Gourmets of the Heavens

Chapter 112 Undercurrent Light Movement (33, please recommend tickets!!)

"Is it a variation of the Italian tomato-spiced fish steak?"

Zhao Youqian looked at the dishes in front of him and showed a smile.

"Although it's just a different cooking method, there are many things that need to be made up!"

Regardless of the change between fried cod and steamed cod, the difference in taste is completely different. Frying is to reduce the water content of the fish to concentrate the umami of the fish and bring out the rich oily aroma inside the cod.

But steamed fish is different. The cooking method of steaming is to keep the original flavor of the ingredients as much as possible, and to keep the water in the fish fully. Even steaming will reduce the umami taste of some fish due to the spread of water vapor.

This is also where the diving steamed fish made by Kitajo Miyoko was deducted points. Although the steamed fish looks perfect, it is actually too big!

At that time, there was nothing wrong with the fish being tender and delicious, but part of the internal water and umami taste still leaked out, and other methods must be used to make up for it, which Miyoko Kitajo did not do.

Looking at the confident eyes of the Aldini brothers, Zhao Youqian picked up the spoon.

First, I smashed the crispy pan-fried cod fillets, then mixed the cod skin with a spoon, scooped up a piece of sauce and fish meat, and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Um?"

Showing a hint of surprise, Zhao Youqian nodded.

"It is very smart to use the steamed fish broth to pour back the fish. I also added a little fish broth to the spicy tomato sauce, so that the taste of the cod itself is complemented, and the fried fish skin also has a rich pan-fried flavor. The flavor and taste are not always tender and smooth.”

"You are qualified, I will give you an A-level evaluation!"

Seeing the two smiling happily, Zhao Youqian sighed slightly.

"Unfortunately, only one person in the audience had the chance to achieve A+, but there was a problem with the finished product."

Sweeping at the students who had already finished, he shook his head.

"Mr. Zhao, why, is it impossible for our dishes to get A+?"

Hearing Zhao Youqian's sigh, Takmi Aldini spoke in dissatisfaction.

"elder brother."

Isami Aldini tugged on his brother's sleeve, but he knew that it was not a good thing to bump into the instructor in class, especially Zhao Youqian didn't seem to be the talkative type.

"Test in class, it's good that you have mastered the exam questions, but you have to know how to surpass the exam questions!"

"Are those problematic ingredients really just traps?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Youqian stood up, and then came to the empty space where only a few fish were found to be problematic.

"Let me tell you how to solve the problem with an A+ evaluation!"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, what he was going to say now was the real theory he was going to teach today!

And when Zhao Youqian stood up, a person who had been silently watching from the window outside the classroom finally turned and left.

She knew that Zhao Youqian's teaching would be smooth sailing.

"Master Erina, don't you want to stop watching?"

Hisako Nido showed a hint of surprise, seeing Nakiri Erina who was running away, she couldn't help speeding up her pace and gave chase a few times.

"No need, I just wanted to see if he would screw up, but I didn't expect...he unexpectedly did a good job!"

Nakiri Erina's blond hair jumped with her steps, but her expression was not as relaxed as she said in her words.

"Zhao Youqian's approach is completely different from Yuanyue's regular teaching. It is a big show. If the teaching style is incompatible with other teachers'

A genius is also a human being, once he is isolated by other teachers, even with the support of the Nakiri family, it may be difficult for Zhao Yougan to open up the situation in Yuanyue.

Especially when other teachers squeezed him out, it was hard to say whether the students would continue to be convinced by Zhao Youqian because of his performance in the audit examination.

And Yuanyue's current authority and ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Yuanyue's internal voices that do not want to change or reform are everywhere.

Zhao Youqian is off to a good start now, but it's hard to say whether he can transform these new students through his methods, or even survive these three years.

‘Hmph, why do I think so much, I just hope he can hold on for a while, don’t embarrass the Nakiri family! '

Not knowing what to think of, Nakiri Erina accelerated her pace and headed towards her own cooking research room.

At this time, in classroom b-233 just now, Zhao Youqian picked up a squid whose scales were still shiny, but the head was shriveled a lot, and the fish eyes that should be moist when fresh were also sunken.

This is one of the freshwater bass that is often eaten, the scientific name is largemouth bass.

"This is the ingredient you gave up. Do you remember the reason?"

Zhao Youqian glanced at the only examinee who chose this fish.

"Why did you choose this fish?"

Suddenly being named, the already shy girl blushed even more, but she still opened her mouth.

"This fish is not fresh, but the scales on the outside are still shiny, which means that it is not corrupt or broken. Although the fish's eyes are no longer bright, I touched the inside of the fish and found that it was a bit dry. So I think using this fish to dry it overnight and then steam it with sea salt and lemon will have a good flavor”

Hearing what the girl said, many students showed very different eyes. When they were choosing fish, they didn't seem to look at the problems with the fish that were found to be problematic, and they didn't check the discarded ingredients. .

Instead, an unremarkable girl did it, and got a special ingredient.

If they remember correctly, this girl got a B+ grade evaluation that is second only to A grade.

And she seems to be called Tian Suohui? !

"Yes, your idea is not wrong, and you have considered that when everyone is serving steamed fish, the chewy texture of overnight-dried fish will make people feel different, and it will make diners remember that the only There is a problem with the way it is handled!"

Zhao Youqian nodded, and was quite satisfied with one of the heroines in the original book. He was able to get to this point, not to mention the basic skills. At least the breadth of thinking about cooking has surpassed all the students present.

"So you are optimistic now, how do I deal with it!"

I saw Zhao Youqian directly put the somewhat shriveled largemouth bass on the cooking table, first removed the scales with a knife, and then cut open the abdomen.

Unlike other fish, the guts of this specially dried fish have been cleaned.

Zhao Youqian just scraped off the remaining blood clots in the inner cavity, then cut the spine part of the inner cavity, and then took a paper towel to clean up the blood in the spine, and stopped moving.

Then he went to the fire and took out a saucepan.

Put oil on it, put this broken sea bass directly into it for frying!

Then while frying, start to preheat the oven and steamer, and spread tin foil on the baking tray, and pour it full of coarse sea salt!

"What is this for? Steamed fish?"

Many students whispered to each other, but they didn't understand what Zhao Youqian wanted to do.

Only Wisteria You Er stood up, it was the first time he saw Zhao Yougan cooking with his own eyes, and he couldn't help showing a smile.

And at some point, his hand turned his back and pressed a switch.
