Chapter 218: The Teaching of Dojima Gin
The dinner lasts until after nine o'clock in the evening.
The graduates ended early, and Xia Yu was called to a private kitchen by Gin Dojima.
"Please sit—"
Hearing Xia Yu and Ryoko Lina, Gin Dojima put a document on the table and went to change the chef's clothes.
After a while, Gin Dojima returned and was busy in the kitchen counter.
"recipe?"
After picking up the folder and turning a page, Xia Yu immediately sat upright and stared at the title.
Super recipe "Valencia Pataiya"?
"A little familiar."
After all, he is a big foodie. Xia Yu claimed that he had eaten many delicious foods in China and always felt that "Valencia Pataiya" gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Valencia?" Ryoko Lina glanced at her and said lightly, "Spanish paella."
"right!"
Xia Yu slapped his thigh, "Isn't Valencia the third largest city in Spain and the second harbor!"
Pataiya sounds difficult to talk about, and it is easy to understand to talk about paella directly.
You know, paella is the three famous Western dishes known as pasta and French snails.
Although it is a famous dish, it is inevitably marked as ‘popular’…
Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help but frown and said in his heart: "Will Gin Dojima fool me with a popular recipe?"
Now Dojima Silver is paying off her debts.
A few nights ago, Dojima Yin asked him to launch a halberd to the Fourth Palace and awaken the Fourth Palace. Xia Yu did it as promised. Therefore, on the fifth night of staying and studying, Dojima Yin finally had time to teach the recipe.
The problem is that what Gin Dojima promised was a super recipe, and "Valencia Pataiya" sounded like it didn't have the same quality as "Spicy Hokkien" at all.
The first page of the recipe is full of ingredients.
"Main ingredients: shrimp, scallops, champagne fish, rice."
"Extras: olive oil, flavour sauce, tomato sauce."
"Spicy ingredients: saffron, red pepper powder, garlic, chicken powder, fish meal."
All are very ordinary materials.
"Red red flowers?"
His eyes stopped on the spice materials, and Xia Yu's eyes were filled with surprise. Unexpectedly, this dish actually used this kind of spice.
The rosé is actually Sichuan saffron and saffron. It is a precious medicinal herb and can also be used as spices in cooking.
It tastes spicy and bright in color, and exudes the smell of natural plants and trees. If you don’t mention fantasy-level spices, saffron can be said to be the most expensive spice in the world today.
“Nothing special…”
Turning on the second page, it was the soup recipe.
Um?!
After a few glances, Xia Yu sat upright, "I'm afraid this is the core secret of Dojima Silver's recipe!"
Stir, cook, roast.
These are three cooking methods used in "Valencia Pataiya".
Inheriting the usual tediousness of Western food, it is full of details from the beginning of making broth. Xia Yu read the recipe and roughly remembered the details that need to be paid attention to. He then stood up, walked to the kitchen counter to observe the live cooking of Dojima Yin.
On the kitchen counter, a pot of broth was already there, and a scent of heat came out.
The second part of Dojima Gin is in progress - stewing!
The shrimp, scallops, squid and Ankang fish were fryed and dyed a beautiful golden color with garlic, red pepper powder and Italian peeled tomato sauce. Dojima Silver scooped up a spoonful of broth and poured it into a pan.
Then, he grabbed a handful of black unstewed rice and sprinkled it into the pot.
Black rice!
Xia Yu keenly realized that this may be the second secret of the special recipe "Valencia Pataiya"!
"Black rice?!"
A surprising voice came from behind.
Ryoko Lina said: "This extremely dark rice grain is called 'black rice'. The market price per 100 grams is 80,000 yen. It was discovered by food hunters in the 'Nunavut' area near the Arctic Ocean about ten years ago. It is the only known grain that can survive in cold environments. It has a strong and mellow taste, a sweet starch, and is far more than ordinary rice..."
Fantasy ingredients!
Dark rice!
I couldn't help but take a breath, this special recipe is stable!
Xia Yu threw away his distractions and looked at the pan on the stove. The black rice was stewed in the golden sauce without any fading.
It took about 20 minutes to stew. During this period, Dongshima Yin was not idle, but turned around in a private cabinet and took out the fine red branches. This kind of thing was saffron, but it was obviously not used directly for the cooking of seafood paella. Dongshima Yin grabbed a handful of saffron and sprinkled on a piece of tin foil.
Then, he placed the tin foil on a charcoal stove that had already made charcoal and fired, and baked saffron at high temperature through barbed wire and tin foil.
After 10 minutes.
Doshima Gin mashed the dried baked saffron, rinse it with water, and then pour the water into the pan!
Wave the spatula and spoon to make the saffron water and the dishes fully mixed. The full pot of the dishes transform into a bright red!
Black rice with red auxiliary materials.
One red and one black.
The visual effect is simply perfect.
Xia Yu secretly praised her in her heart and loved this recipe even more. What a great thing!
"Please look at what he adds to the dishes." Ryoko Lina reminded, "There is always a difference between recipes and on-site cooking. A skilled chef usually deviates from the recipe and performs on the spot according to the actual situation."
No need to remind, Xia Yu didn't blink and stared at Dojima Gin.
“Chicken powder, fish meal.”
"Huh...that kind of vegetable looks like a flower, is it artichoke?" Xia Yu thought to himself.
Artichokes were originally plants along the Mediterranean coast. They were valued and used for cooking in the Roman era more than two thousand years ago. They are known as the emperor of vegetables in Europe.
The taste is sweet and fragrant, and the important thing is that artichokes have the aroma of walnut kernels!
Think about the feeling of the fragrance of your lips and teeth when eating walnut kernels. It is not difficult to imagine that adding a few peeled artichokes when cooking can greatly enhance the variety of flavors of the dishes!
Artichokes are both sparse vegetables and spices for seasoning.
Inexplicably, Xia Yu vaguely realized that artichokes and pitch-black rice were very likely to be a pair of CP combinations.
What is a CP combination of cuisine?
This is the same as Kojiro Shinomiya's white wine with sea bass, a golden national-level combination, and this combination often forms the core secret of the cuisine!
Fantasy ingredients are especially important in fusion.
For Xia Yu, who has been exposed to "Frost Descent Tofu" and has tried to improve the recipe with this tofu, he is very concerned about the "fusion" mechanism!
Why are only chefs with strong strength qualified to apply fantasy ingredients to their own dishes?
The reason is nothing more than fantasy ingredients, which are unruly and difficult to do, and stand out from the crowd. The special flavor is too obvious. Therefore, a special recipe is usually researched around the core of fantasy ingredients.
Auxiliary ingredients, side dishes, spices.
Everything is for the "fusion" service of fantasy ingredients!
"bite!"
Oven reminder sound.
Dojima Yin turned on the oven, took out the "Valencia Pataiya" that was baked at 250℃ for 10 minutes, placed it on the kitchen counter, and drank the chopped few fresh lemons on the plate.
Food is finished!
In an instant, the private kitchen faintly echoed with the surging waves of the Arctic Ocean.
Chapter completed!
