Food Wars: The Strongest Cook
Chapter 40
What Ye Nan wants to make is a famous dish of the Celestial Empire.
Celestial cuisine is extensive and profound, and there are countless delicacies in the eight major cuisines, not only chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also many vegetables and vegetarian dishes. What
Ye Nan wants to make is vegetables and vegetarian dishes.
Fish-flavored eggplant.
This dish is well-known in the Celestial Empire and is a special dish. It belongs to Sichuan cuisine among the eight major cuisines, and the main ingredient is eggplant.
Ye Nan saw that there were a few eggplants in the kitchen, so he had this idea.
The"fish fragrance" in fish-flavored eggplant is homophonic with"aftertaste", and the correct spelling should be aftertaste eggplant. The most important auxiliary ingredient of the aftertaste series of Sichuan cuisine is Sichuan spicy bean paste. The dishes cooked with the main ingredients, Sichuan spicy bean paste and other seasonings have a thick and long taste, lingering aftertaste, and endless aftertaste, so it is called aftertaste.
Ye Nan's expression became extremely serious, as if he had become a different person in an instant.
His temperament changed instantly, and the serious look of cooking made the old lady Wen Xu feel a little moved:"Hey, this kid……"
Before he could say anything, he saw Ye Nan skillfully wash and remove the stems of the eggplants, peel off a part of the skin from top to bottom, cut into 5 cm segments, cut each segment into two halves, and cut each half into 3 slices.
In just a moment, these eggplants became eggplant strips of the same length and thickness!
After that, Ye Nan cut thin slits on the surface of the eggplant in one direction and then changed direction and cut it one by one so that the surface of the eggplant became fish scale-like.
Cutting the eggplant into fish scales will make the eggplant more flavorful when thickening the sauce at the end. As Ye Nan said, the devil is in the details, so he pays special attention to the details of cooking.
"This knife……"Wen Xu's pupils shrank, and something in his mind moved.
Then, Ye Nan heated oil in a pan, and when the oil temperature reached 60% hot, he put in the eggplant and fried it until it became soft, then picked it up for later use. Eggplant absorbs oil very well, so when frying, only a little oil or even no oil is needed in the pan. Then add the bean paste and stir-fry. Then put 10 grams of sauce, 10 grams of star anise, bay leaves, and 10 grams of sugar into the pan, and then bring it to a boil, thicken it and pour it on the eggplant.
Hiss, hiss.
Only a burst of white smoke was heard coming out of the eggplant, and the fragrance emanated from it. This dish uses common vegetables to process and fully utilizes the advantage of eggplant in absorbing the flavor of seasonings. It is characterized by its incomparable freshness and fragrance, and is absolutely first-class in taste.
Don't underestimate this small dish of fish-flavored eggplant, it is one of the signature dishes of Sichuan cuisine, and when made by a first-class chef like Ye Nan, it is full of unique flavor.
The rich fragrance emanates
"Why is this aroma so strong? Is this really just an ordinary eggplant dish? I have never seen it before. What kind of seasoning does he use to make it so special?……"Old lady Wenxu murmured to herself, her eyes full of disbelief.
Ye Nan laughed secretly. His seasonings were indeed very special. Most of them were carefully prepared by Ye Nan. They were all secret recipes. Moreover, Chinese seasonings were almost non-existent in Japan. Star anise and bay leaves could enhance the aroma of food.
I am afraid that people who have never eaten this fish-flavored eggplant would drool at the sight of it.
The eggplant was cooked extremely delicately, cut into fish-scale strips, burned into purple, and poured with a layer of secret thickening sauce, exuding a rich flavor.
This is fish-flavored eggplant.
"This is a famous Chinese dish called fish-flavored eggplant. Please enjoy it."
Ye Nan said with a smile
"Fish-flavored eggplant?" Wen Xu muttered the name:"Is it actually Chinese cuisine?"
"Well, this is a famous dish in my hometown."
"It is really amazing that vegetables alone can produce such a rich aroma. Just smelling it makes me hungry, and I can't help but drool."Wen Xu was very excited and couldn't wait to pick up the fish-flavored eggplant and take a bite.
In an instant, an amazing aroma burst out in the mouth.
It tastes delicious, soft, moist and fragrant, fresh and salty!
In the mouth, the taste is revealed in an instant, and along with the taste of chewing, the taste of eggplant spreads even more, especially the sauce melts in the mouth, the taste is simply enjoyable.
The eggplant is fully flavored, and the taste in this instant is simply fascinating, the aftertaste is lingering, and the aftertaste is endless
"Unbelievable, is this really eggplant? I have never eaten such food in Japan.……"
"The rich taste of eggplant sauce, the taste after it melts, and the aroma of bean curd and the taste of spices linger in the mouth for a long time"
"Fish-flavored eggplant, this dish is really surprising. I never thought that such ordinary vegetables could be transformed into something magical in your hands. This fish-flavored eggplant reminds me of a vegetable dish by a guy named 'Shinomiya Kojiro'. You and he both have a high level of vegetable processing skills."Old lady Wenxu was full of praise.
Ye Nan was startled. The Shinomiya Kojiro that Wenxu mentioned was the former chief of Totsuki Academy, that is, the Shinomiya chef in the original book.
Wenxu compared Ye Nan with Shinomiya Kojiro, which shows how highly he thinks of Ye Nan.
"This dish can really make people feel young and energetic. The rich taste can instantly awaken the taste buds, as if waking up from hibernation to welcome the arrival of spring."
Wen Xu's mood was completely different. He looked much younger. He praised it endlessly.
Wen Xu was completely immersed in the deliciousness of the dish just now, and his whole body was glowing.
""Great! This is even better than the dish made by that kid just now. You passed!" Wen Xu said loudly.
Then, Wen Xu shouted into the loudspeaker:"Ye Nan has passed the trial of the Polaris Dormitory. From today on, he will officially become a member of the Polaris Dormitory. His dormitory number is 310!"
