If Dewell’s cooking wasn’t so good, he wouldn’t have been able to taste the curry fish head.
If the food cooked by Yuan Zhou wasn’t so delicious, he could also deny it and say that it wasn’t delicious.
However, there were no such things. After Dewell finished eating and pondered for a moment, he said,””I don’t know much about Singapore cuisines, but I know curry very well. This yellow curry is really well made.”
“Most people think that curry is just cooking potatoes, vegetables, and other food with curry powder, but that’s not the case.”
Dewell said,”curry powder is made with white pepper, pepper, fennel, star anise, cardamom, and other spices. This is only the simplest and most basic one. In fact, the time of adding the spices, dry and wet are also very important.”
To put it simply, why was curry different from White Curry, red curry, and yellow curry?
Yellow curry was because there were more spices than yellow ginger, while green curry was made up of green chili and Lolita.
He continued,”originally, I prefer to eat green curry. However, head chef Yuan’s yellow curry is the best yellow curry I have ever eaten. The timing at which head chef Yuan added the yellow ginger is really too ingenious. It highlights the spiciness and makes the spiciness more varied.”
Li Li and Allen listened carefully. For them, they could only think that the curry fish head was delicious, how good the heat was, and how good the ingredients were.
However, the more subtle thing was that the two of them were still young in terms of cooking.
“The fish head is fresh, tender, and juicy. It’s also tender and charred. If I’m not wrong, it’s been greased twice? No, where did this refreshing and bitter taste come from?” Dewell frowned and pondered for a few seconds.”It’s Mint. Could it be that mint is added to curry?” No, no matter how much mint is added to curry, it’s easy to misdistinguish the primary and secondary. “
“Only once.” “Then I washed the fish head with mint water,” Yuan Zhou explained.
Dewell’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and he quickly said,””It’s great to have twice-washed mint water. This way, the faint mint flavor won’t be mixed up. It can also be used with oil to keep the freshness of the fish head.”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this Small arrangement was original. First, water was added, then oil was added. It was not a big operation, and almost all chefs could do this.
But to be able to add this cooking technique, it was a culinary skill!
Dewell now deeply understood why his little turtle wanted to acknowledge Yuan Zhou as his master. His cooking skills were really good. Even at such a young age, his cooking skills had already surpassed his peak.
It might be a little arbitrary to judge based on a single dish, but as a famous chef, Dewell made such a judgment because he knew it too well.
After that, Dewell pondered for a moment, wondering if head chef Yuan had done any research on green curry.
“Head chef Yuan’s culinary skills are above mine. He is indeed worthy of his name, Yuan Yafeng.” Dewell said as a matter of fact.
“Head chef Dewell, you’re being too serious. There’s no winner or loser in the cooking exchange.” Yuan Zhou said,”moreover, my knowledge of curry actually still needs to be improved. I can learn a lot from communicating with head chef Dewell.”
Those words were so comfortable to hear. Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills were obviously so high, yet he was so low-key and gave him such a good way out. Dewell admired Yuan Zhou even more. He was so capable and yet so humble.
When others gave you face, you couldn’t hold it back, so Dewell said,””I can tell your cooking skills just by making curry fish head. I’m willing to call you the best in Asian cooking.”
“Right? right? father, I wasn’t wrong, right?” Allan was still waving the flag and shouting at the side.
Dewell glanced at Allen.”My dish is ready. Head chef Yuan, please give your comments.”
He looked at the wording. Previously, he had said that he would let head chef Yuan have a taste. Now, after he finished eating Yuan Zhou’s curry fish head, he had turned it into a comment.
The traditional curry chicken was served. It was a home-cooked dish in India. The only difference was that the chicken was usually made with yellow curry, while Dewell chose red curry. The bright red curry wrapped the pieces of chicken.
Along with the hot air was the spiciness of curry, showing Dewell’s cooking level.
Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. The chicken was wrapped in a thick layer of curry. It looked very spicy, but the taste was different after it entered his mouth.
It was spicy but not pungent. It was acceptable. Then, the thick taste slid down the throat, leaving behind a spicy feeling. The aftertaste was very strong.
“This is the first time I’ve eaten such delicious curry chicken.” Yuan Zhou commented.
“Head chef Yuan, you’re too kind,” Dewell said immediately. That was because, in Dewell’s eyes, his culinary skills were not as good as Yuan Zhou ‘s.
In fact, Yuan Zhou wasn’t complimenting him. He had never made curry for himself.
Yuan Zhou continued to taste. Not only was the curry unexpected, but the chicken wrapped in it was also very tender and smooth. Logically speaking, the chicken cooked in such a way should be quite dry. However, Dewell should have been processed in advance to keep the freshness and tenderness of the chicken. This was similar to the way he had processed the fish head in advance.
With the addition of the heavy taste of curry, the combination of the two was perfect.
“You guys should try it too.” Yuan Zhou said after eating a few mouthfuls.
It was mainly because of Li Li’s manner of wanting to try it very much. Yuan Zhou felt that since he had borrowed his kitchen, he should at least give him some benefits.
Li Li was very curious about the craftsmanship of the head chef who won the gold Prize in the bogus world cooking competition.
As for Allen, he didn’t want to eat that much. Although he felt that his father’s cooking was not bad, he was already tired of it. Moreover, he was going to master chef Restaurant later, so he didn’t want to take up too much of his stomach.
However, since his idol had greeted him personally, Allan thought about it and decided to give his father some face.
Therefore, Allan picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. His movement was even faster than Li Li ‘s.
When Yuan Zhou tasted Dewell’s food, Dewell actually felt a little nervous. This was an experience that he hadn’t had for many years. Ever since Dewell became famous, he always had the mentality of “I’ll open your eyes and see what real food is” when he saw others eating his own food.
“This curry chicken should be a combination of the characteristics of India cuisine from the north and south. While maintaining its refreshing taste, a little coconut juice is added as a seasoning. This is also the secret of red curry being spicy but not pungent. If I’m not wrong, head chef Dewell should have processed the chicken with ice water.” Yuan Zhou put down his chopsticks and said,”but won’t it be better to soak two lemons in ice water?”
“Iced water and lemon juice? Let me think, this might make it even more perfect. Actually, we can also not add lemon, but instead use ginger juice, wouldn’t that make the flavor more prominent?” When Dewell heard Yuan Zhou’s words, various ideas began to emerge in his mind.
They were all top-notch chefs, so they didn’t need to state all the rules clearly to understand other meanings.
Next, the two of them started a new round of discussion on the various ratios of curry. Dewell’s cooking skills were considered the peak of Indian cuisine, while Yuan Zhou’s Malay cuisine was also the peak. Therefore, there was no obstacle in the communication of curry. Dewell even felt that Yuan Zhou could be called the king of curry after he became familiar with India cuisine.
As for Li Li and Allan, they became a dumbfounded duo. The discussion between Yuan Zhou and Dewell was still a little out of their League.
