Chapter 284

On the plate in front of him, the pork ribs were cut into small pieces and arranged in the shape of a rose. From the tender cross-section, it can be seen that the meat should be very tender and elastic, surrounded by drizzle Covered in a lavender viscous sauce, the dish is as delicate as a work of art.

"Hmm..." Bai Renzong pondered for a while, he couldn't bear to destroy the ribs, but he still forked a small piece, dipped some of the purple sauce on the side and ate it.

Then, his brows relaxed uncontrollably.

"What a soft but deep taste..." Bai Renzong couldn't help but sigh, "The pork ribs are roasted in the oven at high temperature, and the taste is very tender and juicy. After biting down, the gravy and fat explode in the mouth. From the gravy I can taste the honey, the garlic, the pepper, the sage, the olive oil in the marinade.”

As he spoke, Bai Renzong tasted it carefully: "The sauce is made of blueberries, vanilla and cream... and a very unique sour taste. This sour taste should be..." After pondering for a while, Bai Renzong asked Said: "Is it wood sorrel?"

"Bravo." Adam clapped his hands and said with a smile, "As expected of Xiaobai, he is still as good as ever, you can taste it."

"This is really rare." Bai Renzong frowned and thought, "Sorrel is very rarely used in our country. It is only used as a side dish in Japan and some countries. But it has a special sour taste. This sour taste suppresses the unique sweet and sour taste of blueberries, forming a very unique sweet and sour taste...more profound than the sweet and sour taste of strawberries. This dish is simply..."

Bai Renzong really couldn't think of how other people could surpass this dish. He found that Adam's greatest strength was his unparalleled creativity. In the past, his way of making propositions restricted Adam's strengths.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai." Yang Hua said, placing the plate in her hand in front of Bai Renzong, "Taste what I made."

Bai Renzong looked at the plate in front of him, and there were three deep-fried golden and crisp ribs, which were staggered to form a triangular cone shape, and some colorful spices were sprinkled on them as decorations. Pepper, garlic, sesame, crushed peanuts, rattan peppercorns, at first glance it looks like salt and pepper strips.

Bai Renzong was a little disappointed at the first moment, but soon he shook his head: It must not be easy.

Yang Hua's strength lies in his sauce, it is absolutely impossible for the dishes he serves to be without sauce.

Therefore, the salt and pepper pork ribs in front of me may have some secrets, which can only be known after eating.

Bai Renzong grabbed a piece of salt and pepper steak and bit it down. The crispy shell, but after biting down, he found that there was actually a layer of melted cheese under the shell. This layer of cheese was mixed with the spices on the outside to form a The "sauce" of this dish.

"First marinate the ribs with herbs, orange peel, and lemon juice, then sprinkle some five-spice powder and basil on the ribs, then wrap a layer of cheese on the ribs, and finally wrap them in batter and fry them in the pan." Bai Renzong analyzed , "It should be roughly this process, but I don't know how to deal with the details. Generally speaking, it is difficult for fried ribs to have such a soft texture."

"First stew for half an hour, and then deep-fry at high temperature." Yang Hua explained with a smile, "The frying step is actually just to seal the sauce under the batter, because I am worried that you will wait too long, It caused the ribs to cool down. But with this method, even if you leave it for half an hour, the cheese inside will still be melted after eating.”

"It's really detailed, as expected of Chef Yang Hua." Bai Renzong said with a smile.

"In order for Xiaobai to have the best food, I will naturally do my best." Yang Hua smiled gracefully.

"The cheese mixed with spices and gravy turns into a thick sauce in the mouth, and the ribs are made of this kind of cartilage ribs, so you can eat them all..." Bai Renzong said, picking up a piece of meat I ate a portion of spare ribs in one bite, "After biting down, it is first crispy, then thick, then soft and elastic, and finally brittle and tough, with distinct layers of taste. I feel like I can keep eating..."

"Ahem!" At this time, Han Jiayi suddenly cleared her throat loudly, interrupting the two of them, and then put her share of ribs in front of Bai Renzong, "Husband, mine is ready too. Hurry up!" Shall I try it?"

The pork ribs made by Han Jiayi are very solid, a whole huge pork rib, Bai Renzong can hold it with two hands and put it in front of him to chew.This sense of affordability is exactly the style of Han Jiayi's first pass, but it's obviously more than that.

There are small oval-shaped sauces placed at intervals on the ribs, which are cyan, milky white, dark red, and coffee-colored. Obviously, each bite will have a different experience.

"This girl is really..." Bai Renzong smiled wryly in his heart: He would be very happy if it was normal, but today he wants to taste the pork ribs made by six people, but Han Jiayi's situation is that he wants him to eat the whole ribs over.

How can he have such a big appetite?

