The strongest boss in Huadu

Chapter 377 Boiled Cabbage

Chapter 378 Boiled Cabbage

Yu Manxiang saw Lu Qi and Boss Cai in the auditorium.

Of course, there was no excitement of waving.

Just use a slight smile to express the inner emotions at this time.

Yu Manxiang hadn't seen Lu Qi for a month.

You say you don't miss Lu Qi, but Yu Manxiang can't do it.

Yu Manxiang usually has very few friends, except for her colleagues in the store.

And Lu Qi, the boss, was the only one who could let her open up and chat with her.

Lu Qi's appearance, Lu Qi's excellence, and Lu Qi's personality all attracted Yu Manxiang invisibly.

But Yu Manxiang is someone who will not easily reveal her inner feelings to the surface.

In addition to the audience, there are a few essential people who are here today.

That's the judges.

There are ten judges, including the master chefs and famous gourmets.

In order to show fairness, the competition will use the average score of the other eight after removing the highest score and the lowest score.

Moreover, the game is divided into three rounds.

At least ten people will be eliminated in the first round, then the second round will be the semi-finals, at least five people will be eliminated in the semi-finals, and the last five will participate in the finals.

The referee is seated and the players are ready.

The title of the first round of competition: boiled cabbage, with a time limit of half an hour.

"Wow!"

As soon as the topic came out, hundreds of viewers responded a little bit.

"Unexpectedly, the first dish of this year is so simple."

"It's a pity! It's a pity. It would be great if I could come to participate. Sichuan cuisine's boiled cabbage is my specialty."

"You guys underestimate the Chinese Cuisine World Competition! The seemingly simple dish of boiled cabbage is actually the most difficult. Have you seen the expressions on the faces of the chefs? The competition has already started, and they haven't done it yet. This dish is the most difficult. The dish seems simple, but how to make it stand out from others is the most difficult thing. The most important thing is, the competition time is only half an hour, how can a real boiled cabbage be cooked in half an hour? Okay? Usually, the soup needs to be boiled for at least two hours to make boiled cabbage, but now it takes half an hour, how is that possible."

"Behind the seemingly simple, there is a hidden mystery."

"This dish seems to be a test of the chef's flexibility."

Hearing what this person said, Lu Qi nodded slightly.

Those who can watch this game, it seems that it is not easy, and the understanding is very thorough.

You are right, it seems that making boiled cabbage is simple, but it is not easy to do it well, and this competition is only half an hour, unless you directly boil water and put the cabbage in, then you can make "boiled cabbage". This is not real boiled cabbage!

Cooking a dish of boiled cabbage in half an hour is a violation of the usual "rules".

Out of the [-] contestants on the field, ten of them have already started making.

There are ten other people who are still thinking seriously, including Yu Manxiang.

Yu Manxiang closed her eyes, she was recalling, imagining, and thinking.

How to make a half-hour boiled cabbage?
The judges off the court were actually worried about the players on the court.

It is impossible to make a boiled cabbage in half an hour according to normal thinking.

If you are stuck in ordinary thinking, it is impossible to make the boiled cabbage needed for this competition.

It means that this boiled cabbage is not that boiled cabbage.

This dish not only tests the reaction ability of the chefs, but also a kind of comprehension ability.

In addition, it is also a test of the chef's original cooking skills.

In a dish, the most delicious taste comes from the taste of the ingredients themselves.

This is what it means to make a boiled cabbage in half an hour.

One of the essential items for making boiled cabbage is chicken soup that has been boiled for several hours.

And it takes half an hour to make a dish of boiled cabbage, which implies that the chicken soup is not needed.

This boiled cabbage requires chefs to make authentic boiled cabbage.

Yu Manxiang slowly opened her eyes.

A charming smile appeared on his face.

she's about to start
After half an hour, the game time is up.

There are a few chefs who are obsessed with making boiled cabbage for chicken soup, so when the time comes, it is not finished, which is a pity.

In order to save time, several chefs boiled the chicken soup for only 10 minutes. Although the time was up, the taste of the chicken soup was hard to describe.

There were only eight contestants, who chose to take an unusual path, including Yu Manxiang.

They chose to forego boiled chicken stock for stock.

Instead, it was just boiled water with just the right amount of sugar and salt in it.

