Gourmet Beast Tamer

After presenting the dishes, Zhang Chen returned to his seat and introduced his own dishes.

"I used beef brisket and pork ham for this one. It is well known that beef brisket has a loose tissue structure and there are many gaps inside. I cut the pork ham into thin strips along the texture and filled these gaps one by one."

"That's how the dish got its name."

“The specially treated beef brisket is put through subsequent multiple cooking processes, and the final dish has the taste of both pork and beef.”

"Pork hind leg meat has a lower fat content, so it doesn't taste tender enough, but it is fused with the beef brisket, allowing it to fully absorb the fat in the beef brisket, completely changing its taste and texture."

“As a result, the beef brisket has more layers in cooking, and the flavor has risen to a higher level.”

“In addition to this dish there is…”

Zhang Chen obviously had a draft in mind, and his expression and tone were perfect when introducing it now.

Along with his introduction, close-ups of eleven recommenders tasting the dishes were also shown on the big screen.

This meticulous detail is displayed in the eyes of every audience on an ultra-high-definition electronic screen.

It looked like a whole piece of beef brisket, but after cutting it, you could see a lot of strange dishes with snowflake-like textures from the cross section, which made countless exclamations appear in the audience.

This snowflake texture is like the snowflake pattern that comes with high-grade beef, but its essence is the thin shreds of pork that are different in color from the beef after cooking.

The pork shank is hidden in the meaty crevices of the beef brisket, and this delicate cooking is amazing.

Hearing the exclamations from the audience, Zhang Chen's eyes became more joyful.

He felt he was very close to victory.

After a while, the eleven recommenders finished tasting, and his introduction ended appropriately.

The host on the side walked out quickly with a smile on his face, "According to the information from the competition, contestant Zhang Chen received a total of three first-level food recommendation badges in Dongxia City, namely the gray feather badge, the deer antler badge and the fish scale badge. "

"Please recommend the food recommenders Ms. Zhang Ting, Mr. Liu Yunju and Mr. Zhou Qing to comment on contestant Zhang Chen's dish today!"

This is a unique part of the knockout round, and the four players in the previous two knockout rounds also experienced it.

The food recommender who awards the badge, as the person who qualifies the contestant, knows the contestant’s cooking skills best and can naturally make a more specific judgment.

Zhang Chen clenched his hands slightly and looked at the three recommenders who had recognized him and awarded him badges. The process of obtaining the badges from the three recommenders flashed through his mind.

Among the three food recommenders, Mr. Zhou Qing was the most severe. It took Zhang Chen two attempts before he finally passed, and the other person believed that his cooking skills needed to be further improved.

Mr. Liu Yunju is well-known for his good temper. Although his test involves cooking with wild ingredients that are relatively unpopular, he will patiently give pointers so that those being tested can learn something.

Ms. Zhang Ting is known to have a weird temper and is difficult to get along with. Fortunately, the poultry subject that the other party inspected was Zhang Chen's specialty, so she only went through one assessment and successfully obtained the Gray Feather Badge.

The three food recommenders each have their own characteristics, and I don’t know what kind of evaluation they will give to their own exploits.

"Let me talk first." Ms. Zhang Ting is a short-haired woman with sharp facial features. She looked at the people in front of her who had finished tasting, and then looked at the player in front of her who still had some impressions of her.

"Compared with the dish you made when you passed my test before, this dish has a lot of improvement in seasoning, but I think if you replace the pork hind legs with chicken legs, this dish will be even better. "

As soon as these words came out, the other food recommenders suddenly looked a little weird.

It is said that Ms. Zhang Ting was chased by chickens and cried when she was a child, and she has been very interested in poultry ingredients ever since.

I don't know if this is hate or love.

"Let me tell you a few words." Liu Yunju adjusted his glasses and showed his signature warm smile. "This dish is very creative. I have never heard of such a method. Did you create it yourself?"

"Yes, this is a dish I created based on the existing ingredients in No. 97 Ingredients Library." Zhang Chen nodded with a smile.

"It's a very interesting dish. It's difficult to cook, but the taste is worthy of the difficulty." Liu Yunju gave his own evaluation.

It was Zhou Qing's turn to comment, sitting on the other side.

"If I remember correctly..." Zhou Qing looked at Zhang Chen calmly, "You passed my test a year ago. At that time, I said that your cooking skills need to be improved, but you are just barely worthy of the fish scale badge. "

"Yes, I will keep Mr. Zhou Qing's teachings in mind." Zhang Chen looked sincere.

"One year has passed now." Zhou Qing looked at the food in front of him that had been eaten, "You have made greater progress than I thought."

Hearing Zhou Qing's comments, Zhang Chen looked surprised.

Although Zhou Qing did not give any specific evaluation of this dish, the sentence "the progress is greater than imagined" is enough!

"The three food recommenders have already reviewed this dish. Contestant Qin Lang has not yet left the competitive standard kitchen. Let's wait and see what dishes he will bring us!" the host said loudly.

For a moment, countless eyes gathered in front of the kitchen where Qin Lang was.

…

In the competitive standard kitchen, Qin Lang has completed all the shredding work of tofu, cut rapeseed and carrots into thin strips close to shredded tofu, and shredded them in hot water.

The soup being cooked on the side is almost done.

Turn off the heat and bring the pot to a boil, remove the ingredients and add the minced pork ham in batches. When the minced meat is cooked and floating on the top of the soup, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove it. What is left is a pot of clear chicken broth. .

He scooped it up with a small spoon and tasted it. Qin Lang nodded with satisfaction.

Although due to the limitations of the ingredients, this pot of soup does not appear to be that authentic, the final effect is not much different from the chicken broth he is familiar with.

It's just right to use it as the soup base for Wensi tofu.

Put the chicken broth into the pot, heat it over low heat until it reaches the pre-boiling state, add the watery starch mixed with cornstarch in batches, stir gently with a spoon while adding.

If you want Wensi Tofu to appear at its best, thickening is essential.

If the soup is not thick enough, the tofu shreds and vegetable shreds will sink to the bottom, affecting the appearance. If it is too thick, it will affect the taste.

This degree requires experience to measure.

Add the shredded tofu and shredded vegetables that have been drained of water, and use the back of a spoon to press against the surface of the soup in the pot and keep swirling, so that the shredded tofu and shredded vegetables are wrapped in the soup and completely separated.

When the heat is mature, pour the Wensi tofu into the soup cups that have been blanched in advance.

"alright!"

Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief and realized that while he was concentrating on cooking, Zhang Chen's cooking had already been completed.

"Let's go, it's time for us to play."

"Gudu!"

Dan Bao nodded seriously, his face full of burning fighting spirit.
