Then, Chen Wen nodded and said: "Then, please two of you check the ingredients."

Li You and Yu Hong both nodded.

"Ingredients: Large river shrimp

Quality: inferior."

"Ingredients: Longjing tea

Quality: inferior."

The two main ingredients are of low quality, which is what Li You expected.

After Li You and Yu Hong checked the ingredients, Chen Wen divided each ingredient into two.

Li You and Yu Hong each have one share.

At this time, all preparations have been completed and the game can officially begin.

All the guests watching at the scene became very excited, and their faces were filled with anticipation.

This is the first time for everyone to witness the cooking competition between two top chefs live.

Yu Hong can basically be called a top chef.

After Chen Wen saw that both of them were ready, he officially announced the start of the game.

Li You and Yu Hong officially started the operation.

All the onlookers stared at the actions of the two people with wide eyes.

I saw that the first action of the two people was to take a pot and boil water.

Because this dish requires boiling water to brew Longjing tea.

After putting the kettle on the stove, the two people started the same second action, which was to process the large river shrimp.

It is necessary to peel the river shrimps, remove the shrimp threads, and take out the shrimps.

The two people started to operate, and they moved very quickly.

While Li You was operating, he glanced at Yu Hong. He saw that Yu Hong was concentrating on it, and it was obvious that he did not dare to neglect at all.

Li You knew that Yu Hong wanted to win very much, at least he couldn't lose.

Although if Yu Hong loses, he will definitely accept it calmly. But he will definitely feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

After all, this is Zhejiang cuisine that he is best at.

It's a pity that if Li You goes all out, Yu Hong will definitely lose if the ingredients are of the same quality.

Because Li You has mastered the Longjing shrimp recipe produced by the system and has the most perfect Longjing shrimp cooking technology.

Not to mention Yu Hong, even a top chef who specializes in Zhejiang cuisine will definitely lose if he comes.

Yu Hong is very strong, but Li You has a plug-in system and is completely unscientific. It is impossible for Yu Hong to win.

However, Li You plans to deliberately let things slip this time, and he wants to draw a tie with Yu Hong.

This is easier for Li You to control.

As for why we need to put some water in? Just because Li You thinks that a tie this time is the best result.

Sometimes you don’t have to win.

This has been decided by Li You a long time ago.

Continue processing river shrimp.

Soon after, all the river shrimps were processed. The snow-white shrimps were placed on a plate.

Yu Hong also followed closely and finished processing all the shrimps.

Next, wash the shrimp several times to make the shrimp whiter.

Then drain the water, add salt, MSG, and egg white, and stir with a fastener.

When adding salt here, the amount must be controlled accurately.

Because this dish will not be added with salt during the subsequent stir-frying process, salt is only added once here.

Therefore, the quantity must be controlled accurately.

Of course, it’s not impossible to add salt later.

You can add salt later, but it is best not to add salt.

Continue stirring. When it becomes sticky, add an appropriate amount of starch and stir again.

Then let it sit and wait for the shrimp to marinate for a while.

At this time, the water in the kettle is boiling.

However, neither Li You nor Yu Hong immediately poured water to brew Longjing tea. Instead, they turned off the fire and put the pot aside.

The guests who were watching the scene were a little bit confused about this.

Didn’t you say that you need to use boiling water to brew Longjing tea? Why don’t two people brew it now that the water is boiling?

Chen Wen saw everyone's doubts, so he transformed into an explanation and explained: "We have to pay attention to one detail here. That is, the boiling water temperature for brewing Longjing tea cannot be too high. Generally, a little over 80 degrees is best. Therefore, two

All the chefs are waiting for the temperature of the boiling water to drop appropriately."

The onlookers suddenly realized that this is what happened.

Learned.

Chen Wen continued: "In addition, the tea soaking time should not be too long, and of course it cannot be too short. Usually about two or three minutes is enough. We can pay special attention to the two masters' choice of tea soaking time later.

."

Does soaking time matter?

The guests all nodded and took note of it carefully.

This is the experience of masters. It is precious.

Li You and Yu Hong are indeed waiting for the temperature of the boiling water to drop a bit.

Chen Wen's explanation just now is indeed correct.

When the temperature of the boiling water dropped to about 80 degrees, Li You and Yu Hong brewed Longjing tea one after another.

As for the amount of Longjing tea, it should be selected according to the amount of shrimp. It should not be too much or too little.

This all depends on the chef’s experience.

The guests saw that Li You and Yu Hong had roughly the same choice of the amount of Longjing tea.

After brewing Longjing tea, wait for the tea leaves to soak.

As Chen Wen said before, the soaking time of tea is also particular. It cannot be too long or too short.

Generally, about two to three minutes is optimal.

If the time is too long or too short, it will affect the taste of the final dish.

In addition, it is best not to cover the soaking container.

Li You calculated the time. When it was a little more than two minutes, he filtered out the tea.

Keep the filtered tea leaves and filtered tea for later use.

Soon, Yu Hong also performed the same operation.

Next, wait for the shrimps to marinate for a while.

After a while, Li You lit the fire and started frying.

Grease the pan with oil first, then add an appropriate amount of cooked lard.

Instead of lard, you can use vegetable oil.

But no matter what kind of oil you use, you must pay attention here. When the oil is 40% hot, you need to add the shrimps to the pot.

Don't wait until the oil temperature is too high before adding it to the pot. Otherwise, the shrimps will become old in an instant, seriously affecting the taste of the final dish.

After the shrimps are put into the pot, quickly spread them out. Then wait for a while and take them out of the pot immediately.

You need to work quickly here. From the time the shrimps are put into the pot to the time they are taken out of the pot, the time should be about 15 seconds.

If the time is too long, the shrimp will also become old.

Pour the shrimps out of the pot into a colander to drain the oil and set aside.

Leave a little oil in the pot and add the green onions to bring out the aroma.

After the aroma explodes, take out the green onions.

Next, pour in the shrimp, and quickly pour in the tea leaves and tea water prepared previously, add MSG, and stir-fry quickly.

Just stir-fry a few times and it's ready to serve.

It also requires a little speed when cooking.
