Dare to cook

Chapter 188 - The Five-Yuan Immortal Chicken

Shen Linxuan and Yao Yu are rivals, which is well known in the culinary world.

During the three years when Yao Yu retired, Shen Linxuan often taunted Yao Yu.

Shen Qiuming, Zhu Xingchen, Chu Huangyou, Ding Binghui and others also stood up for Yao Yu several times and confronted Shen Linxuan, and the two sides won each other.

As Shen Linxuan himself said, high cooking skills and high rankings do not necessarily mean invincibility.

Even though Shen Linxuan was fourth on the Jade Food List, Shen Qiuming and Zhu Xingchen had actually defeated him several times.

Especially Shen Qiuming.

The difference between his ranking and Shen Linxuan's is the smallest, and the duel between the two is almost a [-]-[-] situation.

Except for Lu Chenyu, Yao Yu, Wu Zhongliu, and Ling Zhaochi, there is actually not much difference in strength between the top ten of the Jade Food List.

In the battle zone, the chefs on the Jade Food List saw the two masters of the Shen family pinching each other, and they booed one after another:
"6666, just do it if you don't accept it, life and death are bearish, Shen Qiuming, I support you!"

"Shen Linxuan, it's not us who made trouble. We can't bear to let this matter happen to us, we must face it."

"That's right. It's just about time for the Jade Food List to change. You two have a fight and see which of you two is better at cooking."

Seeing this group of people getting more and more noisy, Lu Chenyu couldn't help frowning and said: "Okay, what's the noise! ​​Focus on watching the game."

As soon as the leader on the list spoke, the others immediately stopped making trouble.

However, someone also asked Lu Chenyu: "Do you think Yao Yu can win this time?"

Lu Chenyu didn't answer directly, but only said: "When Yao Yu and Chen Duanrui competed for dragon beard noodles, did you think he could win?"

As soon as this remark came out, the others fell silent for a while.

Chen Duanrui, who was sitting not far away, recalled that tragic failure. He felt like an arrow had been hit in his chest for no reason, and he roared crazily in his heart:

Isn't it discussing Yao Yu and Liu Xuanming?Why did it come to me.I, Chen Duanrui, don't want to lose face!

Leaving Chen Duanrui's inner monologue aside, all the players on the field were already cooking the five-yuan fairy chicken quickly.

Among the four challengers, apart from Yao Yu, the other three didn't know much about the five-element Immortal Chicken.

Yao Yu took the time to look at Misaka Mie and the others. Seeing that none of the chickens they selected were tender hens, he couldn't help but shake his head, thinking: They might all lose this round.

Misaka Mie is from Reben, so it's understandable that she doesn't know how to cook Hunan cuisine.

But Xing Jiawei and Shi Dong'an were able to choose the wrong ingredients for the Five Yuan Immortal Chicken. It can only be said that they are not yet qualified to be chefs on the Jade Food List.

On the stove opposite Yao Yu, Liu Xuanming was already in full swing and was processing various ingredients quickly.

As for Yao Yu, while activating the [hole like candlelight] skill, he analyzed Liu Xuanming's various techniques and cooking intentions, and optimized the operation based on his own understanding.

The recipe of Five Yuan Immortal Chicken is not complicated.

The first step is to blanch the three yellow chickens.

Put a sufficient amount of cold water in the pot, cut off the head, feet, and buttocks of the cleaned chicken, and put it in the pot.

Then add a spoonful of salt, two spoonfuls of pepper water and cooking wine, and cook on high heat until a large amount of foam forms on the surface of the water.

When the pot is full of foam, you can take out the chicken, rinse it with cold water, and set it aside.

The second step is to make marinated rock sugar juice.

Heat the oil in a pan, put a piece of rock sugar when the oil is about four or five years old.

Turn to low heat and slowly melt the rock sugar until the oil and sugar are combined and turn into coffee color.

At this time, you can pour half a bowl of rice wine and two spoons of soy sauce into the pot.

Once these are mixed, they can be poured out of the pot.

The third step is to fill the casserole with the ingredients.

Take a piece of ginger, wash it, peel it and cut it into thin slices, and spread it on the bottom of the casserole.

Then, choose some pork belly, also cut into thin slices, spread on the ginger.If you have pig's trotters, it is best to cut some pig's trotters and add them.

Because the collagen on the trotters is very rich, putting them in and stewing together can make the chicken soup more delicious.

Next, stuff some knotted scallions and ginger slices into the belly cavity of the chicken, and put the whole chicken in as well.

Then, mix the peppercorns, bay leaves, cinnamon, dried chili peppers, and star anise in proportion, wrap it with gauze to make a package, and put it in a casserole.

After that, remove the cores of dried longan, dried lychee, and red dates, leave the pulp, and put them in a casserole.

Wolfberry and lotus seeds should also be added.

Then, pour in the braised rock sugar juice, add water, and cover the casserole lid.

After the casserole is covered, a layer of tin foil should be spread on the lid to seal all the air holes and gaps of the casserole.

After doing this, we come to the most embarrassing step of the operation.

Generally speaking, stews are stewed with water.

A casserole is not suitable for direct contact with an open flame for a long time, otherwise it will be easily cracked due to thermal expansion and contraction and the temperature difference between the inside and outside.

It's the same when making five-yuan fairy chicken.

Generally speaking, the average cook will use water to simmer the casserole.

Just pour water into a big iron pot, then put the casserole in and stew.

However, real masters don't stew it with water, but with salt when making Wuyuan Shenxian Chicken.

The specific method is to dry the iron pan first, then pour a bag of salt into it, and stir fry it continuously with a spatula to make the salt evenly heated.

After the salt is heated evenly, you can place the casserole on the salt and use the thermal conductivity of the salt to heat the casserole and the ingredients in the casserole.

Food stewed with this "salt stew" is faster than stewed with water.

Because the water will continue to evaporate during the stew, and the heat will be taken away by continuous consumption.But salt stew does not.

Salt stewing ensures that most of the heat in the iron pot is used to heat the casserole.

Correspondingly, the stewing time is less than the water stewing time.

After the casserole is stewed, all that remains is to wait.

Because the waiting time was too long, Yao Yu was bored, and in order to prevent the audience from having nothing to watch, he took Liu Xuanming together, selected some ingredients, made some simple side dishes, and asked the staff to randomly distribute them to the audience for tasting .

Yao Yu's behavior made several judges dumbfounded.

No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't look like he's here for a competition, he's simply too free and undisciplined.

However, the big bosses from the organizer who are paying attention to this game are secretly nodding.

There is a big difference between public cooking competitions and private cooking competitions.

The biggest difference is that the emotions of the audience must be taken care of.

While performing culinary competitions, it is necessary to reflect the fun and entertainment points as much as possible.

Even sports competitions and e-sports need good commentary to mediate the atmosphere, let alone relatively boring cooking duels.

Therefore, Yao Yu's sloppy and unauthorized behavior was, to put it bluntly, warming up for the organizer.

Therefore, not only will it not arouse the disgust of the organizers, but it will be appreciated by many people.

The act of Yao Yu and Liu Xuanming making and distributing food on the spot has achieved excellent results.

Not only the audience cheered and booed, but even the bullet screens in the major live broadcast rooms were "dried bamboo shoots exploding".

At this time, sitting in the southeast corner of the auditorium, a man wearing a baseball cap and wearing a lot of disguise said to the woman next to him: "How about it, do you think Yao Yu is very suitable to participate in your class?" A variety show?"

The woman nodded and said:

"Yao Yu's appearance is very good, and he also has a natural sense of variety. Zou Yu, can you help me make an appointment with him, I want to talk to him in detail."