Put the boiled water in two pots.

Put the selected and tender cabbage heart into the boiling water with sugar until it is half-cooked, then take it out and rinse it with clean water, then puncture the cabbage heart repeatedly with a silver needle, put it on a colander and pour it on top with plain water Drizzle until the choy sum is cooked.

Then put the cabbage heart into the bottom of the bowl, and then scoop another pot of boiled water into the bowl, and it's done.

It's that simple.

The result can be imagined, only eight players can enter the second round, and the others are eliminated.

One chef from the United States was not satisfied with the result.

He shouted loudly to the ten judges in the non-standard Chinese language: Why, the boiled cabbage I made is the real boiled cabbage, and the boiled cabbage they made is incomplete.

And a referee answered his question: I just want to ask you, can traditional boiled cabbage be served in half an hour?

The American chef thought about it: How could it be possible to make boiled cabbage in half an hour? It takes two to three hours to actually cook the soup.

Referee: How long did your soup boil?
American chef: 10, [-] minutes.

Referee: What do you think of the taste of the boiled cabbage you made yourself?
American Chef: .
The American chef was afraid to speak.

Because the chicken soup was only boiled for 10 minutes, the taste is really not flattering.

Referee: The reason why we asked this question is to test a chef's ability to adapt on the spot. If our chef is only obsessed with traditional thinking and cannot adapt to special situations, it will be difficult to become a top Chinese chef .

Unexpectedly, the most important test of this boiled cabbage dish is the on-the-spot adaptability.

Rather than clinging to real boiled cabbage.

If under special circumstances, if there is no chicken soup for you, can’t you make a boiled cabbage that comes from the taste of the ingredients themselves?

Although it lacks the richness and mellowness of chicken soup, it has the freshness, sweetness and tenderness of cabbage.

What I want is not the top boiled cabbage, but the most common boiled cabbage without chicken soup.

Lu Qi couldn't help but admire the genius of the person who made the question, so he came to participate in the Chinese food cooking competition. The first question was not to test cooking skills, but resilience.

If you think about it that way, it's quite level.

It's just that this is really unfair to chefs who don't have strong adaptability.

But in society, how can there be absolute fairness?

You can't, it's because you can't, it doesn't mean others can't.

After a short break, the semi-finals begin.

Competition title: Squirrel mandarin fish, time limit 10 minutes.

"One hour is more than enough to make a dish of squirrel mandarin fish."

"It seems that this time the competition is real cooking."

"Chinese dishes are all about color, flavor and taste, and this squirrel mandarin fish dish has an extra shape and harmony.

That's right, Lu Qi had eaten Yu Manxiang's squirrel mandarin fish once.

That's the ultimate in color, fragrance, shape and sound.

Color is the color that a dish looks like.

Fragrance is the smell of a dish.

Taste is the taste that our tongue gives us when we eat a dish.

Shape: It is the specific shape that a dish looks like.

So what is the sound?The color, smell and shape are understandable.

Cooked dishes still have sound?This is unbelievable.

This is the special feature of squirrel mandarin fish. When the fried mandarin fish with the shape of "squirrel" comes out on the table, it is immediately poured with steaming marinade. This squirrel mandarin fish squeaky like "squirrel" The sound is really interesting.

At the start of the game, the eight contestants did not stand and think like they did in the previous round.

Instead, start making it directly.

Squirrel mandarin fish can be said to be a Kung Fu dish. To make a good squirrel shape, it requires very good knife skills.

When cutting the fish, the knife is as deep as four-fifths of the meat, and the skin of the fish must not be broken at the same time, otherwise the shape after frying will be ruined, which means that the shape of the squirrel mandarin fish will be lost.

That would be a very serious penalty.

If you can't even do the most basic form well, you will never be the champion of the competition.

Among them, the control of the production process is extremely demanding.

The materials are just right, the heat is controlled, the time is controlled, and when to put what materials
If there is a problem in one of the links, then the hero to the result is big.

This is the Chinese Cuisine Cooking World Competition. Which of the chefs who come here is not a superb cooker with a great reputation, and the test is always on the details.

The test is the ability to handle extreme details.

The test is who can achieve the ultimate in color, fragrance, shape and sound.

This squirrel mandarin fish is a test of pure cooking skills!
