MTL - Players In Marvel-Chapter 19 Kohei Ichiro's Ultimate Italian Dinner!
eight pm.
Hell's Kitchen, fortunately set the food house.
There were still a lot of diners sitting in the restaurant, which looked extraordinarily lively.
Soma Yukihira had a white towel draped over his shoulders, and with his left hand he was walking back and forth between the tables with a plate in his left hand.
A Gang was also helping out with chores, but because of the inflexibility of his hands and feet, he always seemed to be in a hurry, and the whole person was very busy.
"A Gang, Dad wants to drink tea, go and pour a cup of tea for Dad."
Dad stuck his head in front of the cashier and raised his fingers.
"And one more thing."
"Dad wants to eat a mung bean sandwich."
A Gang had just handed the hot tea to his father. After hearing the follow-up request, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he scratched his head. How could he make a mung bean sandwich?
"give it to me."
Yukihira Tsunami took the initiative to take this matter over.
After a while, the fragrant mung bean sandwiches were freshly baked. Dad was drinking hot tea and eating his favorite mung bean sandwiches, which made him feel comfortable.
Different from the liveliness here, Ichiro Koheira is busy cooking in the back kitchen at this moment.
Delicious dishes often need to be supplemented by seasoning.
Add some olive oil to the water, do not add too much, otherwise it will be very greasy and sticky.
Then grind the rye corn into flour, pour it into the water and give it a stir, wait until the kernels have successfully turned into a corn syrup, then add some salt and pepper, add a tablespoon of butter and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese, Stir well and the whole shop is filled with the aroma of corn chowder.
The perfect, smooth, unadorned traditional Italian polenta does just that.
"smell good!"
A Gang looked at the polenta in the hands of Uncle Kohei, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth so inadvertently.
Although this Italian polenta looks a bit similar to the corn soup that my mother once made, it smells very fragrant and extremely greedy.
"Here, let's try it first."
Yukihiro Ichiro looked at Agang with a funny look, and took a bowl and pushed it to Agang.
"Thank you uncle!"
A Gang took it excitedly, his eyes lit up.
"fine."
Ichiro Yukihira rubbed A Tsunade's head with an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Chuangzhen has been like him since he was a child. He likes to cook, and he also likes to see the happy smiling faces of the guests after they taste the delicious food.
A Gang's expression just now made him subconsciously recall the appearance of Chuangzhen when he was a child.
He suddenly felt as if he had raised a young son again, but this kid is always fussy.
Yukihiro Ichiro shook his head with a laugh, then lowered his head and was busy with the task at hand.
Place the polenta for five minutes to make it slightly shaped, spread a thin layer of oil evenly on the baking pan, pour it into the baking pan, then put it in the oven and let it stand again so that it can coagulate into lumps.
While the oven was working, Ichiro Kohei turned around and picked a few good-looking tomatoes from the vegetable basket.
Roasted tomatoes enhance the flavor of the tomatoes.
The slightly sour taste of roasted tomatoes can bring out the sweetness of roasted polenta.
The combination of the two will make the taste more sublime.
Add more virgin olive oil to the tomatoes, then pinch the tomatoes with scissors to prevent them from exploding due to heat when placed in the oven.
Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly, then squeeze out the garlic juice. When the tomato surface is roasted and cracked, the garlic juice will be sucked into the tomato.
In order to give the tomatoes an almost perfect sweet and sour taste, you also need to add the magic weapon of winning - a pinch of sugar and a few drops of balsamic vinegar, and a little thyme as a garnish.
Tomatoes only need to be simply roasted for 10 minutes, and now the polenta is ready.
Yukihiro Ichiro carefully knocked the baking pan lightly, and the polenta fell onto the chopping board with a "pop", and even jumped twice with excellent elasticity.
Divide the polenta evenly into several pieces, sprinkle salt and pepper on the surface, cover with a layer of olive oil, and place on a baking sheet.
"Thorn~"
In the heat, Polenta made an enchanting and beautiful sound.
After waiting for 30 seconds, I turned it over from the bottom. The beautiful cross-roasting pattern made the polenta look more fragrant.
After the polenta is roasted, the roasted tomatoes on the other side can also be baked.
Then place the tomatoes on top of each polenta, and sprinkle the remaining roasting sauce evenly over it.
But if you think this is done, you are wrong.
The most important finishing touch appears.
- Goat cheese.
