Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall? Chapter 353

Beside Jiang Feng's stove, there are washed mushrooms, straw mushrooms, winter mushrooms, white fungus, golden fungus, and fungus, as well as bamboo shoots, asparagus, and bamboo fungus.

Strictly speaking, the Dinghu Shangsu dish requires nineteen ingredients, including three mushrooms, six ears, nine bamboo shoots and one sheng.

Most of these ingredients are niche ingredients from various places.

For example, elm fungus, stone fungus, osmanthus fungus, hairy tail bamboo shoot, pen bamboo shoot, etc. are all unique ingredients of China, and the kitchen here must not have prepared them.

 But it doesn't matter.

  Making a dish does not necessarily have to be done step by step.

 As a top chef, if you only follow the recipes rigidly, you will be inferior.

Jiang Feng also selected several other dishes based on his understanding of the ingredients.

　　The camera of the program crew was focused on Jiang Feng.

 In the early publicity of this game, Jiang Feng's popularity was relatively low. After all, we are from the country of Magnesium, and we don't know much about Jiang Feng.

 But because he makes Chinese food, many Chinese support him.

Gordon, known as the devil chef, walked up to Jiang Feng and was inspecting Jiang Feng's cooking process.

 “What are you going to do now?”

Gordon asked curiously.

There are two other judges who are also watching.

 During the production process, the judges will also hang out among the contestants to check the cooking level of the contestants.

 “I need to make a vegetarian soup now.”

 “This soup is extremely delicious.”

Jiang Feng responded in fluent English.

As he spoke, he cut the vegetables and poured them into the pot.

 The chopped vegetables include celery, carrots, kelp, and bean sprouts. Blanch them all and boil them.

 Put it into a casserole, add salt, longan, tangerine peel and white pepper.

These dishes themselves are already very fresh, and coupled with the flavor of tangerine peel, this pot of vegetarian soup will taste even more delicious, even with a slight meaty flavor.

 Simmer the casserole on the stove for about an hour.

 Calculate the time, just enough to cook it at the last moment.

Then Jiang Feng began to process the main ingredients. Each ingredient had to be boiled with water. After it was cooked, he took a small bowl and began to place each cooked ingredient in the bowl.

Jiang Feng's approach is particularly eye-catching.

 He is different from others.

Gordon could see that Jiang Feng focused on the taste of the ingredients.

 A few other chefs are focusing on "shape", that is, after cooking the vegetables, they are studying how to arrange them on the plate to look better.

In their eyes, vegetables are ingredients and decorations without much cooking method, so the key is to make the whole dish unique.

 But Jiang Feng is different.

 Chinese food culture is extensive and profound.

Dinghu Shangsu is the number one vegetarian dish.

 Soup is a stew of pure vegetarian vegetables.

 The ingredients are various fresh bamboo shoots, mushrooms, white fungus, and fungus.

 Combined together, you only need to add a few seasonings to make this delicious delicacy.

 “Incredible approach.”

“I never thought there would be so many vegetables in one dish.”

“And I don't know what you're going to do next. Are you going to cook these mushrooms and bamboo shoots in a casserole?”

Gordon watched Jiang Feng's cooking process, holding his chin in his hand, thinking.

 As China's top vegetarian dish, Jiang Feng has absolute confidence in this dish.

Jiang Feng responded:

“It's not boiling, it's steaming.”

“This dish is called Dinghu Shangsu. It is the number one vegetarian dish in Chinese food and is also a famous dish in the Manchu-Han banquet.”

“After the vegetable soup is simmered, pour it into a bowl and put it in the steamer to steam for half an hour.”

As he spoke, Jiang Feng concentrated on arranging the ingredients in the bowl.

 He put the white fungus on the side and a mushroom on the bottom. After the ingredients below were placed, he put in the other ingredients one by one.

 This is also a critical step.

 A bowl of cooked mushrooms and bamboo shoots, but there is nothing interesting about it yet.

 Other contestants were arranging dishes and styling them, but Jiang Feng was still cooking unhurriedly.

After finishing this, Jiang Feng also started to process the first-grade tofu. The first-grade tofu is relatively simple, just cut it into long squares and place them on the plate, adding some embellishments to each long square.

 When the vegetable soup in the casserole is simmered, the ingredients in this pot will have completed their mission.

 This step is to make the soup.

Jiang Feng poured the soup into a bowl, which contained mushrooms, bamboo shoots, white fungus, fungus, etc., closed the lid, and put it in the steamer to steam.

 The time he set is to steam over low heat for 30 minutes.

 Gordon looked at the time and saw that there were only 31 minutes left before the end of the game.

Very tight schedule.

