Chapter 101 Semifinal - Part 2
Soon it was the turn of the contestant who made the pork loin. President Gu and Ruan Tang noticed that he didn’t have enough time to blanch the pork loin because of his impatience, which may cause the pork loin to be raw. The best way is to use fire to stir fry to remedy. Just doing this requires very high control over the heat. If the control is not good, the pork loin may be overcooked, and the taste and taste will be greatly reduced.
But obviously, this contestant used the wrong method. He should have tasted the taste after blanching and found the deficiency, but he didn’t dare to do the second blanching, lest he would be scalded like the first pork loin So I finally chose to use rice wine and white vinegar to cover up its fishy smell. This method cannot be regarded as wrong. After all, rice wine and white vinegar do have the effect of removing fishy smell. As long as he controls it a little better, it will have a good effect.
Unfortunately, he poured too much vinegar again because of his impatience. Although he used sauce to cover it later, he still couldn't cover up the excessive sour taste in the pork loin. In the end, he made an exquisite plate with cucumbers and bell peppers. The pork loin was simmered for 20 minutes on a low fire, and he used thick red sauce to improve the taste. It seems beautiful in terms of color and aroma, but it really tastes delicious Well, that's not the case anymore.
Although the fishy smell has been removed, too much acid has destroyed the protein and tissue structure of the pork loin, making it lose its original tender taste, and the thick sauce can't cover up the incompatible sour taste.
[Youlan Xianwan: It looks good, and it smells good, why does it taste so bad when you put it in your mouth?]
[Water on each side: Yes, it always feels weird...]
It is conceivable that his results were not very satisfactory.
Behind him, there is a stir-fried kidney flower that is more brilliant. It uses the wheat ear flower knife that Ruan Tang used in the live broadcast, cut the kidney into long strips in the shape of a bunch of wheat ears, add soy sauce and bean paste to taste, and then put Add the chopped bell peppers and stir-fry over high heat. Not only does it look very beautiful in shape, but it also has a rich and mellow taste, with a soft and smooth taste, and the control of the heat is also very precise, which attracted the nods of the judges.
Qian Yong, who won the top three in the last competition, made boiled pork belly in the way of boiled fish fillets elsewhere. Although he cut the pork belly into shreds, the tissue structure of pork belly is thicker, not like fish fillets. It's so easy to cook, rolling it in hot oil, it turned out to be uncooked in the end, the strong fishy smell even the three judges including Ruan Tang and President Gu couldn't stand it, let alone the special judges with more sensitive five senses up.
Although the officers insisted on swallowing the pork belly and did not vomit in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, they forced themselves to maintain a cold and rigid image of the soldiers, but judging from their faces and increasingly tense expressions, it was clear that It definitely doesn't taste much better. And the ten audience judges outside the venue had no scruples, and they vomited up the food as soon as they ate it.
Qian Yong's face turned pale all of a sudden, he bowed deeply to the judges' seat, and then retreated silently.
Ruan Tang looked in He Yunchen's direction with some concern. He knew that He Yunchen's physique level was the highest among the crowd, and his senses were more sensitive, so he was very worried about what adverse reactions he would have after eating the unfamiliar pork belly.
He Yunchen seemed to feel his concern, and gave him a comforting look, which made Ruan Tang feel relieved.
Finally, it was Shi Mingxu's turn. He made the dishes at the last minute, so he was ranked last, but the audience was also looking forward to his dishes the most, wanting to know how the dishes that took an entire hour and a half to make tasted.
He deliberately cut the marinated pig intestines into oblique blades, which looked like thick slices of meat at first glance, and made those audiences who could not accept the appearance of large intestines feel much better. The red peppers are dotted in it, and the green onion sprinkled at the end makes it very appetizing.
The feeling of the entrance made many viewers feel novelty. The stewed fat sausage tastes rich, soft and rotten, with a slight spicy taste of sharp pepper, and finally has a strange sweet taste, rich in layers It feels very wonderful to layer upon layer like waves.
[Qinghan Lengyou: Well, it's delicious! I can probably guess the source of spicy and delicious, but where did the sweet taste come from?]
[Mu Yanfan: That's right, that sweet taste at the end, could it be the legendary Hui Gan?]
[Ah Hui is the most obedient: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think it may be the translucent liquid that was added when it was finally out of the pan? Is it sugar water?]
After Ruan Tang tasted the fatty sausage, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "The last thing you added was pear juice, right?"
"Yes." Shi Mingxu also smiled slightly. He has always admired the young chef in front of him, and was not surprised that he could taste the taste of pear juice.
"How did you think of using pear juice?" Ruan Tang asked curiously.
The pear juice is sweet and greasy. Shi Mingxu added an appropriate amount of pear juice to the dish, which can be said to be a finishing touch. The light sweet taste not only enhances freshness, but also relieves greasy and reduces spicy stimulation. The effect can be said to serve multiple purposes.
