Chapter 296 Meeting of Two Heroes
Is there a bowl of the most delicious Dandan noodles in the world?
What is the standard for Dandan noodles?
Hmm!
The most interesting question is:
Should there be soup?
Or dry noodles?
In fact, there are no answers to these questions. Although the basic ingredients are the same, everyone makes it differently, and the taste is naturally different!
So what is the most authentic?
There is no answer either!
Or, as long as it is what you like the most, it is the most authentic.
Let's talk about spicy first.
Some people can't live without spicy food.
Like people in Shu, when eating Dandan noodles, they will ask for spicy food first.
But some people run away when they see the layer of red oil floating on the surface.
Dandan noodles must be spicy.
But for many southerners, especially the people in Fujian and Guangdong, they can't eat spicy food.
And even if they can eat spicy food, whether they can eat "numbing" is also a problem!
Most Hong Kong people will not accept the strange smell of peppercorns. They force themselves to eat it, and their lips are numb, and even their tongues have no feeling.
However, this numbing sensation is the essence of Dandan noodles.
So most Sichuan restaurants in Hong Kong will make the decision for you in advance.
If you really can't stand the spicy taste, they will often launch a "modified version of Dandan noodles".
…
Judge Chalmers' eyes first stopped at the Dandan noodles that Kuga had just finished.
The first thing I saw was that in the steaming bowl of Dandan noodles, the noodles were thin and long, circling in the bowl like silver ribbons, which looked neat and orderly, and also had a sense of free and casual beauty!
At the same time, it was covered with a thick layer of meat sauce, which was bright red in color.
The minced meat in the meat sauce was delicate and uniform, and perfectly blended with the seasoning, forming a unique visual effect.
Next.
Next to the noodles and meat sauce.
There were also peanuts and chopped green onions sprinkled just right.
The peanuts were golden and crispy, forming a sharp contrast with the noodles and meat sauce, which not only increased the taste level, but also made the whole bowl of Dandan noodles look more tempting.
The green chopped green onion, like the green leaves dotted on the picture, adds a touch of freshness to this bowl of Dandan noodles!
Sichuan cuisine emphasizes flavor, and so does Dandan noodles.
The essence lies in the sauce and seasonings. Stir-fry the minced meat until fragrant, add cooking wine, salt, pepper and other seasonings, mix the appropriate amount of sweet noodle sauce with these, stir-fry to produce an attractive color, and then you can serve.
With a slight movement of the nose, Chalmers could already smell a scent at this time.
Salty and fragrant!
Spicy!
The aroma was wafting.
So at this moment, Chalmers' appetite was completely aroused by this bowl of Dandan noodles.
…
"Three judges."
"Please don't forget to dip some of my special noodle sauce when you eat Dandan noodles."
Kuga came to Chalmers and others and smiled.
"Okay."
Chalmers nodded.
The snow-white noodles, paired with different soups and meat pieces, are indeed unique.
When it comes to Dandan noodles, vinegar is indispensable. Add a small spoonful of bright red chili oil, and it will be even more delicious and tasty, making people want to eat more bowls.
At this moment, when Chalmers reached out from the chopsticks to the noodles and picked them up, the two wooden chopsticks flashed a warm luster under the light, like a pair of slender fingers, ready to dance in the sea of noodles!
Finally, the noodles were driven by the chopsticks.
Like silver ribbons, they drew beautiful arcs in the air.
Then.
Chalmers blew a breath of cold air and ate it in a slurp.
…
Delicious.
Also, it is spicy and spicy.
This bowl of Dandan noodles is bright red in color, with strong aromas of winter vegetables and sesame sauce. Just a light bite with teeth, the spicy and sour taste is extremely prominent.
Not only that, the taste is fresh but not greasy, spicy but not dry, and it is definitely the best among Sichuan noodles.
The minced meat is carefully cooked, making people salivate at the first smell.
In addition to the taste of meat sauce, the seasoning of Dandan noodles is also an important part of its taste.
Chili oil.
Pepper powder.
Soy sauce.
Vinegar.
These seasonings are also cleverly matched together to form a spicy and sour taste.
This taste not only stimulates the taste buds, but also brings a unique pleasure.
It makes people unable to stop!
Moreover, what is even more enjoyable is that Chalmers will feel the interweaving and collision of different flavors on the tip of the tongue when tasting Dandan noodles.