Can you make it?

Gordon frowned.

Even if you have time, the shape of a bowl of steamed vegetables will not be very unique.

　　Although it may be delicious, a bowl will always be inferior to someone else's carefully arranged presentation.

Perhaps it's because Jiang Feng is a private chef and not a top restaurant chef.

Gordon thought to himself.

However, the first-grade tofu made by Jiang Feng is a real high-quality dish.

Authentic first-grade tofu requires beef and eggs, but the competition does not allow it, so Jiang Feng naturally has no use for it. The stewed tofu will be white, tender, rich in nutrients, with crispy skin and full elasticity.

With the addition of chili, chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, and vegetable stock, it is a masterpiece.

The method is also simple, just fry the tofu until both sides are golden brown, then add seasonings and simmer in a pot to reduce the juice.

Finally, lay out the tofu piece by piece, arrange the eight pieces of tofu neatly, and sprinkle some chopped green onion around it, and it's done.

Yipin Tofu is also a dish for the Manchu-Han Banquet, but the Yipin Tofu at the Manchu-Hanban Banquet is more complicated.

 This dish made by Jiang Feng is relatively simple.

Even so, when a plate of exquisite tofu is placed on the plate, it does not need any decoration, and it is full of style.

Each piece of tofu is square and square, thanks to Jiang Feng's exquisite knife skills.

 Needless to say, the taste of tofu is also excellent.

Gordon walked around the other chefs, and finally stopped in front of Jiang Feng's stove.

 “The tofu in Chinese food is incredible!”

“This is really a magical delicacy that only Chinese chefs can handle so well.”

Gordon was full of praise for the tofu on display and even thought about tasting it now.

 At this time, the game is coming to an end.

Jiang Feng just sticks to making Yipin Tofu.

 To keep the tofu hot.

 It is a hot dish after all, and it tastes best when it is hot.

At this time, it was time to set up the steamer. Jiang Feng sped up and immediately opened the steamer and took out the bowl of delicious vegetables.

Gordon likes to remind chefs that they don't have much time when they are in a hurry.

Such a program works very well and makes him look stern.

  It is basically an inherent link.

Seeing Jiang Feng busy, Gordon deliberately reminded loudly:

“Chef Jiang Feng, there's one minute left before the deadline.”

 “No further operations are allowed after the deadline.”

"Boost!"

Hearing his words, Jiang Feng looked as usual and was not in any hurry.

 Only one minute, the last bowl is full of broth, what to do with the steamed mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

 Is it just setting out a bowl?

That's not pretty.

They are all top chefs, so a dish like this would not look good.

 But Jiang Feng felt that there was more than enough time.

 The other chefs have finished cooking, and everyone's eyes are focused on Jiang Feng.

 The cameras were all focused on Jiang Feng.

 Then, Jiang Feng's expression remained normal, and he brought over a white porcelain plate.

 The porcelain plate is very clean, very thin, and concave in the middle.

 Amid people's surprised gazes, Jiang Feng turned the bowl upside down on the porcelain plate.

 Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Feng wore heat-resistant gloves and carefully lifted the bowl.

 I saw a beautiful dish appearing in the middle of the porcelain plate.

 is an inverted bowl structure, surrounded by translucent colors, with an umbrellshaped mushroom at the top.

 Very beautiful.

Jiang Feng had already considered this step when placing the bowls.

 At that time, he placed the white fungus on the side and put a piece of mushroom at the bottom, just for this moment.

 When turned upside down, it is a beautiful work of art.

"Oh My God!"

Gordon was stunned by this scene.

 This is Chinese food. You don't know what will happen until the last step.

Different from other chefs who work **** styling, Jiang Feng has prepared everything in advance.

This is not over yet.

Jiang Feng took another spoonful of vegetarian soup and poured it gently on the edge of the plate.

The originally white porcelain plate was instantly filled with light yellow vegetarian soup, making the artistic conception of this dish even more beautiful.

  Dinghu Shangsu, completed!

Jiang Feng put down the spoon and stood there.

At this time, an alarm sounds, indicating the end of the cooking time.

 Everything is just right.

Jiang Feng didn't show any panic, and his whole person exuded strong confidence.

 Seeing this scene, Gordon was extremely shocked.

Having seen so many top chefs, Jiang Feng gave him the most special feeling.

That kind of confidence, elegance, and restraint can make people feel a strong foundation from him.

Moreover, Jiang Feng is currently the youngest contestant in the All-Star Culinary Masters Competition.

  Such people are really rare.

Gordon was thinking about how many masters there were in that ancient country.

 In his heart, China was once again shrouded in a mysterious veil. (End of chapter)
