Food: How did I become a chef when I set up a stall?

Jiang Feng’s appetizer has been cooked.

The rich broth cooked over a high fire is poured over the two lifelike flowers on the plate. The light yellow broth adds a touch of beauty to the dish.

Like a painting.

It is still a very artistic painting.

The Italian chef's appetizers were also very good.

The appetizer he made was called shrimp and eggs with caviar.

Just put the shrimp on the egg, with the egg white at the bottom and the yolk in the middle, then put a shrimp vertically on the top, sprinkle some green plant debris as decoration, and add some caviar.

There are four such shrimp and egg caviar on the plate.

I have to say that this dish is impeccable from the selection of ingredients to the presentation.

The Italian chef even believes that his appetizer can definitely take the first place.

But when he saw the Moon Over the West Tower made by Jiang Feng, he was completely stunned and froze.

what is that?

What did I see?

Two flowers?

Two flowers made of something unknown?

Is this a dish?

All of China’s top Chinese cuisine is like this; it may seem simple, but in fact, there is a great deal of knowledge behind it.

The road to simplicity, return to nature.

For example, the classic dish boiled cabbage may seem like just ordinary cabbage, but you might not know how many kinds of ingredients are used in the clear soup that makes the cabbage.

Also use chopped chicken mince to soak up the soup until it becomes clear.

It's very difficult.

This dish, Moon Over the West Tower, is also such a dish.

“Is this a Chinese appetizer?”

"How is this done?"

The Italian chef was the only one who was kept in the dark.

After all, everyone else has witnessed the whole process of Jiang Feng's cooking and knows how Jiang Feng makes such beautiful dishes.

But the Italian chef didn’t see the process, so naturally he didn’t know how to do it.

"Incredible!"

“It’s amazing that Chinese food can reach such a level.”

Gordon praised it again and again.

The Chinese food that is popular in the world today are all home-cooked dishes, the kind that can be eaten in restaurants or small eateries.

For example, pineapple sweet and sour pork, Kung Pao chicken, etc.

There are also many big dishes that are more difficult to prepare and are less popular.

There are also top-notch royal court dishes that are not available even in China, let alone spread abroad.

Otherwise, when the summit was held, leaders of so many countries tasted the state banquet dishes and praised them for being so delicious.

Because such dishes can only be eaten in the most top-level occasions in China.

Now, Jiang Feng brings such dishes to the competition.

Let everyone see the true heritage of Chinese food.

A full moon is in the west building, and there are two exquisite flowers.

Judging from the appearance, it is simply invincible.

"I've never seen such a beautiful dish, either exquisite presentation, or just pure beauty."

"Like the most beautiful art."

“I couldn’t even bear to destroy it.”

Gordon looked at the full moon in the west building and exclaimed softly.

"I have to admit, Chef Jiang Feng, you always surprise me."

“It takes me by surprise every time.”

"It's incredible!"

Having said this, Gordon looked at Jiang Feng and asked:

"Now, can I taste this dish?"

Gordon's attitude represents respect for Jiang Feng.

He respected Jiang Feng from the bottom of his heart, so he asked.

Because he really couldn't bear to destroy this work of art.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "This is an appetizer, of course you can try it."

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Gordon picked up a spoon and stretched it out towards the flowers with some hesitation.

When the audience saw this scene, they felt a little bit reluctant, as if they were afraid that he would destroy the beauty of the two flowers.

It is the only one who can do this well in cooking.

Gordon paused, then made up his mind and scooped out a spoonful of scallop meat.

The texture of the meat is similar to shrimp meat, but the flavor is completely different.

As soon as you take your mouth, the first taste is that of soup stock.

That stock comes from simmering chicken, pork, and ham.

It's the smell of meat.

The taste inside is a mixture of sweet and sour sauce and a hint of minced garlic.

It feels a bit more sour and sweet.

When chewing, the two flavors collide together with the shrimp meat as the medium.

The taste and flavor are perfect, making you feel comfortable from beginning to end.

The more Gordon chewed, the tastier it became.

This dish is not only beautiful in appearance, but also tastes great.

"It was incredible. I first tasted the chicken and pork stew, and then after chewing it, I could feel the sweet and sour taste in my mouth."

"The texture of the meat is similar to shrimp meat, very fresh."

