Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall? Chapter 352

Jiang Feng brought Sun Zhuangfei to the Kingdom of Magnesia.

 After some publicity and scheduling, he has officially joined the new season of Magnesium Country's “All-Star Chef Competition”.

 Judging from the contestants invited by the program team, they are indeed very talented and come from different countries and regions.

 Specifically, they include Italy, France, Spain, India, Thailand, the Middle East, mainland China, and one person, naturally the representative of Chinese food, Jiang Feng.

Since Jiang Feng did not publicize this matter to the outside world, and this foreign variety show did not receive enough attention in China, people in China did not know that Jiang Feng was competing outside.

 Although it is a program, it is a real competition.

 Because the chefs invited are all professional chefs, all have names, and they are all chefs or managers of some top restaurants.

 At least it's three-star Michelin.

Jiang Feng is known as the most famous Chinese chef, the owner of eight restaurants with different cuisines, the top chef in the restaurant, and an all-round chef.

 Seeing these names, Jiang Feng felt that they were quite objective.

If they are all amateur chefs, then the competition may be more interesting. After all, ordinary people participate in the show just to have fun.

 But if they were all chefs, it would be different.

Everyone is a well-known figure, and some players even have a very high status in the local area.

 This level of competition is full of excitement.

 In terms of cooking, Jiang Feng has always believed that "a ruler is short and an inch is long."

 He is a very fair person.

 Chinese cuisine has its own unique features, and the cuisines of other regions also have their own characteristics.

  Compare them together and show the highlights.

 The competition site is a huge studio with extremely luxurious decoration and all kinds of lights.

 There are eight stoves on the stage with all functions.

 After some warm-up, program promotion, contestant interviews, judges' introductions, etc., the competition finally started.

Gordon is one of the organizers of the show and the most famous chef in the world. He has organized many food shows and is also a judge of this competition.

 His popularity abroad is exaggerated.

 The international reputation is even greater.

 He first said some inspiring words.

For example, on this stage, many amazing champions have been born who have been shrouded in the spotlight, and many people have sadly left in the shadows.

 Many people have left their own stories here.

 This time, everyone invited is the most famous and top chef in each region.

This one is not just an all-star chef show, but an all-star masters competition.

Only top chefs can produce top-notch effects.

I have to say that Gordon is very good at stirring up the atmosphere.

 The eight chefs were all a little excited, including Jiang Feng, and they all felt that things were getting interesting.

The most peak culinary collision, the more so, the more interesting it is.

 Today is the opening of the show. At this moment, Gordon directly announced the rules of the game.

 It is not the so-called elimination system of eight into four or four into two.

 Instead, special topics are given, everyone competes together, the judges score, and the last one is eliminated.

In this round, the last two chefs will be eliminated.

Hearing this, everyone became even more nervous and even a little panicked.

Gordon is also known as "Hell's Chef" abroad. He runs a show called "Hell's Kitchen". This person is very good at creating program effects and grasping the rhythm.

Gordon directly told everyone that now, the first game will start directly.

 The topic of this issue is: Vegetarian food

 Only vegetarian cooking is allowed, only vegetable oil can be used, eggs, meat, and fish are not allowed.

  He also told the eight contestants that there were dozens of vegetables prepared later, and everyone could choose at will.

 “I know everyone thinks we are here to shoot a promotional video today.”

 “But I'm sorry, what I want to tell you is that today is the first game.”

“The less preparation is done in advance, the more a chef's basic skills will be tested.”

 “Now, the game officially begins.”

“You have half an hour to pick vegetables and one and a half hours to cook.”

 “Please hold on tight.”

Gordon showed a meaningful smile on his face and said.

 The faces of the chefs were full of astonishment and shock, and they were all confused.

The program team just told them that they were wearing chef uniforms today because they were preparing to shoot a promotional video for the competition.

Who would have thought that it would suddenly become real!

Jiang Feng is relatively calm, he has already discovered the clues.

 Because every stove is filled with various condiments, and some condiments can be opened directly, such as salt, sugar, pepper, etc.

 This means that today we are going to cook.

 Then, he smiled confidently.

As he thought, every food culture has its own unique and beautiful features.

 But when it comes to vegetarian food, Chinese food really has no rival.

  And there is no opponent at all.

· No matter which country the food is from, it is impossible to live without meat.

