Chapter 253 Steamed Turbot VS Crystal Steamed Dumplings

Watching the gourmet competition is also a kind of learning. Bai Xiaobai concentrates on every detail of the competition in the rest area.

Yang Huaizhong made steamed turbot, and Bai Xiaobai had already guessed it.

However, Bai Xiaobai doesn't know what kind of food Li Maoren of Hengyuan cooks. He can only guess that he cooks noodles.

Li Maoren was kneading the dough, and every time he kneaded the dough, he had to beat the dough once, and hit the dough with his palm.

blah blah——

As expected of the head chef of Hengyuan Hotel, this guy is really amazing.

Kneading, patting, and dusting the dough, the whole movement is smooth and smooth, without any sloppiness.

Bai Xiaobai could tell that Li Maoren's skills in Bai'an were quite profound. Judging from his kneading movements, Bai'an had at least decades of accumulation of strength.

The so-called white case is a classification in the field of Chinese cuisine, which has a long history.

Baian refers specifically to pasta-like delicacies, such as rolling noodles, pancakes, making steamed buns, steamed buns, mainly dealing with flour and rice.

A full-time white case chef can be called a pastry chef, a pastry chef, or a "white case" chef.

Corresponding to the white case is the red case.

Red case refers to the processing and cooking of various ingredients, including meat and vegetables, etc. The categories include stir-fried dishes, cold dishes, steamed dishes, and eight major cuisines, etc. Chefs who specialize in cooking such delicacies can be called Chinese cooks , It can also be commonly known as the master of the red case.

There is actually no difference in difficulty between white cases and red cases. Both types have a lot of basic skills, and it is not easy to be proficient in any one.

The chef status of the red and white cases is actually the same. A skilled chef of the red case is equally popular with a skilled chef of the white case.

However, it is not easy to be fully proficient in white cases and red cases at the same time.In addition to acquired hard work, one's own talent is also indispensable, and there are few such top figures in China.

Bai Xiaobai saw that Li Maoren's white case was very skillful, so he thought too much for a while.He collected his thoughts and continued to watch the game.

Li Maoren kneaded the dough extremely fast. While Bai Xiaobai was thinking about it, he had already kneaded a shiny dough, and covered the dough with a soft white cloth.

After kneading the dough, Li Maoren took out a large colander and scooped a handful out of the storage box.

At this time, the female reporter of Jianghai TV Station was directing the filming of the cooking competition. When she saw what Li Maoren fished out with the colander, she couldn't help but let out a wow.

Because the female reporter was blocking Bai Xiaobai's sight, she didn't know what Li Maoren fished out.

Closest to the cordon, there were a few people with good eyesight who knew the goods, and when they saw the ingredients Li Maoren fished out, they couldn't help but let out a wow.

So shocked, could it be that what Li Maoren fished out was an octopus, or a king cobra?

Bai Xiaobai was thinking in doubt, when the female reporter from Jianghai TV Station said excitedly, "The shrimps caught by our master Li are very fresh, as if they were just fished out of the sea."

Bai Xiaobai "..."

Has this female reporter never seen shrimp?What's all the fuss about.

Bai Xiaobai was speechless.

The female reporter turned sideways as she spoke, and Bai Xiaobai finally saw Li Maoren's colander filled with live, disheveled shrimp.

Originally, shrimp was a normal ingredient and not scarce, but the shrimp Li Maoren fished out was not ordinary shrimp, no wonder the female reporter was taken aback.

Bai Xiaobai has excellent eyesight and can see clearly.

This shrimp is not small in size. It has deep and shallow horizontal lines on its body. It has a very high appearance and looks like tiger stripes.

It turned out to be a nine-section shrimp.

Bai Xiaobai recognized it immediately.

Nine-section shrimp is also known as tiger-spotted shrimp because of the tiger-skin stripes on its carapace.This kind of shrimp has the integrity of "it is better to be a piece of jade than a tile". After being salvaged from the sea, as soon as it comes out of the water, it will immediately spit out special secretions in its mouth, killing itself, so I want to taste fresh nine-section shrimp It's not easy, and some gourmets can't get their hands on this fresh delicacy all their lives.

In order to obtain fresh nine-section shrimp, it is necessary to manually change the water continuously, remove secretions, and simulate the growth environment of seawater.

In this way, various labor costs are naturally not low.

