Chapter 109 What dish

As soon as Milan finished speaking, before Lin Qinghan could answer, she heard Zhang Xuan's voice sound.

"It's useless. There are only a few seafood markets in Yinzhou City. What you buy in this restaurant is the freshest. Now you are buying it, and the ones you bring may not be better than the ones you are now. The meat of the local chicken here does not have any advantage in the enamel cooking techniques. Do you have any prescribed dishes for this competition?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"No." Milan shook his head and replied, "but Prince Charlie's favorite dishes are only a few."

The atmosphere in the kitchen was a little silent.

After Li Ke fiddled with the pastry on the chopping board, he didn't know what to do next. If he cooked it as usual, they would lose the ingredients now.

Losing this competition is not just as embarrassing as it is for them. It is about their future, but they are also about their teachers. But now they are really forced to a dead end. Their opponents are not rookies, but also chefs who are proficient in cooking techniques.

Zhang Xuan looked at the dishes on the chopping board and pondered.

"So, tell me first what kind of dish you want to cook."

"Tell you?" Li Ke looked at Zhang Xuan strangely, not understanding what it is to tell this person.

Milan knew that Zhang Xuan had some understanding of Fa Guocai, so now he just wanted to be a living person to see if Zhang Xuan could make any suggestions.

"The first dish, I want to make hot bream."

"Snapper?" Zhang Xuan thought for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and caught a fish from the seafood tank next to him with bare hands.

Zhang Xuan's action scared Milan. She couldn't help but ask, "Zhang Xuan, what are you doing?"

"Of course it's cooking. Could it be that you two can still see you two lose?" Zhang Xuan threw the fish in his hand hard on the chopping board, and at the same time picked up a scale knife to quickly remove the scales. "There is no fresh snapper now, but it can also be replaced by sea bass. Milan, prepare some dill for me, grind star anise in a mortar, add appropriate amount of salt and pepper to mix together. That Li Ke, you beat an egg, add two grams of butter, two grams of lemonade, and season with a small spoon of salt and chili water. Be sure to mix evenly!"

Zhang Xuan spoke quickly and at the same time, he also had a very fast speed. While speaking, he had removed all the bass scales and broke his stomach.

Milan and Li Ke stood aside, and were a little confused because of what Zhang Xuan did.

"Zhang Xuan, you asked us to do these things..." Milan was full of doubt.

"Wait and explain it to you, go and do it." Zhang Xuan had already begun to clean the internal organs of the bass. He was very skillful in his technique. Even the most difficult gills, he could only take a look and clean them.

Milan looked at Zhang Xuan for a few seconds, then turned around and went to find auxiliary materials such as octagonal as Zhang Xuan said.

"Li Ke, do what Zhang Xuan said."

After Zhang Xuan washed the sea bass internal organs, he found some turmeric powder, poured it into a rice pot, and simmered it until some rice was left.

"Milan, remember what I said, what I said, what you do, what you do, the current situation is that you cannot surpass each other in the ingredients, we can only find another way. You evenly apply the ground dill and star anise in the bass, and you can't let go of one place. Then sprinkle some olive oil and pepper on the bass, put it in the oven, and bake for about twenty-three minutes. Note that there is no limit on this time. Take it out when both sides are golden and the tail is red, add fennel and alcohol, and wait for the fish body to burn fire."

"Li Ke, the sauce I just asked you to mix must be heated with water. After the fish is turned off, pour it evenly. The rice is steamed very well, and the sauce must also be poured on. The fish meat will become more fresh and fragrant after being burned by fire, and the smell of fennel will be stronger. In terms of fragrance, it will be far more than that of fish snapper! Then, by turmeric rice, the aroma of the dish can be fully exerted."

Zhang Xuan finished speaking in one breath, ignoring whether Milan and Li Ke understood and asked again.

“What is the second dish?”

"Sea Cuckoo."

"Sea Cuckoo?" Zhang Xuan stood in front of the chopping board and thought for two seconds, then took out a fresh lobster from the water tank. Although it was fresh, it was not as compact and full as the meat brought by Milan's opponents.

"Pick some tarragon and celery stems, shallots, grind black pepper, cognac, scrape off the celery's coarse and tough fibers, cut forty grams into small pieces, and cut the remaining into thin strips of five millimeters thick and six centimeters long. Cut the shallots into fine powder."

Zhang Xuan took action to urinate the lobster, cut it into pieces, and kept giving instructions from his mouth.

"Take 70 grams of butter, put it in a pot and melt it over low heat, steam it away, and leave 60 grams of clean butter, quickly."

"Oh." Milan had just put the bass in the oven, and hurried over to listen to Zhang Xuan's instructions and began to melt the butter.

"Li Ke, take 40 grams of butter, stir-fry the celery strips, and then stew them in water to ensure the crispness of the celery. Milan, has the butter melted?"

Zhang Xuan had cut the lobster, peeled off the shell, and placed fresh shrimp meat in front of him.

Zhang Xuan's movements were very fast, and it was so fast that Milan and Li Ke were a little busy. If Zhang Xuan hadn't reminded him all the time, they would have been busy in a mess.

"Okay, it's melted!" Milan replied.

Hearing Milan's voice, Zhang Xuan didn't even check it. He put the chopped shrimp heads into a butter pan, accompanied by chopped red onion, and started stir-frying. When the shrimp heads turned red, pour brandy and ignite the open flame in the pan.

"This is..." Milan was shocked when she saw Zhang Xuan's cooking. Her master once told her that some cooking masters can use limited ingredients to maximize the deliciousness of the food. Isn't this what Zhang Xuan does now?

Fry the shrimp heads with clean butter that removes moisture, and add chopped onion and brandy to burn the open flame to remove the fishy smell of the shrimp heads to the greatest extent.

Then, Zhang Xuan added thick cream, tarragon, salt and pepper to the pot in Milan's surprise eyes. This method is something Milan dare not do. The more seasonings there are and the more ingredients there are, the more food it will make the taste of the food more elusive, just like more salt will be bitter and more sugar will be greasy. Now that he puts it like this, won't it make the seasoning taste?

Zhang Xuan saw the doubts in Milan's eyes. While stir-frying the spatula in his hand, he opened his mouth to explain to Milan: "With thick cream, you can make a sauce. The sauce concentrates the shrimp head, spices, vegetables, brandy, tarragon, and the complex fresh aroma. It is excellent whether it is dipped in shrimp or celery. Similarly, this stir-frying method can maximize the shrinkage of the shrimp meat and enhance the taste. However, one thing to note is that since the butter is left after the butter, the heat should be closely controlled when stir-frying the shrimp to avoid burning the butter, affecting the beauty and destroying the flavor. Enamel cuisine is very important. But it is very important to look at the appearance."

As soon as Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he exerted his arms and another delicacy came out of the pot.
