Chapter 643
Mehans slapped his hands: "Okay! Since you are interested in competing with me, it is also my luck. To be honest, before I came to Italy more than 20 years ago, no one could match my understanding and mastery of Chinese cuisine. Today I will see if I have lost those skills!"
The old monster in Tianshan was infected by his enthusiasm. Although this person served St, he didn't look like a bad person in any way. I guess he insisted on being an ordinary chef here because of his love for cooking.
Xiao Hanshui and Yang Hui sat steadily in the restaurant and waited, and two people over 50 years old entered the kitchen.
When there were only two people left in the kitchen, Meihans stared at the old monster in Tianshan without moving, with sharp eyes.
"What? What's the problem?" asked the old monster in Tianshan.
"You are probably not just Orientals. When I was young, before I came to Italy, I saw a man who came from a nameless land that I didn't know. He had incredible skills and cooking techniques that I had never seen before. The man's strange temperament would always remain in the deepest part of my memory. But the moment I saw you, I felt that from your walking posture and voice, I knew that you were the nameless land, right?" Mehans asked a question very confidently, but instead seemed to be asking questions.
The old monster in Tianshan slowly put his hands behind his back: "What? If I were, what's the difference?"
Meihans' eyes moved, and when he heard it with his own ear, he seemed to not believe it: "Of course it's different... I don't have an opponent in China, but he defeated me without any effort. Compared with you, I still have no confidence in winning, because your abilities have exceeded my imagination."
The old monster in Tianshan silently said: "You are not wrong, but... I don't plan to compete with you with internal strength. I will cook like you, relying entirely on both hands and wisdom, so we will be completely fair."
Mehans doesn't believe it: "Really?"
"certainly."
"If you win, what do you want?"
The old monster in Tianshan didn't expect that he would ask this question. It seemed that the simple competition had changed. Since that's the case, then you might as well compare something.
"I won't want anything. I just want you to do something for me and I won't be too embarrassed." The old monster in Tianshan didn't say it clearly. Mei Hans wanted to ask, but the old monster in Tianshan seemed to not allow it.
"Start, don't waste time." said the old monster in Tianshan.
The kitchen area is not very big, and the food is just the ones on the menu, but they are all carefully selected and freshest things, which shows that Mehans has extremely high requirements for ingredients.
The old monster in Tianshan plans to make authentic Chinese dishes, Dongpo pork. Most Westerners don’t like it because it is sweet and salty, and it is very oily, but it has been praised by the Chinese for thousands of years. The taste of southern Chinese people is very rare. The choice and treatment of meat and the selection of side dishes are very critical. The meat is not good, too tickle or too soft, and it is directly determined to be a failure. If the side dishes are not selected well, it will feel delicious at the beginning, but it will soon become very greasy. If a dish is to vomit after eating, I will definitely not succeed, so how to make Dongpo pork with smooth and delicious, fat and thin, and perfect taste and taste is a very great knowledge.
The old monster in Tianshan had never eaten this dish before leaving the world of cultivation because it was too regular and the ingredients were monotonous. No one in the world of cultivation even studied it specifically because it was too simple to use internal energy to make it, but it was different after coming to this world. People here love this dish. Because of the limitations of ability, the delicious Dongpo pork was enough to satisfy their taste buds. The old monster had never learned or cooked it. But just like people who have read many books, you only need to look at the title to know what the content is like.
Italians don’t like to eat pork, so the pork prepared is very limited, so there is no seven-layer pork belly at all. The old monster in Tianshan looked at a piece of lean meat on top and layered with fat meat underneath, and held his cheeks.
"How about changing one dish, not pork belly, how can you make authentic Dongpo pork?" Meihans said from the side.
The old monster in Tianshan doesn’t care: “But the two juniors who came with me today want to eat Dongpo pork, and I don’t want to change it. This problem is not difficult for me.”
The old monster in Tianshan patted a large piece of meat, picked it up and threw it on the chopping board. When he was using Qi to use his hand knife, he suddenly remembered something, put it down again, raised his hand and took a handy knife. He couldn't remember how many years hadn't used the knife, and the cold iron felt pretty good.
As I started and fell, a piece of meat as big as a bowl was cut off, just in the middle, completely round, and a hole was exposed in the middle of the remaining piece and was thrown aside.
Then he bent down and cut two millimeters along the junction between fat and lean meat, carefully,
After coming out, the top layer of lean meat was covered with white fat.
Meihans was curious. Seeing that he didn't know what to do, he quickly understood. The old monster of Tianshan profitably shaved off the top layer of pig skin, then cut the remaining fat into slices with a thickness of two millimeters, a total of four slices, and then cut the lean meat into slices with a thickness of three millimeters, a total of six slices. He wanted to create pork belly by himself, no, it was ten layers of pork belly!
Meihans had to be amazed at the cleverness of the old monster in Tianshan, and such a wonderful way to get along with each other! But...
However, there are still disadvantages to doing this, because the fatty meat in whole fat is different from the fatty meat in pork belly, and the taste is more greasy, and it is easier to feel too oily when eaten, and the taste may not be so fusion.
The old monster in Tianshan didn't seem to be worried, but he actually picked up the remaining meat he had just abandoned and picked the skin on it!
He made a lot of crosses of three slices of meat to make it taste better, and then started to mix the sauce.
Sauce is the soul of a dish, which determines how fast it tastes. During the cooking process, the sauce is also very important for marinating the meat. If it is marinated, the meat is not full. If it is not marinated thoroughly, the taste is not good.
I personally cooked brown syrup and added various seasonings. Each ratio was very accurate. With so many years of experience, there was absolutely no mistake.
Vinegar is also needed, but the old monster of Tianshan picked up the vinegar bottle and put it down again. After thinking about it, he found lemon, orange and mint, and mixed lemon and orange juice, then added the mashed mint and left it for a while. The mint was taken out and the juice was poured into the sauce in front.
When it is served, it is dark brown, and the rich fragrance is mixed with a little medicinal fragrance. This is a common method used by Chinese people. A little medicinal fragrance can enhance appetite.
Take out part of the sauce, heat the olive oil in the pot, pour the sauce into the olive oil, and clearly layered it. When it is heated to the right temperature, put the skin in it. Only the sound of the skin is heard. Soon the color of the skin begins to change. When it is completely immersed in the sauce, half of the skin has dried. At this time, I am afraid that it will feel crispy. The old monster in Tianshan took out the skin. At this moment, the fat on it has probably been boiled out. He put it.
