Chapter 485 Splendid Lobster
At this time, the photographer was taking long-range shots in all the venues, and suddenly the camera was frozen at Xia Jing's place. The director found Xia Jing with a beautiful appearance and a good figure, and the chef's uniform was very pleasant, and the one and only blue lobster was made. It was so interesting that the director immediately asked for follow-up to focus on the No. 012 contestant.
The director is also familiar with the audience's preferences. Today's society is all about eyeball economy and good looks. It's not uncommon to cook on the spot, and there are fewer beautiful female chefs. Therefore, Xia Jing has received attention from the beginning. She Every move, through the live broadcast signal, spread to thousands of households.With Xia Jing's appearance, it is estimated that the ratings will be increased by a few points out of thin air.
"Come on Xia Jing!"
"Xia Jing, Xia Jing, we will always like you!"
Seeing the close-up shot of Xia Jing on the big screen of the live broadcast, all the relatives and friends in the audience held up the light sticks and solidarity signs they had prepared, cheering and shaking, which attracted the attention of the audience again. Some of them thought it was the explosive actress on stage.
So Xia Jing became the prettiest kid on stage right after she started the competition.
"Hmph, sensationalism and coquettishness."
Xia Jing's kitchen next door is a male chef in his twenties named Hou Bin. He claims to be a new generation of chefs and a young Chinese master. He came to the competition to win the championship. According to his opinion, he should be praised. Praise from all sides.
However, Xia Jing attracted the attention of most people, which made him very upset, who likes to show off, and despised Xia Jing in his heart.
In his eyes, women should wash and cook at home and nurse their children. It is the original sin to run out to join the master chef.
"I'll show you what real cooking is like!"
Hou Bin was angry, so he used all his strength in the preliminary round, flying up and down with a chef's knife, and deftly dismembered the Aolong in his hand and dismembered it into several pieces.
This skilled knife work is much more fancy than Xia Jing's, so he quickly "robbed" the camera, which made Hou Bin proud.
"Judge Zhang, please comment on the knife skills of contestant No. 013." The host interrupted at the right time.
"Very solid knife skills," Judge Zhang said. "He has at least five years of experience. I found that his knife skills and processing methods are very good. If nothing else happens, he will be a strong contender for the semi-finals."
The judge Zhang was speaking conservatively, but he was actually implying that this No. 013 Hou Bin had basically locked up a place to appear, and his skills could be seen from his knife skills.
"Then please comment on the female player No. 012 next to you. The camera cuts to the side. Everyone is cheering. She seems to be a very popular player."
The host also had a relaxed tone, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, he brought out Xia Jing, the person in charge of popularity.
"This female contestant, uh... We can see that she has a good appearance. It is the first time I have seen such a beautiful female chef in so many years. I am very relieved that the chef world also has such a star-like successor, Hope she keeps it up."
Judge Zhang avoided talking about Xia Jing's cooking skills, but praised her beauty.
The main reason is that Xia Jing's knife skills are not flattering. After all, she has only a few days to learn, and her knife skills are only "usable". Of course, she can't compare with the guy next door in terms of flower work.
In comparison, her knife skills look very amateurish, so the chicken thief's Zhang judge found another way to praise.
As for the blue lobster, he also said that it is relatively rare, but it is far away, and the specific species is unknown.
"Very good, I am looking forward to tasting the craftsmanship of this beauty chef No. 012." The host said cheerfully.
People's aesthetics are almost the same. The host directly gave Xia Jing a nickname. Everyone came to the same conclusion on this point, and no one refuted it.
The cooking competition is going on intensely and orderly, and the contestants are entering the most critical stage of cooking.
Xia Jing put the processed blue lobster into ginger slices, vinegar, etc. for a short period of time, then heated the oil in the pan.
This pot is the Zhangqiu iron pot that Chen Hao brought from his restaurant. After cleaning, pour clean water into it.
While the hot pot was boiling water, Xia Jing chopped up the other ingredients.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, cut the broccoli into small pieces, and slice the straw mushrooms.
These ingredients are premium products selected by Chen Hao from tens of billions of subsidies. Regardless of color or taste, they are definitely the best among the same varieties.
After the pot was boiled, Xia Jing put in the straw mushrooms and boiled them. After they were fully cooked, they were removed and drained.
After cleaning the pot, pour the oil and heat it up, add the scallions and sauté until fragrant, then pour in the broccoli and straw mushrooms and stir fry.
At this time, Xia Jing's ability to turn spoons is reflected, which is one of her best skills. It is not for nothing to be the head chef of the French braised meat shop, and she looks good.
After stir-frying for a few times, Xia Jing put the whole lobster into the steamer, poured a little cooking wine and ginger slices on the bottom of the plate to remove the fishy smell, and steamed it for 10 minutes, and it was basically cooked. Xia Jing used her mobile phone to set the timer.
After domestic stir-fry until the vegetables are slightly soft, add various seasonings, and finally add cherry tomatoes, stir-fry until medium-ripe, then serve and set aside.
In addition, heat up the oil and start cooking the Xia family’s unique and secret sauce. This is the soul of the whole dish. Most chefs know the other steps, but this is the secret of the Xia family’s recipe from the palace.
Xia Jing poured the prepared secret ingredients into the pot, then added the old soup, first boiled on high heat, then turned to low heat to simmer, and when the brown sauce became thick, it was ready to be taken out of the pot.
Xia Jing looked at the time. When the 10-minute steaming time was up, she turned off the heat and opened the steamer. She took out the lobster plate with special tongs and then moved the lobster to a specially prepared platter with the stir-fried ingredients on it. The dishes are arranged according to beautiful patterns, and when the lobster is put on it, it has that flavor. The red cherry tomatoes, dark green broccoli, gray and white straw mushrooms, and blue lobster form a beautiful picture.
However, this dish still lacks some soul, and that is the finishing sauce.
The sauce has been baked on a low fire, turning into a viscous dark brown color, and is constantly bubbling hot in the pot, exuding a unique aroma.
Xia Jing turned off the fire and poured most of the sauce on the lobster. This colorful lobster suddenly changed a lot, as if it had been sublimated. The aroma of the sauce mixed with the deliciousness of the lobster. It is hidden in the lobster meat. Xia Jing believes that the judges will be surprised when they eat the lobster she made.
But this dish is still missing the last step, Xia Jing deliberately left a blank corner on the plate.
She poured the rest of the sauce into the spoon, then used the spoon as a paintbrush, and wrote the words "Splendid Lobster" on the empty space of the plate. This is the name of the dish.
The shrimp is beautiful and the taste is fragrant.
This is the dish introduction designed by Xia Jing. She wrote it on a small piece of paper and placed it on the side of the plate. When the judges see it, they will definitely add some impression points.
The whole dish has been made, Xia Jing pressed the button and raised her hand to indicate that she has finished cooking. The whole process took 19 minutes and 23 seconds.
