Morey held the wine glass and watched Zhao Youqian's actions on the screen, and for a moment he even forgot about drinking.
He is also close to the peak of Long Chef Lin Chu, and naturally has a heart to pursue the art of cooking. However, as he has been wasting his time over the years and has no desire to work hard, it has gradually become superficial.
Now that he saw Zhao Youqian's cooking, even he wanted to try it out. You can know how shocked Zhao Youqian's food was to the whole of West America.
Nakamura Ji, Mandalay, and many Lin chefs who came after hearing the news all looked at the dish that Zhao You cooked, with strong interest in their eyes.
What's more, he even called someone directly to prepare some ingredients so that he could try it out later.
The idea of using extreme temperature differences to create strange-tasting delicacies is not something no one has thought of, but how to maintain the balance between the two still makes many people fail.
Until Zhao Youqian showed what seemed to be a completed dish...his own 'Bingfeng Shiquan Roast'!
...
Unlike those chefs who already knew they had failed when they saw Zhao Youqian's cooking, Xiao Hua was also confident in his own cooking, and could even be said to be ambitious.
He didn't believe that his cooking would lose to Zhao Youqian.
Even if Zhao Youqian has shown an extremely amazing level, it is the same!
This is his absolute confidence in his cooking!!
'Don't worry, let that yellow-skinned little guy be proud for a while while my food comes out...'
'They know what the pinnacle of barbecue is!'
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, Xiao Hua's barbecue dish was at the last moment, and he even wished that Zhao Youqian served it first, so that his strong Texas-style barbecue could show its strong side.
The fortress of aftertaste that Zhao Youqian left on the judges' tongues was completely destroyed!
'I will make you lose so much that you have nothing to say...'
Looking at the frozen roasted calf that had not shown any trace of aroma until now, Xiao Hua's eyes were filled with calmness, and then he turned his head and continued to look at his cooking iron box.
...
The five judges, Food Editor-in-Chief Sylvan, IGO West American Division Director Bilson, Yaozhou Lin Chef Li Wenbo, IGO Supervisor Farrell and French Lin Chef Bellvin, looked at it in front of them, and it seemed that there were no traces of cutting. The frozen steamed beef looked surprised.
"Is this the finished product?"
Li Wenbo was a little excited, but he knew why Zhao Youqian served the dish like this. For Shiquan roast, it would be a failure to be on the diners' table for even one second every night, so it is normal for this kind of roast to be served as a whole.
However, what is usually served are hot ingredients, so the cold barbecue is simply unique.
"Yes, this is my Bingfeng Shiquanbao!"
Following Zhao Youqian's words, the cutting knife he carried also began to cut open the calf that was made of ice.
The sound was as light as nothing, like someone stepping on the snow.
Then there was the sound of countless ice cubes breaking.
‘click’
Under the avalanche of ice and snow all over the sky, what appeared on the plates of the five judges were thin layers of calf epidermis with crystal glitter.
And when the sky was full of wind and snow, Zhao Youqian also sprinkled a handful of the same snow-white ice crystal particles at the right time.
"Please try the first taste of Shiquanbao, the appetizing ice-fire crispy skin!"
It is rare for Zhao Youqian to introduce his own cuisine, because he knows that the judges may not know the most appropriate way to eat this brand-new dish he designed.
I don’t know exactly how to do it, so it’s best to do it yourself.
Li Wenbo, on the other hand, nodded.
"This should be similar to Imperial Roast Duck or Guangdong Roast Suckling Pig Skin. Eat it with sugar, right?"
Pointing to the white particles sprinkled on the frozen crispy skin, Zhao Youqian nodded at Li Wenbo's words.
Then they started to taste the so-called first taste...
When the ice layer wrapped in the crispy brownish-reddish brown skin entered the judges' mouths and tongues, the thin ice layer was instantly melted by the temperature in the mouth, and the crisp taste directly made the five judges look surprised.
Then the smells of ice and fire burst out at the same time, and only then did they understand why this dish was called 'ice and fire crispy skin'.
Not only is the taste different from hot and cold, but the texture is also the same.
The thin layer of ice and the melt-in-your-mouth crispy skin below also represent the extremes of ice and fire.
After exerting different crispness in the mouth, the baked outer skin, which is full of flame flavor, will be melted by the little bit of temperature in the mouth, and the ice layer and the last little bits of sugar that emerge will turn into a flavor in the mouth. Wang soup.
It gives people an extremely rich and satisfying feeling.
Even the mouths of several judges slowly emitted a faint golden light at this time, which meant that the dish was completed at this time.
While the five judges were enjoying themselves, Zhao Youqian had already cut open the calf from the abdomen with the ice layer removed.
He took out the lamb and suckling pig inside, cut off the legs of the lamb and suckling pig, and placed them on the judges' plates.
At this time, the audience could see that even though the outside had been frozen for more than forty minutes, the lamb and even the suckling pig inside were still steaming, as if they were not affected by the cooling at all.
"Is it the effect of butter?"
Breaking away from the shocking texture and taste in his mouth, and looking at the two large pieces of meat laid out in front of him, Belwin was not in a hurry to taste them directly. Instead, he introduced why Zhao Youqian could maintain the temperature so well.
“The extremely rapid heating makes the outer skin hard and tight, and seals the juice and fat of the cow in the outer layer, and finally the extremely rapid freezing makes the fat solidify, so that the inside is like an insulated barrel, but it is cooking at a low temperature. All the ingredients make them more filled with delicious gravy..."
Belvin did not wait for Zhao Youqian to explain, but analyzed the principle himself, which also showed Linchu's superior vision.
"But the taste of these two meat dishes is not as good as expected..."
“The essence of Shiquanbao should be the last ingredient!”
However, after saying that it was not that delicious, Belwin's hand did not stop, and he cut off some of the two kinds of meat and put it into his mouth.
Then he looked at Zhao Youqian with a surprised expression. Even though he was handling the lion-head goose and other poultry inside, he still couldn't stop him from showing an extremely shocked expression.
"Why...why is there such a strong meaty smell?!"
At this time, Li Wenbo, the chef from Yaozhou, finally wanted to speak.
Even though they knew that Zhao Youqian was great, they didn't expect that Zhao Youqian could actually restore Shiquanbao.
If the other ingredients are just supporting roles for the last ingredient, how can this dish be called Shiquanbao?
Real barbecue means that all the ingredients are of the highest quality and the barbecue is perfect!
