"The high-end ingredients really only need simple cooking."
McGonagall smelled the fragrance floating in the air and turned his lamb chops upside down.
The fragrance in the air was quite attractive, but for MEG, it was a little dull.
That's the flavor of the main ingredients themselves. For example, the yellow croaker in Iman next door, after being steamed, the flavor of the fish itself can be amplified and become more attractive.
But... That's it.
Although he also agrees with the concept of high-end ingredients and simple methods.
However, if high-end food materials can be matched with high-end practices, it is bound to be able to abandon the former.
In the current mainstream cooking concept of the underground city, health is the first, followed by the flavor of the food.
It's not that there is anything wrong with these two points, but if we pay too much attention to these two points, we often lose many other tastes.
Just like people who only eat fresh fish soup, they can't taste the sour taste of hot and sour fish fillets and the spicy taste of spicy roast fish.
The seven players on the scene obviously follow this concept.
Whether it's Stewed xuanyugui or steamed huanglongyu, it can't escape this law.
This is also the reason why half of the judges are not optimistic about him, which is contrary to their culinary philosophy.
The lamb chops turned over, and the fragrance just floated down again.
Carbon grilled lamb chops are not as fast as they can cook with high-end kitchen utensils. What they pay attention to is slow roasting over a small fire. Otherwise, if they are not cooked inside and outside, they will be stretched.
McGonagall was not in a hurry. It was only half the time. He didn't have to fight with them for the useless first serving.
"It's really xuanyugui. Qingdun can give off such an attractive fragrance."
"I think Iman's yellow croaker is more delicious. Although it's steamed, the secret sauce makes it more delicious. It's worthy of being an apprentice of Julian."
"The delicious smell of huanglongyu is really good, which vaguely suppresses other kinds of fragrance."
The judges were not idle. They began to smell and evaluate first. Several contestants were evaluated, most of them were positive praise.
"Strangely, I didn't smell mutton at all?" Julian looked at MEG and said with a smile, "is the charcoal fire out?"
"It's not normal to smell it. Other players choose the best food. The smell of black sheep must be completely suppressed. When choosing food, players should consider this aspect." David said, it's a wake-up call for other players. In the later competition, the choice of food materials needs to be more careful.
Nancy looked at McGonagall, his expression is still calm, holding a brush in his hand, not slow to oil the lamb chops, it seems that he was not affected by the evaluation of the judges.
This concentration and calm made Nancy a little stunned.
"Sure enough, a man who works hard has a special charm?" Nancy came back to her senses and couldn't help laughing in her heart. She didn't expect that she was stunned to see a player. This situation hasn't happened yet.
"Come on, sheep! Brother Hades, come on
"Can only high-end ingredients make delicious food? Do these judges eat yellow croaker every day? "
"I don't care. Anyway, I support brother justice! Counter attack! Please hit me in the face
"This is the first time I see food I can afford in the kitchen King competition. I hope I can get good results!"
Compared with the judges' pessimistic prediction of McGonagall, the network barrage showed a completely opposite attitude, with a lot of support.
"Referee, I'm done!" The player who chose Xuan Yugui, Alfonso, was the first to finish the competition.
The live camera cuts to Alfonso's stove and zooms in on the dishes.
The shell of Xuanyu Turtle was taken away, cut into several pieces of stewed Xuanyu Turtle was put together to form a whole turtle, and carved a crystal clear turtle shell dress with some melon outside, which had a different aesthetic feeling.
McGonagall took the time to look at the big screen. The carving of the turtle shell is very lifelike. It also makes full use of the transparency of the melon, making the dishes more beautiful.
The cooking method of Qingdun is very simple, but the carved turtle shell is enough to add a lot of points to it.
That's what the restaurant calls: it's useless, but the price is sure to quadruple.
"Referee, I've done it, too." Immediately after that, Yiman beside McGonagall also raised his hand to signal to the referee.
The camera immediately switches to Yiman's stove. Inside the long fish plate, a golden dragon fish stands in the clouds. It seems that it is about to soar into the clouds. Several kinds of rocks and water plants carved with radish and melon add a bit of artistic conception to this dish.
McGonagall nodded slightly. Yiman's cooking skills are really good. Whether it's knife work, or the control of the heat, as well as the imagination of setting the plate, they are much better than xuanyugui. With the presentation of this dish, the top four should be stable.
"Wow! This yellow croaker is so beautiful, isn't it! It will be delicious! "
"I'm not as good as the dragon."
"It's worthy of being the chief disciple of Tucker hotel. Praise chef Iman!"
As the dishes of the players began to appear, the audience also began to become active.
According to the rules of the kitchen King competition, the finished dishes will be sent to the judges at the first time, and the judges will taste and score on the spot, so as to ensure the best eating state.
The score of other players will naturally affect the state of the unfinished players, and the program group plays with the heartbeat.
Alfonso's Stewed xuanyugui and Iman's steamed huanglongyu were brought to the jury.
There is a conveyor belt on the table of the judges. Two dishes move slowly in front of the judges to ensure that each judge can observe the details of the dishes and smell the taste of the dishes.
The two dishes are put together, the beauty is clear at a glance, the cooking method of steaming, excellent preservation of the shape of the yellow croaker, exquisite plate is a lot of extra points.
And although the Xuanyu turtle stewed in a crystal bowl, there is a significant difference between the two.
"The shape and exquisite appearance of the yellow croaker are preserved by steaming. The secret flower knife ensures the taste and hardly destroys the appearance of the fish. The idea of Yiman player is very clever." David exclaimed.
All the judges also nodded their heads and approved of Iman.
"Alfonso's idea is also very exquisite. After the Xuan jade shell of the Xuan Jade Turtle was taken away, the crystal melon carving was used as a substitute. The carving is exquisite and the effect is good The old Hunter commented on Alfonso's works.
After setting the table and appreciating the appearance, the most important play is tasting.
Staff will fish and turtle soup to the judges were served a, for the judges to taste evaluation.
