Chapter 1826: Chili crab and spicy crabTranslator: 549690339

The names of the spicy crab and spicy crab looked similar, but in fact, there was a big difference between the two. The former was a Singapore dish, while the latter was a Sichuan cuisine. The latter’s seasoning was far less cumbersome than the former, and the appearance and cooking methods were different.
Opello made such a judgment because most chefs would choose Sri Lanka’s big crab for chili crab, followed by United States blue crab. Every dish had the most suitable ingredients. There were many kinds of crabs, but Singapore’s Chili crab would choose these two.
When they saw from the corner of their eyes that Yuan Zhou had chosen the swimming crab, they would subconsciously think that it was the spicy crab. As mentioned before, opello had a good understanding of Chinese cuisines and the best ingredient for the spicy prawns in Sichuan Province was the swimming crab.
Yuan Zhou had entered the “open” chef mode from the moment he started selecting the ingredients. He was very focused and would not look around at all.
“Ka ka ka”. The crab struggled and wanted to run away after being placed on the chopping board. It was probably unwilling to go into the pot. Yuan Zhou had sharp eyes and quick hands. He gently slid his right hand along its back for a few times. The originally violent crab immediately quieted down and gradually lay on the chopping board without moving.
Yuan Zhou chose the swimming crab. This was the time when the crab meat was the freshest and the fat was the most delicious. Therefore, he needed to control the fat before preparing. He turned the crab over one by one deftly and inserted a bamboo chopstick into the position of the belly button. Then, he prepared the other ingredients required for the chili crab, such as tomatoes, scallions, ginger, red chili, and other seasonings.
Originally, he needed to use the tomato sauce. However, after smelling the tomato sauce prepared on the spot, he was not very satisfied with the taste. Therefore, he directly took the tomato and intended to make the tomato sauce on the spot.
Ketchup was too common. Even if it was self-made, there were also various ways to make it. Yuan Zhou thought for three seconds and chose the one he thought was the most suitable. He didn’t add lemon and white sugar, but only a little rum and olive oil. He also added it after the juicer was used up.
The arrangement was quite perfect. The juicer, oven, and other things on the kitchen table were all very complete.
On the other side, opello didn’t let down the reputation of the number one chef in Singapore. He had his own way of dealing with the vigorous and vigorous crabs. Although he wasn’t as relaxed as Yuan Zhou, he still appeased the crabs in a few moves and also began to prepare other seasonings. Strategically, he had already determined himself to be the number one in Asia, but he still had to be very attentive to his culinary skills.
Not to mention Chu Xiao, who had been preparing for today’s exchange for a long time. Chu Xiao intended to make a new improved dish for Yuan Zhou to try. He knew that there was still a long way to go. However, he was still young. Chu Xiao expressed that the stronger the enemy of his life, the more he would have the desire to catch up and never give up.
The other chefs had basically chosen their ingredients as well. Without prior agreement, they all chose the craftsmanship that they were best at first. The main reason was that Yuan Zhou’s breakfast in the morning was too amazing. They felt that if they didn’t bring out their unique skills, they would definitely not be able to be put on the stage. They were all famous chefs for a long time. Who would be shameless?
“BOOM!”
The stove was turned on, and the flames immediately rose.”Zi Zi Zi” was the sound of the oil being tortured by the fire in the pot. This exchange meeting was the same as the last meeting of nine people. There were no kitchen helpers, so all kinds of sounds could be heard.
After 40 minutes, Yuan Zhou finished the dish. He was the fastest, as Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills had always been fast, accurate and ruthless.
He carried a covered plate to the big round table. Just as he was about to put down the plate, a few specially carved words appeared in his eyes.
“This plate needs to be custom-made, right? Chu Xiao really dares to say that. But in a sense, he’s right. ” Yuan Zhou muttered in the heart.
The initiator was Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao. There was nothing wrong with this name. This was Yuan Zhou’s idea. He had missed the real purpose of Chu Xiao perfectly.
Not long after Yuan Zhou finished, the other 10 people also almost finished their work one after another.
“I don’t know what you’re making, but it doesn’t feel like spicy crab. At least the spicy crab doesn’t need fish sauce or tomato sauce. What is it? there are so many ingredients. Is it a Singapore dish?” President Cheng’s mind was still very rich. He put on a serious face, but his heart was already restless. As the king of Sichuan cuisine, he was naturally very familiar with Sichuan cuisine.
President Cheng couldn’t participate in the exchange this time.
“Gudong, gudong.”
It was the sound of Zhang Yue swallowing her saliva. Although she had already made her stomach round due to her foresight, her nose didn’t give her any face. The strong fragrance was constantly challenging the limits of one’s tolerance, especially Yuan Zhou’s side.
“Since everyone is done, let’s open the lid and start the tasting exchange.” Chu Xiao looked around and then said.
As the initiator of the exchange meeting, there was nothing wrong with announcing the start.
“Shua shua shua”
When the chefs heard Yuan Zhou’s words, they all lifted the lids of their plates and then were stunned.
Among all the exquisite and beautiful dishes, there were two eye-catching ones. One was in front of Yuan Zhou and the other was in front of opello. Both were red crabs placed on huge plates. If not for the fact that they were still emitting steam, they would have been eaten by Yuan Zhou.
“So he’s also cooking chili crab. It seems like we can see who’s better now.” Opello glanced at it and felt that he would be able to confirm it immediately, but he was also puzzled. Why did they use swimming crabs?
Yuan Zhou didn’t find it strange that opello made the same dish as him. After all, he had already known that when he saw opello choose the big crab of Sri Lanka.
“In that case, let’s start with head chef Yuan.” While saying that, Chu Xiao took the chopsticks and walked to Yuan Zhou’s side. He couldn’t wait to eat.
“I should try it.” Opello was the second to respond.
When he got closer, he realized that although the two crabs looked the same, they were actually different. This was not a difference in appearance, but a difference in the plate presentation.
Ever since he had obtained the second volume of carving technique, Yuan Zhou had been practicing for a long time. As a result, he had improved his plate presentation by leaps and bounds. 1000 was already very beautiful, and now, it was even more natural.
Take this plate of chili crab as an example. Opello and Yuan Zhou both chose to present the whole crab as a dish without prior agreement. It looked similar on the surface, but if one looked carefully, they would find that there were many differences.
Both of them were presented in the form of an entire crab. Yuan Zhou’s crab was lying there quietly with its legs crossed. In contrast to the waterweeds and other things carved by Yuan Zhou with cucumbers and other things, it looked like a crab that was resting leisurely in the waterweeds.
Opello’s crabs were surrounded by golden brown breadcrumbs, and their legs were propped up as if they were crawling, but their posture was a little stiff. Of course, one would not notice it if they did not look carefully.
Especially when his Junior Brother Qin Chuan carried his senior brother’s crab to Yuan Zhou’s side, the contrast was very obvious. They were all culinary experts and naturally had different judgment.
Opello’s crab decorations were also superb, but there was still a trace of craftsmanship. Occasionally, he could see a trace of cracks on the crabs, which were the marks of assembly.
It wasn’t that opello’s cooking skills were bad. On the contrary, his cooking skills were quite excellent. It was just that Yuan Zhou was too good.
