Foie gras, matsutake, black truffle.
It can be said that each of the three top-quality ingredients is worth a lot of money.
Ordinary foie gras can be sold for 300 to 400 euros per pound in Europe and the United States. Top-grade foie gras has even been sold for 700 euros. If converted into Chinese currency, it is about 7,000 euros per pound. This price is far more than Those gold jewels.
Matsutake and black truffles are also expensive, especially black truffles. Sometimes they can be said to be expensive but not marketable, because this kind of thing is purely wild and the quantity is limited. It doesn’t matter if you have money. You can eat whatever you want.
So adding up these three ingredients, plus Ye Fei's cooking skills and time spent, after all the factors are added up, the final price of this delicacy must be at least 3,000 euros, that is to say About 30,000 Chinese coins.
This price is absolutely top-notch for both Western and Chinese food, so it’s strange that people are not excited.
After preparing all the ingredients, the next step is to make it.
Compared with Chinese food, Western food has a very significant feature. It takes less time, which means that many Western food can be cooked very quickly. Because in order to pursue the nutrition and original taste of the ingredients, many ingredients are not overcooked at all. The same is true for this delicacy. , the difference is that the foie gras must be cooked thoroughly, which actually does not take time, because this thing is so cooked.
The first step, of course, is to process the foie gras.
Some people say what else can be done with foie gras? Isn't it just a matter of just throwing a piece of liver into the pot and letting it cook on its own? After it's cooked, isn't it enough to take it out to eat or make other combinations
This is definitely not possible. Especially in Western food, the processing of many ingredients is very particular. Even if they are top-quality ingredients, they may not all be edible and delicious. Some of them still have a lot of things that need to be removed. , just like shrimp threads and crab stomachs, although they are both bought with money, they must be removed when cooking or eating, otherwise the overall taste of the food will be ruined.
The same goes for foie gras. There are tendons and blood vessels in foie gras. These two things must be removed when cooking, otherwise an inexplicable bitter taste will appear.
We usually have such an experience when we eat foie gras or other livers, that is, when we take the first bite of tempting liver delicacies, we often feel a little bitter. This is because we Chinese and even Oriental people When making this type of delicacy, there is no custom of removing the tendons and blood vessels on the liver.
Western cuisine, especially Faguo cuisine, is extremely demanding in this aspect, and these things must be removed.
How to remove the tendons and blood vessels in foie gras
Everyone saw that Ye Fei first put on a pair of clean transparent gloves, then placed the big foie gras on the chopping board, took a thin and sharp knife from the tool rack, and then put some on it. A cut was made lengthwise in the middle of the large oval liver.
This knife can be said to be very careful. Even Ye Fei's current intermediate knife skills do not dare to do it in one go. Instead, he slowly inserts the knife and only pulls the knife back when he feels that it is OK. A line appears on the foie gras. A thin opening.
Then Ye Fei put the knife aside and gently and carefully opened the hole with his hands. He then used two fingers of his left hand to support the hole, and the index finger and thumb of his right hand penetrated the hole.
Not long after he took out his right hand, everyone saw a thin thing between Ye Fei's two fingers. It was white and seemed to be quite elastic when Ye Fei pulled it. This was the tendon in foie gras.
Just be careful when pulling out this tendon, because the tendon will become thinner as it goes forward, and it will break if you go too fast. At this time, it will be a bit difficult to pull it clean.
This is a large tendon in foie gras, and there are many thin tendons connected to this large tendon. Finally, Ye Fei carefully and slowly took out all of them.
Next is the blood vessels, which are mainly on the outside of the foie gras and can be easily disposed of.
After everything is done, wash it thoroughly under water, then put it in a basin, evenly apply salt, white sugar and pepper on the surface, marinate it first, and then turn around and start doing other things. .
The black truffles need to be cut into slices for this delicacy, washed carefully, and finally cut into slices with a sharp thin knife and set aside.
Wrap the matsutake mushrooms in a piece of metal tissue paper, take out the steamer from the side, add water, place it in the steamer, and steam over high heat.
This thing is very cooked, and it cannot be steamed too well, because if the steaming time is too long, all the moisture in the matsutake will come out. This is what keeps the fresh taste and smooth texture of the matsutake after all the steaming time. It also loses its meaning.
As the temperature rises, an elegant and fragrant smell begins to rush out with the hot steam coming out of the pot lid.
At this moment, it can be said that this smell rushed out of the bamboo building where Ye Fei was at extremely fast speed, and then flew directly in all directions.
The audience in the live broadcast room smelled the aroma again, which was a pure and elegant matsutake aroma.
But even so, everyone kept sniffling and sniffing hard. After all, not everyone can eat the matsutake mushrooms used by Ye Fei. It is also a pleasure to eat and smell the taste.
They were all very calm, even the alien Wanwanqu was mentally prepared, but the conductive lightning rod and the rushing quicksand group were not.