The richness of the meat sauce and the spicy and sour seasoning complement each other.
This experience can fully feel the spicy and warm Sichuan cuisine, and you can continue to discover:
New tastes and surprises!
The seasonings for Dandan noodles are very many:
Salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, sugar, rice sprouts, chopped green onions and a little fresh soup.
Even Kuga Teruki added some peanuts and sesame powder on this basis to enhance the flavor.
This seems to be very troublesome.
But this is exactly the brilliance of Teruki Kuga, the eighth seat.
Kuga, who specializes in Sichuan cuisine, is the best at using the words "spicy" to conquer the taste buds of diners and to attract their appetite, making them unforgettable.
…
There is no doubt that the whole bowl of Dandan noodles highlights two words:
Spicy!
Combining a lot of seasoning ingredients together, making them harmonious and unified, one flavor sets off the other, and one flavor is better than the other.
The noodles are smooth and the noodles are crispy and fragrant.
Salty, slightly sour and spicy, with a strong aroma of bean sprouts, this is the magic of Dandan noodles.
"I see."
Chalmei, who had just taken the first bite, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he understood.
For him, the second-level executive officer of the WGO Food Organization, he only needs to take one or two bites of this bowl of dandan noodles, and he can analyze many of its secrets one by one!
"This bowl of dandan noodles is all about the rich ingredients."
"Soybean oil, vinegar, red oil chili, good soup, chopped green onions, bean sprouts, winter vegetables, pea tips... a total of 12 ingredients and spices."
“The combination of vinegar and chili is a match made in heaven.”
"A few drops of vinegar, a small spoonful of chili, large lotus beans and strong green onion soup, and then mixed with more than a dozen ingredients and seasonings, cooked in one pot, this is the origin of the delicious dandan noodles."
"The combination of white, yellow, grey, green and red..."
"After taking a few bites, the smoothness of the noodles and the crisp sounds of lotus beans and cucumbers form an interesting symphony in your mouth."
Chalmer's words are a bit popular, but they also reflect the difficulty of making this bowl of dandan noodles!
…
Right now.
Chalmei just wasn't paying attention, and the naughty dandan noodles flowed into his throat unknowingly.
Immediately, I felt a strong fragrance coming straight to my nose.
"Um?"
Charme, blinked.
Kuga Teruki is indeed a chef who brings out the best in both spicy and spicy flavors.
So in the end, Chalmei's sense of taste was numbed by the pungent spicy aroma, and he couldn't even feel it on his tongue.
Numb and spicy.
Indeed, they can coexist.
The noodles are smooth, crispy, bean sprouts and spicy oil. Kuga Teruki has put a lot of effort into every detail.
The big waves wash away the sand, and what is left behind is naturally the most delicious.
Take a sip of the hot soup, take a bite of the smooth noodles, and after finishing the noodles, take another sip of the soup.
Obviously, in this cold winter, being able to eat such spicy Sichuan cuisine is undoubtedly the happiest moment, and at this time, Chalmei also felt warm.
There is no definite taste in food, only those that taste good are treasures.
This sentence is a classic sentence of Sichuan cuisine.
Although Jiuga's Dan Dan Noodles are somewhat different from Tianchao's "authentic" Dan Dan Noodles, it makes people feel strange.
However, it cannot be denied that this bowl of dandan noodles can make Chalmei feel delicious.
soon.
Chalmei just finished this bowl of dandan noodles.
Each thin and smooth noodle is wrapped in a spicy and slightly sweet base and crispy minced meat, and then paired with a fragrant and delicious minced green onion soup.
This complex and diverse feeling can be summed up in just one word:
Cool!
As soon as you enter, you feel leisure and tranquility.
…
at last.
Charmei suppressed his smile and turned his attention to Ryo Hayama's tuna sushi.
He first stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of tuna sushi, and smelled it carefully. A strong smell of fish suddenly entered his nose, which was so intoxicating.
Such a delicious taste is indeed reflected in the side.
Ye Shanliang's cooking skills are quite good, and he lives up to his reputation of being the ninth of the top ten.
As everyone knows.
Sushi has always been one of the traditional delicacies of Japanese cuisine.
The main ingredient is rice cubes seasoned with sushi vinegar and maintained at human body temperature, plus fish, seafood, vegetables or eggs as ingredients.
