Food: How did I become a chef when I set up a stall.

Jiang Feng brought Sun Zhuangfei to Magnesium Country.

After some publicity and scheduling, he also officially joined the new season of Magnesium Country's "All-Star Chef Competition".

Judging from the contestants invited by the program team, they are indeed very powerful and come from different countries and regions.

Specifically, they include Italy, France, Spain, India, Thailand, the Middle East, mainland China, and one person, naturally the representative of Chinese food, Jiang Feng.

Since Jiang Feng did not publicize this matter to the outside world, and this foreign variety show did not receive enough attention in China, people in China did not know that Jiang Feng was competing outside.

Although it is a show, it is a real competition.

Because the chefs invited are all professional chefs, all have names, and they are all chefs or managers of some top restaurants.

At least it's at the three-star Michelin level.

Jiang Feng is the most famous Chinese chef, the owner of eight restaurants with different cuisines, the top chef in the restaurant, and an all-around chef.

Seeing these names, Jiang Feng felt that they were quite objective.

If they are all amateur chefs, then the competition may be more interesting. After all, ordinary people participate in the show just to have fun.

But if they were all chefs, it would be different.

Everyone is a well-known figure, and some players even have a very high status in the local area.

This level of competition is quite interesting.

In terms of cooking, Jiang Feng has always believed that "a ruler is short and an inch is long."

He is a very fair person.

There is something unique about Chinese cuisine, and the cuisine in other regions also has its own characteristics.

Just compare them together and show the highlights.

The competition venue was a huge studio that was extremely luxuriously decorated with various lights and colored lanterns lit up.

There are eight stoves on the stage with all functions.

After some warm-up, program promotion, contestant interviews, judges’ introductions, etc., the competition finally started.

Gordon is one of the organizers of the show and the most famous chef in the world. He has hosted many food shows and is also a judge of this competition.

His popularity abroad is exaggerated.

The international reputation is even greater.

He started by saying some inspiring words.

For example, on this stage, many amazing champions have been born who have been shrouded in the spotlight, and many people have sadly left in the shadows.

Many people have left their own stories here.

And this time, everyone invited is the most famous and top chef in each region.

This one is not just an all-star chef show, but an all-star masters competition.

Only top chefs can produce the top results.

I have to say that Gordon is still very good at stirring up the atmosphere.

The eight chefs were all a little excited, including Jiang Feng, and they all felt that things were getting interesting.

The collision of the highest culinary skills, the more so, the more interesting it is.

Today is the opening of the show, and at this moment, Gordon directly announced the rules of the game.

It is not the so-called elimination system of eight into four or four into two.

Instead, special topics are given, everyone competes together, the judges score, and the last one is eliminated.

In this episode, the last two chefs will be eliminated.

After hearing this, everyone became even more nervous and even a little panicked.

Gordon is also known as "Hell's Chef" abroad. He runs a show called "Hell's Kitchen". This person is very good at creating program effects and grasping the rhythm.

Gordon directly told everyone that now, the first game starts directly.

The topic of this issue is: Vegetarian food
Only vegetarian cooking is allowed, only vegetable oils can be used, eggs, meat, fish are not allowed.

He also told the eight contestants that there were dozens of vegetables prepared later, and everyone could choose at will.

"I know everyone thought we were here to shoot a promotional video today."

"But I'm sorry, what I want to tell everyone is that today is the first game."

“The less preparation is done in advance, the more a chef’s basic skills will be tested.”

"Now, the game officially begins."

"You have half an hour to pick vegetables and one and a half hours to cook."

"Please hold on tight."

Gordon said with a meaningful smile on his face.

The faces of the chefs were full of surprise and shock, and they were all confused.

The program team just told them that they were wearing chef uniforms today and were preparing to shoot a promotional video for the competition.

Who would have thought that it would suddenly be real!
Jiang Feng was relatively calm, he had already discovered the clues.

Because every stove is filled with various condiments, and some condiments can be opened directly, such as salt, sugar, pepper, etc.

This means that today we are going to cook.

Then, he smiled confidently.

As he thought, every food culture has its own unique and beautiful features.

But when it comes to vegetarian food, Chinese food really has no rival.

And there is no opponent at all.

No matter which country the food is from, it is impossible to live without meat.

