Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 192 Sweet and Sour Eggplant + Stir-Fried Eggplant = Flavored Eggplant! [Come and change for ashes]

Back at the judging panel, Liu Zhengyu was still thinking about Lin Xu's Yangzhou fried rice.

It's not that the staple food made by other contestants is not delicious.

The main reason is that the Yangzhou fried rice is too much for his appetite.

All the ingredients have a strong umami aroma, and the fried dry and delicious rice grains also exude the aroma of lard, which is simply too pleasing.

As the president of the National Tourism Association.

Liu Zhengyu went to almost all the restaurants in domestic five-star hotels.

There are countless delicacies eaten.

But never have I been more obsessed with a serving of fried rice than I am today.

It's a pity that Lin Xu only made one portion, and there were a dozen or so judges, so everyone only ate one or two mouthfuls, which was not enjoyable at all.

Not far from the advisory seat.

Dai Jianli took the biscuits on the plate and handed them to Xie Baomin:

"You really guessed it right. Our brother's bowl of fried rice directly grasped the fate of the judges. The number one is well deserved!"

Xie Baomin is really a bit hungry right now.

He squeezed two pieces and tasted them, then said to He Baoqing:
"Boss, can the chef in your dim sum shop switch with me?"

He Baoqing said immediately after hearing this:
"Don't even think about it, you must have fooled me with a cook."

Xie Baomin squeezed another biscuit and put it into his mouth:
"No, I'll replace you with the chef who was on the stove. Qin Wei, a new chef in our cooking area, is good at all kinds of home-cooked dishes. Have you heard of him?"

As Building No. [-] closest to Building No. [-], He Baoqing naturally knew Qin Wei.

Apart from his introverted personality, this young chef really has nothing wrong with him.

Unlike Wei Gan in Building No. [-], who is getting more and more slippery now.

In the past two days, he has been switching places with the chef who bullied him, and he doesn't know what he's thinking.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xie Baomin and asked:
"Old Xie, are you really willing to trade Qin Wei for my pastry chef?"

"Yes, but let's say it first, you must know how to make this biscuit. If you get me a helper from the snack room, I will turn against you."

When He Baoqing heard it, he snorted immediately:
"Do you think I'm just as quick to cheat people as you are? As long as you nod, then change!"

"Then I'll tell Qin Wei when I get back. After I come, you can give him a symbolic bonus of one or two thousand yuan to appease him. That kid has a lot of thoughts, so just don't let him be wronged."

"Don't worry, thank you, I know what to do."

Inside Diaoyutai, this kind of personnel transfer is actually quite normal.

Especially with the acquiescence of the chefs, the personnel side will fully cooperate.

After making arrangements for Qin Wei.

Xie Baomin said to Qiu Zhenhua again:

"Qiu Qiu, the front desk manager in your front desk wearing a cheongsam... is called Xiao He, right? I want to exchange Shu Yun with her, would you like to?"

Qiu Zhenhua was eating melons, but Xie Baomin's words brought the topic to him again.

But wait...

Shu Yun?

Wasn't he just selected as the most popular front office manager in the first half of the year a few days ago?

He looked at Xie Baomin and asked:
"Stop bluffing me, would you be willing to trade such an excellent employee as Shu Yun?"

Xie Baomin sighed:
"It's okay if you don't want to. Two days ago, because of Lin Xu, I had a quarrel with Shu Yun. It has reached the point where I can't work together, so I want to transfer her out."

Oh? ? ? ?

The chefs around all looked like they were eating melons.

Unexpectedly, there are still people in Diaoyutai Bar who dare to quarrel with Lao Xie.

Qiu Zhenhua still couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him.

But seeing that Xie Baomin didn't seem to be lying, he nodded and said:

"I'll tell Xiaohe when I go back, if she wants to go to Building No. [-], I'll trade with you. Don't worry, Shu Yun went to Building No. [-], and the bonus is indispensable."

Although Xiao He in Building No. [-] is pretty good, he still has some gaps with Manager Shu Yun.

After all, Shu Yun has even been praised by foreign heads of state, and he is the benchmark of all front desk managers in Diaoyutai.

This wave of exchange is definitely not a loss.

After confirming the exchange, Xie Baomin heaved a long sigh of relief.

Although the younger brother hasn't dug out Shu Yun and Qin Wei yet, but his thoughts are almost written on his face, and he, as a senior brother, can naturally see it clearly.

In order to prevent the younger brother from being embarrassed to poach his own corner.

He thought of such an idea.

Swap out Shu Yun and Qin Wei, so that the younger brother can invite them to join Linji Cuisine without distraction.

As for what to do with He Baoqing and Qiu Zhenhua after they were poached away.

