Chapter 149 The showdown of oil residue meatballs!
Seeing what Lanster did, Zhao Youqian and Tan Fangti stopped their hands at the same time and looked over with a hint of surprise.
'I didn't expect that he would actually use a similar method...'
Before the thought flashed through their minds, their eyes had already met as they turned their heads, and suddenly they realized something!
‘Is he too?!’
Their eyes quickly turned away. Zhao Youqian and Tan Fangti each lowered their heads and began to process the ingredients. The difference was that they both showed a strange smile.
'It's getting more interesting!'
The fighting spirit in Zhao Youqian's eyes became more and more clear.
He likes to fuse various dishes from around the world. When he saw the topic of oil residue, he threw away many traditional Yaozhou methods, and the last thought came to his mind.
Exploding meatballs!
This form of snack is very popular both in the Eastern Alliance and Western and American continents, and the changes in the fillings and the texture levels of the meatballs can produce different flavors. For the dream ingredient needs, you only need to Meat is also acceptable.
That's why Zhao Youqian went on several hunts, catching several meat ingredients that he needed, and even the best partner for fried foods like frozen soda blueberries!
But Zhao Youqian didn't expect that besides him, Lanster and Tan Fangti seemed to have thought of going together.
Although the expressions are different, the core is the same. The oil residue is integrated into the meat filling in various ways to form a special flavor!
In similar food duels, the advantages and disadvantages are always direct and the difference is clear, so from this moment on, Zhao Youqian has already shown the state when facing the food halberd, extremely serious!
...
As the representative of Nishimei, Sato-kun is an old master. Among the cooking systems he learned, neither Tosakura nor Nishimei had many cooking methods related to oil residue, but it was enough for him.
And the dream ingredients he obtained happened to be suitable for several methods of using oil residue that he had mastered.
Unlike other people who either make main dishes or staple food, Sato-kun chooses to use desserts to bring out the characteristics of the examination question!
After all, in some places, mixing oil residue with sugar is also a delicious treat.
Most fried ingredients can be combined with sweetness, not to mention that the dream ingredient he found is an extremely special thing.
Tofu cheese!
A special plant fantasy ingredient, the fruit is just like natural bean curd, but once you taste it, the rich cheese flavor will occupy your mouth.
Paired with another dreamy ingredient, 'Blue Butterfly Berry', the two ingredients are already extremely delicious dessert partners without cooking. Once you make some adjustments, it will be perfect with the oil residue that Mr. Sato came up with, because As the only dessert dish, it can be said that Sato-kun’s chances of passing the test are almost certain!
Even if the Gourmet Club and IGO have a hostile relationship, being able to detect the flaws in the cooking test at a glance, take the initiative to fill them in and still comply with the test questions is enough to show that Sato-kun is excellent and will not do it intentionally even with his status as a winemaker. Stuck his pass.
At this time, Sato-kun was watching the movements of Zhao Youqian and Tan Fangti while making the food. When he noticed that they were making meatballs, he couldn't help but smile.
'It's so interesting to face each other directly. It turns out that watching them fight among themselves is the best choice!'
Even though he still harbored deep malice towards Zhao Youqian, Sato-kun did not continue to be distracted at this moment, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cooking.
Because at this moment his identity is...chef!
...
The amount of fantasy ingredients actually does not affect the final product of the dish.
As long as both parties use dream ingredients, the gap in cooking quality has actually been smoothed out.
So even though it seems that Tan Fangti only uses two kinds of dream ingredients, the cooking process is easier to handle. While Zhao Youqian was still processing other dream ingredients, he had already started to make the core of the dish... oil residue!
Carefully cut the fat and oily part of the ham and black pig's hind leg into thumb-sized cubes. Although it looks like the particles are slightly larger, once the fat is fried, the fat that comes out of these thumb-sized pieces of fat will be The dregs are just about the size of small soybeans.
Put the clean fat part directly into a large pot and heat it over low heat. Adding a small bowl of purified water is enough to fry the fat into golden and crispy oily residue.
During this free time, Tan Fangti began to process the pork part of the meatballs.
Obviously, the dish he made at this time has been revealed. It is one of the official dishes of the Tan family, the original Yangzhou braised lion head!
Using oil residue to replace the fat requires a lot of changes in the process of forming the lion's head. After all, pure lion's head does not add any flour to make it thick, it just relies on stirring and fat. of glue to give the lion's head its shape.
Black pig ham has a rich flavor and is even salty. It can be said that the leg meat is the most perfect natural ingredient. More importantly, there is no need to worry about the chewy texture that is difficult to eat like ham.
Even if you cut it directly and enjoy it, it has a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Therefore, Tan Fangti has to be more careful when handling this kind of food. Not only does he pay attention to speed when cutting, but he also fills the iron basin where the meat is mixed with ice cubes, fearing that the taste of ham and black pork will be affected by the mixing. Change is lost.
From time to time, put the mixing hand into ice water to cool it down to prevent the temperature of the meat filling from rising and destroying the juice and flavor of the meat.
No other auxiliary ingredients were added, only egg white, black pepper, ham and black pig shank meat with a fresh and salty taste. The fat part was almost completely removed, and after a long period of stirring and even beating, it was presented as It had a texture like crystal jelly, but it was the bright red color of pork, which made the audience at the venue couldn't help but take a few more glances.
After all, this kind of production method is probably very rare to see in other places except at the special examination site.
While whipping the pork stuffing, always pay attention to the low heat and slowly force out the fat residue of the ham and black pig.
No less than the flavor of the stock that has been simmered for a while, after the fat of the ham and black pig is fried out of the lard, a rich aroma of oil also begins to emit.
It's like seeing an old man cooking at home. Unforgettable scenes appear in my mind from time to time before I even taste the real taste.
Zhao Youqian's complexion changed slightly as the aroma in the air inadvertently brought back memories of nostalgia. He did not expect that Tan Fangti's cooking skills and cooking heart had reached this stage!
This is so close to touching Linyin’s culinary heart!
It's even higher than Zhao Youqian's cooking heart level after transformation once!
'It's really amazing...'
After glancing at Tan Fangti who was starting to scoop up the oil residue, Zhao Youqian's movements in his hands accelerated more and more. As he continued to remove the fat from the dolphin and beef, a rich and fragrant aroma of the original meat began to flow. Floating in the air.
It wasn't until this moment that anyone realized that the dream ingredients Zhao Youqian placed in front of him were also extraordinary characters!