It's a salty and creamy texture with goat cheese on top of each piece of polenta and tomato, followed by a sprinkle of basil.
This [Roasted Polenta with Roasted Tomato] is officially completed.
…
He had already found out that the supplier, Mr. Thompson, was very interested in Italian food recently, so he specially prepared this main dish.
For Italian traditional dishes, the importance of polenta cannot be overstated.
but…
After all, I was asking people to help me with things. It might not be enough to have such a dish, I should prepare a few more dishes.
It's better to make a beef cheek with a wide egg noodles. This can be regarded as a small surprise for Mr. Thomson.
Yukihiro Ichiro thought to himself in his heart.
It happened that he deliberately stewed the beef face at noon today, and now it is estimated that the stew has been thoroughly softened and delicious, and it is just right to cook a slow-cooked beef face with wide egg noodles.
"Creativity!"
Just at this time, Soma Yukihira walked in with the dishes that the guests had eaten cleanly, and Ichiro Yukihira quickly opened his mouth to stop his son.
"Take these three polenta out. A Gang and Dad have been busy all night, so let them also pad their stomachs first."
"I see, Dad."
Soma Kohei nodded, carefully placed the three baked polenta on the tray, and then took it out.
"good to eat!"
A Gang ate the grilled polenta in his hand, so happy that he almost cried.
After entering the mouth, the light crispness with the aroma of corn and the sweet and sour taste of tomato together seem to bring some kind of chemical effect, blooming on the tip of the tongue.
This is a completely different taste from the previous corn chowder-like polenta.
To be picked up by the uncle, he really used up all his luck in his life!
Whether it's the meals made by Uncle or Chuangzhen, they are all invincible and delicious.
In the back kitchen, Ichiro Koheira listened to the voice from the front hall, smiled slightly, and continued to work on the "important event".
In order to pair it with the slow-cooked beef cheek, he opted for Lasagna, an Italian-style wide strip of egg noodles.
Boil boiling water, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a small amount of olive oil, put in the wide egg noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes.
While cooking the noodles, he didn't rest either. Instead, he asked A Gang to help him bring in some parsley from outside, wash and chop it.
After the wide egg noodles are cooked, drain the water inside, then sprinkle salt and pepper on the surface, drip a little olive oil, and then add fresh parsley leaves.
Then scoop a spoonful of the sauce of the slow-cooked beef face into the plate, then put the wide egg noodles on top of the sauce, and finally lay three beautiful beef cheeks on top of the wide egg noodles, and continue Drizzle the sauce on top.
【Slow-cooked beef cheek with wide egg noodles】is officially completed.
…
The next thing to do is an Italian-style espresso panna cotta.
First, soak two pieces of gelatin in water, then add a lot of white sugar, cream, milk and a small cup of espresso into the pot, and then simmer slowly until it is about to boil, then turn off the heat.
Squeeze the water out of the softened gelatin, then put it in the hot cream and stir until it is completely melted, then pour the cream mixture into a cup and fill it to the edge of the cup.
These cups, which were used to temporarily act as molds, were also specially treated by him before - they were washed with cold water.
This makes it easy to separate from the milk jelly later, so as not to destroy the overall shape.
Pick up the cup and gently shake it on the table twice, so that the bubbles in the jelly can be driven out, and there will be no honeycomb holes, so as to achieve a rounded feeling.
Then he started making Cinnamon Crunchy Hazelnut Caramel Chips.
This is the most important point in panna cotta.
If there is no caramel flakes, then this custard is just a simple coffee custard, not a traditional Italian dessert.
Pour white sugar into a pot and cook over medium heat until the sugar is a deep golden color, then put the toasted hazelnuts in the caramel, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon and let it rest solidification.
After the puff pastry has taken shape in the refrigerator, lightly dip the cup in a layer of boiling water to create pressure so that the puff pastry can be easily lifted without destroying the shape and overall effect. was poured out on a plate.
Then cut the solidified hazelnut caramel slices into slices and place them on the custard for decoration.
An elegant and delicious panna cotta is ready.
Like the grilled polenta before, Kohei Ichiro also did his part for the two errand boys and the old man.
These three dishes are his ultimate Italian dinner, starting with roasted polenta with tomato, main course is slow-cooked beef cheek with fettuccine, and dessert is espresso panna cotta with cinnamon hazelnut caramel chips.
This is a traditional Italian dinner.
Yukihiro Ichiro felt that this was the way to express his seriousness towards Mr. Thompson.
