Chapter 103: Finals - Part 1
The two separated abruptly, and when they looked back, they saw Ruan Yu staring at the two of them with a pair of dark eyes, curiosity written all over her face. He just heard the movement of a hovering car outside, so he rushed to the window, stood on tiptoes, poked his head out and looked out, and he happened to see the picture of two people hugging each other.
"Nothing, Xiao Yu, are you hungry? Brother, can make you some biscuits?" Ruan Tang's face turned red all of a sudden, and after glaring at He Yunchen, he ran to open the door, coaxing Ruan Yu to give it to him. Bake small cookies.
"Okay, my brother is the best!" After all, Ruan Yu is a child, and he has delicious food, so he quickly forgot the scene just now, and followed his brother into the kitchen like a little tail .
He Yunchen covered his hot ears with his hands, shook his head helplessly, and followed in.
"Brother He, Brother He! I want to fly!" Ruan Yu immediately raised his little arm when he saw He Yunchen. He had always been thinking about this big brother who would play the game of raising heights with him.
He Yunchen stepped forward with a smile, and lifted the little guy up. Ruan Yu immediately put himself in a good position and began to act as a "Superman in the Air". Silver bell-like laughter filled the room.
While handling the ingredients in hand, Ruan Tang gently looked at the big and small children playing outside, with a smile unconsciously on his face.
It's such a good day.
**********
Time flies and it’s time for the finals. This final game is highly anticipated. As soon as the live broadcast started, the audience flocked to it, and the dense barrage filled the entire screen. I can't see anything clearly, and the live broadcast platform can only turn on the barrage shunt function and increase the mask setting to alleviate this situation.
Zha Panpan, Cao Jun, Shi Mingxu, Wu Anmin and Chen Yuanwu also came to the field early, and the audience immediately began to cheer for the players they supported.
[Kingnight: Aww, it's started, it's started! Looking forward to the birth of the champion!]
[Wangchuan on the other side: Sister Panpan, come on! You are the best!]
[Following you for no reason: I like Shi Mingxuye better, he has good looks and good cooking skills, and he will definitely be as popular as me Tang in the future!]
[A Xiao: Will Young Master He come over today?]
"Congratulations, you have stood out from thousands of contestants. I hope you can also perform at your best today to win the final victory." President Gu said loudly, "The content of today's competition is vegetarian dishes and meat. That is to say, all the ingredients today must use vegetarian dishes to taste like meat dishes."
[Wei Yu Zhaozhao: Wow, use vegetarian dishes to make meat dishes taste like? How can this be?]
[Qi Luo, Luo, Luo: My God, this is too difficult...?]
[Fat Ci who eats meat: It really deserves to be the finals! The difficulty is unprecedentedly high!]
The five contestants looked at each other in blank dismay. This question seemed to be a bit out of line. They had never thought of making vegetarian dishes into meat dishes before. Sweet, very different from the richness and plumpness of meat, using vegetarian dishes to make the taste of meat dishes, not to mention the taste, is also very difficult to manipulate in terms of texture and shape. They are all very skeptical, can this really be done?
Seemingly seeing the confusion of the five people, after the three judges discussed with each other in low voices, Ruan Tang stood up.
"I'm here to cook a dish for everyone, and I'll treat it as an introduction."
Ruan Tang said, and came to the stove, and asked the intelligent robot to bring him two radishes and a potato.
"I'll use radishes and potatoes to make stir-fried crab noodles for everyone."
[Yan Ting: Huh? Crab with radishes and potatoes? Can this really be done?]
[Jin Shou is always dissatisfied with his desires: Of course it can be done, Tangtang is the best!]
[Meow loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor: crab noodles! I like!]
