Rebirth as a Cooking God

The second finisher was actually the son who was late at the buzzer!

Everyone in the audience was watching him. This young master's mentality was obviously very good. He was used to big scenes. Although he was still young, his steps were steady, and the hand holding the plate did not tremble.

This is my cuisine!

Staring closely at Dojima Gin, Kanbara Masato and Ryoko Lina, three culinary seniors, Watanabe Junya said calmly.

The two maids who came with him clasped their hands in the auditorium as if praying, and the tension came from the heart.

It must be qualified! said an elderly maid.

Definitely qualified!

The young master has inherited the cooking skills of the Watanabe family! Another petite and lovely maid said this, full of affirmation, full of confidence in Watanabe Junya.

Western food?

On the tray brought by Junya Watanabe, there were three small clean white plates, and on each plate was a piece of fried squid.

Along with the cod fillets, there were slices of fresh lemon and a clump of hot cauliflower on the plate.

Of course, the typical western food, the decorations on the plate are indispensable.

Bright green thyme, surrounded by a small daisy.

There are three colors of the whole dinner plate: the crisp yellow of fish pieces, the yellow of lemon slices, the green of cauliflower and thyme, and the white of plates and daisies.

At first glance, it is full of artistic sense.

Exquisite Western food! Masato Kanbara praised, The presentation of Western food is a science. Before people have tasted the delicious food, the visual image is the first thing people know about food.

This is an era of pursuing vision. More than 85% of human cognition comes from vision. If a chef masters the skill of arranging plates, he will undoubtedly be able to add points to his cooking.

Dojima Gin nodded, fully agreeing with what Kanbara Masato said.

He found that Watanabe Junya has a good temperament and is very young, so he asked aloud, Are you still a student?

Unexpectedly, Junya Watanabe just shook his head.

Mr. Dojima, I didn't go to school very early, and I'm not from Yuanyue. I'm sorry. The young master did a good job of etiquette and bowed slightly. At present, I'm helping at home, and my cooking skills are also learned from my family.

He belongs to the Watanabe family. Ryoko Lina interjected, glanced at Junya Watanabe, picked up the knife and fork without any nonsense.

The Watanabe family?

Dojima Gin suddenly said, Young master of the Watanabe restaurant chain group, no wonder.

He stared instead at the cod cubes on his plate and smiled.

The approach is very unique...

As he spoke, Dojima Yin also used a knife and fork to cut off a corner of the crispy yellow cod and put it in his mouth.

bland.

The cod is tender in the mouth, not as greasy as fried food, and has a smooth taste.

Dojima Gin's eyes lit up, he tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but say while eating; That's it! First process the cod meat into thick slices, one slice is just enough for a dish, and use a kitchen paper towel to absorb the water attached to the fish. Clean it, mix it with salt, cooking wine, pepper and other condiments, and marinate it for at least 20 minutes...

Having said that, he paused.

Liangzi Lina swallowed the food in her mouth, put down the knife and fork, and grabbed the napkin to wipe the corners of her lips, then said slowly: Marinating is only the first step, but any chef will do it.

The key is how to keep the cod tender and smooth during frying.

She pointed to the remaining half of the cod meat on the white dinner plate, and the big broadcast screen above the venue took a close-up shot of the cod meat at the right time.

After marinating, you still use egg yolk and milk to spread evenly on both sides of the cod? Ryoko Lina glanced at Junya Watanabe lightly.

Yes.

Use an egg, break it, remove the egg white, leave only the egg yolk, mix it with milk, spread it evenly on the cod meat, dip it in an appropriate amount of raw powder, and fry it with salad oil, so that the cod has a fresh and tender taste , it can be preserved as much as possible.”

Junya Watanabe responded calmly, completely without the panic of complaining about the lineup of luxurious examiners when he was late at the buzzer.

This step is not difficult, the key is to control the oil temperature! Masato Kanbara explained to a group of audience, The frying process should be divided into two stages. When both sides are golden, it is the second stage, and at this time, the fire is used to force out the oil that invaded the fish during frying.

If you can pass the second stage smoothly, this fried cod fish dish with lemon juice will be more than half successful.

heard the words.

The chefs in the auditorium are all discussing.

Oil temperature and fire control, in fact, rely more on experience. Many middle-aged chefs look at Junya Watanabe with admiration.

Judging from the color of the frying, the fire control of this fried cod with lemon juice is almost perfect.

So strong!

Smelling the scent of lemon mixed with fish in the air, Xinhu Feisha swallowed secretly, and at the same time was shocked by the cooking skills of this peer from another school, In Yuanyue, at least it is at the top level of third-year students. question!

Watanabe Western Restaurant Group? Xinhu Feishazi suddenly remembered what the examiner Ryoko Lina said just now, and felt relieved.

For example, the Xinhu family where she works is good at Chinese herbal cuisine, while the Watanabe family is also a force that cannot be ignored in the neon catering industry. heritage.

If you just look at the appearance, Watanabe Junya's creamy niche and weak image are indeed easy to be misunderstood. This is a dude.

The three examiners put down their knives and forks, and the audience was eagerly waiting for the examiner's final assessment. Unexpectedly, Watanabe Junya suddenly said: Wait, my cooking has not been fully presented yet!

He raised his hand, and the examiners and the audience discovered that he was always holding a small bottle of seasoning in his hand.

This is my own take on a classic Italian sauce...

Junya Watanabe stepped forward, spread the sauce evenly on the surface of the cod meat, then bowed and backed away, Please use it!

However, none of the three examiners moved.

enough!

Dojima Gin folded his arms in position, with a low voice.

Junya Watanabe's heart sank, and he secretly said something was wrong, but Gin Dojima unexpectedly gave a qualified evaluation.

qualified!

qualified!

Masato Kanbara and Lina Ryoko also spoke one after another.

Junya Watanabe looked at the dinner plate in front of the three examiners. The cod meat, which was delicious in color and flavor, was only cut off a small corner.

Failure to satisfy diners is a failure for a chef. Watanabe Junya gritted his teeth, and said unwillingly: ...the dish is complete when it is topped with Italian sauce, please taste it!

Liang Zilina gave him a cold look and said nothing.

Dojima Gin also lacked interest.

Masato Kanbara coughed, and said slowly: Your cuisine is very good, enough to pass the two-star rating. However, no matter how beautifully decorated your cuisine is, the taste is also good, but it still lacks essential things.

Maybe if you continue to study, it won't be too difficult to become a five-star or six-star chef in the future, but if you want to move forward, you have to think about what is missing in your cooking.

Watanabe Junya left in a daze, without the slightest joy of passing the examination.
