The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 1284 Chapter 325 Weaknesses and Improvements

Xuan Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tried chicken and pork again.

Not only duck meat is replaced by wild duck meat, but even the taste of chicken is more delicious than ordinary chicken.

"pheasant……"

Xuan Li bit her lip, enduring the shock of the food.This delicious taste reverberates in the mouth and nasal cavity and lasts for a long time.

"It's amazing... I thought that after you stayed in France for nearly a year, Chinese cuisine would be a bit unfamiliar. I didn't expect that your cooking skills have improved a lot...Compared with before, it has risen by more than one level." Xuan Li looked at Zheng Ke in surprise.

The dish in front of her brought her too much surprise, and the scent that pierced her heart was like a rope, tightly imprisoning her body, the more she struggled to break free, the tighter the rope was tied.

"How can I learn the same thing and lose the same thing? In Paris, I have never relaxed my practice of Chinese cuisine." Zheng Ke explained.

He wants to open a three-star Chinese restaurant in Paris in the future, how could he lose the Chinese cuisine?
"That's right." Xuan Li took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Ke, "You just said that you were not satisfied with this dish, why? I think it's already pretty good."

"This dish is Cantonese cuisine, and among the judges, there is also a Cantonese cuisine chef. My opponent is the successor of a famous Cantonese cuisine chef. Under such comparison conditions, any flaws will be infinitely magnified - I I won’t give my opponents any chance to beat me. I want to win all the games.”

"All competitions, isn't that the championship?"

Xuan Li looked up at Zheng Ke, but saw that Zheng Ke's eyes were firm, and he didn't waver at what he said just now, so he knew that he was absolutely serious.

"Then tell me, what are the shortcomings of this dish?" Xuan Li continued to ask.

"Sister Li, do you know what ingredients are missing in this dish?" Zheng Ke asked back.

Xuan Li shook her head, "From my point of view, the taste of this dish is very good, and the heat and knife skills are also in place."

"These are just the most basic requirements." Zheng Ke took a deep breath and said slowly, "There was originally dog ​​meat in this dish, but I removed the dog meat."

"Remove the dog meat?" Xuan Li was surprised, and looked at the dish again, "Ah? So you are making it..."

Zheng Ke nodded, but did not speak clearly.

"But why do you want to remove the dog meat?" Xuan Li asked puzzled.

"Actually, when I was choosing ingredients, I really wanted to use dog meat, but Catherine strongly opposed it. At that time, I just followed her advice and promised not to use dog meat. But then I thought about the pros and cons carefully, and realized that I The dog meat should really be removed.

"The French love dogs very much, and even regard dogs as part of the family. And this year's the-blue is broadcast live globally, and French food lovers will definitely be able to see it. Although in some areas of France, there are also dogs that use dog meat. I am used to it, but as a foreigner, I still have to avoid unnecessary risks. After all, I still want to open a restaurant in Paris. It would be unwise to make them feel disgusted.”

Xuan Li nodded, this is indeed a very important reason.

"I didn't expect you to really plan to open a restaurant in Paris. It's very difficult." Xuan Li looked at Zheng Ke.

"Dreams are always necessary." Zheng Ke smiled all over his face and wiped his nose, "Besides, if Senior Sigong can do it, it means that I also have a chance."

"That's right." Xuan Li nodded, "But the taste of this dish has no obvious shortcomings due to the lack of dog meat."

"That's right, it's because I used pheasant and wild duck instead of ordinary chicken and duck, so the taste has been greatly improved." Zheng Ke explained.

"Then what are the shortcomings you mentioned?" Xuan Li asked.

"The layering of the taste, if you didn't pay attention to it just now, it means that the taste of the dish has covered the taste."

When Xuan Li heard Zheng Ke's words, she suddenly covered her mouth.

The taste of the dish just now was very delicious, but as Zheng Ke said, because the taste of the dish was so strong that when she tried it, she even forgot to relish its texture.

"Yes... That's right... Listening to your mention, I have forgotten the taste of this dish now. When I tried it, I just took it for granted that this dish should taste like this." Xuan Li rubbed her chin , seriously recalling the taste of this dish, "It's so rare that you can even notice this shortcoming."

Zheng Ke was a little relieved when he heard that Xuan Li agreed with him, "Actually, I only discovered this after trying the dishes three times. Moreover, after replacing the pheasant and wild duck, this The feeling is more obvious. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know the reason for this problem.

"Wild ducks and pheasants are both birds. Even if there is a difference in taste, the difference will be covered up by the strong aroma. Pork meat is loose and easy to melt in the mouth. Therefore, these three main The taste of the ingredients may be overlooked when trying to eat."

"Then what are you going to do?" Xuan Li asked puzzled.

"I have thought of two methods now. The first one is to remove one of the ingredients in the wild duck and pheasant, so that the strong aroma will be reduced. Then add beef to enhance the layering of the dish. At the same time, the taste It won't be too bad either.

"There is another method, which is to add beef directly, but the taste of the dish can only be determined after tasting." Zheng Ke explained.

After listening to Zheng Ke's words, Xuan Li pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "Beef is not good, let's use another ingredient."

"Why?" Zheng Ke asked puzzled.

"Beef is indeed more chewy and elastic, but beef also has a disadvantage. Compared with other ingredients, its meat quality is slightly rough. I think you can add ingredients directly to it, but the ingredients can't be beef... In fact, the whole dish The reason why the dish you mentioned is that it lacks the delicate and elastic texture of dog meat, as a comparison. Can other ingredients be used instead of dog meat?" Xuan Li explained.

"I think so too, isn't it because I can't find the right ingredients?" Zheng Ke smiled wryly.

"Dog meat is delicate and dense, which means that the ingredients that replace dog meat also need to have an excellent taste. Moreover, dog meat can generate a lot of heat and resist the cold. Now that it is winter, it is the best season to eat dog meat. Therefore, the best ingredients also have this property." Xuan Li explained.

Zheng Ke filtered these contents in his brain, and compared the ingredients he knew with one by one, and one ingredient gradually became clear in his mind.

"Understood, I seem to have thought of it." Zheng Ke muttered to himself.

"I thought of that too." Xuan Li also replied.

The two looked at each other and smiled almost at the same time.

Although not stated, the two are almost certain that they are talking about the same ingredient.
