Ozawa Nanajiro fished it out and placed it on the chopping board.
The audience and judges were all shocked when they saw this.
"Puffer fish! For such an important competition, Ozawa-kun actually wants to use puffer fish to cook! Is he crazy? This is too risky!"
"Pufferfish contain highly toxic substances, so handling them is a task that requires great care and expertise."
"If you want to become a chef, you must show some real skills. And I remember that Master Watanabe's famous dish is puffer fish!"
"In this kind of competition, Xiaoze dares to use puffer fish to cook. It seems that he is very confident in his cooking skills!"
"Look, look! It's started!"
Ozawa picked up the puffer fish, put it on the chopping board, and used the kitchen knife in his hand to make a circle of knife flowers beautifully, which drew cheers from the audience.
Ozawa's eyes suddenly focused, and the kitchen knife in his hand quickly moved across the puffer fish's body. Each cut fell precisely on the fish body, and each cut was just right, cleverly avoiding the puffer fish's internal organs, without any unnecessary movement.
His hands moved as fast as a phantom, dazzling the eyes, as if he was performing a gorgeous cooking show.
After a moment, Ozawa stopped what he was doing and gently picked up a piece of fish meat with the tip of the knife. The piece of fish meat was as thin as a cicada's wing and crystal clear, like a fine work of art.
Ozawa took out a French round plate and placed the fish evenly on it, eventually forming a sunflower shape.
During the entire process that Ozawa was cooking, everyone held their breath, afraid of accidentally disturbing his masterpiece.
The moment Ozawa finished, everyone present stood up and cheers resounded throughout the stadium.
"Oh my god! It only took less than a minute to kill and slice a puffer fish, and each piece of fish meat was as thin as a cicada's wing! Even the top chefs in our beautiful country can't do this kind of knife skills!"
"It's so shocking! It's so shocking! Ozawa, oh no! You should call him Master Ozawa!"
"Did you notice that Master Ozawa didn't seem nervous at all? He was smiling the whole time. Ah~~~ so handsome! No, I want to give up my Korean citizenship and go to the Plaster Country to pursue Master Ozawa."
At this time, Mr. Liu was sitting outside the field with a serious expression on his face. This dish prepared by Ozawa Nanajiro was a perfect replica of Watanabe Ichiro's famous dish. He had been defeated by this dish in the first place.
However, when Long Jian saw this, he snorted coldly, walked straight to the food picking area, looked around, and picked up a box of tofu from the tray.
The tofu was as white as fat, with a smooth and delicate surface. It was obviously a top-quality product made with great care.
Just by picking it up lightly, you can feel its softness and elasticity.
Then he took out some additional ingredients such as mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and ham.
Long Jian brought it to his kitchen stove and placed mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other ingredients on the chopping board. With a shake of Long Jian's wrist, the ingredients on the chopping board continuously turned into thin threads.
This scene immediately caused exclamations from all the chefs. Although the most important step of cutting tofu had not yet begun, it could be seen from Long Jian's knife skills that his knife skills had reached a superb level.
With a series of crisp "da da da!" sounds, all the ingredients on the chopping board were cut into toothpick-like thin strips.
However, the next scene made everyone present drop their jaws.
Long Jian picked up the tofu, but did not put it on the chopping board. Instead, he held it in the palm of his hand, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The next second, Long Jian suddenly opened his eyes, shining with brilliance, like a sharp blade out of his body.
The kitchen knife in his hand was cutting up and down rapidly, with the knife light flying everywhere.
It seems that every cut is made at the same position, but if you look closely you can find that each cut of the Dragon Sword deviates by a slight distance from the previous one.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked. Even some senior international chefs opened their eyes wide with a look of disbelief.
[The dish of Wensi tofu is the pinnacle of Huaiyang cuisine. It is extremely challenging for the chef to cut the tofu into more than 1,000 strands as thin as a hair. In the whole of China, there are very few chefs who can cut as well as Wensi tofu.]
[And this dish doesn’t use hard tofu, but rennet tofu which is extremely difficult to shape! ]
[Oh my God! I have seen a famous Chinese chef cook this dish before. At that time, he cut it on a cutting board, but now this young Chinese man is cutting it with his hands! ! The requirements for knife skills are simply doubled! ]
[Is my vision dazzled? This is too good! I could have cut my hand by accident!]
[No wonder China sent this young man named Long Jian, it turns out he is quite capable!!]
[It seems hard to say who will win or lose this time. Look, Ozawa's face looks a little grim.]
As Long Jian's kitchen knife continued to fall, the tofu in his hand did not change at all. If everyone had not been able to clearly see the kitchen knife fall into his hand, they would really think that Long Jian was joking.
Looking at Long Jian's performance, Old Liu's expression finally relaxed a lot and he revealed a relieved smile.
The next second, Long Jian stopped his actions to everyone's shock, and then put the cut tofu into the warm water that had been prepared in advance.
However, the moment the tofu came into contact with the warm water, a magical thing happened. The whole piece of tofu instantly spread out on the water surface like flowers scattered by a fairy.
There are thousands of strands of silk, as delicate and soft as solidified fat, and as light and flowing as silk. These strands are thinner than hair, and each strand is of uniform thickness, with not a single one broken.
They are intertwined together to form a beautiful pattern, like a Tianshan snow lotus blooming in the water, emitting charming brilliance. The whole scene is like a dream, which makes people marvel.
[Oh my goodness, I am really shocked, this is so beautiful.]
[Yes, I didn’t expect that a simple piece of tofu could be made into such a beautiful dish. ]
[Oh my god! This is beyond the realm of cooking, this is simply a work of art! ! ]
[It's so beautiful! This is the first time I've seen someone cut Wensi tofu so finely! ]
[The skill of this dragon sword is so strong that it is terrifying! It is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle! ]
Long Jian looked at the Wensi tofu in the bowl and nodded with satisfaction. He then stir-fried all the side dishes, added a small amount of water and stewed them. After boiling, he poured the water into the large bowl containing the tofu.
"Vensi Tofu, show off your ugliness!"
Long Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead, spread out his palms with a proud look on his face, and said to Ozawa Nanajiro.
At this time, Ozawa Nanajiro's face was not very good. He originally thought that Long Jian was just a useless person who was pushed up to make up the numbers, but he didn't expect that he was actually a hidden BOSS.
But how could Ozawa lose his composure on such an important occasion? He straightened his chest, put the sauce he had just prepared next to the plate, and said proudly:
"Puffer fish sashimi! Excuse me!"
