Chapter 163 Special Lean Pork Porridge with Lotus Leaf
The other contestants have already cleaned the ingredients, and they are just waiting for the time to show off their skills.

But Bai Xiaobai didn't do any preparations.

He first looked for a stove where he could cook food.

Because the food exchange competition is a group of two partners, and each participating team member cooks a food, so the mobile stoves are independent of each other.

There are a total of [-] mobile stoves in the competition area, which are completely randomly allocated.

For example, Bai Xiaobai is on stove No. 6, while Lan Weihao is on stove No. 16. The two are far apart.

Bai Xiaobai walked to the No. 6 stove, and put down the portable refrigerator in his hand

He took out all the ingredients, seasonings, tableware and other items provided by the system, and placed them neatly on the stove top.

After finishing everything, Bai Xiaobai looked around.

The four stoves around him are professional chefs wearing white top hats, two of them are fat, one is thin, and the other is a middle-aged and elderly chef with slightly gray hair.

Bai Xiaobai glanced at the ingredients they had prepared.

From the perspective of food types, it is quite rich.

The main ingredients are mostly fish and seafood. It can be seen that the ingredients are carefully selected, and the color is very fresh. In addition, there are many ingredients such as fruits and vegetables, and various high-end seasonings...

It seems that everyone is fully prepared for this food exchange competition.

In contrast, Bai Xiaobai's ingredients are much simpler.

His competition food today is special lean meat porridge with lotus leaf, so the main ingredients are rice, lotus leaf, and lean pork.

After placing the ingredients and seasonings, Bai Xiaobai is ready, just waiting for the official start of the game.

The food exchange competition did not have a lengthy opening speech by the leader of the organizer. The program was very simple, and there were all beautiful hosts on the stage holding the atmosphere of the audience.

It was almost seven o'clock in a blink of an eye. The beautiful host picked up the microphone and shouted:

"Dear friends, this year's food exchange competition is about to start. All contestants are ready, and ten judges are also present. This year's food exchange meeting, what wonderful food each contestant will present, let us Let's wait and see."

"There is still one minute before the official match." The beautiful host picked up the phone and broadcast the report.

When the host announced the 1-minute countdown, there were two figures in the crowd of onlookers who kept pushing towards the front of the cordon.

These two are Lan Weihao's best friends Xiao Feilong and Curly Hair.

In order to go to the front row of the stage to watch the game, Xiao Feilong tried his best to squeeze towards the cordon, regardless of his quality. Curly followed closely behind him, moving forward with ease.

After the little flying dragon squeezed into a suitable position, he stopped and spoke. "Fortunately, I caught up. The game hasn't started yet, and Lao Lan is already in place."

Curly laughed and joked, "I hope that Assistant Lan will win the first prize this year, otherwise our green pepper shredded pork these days will be useless."

In fact, Lan Weihao practiced in the company dormitory after get off work every day in order to make the fried shredded pork with green peppers more delicious.

As Xiaofeilong and Curly in the same dormitory, they naturally became 'guinea pigs'.

For more than a week, their daily meal was shredded pork with green pepper or shredded pork with green pepper.Rao is delicious, and the two of them are about to go crazy after eating it.

In order to make up for the physical and mental injuries, Xiao Feilong made an agreement with Curly Hair and Lan Weihao that if he won the first prize, he must go to Xiaobai Restaurant for a meal.

Lan Weihao immediately agreed.

Xiao Feilong and Curly Hair are here to watch the game now, and they are waiting for Lan Weihao to win the prize.

"Assistant Lan really has a trick, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into him, but he really invited Boss Bai here." Curly has good eyesight, and he saw Bai Xiaobai on stove No. 6 at a glance.

Xiao Feilong smiled and said, "I knew it earlier. Lao Lan invited Boss Bai to partner in the finals this year. There is no suspense in winning this game. It depends on how much we win. Let's just sit and wait for Lao Lan to treat us."

