Rebirth as a Cooking God

coincide?

If Xia Yu were here, he would definitely smile and say to Fan Jiaorou——

Well, it’s not a coincidence!

Originally, Fan Jiaorou's spice recipe made him have great research interest in the ancient ingredient tempeh. Although he was not able to thoroughly study Fan Jiaorou's recipe, with Xia Yu's spice knowledge, would it be difficult to create a spice and medicinal diet recipe on the spot using the ingredient tempeh?

Not at all, right?

It just so happened that Mrs. Tang's words also pointed out the direction for Xia Yu's creative ideas.

Mrs. Tang said she had a bad appetite and had no appetite.

With three judges on the stage, it’s hard to whet their appetites? The competition has reached the third round. Over the past few days, the judges have tasted so many bad and mediocre works. Their tongues and taste buds have been bombarded and exhausted. It’s just that the work is not too obvious. Show it.

In fact, there is not much difference between food reviewers and some kind of pornographic film appraisers. They are both appreciators of art. However, if a veteran who has read tens of millions of films has to work intensively for several days in a row and then go home, Is there still a treasure that you can take the time to open the hard drive?

So Xia Yu felt that, well, it was necessary to let the judges on stage regain their brave self.

Speaking of boosting appetite, coincidentally, tempeh, which can be used both as food and medicine, has the effect of harmonizing the stomach and digesting food.

Moreover, the rich aroma of tempeh acts on the food like an inducement, which can greatly increase the appetite of the taster.

So focusing on the tempeh ingredient, Xia Yu naturally easily finalized this round of recipes——

Black bean seabass!

To be more precise, it’s seabass with fermented black bean sauce!

Hey, Xia Yu wants to say here, don't fix your impression of tempeh on Lao Ganma, that's just a spicy sauce that uses tempeh.

Open the yellow paper packages one by one.

Mansi, cinnamon, white cardamom.

Eight anise, clove, three nai.

The last two flavors are black bean sauce and green onion!

Counting it down, there are a total of 8 kinds of materials. If Fan Jiaorou hears Xia Yu's soliloquy, she will definitely scream that Fan's daughter will be copied.

Uh, copycat?

In fact, the comparison between Xia Yu's self-created tempeh medicinal diet formula and Fan's only overlaps in the ingredients of scallion white and tempeh. The copycat claim is too exaggerated.

As for why these 8 ingredients are chosen to be combined with tempeh...

Shh.

The truth will eventually come out, but not now.

Since it is medicated seabass, there must be a medicated diet method.

Xia Yu did not rush to catch the fish and butcher it. Instead, he took out all the medicinal materials and placed them on the kitchen counter. Like an old Chinese medicine doctor in a pharmacy, he took the appropriate amount of each medicinal material and mixed it.

The amount of tempeh is the largest, so use the whole package. What you need to pay special attention to in this step is the amount of mansi and cloves.

You should know that Gansong is a spice often used in braised vegetables and spicy hot pot soup bases. It is also a Chinese medicinal material. It has a spicy smell and tastes similar to turpentine. Because its smell is too strong and its characteristics are outstanding, generally every spice formula The dosage should not exceed 5 grams, otherwise the spice formula will be unbalanced.

The same goes for cloves, which have a strong fragrance and can even have a pungent taste if used too much. Therefore, the dosage should be smaller, about 1 to 2 grams. Even half a gram more will cause the spice formula to collapse.

It took about 5 minutes to carefully balance the looming golden scale of spices in my mind.

The golden and perfect cooking skill [Spice Inequality] always comes into play quietly.

alright!

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, stared slightly, put a medicine jar on the workbench on the stove, poured in water, and then put all the selected medicinal materials into a plain gauze bag, and tightened the mouth of the bag. , the whole bag is thrown into the medicine jar.

Click!

Close the lid and turn on the fire.

This step, as captured in the shot, is undoubtedly a decoction of medicinal soup!

At this point, Xia Yu was not in a hurry to kill the sea bass. He stood in front of the stove with his arms folded, gently closed his eyes, and drifted away.

