Dare to cook

Chapter 205
There are many kinds of dishes for the whole crab feast.

Different regions and different chefs make different whole crab feasts.

Yao Yu thought about it for a while, and decided to choose five dishes from his family's whole crab banquet menu, including crab powder tofu, crab powder spring rolls, noodle crab, snowflake crab bucket, and crab powder lion head. These five dishes were used for the challenge.

Among them, crabmeal spring rolls can be counted as dim sum.

Crab powder tofu can be counted as a small appetizer, and noodles with crab are very popular and also a very popular dish.

The snowflake crab bucket is an extremely difficult high-end crab dish. If this dish is cooked well, it will definitely get high marks.

As for the lion's head with crab powder, it is the most suitable dish for the main course, and it is also an indispensable dish in almost all crab feasts.

Originally, Yao Yu planned to use June Yellow to replace crab powder tofu.

However, the ingredients provided by the organizer did not include June Yellow, so Yao Yu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

Some time ago, in order to complete the task related to Liu Zicheng, Yao Yu spent a lot of time thinking about practicing these crab dishes.

Especially in order to make a good crab powder lion head, Yao Yu went to learn from Lu Tao.

It is precisely because of the previous hard practice that Yao Yu felt very comfortable cooking these few dishes in the competition without any pressure.

In the judge's seat, Qin Wumi felt amazing at the moment.

He knew that Qin Xianxian had been hanging out in the Renhe Pavilion some time ago, and he also knew that Yao Yu invited Lu Huaiwei and others to a whole crab feast that day.

However, when he heard from Qin Xianxian that Yao Yu's whole crab feast was actually approved by Lu Huaiwei.

He didn't believe it at first.

But after thinking about it, Qin Wumi also felt that it would not be a bad thing for his daughter to learn something from Yao Yu's side, so he didn't urge Qin Xianxian to come back.

Later, because Qin Qianqian's grandma accidentally broke her leg, Qin Qianqian rushed back to Jinyang to accompany her grandma after learning about it.

Although that eccentric black-bellied loli gave Yao Yu a headache, she was also a filial child.

Qin Xianxian, who originally planned to come to Qindao to watch the game, stayed in Jinyang because she had to accompany her grandma.

Until yesterday, her grandma's condition had improved a lot, so Qin Xianqian came to Qindao to watch the last few games on the spot.

In the morning, Qin Xianxian was very happy to see Yao Yu defeating Li Boju, and felt that Yao Yu had avenged her.

When he thought of the look on his girl's face every time she mentioned Yao Yu, King Qin Jiu couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

He came from here and was Qin Xianxian's father, so he could tell that his daughter really liked Yao Yu.

It's just that the girl's rival in love seems a bit difficult to deal with.

and also……

Thinking of Yao Yu's attitude towards Qin Xianxian at noon, King Qin Vinegar became very angry.

You bastard, how dare you treat my daughter like that.

I'd like to see how good your whole crab feast is.

If any of the dishes go wrong, you won't be able to advance in this round!

Qin Wumi was thinking viciously, while staring at Yao Yu who was already chopping meat for the crabmeat lion head with a sullen expression.

The standard Huaiyang dish lion head usually weighs four taels.

To make a lion head, there are two key points that must be mastered.

First, the meat of the lion's head is cut with one knife and cannot be chopped.

The minced meat does not meet the taste required by the lion's head.

Why do the meatballs and lion heads made by many restaurants not taste good?

The reason is not necessarily that the ingredients are not good, it may also be that the cook is lazy and chops the meat directly or smashes the meat in a meat grinder.

Of course, the lion's head made like that will not taste good.

Secondly, when cutting the lion's head and trapping it, be sure to beat the meatballs hard.

Only the balls that have been beaten have good toughness and stickiness.

What if the kneaded balls are broken up as soon as they are beaten?
That is, the addition of raw powder and eggs is not enough.Continue to add ingredients until the firmness of the meatballs is up to standard.

The Vinegar King's gaze did not disturb Yao Yu.

After Yao Yu rubbed the meatballs, he made a small opening on the top of each meatball.