Therefore, sushi can generally retain the original taste of the ingredients.
Delicious.
This is the first taste.
Whether it is traditional or modern sushi, the combination of vinegar rice and fish sashimi undoubtedly gives talented chefs the most creative possibilities.
Ultra-low calories, fire-free raw food, organic ingredients, fresh taste, and beautiful shape.
It can be said that sushi completely meets everyone's imagination.
Simple!
It’s even considered a specialty of sushi!
When eating sushi, the most important thing is to eat it completely, that is, the whole piece of sushi must be eaten in one bite. Only in this way can you truly taste the deliciousness of sushi.
…
At the entrance, the small tuna sushi was not enough to make Chalmers' teeth ache.
However, the aroma of rice and sashimi completely blended together at the moment of entry, filling the space between teeth and cheeks without leaving any gaps. The strong aroma has nowhere to escape, in the mouth Lingering for a long time.
Tuna is the most famous nigiri sushi ingredient.
In a narrow sense, there are eight species of tuna, the smallest weighing only 3 kilograms, and the largest blue flag tuna can grow to 4 meters long and weigh 800 kilograms.
The tuna is the most common and meaty part of the tuna, usually on the back.
Generally speaking.
There is nothing better than using tuna naked as the meat for sushi.
At the same time, it is usually lightly marinated in soy sauce and shaped into sushi.
In this way, the whole piece of sushi has a low fat content, a soft and tender texture, a refreshing aroma and a light sour taste.
Sushi is not just food, it is exquisite art.
The beauty of the yusheng, the harmony of colors and the creative platter combinations make one's appetite whet one's appetite just by looking at them.
…
at this time.
Chalmer just chewed a piece of sushi completely, and after swallowing it, his eyes lit up.
Looking at Chalmei at this time, the expression on his face was a smile, and Ryo Hayama next to him visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Such a result is already foreshadowed:
The tuna sushi he made was completely favored by Chalmer.
Immediately afterwards, Chalmers unceremoniously picked up another tuna sushi and threw it directly into his mouth without any fuss.
Chewed and bit.
There is no doubt that for Chalmert, this kind of "light food" sushi is really a love-hate thing in his eyes.
Although sushi does use low-calorie ingredients instead of big fish and meat, it prevents people from overly pursuing the "color, aroma and taste" of food.
So, another meaning of sushi.
It is simple food that can be eaten without spending too much time.
Rice, vegetables, a small amount of meat, rolled up, cut into pieces, simple, the ingredients inside can be changed at will, local materials are used, one bite, you can have rice, vegetables and meat, it is delicious without having to go to a lot of trouble.
Yes, this is the advantage of sushi.
The meat quality of tuna deteriorates quickly.
If you don't eat it, the meat will become soft quickly and have a light sour taste.
The pieces of meat freshly cut from the tuna are tender and shiny in color, firm and firm in texture, without fishy smell, and have a faint sweetness in the mouth. Whether eaten directly or dipped in mustard, it has a unique flavor that makes people want to keep eating.
The only shortcoming is that there are too few.
After a while, Chalmei had eaten all the tuna sushi in front of him.
…
"Then, let's announce the results."
Chalmers, pondered for a moment.
Finally, he raised his head and looked at Kuga Teruki and Hayama Ryo.
The whole game was quiet.
Whether it was Teruki Kuga, who was dismissed, or Ryo Hayama, who was currently the ninth seat of the Ten Elites, both of them were listening with bated breath, not daring to speak loudly, for fear that they would remember a word wrong next.
"Dandan noodles win."
Chalmert, who had never liked ink stains, only said this.
"Huh~"
"Finally won."
Kuga Teruki obviously breathed a sigh of relief, but if you look closely, you can still find a drop of sweat slowly flowing out of his forehead, dripping down his cheeks, and hitting the floor.
Although he won, it must be said that this duel with Ryo Hayama was not easy to win.
You know, you have to prepare for everything on your own for this exam.
In such a freezing cold place where birds didn't poop, he ran around and traveled to countless places. In the end, he finally prepared these ingredients.
It is not easy to win.
"Oh... I really lost!"
Ye Shanliang was stunned for a moment.
Afterwards, his eyes were full of loneliness, and the failure of this cooking duel made him disheartened.
However, compared to Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning and Eishan Edazuya, he is much better.
