Chapter 945: Heath, Famous in the Gourmet World
Heath had seen some customers who liked to eat mustard rice and asked for mustard to be added to the rice , so it was not so strange that people liked to eat fried shrimp balls.
The so-called shrimp paste is actually made by removing the shell of the shrimp , adding starch, egg white, etc., and then constantly beating it to make the shrimp paste have a crisp texture. It is quite popular, but the ingredients of regular shrimp paste are actually relatively expensive. After all, prawns are never cheap. The main ingredient of shrimp paste is shrimp meat, which has to be shelled. The added starch and egg white are very small, and only serve to stick the shrimp meat together. Apart from that, it has no other major uses. This leads to the high price of shrimp paste. However, the shrimp paste on the market can actually be cheated, that is, to reduce costs.
Of course Heath disdains all these fancy operations. The only trouble for him is that normal shrimp paste needs to be beaten many times before it becomes crispy. Fortunately, Heath is very strong, and having been a chef for so long, he still has some arm strength, so Heath still tries to complete the process as quickly as possible. However, it still takes five minutes before he can use a knife to cut the potatoes into the shape of Pikachu. At the same time, he has to dig a hole in the bottom and fill it with shrimp paste before he can fry it.
As for seasoning, it was much simpler. Heath had already put the seasoning into the shrimp paste when he was beating it, and now it has absorbed the flavor. After that, he just needed to spread a layer of seasoning on the potatoes. After making the shrimp paste Pikachu, Heath clapped his hands and took it to fry. After frying, he gave it to Kirlia and asked her to serve it to the customer. Kirlia is now very adept at the job of waitress. She is very good at it and much more skilled than Zoroark.
Of course, this also made Zoroark feel a little urgent. She has become much more serious now and is thinking about how to achieve a similar effect through her own methods. Unfortunately, Zoroark is a Pokémon with evil attributes, not psychic attributes, so it is impossible to borrow super powers. This makes Zoroark very distressed.
"This Pikachu is so lifelike." The man was stunned when looking at the fried Pikachu in front of him. Generally speaking, other Pikachus just have a similar appearance, but the Pikachu made by Heath not only has an appearance but also a face. However, Heath deliberately made it a cartoon version, so it would not look uncomfortable. After all, if it was really made too similar, Heath had the ability to do so, but the problem was whether the guests would still eat it if it was made like that. Therefore, Heath rarely made it exactly the same, unless it was fake, such as using tofu to make roast duck and using ginger to make chicken legs.
Yes, ginger itself can be used to impersonate a lot of meats, especially when making foods like braised chicken. It is even easier to impersonate. There was a funny news story before where a store couldn't tell the difference and ended up delivering a large piece of ginger to customers as chicken legs. This shows how similar ginger and chicken legs are, but in fact they can still be distinguished if you look carefully. But if Heath does it, he can make the ginger so lifelike that people can't find any fault with it. You can also see things like chicken skin on the ginger, making it even more difficult for customers to distinguish.
But Heath usually wouldn't do such a thing, because there was no need. He wasn't a psychopath. Why would he deliberately use ginger to prank the guests? This wasn't the shooting site of a prank show.
The man picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and took a bite, then fell into deep thought. He remembered that he had only told Heath what he wanted to eat, but did not tell him his taste. However, Heath was able to make his favorite sweet and sour taste. This was really amazing. No wonder the food critics outside now said that Heath was a magical super chef, because he could know what other people's taste was without asking.
The man is also a food critic, but he specializes in food reviews in the Hoenn region, so even though he knew about this legendary chef who has been very popular recently, he had no intention of going over. It was just that he didn't expect to meet him in Chenghua City, so the man came up.
Recently, Heath has become a legendary figure in the food review industry. It all started when a food critic planned to have a meal in Heath's dining car and then submit an article to the magazine he was working with. After going there, the gourmet discovered a problem that no one had noticed before, which was that Heath could make dishes that suit the guests' taste without even asking them about their taste.
At first everyone thought it was a coincidence, but this gourmet was very stubborn, so he went to ask other guests, and was surprised to find that all the guests who came to eat in Heath's dining car said that the dishes here were very much to their taste. This was not right . You know, it is not a casual saying that it is difficult to satisfy everyone. For the same dish, some people like spicy food, some people like salty food, and some people who originally like salty food want to eat light food today. Therefore, it is very difficult for a chef to make dishes that satisfy everyone, but Heath did it.
He wrote about his discovery in an article and shared it in the food review circle. As a result, many foodies scoffed at it, but there were also some who believed it. Then they went, and as a result, Heath's reputation became more and more outrageous. Some people even suspected that Heath was a person with super powers and that they could be sensed when they passed by. However, a foodie who was a person with super powers himself went there and refuted this view. He did not feel any signs of telepathy.
As one food critic after another speculated, Heath became completely famous. Everyone was curious, but also surprised, because the food Heath cooked tasted so good and suited everyone's taste, it was really hard to find any fault with it.
The man looked at Heath with interest. He had never been there, but it was not too late to eat there this time. This chef was indeed amazing. He seemed to have a kind of magic, the magic to see through what other people liked to eat. But it was a good thing to have such a chef, because any customer who ate his dishes would be satisfied. Even he could not find any fault with the fried Pikachu in front of him.
It can be said that this fried Pikachu is not the most original, but it is definitely the most suitable fried Pikachu for him. Whether it is the frying time, the control of the oil temperature, the taste of the shrimp paste, or the overall taste, it is impeccable.
