"What a golden smile!"

At the expert judges' table, Wu Tao praised loudly.

If Wensi Tofu is just a manifestation of knife skills and is not as difficult as imagined, then Golden Open Smile is a delicacy that can impress people both in terms of creativity and difficulty!

Few chefs can make a simple dish so interesting. This brand-new dish is definitely a masterpiece that can win the MasterChef Competition!

"Can I ask you, what's so good about this dish?" Like all ordinary people, Xiao Sa asked this question to Mr. Wu Tao.

Everyone knows that this dish is good, but it still takes an expert to explain exactly what makes it so good.

Wu Tao laughed, stroked the not very long beard on his chin, and said: "In China, the basic criteria for judging the quality of a dish are based on the three aspects of color, flavor and aroma.

As for this kind of food show, most viewers can only see the appearance of the dish visually, and then know the aroma and taste of the dish from the description of the tasting guest.

As for the Golden Smile dish, first of all, it looks like a smiling face made of gold. The color is pleasing and the expression is cute, making people very appetizing at first sight.

Secondly, this dish also brings unprecedented auditory innovation to everyone, which is something that no previous dishes have been able to achieve.

There are many famous dishes, some of which are famous all over the world for their unique taste, and some of which are famous for their unique colors or shapes. However, this golden smile is famous all over the world for its unique cross talk. I think this is its biggest feature. This is also the place that makes me feel most innovative. "

Xiao Sa nodded: "Just like what Mr. Wu Tao said, the sound the golden smile makes after it comes out of the pot is its biggest feature and its unique symbol. Then let's invite the judges to try it. Then make a rating!”

The appearance of a dish of such a high level attracted everyone's attention almost immediately.

So much so that Luo Quan's other appetizer, Wensi Tofu, was left out in the cold. It was left alone in a lonely place with almost no one touching it, because everyone went to eat the beautiful and fun golden food and laughed.

In Chinese culture, gold and smiles are always first-class good omens and good intentions. Whenever a family holds a banquet for any happy event, there will always be gifts or congratulatory messages that make a fuss about these two things.

As for noodles, this must be the first time.

And it’s a pastry that really makes people laugh. If this was not Master Luo Quan’s original creation but a famous traditional Chinese dish, I would probably see it at every banquet, and it would be a real hit.

In comparison, Wensi Tofu looks a lot plainer. Although the tofu cut into hair strands is amazing enough, it still lacks some gimmicks compared to the golden smile.

However, everyone was confused by the external performance of this pastry, and only thought it was based on innovation. Little did they know that the real core of a delicacy is the supreme enjoyment it brings to the taste buds.

Would Luo Quan cook something that he didn't like and didn't like to eat?

For this bun, she used two techniques just to make the dough.

One is Master Xie’s steel rod hammering, and the other is Bai Luo’s Snake Turning Lian (a special noodle kneading technique from a small Chinese noodle family in the family).

The taste of the dough produced through this method is far superior to that of ordinary pastries. Although the meat filling is just ordinary beef soup dumplings, the various seasonings are also configured in the best proportions, so the taste is absolutely the same.

Therefore, Luo Quan was ready to appreciate the surprised expressions of these guests.

The tasting started, with a close-up of the judges' table. Mr. Wu Tao picked up a piece of gold and smiled. After letting it stand on ice for a while, its outer skin was no longer as hot as when it was freshly taken out of the pot, leaving only a little residual heat. .

But he knew that soup dumplings were not ordinary steamed buns. They were not only hot, but also very easy to burst with juice, so he was very careful when eating them.

However, when he opened his mouth and bit it down, he was still excited by the hot soup and meat filling inside. Fortunately, Mr. Wu Tao lived up to his name and had a very big mouth, so he swallowed it all in one gulp without getting mixed up with other people. The same as the guests, the whole collar is.

