Dazzling Starlight

Ju Dashi laughed proudly when he heard this: "There is no way to catch up... No matter if it is the chef in front of you now, even if the chef from igo comes, the result will be the same. If you don't think about my general sense of smell No way! If other chefs cook the same way as I do...the balance between aroma and taste is bound to be disrupted.”

Muttering to himself, Ju Dashi set his eyes on Xi Yangxi, whose expression was still cold in front of him, and secretly said: This female chef in front of me... My spice mix, who can never break through this problem... definitely has no flaws!

After the three judges have completely judged Ju Daishi's cuisine, they finally turned their attention to the sunset western cuisine.

"Then next - it's your turn to try the dipping sauce of Xiyangxi Fried Pork." Tuowu Ross said, and his eyes fell on the dipping sauce made by Xiyangxi, but when he saw the dipping sauce, he was puzzled in his heart. up.

Compared to the dipping sauce just now, it's based on the dashi stock... The schisandra marinated in Japanese sake is accentuated, and what is the mild acidity and this mellow feeling?

"However, just try it and you'll understand, right?"

Chapter [-] Unexpected results?

After speaking, Toulos started to bite down on the fried bear meat dipped in the dipping sauce. The moment he ate it... This deliciousness exploded in his mouth like a super bomb! !

After a long time, Tuo Huluosi looked at the unfinished fried bear meat and said, "It's amazing... The secret of the deliciousness lies in [honey] and [wine vinegar]? A little sweetness can make the sauce especially rich. , and the sour taste can make the flavor extremely refreshing! Is this the reason for the deliciousness!?”

Xiyangxi didn't speak, and closed his eyes as a tacit approval of Tuowuluos's words.

On the other side, Ju Dashi heard this, his brows could not help frowning slightly, and he secretly said: It's not possible just like this... But it doesn't make sense.It's simply impossible to imagine such a strong aftertaste... There must be hidden elements in it, right?

Thinking of this, Ju Dashi closed his eyes and began to think. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise, "Yuan... That's what happened!! I [caramelized] the honey!"

[Caramelization] In the absence of amino compounds, when the heating temperature exceeds its melting point (above 135 ° C), the sugar will be dehydrated or degraded, and then further condensed to form a viscous dark brown product. The reaction is called the caramelization reaction.As a result of the caramelization reaction, two types of substances are generated: one is the dehydration polymerization product of sugar, commonly known as caramel or sauce, and the other is degradation products, mainly some volatile aldehydes, ketones, etc.They bring a pleasing color and flavor to food, but if not properly controlled, they can also have adverse effects on the product!

But the caramelization of Sunset West's sauce is so perfect!

"How on earth did this happen!?" Ju Dashi couldn't help asking.

Xi Yangxi made a rare opening to explain, but his tone was still cold.

"First slowly heat the honey to caramelize it...then add wine vinegar to melt and thicken it...In another pan, fry the garlic and minced onion until fragrant, then simmer with the schisandra, and finally add Season the bear meat stock with salt, and that's it." Xiyangxi explained lightly.

John Yimu also nodded, and said to himself: Besides...the degree of fit between bear meat and honey goes without saying... The reason why the high-grade food [bear meat] is so delicious is because it depends on the bear's ability to pass the bear's paw. Lick the honey, day after day... The mellowness of the honey continues to penetrate into the bear's paw. Although this is all a folklore, the deep connection between the bear and the honey can be imagined.

"What an amazing idea... Bear meat and honey as the base notes, through wine vinegar and caramelization, trigger a delicious [subtraction] and [emphasis]!" The purple-haired woman praised.

Ju Daishi's Fried Bear Meat is a masterpiece of beauty and delicacy, and the pan-fried items are overwhelmingly delicious.But after dipping in the sauce, it is obvious that the sunset is even better!

Kawashima Rei was also secretly nervous, seeing this, she couldn't help but announce: "Then, let's enter the judgment stage, please each of the three judges cast their valuable votes! The fried items and all the factors of the sauce are made. Evaluation...then which dish is the most delicious in bear meat?"

After saying this, the three judges unanimously raised the red chopsticks representing the sunset!Three to zero, Sunset West wins!

Ju Dashi, who was confident and did not take the sunset in his eyes, never expected the result to be like this...and it was three to zero?

