Food That Doesn't Glow is Not Good Food

During the whole process, Xie Yunfei didn't speak, he didn't even care that the table across from him was already full of people, he just kept accelerating and accelerating.

Two minutes after the rice ball was cut open, Xie Yunfei finished inspecting the tin ball.Without wasting time, he fetched the wok with the remaining soup, dipped some on the surface of the tin ball with a brush, put the tin ball back into a rice ball, and covered it with another, Press firmly.

It wasn't until this step was completed that Xie Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief.Temporarily withdrawing from his self-world, he raised his head and glanced at the people standing by the kitchen table, with the corners of his mouth curled up to the sides, "The next step is to bake."

Leaving aside risotto dishes, there are actually two ways to talk about crispy rice dishes. One is deep-frying, which is the most common method in restaurants. Mix the steamed rice and starch according to a certain ratio, and then put it into the oil pan. The second one is born out of the most primitive version of baking, or put it in the oven, or put it directly on the fire.

Like Kadozaki Taki, Xie Yunfei chose the latter method.However, unlike Taki Kadozaki, the method used by Xie Yunfei is not to put an iron ball kitchen utensil in the middle, but to use a steel needle to pass through the rice ball and tin ball, and bake it directly on the fire.

There are also requirements for the angle at which the steel needle penetrates. It cannot be the dividing line between two rice balls, but must pass through the two rice balls at the same time. There must be more than three steel needles interlaced with each other and with a large interlaced angle.

After finishing the penetration of the steel needles, Xie Yunfei lit the coals prepared by the cooks and put them under the grill. He held the three steel needles in his right hand and controlled the rotation of the rice balls with his left hand.

The smell of saffron and rosemary constantly overflows from the surface of the rice balls.

Xiaoyun sniffed her nose, with an intoxicated expression on her face, "It smells so good."

"Indeed." Feifei nodded, but her expression was a little strange.

Unlike Taki Kadozaki's whole process of cooking in the dark, Xie Yunfei's second half of cooking can be said to be completely under the covers.Although doing so strengthens the control of the heat, but relatively, the flavor of the spices in the rice may slip away a little during the cooking process.

Xiaoyun didn't see this, but Feifei did.If it were her, she seemed to have no other choice if she wanted to achieve the uniformity of the temperature of the rice grains as much as possible.

As for Xie Yunfei...

The baking process continues.

Tin foil conducts heat better than iron, in fact.At this time, after heating, the temperature of each part of the solder ball inside the rice ball is almost the same.In other words, the rice that is in contact with the surface of the tin ball has the greatest balance in terms of heat.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

About five minutes later, Xie Yunfei suddenly raised his head and said to Xiaoyun who was standing by the kitchen counter, "Xiaoyun, come and take over."

"Eh?" Xiaoyun was taken aback when she heard that, but then she nodded her head vigorously, "Okay!" While speaking, she glanced at Feifei who was standing beside her.

Xiaoyun quickly cleared her hands, asked for an apron from the kitchen helper, put it on, and then went to her cousin's side to take over the work in hand.While twirling the rice balls on the steel needle, or crispy rice balls, he looked at Xie Yunfei.

"How long will this be baked?"

"Well... five minutes."

While answering, Xie Yunfei walked to the stove. There was a wok on the stove, which contained the leftover soup from the previous use.

Turn on the stove and heat the soup.Take tiger prawns, cut squid, and clams spit out sand. When the soup is boiled, add tiger prawns, squid slices and clams, add water starch to thicken, and cook over high heat to collect the juice!

Chapter 254

At the kitchen counter, Kadozaki Taki frowned again.

If Xie Yunfei's initial cooking method had something in common with her paella balls, then from the second half onwards, the young man in front of him flew towards another direction that was completely different from his own.

In Western cooking, although there is also a method of using butter or cream to thicken the soup, it is not the same as thickening in Chinese food.Taki Kadozaki can be quite sure that even if Xie Yunfei's cooking has something to learn from seafood risotto, its real core is Chinese cuisine.

