Elise looked at Lin Ke Song on the opposite side, she was concentrating on loading the plate.
At this moment, Elise had to re-examine the girl. No one can get to this point simply by luck, or because of Jiang Qianfan's shelter. Taste is a very intuitive feeling. Although these master chefs always have a lot of theory and experience when they talk about cooking, only the taste buds of the guests can really judge the level of cooking.
Delicious is delicious, not delicious is not delicious.
Winston looked at the antique clock in the hall and counted down with the judges and media friends.
When the pointer points to 12:20, both parties must prepare the main course.
At this time, the waiter at Yuejianglou was serving all the judges.
And Winston went to the media.
"Long time no see, Ms. Lin Ying!" Winston greeted a woman in her forties.
Lin Ying is from Vietnam and came to New York with her parents when she was 12 years old. She is a freelance writer. Her Facebook and columns introduce restaurants and signature dishes of various countries, which are very popular.
"Hello, Mr. Winston. You greeted me alone in front of so many colleagues. Can I guess that, like the three previous chefs, I have the honor to be the guest commentator of the main course?"
"Yes. I invited Ms. Lin to comment on the first main course of the two sides, the pan-fried sea bass." Winston snapped his fingers, and two pan-fried sea bass were delivered to Lin Ying.
Lin Ying smiled slightly, "Because of the limitation of the theme 'Fried Sea Bass', the two sides used similar techniques to cook the sea bass. As we all know, the meat quality of fish is different from that of pork, beef, chicken, etc. It has the characteristics of brittleness, and It is also easier to taste. In the process of frying, once the fish fails to master the heat, it will become old. If the time and heat are right, it can not only maintain the elastic taste, but also retain the original juice between the fish. ."
Lin Ying cut the perch observations on both sides separately, and came to the conclusion: "It is indeed the work of the master. The color of the fish is very beautiful, and the surface of the fish is fried with a thin layer of golden yellow, which is really exciting. "
"That is to say, the pan-fried sea bass on both sides are evenly matched in terms of heat. Just depends on the taste?"
"Yes." Lin Ying tasted a small piece of Jessica and Elise's sea bass, and nodded slowly, "It's really delicious! The sea bass is marinated very deliciously! The special butter sauce poured on the fish. The taste is really great. The taste of the minced tarragon mixed with the minced shallots, minced garlic, coconut milk and cumin grains is rich in layers, and it seems to hook up the tongue, making people want to swallow quickly Go down and keep letting your tongue experience that taste again and again!"
"It seems you like this dish very much?"
"certainly!"
"But I suggest you try the other leaf."
Lin Ying nodded.
When her fork picked up the pan-fried sea bass cooked by Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong, she did not rush to put it in her mouth, but shook it between her nose, as if some smell attracted her.
"I smelled a very special scent... This scent makes me appetizing..." Lin Ying swallowed her saliva clearly.
Winston laughed, and the rest of the media friends looked over.
Lin Ying grabbed the piece of fish and chewed it gently until she ate most of the perch. Winston finally couldn't help reminding: "Ms. Lin Ying... After you finish your evaluation, you can continue to eat it as well. Finish your favorite dish."
Lin Ying shook his head helplessly: "I can't stop now! The seasoning of this dish is great! Whether it's the saltiness or the combination of other spices, they form a whole. It seems that one of them is missing, or there is something like that. If the weight changes, it will lose such a perfect taste. The most noteworthy is where this unique aroma and smoky roasted aroma come from?”
Winston turned his head to look in the direction of Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong: "Hey! Two! Can anyone explain?"
"It's minced garlic and green onions." Jiang Qianfan simply said two words.
Everyone present was still confused.
Winston coughed twice, looked at Lin Ke Song, who was decorating the dessert, and said helplessly, "Kesong, although I'm used to Chef Jiang Qianfan's style of speaking, all the friends here can't follow. on his mind."
While cutting the blueberry pie in an orderly manner, Lin Kesong said with a smile, "I still sometimes don't quite understand what he is thinking! But when it comes to the minced garlic and green onions in the fried seabass... After the green onions are cut off. Just put it in a frying pan and stir fry, so that the fragrance of the onion stays in the pot, and then season with red wine. The minced garlic is actually sprinkled on the surface when the sea bass is about to be cooked! However, I have put the garlic cloves in advance. Put it on the hay and smoke it! Isn't it delicious?"
