Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

In the Darkness (Part 2)

“There are Shaqima made entirely of peanuts, Shaqima made entirely of Chinese popcorn, and the most traditional Shaqima made by Chef Xie Yunfei, which uses flour and eggs and is fried. .”

This judge was so familiar, he told all about Shaqima and its variants in a few words.

But in terms of taste, this judge was very clever. He was a Chinese, just like Xie Yunfei, so he naturally hoped that the young man in front of him would be promoted.

As for cooking, if you know the general taste in advance, there will be less surprises in it, and the score will be lowered invisibly.

Xie Yunfei also understood this. After the judge finished speaking, he turned his head and nodded in the direction where the other party was sitting.

The other judges, because they came from different countries and regions, all showed surprised expressions after hearing the words. They would never have thought that this ordinary dessert with no decorations in front of them turned out to be the royal cuisine of China. Immediately afterwards, a judge put forward a different opinion.

“We already know the origin of this dish, and its square shape also fits the theme of ‘Founder’, but… where does the theme of ‘Nutrition’ reflect?” He sympathized when he couldn’t see it, but he was very strict, “Chef Xie Yunfei, I just watched your production process. When kneading the dough, you didn’t add a drop of water to the dough, but added more eggs to add moisture.”

“That’s not enough. This dessert should have gone through the step of deep-frying, right? No matter how delicious deep-fried dishes are, they shouldn’t have anything to do with nutrition.”

Although there were some nitpicking behaviors, the direction of the judge’s questioning was not wrong.

As we all know, fried food is always defined as junk food by some experts and scholars, and is considered to be one of the causes of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure and other diseases. The arguments of these experts cannot be said to be wrong, but they cannot be regarded as absolutely correct.

At least, the Shaqima Xie Yunfei made at this time, even if there is no nutritional part on the outer layer, there is absolutely no way to be classified as non-nutritive.

There is no other reason…

“It only took three seconds from the time the noodles made of egg dough were put into the oil pan until they were picked up.” Xie Yunfei raised his left hand that was not supported by Xiaoyun, and explained with a smile on his face, “Such a short time , how much fat do you think these noodles have absorbed?”

Without giving the judges time to answer, Xie Yunfei continued.

“The Shaqima I made is in line with the theme of ‘nutrition’…By the way, have you heard of ‘Ganmai Jujube Soup’?”

“Brother, you really discovered it!” The judges hadn’t answered yet, but Xiaoyun, who was standing beside Xie Yunfei, showed a surprised expression.

“How should I put it, I’m also a Huaxia chef.” Xie Yunfei smiled and touched the head of the girl next to him, while telling a little lie.

It also took him a long time to really determine which of the ingredients Xiaoyun selected were classified as ingredients and which were classified as prescription medicine.

Coincidentally, this was discovered by Xie Yunfei when he was washing the wheat. To his surprise, the wheat that Xiaoyun brought back for him floated on the surface of the water without exception after they were put into the water basin. superior.

After touching it carefully with both hands, Xie Yunfei found that the surface of the wheat was a little dry, and it was not an excellent type of food, and should even be discarded. But Xiaoyun brought them all back.

This is obviously not a mistake, if it is, it is impossible for all wheat to be like this.

Then, the answer is already very obvious.

After spending hundreds of points to confirm the names and information of these wheats, Xie Yunfei spent nearly 100,000 points to redeem almost all the medicinal foods that use this kind of wheat and licorice from the mall.

——Ganmai Jujube Soup.

A prescription with very simple ingredients. There are only three herbs in total: licorice, floating wheat, and red dates.

This is a very famous prescription in traditional Chinese medicine for treating dirty and dry. To put it in a simpler way, children are disobedient and always have small movements in class. Parents go to the hospital for medical treatment. The doctor prescribes it for peace of mind, A good recipe for reading.

“So that’s how it is.” The judge wasn’t looking for faults on purpose either, seeing that Yunfei gave such a complete explanation, he stopped talking. Like the judges from Huaxia, he picked up Shaqima with one hand and put it under the other hand, opened his mouth wide, and bit into the dessert.

unique to herbal medicineThe scent filled the tongue and turned into ripples, constantly impacting the judge’s taste buds and sense of smell.

In the whole dish made by Xie Yunfei, it is completely herbal. In fact, only the licorice is the medicinal material, and it is also a medicinal material that brings back sweetness. After a long time of boiling, the medicinal effects of licorice, floating wheat and red dates are completely concentrated in the soup, and these soups are added with nourishing honey and maltose that can strengthen the stomach and eliminate food. It further strengthens the efficacy of the medicine.

That’s not to mention, the ratio of honey to maltose seems to have been adjusted by the young man in front of him. After wrapping all the fried noodles and cooling them down, eating them doesn’t feel sticky at all, but very refreshing.

The noodles after rapid frying were not as cooked as the judges thought at first, and the two completely different tastes of crispy and soft glutinous were produced at the same time. The hand used to prevent the shaqima crumbs from falling is also useless. During the whole tasting process, the materials on the shaqima, whether it is the solidified prescription syrup, fried noodles, or sprinkled on None of the various crushed sesame seeds and walnuts fell between the noodles.

These ingredients, without exception, all entered the mouths of the judges, and as he continued to chew, they turned into strands of sweet body fluid, which were drawn into the esophagus and absorbed by the stomach.

A warm feeling rose from the abdomen, which was impossible.

For most desserts, the best tasting time is after they are cooled. The Shaqima made by Xie Yunfei is no exception because it needs to cool down the prescription syrup wrapped in the fried noodles.

But the body will not deceive itself.

The judge did feel a bit of warmth, and with the passage of time, this warmth began to dissipate along the blood vessels and tendons to the surrounding limbs.

“what……”

I couldn’t help but let out a breath. In the venue with a room temperature of almost 25 degrees, the breath was like the winter outside the venue. The white mist filled the air, and it took a long time for it to disappear slowly.

Looking at the judge from Huaxia who started tasting Jie Yunfei’s desserts earlier, he even leaned back on the chair, holding the back of his head with his hands, his face flushed with satisfaction and happiness.
