Mehans clapped his hands: "Good!
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, my understanding and mastery of Chinese cuisine was unmatched, today let's see if I have lost those skills!
” The old monster of Tianshan was infected by his enthusiasm, although this man worked for Sturt, but he did not look like a bad person in any way, presumably he insisted on being an ordinary chef here because of his love for cooking.
Xiao Hanshui and Yang Hui sat firmly in the dining room and waited, and the two people who were over half a hundred years old entered the kitchen.
When there were only two people left in the kitchen, Mehans stared at the old monster of the Tianshan Mountains without moving, his eyes sharp.
"What?
What's the problem?
The old monster of the Tianshan Mountain asked.
"I'm afraid you are not only Orientals, when I was young, that is, before I came to Italy, I saw a person, he came from an unknown place I didn't know, he had incredible skills, and the cooking techniques were something I had never seen before, and that person's strange temperament will always remain in the deepest part of my memory, but the moment I saw you, I felt it, from the way you walked and the sound of your walking, I knew that you were the people of the nameless land, right?"
Mehans asked questions with great certainty, but it didn't look like he was asking a question.
The old monster of Tianshan leisurely put his hands behind his back: "What?
If I am, what's the difference?
” Mehans's eyes moved, and when he heard it with his own ears, he seemed to not believe it: "Of course it's different...
I have no opponent in the country, but he defeated me without much effort, and compared to you, I still have no certainty of winning, because your ability has exceeded my imagination. ” The old monster of Tianshan was silent: "What you said is not wrong, but...
I'm not going to use my internal strength to compete with you, I'm going to be like you, and I'm going to cook with my hands and wisdom, so we're completely fair. ” Mehans didn't believe it: "Really?
” "Of course."
"If you win, what do you want?"
The old monster of Tianshan didn't expect him to ask like this, it was originally just a simple competition that seems to have changed, since this is the case, then you might as well compare something.
"I won't ask for anything, I just want you to do something for me, and I won't be too embarrassed."
The old monster of the Tianshan Mountain didn't say it clearly, and Mehans wanted to ask, but the patience of the old monster of the Tianshan didn't seem to allow it.
"Let's get started, don't waste time."
The old monster of the Tianshan Mountains said.
The kitchen isn't that big, and the food is only on the menu, but it's all carefully selected for the freshest things, and you can see that Mehans is very demanding about ingredients.
Tianshan old monster intends to do authentic Chinese food, Dongpo meat, the average Westerner does not like to eat, because sweet and salty intersect, and very oily, but it has been respected by the Chinese for thousands of years, the character of the taste of southern China, but can do the ultimate Dongpo meat is also very rare, meat selection and processing, the choice of side dishes are very critical, meat is not good, too chai or too soft, directly determined as a failure, if the side dishes are not selected well, at first eat will feel delicious, but soon it will be very greasy, a dish, If I want to vomit after eating, I will definitely not succeed, so how to make smooth and delicious, fat and thin, perfect texture and taste of Dongpo meat is a very big knowledge.
The old monster of the Tianshan Mountains had never eaten this dish before leaving the cultivation world, because it was too conformist, and the ingredients were monotonous, and no one in the cultivation world even went to study it, because it was too simple to use internal force to make it, but after coming to this world, it was different, the people here loved this dish, because the ability xiànzhì, the delicious Dongpo meat was enough to satisfy their taste buds, the old monster had never learned or done it, but just like people who have read a lot of books, they only need to look at the name 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, and the old monster of Tianshan looked at a piece of fat on the top and a lean meat on the bottom and pondered, holding his cheeks.
"Why don't you just change it, it's not pork belly, how do you make authentic Dongpo meat?"
Mehans said on the side.
The old monster of Tianshan didn't care: "But the two juniors who came with me today want to eat Dongpo meat, and I don't want to change it, this problem is not difficult for me." ” The old monster of Tianshan patted a large piece of meat, picked it up neatly and threw it on the board, suddenly remembered something when he used the hand knife in Ningqi, put it down again, raised his hand and took a knife that was still in hand, I can't remember how many years I haven't used a knife, and the cold iron feels pretty good.
In the middle of the hand, a bowl of meat was cut off, and the position was exactly in the middle, completely round, and the remaining piece had a hole in the middle and was thrown aside.
Immediately, he bent down and cut two millimeters along the boundary between fat and lean meat, carefully, When it comes out, the top layer of lean meat has white fat.
Mehans was curious, seeing that he didn't know what to do like this, but he soon understood, the old monster of the Tianshan Mountain profitably shaved off the top layer of pigskin, and 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 the pork belly by himself, no, it was ten layers of pork belly!
Mehans had to marvel at the cleverness of the old monster of the Tianshan Mountains, and he could get along in such a wonderful way!
But...
However, there are still drawbacks to this, because the fat in whole fat and pork belly is different, the taste is more greasy, and it is easier to feel too oily when eating, and the taste may not be so integrated.
The old monster of Tianshan didn't look worried, but he actually picked up the leftover meat that he had just discarded, and removed the skin on it!
He opened the three pieces of meat skin a lot of crosses to better absorb the flavor, and then began to adjust the sauce.
Sauce is the soul of a dish, determines how fast the taste is, in the process of cooking the sauce is also very critical to the marinade of the meat, if it is marinated, the meat is not full, if the marinade is not thorough, the taste is insufficient, it is not good.
I boiled the brown syrup myself, and then added a variety of spices, each ratio is very precise, with so many years of experience, there is absolutely no mistake.
Vinegar is also needed, but the old monster of Tianshan picked up the vinegar bottle and put it down, thought about it, found lemons, oranges and mint, lemons and oranges squeezed juice to mix, and then added mashed mint and left it for a while, the mint was fished out, and the juice was poured into the sauce in front.
When it is served out, it is dark brown, and the rich fragrance is mixed with a little medicinal fragrance, which is a common method used by Chinese people, and some medicinal fragrance can increase appetite more.
Take out a part of the sauce, heat the olive oil in the pot, pour the sauce into the olive oil, layer it clearly, wait until it is heated to the right temperature, put the meat skin in, only hear the sound of the second and second time, and soon the color of the meat skin begins to change, and when it is completely immersed in the sauce, the meat skin has half dried out, at this time I am afraid that there will be a crispy feeling when eating, the old monster of Tianshan took out the meat skin, and at this moment the fat on it may have been boiled out, he added the impregnated meat skin evenly to the meat, and then put the whole piece of meat in the sauce, The low heat began to boil, and the viscous juice in it was gurgling during the whole process, and after about half an hour, the inside slowly dried, and some water had to be added to continue cooking, but the old monster of Tianshan went to get fresh bamboo shoots and white radish with a lot of water, and slowly sprinkled it around the meat, and soon, the high temperature overflowed the moisture of these two vegetables.