Or just a staple like pasta.

The variety of pure vegetarian dishes is very small.

As for Chinese vegetarian food, Jiang Feng could think of many of them, such as shredded potatoes, tofu, cabbage, etc. But this was a world-class cooking competition after all, and stir-frying shredded potatoes was too low-class and did not suit his status.

At this time, the chefs started to move and ran towards the vegetable area at the back.

Jiang Feng walked past leisurely.

Take a look at what ingredients are available before deciding what to cook.

Today's game is a personal one. Relatives, friends and family members are all sitting in the audience and can only watch.

Jiang Feng came to the vegetable area at the back and laughed instantly when he saw the dazzling array of vegetables.

The vegetables are very complete, that’s good.

You can do whatever you want.

The rules of the program crew are to cook at least two dishes, which must be exquisite.

“Vegetarianism seems to be a form of political correctness abroad now.”

“It’s understandable that the program started with a vegetarian theme.”

“There are a lot of vegetarian options in Chinese food.”

"Then I will make a dish based on various fungi and bamboo shoots."

Jiang Feng was thinking in his heart.

There are a lot of fungi here, including various morels, morels, and various mushrooms.

Jiang Feng decided on the first dish he would make:

Dinghu Shangsu!

The so-called "Dinghu Shangsu" is a vegetarian dish in the Manchu-Han banquet. It uses all vegetarian dishes, but it tastes like meat and has an excellent texture.

Being able to occupy a place in the Manchu-Han banquet shows the quality of this dish.

After all, Jiang Feng is a walking encyclopedia of food.

It is not difficult for him to cook on a given topic.

This also shows his level as a top chef.

If you are an ordinary chef, when you see this special topic, you will probably think of dishes such as fried shredded potatoes, fried beans, and ground delicacies.

It is a widely recognized saying in the catering industry that vegetarian dishes are more difficult to prepare than meat dishes.

Any vegetarian restaurant will be more expensive.

Because it is indeed difficult to make vegetarian dishes, and it is even more difficult to make them exquisite and delicious.

In particular, it can be seen that the competition in this program is extremely challenging.

Several chefs specialize in selecting expensive ingredients. No matter whether they are used or not, they take them first.

Jiang Feng filled the basket with the ingredients for the first dish, and then began to think about the second dish.

Eggs cannot be used in this game either.

Jiang Feng wanted to make boiled cabbage or Wensi tofu.

But in this kind of game, visual effects are also an important factor.

Boiled cabbage is too low-key and restrained. Jiang Feng is worried that foreigners will not understand this Chinese cultural characteristic, so he still plans to make some exquisite vegetarian dishes.

Wensi Tofu is just a bowl of soup, which does not meet the requirements of the program.

So what Jiang Feng plans to make is "first-grade tofu."

As a Chinese vegetarian dish, tofu is very popular abroad.

Jiang Feng discovered that the program team had prepared fresh tofu.

Needless to say, this was for him.

Jiang Feng saw the program team's intention.

"If there is tofu, it must be prepared for me."

"Then let's make first-class tofu."

"Always make a dish of tofu."

Jiang Feng thought.

He took his time and picked out the ingredients, then went to get some onions, garlic and the like.

Some of the other chefs have already selected the ingredients, while others are still thinking hard. The scene is very interesting.

I have to say that the quality of this program is very high.

From the level of the judges and contestants to the decoration of the studio, they are all amazing.

In such an environment, Jiang Feng felt that he was completely activated and just wanted to start cooking quickly.

Topic: Vegetarian food

Dishes: Dinghu vegetarian food, Yipin tofu.

Jiang Feng handled it with ease. This was the confidence that his background in Chinese food gave him.

After everything was ready, Jiang Feng returned to the stove and was ready to start cooking.

Gordon will specifically interview each player and ask them to make some pre-game declarations.

When Jiang Feng was interviewed, Jiang Feng said with a confident smile:

“Chinese food culture is extensive and profound, and there are many, many vegetarian dishes.”

"I can only choose two and present them."

Hearing his words, Gordon nodded and said, "I wish you all the best."

At this moment, the eight world's top chefs officially begin their duel.

The chef all-star competition, MasterChef, begins. (End of this chapter)
