Since the start of the God of Cooking Competition, it was not well-known at the beginning.
It wasn't until steamed Sophora japonica became popular in the capital that more people came to see it this time.
Not only the common people, but also the little emperor and others who heard the news.
The little chef who made the steamed Sophora japonica is also stereotyped in some people's minds, thinking that she can only cook the most homely dishes, and she can't cook big dishes at all.
Even if it's your own home.
But this is a God of Cooking competition, so it is inevitable that you can only cook home-cooked dishes.
Now it's the fourth round of the competition, but she has never done big fish and meat, river fresh seafood before.
It is completely different from the chef in everyone's mind.
It's also just right.
During the fourth round of the competition, Su Tang was going to make squirrel mandarin fish.
So when she scraped the fish scales neatly, many people were a little surprised.
Could it be that this little cook can cook fish and meat dishes
Or is she just here to support the scene
"Did she hear the rumors?"
"I don't know, but can she really cook fish? Fish is so fishy, it's hard to handle."
"I know her. I live in Xicheng and there is an early breakfast shop. The breakfast is amazing. I wish I could eat there every day. But she obviously only cooks breakfast."
"Huh? Her breakfast is really so delicious? Where is the address? I want to try it too."
The onlookers shared the address while watching Sutang handle the fish.
Most importantly, just like the previous games, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Su Tang's hands.
It seems that watching her handle fish is a kind of enjoyment.
Su Tang cleaned the fish scales neatly. After washing, he chopped off the fish head with one knife and put it aside.
This action caused many people to retreat subconsciously.
Su Tang looks small, this action is really scary!
Qi Tianyun and the little emperor came over and saw this scene.
Qi Tianyun was also helpless, Shi Ding and the emperor must watch Su Tang cook at close range, originally he could stop it.
But thinking of Su Tang, he still nodded.
So the three of them stood at the front.
Some people complained from behind, how could these three people be unreasonable!
They still don't know that the person they are complaining about is the emperor, Lord Hou, and the little general.
The little emperor smiled embarrassedly, and tried to look sideways so that the people behind could see it.
After Su Tang chopped off the head of the fish, he washed the fish again, and then split the fish in half, but the tail was not separated, and the whole fish was still connected.
After this action, Su Tang completed it in one go, and directly removed the complete fish bones.
As soon as she took out the fish bones, there was a burst of exclamation from around.
ah? ?
What did they see! ! !
Fish bones completely removed
How can this be.
Obviously Su Tang didn't do anything special, but the fish bones just fell off!
God, everyone knows what is the most annoying thing about eating fish
That must be fish bones
But now
Su Tang looked focused and continued with the work in hand.
This is the most important step for squirrel mandarin fish.
The fish meat after removing the fish bone became very soft. Su Tang cut the flower knife from the inside of the fish meat, that is, several cuts horizontally and vertically, and it looked as if it had bloomed.
The movement should be gentle, and the fish skin on the back should not be broken, otherwise it will not be easy to fry after a while.
After these actions are done, put the sliced mandarin fish into white wine for marinating, and put a spice packet wrapped in fine gauze in the white wine.
Su Tang handled two fish in a row, and his movements became more and more beautiful, making people reluctant to blink.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Tang took out the mandarin fish from the white wine and sucked it clean. Now the fish had no fishy smell at all, only the freshness of the fish.
Then control the moisture on the surface of the fish, put it directly into the adjusted egg starch, and roll it in a circle. Make sure the fish is all starched.
The fish head chopped off next to it was treated in the same way.
The two battered mandarin fish were placed on the plate, waiting to line up for the oil pan.
When the oil pan is not rolling, fry it directly for the first time, because Su Tang controls the shape well, a cut fish immediately fixes its shape, and the fish that has been cut with a flower knife seems to have really blossomed , like the body of a little squirrel.
The golden yellow egg starch makes the color more beautiful.
This is not over yet. After the first frying, Su Tang fried the two fish again, so that the taste will be more crispy and delicious.
The two fried fish began to emit fragrance.
Let the surrounding people swallow their saliva!
Does Su Tang make fried fish? This is too fragrant, why is the fried fish at home not so fragrant
But if it’s just fried fish, it seems that it only looks better
But Su Tang didn't stop the work in hand, but immediately set up a pan to heat the oil, stir-fried the ginger and garlic neatly, and then poured the prepared sweet and sour sauce and a little soy sauce into it.
Su Tang also added red leaf juice to make the color gradually better.
Finally, add green beans and soybeans, salt, various seasonings, pour water and start to collect the juice.
This kind of sauce is so fragrant that it can be eaten directly with rice!
But now it's all poured on the fried fish, a little bit of arranging the plate, the fried fish head is in front, then the fish body with a knife, and then the raised fish tail.
The bright red sauce is sprinkled on the fish, and there are green beans and soybeans as decorations.
looks great!
Fish can also be done so beautifully!
It completely changed the shape of the fish!
People who have eaten many delicacies can already imagine the taste of this fish at this time.
A lot of fish that has been marinated in the sauce is fried in a frying pan, and the taste must be amazing.
