Shantuoer was a common fruit in Southeast Asia. It had a high yield and was very popular among fruit farmers. It could also be found in Malaysia. Not only was it available, it was also used in cooking.
As the leader of the traditional Japanese cuisine, Huang Aishan was very familiar with Shantuoer. But that was not the reason why she was so excited.
To be honest, Huang Aishan was very familiar with Rempah sauce. She had smelled it since she was young. But what fascinated her the most was the taste she had tasted when she was young. Unfortunately, she couldn't recall it. She suspected that she had remembered it wrong because she was too young. That was the only reason why she couldn't recall it.
In fact, every chef, or rather, every person had a taste that they could never forget.
Of course, the sauce Huang Aishan made was also a model for others.
She had always thought that adding Shantuoer into the Rempah Sauce was a secret recipe created by her family. Although every family had their own secret recipe as the base sauce, she was the only one who would use it in the sauce. She had even used the unripened Shantuoer. Now, Yuan Zhou was using the ripened Shantuoer.
Huang Aishan almost jumped up and told Yuan Zhou that he had used it wrongly. It wasn't that Huang Aishan didn't trust Yuan Zhou, but the sauce was both special and common. Besides, she had never eaten the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou before. Therefore, it was inevitable that she would feel that she could compete with Yuan Zhou's dish.
Only Opello didn't know what Huang Aishan was thinking. Otherwise, he would have told her that he had the same thought before he went to find Yuan Zhou. And then …
And then? There was no then.
Huang Aishan had been famous for many years and was very mature in handling things. She didn't jump out in this kind of situation. That would be a slap in the face. She just pursed her lips and stared at Yuan Zhou without blinking.
Time elapsed slowly. After the hot blood subsided, Huang Aishan regained her senses. Slowly, she found that Yuan Zhou's actions were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water without any hesitation, which proved that he was very clear about what he was doing. On the contrary, she almost lost her composure because of a fruit.
Actually, Huang Aishan couldn't be blamed for being so excited about the Rempah sauce in her childhood memory. She had been studying it for many years. Although she had found a unique sauce that belonged to her, she hadn't made any progress in getting the taste she wanted.
"I wonder what the sauce made by Head Chef Yuan tastes like?" Huang Aishan was very curious.
Apart from the recipe, the most important aspect of the Rempah sauce was the stir-frying process. It required a high degree of control over the heat, and any carelessness would cause the ingredients to separate from the oil. It wouldn't be as perfect as expected, and it wouldn't be able to enhance the flavor.
Stir-frying the sauce was the highlight. When she saw Yuan Zhou take out the pot, Huang Aishan couldn't help but sit up straight. From the beginning, she had already smelled a very distant fragrance. It was slightly familiar, but not so similar.
Clang!
Placing the wok on the fire, Yuan Zhou only poured the oil into the wok after it was heated to the point that it started to smoke. Once the temperature of the oil reached a certain degree of heat, he placed the ingredients that had just been mashed into a paste into the hot wok.
"Screech!"
The sound of the oil colliding with the ingredients could be heard. The hot oil stimulated the fragrance of the ingredients, and in an instant, an even stronger fragrance engulfed the entire venue, attracting the attention of the chefs who were watching attentively. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Actually, they didn't want to embarrass themselves. After all, there were many people here, and they all cared about their faces. No matter what, they had to put on an act. Unfortunately, their physiological reactions weren't under their control, and that made things awkward. The only good thing was that everyone present had the same reaction. As the saying went, "Big brothers don't talk about second brothers."
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou moved quickly. In just a few moves, the sauce was ready. Without the stimulation of the hot oil, although the fragrance was still lingering, it wasn't as strong as before. As they moved further away, the people at the back could only smell a faint fragrance, and they all heaved a sigh of relief. However, the people at the front suffered because they smelled Qingqing's Chuchu.
Many chefs touched their still bulging bellies. No matter what, they felt very hungry. Their mouths and throats were frantically hinting to their bodies that it was time to eat. Even their stomachs that were still full came to join in the fun.
In order to listen to Yuan Zhou's lecture, the participating chefs all ate a lot of food at the same time in order to maintain their best mental state to listen to the lecture.
Now, it seemed that no matter how full they ate, they would still suffer.
"Laksa is a relatively common type in both Singapore and Malaysia. There are many ways to cook it, and the Japanese way is considered to be relatively common. Now, I will demonstrate the cooking method of the Japanese Laksa in Singapore and Malaysia. Although they are of the same type, there are slight differences between the countries. Everyone can take a look. I will pick a few people to try the taste later," Yuan Zhou said.
This was what he had just thought of. He didn't mind the previous Bologna Tea. After all, he had already made it in the video. It was only used as a warm-up, so there was no need for everyone to try it. However, the Laksa was fine.
If the chefs below knew of Yuan Zhou's thoughts, they would definitely say that they didn't mind it at all. They loved the Bologna Tea!
At this time, as soon as Yuan Zhou's words fell, the atmosphere below immediately became lively. There was actually something to eat, and furthermore, it was food that would be added with such a fragrant sauce. Immediately, he straightened his back even more, hoping that Yuan Zhou would call him up to try it later.
It was only then that Huang Aishan realized that Yuan Zhou's sauce had been divided into two portions in a short time. One of the portions seemed to have some ingredients added to it, causing the taste to become different. She sat closest to the kitchen and sniffed it with all her might, trying to distinguish it. However, she couldn't smell it.
It's obviously all the spices I'm familiar with. Why can't I tell them apart? For the first time, Huang Aishan doubted her own culinary skills.
While Huang Aishan was busy smelling the spices, Opello was also very busy. He was busy making preparations. Previously, in case Huang Aishan needed to ask questions, he had specially instructed someone to make a button in the kitchen. It was the kind of spotlight that could patrol the place. When he pressed the button to start and then stop, he would be able to let the person stand up and answer the question. Therefore, Huang Aishan didn't need to bother to look at the person.
What he needed to do now was to adjust the equipment again before using it. This work didn't need Opello to do it himself, but he was worried and needed to supervise it personally.
Because of their identities, Opello and Huang Aishan sat at the very front. It wasn't the kind of bench with a long table, but three seats were specially added on the side. That's right, three seats.
After making sure that Huang Aishan had achieved her goal and that the Malaysian chefs could attend Yuan Zhou's lecture, Abusher sneaked back to Singapore. He probably knew that this guy didn't show up until Yuan Zhou's lecture today. Opello was also speechless.
Back to the topic, because the seats were quite close to the front, not only was it convenient to smell the aroma, but it was also convenient to do things. Therefore, Opello kept a close eye on Yuan Zhou's movements while ordering people to adjust the equipment. He was very busy.
Yuan Zhou's speed was definitely super fast. In the time it took to adjust the equipment, two portions of Laksa were ready.
