Chapter 998: The First Score of the Seafood Alliance
"It looks delicious, the original flavor is so delicious, I don't know how this spicy one is. Wang Xiang stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his mouth in anticipation.
Yes, Wang Xiang is right, Yuanzhou's crab dumplings are actually two flavors, soaked in the red soup is spicy, and the noodles are the original flavor, without any seasoning, all rely on the original crab meat.
The key is that these two tastes do not affect each other, but do not interfere with each other.
As soon as this spicy crab is in the mouth, the spicy feeling wrapped in the outer layer sweeps through the mouth, and it is not until the outer layer melts in the mouth, revealing the tender crab meat inside, that a trace of deliciousness slowly spreads.
"Haw, haw," Wang Xiang began to chew.
At the beginning, chewing crab meat was fused twice in the mouth, spicy with a fragrance that could not be ignored, and the crab meat had a fresh and sweet feeling, and for a while it really responded to Zhang Dai's sentence that crab meat can have all five flavors without salt and vinegar, and wave after wave made Wang Xiang's mouth not idle at all.
This spicy crab meat is very domineering, directly occupying all the taste buds in the mouth, making people dizzy.
"Hiss, wonderful, delicious. Wang Xiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I didn't even know this Dungeness crab could be so delicious. Bai Xiaoxiao also nodded on the side.
No, Bai Xiaoxiao is the king of seafood, he has never eaten any good seafood, but the Dungeness crab made by Yuan Zhou made him feel that the Dungeness crabs he ate before were fake Dungeness crabs.
"With both the freshness of lake crabs and the flexibility of sea crabs, the meat made of this Dungeness crab is smooth and tender, fat and has the aroma of crab roe, which is really good. Zhang Yan also said: "I don't know how to handle the ingredients." ”
"It's just too little. Zhang Yan then added.
"Don't blame me, you've seen the size of my crab. Bai Xiaoxiao was still unsatisfied, but he still clarified to himself.
Only then did a few people look at the plate where only the crab shell was left, the crab shell was larger than the fist of an adult man, and it was indeed not small.
The meat removed from such a large crab must be at least a pound.
And just after a while, there were only crab shells left on the plates that several people had already eaten.
"We ate so much crab meat?" several people couldn't help but ask the same question in their hearts.
Then a few people thought of an explanation for themselves: "It must be that Chef Yuan has done too little, how can such a little be enough for four adult men to eat, after all, we are in the prime of life, and it is normal to eat more." ”
Yes, the four completely forgot that they had already eaten six dishes before.
"Ahem, the next one, roll the crab balls. Zhou Shijie made a fist with his hand and coughed lightly.
"yes, it's time for the last course. Zhang Yan nodded, and didn't dwell on the things that didn't have enough to eat, the business was important.
"Hmm. Wang Xiang thought that after the game, he would go to the Yuanzhou shop to make up for his empty stomach, and he didn't bother.
"Fortunately, I heard that Chef Yuan opened a store after the competition, which is really dedicated. Wang Xiang was happy and emotional.
He couldn't remember at all that when he heard that Yuan Zhou had just opened a shop after the competition, he thought that Yuan Zhou was being reckless and disrespecting the competition, after all, cooking all over again is not an easy job, let alone a cooking competition that requires mental effort.
"I don't know when I'll get the king crab, then I should have enough to eat. Bai Xiaoxiao tasted the sweet taste in his mouth and came up with the idea of the crab king, which will be auctioned every year.
As the king of seafood, Bai Xiaoxiao knows that every year on the day of the Dungeness crab on the market, the crab king will be selected and then auctioned, and last year's crab king weighed five catties and two taels.
"It's your turn, Chef Zuo. Chef Li reminded.
"Hmm. Chef Zuo stared at the judges' table with a serious face.
"It's definitely no problem, but we used chicken and goose broth to temper the fishy smell and roughness of this sea crab. Ao Pi said.