Curly also laughed and said, "If Assistant Lan wins the first prize and wins the Best Cook Award, then he must have a lot of money in his wallet."

Curly's voice just fell.

It happened to be exactly seven o'clock in the evening in the imperial capital.

The beautiful host, picked up the microphone, and announced sonorously, "The food exchange competition is now officially started!"

The strong man who was on standby at the side of the stage hit a big gong with a hammer.

Clang——

The sound of the gong is the official start of the game.

With the sound of the gong, all contestants began to get busy.

The game time of the food exchange competition is only 20+5 minutes, so every minute and every second is very precious.

Bai Xiaobai first took out three sea bowls and poured a certain amount of rice into each bowl.

This time the special lotus leaf lean meat porridge is really special. There are three kinds of rice used, namely Northeast Pearl Rice, Huxiang Brown Rice, and Thai Jasmine Rice.

Bai Xiaobai washed the three kinds of rice separately.

Rice washing does not use tap water, but mountain spring water specially provided by the system.

Although the work of washing rice is very simple, it is actually very delicate.

The surface of rice is rich in a large amount of vitamins and inorganic salts, and these two components are particularly soluble in water.If the rice washing time is too long, and the rice is scrubbed vigorously, or washed with hot water, the nutrition on the surface of the rice is easily lost!
This process only needs to be washed naturally. Put a certain amount of water in the bowl, no more than one meter high and one finger long, and gently make a circle in the bowl with your fingers.Then pour the rice water directly.

After Bai Xiaobai washed the rice carefully twice, he added a certain amount of Shuiquanshan and started soaking.

Cooking porridge after soaking the rice is conducive to the expansion of the rice grains. This way of cooking porridge is not only faster, but also the finished product tastes thicker and softer.

Taking advantage of the time between soaking rice, Bai Xiaobai was not idle.

He took out a large lotus leaf from the portable refrigerator, washed it carefully, and soaked it in light salt water.

Soaking lotus leaves in salt water helps to remove the small impurities on the surface of the lotus leaves and remove the bitter taste. Second, when cooking lotus leaf porridge, it is easier to cook the lotus leaves and dissolve the nutrients in them. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. .

Lean pork porridge made with lotus leaf is naturally indispensable.

After soaking rice and lotus leaves, Bai Xiaobai took out lean pork and a kitchen knife.

The lean pork meat provided by the system is very fresh without any fat.

clap clap-

Bai Xiaobai's knife is sharp and crisp, even cutting soft lean pork is a piece of cake.

The lean pork used for porridge must be cut into uniform sizes and thicknesses. Otherwise, when it is cooked in the pot, it will be too thin and the meat will be overcooked. If it is too thick, it will not be cooked through, and the taste will not be good.

Bai Xiaobai's knife skills are quite good. The lean pork he cuts out is in slices the size of an adult's thumb. Each slice is the same size and uniform in thickness. If you overlap any two slices of meat, you can find that they are almost overlapping.

King Spirit Mine Lang——

Bai Xiaobai is very serious and devotes himself to the cooking competition, he is very busy.

The same goes for all the other contestants.

Lan Weihao has already chopped all the ingredients on the side, and he is already frying them in the pan.

In fact, there is another potential stipulation in this food exchange competition, which participating member can be the first to present the dish to the judges after finishing the dish first.

to be honest.The order in which the judges taste is based on the order in which the dishes are completed.

It's very tempting.

Because when tasting food, people have preconceived subconsciousness.

In other words, under the same level of deliciousness, the earlier the dish is eaten, the easier it is to impress the judges.

And once the taste of food remains on the tip of the tongue, even drinking water and gargling will not help, and it will still interfere with the subsequent dishes to some extent. .

All players understand this truth.

In order to grab the right to the first dish, they all tried their best to speed up the production of delicious food.

King Spirit Mine Lang——

In the competition area, the sound of the collision of pots and pans constitutes a wonderful cooking musical note.