But the sweet girl in front of him was his wife, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and eat.

"It tastes very similar to the braised pork ribs we made, but the sauce on it provides different flavors. The green one is a green sauce made of basil, olive oil, cheese and salt, and the milky white one is garlic, pepper, The garlic sauce made of rice vinegar, the deep red is the jam made of plums and herbs, and the brown color is the sweet and sour sauce for fried pork chops.” Bai Renzong explained.

After taking a bite of each part, Bai Renzong smiled and said: "Although it is such a large pork rib, but because of different sauces, each bite has a different experience, so it is not greasy at all. Eat it."

So far, Bai Renzong has tasted the skills of the three old partners, and the results are all within his expectations, but after eating the food of these three, the remaining three may be under great pressure.

"Then, let's try the old one next." Liu Yaojun said, and put a spare rib in front of Bai Renzong.

Six spare ribs are lined up in a neat row on the plate, which looks like braised pork ribs without soup.

"Oh? Is this... steamed ribs?" Bai Renzong asked curiously.

Then, he picked up a rib and tasted it, and the moment he bit down, the soup overflowed from the corner of his mouth, which made him stretch his neck forward in fright to prevent the soup from splashing on himself.He turned to the cameraman and asked, "Did you catch it?"

The cameraman nodded behind the camera, then zoomed in on the ribs.

"My God, how can the steamed spare ribs be so juicy?" Bai Renzong asked in surprise, then picked up a spare rib and squeezed it slightly, the gravy dripped onto the plate.

Bai Renzong turned to the camera and said: "Audience friends, I once visited a store of steamed vegetables in Beichang City. Do you still remember? I also ordered steamed ribs that time. I remember some audiences said that the ribs It looks very oily. Then I said, the oil is all steamed out, so it only floats on the surface of the bowl, and the soup is underneath."

Bai Renzong said seriously: "So, do you understand? When steaming, the fat and water in the ribs will be steamed out, but there is so much fat and gravy in this rib...it's unbelievable."

"Actually..." Liu Yaojun was about to explain, when Bai Renzong suddenly realized: "I understand...it's lotus leaves, right? It's wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed, and I can taste the fragrance of lotus leaves from inside."

"Drink it, it's amazing." Liu Yaojun smiled, "Such a heavy seasoning can still be eaten. It's wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed."

"The strong soy sauce flavor, coupled with this thick soup... It's a bit too heavy to eat alone, but it should be perfect with rice." Bai Renzong explained to the camera, "This ribs, how come Let’s just say it’s not as complicated as you say it is, it’s delicious because it relies on solid basic skills. Seasoning and heat, neither more nor less will do.”

Then Xu Li served her ribs. The "arrangement" of this ribs was very special. Three ribs were hung on a decoration similar to a door frame with a thread, which looked like bacon that was dried outside during the Chinese New Year.

Bai Renzong took a sip and said with a smile: "The ribs are smoky, with a unique aroma of wood, and a layer of sauce is spread on the outside. The sauce is sweet and salty, a bit like char siew sauce. But because of the It is ribs, so there is more fat. Even so, the taste of its lean part is still a bit woody, and I think this dish should still need to be studied.”

Xu Li smiled wryly and said, "The time is still too short. If there is another hour, I believe the finished version can be delivered."

Finally, it was Hua Feng's turn. He marinated the pork ribs and made them into sauce-flavored pork ribs.

"How should I put it?" Bai Renzong pondered after tasting, "It's still quite delicious, with certain basic skills, and a lot of thought has been put into the details. You can taste cloves, cinnamon, star anise, orange peel, Fennel, cardamom, sugar, and salt are the seasonings. The sauce has a strong aroma. After marinating, it is quickly toasted with a torch to make the skin crispy. But..."

Bai Renzong frowned, clenched his fists and said, "Compared to other chefs, it's a little less amazing. It just stays at the 'delicious' point. I think it needs to be polished."

Hua Feng was also very modest, and nodded with a smile beside him: "I will study this dish again."

"Then, let's finally announce the result." Bai Renzong sighed, and examined the six ribs in front of him.

The works of Xu Li and Hua Feng are undoubtedly inferior to those of the other four, more like unfinished dishes under development.

But the works of the remaining four people are quite close to completion.

"I think these four works are quite excellent." Bai Renzong replied, "But Master Liu's steamed pork ribs, I think it is a bit heavy as a single work, and it may be eaten with rice. It’s a little less impressive. As for the other three, I’ve thought about it again and again, and the one that impressed me the most, no matter in terms of presentation, sauce or seasoning, is indeed..."

Yang Hua, Han Jiayi and Adam obviously raised their heads and waited for his praise.

"This rib from Chef Adam." Bai Renzong turned to Adam and said.
