When the food reviewer on the display cut the pork chop with a knife, even Lin Kesong, who could not taste the taste at all, could see that the pork chop was very tender and delicious, with a reddish-brown appearance and a thick soup. An appetite-boosting sheen.
After taking a bite, editor-in-chief Winston said with a very enjoyable expression: "My tongue was finally saved! After tasting so many dishes with flaws and flaws that are hard to ignore, I finally got something delicious! Pork chops! The cooking temperature can be described as perfect, the sauce penetrates into the texture of the pork chop, and the sweet and savory tastes complement each other! Maybe this contestant is due to the abundance of ingredients, but being able to make such a delicious pork chop at least shows what he has Strength!"
The other judges also praised the pork chop in sauce.
Nobuo Goto scored 8.8 points in this round and jumped to the top of the list.
Lin Kesong pursed his lips, feeling a little greedy. She really wanted to know what Goto's pork chops tasted like.
The next dish to be tasted by the judges was Lin Kesong's dish.
Lin Kesong swallowed his saliva, clenched his fists, and watched as the plate on the screen was brought to the judges.
Winston raised his knife and fork, but frowned.
This made Lin Kesong's anxiety continue to rise. Is there something wrong with her platter
Or is it a weird thing to use eggshells for food
She clearly saw that Jiang Qianfan's restaurant had also done a similar arrangement, which looked delicate and idyllic.
Is it because she has no aesthetics, so drawing tigers is no longer an anti-dog
At this moment, Winston put down his knife and fork, put his fingers on the edge of the plate, looked at the camera, and said seriously: "Please take a picture of this dish, I hope the contestants and the audience can take a look at this dish. The arrangement of the dishes, do you feel that you are still in the mood to eat while watching this arrangement?"
The dinner plate on the screen is enlarged, taking up almost the entire screen.
The audience craned their necks and looked over.
Lin Kesong lowered her head, it seemed that she was finished this time, and was about to be set up as a negative example by Winston.
"Oh... so pretty..."
Bruce, who was not far from Lin Kesong, let out a sigh.
pretty? Does anyone think it's beautiful
Lin Kesong raised his head and looked in Bruce's direction.
And Sansa also leaned forward while leaning on the table, as if to be able to see more clearly: "It's like a glass gem in a shell!"
real? Sansa also thinks her platter is pretty, rather than a sticky pile of stuff left in the shell
"It's really a pity that the photojournalist of my magazine didn't come with me, otherwise I'll let him take a photo of this dish and put it on "Gourmet"! Regardless of the taste of this dish, I hope that the contestants present We can get a good feel for it.”
The bottom of this dish is covered with hay, which is piled with fresh raspberry fruit, and the contrast of yellow and red is very bright. On top of the raspberry, there is an eggshell cut at an angle of about thirty degrees, which looks like a small cradle. And this "cradle" is filled with jam made of berries, and the jam exudes a special luster. A few slices of white egg whites could be faintly seen in the jam. A mint leaf dotted into the jam, the leaf resting lazily on the edge of the eggshell, became the finishing touch to the plate.
"It's beautiful. It's unbearable to spoil. Still, as a food reviewer, I'm not easily fooled by its appearance, and most importantly, its taste. If it's just egg whites mixed with berries, though I appreciate the presentation, but still can't give it high marks."
Winston picked up the spoon, holding the eggshell in his left hand, and a spoonful of berry jam in his right hand and put it into his mouth.
Lin Kesong's breathing seemed to stop in his chest. Can Winston taste the thought that went into this seemingly simple dish
It was the most balanced palate she could maintain with the only material she could imagine.
Will they recognize her
Winston put the jam in his mouth, closed his eyes, and did not rush to swallow, but stirred the tip of his tongue slightly.
After a few seconds of silence, everyone present was full of curiosity.
Is it just a beautifully presented jam-packed protein, or is it a fresh starter or dessert
“… the taste is very special! The eggs don’t seem to be simply boiled, they are smoked… The light smoky taste mixed with the sweet and sour taste of the berry sauce… Reminds me of the courtyard of my grandmother’s house when I was a child In the middle of the sun, there are small fruits on the grass, and you can pick one and put it in your mouth for a leisurely time!… And jam! It can have such a smooth taste… It’s because egg yolks are added. Liquid!" Winston showed an expression of sudden realization.
Winston ate all the jam carefully, the first time he had eaten all of a contestant's food during a competition.