Harmful!The world is inherently sinister, so if He Baoqing and Qiu Qiu have such an opportunity to see each other, they can't be better than me, thank you!

When several people were chatting.

A player was eliminated again, and now there are only ten players left on the field.

None of the Diaoyutai trio was eliminated, and they were far ahead in the group standings, basically unshakable.

At this moment.

Two staff members brought a large basket of eggplants.

By the way, a new shelf was pushed in.

Various ingredients such as pork belly, salted fish, beef, green onion and ginger are placed on it.

The main judge Liu Zhengyu got up with the microphone and said:
"Eggplant is a very common ingredient, and there are many kinds of dishes. The content of this round of competition is to use eggplant to make a dish. There are no restrictions on the flavor and method. The competition time is half an hour, and the timer starts!"

eggplant?

This round has limited ingredients.

The fans in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited:

"My garlic eggplant can't be without a name!"

"Please make eggplant with minced meat, this is my favorite!"

"Burning Eggplant Request to fight!"

"Isn't my Dachuanyu's fish-flavored eggplant worthy of appearing?"

"I like to eat eggplant stew. I hope all contestants can make it, and let me see the upper limit of this dish."

"What about sweet and sour eggplant? Don't sweet and sour eggplant have a name?"

"I think Kelong is delicious. It is fried crispy and crispy, and then poured with a soup made of minced meat. The taste is really amazing!"

"Everyone can try the eggplant box. If it's not good, I'll take my head off."

"..."

On the barrage in the live broadcast room, eggplant lovers of various flavors fought in a melee, starving Chen Yan who was following the live broadcast room.

She pinched a piece of snack from her cousin and stuffed it into her mouth, and asked curiously:
"My brother-in-law doesn't seem to have cooked eggplant dishes before, Yueyue, which dish do you think he will cook?"

This question really stumped Shen Baobao:

"I don't know either. I've eaten eggplant stew made by him before. This round of competition is only half an hour. He probably doesn't have time to roll the noodles, right?"

It doesn't matter what Xubao does.

All that matters is that he wins.

Chen Yan gave her younger sister a helpless look.

If husband control is a kind of disease, Yue Yue is probably already terminally ill.

The scene of the game.

The contestants are picking the ingredients to use.

Guo Xinghai took a piece of salted fish from the shelf, this is the rhythm of cooking salted fish and eggplant.

And Wei Gan took a piece of pork belly, this time it was probably to make eggplant with minced meat.

Lin Xu looked at the figures of everyone busy choosing ingredients, feeling a little confused and not knowing what to do.

Although he likes to eat eggplant, the eggplant that has been cooked is only marinated with diced eggplant.

It is definitely not acceptable to make eggplant stew on this occasion.

Because there are no noodles on the shelf at all, it is too late to make noodles by hand at this moment.

Recalling the techniques I have mastered, it seems that there are several ways to choose, such as sweet and sour eggplant, such as dry-stirred eggplant, which can be made now.

But sweet and sour eggplant and stir-fried eggplant are all too common.

Moreover, one of these two dishes is sweet and sour and the other is spicy. The taste is too simple, so it may not be able to get a high score.

Think again, think again, and see what else tastes good and can get a high score.

This round has limited ingredients.

Everyone is making a fuss about eggplant.

So we must make new ideas, so as to impress the judges.

He thought about the recipes of sweet and sour eggplant and dry-stir-fried eggplant in his mind, and suddenly a new idea came to his mind:
Wouldn't it be better if the two dishes were combined?

Go with that thought.

He gradually deduced the recipe of the whole dish.

First of all, the eggplant should be deep-fried enough to be crispy enough, so that it will be poured with the prepared sauce, and the crispy taste will be more intense when it meets the sweet and sour spicy sauce.

To achieve this, the eggplant should be sliced ​​slightly thinner.

Otherwise, the fried eggplant will definitely be soft.

As for the sauce, it has to be thick enough.

It is best to boil until it feels sticky and gelatinous like rock sugar elbows.

This will allow you to hang on to the eggplant.

At the same time, it can keep the eggplant crisp and not soft for a long time.

After all, after making dishes for so long, Lin Xu's cooking experience has become more and more abundant, and he can even derive new dishes based on the experience he has mastered.

After finding out the whole cooking process.

He picked two long strips of purple eggplant, took dried chili, pepper, garlic, sugar, mature vinegar, cornstarch and other ingredients and condiments, and returned to his stove to start preparations.

"What is Boss Lin going to do?"

"White sugar and mature vinegar should be used to make sweet and sour eggplant, and pepper and pepper should be used to make fried eggplant or spicy eggplant. If you put these two together, don't you understand?"

"Is it spicy sweet and sour eggplant?"

"It could also be sweet and sour spicy eggplant."

"Upstairs, where are you two going?"

