Reborn – Super Chef

Chapter 550: Corn and pork porridge vs. Mexican pozole

Views:

Tian Xiaodu won the competition, and among the final five of the Super Chef Competition, it was officially confirmed that there are three Chinese chefs. No matter who wins the championship in the end, the power of Chinese chefs cannot be underestimated. Three of the top five in the world are from China, which is enough to prove that China has reached the top of the top ten cuisines. You must know that almost just a year ago, Chinese cuisine was ranked last among the top ten cuisines, and even Chinatown cuisine tried to split off and become an independent cuisine. This kind of progress in one year is truly amazing.

And the role that Ye Chui played in this progress is even more remarkable. It can almost be said that he led the leap forward in the Chinese food industry, and the title of China's God of Food is well-deserved.

Even now, some overseas media in China are already taking advantage of the situation, preparing to award Ye Chui the titles of "Super God of Cookery" and "World God of Cookery" immediately after he wins the World Chef Competition.

Manny Pritchett and Gordon Ramsay are competing for the title of World Chef. A chef simply represents superb cooking skills, while the God of Cookery represents the god of food, a title that is extremely skilled in food.

Having this title undoubtedly gives people a sense of superiority in an instant.

"Master, your image has been all over the websites and TV stations in China. Almost any entertainment or food website or forum you open is about you. And almost any TV station you open is also broadcasting stories about you." At noon that day, Han Yuyan said to Ye Chui with a smile while browsing the Internet. "I heard from my grandfather that there is even a TV station that is preparing to contact you and wants to ask you if you want to sell the copyright of your character to them. They are going to shoot a TV series with you as the protagonist, and the name is Super Food God."

Hearing this news, Ye Chui was both amused and confused: "This can't be true, right?"

"Of course it's true." Han Yuyan nodded quickly. "Netizens even strongly urged you to play yourself in the film. You are a handsome guy, so it must be the most suitable for you to play yourself."

Ye Chui was sweating a little: "Forget it. I'm not interested."

"If I'm in a TV series, I don't mind playing myself." Han Yuyan said with some longing. While speaking, she secretly looked at Ye Chui - because of the quietness, Ye Chui's mood has not been very high. Han Yuyan was deliberately looking for some interesting topics to enlighten Ye Chui.

At this time, Lin Wei beside him suddenly laughed. She teased Han Yuyan, "Sister Yuyan, don't talk about Master. There is news on the Internet that a film and television company is planning to invest in a TV series with you as the protagonist. The name is called Scrambled Egg Xishi, and many people support you to play the role yourself. Sister Yuyan, you are beautiful and have a good figure. You are no worse than those big stars."

"Ah, really?" Han Yuyan was stunned, and hurriedly moved to Lin Wei to read the relevant news.

Tian Xiaodu couldn't sit still anymore. He was originally very worried about Wang Shiyu. He came over and asked, "Is there any TV series about me that you want to film?"

The top five chefs are Ye Chui, Han Yuyan and him. Since Ye Chui and Han Yuyan both have TV series to shoot, I shouldn't be spared, right? It would be interesting to play myself...

Dong Youyou who was standing next to him couldn't help but kick Tian Xiaodu and joked, "Forget about you. You have no image. You have no story. Who would pay attention to a fat guy like you? I guess you are just a cameo in Ye Chui and Sister Yu Yan's TV series."

Tian Xiaodu: “…”

Han Yuyan also said embarrassedly: "It seems that not many people mention your name on the Internet. On the contrary, Xiaoyu and An Xiaoxiao are both very popular... Oh, and Qin Yiyue. He was criticized by netizens for challenging his master at the beginning. They said he was ungrateful. Later, I asked Li Xiuyun to publish a news on the official website of Food Weekly, explaining the reasons why Qin Yiyue wanted to challenge his master in the end. Now Qin Yiyue has also become an Internet celebrity. There is no TV series filmed with his image, but I heard that some people hope to use his image to make a movie..."

So Tian Xiaodu was hit even harder, and he sat in the corner silently, looking like no one wanted to bother with him...

What happened actually made Ye Chui feel much more relaxed.

In the afternoon, a highly anticipated game was about to begin.

This match is a showdown between the former world chef god Gordon Ramsay and the current world food god Manny Pritchett.

This is the second duel between the two.

Last time, Gordon Ramsay lost the competition and the title of God of Cooking. He disappeared from the major media for a while. He came to China to help Ye Chui open a porridge shop and made a comeback in this Super God of Cooking competition.