He called Soma Kohei in the kitchen to handle the next orders from the guests, and then he took out the meals himself and sat opposite the supplier, Mr. Thompson.
"Oh, it looks great."
Looking at the sumptuous dinner in front of him, Thompson raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Please taste!"
Yukihiro Ichiro smiled and didn't intend to disturb Thompson's happiness while eating, so he just introduced it briefly.
"First, the appetizer, grilled polenta with tomatoes."
Thompson took a bite at the signal of Ichiro Yukihira, and then his expression froze.
The fragrance of corn, the sweetness and sourness of tomatoes, and the light saltiness of cheese, form a complex taste in the mouth, which seems to be fused together, but the layers are distinct, as if giving people a kind of food fighting in their mouths. illusion.
Lively mouthfeel, cheers in the mouth, obviously there are many kinds of ingredients, but it tastes very refreshing, it feels like it will make people dizzy after taking one bite, and people want to take another bite.
Crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, the complex taste blends together. This is simply a taste variation composed by the violin.
"This one, slow-cooked beef cheek with wide egg noodles."
Yukihiro Ichiro introduced the next dish at the right time.
"So tender!"
Thompson opened his eyes wide, a hint of shock deep in his eyes.
He never thought that the stewed beef cheek would be tender enough to be juicy.
He had never seen such craftsmanship before.
He pressed the fork lightly on the beef face, as if to bounce the fork back. The tenderness and elasticity of the meat far surpassed all the meat dishes he had ever seen before.
The moment I cut off a small piece of beef face and put it in my mouth, I felt that my whole body would be wrapped in sweetness, as if it was about to melt, and even the tip of my tongue would tremble for it, which made people unconscious. Want to laugh.
Moreover, this beef face meat can be easily cut open with chopsticks, and it is extremely soft after entering the mouth, and not even one bite can feel the juice of the meat blooming like an explosion.
This is no ordinary cow!
It's an amazing cow!
The mouth is full of deliciousness, and it is very harmonious with the wide egg noodles, especially the taste of the sauce is quite strong, the taste is extremely deep, and even gives people a feeling that you can eat the world.
And he tasted in a trance that it seemed to have a faint sour taste, but this sour taste perfectly neutralized the thickness of the meat and sauce, forming a feeling that would never get tired of eating.
"What's in this?"
Thompson looked curiously at Ichiro Yukihira in front of him, the excited look in his eyes did not hide anything.
He has never eaten such delicious food.
No!
This is no longer a food just to fill the stomach, this is really the sublimation of cooking!
Rather, this is the real cooking!
The food he used to eat didn't even touch the word "cooking".
"Cranberry juice."
Yukihiro Ichiro smiled, his tone indifferent.
"When I cooked the noodles, I added plum juice to the water, so it was a refreshing wide egg noodles."
Sure enough!
Thompson understood.
Soft and tender taste, fragrant beef, rich sauce, and refreshing wide egg noodles...
These elements interact and enhance each other's deliciousness of the ingredients, achieving the ultimate change.
People can't stop eating at all, no, they don't want to stop.
But in the blink of an eye, Thompson ate up a large bowl of wide-band noodles, he said still.
"Anything else? I want another bowl."
"good."
Yukihiro Ichiro nodded, then got up and went to the back kitchen to serve up a new serving of wide egg noodles.
Between the wind and the clouds, the second bowl of noodles was successfully eliminated.
"This is a dessert, espresso panna cotta with cinnamon hazelnut caramel chips."
Cream jelly Q bomb.
With a light touch of the spoon, the milk jelly will tremble, like a milk elf dancing on the plate.
Digging a spoonful of jelly into his mouth, Thompson's pupils suddenly widened.
What's this?
Delicious, sweet and soft, it will even give him an illusion—the whole person is permeated in the ocean of coffee, with a hint of milky fragrance, which makes him linger.
Coffee and milk really go together.
The two of them are like a perfect couple, compromising each other in the collision, you have me, and I have you.
This is the perfect sublimation!
He obviously didn't drink alcohol, but he felt a little drunk for no reason.
"Crack!"
Thompson picked up the cinnamon hazelnut caramel slices next to it. The crispness in the mouth, the sweetness of the hazelnuts, and the delicateness of the cinnamon were well mixed with caramel.
This is clearly a harmony of construction and creativity!
Italy, worthy of being Italy.
The hometown of music is well-deserved!