"No matter what you do, just ask Boss Lin to win the championship quickly, and don't make any fools."

"..."

On the live broadcast car at the back door of Building [-].

Zeng Xiaoqi said excitedly:

"Mr. Zhen, Mr. Zhen, we have surpassed Minsheng Channel's "Hot News Tracking", and we are not far behind Sports Channel's "Today's Sports World". With this momentum, when the finals are coming, we may become a TV show in Taiwan. The ratings champion of the time slot."

It's such a joy.

The channel with the lowest ratings in the entire station suddenly turned around.

Is there anything more powerful than this?
Zhen Wensheng was watching the live broadcast on the Internet at the moment, and the barrage in the live broadcast gave him inspiration.

"Xiaoqi, how about we also interact with the audience watching TV? Let them leave a message on the WeChat official account, guess what Lin Xu is going to cook, and get tickets to the scenic spot if they guess correctly."

this……

Zeng Xiaoqi thought she could give it a try.

It just happened to attract a wave of traffic to the official account of the Travel Channel.

in front of the stove.

Lin Xu cleaned the eggplant with salt.

Then put it on the chopping board.

This is a new attempt, and there is no place for reference, so everything must be cautious and cautious.

In this round of competition, he no longer wants to win the first place, as long as he guarantees not to be eliminated.

Put the cleaned eggplants on the chopping board.

First cut off the stem of the eggplant, then cut the eggplant in half.

After cutting it, he thought about it and cut the eggplant in half again.

Hmm, that looks like the thing to do.

However, after cutting like this, there will be too much eggplant flesh. According to his experience of eating fried skewers, such eggplants are easy to fry to soften, but it is not easy to fry them crispy.

The excess eggplant flesh must be removed.

He sliced ​​off the flesh of the eggplant with a vegetable blade, and then cut the remaining part obliquely into strips about one centimeter wide.

Cut and serve on a plate.

Then pour a little water, grab a handful of dry starch and sprinkle it in.

If you want the eggplant to be crispy, you can't use salt to kill the water, otherwise the eggplant will be soft and the crispy taste will not be achieved.

Stir in the basin with your hands to let the dry starch evenly hang on the surface of the eggplant.

After hanging up, heat the oil in the pan and prepare for frying.

Lin Xu was not idle while waiting for the oil to heat up. He cut the dried chili into pepper segments, peeled and washed the garlic and cut it into garlic slices, and then put a handful of green peppercorns.

This is the material used to make this dish.

Lin Xu was actually a little apprehensive when he first started doing it, for fear that if he didn't do it well, he would overturn his car.

By this time, he had calmed down instead.

I don't even care much about the rankings, I just want to make the deduced dishes, taste the taste, and see if there are any deficiencies.

When the oil temperature is [-]% hot.

Lin Xu scattered the eggplant sticks covered with dry starch into the pot and oiled them.

Don't turn the eggplant sticks when they just go down, otherwise the dry starch on the surface will be de-pasted.

Fry until the eggplant strips are slightly browned, and then use a spoon to gently stir in the pan to separate the sticky ones.

under the action of hot oil.

The eggplant sticks that were still a little soft quickly hardened.

When you stir the pot with a spoon, you can even hear the friction sound of eggplant sticks colliding with each other.

When the surface is browned, take out with a slotted spoon to control the oil.

By the way, beat the fat in the pot with a leaky leaker to prevent the dry starch that falls off from being fried in the pot and cause the fat to become bitter.

The oil temperature is [-]% hot.

Put the eggplant strips back into the oil pan and fry again.

The surface of the re-fried canneng eggplant strips is more crispy, and at the same time, it is not easy to soften.

Fry again for fifteen seconds.

Take out the eggplant sticks in the pot, and pour out the oil in the pot at the same time, leaving a little bottom oil, after heating, pour in the dried pepper, dried chili and garlic slices.

Stir-fry over low heat to bring out the spicy flavor.

Immediately cook a little dark soy sauce into the pot to increase the color and aroma of the sauce.

Stir-fry twice, pour in half a frying spoon of mature vinegar, then pour in the same amount of white sugar as the vinegar, then add a teaspoon of salt, and pour in a little light soy sauce.

Start stirring the pot with a spoon.

This step cannot be rushed.

It is necessary to boil the sugar juice thoroughly like making rock sugar elbows, and at the same time dry out the water in the juice, so that the eggplant becomes more delicious.

Soon.

The sauce in the pot began to become thick, and the sweet and sour and spicy flavors wafted out of the pot.

Xie Baomin was surprised.

When did the younger brother learn the flavored eggplant?

And do it so politely.