 Or a staple food like pasta.

 There are very few varieties of pure vegetarian dishes.

As for Chinese vegetarian food, Jiang Feng can think of many, such as shredded potatoes, tofu, cabbage, etc. But this is a world-class cooking competition after all. Frying shredded potatoes would be too low and inconsistent with his status.

At this time, the chefs started to move and ran towards the vegetable area at the back.

Jiang Feng walked past leisurely.

 Look at what ingredients are available first, and then decide what to cook.

Today's game is a personal one. Relatives, friends and family members are all sitting in the audience and can only watch.

Jiang Feng came to the vegetable area at the back and laughed instantly when he saw the dazzling array of vegetables.

The vegetables are quite complete, that's good.

 You can do whatever you want.

The rules of the program team are to cook at least two dishes, which must be exquisite.

“Vegetarianism seems to be a form of political correctness abroad now.”

“It's understandable that the program started with the theme of vegetarianism.”

“There are many kinds of vegetarian food in Chinese food.”

“Then I will make a dish based on various fungi and bamboo shoots.”

Jiang Feng was thinking in his mind.

There are a lot of fungi here, including various morels, morels, and various mushrooms.

Jiang Feng decided on the first dish he would make:

  Dinghu Shangsu!

The so-called "Dinghu Shangsu" is a vegetarian dish in the Manchu-Han banquet. It uses all vegetarian dishes, but it tastes like meat and has an excellent texture.

 It can occupy a place in the Manchu-Han banquet, so you can imagine the quality of this dish.

 Jiang Feng is, after all, a walking encyclopedia of food.

　　It is not difficult for him to cook a special topic.

 This also shows his level as a top chef.

If you are an ordinary chef, when you see this topic, you will probably think of dishes such as fried shredded potatoes, fried beans, and ground vegetables.

 It is a widely recognized saying in the catering industry that vegetarian dishes are more difficult to prepare than meat dishes.

 Any vegetarian restaurant will be more expensive.

 Because it is indeed difficult to make vegetarian dishes, and it is even more difficult to make them exquisite and delicious.

 In particular, it can be seen that the competition in this program is extremely challenging.

Several chefs specialize in selecting expensive ingredients. Whether they are used or not, they have to get them first.

Jiang Feng filled the basket with the ingredients for the first dish, and then began to think about the second dish.

 Eggs cannot be used in this game.

Jiang Feng wants to make boiled cabbage or Wensi tofu.

 But in this kind of competition, visual effects are also an important factor.

Boiled cabbage is too low-key and restrained. Jiang Feng is worried that foreigners will not understand this Chinese cultural characteristic, so he still plans to make some exquisite vegetarian dishes.

 Wensi Tofu is just a bowl of soup, which does not meet the requirements of the program.

 So what Jiang Feng plans to do is "Yipin Tofu".

 As a Chinese vegetarian dish, tofu is very popular abroad.

Jiang Feng discovered that the program team had prepared fresh tofu.

 There is no doubt that this is for him.

Jiang Feng saw the intention of the program team.

 “If there is tofu, it must be prepared for me.”

 “Then let's make Yipin Tofu.”

 “I've got to make a dish of tofu.”

Jiang Feng thought.

 He took his time and picked out the ingredients, then went to get some onions, garlic and the like.

 Some of the other chefs have already selected the ingredients, while others are still thinking hard. The scene is very interesting.

I have to say that the quality of this program is very high.

 From the level of the judges and contestants to the decoration of the studio, they are all very impressive.

 In such an environment, Jiang Feng felt that he was completely activated and just wanted to start cooking quickly.

 Topic: Vegetarian food

 Dishes: Dinghu Shang vegetarian, Yipin tofu.

Jiang Feng handled it with ease. This was the confidence that his background in Chinese food gave him.

 After everything was ready, Jiang Feng returned to the stove and was ready to start cooking.

Gordon will specifically interview each player and ask them to make some pre-game declarations.

When I interviewed Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng said with a confident smile:

“Chinese food culture is extensive and profound, and there are many, many vegetarian dishes.”

 “I can only choose two and present them.”

Hearing his words, Gordon nodded and said, "I wish you all the best."

 At this moment, the eight top chefs in the world officially begin their duel.

 The chef all-star competition, MasterChef, begins. (End of chapter)