"Oh!" Lin Ying showed a sudden realization.
Lin Kesong smiled and rubbed the tip of his nose.
"Then Ms. Lin Ying, which one of these two pan-fried sea bass do you prefer?" Winston did not forget the most important question.
"Ah... It's really hard to choose... Both dishes are unique! The heat and taste are outstanding, this is the best pan-seared sea bass I've ever tasted. It's just that if I don't give an answer, you won't Leave me alone."
"Yes."
"Okay, I choose Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong's dish. I must admit that the aroma of the smoked plan makes me more appetizing when the taste and taste are so similar." Lin Ying made it very solemnly selected.
"Okay, let's take a look at the judges' votes! Aha! Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong once again lead with nine votes. Jessica and Elise have seven votes!"
Hearing this, Lin Kesong shrugged his shoulders and exhaled.
"Well done." Jiang Qianfan lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
She clearly felt the other person's lips brushing against her ear. Although it is possible that Jiang Qianfan didn't have a good sense of distance because he couldn't see, but Lin Kesong knew that 80% of this guy did it on purpose.
"I don't know how long Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong will continue to have such a lead? The Jessica and Elise I know are not mediocre people, they may bring surprises anytime and anywhere. For Qianfan and Lin Kesong, the advantage of four votes is actually the same as having no advantage, and they will be overtaken at any time! Next..." Winston came to Luke, "Just ask my old friend, the food critic Lu Grams commented on the second main course for everyone present, charcoal grilled lamb chops!"
Luke showed a delighted expression: "Winston, I've been waiting! If you didn't invite me to be a special commentator from beginning to end, I would really break up with you!"
Two lamb chops were delivered to Luke.
Jessica and Elise's lamb chops are placed on a wooden tray, and the lamb chops are cut and covered with a variety of side dishes, which is visually very rich.
Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong's charcoal-grilled lamb chops are served in a long white disk. Lamb chops lie in a buff sauce and are topped with a creamy herb crab salad.
Luke carefully observed the meat quality of the two dishes.
"Well, both of them are five matures with the right heat. I don't think it's surprising that Jessica and Elise can do this, but Chef Jiang Qianfan... Every time the control of the heat is so precise, I find it unbelievable. .I wonder if you have any tricks for determining the doneness of meat without looking at it?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Qianfan behind the glass wall.
He was cooking caramel and didn't mean to look up.
"Cross, you know what?" Luke asked with a smile.
"Ah? Me?" Lin Kesong tilted his head and looked at Jiang Qianfan's profile, "The experience and feeling formed by thousands of exercises... and the sense of taste and temperature?"
"Haha!" Luke laughed, "Let me try your two charcoal grilled lamb chops!"
Luke first put a piece of lamb cooked by Jessica and Elise into his mouth, he chewed it carefully, turned his head sideways and closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh from his nose: The lamb chops are marinated in a sauce made from pears, carrots, bell peppers, thyme, lemongrass, ginger, minced garlic, fish sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper. Because they are cut and grilled, the lamb chops are heated Evenly, with crispy burnt bits on each side, the texture is great! Especially the sweetness of the pears and carrots give this dish a more aftertaste in addition to the impact of the taste. When serving, I guess clean Sika and Elise sprinkled the lamb chops with a little lemon mint. The whole dish was full of flavor, and the chipotle chili peppers added a punch. The sauce made from minced goat milk and kimchi sautéed It also goes well with this dish. All in all...even after three months, I can't forget the taste!"
Even though Luke's compliment was so strong, Elise didn't let up. Of course, their dishes have an unforgettable taste, but this is not enough, they must be more impactful than Jiang Qianfan's dishes. The minced goat milk and kimchi stir-fry sauce was what she decided to use at the last minute.
She now understands that if she wants to beat Jiang Qianfan, it is impossible to follow the rules. She had to take risks and try ideas that she hadn't tried.
"You did a great job." Jessica showed a small smile, very satisfied with her daughter's performance on this dish.
"Next, let me taste the works of Chef Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong."
When Luke cut the mutton, Lin Kesong, who was loading the plate, was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
"Well—thyme, ginger, minced garlic, natural, pepper, and salt are the same seasonings as Jessica's and Elise's steaks. However, I also tasted peppercorns, white sesame seeds, and it was delicious. It feels like the sesame seeds are split on the tip of the tongue!"