Ruan Tang used to make steamed buns with crab noodles when he was broadcasting live before, so everyone knows what crab noodles are, and when they think of the delicious taste, they will have the urge to drool, and they are also very familiar with potatoes and carrots , the taste of potatoes is relatively light, the taste is mainly soft, carrots are more crisp, and the sweetness is more prominent, these two kinds of dishes, no matter how you look at it, have nothing to do with crab powder, they really can't imagine how to use potatoes and radishes to make that kind a taste.
Ruan Tang picked up the potatoes and carrots, washed them with water, and steamed them together on the steamer. Especially potatoes, must be steamed with the skin on, so that the steamed potatoes will not lose their nutrition, and the taste will be softer. After smashing, it will be closer to the grainy texture of crab powder.
He crushed the steamed potatoes and carrots with the back of a knife, mixed them in a ratio of one to one, added a little salt, and stirred well.
"The next step is frying. Heat and seasoning are the key to making this dish." Potatoes contain more starch, while carrots contain a certain amount of sugar. It must not be too large.
Ruan Tang poured cold oil into the pot, then turned his wrist over, and spread a layer of oil on the bottom of the pot, so that when the paste made of potatoes and carrots was put in for frying, it would not stick to the pot.
"If you want to taste better, add a little diced shiitake mushrooms and diced winter bamboo shoots when frying, so that the frying will have the effect of returning sand, and you will have a meaty texture when you eat it, just like adding real crabs Meaty."
To get the texture of the crab, some vinegar must be added in addition to salt and pepper. However, it should be noted that you must wait until the potatoes and carrots are fried to become grainy before adding vinegar.
In a short while, a plate of delicious stir-fried crab powder is out of the pan, and you can smell the fresh and slightly sour taste of crab meat from a long distance. The color and appearance are also decorated to look like the real thing.
"Let's have a taste, everyone." Ruan Tang signaled the five contestants to come forward and taste it.
Without waiting for them to come forward, the audience, who couldn't wait for a long time, had already tasted it first, and then they all let out exclamations.
[Baomu can't hold it: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! This is really the taste of crab meat and crab roe! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it was made with potatoes and carrots!]
[The weak-hearted idiot: Oh my god, it's really delicious! So fresh!]
[Tao Taotao: When I eat water monster crabs, I like to eat the yellow inside. Unfortunately, the crab roe of a water monster crab is only a little bit. I never thought that I could eat such a big pot today! And potatoes and carrots are much cheaper than monster crabs!]
[Ruirui: What the upstairs said is good, but I choose the water monster crab. After all, just who can make this? [big cry]]
[The world's favorite A'qiqi: What the above commenter says makes a lot of sense... [sad]]
After tasting, the contestants couldn't help but marvel at Ruan Tang's superb cooking skills, and his control over the heat and seasoning was almost perfect. At the same time, this also made them more excited. The reason why they participated in this competition was because of their yearning for cooking skills. They all hoped to seize this opportunity to challenge themselves.
"Now, you have three hours to cook a vegetarian dish made of meat." Ruan Tang continued, "We won't make it difficult for you. We have prepared several recommended ingredients for you. You can choose whether to use them or not."
Ruan Tang not only gave them the recommended ingredients, but also gave them plenty of time to think and make the dishes, which can be described as full preferential treatment. After all, today's food culture is not as prosperous as it was in the previous life. These contestants are only exposed to the concept of vegetarian dishes and meat for the first time.
The intelligent robot quickly came up with a wooden box, which contained potatoes, carrots, Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and vegetarian gluten.
"Now you can enter the ingredients room and choose the ingredients yourself." Ge Lao said to them.
After the five contestants entered the ingredients room, they stayed for nearly 30 minutes before they came out. Everyone took no less than five kinds of vegetarian dishes, and while thinking about the ingredients, they began to prepare for cooking.
What Shi Mingxu took were king oyster mushrooms, green peppers, sharp peppers, winter bamboo shoots and black fungus, and he had already started the step of shredding. Obviously, he already had a general cooking direction in his mind, and Ruan Tang could probably see what he wanted to cook, couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