“I thought this dish would taste like ice cream, but I didn’t expect it to be so tender.”

"too delicious!"

Gordon was full of admiration.

People were particularly surprised to see Gordon, who was known for his sharp tongue, showing such an expression.

Gordon has always been selfless.

The reviews are spot on.

But when it came to Jiang Feng, there was only praise.

There were also two more famous chefs, and they all started to taste the Yueman Xilou made by Jiang Feng.

When they tasted this top-notch delicacy, they all showed expressions of appreciation.

It was indeed delicious.

Moreover, the portion of this dish is not large. After eating this dish, I suddenly feel a little more hungry.

Unfortunately, the competition is not a one-time competition, but a dish-by-dish competition.

This is very uncomfortable.

After the three of them finished eating a flower, they happened to still feel a little hungry.

Right next to it was an appetizer made by the Italian chef, which looked good and could be used to fill my stomach.

Then, Gordon began to review the dishes prepared by the Italian chef.

Although it was still all praise, everyone could feel from Gordon's tone that he was not that excited, nor did he feel amazed.

It's a proper Michelin restaurant appetizer.

This is enough.

After the judges finished both dishes, Gordon announced the next rules.

“Next, the main courses and appetizers are cooked together.”

"In other words, you have to cook two dishes within the specified time."

Gordon obviously realized that it was not appropriate to compare them one by one.

It is most correct to do it all at once.

When they heard about the rule change, they both remained calm.

After all, the appetizer is the dessert or the side dish after the meal.

Just do it casually, it's not difficult.

The real difficulty is the main course.

Because it was the finals of a top masters competition, there were no restrictions on the two of them. Moreover, the two of them could request ingredients that were not available in the kitchen, and Gordon would send someone to buy them.

Given Gordon's status, it was easy for him to ask for a few ingredients.

However, most of the dishes in the kitchen are meat, and there is not much room for creativity.

Jiang Feng was thinking about what to do.

For the main course, the portion size is required.

Jiang Feng originally wanted to be a Buddha and jump over the wall. After all, he had set up a stall before and was very comfortable with it.

I just happened to have made some broth, so it’s convenient.

But it is not enough for Buddha to jump over the wall.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Feng made a decision.

He is going to make an upgraded version of the dish called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, also known as Immortal Jumping Over the Wall:

The Eight Immortals cross the sea.

Top-notch dishes, you can tell just by hearing the name that they are not simple.

This is the essence of traditional Chinese cuisine.

The best chefs may spend a lifetime developing a dish and then passing it down.

Very rare.

Then, Jiang Feng said to Gordon:

"I need some ingredients, and they're not here."

"I hope to be ready."

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Gordon agreed:

"No problem. If you need anything, I'll get it right now. Soon."

“I have the largest food market in the United States.”

Hearing what he said, Jiang Feng wrote down the ingredients needed, which were:

Eight fresh foods: deer tendons, fish lips, shark skin, skirt, abalone, sea cucumber, scallops and prawns

Eight delicacies: matsutake, morels, porcini, matsutake, deer antlers, bamboo shoots, gallinaceous mushrooms and flower mushrooms

Then, an old hen that is more than three years old is killed to collect the eggs and the attached yolk is taken, which is called Arhat.

This is the fairy jumping over the wall.

A magical dish that even your body may not be able to withstand.

Really top notch cuisine.

The method is similar to that of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, just put it in a pot and stew it.

Jiang Feng has made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall so many times, so he is still very good at making this one.

Gordon was a little surprised when he saw the ingredients on the list.

All top quality ingredients.

He made arrangements quickly and soon all the ingredients were in place.

Jiang Feng also officially started his cooking process.

It is still a magical technique, and the soup stock is golden yellow.

The abalone and sea cucumber in the pot were all stewed to perfection and seemed to be glowing.

As for the after-meal snack, Jiang Feng chose to make a passion fruit chicken.

Jiangnan Baixiang Chicken is famous all over the world, and it looks great when placed on the plate.

When the two dishes are presented, it gives people a high-end and classy feeling.

Many people have never seen this type of Chinese food, most of them are ordinary dishes.

Seeing it now, I am still amazed.

The audience who came to the scene felt it was a feast for the eyes.

Jiang Feng's performance today was completely beyond their understanding.

Chinese food culture is profound and extensive, and is therefore gradually revealed.