Judging table.

Li Han and Wang Gong started discussing.

Decoct the medicinal soup first, and then cook the fish in the medicinal soup?

I don't think it's fish soup!

Wei Qinglian, who was sitting in the main seat, felt ups and downs in her heart.

Medicinal seabass formed around tempeh?

She also knows in her heart that in the Chinese world, many spices are actually used as medicine and food, and tempeh is one of the representatives.

So, that guy's knowledge of spices can almost be perfectly equal to his level of medicinal food.

Extending from the field of spices to the field of medicinal food, his abilities are simply invincible! Wei Qinglian's eyes were filled with fear. She herself felt a little scared, let alone Ye Feizhou, whom she regarded as her junior.

If possible, Feizhou would be better off not to fight with him, but to step down and endure hardships for a few years. There is still hope of a comeback! Wei Qinglian sighed.

Before I knew it, half an hour passed.

In the venue, bursts of fresh fragrance began to fill the air. The cooking process of the hundreds of boys and girls in the first audition, except Xia Yu, was in full swing.

Because hunting talents come from all over the country, it is foreseeable that the seabass delicacies that will be presented later will definitely include eight major cuisines.

Hoo, ho...

Air flow continuously emerged from the mouth of the medicine jar.

Snap, Xia Yu slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to turn off the stove valve, That's it!

He smelled the scent of medicinal herbs near the kitchen counter and nodded, The medicinal properties have been fully worked out, so let's move on to the second step!

Uh-huh.

The sword flashed, one, two, three...

A total of 6 palm-sized bass were taken out by Xia Yu in the blink of an eye and placed on the chopping board.

The body structure of the Songjiang sea bass is a bit more special than that of ordinary sea bass. It is rumored that it has four gills, also known as the four-cheek sea bass. In fact, Xia Yu just had some free time and went into the God of Cooking space to practice butchering thousands of them. He found that this was not the case. thing.

Ever since, in the camera, Xia Yu butchered the fish bravely. With one wave of the knife, the scales of six bass flew away. With another wave, the fish was disemboweled and the gills and internal organs were ready to be taken out.

How come he kills Songjiang sea bass so often? He's so skillful! A girl at the kitchen counter next door exclaimed.

Xia Yu heard this and felt secretly happy.

If there is a fish-killing achievement, then he should have unlocked a 'bass butcher' achievement after practicing in space.

In the blink of an eye, 6 bass were processed.

Next, is marinating!

The salt shaker poured a puddle of salt into his palms, just like kneading facial cleanser. Xia Yu clasped his palms together, and his movements suddenly became gentle. Then he spread the kneaded salt evenly on both sides of the fish body. Perhaps it was stained by the salt. It stung, and the bass that had been eviscerated was actually on the chopping board, with its mouth wide open, swallowing and gasping for air.

Sprinkle cooking wine and chopped ginger and marinate for 10 minutes.

Finally, take two clay pots, pour into each clay pot the medicinal soup that has been simmered for half an hour, add water to mix, and place 6 tail palm-sized seabass in two clay pots respectively.

Done!

About half an hour later, Xia Yu raised his head and glanced at the timer on the field.

There is still about half an hour left before the cooking session ends.

However, it is clear that this audition is coming to an end, but the judging table is still empty, and no contestants have submitted their works in advance.

what happened?

Xia Yu turned off the stove valve and looked around, with a subtle expression on his face.

Many contestants have stopped cooking. There are containers of food in front of them, but they have not submitted them to the judges for tasting. Instead, their eyes flicker at the No. 1 kitchen table, which means they are staring at themselves...

Does this mean you want me to come first? Okay, okay, if you go first you lose. If you are all waiting to see the situation, I will serve you first -

The clay pot is served on a tray.

Without pausing, Xia Yu walked all the way to the judging table.

Please use--

A tray was placed firmly on the table, and the soup in the clay pot was clear and calm without any ripples.

Who knows, before Xia Yu could wait for the judges to speak, he turned around neatly and handed another tray to where Mrs. Tang was.
