After presenting the dishes, Zhang Chen returned to his seat and introduced his own dishes.
"I used beef brisket and pork ham for this one. It is well known that beef brisket has a loose tissue structure and there are many gaps inside. I cut the pork ham into thin strips along the texture and filled these gaps one by one."
"That's how the dish got its name."
"The specially treated beef brisket is subjected to subsequent multiple cooking processes, and the final dish has the taste of both pork and beef."
"Pork hind leg meat has a low fat content, so it doesn't taste tender enough, but it is fused with the beef brisket, allowing it to fully absorb the fat in the beef brisket, completely changing its taste and texture."
"As a result, the beef brisket has more layers in cooking, and the flavor has risen to a higher level."
“In addition to this dish there is…”
Zhang Chen obviously had a draft in mind, and his expression and tone were perfect when he was introducing it now.
Along with his introduction, close-ups of eleven recommenders tasting the dishes were also shown on the big screen.
This intricate detail is displayed in the eyes of every audience on an ultra-high-definition electronic screen.
The host on the side walked out quickly with a smile on his face, "According to the information from the competition, contestant Zhang Chen won a total of three first-level food recommendation badges in Dongxia City, namely the gray feather badge, the deer antler badge and the fish scale badge.
"
If the soup is not thick enough, the tofu shreds and vegetable shreds will sink to the bottom, which will affect the appearance. If it is too thick, it will affect the taste.
The pork shank meat is hidden in the meaty gaps of the beef brisket. This delicate cooking is amazing.
Each of the three food recommenders has their own characteristics, and I don’t know what kind of evaluation they will give to their own exploits.
Contents of the Easter egg chapter at the end of this chapter:
"Let me talk first." Ms. Zhang Ting is a short-haired woman with sharp facial features. She looked at the people in front of her who had finished tasting, and then looked at the player in front of her who still had some impressions of her.
It was Zhou Qing's turn to comment, sitting on the other side.
Although Zhou Qing did not give any specific evaluation of this dish, the sentence "the progress is greater than imagined" is enough!
Ms. Zhang Ting is known to have a weird temper and is difficult to get along with. Fortunately, the poultry subject that the other party inspected was Zhang Chen's specialty, so she only went through one assessment and successfully obtained the Gray Feather Badge.
Although due to the limitations of the ingredients, this pot of soup does not appear to be that authentic, the final effect is not much different from the chicken broth he is familiar with.
Add the shredded tofu and shredded vegetables that have been drained of water, and use the back of a spoon to press against the surface of the soup in the pot and keep swirling, so that the shredded tofu and shredded vegetables are wrapped in the soup and completely separated.
As soon as this statement came out, the other food recommenders suddenly looked a little strange.
For a moment, countless eyes gathered in front of the kitchen where Qin Lang was.
It's just right to use it as the soup base for Wensi tofu.
Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief and realized that while he was concentrating on the cooking process, Zhang Chen's cooking had already been completed.
"The three food recommenders have already reviewed this dish. At this moment, contestant Qin Lang has not yet come out of the competitive standard kitchen. Let us wait and see what dishes he will bring us!" the host said loudly.
This is a unique part of the knockout round, and the four players in the previous two knockout rounds also experienced it.
I don't know if this is hate or love.
"It's a very interesting dish. It's difficult to cook, but the taste is worthy of the difficulty." Liu Yunju gave his own evaluation.
Dan Bao nodded seriously, his face full of burning fighting spirit.

"Yes, I will keep Mr. Zhou Qing's teachings in mind." Zhang Chen looked sincere.
"Let's go, it's time for us to play."
He scooped it up with a small spoon and tasted it. Qin Lang nodded with satisfaction.
…
"If I remember correctly..." Zhou Qing looked at Zhang Chen calmly, "You passed my test a year ago. At that time, I said that your cooking skills need to be improved, but you are just barely worthy of the fish scale badge.
In the competitive standard kitchen, Qin Lang has completed all the work of shredding tofu, cut rapeseed and carrots into thin strips that are close to shredded tofu, and shredded them in hot water.
As the person who qualifies the contestant for the competition, the food recommender who awards the badge knows the contestant’s cooking skills best and can naturally make a more specific judgment.
When the heat is mature, pour the Wensi tofu into the soup cups that have been blanched in advance.
"Please recommend the food recommenders Ms. Zhang Ting, Mr. Liu Yunju and Mr. Zhou Qing to comment on contestant Zhang Chen's dish today!"
"Now one year has passed." Zhou Qing looked at the food in front of him that had been eaten, "You have made greater progress than I thought."
"alright!"
Mr. Liu Yunju is well-known for his good temper. Although his test involves cooking with wild ingredients that are relatively unpopular, he will patiently give pointers so that those being tested can learn something.
Zhang Chen clenched his hands slightly and looked at the three recommenders who had recognized him and awarded him badges. The process of obtaining the badges from the three recommenders flashed through his mind.
If you want Wensi Tofu to appear at its best, thickening is essential.
After a while, the eleven recommenders finished tasting, and his introduction ended appropriately.
Hearing the exclamations from the audience, Zhang Chen's eyes became more joyful.
"Yes, this is a dish I created based on the existing ingredients in No. 97 Ingredients Library." Zhang Chen nodded with a smile.
He felt that he was very close to victory.
"Gudu!"
Turn off the heat and bring the pot to a boil, remove the ingredients and add the minced pork ham in batches. When the minced meat is cooked and floats on the top of the soup, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove it. What is left is a pot of clear chicken broth.
.
It looked like a whole piece of beef brisket, but after cutting it open, you could see a large number of strange dishes with snowflake-like textures from the cross section, which made countless exclamations appear in the audience.
"Compared with the dish you made when you passed my test before, this dish has a lot of improvement in seasoning, but I think if you replace the pork hind legs with chicken legs, this dish will be even better.
"
Put the chicken broth into the pot, heat it over low heat until it reaches the pre-boiling state, add the watery starch mixed with cornstarch in batches, and stir gently with a spoon while adding.
"Let me tell you a few words." Liu Yunju on the side adjusted his glasses and showed his signature warm smile, "This dish is very creative. I have never heard of such a method. Is it your own invention?"
It is said that Ms. Zhang Ting was chased by chickens and cried when she was a child, and she has been very interested in poultry ingredients ever since.
This snowflake texture is like the snowflake pattern that comes with high-grade beef, but its essence is the thin shreds of pork that are different in color from the beef after cooking.
This degree requires experience to measure.
Among the three food recommenders, Mr. Zhou Qing was the most severe. It took Zhang Chen two attempts with him before he finally passed, and the other person believed that his cooking skills needed to be further improved.
