Seeing the others waiting for him to taste the beef first, Yuan Zhou let head chef opello eat first. Yuan Zhou had always been impeccable in terms of etiquette. Therefore, opello didn’t refuse him. He took the lead and picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
After that, Yuan Zhou and the other chefs began to eat. The color was already red and bright when it was put into the mouth. The moment it was put into the mouth, there was a strong fragrance unique to the beef, mixed with a little milk fragrance.
Before the stew, it should have been fried with fire, and the control of the fire was quite good. When biting the meat, the first thing was the slightly burnt skin. After biting open, the gravy would surge out, and the tender meat inside would also reveal its original appearance. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was quite good.
“When you were making the beef Soup, you used a salad to fry it, and it’s a sauce-style one at that. That’s really innovative, but it’s a good innovation. It makes the texture of the beef more rich.” Yuan Zhou immediately sensed the innovation in this dish of Chu Xiao.
“That’s right. I think this sauce can improve the taste of the beef and highlight the original flavor of the beef. ” Chu Xiao nodded his head reservedly. He felt that it was reasonable for Yuan Zhou to be able to taste it immediately. It would be strange if he couldn ‘t.
Zola-fried was a sauce commonly used in nianyao and Malay. Zola-fried was a transliteration. More accurately, it was called Malayas. The general method was to wrap small silver prawns with salt water, then dry them in the sun and mash them. After grinding them, dry them in the sun a second time, and finally add chili, prawns, and peanuts to make a sauce. Many people were not used to it because it had a special taste similar to decay.
The amount that Chu Xiao added was carefully calculated. It wouldn’t have that kind of special taste, but it would still highlight the rich layers of the beef.
“But you can try the brick style of Bora pan-fry, which is more in line with the theme of your dish. There are no other problems. It’s a perfect dish.” After Yuan Zhou tasted the side dishes, he continued to make comments.
“I’ll try it in the afternoon. ” Chu Xiao immediately said.
After tasting Chu Xiao’s dishes, it was time for the others “dishes. Opello’s junior Brother was also making his specialty Singapore Chicken Rice. Dehua li and the others also brought out their own specialties, such as the Red Lantern meat of the Li family, mango fish with chili and Vietnam fried rice. Yuan Zhou tasted them one by one and gave his comments. Yuan Zhou had always been very serious at the exchange meeting.
The Red Lantern meat of the Li family really surprised Yuan Zhou.
Opello also appeared to be very serious. However, he was just a little more serious than Yuan Zhou when he spoke. Perhaps it was because they had a good relationship.
In contrast, Chu Xiao ... Seemed to be slacking?
......
The exchange was very successful.
“The sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the flowers are smiling at me ...” The alarm that Yuan Zhou had set on purpose rang, indicating that the exchange in the morning was coming to an end. Although the chefs were still looking forward to it, they still had the afternoon, the next day, and the day after.
After that, everyone followed Yuan Zhou. Why? of course, it was to line up for the meal. It was a benefit to come here to have an exchange and eat the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou. There was no reason not to enjoy the benefits.
Therefore, in the next two days, the customers of the restaurant would find that no matter if it was breakfast, lunch, or even dinner, there would be ten more people who were good at snatching seats with Chu Xiao as the head.
It was also because the divine beast was not around that the customers were not strong enough. The seats from number one to ten were often taken away. Only during breakfast could Wang Hong still compete with them. It couldn’t be helped. After these Masters finished their exchange with Yuan Zhou, they immediately came to line up. With such a positive attitude, it would be strange if they didn’t line up at the front.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon the afternoon of the third day, the last half of the exchange.
Yesterday, under Yuan Zhou’s guidance on the first day, opello had a new idea and made a dish with a completely different taste from the chili crab he had made before. However, due to the sauce, there was still a slight difference. Today, at the end, he adjusted the taste again. This was what he thought was the most perfect ratio, but it needed Yuan Zhou’s approval.
Although the three-day exchange wasn’t long, it was definitely enough to make all the chefs present agree with Chu Xiao’s point of view that the best Chef in Asia was Yuan Zhou!
Opello hadn’t felt this kind of slightly nervous mood for a long time. He stared at Yuan Zhou as he tasted the chili crab that he thought was the most perfect dish.
“Yes, head chef opello, your idea is right. This chili crab indeed highlights its original taste. However, head chef opello has returned to Singapore, and the main ingredients have changed, so the condiments will also change accordingly. Of course, I believe that head chef opello will pay attention to this without me saying it. However, I have a small suggestion, such as reducing the number of hogwash leaves from three to two. This way, although the fragrance will be a little weaker, I believe it will be more suitable for the Singaporean crab.” Yuan Zhou suggested seriously after he tasted it carefully.
“Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Opello’s lips trembled, and he was a little excited. As for the reason for his excitement, perhaps only the people involved knew.
After all, they were all walking in this world, and everyone had a story.
“The purpose of the exchange is to improve our cooking skills. I also learned a lot from this exchange.” Yuan Zhou said.
The exchange meeting this time came to an end while Yuan Zhou and opello were talking.
At night, opello invited Chu Xiao to have tea together.
“Chu, after three days of communication, how far do you think your cooking skills are from Yuan ‘s?” Opello asked casually.
He knew that Chu Xiao admired Yuan Zhou very much and had even argued with him about the first place in Asia before.
“The difference is one point.” Chu Xiao said with great confidence.
As Yuan Zhou’s mortal enemy, this one point could be surpassed for the rest of his life.
“One point? I feel that my cooking skills are two points worse than head chef Yuan ‘s. ” Opello sighed.
“Why do you say that?” Chu Xiao knew opello’s culinary skills very well. He believed that opello’s culinary skills were even better than his by half a point. Therefore, he was really curious why opello still said that he was two points lower than Yuan Zhou.
“In fact, when I first tried to change the taste of my mother’s cooking, the taste I wanted to pursue was the taste of the food made by my grandmother when I was young. However, as I grew older, my memory of taste deteriorated. This path was too hard, and I even went astray. “Although I’ve walked a new path, it’s the complete opposite of the path I’ve always been looking for. That day, head chef Yuan’s dish reminded me of the taste of my grandmother’s food. It’s not that it’s the same as my grandmother ‘s. Although Rationally Speaking, my grandmother’s food is not as good as head chef Yuan’ s, in my memory, I still think that my grandmother’s food is the best and I will never be able to eat it again.”
“Head chef Yuan, you remind me of that feeling. I think that is the most traditional taste of Singapore cuisine. I still need to go back and sort out the details, but that is the direction I will be heading in from now on.” “One point for authentic, one point for cooking, so two points,” opello said.
“It’s like this,” Chu Xiao fell into deep thought.
The two of them stopped talking and slowly sipped their tea, deep in thought.
