Chapter 1190

"Pufferfish?" Yang Ming said in surprise.

"Yes, it's puffer fish." Dojima Gin nodded, "Although I took out this fish, I hope that if possible, you'd better not use this ingredient."

Yang Ming nodded seriously. "I know, and to be honest, I don't expect to be able to use it either."

The puffer fish mentioned here are completely different species from the puffer fish commonly seen in aquariums. In the culinary world, puffer fish can actually be called puffer fish, which is a highly poisonous fish.

"Since the first recorded death in 1900, more than 6,000 people have died so far. So, if you really want to use it as an ingredient, you must be particularly careful. By the way, in Japan, you want To be qualified to cook puffer fish, you must pass three exams and pass them all before you can get the license.”

Yang Ming listened to Dojima Gin's speech and secretly stuck out his tongue. If possible, he really didn't want to touch such ingredients.

"However, apart from being highly poisonous, puffer fish's meat is very delicious. Because it contains no fat, it is very suitable for soup... By the way, another way to make it is as sashimi. Made from puffer fish meat. Sashimi is a very high-end delicacy.”

Yang Ming quickly wrote it down in his notes.

"On the coast of Japan, there are a total of 38 species of pufferfish, and only 22 species of pufferfish are edible. Different pufferfish have different edible parts. Therefore, it is a very troublesome food ingredient." Dojima Silver said seriously.

Yang Ming nodded, "But Chef Dojima, if it's so dangerous and I don't have a license, why do I need to review this ingredient?"

"Indeed, even at your current level, it is difficult to accurately master the cooking techniques of puffer fish without training for a month or two. However, there is a kind of ingredient called dried fish. Simply put, puffer fish is used to remove poisonous substances. After the internal organs, the remaining fish meat is sun-dried to form an ingredient. Of course, it is impossible to use this ingredient to prepare sashimi. But if it can be made into soup, the quality of the food should be very good. "

The muscles on Yang Ming's face twitched twice, and it turned out that this kind of operation was still possible.

"Of course, if you encounter a more demanding problem, you may still have to handle the puffer fish with your own hands. At this time, you must remember clearly that once the internal organs are broken and the juice inside flows out, the fish meat used may be infected. Toxins. So be extra careful when handling.

"By the way, a pufferfish costs about 150,000 yen. Even if I train you later, I won't be able to provide you with a lot of ingredients. Therefore, you have to be careful with every pufferfish. Do you understand?" Gin Dojima reminded.

"I know. I didn't expect such a small fish to be so expensive." Yang Ming frowned slightly and sighed.

"I can't help it. Who made the meat of this kind of fish really delicious? If I have time, I'll cook it for you once, and you'll know how it tastes." Dojima Gin explained.

"Really? That's great... By the way, Chef Dojima, I want to ask, have you obtained your license?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

"No." Dojima Gin nodded seriously.

"Huh? No?"

Isn't this scientific? The chef of Tangtang Yuanyue Resort does not have a license to handle pufferfish.

"I don't have time to go. Is there any problem?" Dojima Gin adjusted his glasses and looked at Yang Ming dissatisfied.

"Ahem...no..."

Yang Ming swore in his heart that he would wait until Dojima Gin tasted it himself before using his chopsticks.

The first week is about memorizing knowledge points, which is very boring. Some things have already been taught in school, so when Dojima Gin explains it, it will pass quickly. But if it is something that Yang Ming has less contact with, he will talk about it in more detail.

Among these contents, what interests Yang Ming more is the art of Western cooking performance.

This type of cooking is more common in Western food, but it is really rare in Chinese cuisine. The reason is probably because of the problem of oil smoke.

However, there is one form of cooking technique that should be relatively common in China - there are some open-air stalls in snack streets. If diners like it, they can watch the chef cooking in front of him.

These...the two should still be different, right?

Yang Ming rubbed his forehead, and the cooking show instantly became less cute.

Culinary performance art, simply put, is the entire process of food processing and cooking for customers in front of them. Let diners feel how the food transforms from ingredients into exquisite food on the spot.

"If you want to run a star-rated restaurant in the future, or want to increase the restaurant's popularity, you must know how to cook this way." Gin Dojima reminded.

"Yes, I understand." Yang Ming nodded first, then seemed to suddenly understand something, "No, Chef Dojima, do you think there will be questions of this type in the competition?"

"You've even cooked hot pot. Is it too much to ask a question like this?" Dojima Gin asked.

"No problem." Yang Ming shook his head repeatedly.

"You remember, after such a long competition in the Diamond Cooking Competition, most of the questions have been asked, and you will definitely come up with some questions that you have never heard of. If you can't review well, you will probably lose miserably." Dojima Silver said loudly.

"Yes, I understand." Yang Ming also echoed loudly.

A week later, Yang Ming's knowledge manual had already recorded a thick volume. When he started to practice, Yang Ming still spent a lot of time reciting every day.

The practical aspect is relatively simple.

Although Yang Ming already knew some things in advance, because the opponents he had to face were cooking masters from all over the world, Yang Ming reviewed these contents again. Then, Dojima Gin handed Yang Ming a thick recipe book.

"Senior, I may not be able to memorize all of this." Yang Ming said with a frown. He didn't have Doraemon's memory bread, so how could he memorize so many recipes again.

"You are not required to memorize it, but you must be familiar with the recipes above. Maybe you will have a chance to use it... If there are a few days of rest between each two rounds, you can also find inspiration from it." Gin Dojima He pushed up the middle frame of his glasses and said confidently.

Is there such an operation?

Yang Ming suddenly felt that this thick cookbook became extremely cute.

It would be nice if this recipe was thicker.

"However, you'd better not copy the above dish, because if the referee has eaten this dish before, it may have an impact on your score." Dojima Gin gave a final reminder.
