After the abalone is boiled in the porridge base, its texture instantly undergoes a miraculous change. The originally firm abalone meat becomes more chewy, and you can feel the elastic texture with every bite.
Fresh shrimps are also rolling around in the porridge. After being cooked, just take a small bite and you can immediately taste an extremely sweet flavor spreading on the tip of your tongue, as if the deliciousness of the entire ocean is concentrated in this tiny shrimp meat.
The fish slices cut as thin as cicada wings show the chef's knife skills!
Just stir the fish slices a few times in the porridge base, and they will be cooked quickly. When you pick them up and put them into your mouth, you will find that they are extremely soft and tender. You don’t even need to chew them too much. Just take a light sip, and the fish slices will disappear in your mouth as if they melt, leaving you with a mouthful of freshness, fragrance and tenderness.
As for those pieces of fat chicken thighs, after being cooked in the porridge base, a thin layer of rice paste actually covered their surface.
This layer of rice paste not only makes the chicken look more attractive, but more importantly, it successfully locks in the gravy inside the chicken thigh.
When it is dipped in the carefully prepared sauce and put into your mouth, the deliciousness is so irresistible that you will even have the urge to swallow your tongue.
The next one is beef.
Xiao Jin chose the beef tenderloin, which he skillfully cut into thin slices and placed an egg yolk on top of each piece of beef.
Before adding the meat slices, you need to mix the egg yolks and beef thoroughly and then put them into the pot.
In this way, the beef will be more tender and smooth after being coated with egg yolk and cooked in porridge.
The students below were discussing, "The order of cooking the congee hotpot is very important: put the seafood first, then the white meat, and finally the red meat. The order of the vegetables is more arbitrary, but many people recommend putting them in the congee base last and serving them with the rice porridge as congee."
"The porridge hotpot has high requirements for the quality of the meat. The meat must be fresh and must be processed to remove any blood, otherwise the blood will easily contaminate the porridge."
"So coating the beef in egg yolk is to prevent the beef's blood from seeping into the porridge?"
"Bingo, you're right, there's a reason for that."
“It’s hard to imagine how delicious the porridge base will be when cooked this way. It must have concentrated the flavors of all the ingredients.”
"Looking at this makes me so hungry. Wow, here it comes! We're going to be given the food made by Wushuang!"
Below the stage, Wushuang's hot pot had been divided into small bowls, which were then served to the audience by the hotel staff.
On stage, Xiao Jin saw that the judges had almost finished eating the meat and reminded them, "You can put the remaining ingredients into the porridge base and drink it directly after boiling it."
The three judges were also very much looking forward to it. The best part of the porridge hotpot was the ending.
After being boiled, the unique flavors of various ingredients are fully integrated into the thick and dense porridge base.
Adding some sweet and fragrant vegetables as embellishment on top of this rich base will undoubtedly make this bowl of meal more attractive.
The emerald green wolfberry leaves floated lightly on the surface like tiny pieces of jade; the white rice porridge with a slight oily sheen was like a layer of delicate cream, warm and mellow; and the golden, crispy and delicious fried dough sticks were scattered among them, like sparkling gold grains, emitting an alluring glow.
Such a wonderful combination makes people salivate just by looking at it.
The judges quickly took action, scooped a spoonful of porridge into the bowl, and couldn't wait to take a bite.
Oh my God!
The three judges suddenly felt like they had become ingredients in the porridge, surrounded by the soft and smooth rice milk and endless deliciousness.
This is fresh!
The delicious flavor explodes on the tip of your tongue and goes straight to the top of your head.
My mind is completely occupied by the word "fresh".
No, not just in the head!
The delicious taste was like a flash of lightning, instantly penetrating the entire body!
It forms a sharp contrast with the spicy taste. The umami flavor of the rice porridge is as soft and warm as the spring sun, just like the warm feeling brought by the mother's gentle hand gently caressing the forehead.
Look at the bowl of porridge again. It is paired with crispy fried dough sticks and fresh and refreshing vegetables. They are perfectly integrated into the rice porridge, which not only adds color and taste layers, but also makes the flavor more intense.
The soft aroma of rice is like an invisible thread, tightly wrapping all the ingredients together.
When such a bowl of porridge slowly flows down the throat into the stomach, the whole stomach suddenly feels unprecedented comfort.
The stomach, which had been a little restless due to the spiciness, now calmed down, as if being soothed by a gentle force.
Even the body seemed to be affected, gradually becoming soft, as light and free as a flower bathed in the spring breeze.
This feeling is different from the strong spicy taste that makes people's blood boil and heart beat faster; nor is it like the mellow and strong sauce aroma that gives people a deep and steady feeling.
Its characteristic can be summed up in one word - soft!
However, this softness is not without strength. On the contrary, it contains its own unique power.
It is like the boxing technique performed by a Tai Chi master, which seems soft and weak, but in fact it is a wonderful method of using a little force to move a great object, and it can easily dissolve the fierce attack of the spicy taste like a storm.
If the dish cooked by Wushuang is like an erupting active volcano, emitting a hot breath and majestic energy, people will feel as if their whole body is immersed in the blazing flames after tasting it, and every cell is ignited, bursting with endless vitality and passion.