"This tastes wonderful!" He couldn't help but sigh after taking just one bite. "The skin of this bun is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is full of toughness, the soup is thick, and the meat filling is as soft as sand. The taste is just right. It is simply the best. !”

At the same time, all the guests who tasted the food also sighed.

Those who can be selected as judges, even if they are public judges, are not ordinary members of the public.

Although it’s not like crying in tears after listening to a song in a certain variety show, you must have some experience in eating. Many of them are food anchors who have eaten all over the country. What kind of delicacies have you not tasted?

However, this time when I smiled after eating the gold, I still couldn't help but want to praise it loudly.

Through the camera, the audience saw the guests on site praising each other one after another, and they couldn't help but swallow their own saliva.

Sure enough, this kind of food program is the most uncomfortable for the audience.

No matter how delicious the food is, they can only look at it, but they can't even taste it.

But just looking at the reactions of these judges, they can also imagine how delicious this bun is.

"I know the secret!" Mr. Wu Tao suddenly slapped the case, shocking the little Sa who was enjoying his meal next to him.

He picked up a bun and walked up to Luo Quan and asked, "Luo Quan, does your master mind if the secret recipe of this bun is leaked?"

"He has always hoped that these lost or his own dishes can be carried forward. The more people know about them, the better." Luo Quan behaved very generously.

In fact, it is very, very difficult to replicate this dish. Just to make Baozi smile, it takes a huge amount of time to master it.

Of course, it would actually be better for everyone if more people learn it. After all, she can't just be a cook all the time and cook this dish for everyone. She can't just follow the recipe and do nothing.

"I think your master Tang Niu is the real god of cooking!" Mr. Wu Tao commented in a loud voice.

Luo Quan suppressed his laughter and nodded solemnly: "I think so too."

"The secret of this steamed bun is the cut you make on the outside of the dough, the amount of soup, and the heat of frying. All three are indispensable." After praising the person, Wu Tao began to decipher: "First of all, the cut cannot completely A thin layer must be left through the skin to separate the meat filling and oil.

Then the frying time must also be grasped. The cracks must be opened and the skin must not be completely exploded.

When it is about to reach the critical point, immediately take it out and serve it on an ice tray. When the heat and cold in the bun are stimulated, the thin layer of the bun will break open and a sound will be made.

The position you cut on the dough is exactly in the middle of the bun. As long as the proportion of soup is strictly controlled, the soup will not overflow when the skin breaks, thus affecting the laughter.

Is the mystery of this bun the same as my analysis? ! "

Wu Tao looked at Luo Quan expectantly. As a top chef, his understanding of cooking is definitely second to none in China. Generally, if someone creates a new dish, he will take a quick look and then smell it. You can roughly guess how to do it.

Although the effect of Golden Smiling is so miraculous, cooking is not magic after all. There are always traces to follow. If you analyze it carefully, you can always get the answer.

"Yes, it's roughly the same as what you said." Luo Quan nodded and agreed with Mr. Wu Tao's analysis.

But analysis is analysis. Whether you can really master the heat is another matter. Whether it tastes good is another matter.

Some dishes cannot be made just by knowing the recipes.

"By the way, you have another main dish, is it ready?" Wu Tao asked suddenly. She saw that there seemed to be no other ingredients on Luo Quan's chopping board, and she was curious about what she would make for the last dish of the day.

Just the last step is left, Luo Quan said, walking to his stove, taking out his only kitchen knife with a sheath from the bag chain, and then motioned to the program staff to bring over the iceberg legs built into a cone.

This knife is called the Beichen Sirius Blade. The blade is made of ice and is a disposable knife. The food cut with it can ensure the maximum freshness and taste, and it can also bring a special cool taste.

Just like Jin Kaixiao’s noodle-making method, this is a craft that other chefs cannot copy.

Luo Quan took the knife out of the scabbard, revealing the blue-white ice blade inside, then picked up a bright red big snapper from his side, and after handling it skillfully, started to cut the sashimi.

Seeing this scene, the audience in front of the screen was slightly disappointed.

