Chapter 109 Cooking Talk: Hot Pot for One



When this result came out, the reactions varied.

Students who supported Xiao Jin were somewhat worried.

"This dish will put a lot of pressure on Xiaozi."

"It's not just the pressure. Xiao Jin has to serve the dishes before Wu Shuang. If he comes after Wu Shuang, his tongue, having tasted the spicy food, might not be able to taste the original flavor of the ingredients at all, which might greatly reduce the quality of Xiao Jin's dish."

"This dish really has Wushuang's advantage. She has the advantage whether she's in the front or the back. The spicy flavor is more prominent and can't be masked. She can even mask the flavor of the other dish."

"I don't know what Xiao Jin is going to do."

Those who support frost-free are quite proud.

"Wushuang should win this match. Spicy hotpot is a famous spicy dish."

"This dish I drew is right in Shuangshuang's comfort zone. I'm sure to win!"

"The spicy flavor is so dominant that Frost-free is more advantageous both in the manufacturing process and in the tasting phase."

Of course there are also students who remain neutral.

"But we also have to consider the judges' preferences. Besides, other guests of the hotel will also be participating in the judging, so it depends on whether Wushuang's spicy dishes can be popular with the public."

"Yes, as far as I know, there are many people who don't like spicy food."

"The customer's taste is also a factor. Some people don't like greasy food or spicy food. Men, women, young and old have different preferences. I think it depends on what the two people come up with to judge."

"Speaking of which, although I knew there would be a culinary debate during the training camp, I didn't expect Xiao Jin and Wu Shuang to be the first to clash. I thought it would be a battle between haute cuisine and popular cuisine. Aren't those two the most fiercely argued groups before?"

"I feel like those guys from Haute Cuisine are a bit listless. Didn't you see that Dongfang guy hasn't said anything?"

When several students were chatting about Dongfang, they glanced at each other. Mingyue followed their gaze and looked at the guy named Dongfang.

It just so happened that her eyes met with the man named Dongfang.

The guy suddenly lowered his head and pulled his hat down to cover his face.

Mingyue:?

Isn’t this guy the student who looks familiar to her?

"Alright! Now we hand the stage over to Xiao Jin and Wu Shuang! What kind of culinary feast will they bring us?"

"This cooking competition lasts 40 minutes. The competition begins!"

The hotel manager announced loudly.

Following her command, the countdown on the screen started to jump rapidly, and the two people in front of the cooking table also started to move.

Xiao Jin and Wu Shuang first went to the hotel to select ingredients.

After selecting, take the prepared ingredients back to the table and start processing quickly.

The amazing thing is that both of them cooked the rice in a pressure cooker as the first step.

Mingyue was still very interested in hot pot dishes. After all, she opened a hot pot restaurant in hell, so she leaned forward slightly and watched very seriously.

As she watched, she realized that the two people on the stage were using their own knives to handle the food.

Wushuang looks fair and clean, but what she holds in her hand is a sword that does not match her temperament.

The Wenwu Sword, as its name suggests, is both civil and martial, and can both cut and chop.

Wushuang was seen facing a large cow bone, and with a sharp knife, he split the bone into two pieces cleanly and efficiently.

Xiao Jin was holding a slicing knife, which is the most common household knife. It is suitable for slicing and shredding, but not for chopping bones.

He was using the knife to cut the abalone into pieces, and then putting the cut abalone meat back into the abalone shell.

The people below were watching their actions and talking about them.

"Wushuang probably took the beef bones to make soup."

"She should be preparing to make spicy hot pot."

"What is Xiao Jin planning to make? Seafood hot pot? Do you want to win with the delicious taste of seafood?"

"If he was preparing a seafood hot pot, why didn't he make the broth like Wushuang did? The hot pot broth is so important, what was he doing?"

"When he was washing the rice just now, he seemed to have soaked something in it."

"Ahhh, I really want to know what he's going to do to fight Spicy Hot Pot!"

"It seems that Wushuang is going to prepare beef for the hot pot, while Xiao Jin is going to prepare seafood and vegetables."

"From a nutritional perspective, seafood and vegetables are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, which aid in recovery. Beef is rich in creatine, which boosts immunity, and the capsaicin in chili peppers in spicy dishes helps boost metabolism."

"It seems that this time it will be a showdown between the sea and the land."

No matter what everyone was talking about below, the two chefs on the stage were concentrating on their preparations.

Wushuang quickly cuts a white radish into pieces and marinates it with vinegar and sugar.

Then pick up a large iron pot, heat the oil, put the chopped onions, coriander, scallions, bay leaves and star anise into the pot, and simmer over low heat.

After all the ingredients are boiled dry, remove them and leave only the oil in the pot.

Add onion, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin and fennel to the oil.

Seeing this scene, everyone below was a little excited.

"Here we go! Shuangshuang is starting to stir-fry the hot pot base!"

Stir-fry until fragrant, add a spoonful of bean paste, appropriate amount of green peppercorns, red peppercorns, dried chili peppers and chopped chili peppers, and stir-fry for a few times.

At this time, the spicy aroma had already emerged during the stir-frying and was floating throughout the entire conference room.

Wushuang put the fried ingredients aside, turned around and picked up a piece of beef hind leg meat that was three parts fat and seven parts lean, first sliced ​​the meat into slices, and then quickly chopped it into minced meat with a knife.

On the other side, Xiao Jin had been preparing various ingredients. After cutting the abalone, soaking the shellfish in water to remove the sand, and removing the shrimp thread, he began to fillet the fish, removing the fish meat from the bones and slicing it into fillets. After slicing the fish, he chopped the fish bones into small pieces.

This made the people below anxious.

"What on earth is Xiao Jin planning to do? Is he really just going to prepare the original flavor of plain hot pot?"

"It's already been 10 minutes, why is he still taking his time? Is that enough time?"

Xiao Jin didn't care what the people below said. He heated up the oil in a pan and fried the fish bones until crispy.

After frying the fish bones, he took the remaining fried dough sticks and fried them into fried dough stick crisps.

Another five minutes passed, and at this time, the electric pressure cooker made a ding sound, which must mean that the rice inside was ready.

Wushuang ignored the rice. She divided the minced beef into two portions, put one portion aside, and continued to chop the other portion until the meat paste became a little sticky.

Xiao Jin walked over, released the pressure cooker, and took out the rice.

"Huh? Why does he have to serve the rice now? Won't it be cold by the time the dishes are served?"

"What exactly is Xiao Jin going to do?"