The boiling crab dumplings are made by dismantling the crab meat and making small pearl-like balls around the golden red shell, topped with red broth, and decorated with peach petal-like duck tongue for seasoning and decoration.
There is also a complete crab carved from a carrot on the side, one large and one small, echoing each other, like peach petals falling on a pearl, and the two crabs on the side are playing in such a beautiful scene.
From the point of view of appearance, this is a very good dish, Yuanzhou's presentation is simple and clear, and this dish is magnificent and beautiful, from the presentation of the two main dishes to the same extent.
After all, it is two experienced chefs working together, and this skill is still there.
"One for each person. Zhou Shijie said.
As soon as the words fell, several people began to stretch out their chopsticks and began to clamp them.
The crab dumplings cooked in chicken and goose broth are poured with a spicy and spicy sauce, and the taste is layered and novel.
In addition, the chicken and goose broth suppresses the overly delicious and greasy feeling brought by too much crab meat, and the spicy texture makes the taste rich.
The duck tongue is eaten with crab balls, and it has a hint of chewiness, which is a fun experience.
The premise is that this dish is not compared with the crab dumplings made by Yuan Zhou.
As soon as we compared, the judges had the following conversation.
"Well, it's okay. Wang Xiang said pertinently.
"Not bad. Bai Xiaoxiao was a little absent-minded, thinking about the crab king.
waited until several people had tasted it before Zhou Shijie spoke: "Since the dishes are all finished, let's go back to the seat and prepare to show the score." ”
"Okay. Zhang Yan nodded, and then took a step behind Zhou Shijie and began to return to the judges' seat.
"The judges have started to return to the judging bench, and it seems that the judges have their own scores. The host said in a high voice.
"Then let's take a five-minute break, and in five minutes we will immediately reveal the ratings of both sides in this game. After the host finished speaking, he stepped back first, ready to take a break and drink saliva.
After all, it's still tiring to be a host who has no sense of existence and has to be on the scene all the time.
"Whew, it's finally time to take a break. "Someone in the Seafood Alliance breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, I'm still nervous. "Almost all of the people who talked and chatted behind were the second chefs brought by the Seafood Alliance.
"In five minutes, the demonstration store is about to change hands. Chef Li looked at the judges' seat with confidence, especially Bai Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiang, who closed their eyes and looked quietly.
"Looks like we're done. Ao Pi was excited when he thought that Yuan Zhou would apologize to him.
It felt like holding a girl's hand for the first time, excited and impulsive.
"What do you think. Chef Zuo saw that Chef Li and Ao Pi seemed to be in a good prospect, and couldn't help but ask Liu Jie on the side.
"I don't know, but my squid doesn't know what the score is. Liu Jie has always been obsessed with his squid not being eaten.
Chef Zuo didn't ask any more questions, just looked up at Yuan Zhou.
"Can you win. Chef Zuo couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.
The red and blue sides were waiting for the results, and Zhou Shijie and others would whisper from time to time, and in the second half of the five minutes, the discussion between the four became slightly intense.
Chef Li thought to himself, Yuan Zhou still has the ability, and the judges have been discussing for so long, which proves that the gap is still not big. Think about it, you know that if the gap is large, there will be results in minutes, so why use this.
Think about it, Yuan Zhou can do a good job in the field of seafood that he is not good at, let alone the dishes he is good at.
"Luckily, I chose seafood, if it was any other cuisine, it would be too hanging. Chef Li was smug.
Just when Chef Li's mind was turning and turning a thousand times, five minutes had passed, and the judges' discussion had stopped.
"Okay, five minutes have passed, and now the judges have the results, so let's start to reveal the scores. The host jumped out at the right time to start with a lively atmosphere.
"Can the scores be revealed now?" the host asked the main judges, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan.
"Yes. This time it was Zhou Shijie who answered.
"Okay, then let's start with the first course, spicy pipi shrimp, and please rate the dishes of Chef Li of the Seafood Alliance. "This time, when the host asked for scores, it started with the Seafood League.
