Eternal food paradise

The so-called "mian is not noodles" means that it can express the form and eating method of noodles without using flour.

Not only must the shape be consistent, but the "taste" must also be indispensable. Otherwise, there will be major flaws and it will be equivalent to being useless. Of course, it will be impossible to pass this year's special examination.

Xia Yan knew that Liu Pleiades' recipe was "Catfish Noodles".

On the basis of making noodles from catfish meat, there is also squid cut into thin strips. In this way, the elasticity of the shredded squid meat ensures the strength of the noodles.

Lan Feihong's recipe is "Potato Noodles", which uses potato flour instead of wheat flour. It does not require any complicated craftsmanship, and the noodles are also very elastic. In addition, the soul soup base he uses is in the form of cold soup, which is also good in terms of taste. It is called unparalleled.

In the original work.

Shan Xiong, the sous chef of Panlin Restaurant who was not blocked by Xia Yan, was eliminated in this round because he came up with a recipe called "Cat Ear Noodles". The reason is that he only changed The shape of the "noodles" and the essence of the ingredients have not changed, and the interpretation of non-face-to-face exam questions is only superficial.

Xia Yan would certainly not make such a mistake after a month of solitary travel.

After he paused for a moment and decided to use the recipe, Xia Yan walked leisurely to a different part of the venue.

Coincidentally, Liu Pleiades was also nearby, looking for fresh catfish.

As soon as he selected a catfish, he saw Xia Yan appear leisurely, and immediately tilted his little head: "Ah, sir?"

Xia Yan smiled slightly and pointed at the catfish in his hand, "Is this your answer, Subaru?"

"right!"

When it comes to his idea, Liu Pleiades did not hide it at all and explained excitedly: "Because I want to make noodles that are not noodles, I have to look for an ingredient that can be changed. The first thing I thought of was 'catfish'. This is a magic fish that can transform into any dish. "

"Its meat is fishy and fat, with almost no fishy smell and a light taste. Just slaughter and mash the meat and shape it into noodles!"

After saying that, Liu Pleiades suddenly remembered something.

"Sir, you..."

He saw Xia Yan walking to the side of the fish pond, squatting down in front of several water basins, his eyes wandering between the two large basins of shrimps, as if he was choosing.

Of course Liu Pleiades could tell. One of the pots was river shrimp, and the other pot had larger and plump shrimps, and it was sea shrimp.

It's just that the shrimps looked limp, and some were simply motionless, as if they were dead.

"A Subaru, our ideas and recipes are actually very similar."

Hearing Xia Yan's words without raising his head, Liu Pleiades was startled for a moment, then he was heartless and laughed with a sunny smile: "Is this so? I won't lose. In order to get closer to my mother, I have to go." I will not stop the path she has already taken!”

So, Xia Yan picked some that were still fresh from the shrimp basin and returned to his stove.

He put down the bamboo basket and looked around.

The wooden chopping board was full of knife marks.

The four sides of the stove are also covered with traces of wind and rain.

Even where you stand, the floor tiles are broken and sinking.

All of this illustrates the inheritance and history of "Douweichang".

However, more than 90% of those people and stories who left traces will end up swallowing a bitter pill and only come back four years later.

Xia Yan laughed and thought, "Four years? This is too long. Let's not talk about what will happen to me. Liu Pleiades and Lan Feihong, who are on the same stage and in the same venue as me, will definitely become [Dragon Chef] in four years."

Shaking his head, he didn't think much more and started cleaning and processing the batch of shrimps on hand.

Huh.

On the tower, Mrs. Leihua immediately spotted Xia Yan who was removing shrimp shells and picking shrimp threads, "Shrimps? What does he want to do?"

That's right.

Under his handling, one crystal clear shrimp after another fell into the white jade plate, and there were more and more piles.

Among the four people, the one who made the most noise and the most excitement was definitely Han Wu, who slaughtered the cow and cut the meat on the spot.

"Bah, bah, bah—"

The wide kitchen blade is like a scissors in Han Wu's hands. He cuts intensively time and time again to obtain long strips of beef with neat corners and straight lines.

These long and thin "beef strips" are actually Han Wu's interpretation of non-interview examination questions.

His "noodles" use "beef" instead of "flour"!

Lan Feihong.

The second young genius in the examination room was operating a special pressure-pressed pot. He mixed potato flour with water, put it into the pot and sealed it tightly. Then, with the help of a mechanical arm outside, he kept applying pressure to the pot, so that the pot There are dense and dense holes at the bottom, and strips of dense and elastic noodles pop out.

These pressed noodles immediately dropped into the hot water pot and took their shape.

Witnessing this scene, Leihua looked up at the moon that was beginning to climb up into the night sky, and said softly:

"This year, it's still a bunch of weird guys."

Suddenly, Leihua sniffed her nose.

A hint of freshness is hidden in the night breeze.

She discovered that the umami taste came from two sources, one from Xia Yan's and one from Liu Pleiax's stove.

Observed with curiosity and amazement.

The first thing Leihua saw was Liu Pleiades killing the catfish, mincing it into minced meat, making special handmade noodles, and making a thick soup with other fish ingredients.

Let's go see Xia Yan's place again.

He had been peeling the shrimps for a full hour and a half.

After getting a large bowl full of shrimps, which was enough, Xia Yan finally started to mince the shrimps.

The umami flavor is constantly exuded from a puddle of fresh shrimp paste!

"oh?"

Lei Hua looked at the "catfish noodles" that were beginning to take shape under Liu Pleiax's hands, and then looked at the "shrimp paste" that was initially confirmed to be one of the base materials he used to interpret non-noodles under Xia Yan's hands...

Snapped!

At this time, the two men performed surprisingly consistent processes on their stoves and kitchen counters.

They are all cracking eggs.

And only use egg yolks.

One is fish paste and the other is shrimp paste. After mixed with egg yolk, it is kneaded in a tight rhythm.

However, during the process here, Lei Hua let out a sigh, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the details of Xia Yan's kneading. He stared at the shrimp dough that became whiter and more delicate under the repeated scrubbing of his hands...

At the same time, the umami flavor leaking out became more and more intense!

Even Han Wu and Lan Feihong were alarmed.

Do not know why.

Lei Hua noticed the icy coldness in the smell. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and goosebumps appeared on her skin: "What's going on? The wind tonight is not blowing from the north. "

As he said this, Leihua seemed to have seen an extremely strange scene, and his eyes widened instantly.

Made a batter mixed with egg yolk and shrimp paste.

But Xia Yan turned around and took out two large pieces of oil paper, aligned the edges, folded them here, then took another small kitchen knife to cut, then folded them into a square, and then cut them.

In just a few minutes, he turned a large piece of triangular paper over, rolled it in circles, and finally overlapped it into a "spout" shape.

Above is the opening, the filling port.

Pointy head below.

After fixing the shape, Xia Yan filled the large ball of batter into the strange-shaped paper bag through the open opening, and squeezed it with both hands.

"Chiliu——"

From the tip, slender white threads spurted out.

They fell into the steaming pot of boiling water and piled up quickly like white flying catkins.

When Leihua saw this, his mouth opened wider and wider.

"What is this?!"
