Chapter 369 Sea Fish Vs River Fish

"It has a strong aroma."

"The taste of all kinds of precious fungi is also extremely strong."

Some ignorant foreigners are asking: "How do these rare fungi compare with white truffles, and how do they compare with black truffles?"

There is no clear comparison here.

First of all, the prices of various rare fungi are not fixed, some things have a price but no market, and some things have a market but no price.

For example, bamboo fungus has a price, but you may not be able to pick it. When the farmers in the producing area are unlucky enough, you will not be able to eat bamboo fungus.

Another example is matsutake. The price depends entirely on the quality of the year. Although the annual output is about stable, it is really hard to say what the price will be.

There is also a huge price gap for truffles. There are six main production areas in the world, one of which is in Yunnan, China. The most expensive is white truffles produced in Italy, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands per kilogram. between.

If you really want to compare, it is about above bamboo fungus and matsutake.

These top-level fungi claim to be unable to be artificially cultivated. In fact, in many places around the world, these types of fungi have begun to be artificially cultivated, but there is a huge difference in taste between artificial products and natural products, just like ginseng. Artificially grown ginseng can be as big as 300-year-old top ginseng in the wild in ten years, and its medicinal effect is of course much worse. It is not a big problem to use it as a white radish stew.

Of course, the deficiency cannot be supplemented, and people with a strong yang fire drink white ginseng soup, just like drinking ten cups of coffee mixed with Red Bull, and cannot fall asleep at all.

Coincidentally, the Kenyan team used white truffle oil, or should I say, white truffle olive oil.

In modern times, it is normal for various chemical products to enter the kitchen, such as monosodium glutamate, and white truffle oil is actually a chemical product, which is used for seasoning.

White truffle olive oil is a kind of precious cooking oil soaked in olive oil with white truffle. Its usage is the same as that of olive oil, and it smells like rotten eggs or kerosene.

Nowadays, there are a lot of publicity and sales about Western food in the diet, but you can probably see the tricks in it at a glance.

For example, the price of olive oil is between [-] and [-] bottles, how can the price of white truffle olive oil be the same.

On the label, white truffle oil will be labeled as sauce, and white truffle olive oil will be labeled as cooking oil. This is the difference. If you buy it without paying attention, it is easy to be cheated.

Imagine spending 100 yuan to buy a bottle of MSG.But having said that, you can’t buy white truffle olive oil for 100 yuan. If you are interested in cooking with this oil, you can buy Yunnan truffle and try to make truffle olive oil yourself.

The method is not difficult. Heat the olive oil to [-]%, add garlic slices, remove the garlic after it deforms, put the pure oil in a bottle, and soak the cut truffle slices.

It is made from a mixture of seven kinds of fungi and served in soup water. Each soup pot has only three sections of ribs.

Fang Hong stood in front of several judges, waiting for them to try dishes.

A judge pulled down his Lakin-rimmed glasses: "I have a question."

"Say."

"As far as I know about cooking, all kinds of rare and precious fungi are more suitable for frying, so that their rich aroma can be released perfectly. In China, soup is more popular, right?"

"It's not popular, because our country has a long history of civilization, so the food culture has a long history. In history, most of the methods have been handed down. We can choose ancient methods to make, and there are also modern methods. Every improvement will form a new one. Cooking skills, Sichuan cuisine, which I am good at, has a total of 54 cooking methods, each of which has a different approach to the same material, and I just chose one to make it."

Just like soup, there are many ways to cook soup, stew, cook soup, and soak soup. Soup and stew are the most common, and there are quite a lot of soups. There are also many ways to make soup as a joke, such as milk soup Suhui is soaking.

Foreigners may not be able to understand these things. Fang Hong simply explained: "The theme I made today is called Shanzhen, which corresponds to seafood. All the more expensive ingredients on land are called Shanzhen. And cooking The method is to make soup, a total of three steps, after making it is not a soup, but a dish, if it is a soup, the focus is on drinking the soup, and the focus of this dish is on the food.”

"Shanzhen" has different meanings in different periods.The "Seven Treasures of Mountains" that the mountain people called at the earliest time included seven kinds of mountain products: bear's paw, elephant trunk, deer tendon, hump, bird's nest, bamboo fungus, and Hericium erinaceus.Later, someone divided them into "Eight Treasures of Animals" (bear paws, elephant trunks, deer tendons, humps, orangutan lips, deer tails, monkey brains, and leopard fetuses) and "Four Treasures of Plants" (that is, bamboo fungus, bird's nest, Mushrooms, white fungus).With the improvement of people's awareness of ecological and environmental protection, the so-called "mountain treasures" no longer refer to those rare animals, but to mountain products that are produced in mountainous areas and cultivated by mountain people in the natural ecological environment, such as mushrooms and bamboos. Sun, oyster mushroom, Tricholoma (white mushroom), pine nuts, chestnuts, torreya, ginkgo, walnuts, bamboo shoots, etc.

"Isn't this dish soup?"

Fang Hong couldn't explain it either: "This is a soup, and the stuff in it...you can't understand it if you weren't born in China." For example, white fungus soup, of course, is to drink soup, but like noodle soup, the focus is of course to eat noodles .

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." A judge said, "Since it's food, just try it."

Several people nodded in agreement.

Just eat, what nonsense.

Everyone who eats ostrich meat is enjoying it. This kind of meat is even more delicious than the top grilled steak, and white truffle olive oil is the most luxurious way to make steak. It is used on ostrich meat After that, as long as the chef is not stupid, the taste will not be bad.

White truffle olive oil smells very bad, but it will have a strong aroma when eaten, which also makes up for the lack of umami taste of red meat itself.

The so-called umami refers to fish and sheep, and umami tastes only when there is fishy smell. Therefore, umami taste and fragrance are a bit opposite.

And Fang Hong's ribs completely gave up such things as umami.

Shanzhen's approach is to achieve a mellow fragrance that makes people forget everything.

The rich aroma of various fungi, combined with the smoke of the pork ribs, makes people amazing.

The meat taste of the ribs is not good, but under the strong aroma, no one can notice this.

The only problem is that several judges are not used to spitting out the bones, so they insist on picking the meat and eating it.

During this process, both the judges and the diners were engrossed in the delicious food, and there was not much expression, only the low-pitched praise on the spot.

Fang Hong glanced at the Kenyan representative team: "It seems that their strength is very strong, no wonder they can come here."

In the end, both sides got S+ for the first dish, which was a good start.

Next, it's paper-wrapped trout against Wanzhou grilled fish, a battle between river fish and sea fish.