This is not the end, after the perfect sauce is added, the taste of this fish will definitely be richer.
I can't think about it anymore, I will swallow my saliva if I think about it again.
But now I'm drooling!
Because it tastes so delicious! ! !
Su Tang finished cooking squirrel mandarin fish, and cleaned the stove without leaving a drop of water.
After finishing all this, she looked up to find the judges. Her dishes were ready and ready to be served.
Because it has reached the fourth round of the competition, the current selection method has changed. Everyone prepares the dishes and waits for the guards to bring the dishes to the front table.
In this way, the voting is more fair, and the judges can give the result according to whether it is delicious or not.
After taking away the two squirrel mandarin fish, Su Tang subconsciously glanced at the onlookers.
I actually saw Mr. Qi, his cousin, and Mr. Qi's friends here again.
Qi Tianyun nodded towards her.
And the little emperor said directly: "It's really delicious."
He already wants to go back to the wing to eat!
Hearing these words, Su Tang had another thought, thinking that Mr. Qi is her biggest benefactor father now, and he also asked his subordinates to help her carry the steamer she bought.
Su Tang looked at the oil still in the pot, and said, "I don't have any fish here, so I can deep-fry soybeans and green beans for you."
After cooking the fish just now, there is still some left over, which happened to be soaked in water, which is very suitable for frying.
Anyway, it would be boring to wait for the result.
Might as well make some snacks.
Su Tang fished out the soybeans and green beans, put them in small bowls, and cleaned up the water with the soft paper she brought specially.
I just used this kind of paper to control the water for the fish.
I will buy more in the future, it is really convenient for kitchen use.
Thinking about it, Su Tang had already turned the stove to a low heat, and then put the soybeans in the pot first, and the crispy aroma of the fried soybeans came out in an instant.
When making noodles, it must be very delicious to put some soybeans in it.
Of course, it’s also good to keep it on hand as a snack.
After the soybeans and green beans are fried, add salt and pepper and stir well.
The fragrant fried soybeans and fried green beans are ready.
"Try it?" Su Tang put the snacks into the bowl he brought and handed them to the little emperor.
Of course, Su Tang didn't know that this was the emperor.
Otherwise, if you give her ten guts, she won't treat her like a child.
The emperor was not angry, but actually tasted it.
delicious!
It was crispy to the bite and delicious!
Shi Ding saw that the emperor had a pleasant look on his face, and he pinched his fingers into the bowl.
Oh my god, why is it so delicious!
It’s okay, the wine and food are the most suitable for the moment!
Fried soybeans Fried green beans, it looks simple to make, but the heat and the degree of frying are very important. Ordinary people can't fry it so well.
Pei Fuyin's eyes looked here vaguely.
These ancestors didn't sit in the side rooms, but went to the front. Anyway, Mr. Pei had already seen the dark face of the commander of the imperial army.
It will cause trouble for the commander of the imperial army!
But Qi Tianyun still had a sense of proportion, nodded to Su Tang and said, "We'll see you later."
With that said, take the person away directly.
A long line of people followed them and left, Su Tang felt more certain that these people had extraordinary identities.
But what does this have to do with her being an ordinary little cook.
She just needs to wait for the result of the competition with peace of mind!
A total of fifty people were present, divided into five groups, with four judges in each group.
If three judges nod, then the dish can be passed directly. Among a group of ten people, only six can enter the fifth round of competition.
And this time the judges didn't know who cooked which dish, eliminating the possibility of cheating.
Thinking about it this way inadvertently made the game more exciting.
All the dishes were finished, and the ten dishes from Su Tang's group were all on the table. Jing Liang happened to be in the same group as her, and said with a smile, "Are you nervous?"
Su Tang shook her head: "Don't be nervous, we will definitely get through."
Needless to say, if squirrel mandarin fish can't conquer people's taste buds, then there's nothing delicious about it.
As for Jingliang
As the young owner of Jingshui Building, he probably hasn't used his real skills yet.
Su Tang just said something casually, but Jing Liang's heart beat violently, as if something had changed.
But the rest was waiting for the results, and the actions of the judges took away Jing Liang's mind for a while.
The four judges from Su Tang's group walked to the table.
Ten plates of delicacies were placed in front of my eyes, and people couldn't help but praise them.
As expected of the chefs who have reached the fourth round, their income is really good now.
All the dishes here look delicious.
But how to judge specifically, we still have to taste it.
But the four judges present at the same time stretched their chopsticks into the squirrel-like plate.
Why
Because it looks so appetizing!
The ingredients here are obviously fish, but the shape is very different.
I don't know how it was made.
Anyway, just try it first!
And the onlookers also had their eyes on them.
Just now the common people watched Su Tang cooking, although they thought it was delicious, they had to taste the food to know.
Although they can't taste it, they can watch the judges eat it!
The judges were still reserved when they took a bite, but they were immediately speechless by the taste of the sweet and sour sauce combined with the crispy thickened and soft fish meat.
They have eaten sweet and sour sauces, food fried to a crisp, and fish.
But these flavors are wonderfully mixed together, and such a rich taste can be eaten with one chopstick.
too delicious!
It's really delicious!
