Mingyue scratched her face blankly, "Ah? Do we need to arrange the steps for eating it? Shouldn't the diners eat it however they want?"
Li Baiying didn't show it on her face, but she actually thought the child in front of her was a little interesting. She had met many chefs, and the chefs had different personalities. Some had some bad habits. Of course, they would call it "personality" and then require diners to follow their rules.
Mingyue is obviously a free-spirited chef, and her cooking is as unrestricted as her personality, perhaps this is why she can make such amazing dishes.
Judge Qingzhu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "If those guys from the Haute Cuisine team heard this, they would be furious."
"But," Qing Zhu changed the subject, "You've already proven with your cooking skills that you don't need it. Allowing diners to express themselves freely is also part of the joy of cooking."
Chef Li wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a tissue. "The way you crush the fat tofu makes it look like cream mushroom noodles at first glance, but when you eat it, you're pleasantly surprised to find it's actually mapo tofu. I was a little curious. I found some white particles that looked like fish roe while eating the noodles. When I bit into one, it had a strong burnt and soy aroma. Is this fake fish roe made from soy milk?"
"Yes, I use roasted soybeans to make soy milk, and then use sodium alginate and calcium chloride to make it into fake fish roe, and sprinkle it in the noodles. The bursting taste can bring some fun." Mingyue's other secret weapon in the noodles is the fake fish roe made from soy milk. The soy milk made from roasted soybeans can bring another flavor, and the burnt aroma even matches the taste of Mapo Tofu very well.
"This soy milk probably contains more than just roasted soybeans; it also contains other ingredients, so it's very flavorful without overpowering the flavor of the dish itself," Qingfeng commented, flashing Mingyue a satisfied smile. "No wonder Chanyi told me he recently discovered a child with great potential."
"The tofu is tender, the noodles are chewy, and the mushroom sauce is fragrant. You have presented a very good dish." There was a hint of appreciation in Qingzhu's voice.
Li Mingzhu listened to the judges' comments on Mingyue and felt her palms getting sweaty. She unconsciously clenched her hands and scratched her palms with her nails.
Now, the tasting is over and it’s time to announce the results of the cooking discussion.
