Chapter 309: Glutinous Rice

At noon, Jiang Yang went to eat some food and came to the competition venue again.

After waiting for a long time, today's third match began.

Chefs came to the stage one by one, and Jiang Yang noticed a female chef.

Although the chef industry is more suitable for men, there are also many female chefs.Ren Bao'e, whom Jiang Yang met in Zhucheng, was a female chef.

As for the qualifiers in Sichuan Province, there were actually quite a few female chefs who signed up, but... not as many as male chefs.

What caught Jiang Yang's attention was not that this was a female chef, but the female chef's actions.

Yes, this chef moves.

As soon as the so-called expert makes a move, you will know if there is any.

A layman may not be able to see it, but an expert like Jiang Yang can tell at a glance that this female chef has a very calm temperament in her movements, which is usually only found in experienced chefs.

The female cook's number is 28.

"Teacher Bairang, how about you estimate this match!"

"Haha, the chef can't be sure before making a dish. Of course, it's okay to make an estimate. Let me see..."

"Teacher Bai Rang is right. The chef can only be judged by the dishes he cooks."

"I think the performance on the 28th should be good."

"Oh? What does Teacher Bairang think? Why do you think that today's performance on the 28th will be good?"

"Well, I can only just feel it. There is no specific statement, it's just a personal feeling. Just listen to it. Hahaha..."

…………

Jiang Yang actually agrees with that Zhang Bairang's point of view. There is really no specific way to say this kind of thing, I can only talk about my personal feelings.

This No. 28 female chef gave Jiang Yang a very strong feeling. This chef's cooking skills must be good!

Time passed slowly, and the two commentators were also explaining the game, and popularizing these dishes from time to time.

This is the advantage of gourmet commentators. Their eloquence may not be as good as professional commentators, but when it comes to professional theory, they are no worse than chefs.It can even be said that they have deeper theoretical insights than most chefs.

Soon, the dishes of female chef No. 28 that Jiang Yang was concerned about were also ready.

The distance is a little far, and Jiang Yang can't see clearly.

Fortunately, there is a big screen, so Jiang Yang can see clearly.

This is a sticky rice!

The production of glutinous rice is actually not too difficult. Soak the glutinous rice for a period of time and steam it on a steamer.

It's simple to say, but in practice, there are a lot of things to pay attention to.

For example, how long should glutinous rice be soaked, and how long should it be steamed.They are all particular.

If one step goes wrong, the texture and taste of the whole dish will be affected.

The glutinous rice cooked by this female chef is really beautiful. The whole glutinous rice is in the shape of a semicircle.

On the top of the glutinous rice, there is a bright red cherry.

Around the cherry, there are four goji berries dotted, and some black sesame seeds are sprinkled in the middle of the goji berries.

Around, the orange peel looks like pieces of amber, scattered on the glutinous rice.

On one side of the glutinous rice, there are red dates inlaid like a fan.

The whole glutinous rice is like a white jade crown, and the cherry on top is the ruby ​​on the crown.

"Is this glutinous rice?" Xu Zheng was taken aback. Among the chefs participating in the competition, there were those who cooked fish, and there were also those who cooked roasted white and steamed meat. However, the one who made glutinous rice was the first one today.

"This little girl is Lao Ding's granddaughter, right?" Chen Quanzhou recognized it.

"It's my granddaughter, can I avoid suspicion?" Lao Ding waved his hand.

However, I am very satisfied to see the dishes prepared by my granddaughter.

"No, no, there are a few of you who are not related to us. If you avoid suspicion, then we don't have to be the judges. Your old man is not going to be selfish for your granddaughter." Jiang Lao said with a smile.

"Hey, what Jiang Lao said is true." Lao Ding smiled.

The reason why people are not worried about favoritism is very simple. Chefs always rely on their craftsmanship to speak, even if they are favoritism, they may harm that person in the end.

Sometimes, not only will not favoritism, but will be more strict.

"Okay, girl Ding, bring it here for us old men to taste." Old Liao said.

"Okay, Grandpa Liao." The chef surnamed Ding said with a smile.

……

Mr. Jiang put down his chopsticks and said, "The glutinous rice tastes soft and glutinous, and the sweetness is well controlled, neither too sweet nor too bland. The point is that this glutinous rice not only has the taste of glutinous rice, but also some other flavors. Girl Ding, can you tell me how this is done?"

Chef Ding pursed his lips: "I added the water that boiled red dates and orange peels into the water for soaking the glutinous rice, so the glutinous rice made in the end has a very light taste of red dates and orange peels."

"That's right, very thoughtful. But... red dates and orange peels have natural pigments, how do you make this glutinous rice so white?" Old Jiang said.

"Actually, I didn't remove the pigment, but wrapped it with a layer of glutinous rice soaked in water." Chef Ding said.

Jiang Lao picked it up, and there was indeed light yellow glutinous rice under the white glutinous rice.

"That's right, I didn't look carefully, and I haven't found it yet." Elder Jiang nodded.

"Then let me talk about the shortcomings." Lao Ding said.

"It is a good idea to incorporate the taste of red dates and orange peel into glutinous rice. But the disadvantage is also quite obvious, that is, the taste of glutinous rice itself has been covered up a lot. This new taste not only does not enhance the taste of glutinous rice itself However, it is superfluous, covering up the taste of glutinous rice itself.”

Chef Ding lowered his head when he was told.

"Okay, I've said all the advantages and disadvantages, let's start scoring." Old Chen said.

All the culinary masters nodded.

"Okay, we see that player No. 28's final score is... 88 points!" Yunjie announced.

At the same time, I was a little excited: "This is the highest score so far. In the next competition, will there be any dishes that exceed this score? Let's wait and see!"

Jiang Yang thought to himself, it really is not easy, this female chef!

The competition continued. Except for this female chef, the best cooks in the back were around [-] points, and none of them scored [-] points.Many others just took a passing grade.

Jiang Yang counted silently in his heart, and now there are only 5 chefs with [-] points.

Among them, the female chef was the highest with 88 points!Followed by a chef in the morning with 82 points.The last three are all 80 points.

It seems that the scoring of this competition is really strict.

There are 140 young chefs, but none of them are in their [-]s.

Jiang Yang looked at the sky, it was getting late.

He got up and left here.

Today, there is no need to think about the opening of the store, nor about Meng Wanqiu's coming to eat.

Ever since Mother Meng returned home, Meng Wanqiu no longer came to dinner.

Jiang Yang has no objection to this. If he doesn't go home to accompany his parents, why should he come to accompany himself, an outsider?
Wandering around to the vegetable market, Jiang Yang reluctantly bought some meat.

He will go back to try the tamales this evening.
