Frowning and hearing the chewing sound of Jiucou Luyuan, Fengjian Xuezhi showed a hint of displeasure.
For this kind of hard food, Kazama Xuezhi has never been too fond of it, especially if you need to spit out the bones...
But she was really curious about what kind of taste could make a special chef so addicted. She used chopsticks to pick out various ingredients and put them into her spoon. Then she slowly put them into her mouth, while the others
Several people, including the high priest and Kirisenzaemon, had already begun to enjoy the strange pleasure brought by this dish!
The moment the diced chicken and chili pepper entered the mouth, Fengjian Xuezhi's eyebrows moved, and the chair she sat on was unconsciously covered with a layer of frost.
Crisp, crisp, crisp!
Until the fourth bite, it was still crispy. It was not as crispy as chewing a brittle bone, but like biting into a butter biscuit, with a perfect crispy feeling that left your mouth full of crumbs after one bite.
The fried peppers themselves have a special aroma of oil and paste, and also have an extremely subtle crispness. But after this crispness, there is another crispness that appears when paired with diced chicken.
The double crispiness inside made Kazama Seizhi addicted to this unique food texture.
And when she recovered from this special taste, all the ingredients in her mouth had disappeared!
What appeared instead was a rich aroma that stimulated her saliva, so that she didn't even feel the slightest taste or greasiness. Instead, there was a refreshing sweetness.
Even she couldn't be sure of the identity of that smell!
Unlike several others, Fengjian Xuezhi did not start tasting again, but looked at Zhao Youqian.
"Your creativity amazes me!"
Hearing the judges' praise, Zhao Youqian bowed slightly in return.
"The crispy chili has a double crispness, and the triple-fried diced chicken also has a double crispness. What's even more amazing is that you managed to make it crispy but not dry!"
"I guessed correctly that this dish of yours incorporates a little bit of the concept of fried chicken, right?"
Crispy chicken, this is a very famous Yaozhou dish. The marinated chicken is constantly poured with oil. It is famous for its crispy skin and crispy bones.
Zhao Youqian's improved version of Suzaku Flame is completely different from fried chicken, but the crispiness of the bones is very similar to fried chicken. That's why Fengjian Xuezhi said that Zhao Youqian combined the concept of fried chicken to make this dish.
Dishes.
"Similar but also different."
Zhao Youqian spoke slowly.
"The Suzaku Flames originally required the strong chicken of Kyoto Fighting Chicken and the rich juice to achieve a balance of taste, and the strong chili peppers competed with the strong deliciousness of the chicken."
"But Kyoto fighting chicken is not always available, so I modified this dish and reduced the spiciness. The peppers used are not very spicy, but have different aromas. This time I used the aroma of peppers to compete with the excitement of the chicken.
aroma."
"So I re-fry it three times to extract as much moisture as possible from the chicken. The gravy will be completely integrated into the chicken, and the aroma of the chicken itself will be maximized."
"The constant collision of four layers of crispy texture will allow diners to chew the mixed chili pepper and chicken, and let the aroma and taste blend together. This is the improved Suzaku Flame!"
“As for the double crunch of the peppers…”
Unexpectedly, Fengjian Xuezhi didn't notice her little thoughts, and Zhao Youqian also gave an explanation.
"A popular Guizhou snack in Yaozhou is called Chili Crisp. After the chili peppers are wrapped in flour and fried, the crispy texture will appear in two ways when you taste it directly. I took that as inspiration and sprinkled some flour on the inner wall of the chili peppers. That’s all.”
Fengjian Xuezhi nodded unexpectedly.
"I see..."
She stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a chili segment. As expected, there was a layer of white powder inside that had expanded after being fried.
"No wonder I tasted the double crispy taste of chili peppers, but I still couldn't find any trace of other supporting roles in the chili peppers."
Putting down her chopsticks, Fengjian Xuezhi gave her own evaluation.
"This dish is qualified here!"
Jiuzou Luyuan, who woke up at this time, also wiped his face quickly.
"I also agree to pass!"
"I have no objection..."
The high priest got another spoonful of diced chicken and chili peppers and put them into the basin. He seemed to like this dish very much and smiled.
And De Fenglei, who wanted to cause trouble, just drew a flash of lightning on his fingertips and spoke in a low voice.
"I also agree that I am qualified."
Naturally, Kirisenzaemon would not object, so the second dish also passed the test.
It's just that at this time, many people in the Ten Heroes Observation Room's eyes became more serious. Not counting the braised bamboo shoots at the end, this steamed turtle and lamb dish was the most dangerous.
Because... I have just tasted the spiciness on my tongue. No matter whether Zhao Youqian has really reduced the spiciness or not, whether he can still be keenly aware of the most amazing aspect of a rich dish or not, he will still be overwhelmed by the last dish in his mouth. Vegetables destroyed.
This is all key!
Only Kiri Erina is the old god, and no one knows Zhao Youqian's mastery of spicy food better than her.
In Zhao Youqian's hands, spiciness will not only not be an obstacle, but also become a helper to bring out the peak flavor in the next dish. This is also Zhao Youqian's in-depth and progressive thinking on the question of fusion, the fusion of dishes. !
White mist shrouded the scene, and at the moment the clay pot for steaming turtles and sheep was opened, a faint dragon roar sounded.
The golden light shone out, causing several judges who wanted to taste this dish to pause.
The light reddish-brown turtle and tender yellow mutton are in perfect proportion to each other. The rich soup seems to have been specially smeared on the two ingredients.
The aroma spread out, and even the students who had been awakened to their rationality couldn't help but stir up a commotion.
"It smells so good~~ah!"
"I'm hungry, so hungry, so hungry!"
"Oh my God, what kind of aroma is this?"
The sounds came one after another, even affecting the Ten Elite Observation Room.
The petite fourth Xi Kubomomo's face turned red because everyone heard the sound of 'gulu gulu' coming from her body.
The rich aroma wafted into the observation room of the Ten Heroes, awakening the little beauty's appetite.
However, the other ten heroes present did not make a sound, and their eyes were still looking at the scene on the stage. Zhao Youqian's cooking review had reached this stage. As long as he passed the review of this dish, all he had left was the last braised bamboo shoots. Can pass this three-star Yue assessment that has never been successfully challenged in the history of Dongying.
When they thought of this, many people present couldn't help showing various expressions.
Some are happy, some are eager to try, some are thinking, and some are frowning and dissatisfied.
It's just that they are all suppressing themselves in the same way and cannot make the sound of their stomachs growling with hunger.