I originally thought that this main dish would bring everyone a bigger surprise, but I didn't expect that it was just simple sashimi.

Because Japanese sashimi is so famous, many people don’t know that this dish is a traditional Chinese delicacy and even has a history of thousands of years.

So, when I saw Luo Quan making sashimi on a Chinese food variety show, I immediately thought about it.

Fortunately, the origin of sashimi was immediately explained in the barrage, thus eliminating the misunderstanding.

On the other side, Luoquan moved very quickly. In a short while, four snappers were filleted. The fish fillets were stacked on the iceberg in an orderly manner. Their thinness made them almost invisible on the iceberg.

At the same time, the Beichen Sirius Blade in Luo Quan's hand was also a lot smaller than when he first took it out, but no one noticed this.

When the last dish was ready, Luo Quan added sesame oil to the secret sauce, stirred it and presented it to the eagerly awaited judges.

Xiao Sa asked curiously: "What is the name of this dish?"

"Fire Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain!" Luo Quan said the name of a dish that hit the charts for the second time. "My master chose this name. He wanted the name to be easy to remember and domineering."

"It's indeed quite domineering." Wu Tao said with a smile, then stretched out his chopsticks to take off a piece of translucent fish from the iceberg.

"What a knife skill!" He praised it before even tasting it. After dipping it in the sauce, he stuffed the fish fillet into his mouth.

After a few seconds, Wu Tao showed an expression of extreme enjoyment.

The fish is so smooth and delicious that it almost melts in your mouth. The sauce and its umami flavor hit every taste bud on the tongue, and then an unparalleled cooling sensation sweeps through the entire mouth.

It's like eating a big mouthful of ice cream on a hot summer day. From the nasal cavity to the skull cavity to the scalp, everything is as refreshing as if it were placed in an iceberg.

It is indeed a strong chilled sea bream, and the dish lives up to its name!

At the end, he said with emotion: "If I were not a judge, I would really like to eat a few more slices!"

As a judge, you can usually only taste one bite when tasting a dish.

The main reason is that there are many contestants, and each person has three dishes. If they eat too much and feel full, it will affect the results of the contestants who serve the dishes later.

Therefore, no matter how delicious a contestant’s dish is, the judges can only taste it.

This time Wu Tao did not reveal the secrets of the dishes like before.

The name of Liebing Fresh Sea Bream may sound ridiculous, but it is essentially just sashimi. Apart from the presentation, there is nothing innovative about it.

But the taste is so amazing, the secret is probably in Luo Quan’s knife and sauce.

There is no need to decrypt these things, because no one else can do it if they are decrypted.

Next, the staff of the program team pushed the iceberg one by one for the judges and guests to taste, and each person only took one piece.

These guests' praise for the taste of the fish fillets was no less than the golden smile before.

After the three dishes were finished, the judges started scoring.

However, it will not be announced until all the dishes are finished.

After that, other contestants also completed their works one after another and presented them to the judges one by one.

Among the many chefs at the scene, Luo Quan was not the only one who came out on top. There were several other very powerful chefs. The dishes they cooked were also excellent in color, flavor and flavor. Some of them, even Luo Quan himself thought were quite good.

However, so far, Golden Open Smile is still the pinnacle of creativity and cannot find a rival.

After waiting for half an hour, the tasting session finally ended.

The judges’ scores were also announced at this moment.

"First of all, I will announce the chef with the highest score today." Xiao Sa took the score sheet and paused for a moment, leaving everyone with a little suspense.

"In the first stage of the preliminary round, the one with the highest score is Luo Quan! Five expert judges and twenty public judges, after removing the highest score by ten points and the lowest score by ten points, the final score is ten points after averaging!"

After the exaggerated results were announced, Luo Quan smiled and raised his right hand in greeting.

The last comment on the live broadcast: Well deserved and undisputed.

Luo Quan conquered everyone with her delicious and magical dishes.
