Shiji Starts from the Beginning of the Month

The tofu is steamed with the heat from the soup, so that the gaps between the tofu are filled with the essence of pork and cabbage that has been stewed into the soup.

The original simple steamed tofu suddenly turned into an excellent dish that condenses the essence of pork and cabbage.

When steaming tofu, it is very important to control the temperature.

The so-called temperature control, of course, is to control the size of the firepower.

If the firepower is too high, the speed of steam transpiration is too fast, and the air pressure rises too fast, which may compress the tofu and destroy its original taste.

The firepower is too low, the air pressure in the steamer is not enough, and the tofu cannot taste!

In order to retain the original taste closer to the countryside, Jiang Xia did not use gas to start the fire, but firewood.

Therefore, he needs to use a blast pipe to blow air to control the intensity of the fire in the stove.

And his action of lying in front of the stove attracted ridicule from a small group of Yuanyue students.

"No way, what age is this, and someone still uses such an old-fashioned way of lighting fire?"

"Even if you want to cook with the aroma of firewood, just use the prepared essential oil directly?"

In the last century of Sakura Country, social science and technology developed so fast that they eliminated old things to a very high degree.

Gas and induction cookers quickly eliminated firewood, and some more traditional cooking methods were also abandoned by people in big cities.

However, no matter how the essential oil is extracted, or how the aroma of firewood rice is imitated, it is impossible to completely restore the original farmland atmosphere.

Jiang Xia couldn't hear the discussions and conversations of the students below.

Even if he heard it, he would not have any reaction.

As a chef, he only needs to make his own dishes.

Everything else, including those pretentious and face-slapping words, should be left to the cuisine itself to tell.

5 minutes on high heat, 15 minutes on low heat!

In the steamer, the smell of meaty tofu has overflowed from the gaps between the bamboo weaves on both sides.

On the opposite side of Jiang Xia, Jiuga Zhaoji has already completed the last step of mapo tofu.

Take the tofu out of the pot and put it on a plate, and a spicy aroma wafts through the venue.

"My dish, Mapo Tofu, is finished!"

Jiu Wo Zhaoji glanced at Jiang Xia proudly, hum, tell you to waste your time disturbing me, now my cooking is finished, but what about yours?

Moreover, this time, it was the best time Jiugao Shiuji felt that he had done it.

I feel that some of the previous problems, this time under the reminder of Jiang Xia's words, are actually solved.

In fact, Jiu I Zhaoji now feels in his heart a little bit that Jiang Xia is indeed quite capable, and he is teaching Huaxia cuisine.

However, as the halberd of the competition, he will never lose!

The big deal, after Jiang Xia was defeated by him, he reluctantly made it difficult for him, and graciously withdrew his request for him to resign from Yuanyue.

Then drag him to the Chinese Cuisine Research Association as an instructor!

It's within ten seconds of serving the food here.

In his heart, Teruji Kuga has begun to conceive the scene of his own Chinese cuisine that dominates the country of cherry blossoms, and the scene of fighting against the local chefs in the far east China.

Mapo tofu was served in front of the three judges.

From left to right, in order, the chef who can't laugh - Roland Schapper, the demon king of food - Totsuki's commander Nakiri Senzaemon, and a middle-aged woman who did not appear in the original work .

Middle-aged women wear some expensive jewelry, which can be guessed at a glance.

She should be a very rich rich woman.

"Now, let the three judges first taste Teruki Kuga's dish - special mapo tofu."

Chapter 27 is really ridiculous

Looking at the red and steaming plate of tofu in front of him, Roland Chapelle trembled involuntarily.

Just by looking at it, one can feel the domineering atmosphere in the cooking. He is a chef who mainly studies hair style cooking. This is the first time for Roland Chapelle to try this kind of posture.

However, as a cook, of course, you will not give up the opportunity to taste every dish.

Use a spoon to carefully pick up a small piece of tofu that doesn't look so bright red on the side, and put it into your mouth.

This is!

Roland Chapelle wanted to say something, but a strong spicy feeling made him completely forget how to speak.

This dish, like a boxer, is launching a flood of attacks against him!

Parry, counterattack, fight each other!

There is no chance for people to speak at all, everything needs to wait until the winner is determined!