That opening is used to hold the crab powder.

Pry open the shell of the steamed crab, then pick out the crab powder and crab meat that is still steaming inside, and stuff it into the lion's head.

Then, put the meatballs into the casserole that has been poured with broth, then put the casserole on the stove to boil, and then change to a low heat and simmer.

Four hours, cooking five crab dishes, barely enough time.

Among the five dishes Yao Yu chose, the first three were easy to cook and didn't take much time.

80.00% of his energy is used to cook crab powder lion head and snowflake crab bucket.

Especially the snowflake crab bucket dish is very difficult, and it belongs to the kind of dish that laymen can't understand at all.

Time flies by quickly.

In the main venue, a smell of meat like a lion's head gradually permeated.

Each of the four top four players chose to be the lion head, and they all did well.

The rich aroma kept wafting away, making the photographers and many staff in the main venue swallow their saliva.

This is really delicious!
The camera brother who was in charge of shooting Yao Yu almost collapsed, and almost couldn't help but want to take out his mobile phone to order takeaway.

Finally, the game time is coming to an end.

The dishes cooked by the four contestants are also ready.

The lady passer arrived generously, and brought the whole crab feast made by Yao Yu and the others to the judging table.

Seeing those delicacies gradually go away, and will soon fall into the mouths of others, the mood of the camera brother is complicated.

He was struggling in his heart, thinking, after today's work, should he take his wife and children to the best restaurant in Qindao to have a big meal, so as to make up for the severe trauma he suffered in his soul.

And right now.

Just when the judges were about to evaluate the dishes seriously, the sound of "Zi Li Zi Li" soup came into the ears of the cameraman.

The big cameraman looked back in astonishment, and saw Yao Yu holding a small bowl and happily eating the lion's head.

Isn't the lion's head served up!

Why is there still Yao Yu here!

The big cameraman collapsed, this kind of zero-distance live eating and broadcasting made him unbearable.

The main reason is that the culinary skills of several contestants are too high, and the cooking is too delicious.

Seeing Lu Chenyu and the cameraman looking at him, Yao Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled honestly and said:

"I have cooked too much food, and it would be a waste if I don't eat it. I still have seven or eight lion heads and fish, so what, do you want some?"

Hearing this, Lu Chenyu couldn't laugh or cry.

On the opposite side, Wu Zhongliu and Ling Zhaochi couldn't help the corners of their mouths twitching.

God, I have cooked too many dishes...

As a famous chef, how can you not predict how many dishes you should cook?
Yao Yu did it on purpose!
He is just greedy, and he has already thought about it, and he needs to do more to satisfy his hunger.

This guy actually eats and drinks in such an important game, it is really disgusting!

Lu Chenyu is a culinary goddess, so of course she won't eat in front of the camera like Yao Yu regardless of her image.

Wu Zhongliu and Ling Zhaochi are Yao Yu's opponents, and they don't even know how to eat his food.

Among the few people, only the big camera brother who heard these words swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily as if he had been hit by a critical blow.

Yao Yu heard the sound of the camera's throat squirming, smiled slightly, immediately filled him with two lion heads, poured a spoonful of soup and handed it to him.

The big cameraman's eyes straightened immediately.

He also accidentally entered the camera.

And the director in the broadcast room is also a wonderful person. After discovering that the camera was captured, instead of reminding him, he directly broadcast the scene.

As a result, water friends in the major live broadcast rooms saw the camera while struggling to resist the temptation of food, and said righteously: "I am working and can't eat."

"It's okay, the Kitchen Association won't punish you for this." Yao Yu smiled.

"This……"

"Are you hungry? Take it quickly."

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Yao Yu added another sentence:
"Really don't want it? You have to think about it, the crab meat lion head I made, not everyone has a chance to eat it."

Perhaps it was this sentence that broke through the defense of the big cameraman, or maybe it was the smell of the lion head so close at hand.

The camera brother finally couldn't hold back.

He quickly took over the bowl and chopsticks, bit off half of the lion's head in one bite, squinted his eyes contentedly and said, "It smells so good!"
