Dare to cook

Chapter 146 Master Siu Mai
At eight forty, the game started.

The referee announced the first question.The content of the competition is-seafood sashimi.

Seafood sashimi is actually sashimi.

It is also a sea fish platter that uses a variety of sea fish, sliced ​​into fish fillets, and then interspersed with bamboo sticks.

This competition question is very different from the seafood platter Lu Chenyu accepted yesterday.

The ingredients of the seafood platter can be any seafood, and the seafood can be cooked during processing.

But not seafood sashimi.

This dish can only use sea fish, and it can only be eaten raw.

After the referee announced the competition topic, Yao Yu and the other three contestants took action, choosing their favorite ingredients.

Yao Yu swiped with [Mingcha Qiuhao], and immediately picked out the best tuna, salmon, sea bream, flounder and sea bass.

After selecting the ingredients, Yao Yu kills the fish, removes the scales, slices, and strings the fish. The whole process is done in one go, which is dizzyingly fast.

After cutting all kinds of sea fish into slices as thin as cicada wings,
Yao Yu took out about two liters of ice cubes from the on-site refrigerator and crushed them into crushed ice with an ice shaving machine.

Make crushed ice and pour into fish dish.

Then, Yao Yu spread the sashimi regularly on the crushed ice on the plate.

The freshly killed sea fish has a strong fishy smell, so it will taste better after chilling it with crushed ice for a while, and then dipping it in sauce.

After the sashimi was placed on the plate, Yao Yu began to prepare the sauce.

For sashimi, the usual sauce is soy sauce, sea salt, wasabi, and at most a little garlic and ginger.

No need to overcomplicate the sauce.

Because sashimi is mainly eaten with the word "fresh", if the dipping sauce is too thick, it will not be delicious.

After adjusting the sauce, Yao Yu estimated the time and asked the staff to bring the sashimi to the judges' table.

At this time, the other three contestants had just cut the fish.

From the efficiency point of view, they are far behind Yao Yu.

Among the three people in the same group as Yao Yu, one is a chef from Titanium, and the other two are the top [-] in this year's Spring City competition area, and they are Northeast veterans from Kyrgyzstan.

The strength of the three of them can only be regarded as average in a prestigious competition where there are many experts.

Almost at the level of Ouyang Qing and Chen Shaoyong.

Not to mention Yao Yu, maybe any chef from the Jade Food List would be able to win against them.

"Hey, this game is nothing to watch."

"That's right, Lu Chenyu and Chen Duanrui had a lot of competition yesterday, but Yao Manzi's... is pure bullying."

"Now we can only see how many total points Yao Yu can score in a game."

"Do you think his total score can catch up with Lu Chenyu?"

"It's hard to say. However, it doesn't matter if you can't catch up with the score. Anyway, Dead Manzi has already chased Lu Chenyu. I heard that he will ask Lu Chenyu to go to the night market tonight."

"Fuck! How shameless!"

"Although I know it's useless to kill Yao Manzi, I still want to beat him up."

"Same feeling."

"+1."

"+10086."

In the auditorium, a group of chefs who admired and disliked Yao Yu whispered to each other.

In the arena, Yao Yu was not idle after handing in the sashimi.

At this time, there are still 10 minutes before the referee announces the second competition question.

Yao Yu planned to take advantage of this time to boil a pot of hot water, make some secret red oil, wake up a large dough, prepare some homemade fish sauce, soak some mushrooms and so on.

on the jury.

Chief judge Li Donglai had tasted Yao Yu's seafood sashimi and nodded approvingly.

Then, he glanced at Yao Yu in the distance, seeing that he had already made all kinds of preparations that might be needed, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

It seems that Yao Yu will not time out in this game...

Li Donglai thought to himself.

After 10 minutes, when Yao Yu felt sleepy, the referee finally announced the second question.

The title of the second competition question is - Siu Mai!
"You have lived a long life! Yao Manzi was actually able to draw a topic like siu mai!"

"Would the chef in Shencheng be afraid of cooking siu mai?"

"Crazy Yu simply won this question!"

"Reported and reported, there must be something shady here."

"Look, Yao Manzi not only prepared the dough in advance, but also soaked the mushrooms! Someone must have leaked the questions to him in advance!"

In the auditorium, several melon-eating chefs were discussing happily.

But this kind of complaint, everyone has heard it.

No one takes it seriously.

On the field, Yao Yu could not help but shrugged when he heard the questions clearly.

His previous level of white cases was indeed not good, but he was also not good among the ranks of famous chefs.

But with the system in place, Yao Yu's ability to make pasta and snacks is at least level 7.

Moreover, there are as many as 30 kinds of siu mai recipes left by the Yao family.

In the past, Yao Yu practiced hard for several months in order to master the more than 30 cooking methods.

Yao Yu himself was dubbed the Master of Shaomai by his bad friends because of his hard work on how to make Shaomai.

Now, since the organizer gave him such a sub-question, Yao Shaomai had no choice but to accept it and show his skills.

There are many types of Shaomai, which can be roughly divided into two categories: northern style and southern style.

Among them, the northern school uses more beef and mutton stuffing.

Southern siu mai mostly likes to use pork, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, glutinous rice, shrimp and other ingredients.

The siu mai that Yao Yu is best at is naturally Shencheng siu mai.

However, at this moment, he did not intend to make Shencheng Shaomai, but chose to make Straw Mushroom Shaomai.

Because making Shencheng Shaomai requires steamed glutinous rice.

And to steam a pot of glutinous rice, it takes at least 10 minutes.

In comparison, the method of straw mushroom siu mai is much easier and simpler.

The main ingredients of this siu mai are eggs, pork, shrimp and fresh straw mushrooms.If there is no straw mushroom, it is the same to replace it with other edible fungi.

In fact, in addition to straw mushroom siomai, there is also a very simple way to make siomai, and Yao Yu is also very good at it.

That kind of siu mai is called dry steamed siu mai, which belongs to Cantonese cuisine and is very common in morning teahouses in Yangcheng.

Just to make dry steamed siu mai, you must break the egg liquid into the flour.

If the egg liquid was to be mixed into the flour, then the dough that Yao Yu had woken up in advance would not be needed.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Yao Yu gave up the two methods of burning wheat that he was best at.

Anyway, if we use straw mushroom siu mai for the test, the score will not be much worse.

Wash the straw mushrooms, blanch them in boiling water, then take them out and rinse them with cold water for later use.

Mince lean pork and peeled shrimp, and chop straw mushrooms into fine pieces.

Stir the three ingredients together, then add salt, a small amount of soy sauce and beaten egg liquid, and continue to season.

After adjusting the fillings, it is time to make the siu mai skin.

The dough for making siu mai skin is ready-made. Yao Yu pressed it with his hands and found that the hardness was just right, so he directly dried the siu mai skin.

The siu mai skin is made, wrapped with fillings, and steamed in a steamer.

Yao Yu prepared some more balsamic vinegar dipping sauce, and then left the rest of the cooking process to time, waiting for the siu mai to come out of the pot.

It was like going on an outing with Yao Yu, while the other three players were obviously in a hurry.

Seeing his opponents looking a little helpless and anxious, Yao Yu, who could only wait for the Shaomai to come out of the pot, couldn't help but sigh softly: "There is no one who can fight."