Many people knew that he had chosen to join the Man Han Feast and opened a porridge shop in the Food City. This time, he fought again, and Ye Chui's shadow was added. Many people were very curious. The last time Gordon Ramsay fought against Manny Pritchett, it could be said that he was defeated miserably. This time, after being guided by Ye Chui, I wonder if he can avenge his previous defeat

The stadium was full of people, but when they saw Ye Chui and his group appear, many onlookers involuntarily made way for Ye Chui.

Gordon Ramsay has always had a hot temper and would curse at people at any time, but now he has become much gentler and has not shown his hot side in front of others for a long time. When he saw Ye Cui and his group appear, he took the initiative to come over and greet Ye Cui.

"How do you feel? Do you have the confidence to win the game?" Ye Chui asked him with a smile. Gordon Ramsay smiled gently: "In China, I learned an idiom, which is that everything depends on human effort. Haha, just go all out."

"That's good of you to think so." Ye Chui nodded with a smile, and then continued to ask, "What are you going to do this time?"

"Porridge." Gordon Ramsay said with a smile.

"Porridge?" Ye Chui was stunned.

"Yes, this time, I plan to make Chinese cuisine." Gordon Ramsay said with a smile, "Corn and lean meat porridge."

"This... isn't good?" Ye Chui said in surprise.

"Nothing good or bad." Gordon Ramsay smiled, "In fact, I have discussed it with Manny, and he will also make a similar dish called pozole, which is a Mexican corn soup. Our dishes are very similar."

"In that case, congratulations on your victory." Ye Chui smiled and congratulated. Gordon Ramsay smiled, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the stadium.

Manny had already been waiting for Gordon Ramsay in front of the stove. He also glanced at Ye Chu with a cold look. After he killed Gordon Ramsay again, he would officially challenge Ye Chu for the first time, and Ye Chu would be defeated by him!

After the host warmed up and introduced the two players, the game officially began.

The corn and lean meat porridge that Gordon Ramsay is going to make is a very common porridge delicacy in China. However, most of the time, what we come across is a simplified version of this porridge, not the original version.

According to the traditional method, this bowl of porridge requires white rice, yam, coix seed, water chestnut, lean pork, corn kernels, wolfberry and other ingredients. Although the method is simple, the blending of various ingredients is very important. It takes a lot of skill to make a bowl of mild and delicious porridge.

This simple dish is the best way to see the chef's skills.

Watching Gordon Ramsay skillfully wash and soak rice, yam, coix seed, and Euryale ferox in water, and kneading them with his hands, Han Yuyan couldn't help but say, "Master, I suddenly remembered that when the Food City opened, Gordon Ramsay's porridge shop was very popular, and the most popular item was corn and lean meat porridge. He has a lot of experience in making this porridge."

Ye Chui nodded: "Otherwise he wouldn't make this kind of porridge on such an occasion. It seems that he is very confident."

"Ye Chui, what kind of pozole is Manny Prichette going to make?" Lin Wei asked Ye Chui at this time.

"It's a Mexican broth. The main ingredients include corn and beef. It has a unique spicy and sour taste and is very popular in Mexico." Ye Chui explained simply. He had heard of this dish a little bit. Of course, what impressed Ye Chu the most about this dish was a legend about it.

Legend has it that this dish was not originally cooked with beef, pork or chicken, but with human flesh!

Five hundred years ago, before the Spanish invasion of Mexico, pozole was a sacrificial food. It was made with human flesh. The meat of powerful warriors, priests, or respected people in the tribe was selected for cooking. The eaters believed that this would give them the strength and virtue of those people. Later, this horrific custom gradually disappeared and other meats were used for cooking. However, the improved pozole is still popular in Mexico. Like corn and lean meat congee, it is a Mexican home-cooked soup.

The preparation of this porridge is very complicated. First, you need to select the best beef, pork, or chicken, put it in a large pot, and stew it for a long time with clear soup, sea salt, vanilla, garlic, and onion, at least for ten hours. At the same time, the corn kernels must be boiled in water. While preparing these two ingredients, you also need to prepare a special chili sauce made with Mexican chilies and various seasonings. Finally, boil the meat, corn kernels, and chili sauce together to make a pot of fragrant porridge.

Finally, add secret proportions of herbs, lime, avocado slices, cabbage, coriander, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, etc. to the soup for seasoning.

Manny chose beef. In order to save time, he did not pound the beef for ten hours, but used a pressure cooker. Under high pressure, it only takes one and a half hours to achieve the effect of ten hours. (~^~)
