Gourmet food: starting from eating halberds to become a chef

Chapter 49 The Spice Master
Her words did not attract Meng You's attention, but Erina who was on the side frowned slightly, looked at the indifferent Meng You, and finally said lightly: "Look at it with peace of mind, he can be regarded as a spice master I have ever seen .”

Jun Xijian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Erina in disbelief.

Everyone knows Erina's identity, most of the guests of Nihong's high-star restaurants have seen countless culinary experts, and the evaluation level of this aspect exceeds [-]% of Nihong's people.

And now, she actually admitted that Meng You was a spice master!
His eyes turned to Meng You, whose eyes were slightly serious, his eyes were full of shock.

He is only a few years old, and he is already a master of spices.

At this time, Meng You, the spice master, didn't know that Erina had blown him a wave.

He stared at the fennel plant in front of him, and took a light sniff. Even if it was in a fresh state, the fragrance still came towards Mengyou's shop.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he began to pick.

Generally speaking, the cumin that can be seen on the market is the finished cumin that appears after the plant cumin has been picked, cleaned, dried, milled, sieved, and even fried.

After a number of processes, it takes a long time for the fragrance of cumin to be fully evoked.

But Xi Jianrun didn't have finished Anise fennel here, so he could only pick it directly, and then through some simple processing, try to make it as indistinguishable from ordinary cumin and trigger the fragrance.

But fortunately, even if this Anise Fennel is in a fresh state, its fragrance is far superior to that of ordinary cumin, and even if it is simply processed, its quality is definitely several times higher than that of ordinary cumin.

Seeing Meng You's neat picking and processing methods, Xi Jianrun was also slightly surprised, but he was also completely convinced that Meng You was a spice master.

Ordinary cooks only use spices more, and those who are better know the various characteristics of spices and combine them with each other.

She seldom dabbled in the growth, picking, and processing of spices, but Meng You's techniques were very proficient, and she even felt that she was even more skilled than Ye Shanjun, who handles spices every day.

This is definitely a master of spices.

An hour or two ticked by, and Meng You breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the small plastic box full of cumin.

A strong fragrance flew up like a New Year's firework and exploded in the sky. Although there was no brilliant light, it was an extremely strong fragrance that diffused in the room, as if the call of an angel, wanting to let Those who smell it go to spice heaven together.

The corner of Meng You's mouth slightly raised a smile, he finally finished the most troublesome step, and glanced aside.

I saw Jun Xijian, Erina, and Fei Shazi all closed their eyes slightly, as if they were immersed in this perfect fragrance.

Without waking them up, Meng You walked slowly to the cooking table, but he didn't rush to do it, he just finalized the plan in his mind.

It has to be said that the blue-quality spice inequality is indeed powerful. Even with the addition of benzo fennel, an impactful spice, Meng You still has several combinations that can be combined.

He hesitated for a while, and finally erased the others, leaving only the one he felt the most stable.

Turning on the stove, watching the faint flame rise, Meng You set up a pot, boiled a pot of water, waited for the water to boil, and poured the various spices that had been prepared directly down.

Jun Xijian who came back to his senses just happened to see this scene, and exclaimed: "My God."

The eyes looking at Meng You were full of shock and doubt, and there was also a little doubt.

Generally speaking, even a culinary master who is extremely proficient in spices will strictly control the amount of spices when putting them down. There is no one who pours them directly like Meng You.

Her exclamation also awakened Erina and Erina, who looked at Meng You in confusion, but in the end their eyes still stayed on the small box of fennel that had not been poured down.

His eyes were more or less filled with a little longing. Just smelling this spice, it carried an intoxicating smell. This level of fragrance was really terrifying.

But at the same time of longing, Erina unconsciously looked at Meng You with a little nervousness just like Fei Shazi.

Can Meng You really control such a powerful spice?
Meng You didn't pay much attention to the different feelings of the three of them. He looked at the spices that were constantly churning in the boiling water, glanced at the shelf behind, and took out a jar of curry paste.

Curry, with the evolution of the times, has also developed many varieties, such as Thai curry, neon curry, Indian curry...

Among them, it can be regarded as the most authentic source of curry, India. Indian curry is usually prepared with spices such as cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric powder and chili peppers.

Due to the heavy ingredients and the lack of coconut milk to reduce the spiciness, the authentic Indian curry is intense and rich.

But that's what Meng You wanted. His fingers slightly slid across the light yellow curry sauce and touched the tip of his tongue.

A spicy smell rushed straight to his forehead, Meng You frowned, swallowed, it was indeed authentic.

This is also on Ryo Hayama's side. If it is in other places, it is really difficult to find Indian curry, and it is usually a neon curry with a more neon taste.

Thinking about the dosage, Meng You was a little more steady than pouring the spices. The iron spoon brushed the curry sauce, and there was a small gap.

With the addition of curry sauce, the water surface that was about to turn reddish turned a little yellow. After taking a sip, Meng You took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the time.

The spices need to be cooked for a long time. After thinking about it in my heart, I scanned the kitchen and walked towards a place.

He also needs to start the more important step of removing spices.

The eyes of the three also followed Meng You's walking, watching Meng You pull out a bag of flour from a dry corner.

Xi Jianrun had great doubts in his eyes: "Meng Youjun, what are you doing here? I think what he cooks is curry fish head. Why do you need flour?"

Fei Shazi on the side shook his head, Erina was also a little puzzled.

But they didn't understand, and they didn't bother Meng You, they just watched Meng You's step by step quietly.

Unknowingly, this small kitchen has been completely controlled by Meng You.

And Meng You looked at the flour in front of him, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

There are two biggest innovations in the fish head curry puff pastry soup made by Ryo Hayama. One is the addition of high-grade spices such as holy basil, which enhances the deliciousness of the soup.

The second is to borrow from the dish of puff pastry soup and use the lid of naan bread to seal it.

The so-called puff pastry soup is actually to add a sealed edible puff pastry lid on top of the soup.

The moment the lid is punctured, the long-suffering aroma of the soup will explode like a bomb. This is Ye Shanliang's favorite way of making a head start with the aroma.

Then when tasting, the rich soup and naan bread are tasted together, and the burst of deliciousness is irresistible. Therefore, a naan bread with a high degree of deliciousness is also extremely important in this dish.