"Sometimes I squeeze juice at home. I like this kind of pear juice the most. I like its sweet but not greasy taste." It happened that there were pears in the secret box this time, so he cut the pears and The meat was squeezed into juice, and some was sprinkled in it when it was finally out of the pan.
Ruan Tang nodded approvingly. He can be sure that among the top three finalists in this competition, there must be a place for Shi Mingxu, and he will go further on the road of food.
[Mo Yu: Wow, it turned out to be pear juice! My Tang is so good, I tasted it as soon as I tasted it!]
[Baobaobao: Come on, Shi Mingxu!]
In the end, including Qian Yong, 12 people were eliminated in this round, and the remaining 13 people entered the next stage of basic skills test. They will compete for the pitiful five in the next round of test. promotion places.
"This round of basic skills test is still knife skills." Ruan Tang said, and took out a mandarin fish, "When I was entertaining a banquet, I once made squirrel fish. Maybe you only noticed the shape of the finished product. But I don’t know how to make it, so I will show you today.”
The mandarin fish has fewer spines and the meat is delicate enough to be used as squirrel fish.
Ruan Tang picked up the kitchen knife, quickly removed the scales, gills, and internal organs of the fish, and then washed it with clean water.
Then use a knife from the pectoral and pelvic fins of the fish to cut off the whole fish head, then leave the fish body, cut it in half from the middle of the back of the fish with a knife, remove the central fish bone, and keep the fish tail still. Then, on the basis of not cutting the fish skin, cut the fish noodles obliquely into litchi shapes.
"The whole fish should be formed into thin strips. After frying, it will be fluffy like the hair on a squirrel." After cutting, Ruan Tang picked up the fish and separated the fish meat into pieces, but the fish skin was intact." Every knife must be cut evenly, and the strength must be careful, and the fish meat must be connected to the skin without falling off, and it is considered qualified if it is cut like me."
"Each of you has three fish and one hour's time, and finally you can give me the work you think is the best."
[Mana sauce: I am so handsome! This knife is absolutely perfect!]
[Yueyu Xinhua: I'm really looking forward to the birth of the final five! I hope all the players will work hard!]
Being able to reach the semi-finals, it can be said that the remaining thirteen players have no obvious shortcomings, and their mastery of basic skills is definitely above the standard.
Although the cutting method of squirrel fish does not look as amazing as Ruan Tang's cutting potato shreds before, there is a small trap in it, which is to test the contestants' understanding of the texture and properties of the ingredients.
Just like Paoding Jieniu, if you have enough understanding of the ingredients, you will know every trace of its texture and the distribution of flesh and bones, and the cuts will be naturally smooth and neat. If you only have the shape, you don’t care about each fish. There are slight differences in the distribution of bone and flesh and texture, and the cut fish will definitely appear broken and broken.
At this time, you can see the difference in the level of each player.
Some are aware of this, some are not, but no one is foolish enough to remind their competitors at this time. They just returned to the cooking table with the fish in silence and began to process it.
Ruan Tang, President Gu, and Elder Ge observed these players as usual. Zha Panpan, Cao Jun, and Shi Mingxu performed very well. The three of them have solid basic skills. As the only girl among them, Zha Panpan is even more careful.
The movements of the three were neither too fast nor too slow, and the speed of their saber strikes seemed to be quite satisfactory, but each of their saber strikes was just right and very precise. Compared with others, they either wanted to show off their saber skills and ended up overturning, or they were too cautious and made mistakes Yes, it looks more reliable.
In the end, eight people successfully passed the test of basic skills, and only five people were finally promoted, namely Zha Panpan, Cao Jun, Shi Mingxu, Wu Anmin and Chen Yuanwu.
The first four are all people who have won the top three in a single game. They are quite familiar to the audience, and it is not surprising that they can become the final five candidates.
However, the name Chen Yuanwu was a bit unfamiliar to them, but they immediately remembered it when they saw him—isn’t this the same person who was tall and burly when he made hand-made beef balls before? Is the hand-made beef balls very delicious handsome guy? Unexpectedly, his knife skills are so good!
After they got the impression, the number of Chen Yuanwu's Weibo followers immediately began to skyrocket.
Next is the final, which is a competition of final strength, so this time the top three will no longer enjoy privileges.
"Congratulations on entering the finals. It was not easy for you all the way here. The difficulty of the finals will increase again. I hope you can prepare well when you go back and show your best level in the finals." President Gu said with a smile.
"Yes!" The five responded in unison.
The semi-finals finally came to an end here, and the special judges also left one after another, leaving only He Yunchen in place. After Ruan Tang announced his dissolution, he came over to hold his hand.
"Go, let's go home."
