Gourmets in the Heavens

Aware of the meaning of "opening up" the artistic conception contained in the soup, Nakiri Senzaemon's progress towards Zhao Yougan can only be described as amazing.

It is not such a simple matter to develop a new production method, or even a combination of taste dishes, but once completed, the feedback to the cook is unparalleled.

This kind of spiritual and illusory thing, the more you get to Linchu, the more critical it is.

Therefore, Zhao Youqian was able to challenge a different sense of taste in such a short period of time, subverting the ratio of dishes, and to Nakiri Senzaemon, the shock caused was far greater than anything else.

'Where is this Jiaolong?This is the real dragon species that really lurks in the creek, and will become a nine-day dragon in case of a storm! '

Not to mention the waves in his heart, Zhao Youqian is quite confident in this kind of cooking, and he even used a colander to scoop up a few pieces of cured pig's trotters, white radish, and winter melon into Nakiri Senzaemon's bowl.

"The chief will try other ingredients, the taste is not bad..."

"After eating the original flavor, you can dip it into a plate and try it. There will be two different flavors."

As for the dipping dish, Zhao Yougan himself is still the same old way, minced garlic, spicy millet, scallion sesame oil with a little light soy sauce and mature vinegar, this is his favorite dipping dish, no matter what hot pot ingredients it is paired with, it will add flavor.

The preparation for Nakiri Senzaemon is different, a little seven-flavored powder, yellow mustard with yuzu vinegar and green onion powder.

The dipping dish tends to be Dongying style, which is a bit similar to the dipping sauce of "Xiabu Xiabu", but with the addition of yellow wasabi, it is more like a dipping dish that can only be used when eating Kanto cooking.

Hearing what Zhao Yougan said, Nakiri Senzaemon couldn't help being a little more curious.

The cured pig’s trotters have already been cut into pieces. In Zhao Youqian’s method, after removing the sediment and black ash on the surface with a steel wool ball, it doesn’t take too long to blanch and cook. It takes about [-] minutes. Added radish and winter melon too.

The winter melon is more ripe than the radish, so put it last, first add the white radish and cook for about ten minutes, then add the winter melon and cook for another five minutes. The time required for such a pot of cooking is only one hour and five minutes.

It's just that when boiling, there is no need to add salt, and the ingredients only need to add four red dates, a little ginger, and a little cooking wine.

The amber color is when a little more soy sauce was added at the beginning of the stew.

After boiling the trotters for [-] minutes, adjust the taste of the soup to see if you need to add salt to increase the base flavor. Generally speaking, it is not necessary, and it is usually just right.

At this time, the cured pig's trotters should be stewed just off the bone, but the meat is still tight and delicate, and the gelatinous skin has a soft tenderness after being baked and boiled, and you can also taste a little soft and crunchy special taste.

This is one of the reasons why Zhao Yougan chose to use cured pig's trotters as the main ingredient of cured meat hot pot.

After cooking at the right heat, the meat of the cured pig’s trotters has become soft and rotten, and the inner layer of fat is like a viscous sauce, but the outer layer still retains a special crunchy and soft taste due to smoked and dried. , this is also a kind of sour taste that the old gourmets like to pursue most.

The soft and tender lean meat turns into shredded meat little by little in the mouth, and it turns into meat paste during chewing, so you don’t have to worry about clogging your teeth at all, followed by a layer of extremely soft and sticky fat layer under the skin, which turns into sticky meat in your mouth. Thick sauce, and finally a thin layer of brown pork knuckle skin.

It's like biting off a layer of heart tube, but it's much thinner than the heart tube. The taste is simply addictive.

At least Nakiri Senzaemon was also amazed by the taste of this rare cured meat ingredient.

The wonderful experience of several tastes paralleling and merging in his mouth made him feel as if he had flown to heaven.

'The pig's trotters are already so amazing, how about the white radish and winter melon that are generally more colorful? '

Such a thought flashed in Nakiri Senzaemon's mind, and then his hand couldn't help it, and continued to reach out to the other ingredients in the bowl...

Chapter 89 One dish makes all the difference

Why do you say that white radish and winter melon are generally more colorful?

In fact, it is just a comparison. These two ingredients are relatively the least likely to be cooked poorly.

As long as it is fully cooked, it will naturally have a sweet taste, but this kind of sweetness has no tendency of its own, and can be applied to almost all dishes.

Therefore, after stewing, these seemingly inconspicuous ingredients often release their own sweet taste and at the same time absorb the taste of other ingredients. Such white radish or wax gourd will be filled with the aroma of various ingredients. It is said that it will be more surprising than the main ingredients.

But today, the cured pig's trotters are amazing enough, so Nakiri Senzaemon will pay more attention to the remaining two ingredients.

'suck~'

It felt as if he was sucking pudding or bone marrow. With just such a light suck, a piece of winter melon that had been stewed and almost disintegrated went down his throat and entered Nakiri Senzaemon's esophagus.

It looks like a liquid and has extremely soft and fine fibers. It is said to have a sense of presence, but it will completely disperse as soon as it is sucked.

The rich sweetness disperses in the throat, followed by the explosion of thicker soup base, and the deliciousness and sweetness of the smoky cured meat soar up in the mouth crazily.

It is even richer and more delicious than drinking the soup base of this hot pot directly!

His eyes lit up as if he was staring at something good. Senzaemon, the Demon King of the Eastern Sakura Food World, tasted the deliciousness of the winter melon, and then extended his chopsticks to the white radish.

Unlike the wax gourd, which is as soft as pudding, the white radish still maintains its shape, but it can be completely sunken even if you don't use much effort when you clamp it with chopsticks. Even if you lift the white radish, it seems to be It's like picking up a small cloth bag filled with water.

The heavy touch makes people unable to help showing a satisfied smile.

This is the case with Nakiri Senzaemon.

He hasn't tasted it yet, but just feeling the texture and smelling the fragrance of cured meat and white radish, he can't help the corner of his mouth curling up.

"This radish, you chose the right frost radish, and then removed the heart in the middle and the outer skin, leaving the softest and sweetest part, right?"

The origin of the ingredients in his hand was recognized at a glance, and the authority of the Demon King of Food was undoubtedly revealed.

Frosted radishes are actually a bit old, but because they are old, their sweetness is the strongest. Remove the heart of the radish that has been damaged by frost, and then remove some outer skin. One such radish is about About a quarter can be used, but the taste of this quarter is stronger than that of fresh tender radishes.

It is not suitable for cold salad, because the juice and taste of radish will be too strong, but it is the most suitable ingredient for stewing dishes!

Before Zhao Yougan could respond, Nakiri Senzaemon had already put the white radish into his mouth, a little bit of teeth collided, as if he was tasting the softest chiffon cake, just touching his upper and lower jaws, the white radish It all melted, and countless soups escaped.

There is not a trace of excess radish tendons, and it is full of the sweetness of radish, which makes people feel like drinking a sip of strong and mellow tea.

The light smoky taste is accompanied by sweetness, and the throat rhyme at the end has the sweetness unique to red dates.

"Okay!"