At least, Kakuzaki Taki would never specially make toppings when making risotto dishes, and it was such a thick topping.

In fact, not only Kadozaki Taki, but also Feifei, Tang Xin, and even the cooking helpers beside him all had similar expressions on their faces at this moment.

Xiaoyun has already gotten used to it, and she muttered softly while fumbling with rice crust balls, "Brother's cooking is always so unexpected."

"Is there?" Xie Yunfei raised his head blankly, seeing that Feifei, Tang Xin and even Azusa Chuan Yuenai were nodding their heads after hearing the words, and couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Forget it, surprises are unexpected." He said so, Turning his gaze to Feifei who was standing not far away, "Come and help me watch the fire."

"Eh?!" Feifei hadn't responded yet, but Xiaoyun on the side jumped up first.With her right hand constantly rotating the steel needle, she raised her left hand, first pointing at Tang Xin who was in the theater watching mode, then pointing her fingertips at herself, and finally pointing at Feifei who was about to run to wash her hands. "Brother, let me tell you, you will be beaten to death sooner or later."

Xie Yunfei showed a puzzled expression, but to his surprise, Tang Xin, Feifei, and Azusagawa Tsukino agreed with Xiaoyun's remarks.

"Ha...whatever." Xie Yunfei sighed, handed over the work of thickening the corn to Feifei, and then ran to Xiaoyun's side.

At this time, it was just five minutes since Xiaoyun took over the job of baking the crispy rice balls.

Originally, the surface was just light yellow crispy balls, but now it has turned into a very attractive golden yellow color as Xie Yunfei and Xiaoyun continued to rotate the steel needles that entered it. In many places, crackling can even be faintly heard. sound.

"In that case, it's almost there."

Xie Yunfei took the crispy ball from Xiaoyun's hand, and it was not too hot, so he pulled out the three steel needles directly, then covered the left and right sides of the crispy ball with both hands, and exerted a little force with both hands.

--Snapped!

The rice cracker ball is split from the middle, revealing the tin ball embedded in it.

Because the [Precise] skill was turned on, Xie Yunfei could clearly feel the weight of the solder ball increase a little when taking out the solder ball. After the holes on the surface flow into the cloth ball layer located on the innermost side of the solder ball, they are adsorbed by the surface of the cloth ball and condense together to form small drops of water.

The hole where the tin ball and the cloth ball are connected is in the shape of a hole as a whole, and it is not easy for water droplets to flow back.At least, the inner wall of the crispy rice ball at this time, compared with before, the hardness of the rice has risen several steps, and the surface does not look soft at all, it is exactly the same thing as the outer wall of the rice crust.

After a brief inspection of the internal situation, Xie Yunfei nodded his head in satisfaction, smeared egg white on the edges of the two crispy rice balls, then glued the two together again, followed the holes left on the surface of the crispy rice balls, and threaded them again. Steel pin, place on the grill and heat slightly along the edges of the egg whites to set completely.

At this point, the crispy ball part is complete!

Putting the crispy rice balls into the prepared round soup bowl, Xie Yunfei turned his head and looked at Feifei who was standing by the stove.

Feifei understood, scooped out a spoonful of seafood soup topping from the wok, poured it into a small bowl, and handed it to Xie Yunfei.

"And then, the last step!"

Xie Yunfei took the small bowl with a hint of excitement in his tone.While speaking, he moved the small bowl to the soup bowl, to be exact, above the rice crust ball, and then slowly tilted it.

In the hall, at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on understanding Yunfei.It's just that Xiaoyun, Feifei and the others are looking forward to it, while Kadozaki Taki and the help cooks are just paying attention.

The slightly thick golden liquid, mixed with all kinds of seafood, was poured on the crispy rice balls, making a "squeaky" sound.