The reason why they stayed in the live broadcast room was to see what kind of foie gras delicacies this Earth anchor was going to make. They just wanted to watch Ye Fei being drowned in the army of hundreds of millions of interstellar anchors. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to watch. What's Ye Fei's joke
All of their thoughts were like this. They couldn't imagine that such a situation would suddenly occur in Ye Fei's live broadcast room.
When the unique and delicious aroma of matsutake entered their nostrils with a slight heat, a group of people clicked and turned to stone.
"I@#￥, what's going on?"
The conductive lightning rod is about to explode. Sir, is there something wrong? Why is it that when I watch the Earth anchor in the video making something, I seem to smell a very nice aroma? Why is this
He was confused, and the rushing quicksand was even more confused.
"MMP, what happened? Why did I smell a very fragrant and tempting aroma? Don't tell me that it came from this earth anchor."
The other alien spectators also exploded one by one.
"Is this a ghost?"
"Why is this happening?"
"Lightning rod, quicksand, do you smell it?"
"I smell it, I smell it. Don't tell me what my sister said. I've been captured by this aroma."
"Is this fragrance coming from this earth anchor?"
"No way? We don't know where the earth is, let alone how far away it is from us. It would be really magical if we could smell this smell."
"But if it didn't come from him, why did we smell it as soon as he did it? We didn't smell it for such a long time, and we all smelled it. This makes no sense."
At this moment, Wanwanqu sent a laughing emoticon, but did not send a message.
The conductive lightning rod immediately exploded. I sent a message and smelled: "Xiao Wanwan, do you know about this situation? Is this fragrance wafting from this earth anchor?"
Wanwanqu sent another playful expression before sending a message: "Yes, lightning rod, how do you feel? I just asked you how you feel?!"
This guy had a gloating tone, as if he was standing in front of a conductive lightning rod and staring at this guy's expression.
Conductive lightning rod: "."
"Although it's strange, I have to admit that the smell of this ingredient is very good."
Wanwanqu made a laughing expression again and said: "This is just the beginning, the good smell is yet to come, hehe."
Pentium Liusha suddenly sent a message, saying: "Lightning Rod, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
The conductive lightning rod said gloomily: "Tell me."
"Ahem, I...I feel like we've been tricked."
"."
"What's the meaning?"
"What else can this mean? This anchor on Earth is so crazy. The food he cooks can actually be smelled by us across hundreds of millions of light years. It means that other people can smell it if they watch his show while watching him cook food. , while smelling the aroma of the delicious food cooked here, what, do you think it is justified if you don’t fall for this guy’s show? I don’t know whether you fall for it or not. Anyway, I did, to be honest.”
"I think I can hold on for a while longer before falling."
"I can't stand it anymore. The food on this earth really tastes great. When I smell it, I feel like I'm getting hungry. I don't know if you guys feel this way."
"I have it too, and it's a feeling of being hungry and drooling. This has never happened before when watching other interstellar food anchors' programs. This won't happen even when watching the most awesome gluttonous programs. .”
The conductive lightning rod suddenly made a furious expression, and then sent a message: "Xiao Wanwan, your uncle, get out of here!"
Wandering: "."
"What's wrong?"
"What the hell is going on? Why didn't you tell us if you knew this? And you made a bet with us. Aren't you digging a hole for us to jump into? We are friends. Can you trick your friends like you?"
The conductive lightning rod really wants to catch Ben WanWu and ravage him to death. This bastard is so unreasonable that he will fool everyone.
Not long after, Ye Fei steamed the matsutake, turned off the fire, took it out and set it aside to cool.
At this time, the foie gras has also been marinated, and the next step is to make the foie gras.
Again, Western food rarely uses large seasonings. What they pursue is the original taste. The same goes for this foie gras. The outside is just lightly marinated with salt and sugar, and then mixed with pepper to taste. That’s all.
At this time, move the foie gras to a large plate, then change the water in the steamer, place the foie gras in the steamer, and start steaming over high heat.
It didn't take long for the unique aroma of foie gras to come out.
This time, the entire audience in the live broadcast room was even less calm. No matter which country they were from, or even a few alien viewers, they were all in chaos one by one.
"Yes, that's the smell."
"No, this is much more charming than the usual foie gras aroma."
“I feel like I’m back as a child, following my mother and watching her make foie gras for me.”
"This foie gras~~ seems like a ray of fragrance floating down from heaven, making people bathe in the light of God. God, it's great."
“The reason God is God is because He gave the world such a wonderful ingredient as foie gras.”
"Yes, the reason why Ye Shen is also a god is because he presented this wonderful ingredient to people through his superb cooking skills."
"Foie gras is a kind of food, and Ye Shen is the one who gives life to this food."
Conductive lightning rod: "."
This guy was completely crazy. If the aroma of matsutake had put him on the verge of collapse, then when the aroma of foie gras rushed into his nostrils, he knew that he was completely finished and completely defeated. , just like that, I fell into the delicacies made by Ye Fei, the anchor of this earth, and couldn't extricate myself!
"Damn it, this trap really caught me off guard."