The market price of fresh nine-section shrimp is at least hundreds of yuan per catty.

Bai Xiaobai grew up, and only when he was 13 years old, he was lucky enough to eat boiled nine-section shrimp in a high-end hotel with his father's friend.

The freshness and sweetness of the shrimp meat after being boiled is so good that there is nothing to say. He still remembers that taste.

Unexpectedly, Li Maoren could provide such fresh nine-section shrimp.

However, with the backing of Hengyuan Hotel, a big chaebol, it is not difficult to have such top-level ingredients.

In a cooking competition, if the ingredients are provided well, at least half of the success will be achieved.

The strength of Li Maoren's white case itself is very good, and with the addition of high-end ingredients, he is indeed a difficult opponent.

From the selection of his kneading dough and ingredients, Bai Xiaobai probably already guessed the delicacies he made.

Knead the dough + nine-section shrimp meat, combined together, the possibility of making shrimp siu mai and shrimp dumplings is the greatest.

Although shrimp can also be used as stuffing in buns, it is relatively rare.

But all of this is just Bai Xiaobai's rough speculation.

What exactly Li Maoren did can only be determined by watching further.

Li Maoren was very fast. After kneading the dough, he began to process the fresh nine-section shrimp.

On the other hand, Yang Huaizhong, who was opposite his stove, was not far behind.

His cooking speed is not slow, and he has already cleaned out the internal organs of the turbot.

After making a few cuts on the turbot, Yang Huaizhong carefully wiped the body and belly of the turbot all over with salt and cooking wine, and patted it gently to help the fish absorb the wine.

The first game is in full swing.

Bai Xiaobai was afraid of missing every detail of the game.

Watching chefs cook food is also a kind of cultivation to increase food knowledge.

He looked at it very seriously, and didn't notice at all that in the tent of Hengyuan Hotel, there was a man staring at him with sinister eyes through the gap of the tent.

"Bai Xiaobai, I didn't expect you to participate in this culinary competition. Hehe, it's really a narrow road for enemies. This time, I will definitely discredit you and lose you completely."

There was an extremely terrifying haze on that person's face, those yellowish teeth were like fangs, they could pounce on Bai Xiaobai at any time and tear him to pieces.

……

Except for Bai Xiaobai who looked at it very seriously.

The onlookers outside the cordon pushed forward one after another, trying to find a good place to watch the cooking competition.

Haochuang Hotel and Hengyuan Hotel are both giants in the hotel industry in Jianghai City. They started a culinary competition in order to compete for the right to settle in Japanese food. As early as two days ago, they had already carried out all-round tracking on Jianghai TV reports.

Because the strength of these two hotels is equal, they are among the best in Jianghai, so all the onlookers are very curious about which side will win this result.

Two young people who watched the game together even started to bet on which hotel would win in the end.

The young man wearing glasses said:

"I guess Hao Chuang will definitely win this cooking competition. Hao Chuang Hotel is our first five-star hotel in Jianghai. It has been open for many years and has a very good reputation. The owner is also good and has strong strength."

The short and fat man next to the guy with glasses said disapprovingly:
"I don't think so. Haochuang has a deep accumulation, but it has been relying on its old roots for the past few years without any innovation. The Hengyuan Hotel is different. The business has been getting better and better in the past few years, and the boss has the courage to make money. It is said that In the past two years, the hotel has recruited several special first-level and second-level chefs, and specially invited those retired masters who have participated in state banquets to come to the hotel for food guidance discussions."

The guy with the glasses spat, "Damn it, Hao Chuang Hotel is not on its laurels. This year, it is planning to rectify. The boss is still very tactful. Besides, Hengyuan has undergone a one-time major change. It is said that many of the old employees of the hotel have been opened, which has made them famous. It all stinks. Also, Er Fatty, why don’t you brag to the sky, can the retired master of the state banquet come to our Jianghai? Come to Hengyuan? Are you sure it’s not funny, those people stay in the imperial capital all day long.”

Er Fatty was blocked so that the curtain was green and white, and he said stubbornly, "Anyway, anyway, I guess Hengyuan will definitely win."

Just after saying this, Er Fatty glanced at the arena, then suddenly nudged the eye-eyed boy, and said, "Hey, look at the arena, the master of the Hengyuan Hotel rolls the dumpling wrappers at an incredible speed. "
