"Teacher Qiao and Thomas both stepped forward to select ingredients. The strange thing is that the two professional chefs looked more nervous. Are they afraid that what they need will be taken away later?"
The two chefs nodded honestly.
Brother Nan sighed: "Ah! I was wondering whether Brother Hu was here to help or to cause trouble. When Chef Li saw Thomas taking away a tomato, he showed a painful expression. Oh, Teacher Qiao picked it up and dried it.
Shrimp, Chef Zhou stood up.
Hey, Teacher Qiao just picked a few shrimp heads, and Chef Zhou sat down with confidence. Thomas picked up the prawns again, and Chef Zhou stood up again..."
After the two people selected the materials and stood up, Wang Qian began to announce the last rule.
"You have 15 minutes to make this dish. If you ring the bell first, you will have priority to taste it. You two should introduce the dish you want to make first, although we all know it is instant noodles."
Lao Qiao spoke first: "What I want to make is spicy seafood ramen. First, I use kelp and shrimp heads, add some scallion oil and stir-fry, and finally add chili peppers and mix them into the cooked noodles."
Brother Nan tilted his head: "It sounds very simple."
Yoneko Jun complained: "It's just a bowl of instant noodles. How complicated do you think it is?"
Thomas picked up a tomato: "What I want to prepare is tomato and egg noodles."
Well... always concise and clear.
After the two people introduced each other, the host directly announced the start of the game.
A fifteen-minute countdown popped up on the huge screen at the back, and the two of them started to get busy. Maybe because they were nervous or not familiar with the kitchen utensils, they both looked a little flustered. Thomas even accidentally smashed the plate with a loud bang.
Wang Qian began to interview professional chefs: "Is there any secret to making instant noodles?"
Master Li opened his mouth and said, "Actually, it's hard to say. Everyone's taste is different. If you want to cook it, the key is to look at the ingredients you add.
However, there are two things I can remind the players in the next competition. The first is that after the noodles are cooked, it is recommended to rinse them with cold water, so that they will be more chewy and taste better in the end.
Besides, aren’t we competing, the one who is faster will have an advantage.”
Brother Nan interjected: "Are you afraid that if you are full, you won't be able to taste the food later?"
"It's not because of this, but if the noodles are soaked in the soup for too long, they will swell, which will not taste good, and friends who like soup will be disappointed."
Brother Nan shouted, "Thomas obviously heard the chef's advice and moved faster. Look, he accidentally dropped another egg on the floor. He rushed to the refrigerator to get it again. Master Li was not happy."
Compared to Thomas' panic, Lao Qiao was obviously much calmer. He cooked every day and appeared on many programs. He was used to facing the camera and was slowly chopping green onions in his hand.
Wang Qian started to ask: "What is Teacher Qiao doing now?"
"To make scallion oil, every family can make it by themselves. First cut the scallions into small pieces and put oil in the pot. You don't need too much, otherwise the aroma will be diluted."
Lao Qiao said as he put the chopped green onions into the pot.
"The oil temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will burn before the aroma comes out. Just simmer it slowly over low heat. Because kelp itself has a salty taste, boil it with water first, then rinse it with cold water and cut it into small pieces for later use.
.
Crush the shrimp heads, add them to the pot and stir-fry for a while with the green onions."
The studio was filled with fragrance, and Hu Shuai's eyes widened: "It really smells like seafood, isn't there just a few shrimp heads?"
Brother Nan is watching the excitement and is not afraid of trouble: "Mr. Thomas, Teacher Qiao has already won one step ahead. Come on, let's fry the eggs to make the ribs taste better."
Wang Qian looked at the time: "Normally the last 5 minutes of the program are when the MC comes forward to taste it in advance, but because it is instant noodles, we will advance it today. Xiaonan, you go and have a look first."
Brother Nan agreed and came to the two of them with a handheld camera.
"Wow! Teacher Qiao has already put the chopped kelp in, but the fragrance is still very strong. Let me taste it first." He took half a spoonful from the pot with a small spoon and put it into his mouth.
"How about it? Can you taste the seafood? Wang Qian shouted from the opposite side.
Brother Nan made an exaggerated expression: "I feel the sea is setting off huge waves in my mouth. It's really fragrant. The ingredients are obviously very simple, but it's really delicious."
Hearing Brother Nan's statement, everyone's eyes widened, especially Hu Shuai, who couldn't wait to try it.
At this time, the camera gave Thomas a close-up. After sneaking a few glances to the side, he moved faster with his hands.
Wang Qian's eyes were sharp: "Does Thomas feel pressure?"
He nodded honestly.
"Is there any good way?"
"Yeah! Chef Li just said that the noodles should be eaten quickly, so I decided to win with speed."
Brother Nan struck from the side: "Teacher Qiao has already started to cook the noodles. You have just fried the eggs. Is it too late?" After saying this, he also tasted the taste with the spoon.
Wang Qian continued to ask loudly: "How does it taste?"
Brother Nan nodded and responded: "Yes, it tastes like eggs." Everyone laughed.
"It's just very ordinary scrambled eggs. I don't know if they are made with wood or not."
As long as it is a game, competition will begin. Not only the two on the field, but also other MCs and guests are all staring intently. Jiang Xinying even crossed his hands, and the knuckles he pinched were a little white without knowing it.
Finally, Lao Qiao finished ahead of schedule and rang the bell in front of him. Thomas was not far behind and followed suit.
Two steaming noodles slid along the track in the middle of the table towards the host.
Wang Qian was not in a hurry to let the guests try the food: "Hu Shuai, how do you feel?"
"Although I wasn't on top, I was still very nervous watching it, and I felt an inexplicable expectation in my heart. To be honest, when the egg fell just now, my heart seemed to be broken."
Wang Qian expressed that he was very satisfied with this answer, and turned to the two chefs: "How about experiencing this kind of competition for the first time? Tell me your thoughts."
Old Qiao started to answer, and after chatting for a while, Thomas on the side suddenly shouted: "Don't ask, the noodles are about to be pounded, and mine is still in the back, so I won't be able to eat it later."
Brother Nan suddenly jumped out: "Ha, damn it, our delaying tactics have been discovered, so we can do anything, let's get started."
Hu Shuai was more active and took it over himself.
I smelled it first: "It smells so good! It smells really good. I can't help but eat it."
Lao Qiao quickly reminded: "Just mix in the vegetable code on the noodles."
Hu Shuai obediently picked up the chopsticks and started moving. Jiang Xinying was more anxious beside him: "Old Hu, take a sip of soup first."
"Huh~~~ha!"
"How is it, how is it?"
Hu Shuai didn't answer, he raised his chopsticks and began to eat the noodles with a slurp. He was so anxious and fast that the people watching him unconsciously leaned over.
Wang Qian couldn't stand it any longer, so he touched Hu Shuai a little and saw that his cheeks were bulging.
"Don't worry, no one will compete with you. This is a variety show. Don't just eat and talk. If you work so hard, the audience will think you are acting."
Brother Hu swallowed the food in his mouth: "No, no, no, I didn't eat much in the morning, so I was a little hungry, but this noodles is really delicious. I even tasted the crab and abalone in it."
Jiang Xinying curled her lips: "Is it that exaggerated?"
Thomas said weakly: "Brother Hu, don't hold back, you haven't tasted mine yet."
Hu Shuai reluctantly put down his chopsticks and took the red tomato noodles. He just took a bite and was stunned.
Brother Nan made a fuss: "What, do you want to bring a bucket over?"
Hu Shuai shook his head and started eating again.
Wang Qian was surprised: "Are all our anchors so good?"
