It was like a live fish flashing away in the flames. Zhang Xiaofan thought he was dazzled and wiped his eyes. Only when he didn't see the shadow again did he really think it was an illusion.
Only a few other regular customers looked at each other, which was obviously a special vision.
Generally speaking, not only the Golden Ray cuisine, but also the taste is amazing, exceeding the standard of Zhao Youqian's ordinary cuisine.
'Did Zhang Xiaofan bring the ingredients? It seems that the ingredients they have are not simple...'
First of all, the smoked fish prepared by grilling has a color that is obviously different from ordinary fish dishes, as if it has been marinated. The burnt yellow and slightly reddish luster is particularly attractive.
If you are a wine drinker, you may be unable to bear it anymore and will need two more glasses of wine to quench your thirst.
And the last layer of white wine sprinkled on it quickly emits an alluring aroma after burning.
After removing most of the irritating alcohol, what remains is the purest and most intoxicating aroma of food.
“Try it and see!”
The fish on the plate were presented separately, and the four fish were specially cut into eight pieces. Except for Tanjiro and Nezuko, who both had one piece, everyone else shared a piece, leaving exactly two pieces, which can be saved for later. Diners come to taste it.
After all, the smoked fish cooked in this way actually becomes more and more flavorful the longer it is kept, the unique aroma of sugar and tea leaves.
It is an excellent cold dish.
Zhao Youqian is also trying this method this time to see if diners will accept it. In addition, this kind of fragile fish can also maintain more flavor by cooking it in this smoke-grilling method after being marinated in water.
By the way, it can also maintain the integrity of the fish and concentrate the umami flavor of the fish.
This is also the reason why the first dish Zhao Youqian gave to Professor Zhang Xiaofan was this kind of smoked fish. It can be eaten for a long time once completed, and it also allows those guys in Zhang Xiaofan's world to experience more what cooking skills from other worlds are like.
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Wesley, who has always had no sense of presence, will not be polite when he sees food being served. Even though he is a little confused about the fish steak in front of him, at least it is a fish with a large fish bone, and he can still handle it.
At this time, he had to envy the Orientals. For them, it was as if eating fish and spitting out tiny thorns was instinctive.
You must know that even if Wesley has been to Zhutian Xiaoguan several times, his body has been strengthened several times, and the power of his blood has been tapped deeper and deeper.
However, fish that eat a lot of thorns will still get stuck thorns, which is still an unexplainable situation.
It is incomprehensible to know that he has completely controlled the muscles of his throat and even hid a blade inside, but he still gets stuck when eating fish.
He has already learned how to use chopsticks. For Wesley, this wonderful tableware is indeed more civilized than knives and forks, and it can more perfectly taste the chef's dishes.
I saw him using his chopsticks to scrape off a piece of fish meat from the main spine.
The bright fish juice immediately flowed down, and only then did Wesley realize that despite the thick color on the surface, the fish meat inside was still delicate and white.
Such a strong contrast, coupled with the flowing fish juice, instantly enhanced his liking for this dish.
"This aroma..."
Shang Xiuxun was completely different from him. She did not destroy the whole meat. Instead, she looked through Zhao Yougan's incision and noticed the fresh and delicious feeling that was still retained inside the fish after being smoked and grilled.
But when she smelled it, she felt an even stronger delicious taste.
The faint caramel flavor is mixed with the aroma of tea leaves, and the delicious taste of grain and fish is also mixed in.
Just tasting the aroma of this dish made Shang Xiuxun look incredulous. There were several strong flavors in it, but they were fully integrated.
Nuliang Huadian also noticed the unusual aroma in the air, and finally put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks and reached for the fish fillet in front of him.
“This tastes like this!”
Wesley finally got the honor of being the first to taste it, but when the taste of the fish burst into his mouth, it directly overwhelmed all the taste of the fish he had eaten before.
"How can the rich deliciousness be so rich, but... why is the deliciousness of the fish at the end wrapped in a cold breath, making my brain calmer?!"
The voice of disbelief rang out, urging the few people present who were still awake to quickly take their chopsticks to their portions of fish.
Even Tony Stark recovered from the frenzy of researching Nezuko's blood. Looking at the fish pieces appearing in front of him, he directly put down his chopsticks to taste it.
As soon as it enters your mouth, a faint sweetness first spreads, followed by the bitterness of the tea leaves, and then turns into a sweet aftertaste. When you move your tongue again, the unique deliciousness of the sleepy fish begins to burst out.
Every bit of fish meat seems to be mixed with countless amounts of soup, and chewing it gently squeezes out more delicious fish juice.
But Zhang Xiaofan, who had tasted the fish meat before, became more and more incredible the more he tasted it.
"How is it possible? How could the fish meat taste like this? It's incredible, it's incredible!"
While feeling the fish meat in his mouth changing into strange postures, Zhang Xiaofan's mind seemed to see a fish breaking through the oppression in the depths of the pool.
Even though it looks soft, it can also explode with strength in the water.
Like a sword!
The fish meat that originally only needed a gentle touch of the tongue would fall apart, but after being marinated, smoked and grilled by Zhao Yougan, it actually had a tough texture and chewy texture, even though it could still easily break apart. Come, but it already has a chewy meaty texture, which also makes the umami flavor more concentrated.
Zhang Xiaofan broke away from the delicious taste of the fish and looked at Zhao Youqian, but when he saw the expectant look in his eyes, he suddenly lowered his head, tasted another mouthful of the fish meat, and then raised his head again.
"After marinating, the water-removed fish meat will shrink and the meat will become firmer. However, this alone is not enough. The fish meat also contains a rich layer of fat."
"So you used the method of smoking and grilling. High-temperature smoking and grilling without direct contact can keep the integrity of the fish, but it can also further force out the fat and water in the fish, creating a richer and more delicious taste. And tight flesh!”
"What's more important! When you do this, the fat will be smoked and melted, and it will become the fish soup that is everywhere in the fish meat and seems to be inexhaustible!"
The more Zhao Youqian listened, the more he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
In fact, his method is not complicated, and even a casual high-star cook in the food world can see the principle.
But for Zhang Xiaofan, who has not received complete cooking training, it is so easy to understand the reasons for his cooking techniques and find out why the food is delicious.
This can only be seen through pure talent.
'I was indeed right... If he were in the food world, he would at least have a chance to become the king!'
