The original ingredient used for the dish of Braised Shark's Fin was not chicken wings, but shark fins.
Although Ye Chui once said that shark fin, a high-end ingredient, tastes like vermicelli, this is certainly not the case. As a representative of noble ingredients, shark fin has its own unique taste, not to mention being rich in nutrients. If properly prepared, it is absolutely a supreme delicacy.
The dish of Braised Shark's Fin in Yellow is a famous dish among the dishes made of shark's fin.
This is a dish of the Tan family, which enjoys a high reputation in the country and is a famous official dish. The so-called official dish is also known as bureaucrat and scholar-official dish. In short, this kind of dish is the dish that officials used to make when entertaining colleagues or officials with higher positions than themselves. It is exquisite and uses carefully selected ingredients, but Ye Chui replaced shark fin with chicken wings.
Chicken wings can never be compared with chicken wings.
The reason why Ye Chui did this was obvious - if Qin Yiyue wanted to use chicken wings to cook, then Ye Chui would also use chicken wings. He wanted to defeat Qin Yiyue when he had the upper hand.
Qin Yiyue wanted to challenge Ye Chui to prove his courage. He had already completely lost the mood to challenge Ye Chui, so he had to take on this challenge to find himself again. If he won this challenge, he would naturally leave Manhan Building directly, and this was obviously not what Ye Chui wanted to see.
Whether for the sake of Manhanlou's business or to face this challenge with sincerity, Ye Chui will use his best cooking skills to deal with Qin Yiyue, which is also a respect for Qin Yiyue.
He learned that Qin Yiyue was going to use chicken wings to cook, so he chose to use chicken wings instead of shark fins. This was all he needed to do to deal with Qin Yiyue. His contempt was a display of strength.
He used this method because he really wanted to win the game.
Qin Yiyue understood Ye Chui's plan. Without any other expression on her face, she silently began to cook her dishes.
Honey BBQ Pork, as the name suggests, is a combination of honey and barbecued pork. Honey is an ingredient that is used in many dishes for seasoning. The sweet and fresh taste of honey can greatly enhance the beauty of food, and using it for grilling will greatly enhance the taste of the ingredients.
The chicken wings must first be marinated to make the salt more flavorful, but this process is usually quite long, but Qin Yiyue directly speeds up the process by massaging the chicken wings, allowing the salt to fully penetrate into the chicken wings.
Then grill the chicken wings on charcoal fire. When the surface is slightly hard, apply a layer of honey on them. Let the honey dry and harden on the surface of the chicken wings. Carefully remove the honey. The chicken wings will emit hot steam when heated, but the heat is blocked by the honey on the surface and some of the sweetness of the honey will re-enter the chicken wings, adding a bit of honey aroma to the taste of the chicken wings. This is the wonderful thing about honey barbecued pork.
This method is not complicated. However, Qin Yiyue did it very seriously. He only grilled two or three chicken wings each time, and stopped only after the plate was filled with ten chicken wings. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and finished his dish.
Only then did he look at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui was looking at the porcelain pot on the stove in front of him, staring at the thick smoke coming out of the pot.
The word "yellow" in "huangmian" refers to the fact that the dish used to stew the chicken wings contains Huadiao wine.
Huadiao wine belongs to yellow wine and is a specialty of the Han nationality with a long history of 6,000 years. When Ye Chui prepared Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he also used Huadiao wine as one of the main seasonings.
There were some Huadiao wine on the island, but the quality was not very good, so Ye Chui could only make do with it.
To make the second-place braised chicken wings, you first need to fry the chicken wings a little, then put Huadiao wine in a porcelain pot and boil it over high heat. When the aroma of Huadiao wine is overflowing, add soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, salt and other items. The next step is to simmer for a long time, so that the flavors of Huadiao wine and various condiments can fully enter the chicken wings. After boiling for 20 minutes over high heat, pour half a bottle of wine into the porcelain pot and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat. This dish is considered to be done.
The chicken wings stewed in this way have a strong aroma of wine, but the wine taste is not pungent, and the unique aroma of chicken wings is retained, which is refreshing and fragrant. Take the chicken wings out of the soup and place them on the dining table, and the dish is ready.
The next step was to taste the food, but at this moment Ye Chui thought of something and couldn't help but be stunned.
There are a total of 100 judges for this competition, and each of these 100 gourmets will taste each of their dishes...
Doesn't that mean that a hundred people have to share ten chicken wings
How to divide this
The organizers of the Super Chef Competition seemed to have been fully prepared. After Ye Chui and Qin Yiyue announced that the dishes were ready, twenty waiters immediately came running from the back. They were all wearing white waiter suits and looked meticulous. Holding knives and forks in their hands, they began to divide the chicken wings equally in unison.
Dividing each chicken wing into ten equal parts is definitely a technical job, but these waiters are very familiar with it - after knowing that Ye Chui and Qin Yiyue were going to prepare chicken wings, they quickly trained, had a detailed understanding of the structure of chicken wings, and made detailed plans. They practiced how to divide the chicken wings into ten equal parts, and finally put the chicken wings into a small dish and quickly served them to each gourmet judge.
A chicken wing is divided into ten portions, and each portion is just a little bit of meat...
The scene is somewhat humorous, but the waiters' uniform movements unexpectedly give people a sense of seriousness.
These one hundred gourmets can be said to be the world's top chefs, and they don't even need to take more than a few bites of the dishes.
Watching the hundred judges tasting the chicken wings, Ye Chui's face was relatively calm, but Qin Yiyue was somewhat nervous. This was not the first time he challenged Ye Chui, but this was the most solemn one. Moreover, he knew that this might be the last time he had the courage to challenge Ye Chui in front of so many people...
So, he must win.
The people in the audience were also very curious.
"Isn't Qin Yiyue Ye Chui's man? Why would he challenge Ye Chui in this match?"
"Maybe... Qin Yiyue deliberately wanted to help Ye Chui in the next game?"
"Not necessarily. I don't think Ye Shishen is that kind of person. Besides, I saw that Master Qin was very serious when cooking..."
"I really don't understand, but seeing that Master Qin dared to challenge Master Ye, I think he must have his own reasons..."
Some Chinese people were talking about it.
Han Yuyan, Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian and others were also very nervous at this time. Their mood was even more complicated. No matter who won or lost, they would feel disappointed to some extent.
In this case, the 100 gourmets finally tasted the two dishes thoroughly, and then voted to judge which dish was better... (~^~)