Originally thought that this round would be difficult, but now it seems that this round of competition is still pinching snails with three fingers-ninety out of ten!
Guo Weidong on the side said:
"The so-called side dishes must be eaten with rice. If you don't have a meal list, you will either feel salty, or feel greasy, or both salty and greasy. Only Lin Xu didn't cook the side dishes this round, so he won. "

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Guo Weidong guessed the final result of this round without waiting for the result.

Of course, that's what he wanted too.

Who wouldn't want to see people from Diaoyutai win a cooking competition held in Diaoyutai?
The sauce in the pan is getting thicker and thicker.

When it was ready to hang on the spoon, Lin Xu put the fried eggplant strips into the pot, and sprinkled a handful of cooked white sesame seeds on the way.

Sesame can increase the fragrance, but also make it look better.

After putting it away, stir the sauce and eggplant strips evenly, so that each eggplant is covered with sauce and white sesame seeds.

After doing this.

Take out of the pot and put on a plate.

Just got the dishes out.

A system notification sounded in my mind:
"The host used the existing culinary experience to make bold innovations, to make a perfect dish with flavored eggplant, and to reward an excellent dish-chopped pepper fish head."

Wuhu!

Bet right!

I really didn't expect that after three rounds of the series of missions, there was no reward for any decent missions. In the end, I tried to make a new dish, and I was rewarded with chopped pepper fish head.

What a surprise!

At this moment, all the contestants have already prepared the dishes.

The judges stepped off the judges' seats and began to comment.

In the audience below the stage.

Lu Lu asked Zhu Yong who was sitting next to him:
"Can Boss Lin win this round?"

As the top three players in the last Diaoyutai Competition, Zhu Yong has a clear understanding of this round of competition. He said with a smile:

"Whether Boss Lin can win or not depends on whether the judges have rice. If they want to give each person a bowl of rice, they will definitely lose, but if they don't have rice, they will definitely win this round."

rice?

Isn't this a cooking competition?

What does it have to do with rice?
Lu Lu couldn't understand Zhu Yong's words for a moment.

But Guo Xinghai and others on the stage realized this. They looked at the dishes they made, and then at the dishes made by Lin Xu...

Careless.

You should review the questions before starting.

No wonder Lin Xu hesitated for a long time before making a move.

Definitely thinking about what to cook.

After Liu Zhengyu and the others came down, they sighed with emotion every time they tasted a dish:
"It would be nice to have a bowl of rice."

These dishes are all the same, all of them are very good for dinner, but this is a cooking competition, and no rice is prepared for the judges, so everyone can only taste it while regretting.

at last.

Come to Lin Xu in front of this dish.

Liu Zhengyu adjusted his glasses and asked with a smile:

"Lin Xu, they all made the next meal, why didn't you do it?"

Lin Xu said truthfully:
"I do not know."

Liu Zhengyu immediately laughed:
"Look how humble this young man is."

The other judges also laughed and echoed, praising Lin Xu for not having the arrogance of young people, and being a role model for others to learn from.

Lin Xu: "..."

I'm just telling the truth, I really don't know how to eat eggplant.

After the judges finished speaking, they began to taste this flavored eggplant under the leadership of Liu Zhengyu.

The entrance is sweet and sour, spicy and spicy, with a hint of sesame aroma.

Take a bite, and the crispy eggplant strips are wrapped in a rich sauce. The four flavors of sour, sweet, numbing, and spicy are brought together in the mouth by the fresh taste of the eggplant itself.

It was amazing to eat.

And this eggplant stick is salty and light.

Finally, I no longer have to worry about the lack of rice.

"It's delicious! Lin Xu, your craftsmanship is beyond words, it's amazing!"

"Indeed, it has refreshed my understanding of eggplant."

"Looking forward to your performance in the next round!"

"No, I have to take another bite. This eggplant stick is really well done."

"..."

After the judges finished eating, they returned to the judges' seats and began to score.

Lin Xu took the opportunity to taste the salted fish eggplant stew made by Guo Xinghai and the minced meat eggplant made by Wei Gan.

The flavors were all perfect.

It's a pity that there is only one bowl of rice missing.

Soon, the score will come out.

Lin Xu won the first place again.

The system's prompt sound also rang in my mind:
"Congratulations to the host for winning the first place in this round of competition, completing the fourth level of the serial task [Passing the level], and getting an excellent cooking learning card."

Oh open!

Finally reward something useful.

It's a pity that it came too late.

If I had come earlier, I might have learned a dish just now.

But it's fine.

The next round of competition can continue to steal.

For example, Huo Yifan glared at himself several times at the beginning of the competition, so it wouldn't be too much to secretly learn a dish from him later, right?

--------

Thank you again for the reward from the boss of [Ashes come and go], and add a chapter to the title, to express my heart.This chapter is 5400 words, ask for a monthly pass, brothers!