"How...how is it possible! How could I lose..." Ju Dashi couldn't believe this fact and could not help but take a few steps back.

On the contrary, Xiyangxi's expression did not change from the moment he was declared victory, as if he had expected it for a long time.

Seeing Ju Dashi's lack of appearance, John Yimu couldn't help but say, "In terms of taste alone, the two sides are almost on the same level... But if you want to talk about the key elements of winning and losing, then it's about the dishes. [Persistence]!"

"Xiyangxi classmate, you're not adding ordinary honey to the sauce, right?" Yimu John turned to look at Xiyangxi and asked.

Ju Dashi was stunned for a moment, then came to an epiphany and said secretly: Indeed... the unique sugar content of this honey is very sweet and elegant, and it also releases a faint astringency. What is the true face of this honey?

Xiyang moved his lips and said lightly: "That's my secret [Huangbo honey]!"

【Huangbo honey】The nectar of the citrus tree [Huangbo] has a refreshing sweet fragrance and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Every year, depending on the climate and various plant growth conditions, it may not be collected. Therefore, this kind of honey is quite rare and precious. of……

"Other types of honey are also rich and mellow. Even if you use other honeys, you can highlight the unique flavor of bear meat, but..."

Yimu John's words changed and said: "This way, when the shocking power of ordinary honey and croquette overlap, it will become sticky! So what about changing the type of honey to [Huangbo honey]? The slightly bitter aftertaste of Phellodendron chinensis honey perfectly combines the proper benefits of bear meat. It can be called a miracle! Xiyangxi did not ignore the obvious shortcomings of honey, she pursued a deeper taste! "

Ju Daishi's forehead was covered in sweat upon hearing such a comment!

Although Ju Dashi can make the perfect spice for bear meat on the spot, he can never think of the perfect combination of honey and bear meat like Sunset West!Victory and defeat have been decided, and it is not necessary to continue here.

Xiyangxi returned to the players' rest area with a cold attitude... Ju Daishi was eliminated, which was something that Nakamura did not expect.

"That girl named 1.9 Sunset West... It's really not easy! The successor who is proficient in ancient cooking is really not easy... What a misstep!" Nakamura Hikari closed his eyes and couldn't help sighing.

The review of the third group was completed, and the cooking of the first group of the second group also entered the final finishing state.

The first group of Erina VS Akakubo Momo is a showdown of siomai. Both of them are steaming siomai in a steamer on the cooking table. They are steaming hot, but they have no way of knowing how to make siomai.

The second group is a salmon-themed showdown between Megumi Tiansuo VS Rentan Kobayashi.What Tansho Hui cooks is the Ishikari hot pot that he is good at... Salmon Ishikari hot pot, which can be said to be Tansuohui's best cooking.

Finally, when the time was approaching, both Tiansuohui and Kobayashi Rindo finished their cooking!

"Let's start, the second group of judges!"

Chapter [-] Tian's cooking

Salmon Ishikari Hot Pot is a common home-cooked dish in Japanese folk cuisine. The main ingredients are salmon, white radish, tofu and so on.

And what Tian Suohui and Kobayashi Rentan did in the showdown today is this dish...

"Hold... I'm sorry Rindo-senpai, I'll start the review one step ahead of you." Tian Suohui said and put the Ishikari pot she made in front of the three reviewers.

The lidded Ishikari pot made by Tiansuohui was placed in front of the three judges.

John Yimu couldn't help but stunned, and said secretly: Even if it is tightly covered with a lid, the aroma still enters the nostrils like this. If it is opened, isn't the aroma...

As he spoke, John Yimu lifted the lid, but at the moment when he opened the pot, a shallow white light appeared in the pot and disappeared soon...

First of all, an aroma that was stronger than before came to the nostrils, and this aroma impacted the body and mind of Imam John.In front of this fragrance, he only felt that his clothes had been taken off...a strong and fragrant smell.

After 30 years of insatiable aroma, there is a luxurious Ishikari pot with salmon as the main ingredient.First, floating on top of the clear and enticingly scented broth are salmon fillets.After removing the salmon, there are all kinds of wild vegetables scattered around... At the same time, there are red shrimp as embellishment.