Roland Chapelle couldn't help but took another big mouthful. This time, he didn't deliberately choose the less spicy part!

One mouthful after another, the spicy taste keeps superimposing in the mouth.

"Look, Mr. Roland Schapper's expression has changed."

Students with sharp eyes noticed something strange.

You know, this is Mr. Roland Chapelle who claims to not be able to laugh. On weekdays, what the students see the most is Roland Chapelle's face that is comparable to facial paralysis.

However, the current Roland Chapelle, who was sweating profusely after eating and extremely satisfied, actually showed a cheerful expression.

"This kind of cuisine is really shocking. Now, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to have any interest in tasting other dishes."

Roland Chapelle patted his stuffed stomach and sighed.

Hearing what he said, the richly dressed woman nodded in agreement.

"That's right, as expected of Yuanyue Top Ten, and only places like Yuanyue can cultivate such excellent cooks."

While talking, the woman also took a good look at the position of the commander-in-chief Nakiri Senzaemon.

The commander-in-chief didn't speak, but his torn clothes were already the highest evaluation of the food in front of him!

As one of the top ten, Kuga Teruki deserves such an evaluation!

"I think it's all right here, after all, I'm not in the mood to taste other dishes at all."

The wealthy woman glanced at Jiang Xia's position, and the latter seemed to have already prepared the dishes and was putting them on the plate.

Women don't have much interest in Jiang Xia. She came to Yuanyue this time for other purposes.

Being able to participate in a halberd-eating competition with the presence of ten heroes will help her to a certain extent.

As for Jiang Xia, a new teacher, he doesn't have much reputation yet, so it's not worth her cursing.

And the woman really thinks that before the taste of mapo tofu has dissipated, there will be no other cuisine in this world that can interest her!

However, the commander-in-chief did not announce the end, and the woman could only sit obediently in her seat.

Roland Schapper looked at Senzaemon next to him.

"The commander-in-chief seems to be very optimistic about this new Huaxia cooking teacher?"

Roland Schapper has been in Yuanyue for half his life, and his qualifications can be said to be a very old group of teachers. Naturally, he can directly express his confusion directly to his face.

"Schapper, of course I am optimistic about the teacher I personally invited. Don't forget that Mapo Tofu is also in his field of expertise. I am waiting for him to bring me a little surprise for this old man."

Hearing the coach's answer, Roland Schapper stopped talking. He was also a little curious about the person who could make the coach look forward to.

Three dishes from Jiang Xia's side were placed in front of the judges.

See what's on the plate.

The wealthy woman looked extremely surprised as if she had seen something special.

"For this competition, you brought out two pieces of tofu?"

The woman subconsciously expressed her confusion.

In the middle of the plate are two pieces of tofu that have been steamed before, one is soft tofu and the other is firm tofu.

"of course not."

Jiang Xia answered with a smile.

"This is not the final form of my cooking!"

Jiang Xia took out a small bottle from his pocket, and added a little of the contents of the bottle next to the three plates of tofu.

Immediately, a strange sour smell filled all around.

"This is? Kimchi?"

The woman stared at the small lump on the side of the plate.

"It can be said to be a kind of pickle, this is sauerkraut."

Jiang Xia explained.

Sauerkraut, a food found almost everywhere in China.

It extends the vegetables with a short shelf life to a long life, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people.

As the old saying goes, a bowl of sauerkraut is a bowl of rice.

As a food alone, sauerkraut has conquered countless diners with its unique taste.

It is similar to the method of making kimchi.

Sauerkraut also needs to be fermented, so that certain macromolecular substances in vegetables will decompose and deteriorate under this chemical action!

Afterwards, filter and seal the tank, and then mix with some personal favorite seasonings, and the rest needs to be left to time.

The quality of a tank of sauerkraut lies in the sour water used when making sauerkraut.

For the sake of health, sour water is no longer used in many modern places, but only salt water is used to soak cooked vegetables.

However, the taste produced in this way is not as pure and strong as that of the older generation who used acid water to assist.

Sour water is the juice that was drained when making sauerkraut last time. Add a spoonful when sealing the tank, and the taste of the product will be corrected!

In some old villages, every household will store a tank of acid water. The longer it is stored, the more mellow the flavor will be.

The old altar of sauerkraut is talking about this thing.