He analyzed every minute process of Lin Kesong's dish one by one, praised her conception and grasp of ingredients, and gave her a score of 9.5. This made Lin Kesong pinched his thighs in disbelief.
She is not dreaming!
Luckily she was so inspired when she saw the hay, she put the hay on the oven rack and smoked her eggs with the hay! And smoking hard-boiled eggs requires very careful skills. If the time is not enough, the egg whites will be too soft. If the baking time is too long, the egg yolks will solidify and cannot be taken and mixed with jam.
David also said that there are too few, and the eggshells are empty before eating the fun!
Gourmet Luke almost turned the shell upside down.
"The light smoky aroma combined with the jam flavor is amazing! The egg wash adds a smoothness to the jam, and it blends perfectly with the hay toasted egg whites! And that hint of chamomile. The fragrance and a little bit of spiciness on the tip of the tongue are like plucked strings! I don't know if it should be defined as an appetizer or dessert, but just after eating pork chops with sauce, I can eat such a hay Smoked egg whites with berry jam, really good! It's a classic example of using ingredients!"
Adding spiciness or something is also Lin Kesong's inspiration from Jiang Qianfan's spicy chocolate. Sometimes adding a little chili powder to sweet things can arouse people's appetite and reduce the sweetness.
The idea of adding chili powder was recognized by the judges, and Lin Kesong was also very happy, because she felt that she was recognized as Jiang Qianfan's student!
Lin Kesong scored 9.2 points in this round, surpassing Nobu Goto and topping the list.
When she looked at the scores and rankings displayed on the screen, she raised her hands to cover her face. She really didn't expect such a risky way of matching ingredients to be successful!
She raised her head and looked in the direction of her uncle. Uncle Lin happily hugged Song Yiran beside him, and he was so happy that he forgot.
And Song Yiran looked at Lin Kesong and waved at her with a smile.
Lin Kesong looked around again, but still did not see Jiang Qianfan.
And Elise's expression seemed to be cold.
Lin Kesong rubbed the tip of his nose, wondering how Jiang Qianfan would comment on seeing her dish
Annalise clapped her hands in front of Victor and said with a smile, "Victor, you originally wanted to deal with Lin Kesong, but I didn't expect you to give her a ride and help her stand out! "
Victor shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "This is very good! It proves my eyesight! I have always thought that Croissant is very powerful and will be my biggest opponent to win the championship!"
Intuition told Lin Kesong that Victor was not just as simple as an opponent. What had she done to make him hate her so much
Before Lin Kesong had time to think too much, the review of the next dish came.
This dish is seafood stew.
Just looking at the ingredients used in the cooking, rice and seafood, Lin Kesong can guess that this is what Victor made with Nobu Goto's ingredients.
The only salty thing in all of Goto's ingredients was the bottle of soy sauce. But he took out the soy sauce.
Without soy sauce, how does Victor make up for the lack of saltiness
The seafood stew looks exquisite, with red prawn heads resting on the edge of the deep-mouth plate, looking like swimming prawns resting on the beach. Seaweed bundled with fish plates, soaked in rice. Although it is simple, Lin Kesong can see from the color of the various ingredients that the seafood has not been overcooked and still maintains a delicious taste.
Winston said enthusiastically: "It's rare that someone chooses stewed rice in a cooking competition, and it's seafood stew. Stewed rice is a home-cooked dish that anyone can cook. It doesn't seem to require skills. But in fact, it is not easy to make it delicious. The rice should be selected properly, and it can fully absorb the soup from the boiled seafood. And seafood, such as shrimp and fish, are proteins that lose their taste if they are overcooked. "
Winston gracefully scooped up a spoonful of stewed rice, blew it, smelled it between his nostrils, showed an expression of enjoyment, and put it into his mouth.
While tasting, Winston nodded.
"Well - if I'm not mistaken, the soup for the stewed rice is boiled with shrimp heads, fish bones and kelp. It's very delicious! The shrimp yellow was taken out, baked in the oven, and added to the stewed rice, adding more A strong sea smell. It's a clever idea. The stewed rice tastes superb. It's just a pity...no salty taste."
Winston shook his head regretfully.
Basically Winston's evaluation and other judges will not be much different. In other words, Nobuo Goto really stumped Victor!
Lin Kesong exhaled and looked at Victor's back. His figure was a little stubborn, and he raised his head slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with the result.
In fact, although Goto Shin took off the only salty seasoning, it doesn't mean that there is no way to do it.
