Chapter 121 Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a well-known dish that almost every flower grower has eaten, and everyone who knows how to cook has cooked it.
Tomatoes are native to South America and are an orthodox exotic. They were originally used as ornamental plants and were called the "Fox's Fruit" because their bright colors made people wary. Thanks to the unknown brave man who was the first to eat crabs and took the lead in eating the "Fox Fruit", otherwise the juice and sauce industry would be eclipsed because of the loss of tomatoes.
From a scientific nutrition point of view, when tomatoes are cooked and eaten, the content of lycopene and other antioxidants will increase significantly, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and resist aging.
From a chef's perspective, tomatoes are plump and juicy, cool, sour and slightly sweet, with impeccable taste and colorful colors, making them very suitable for presentation and color matching.
A person with good cooking skills can cook a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that is delicious, delicious and exquisite. For people who are not good at cooking, as long as they don't burn it and don't add condiments blindly, even if they don't add salt, the taste of scrambled eggs with tomatoes will not be bad.
Of course, if you meet a few people who don't like tomatoes or hate eggs, let's talk about it differently.
The organizer of Good Taste chose scrambled eggs with tomatoes as the audition topic, which can be said to be very considerate and showed considerable concern for the 100 public judges. If you choose other slightly difficult dishes, and you happen to have some spare money to sign up to join in the fun and are not very good at cooking, the public judges who win the prize will have to suffer a little.
As soon as 9 o'clock arrives, the game officially begins. Not all 100 contestants showed up, and there were still more than a dozen empty spots. There was plenty of time for the competition, a full hour, which was more than enough time even for carving tomatoes.
There are all kinds of ways to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Some people add sugar, some don't add salt, some add chopped green onion, some add minced ginger and garlic. Everyone has their own way of making it and each has its own taste.
Jiang Feng was used to stir-frying in a healthy stir-fry restaurant some time ago. When cooking, he usually did not add minced onions, ginger, garlic, and rarely used celery and coriander because there were too many students who were intolerant of the above ingredients.
Wash and cut the tomatoes into pieces, beat the eggs, and the secret to scrambled eggs with tomatoes is that the tomatoes should be tender, the eggs should be soft, and the soup should be rich. As for the proportions and seasonings, it all depends on the chef's own preferences and tastes.
For example, Jiang Jiankang sells two tomatoes and one egg to customers, and eats one tomato and two eggs for himself. The tomatoes provided by the organizer were large and beautiful, but not fragrant. To put it bluntly, they had no tomato flavor.
Jiang Feng cut both tomatoes and tasted a small piece of each, which was about half a pound. Like most tomatoes on the market that are easy to store, large and beautiful in appearance, the aroma and taste were far below the pass mark of tomatoes. Pick out the relatively juicy parts and put them on a plate. If the tomatoes are not good enough, let the eggs make up for it.
Heat up the pot, pour cold oil into the pot, wait for a dozen seconds until the oil temperature rises to 30%, Jiang Feng pours the egg liquid into the pot, gently push it with a spatula and fry slowly, until the egg liquid takes shape, quickly scoop it out and put it into a bowl .
Then put the tomatoes into the pot and stir-fry over high heat until the juice is released, then turn to low heat, add salt and sugar, then add the eggs and stir-fry. Because the quality of the tomatoes itself was not good, Jiang Feng could only add more sugar to enhance the flavor. As a meaty dish, the tomatoes were bland, but the eggs had to be fresh and tender to evenly absorb the soup.
To hang the soup evenly, the chef's spoon-turning skills are very important.
During this winter vacation, Jiang Feng practiced cooking during the day and night. Almost everything he cooked required turning spoons. Except for the big turning spoon, which is a special skill in Shandong cuisine, small turning spoons, assisted turning spoons, suspended turning spoons, shaking spoons, rotating spoons and hand spoons were all used. It's a piece of cake to add sauce to a mere egg.
The scrambled eggs with tomatoes came out of the pot. The tomatoes were red in color, the eggs were yellow in color, and the soup was light in color. Jiang Feng also used his chopsticks to fiddle with the egg chunks on the plate to gather them all in the middle, then slowly spread them apart, and arranged the tomatoes in order among the eggs. There is a shape placed on the edge or top, which looks like a budding flower with strange colors when viewed from a distance.
The egg cubes on the plate were fresh and tender, with light red soup hanging evenly on the surface. Jiang Feng mentally rated his plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes nine points, leaving one point to show humility.
Jiang Feng raised his hand to indicate to the staff that he had finished it.
Most people just fry tomatoes and eggs for three to five minutes. Jiang Fengguan took longer to fry them than others, and spent an extra five or six minutes putting them on the plate. By the time he finished, most of the people on the field were It's all done. The dishes are all placed in the insulated box, randomly shuffled, and numbers are posted on the bottom of the plates. When they are brought out to the public for review, they will also be randomly shuffled.
The girl behind Jiang Feng hadn't finished yet. He looked back and saw a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that were obviously burnt on the cooking table. Maybe because she was too nervous, the plate on the table looked burnt due to too little oil and too much fire. Fortunately, this girl only used one tomato and one egg, and she still had the opportunity to fry another plate.
If the ingredients run out, the organizer will not continue to provide them.
As expected, the girl behind Jiang Feng was the last one to finish.
The contestants cannot leave now. They have to wait for the staff to randomly group the dishes, and after the public judges, tastes and votes, the staff will directly announce whether they have advanced.
It didn’t take long, only about five or six minutes. The 100 public judges only took ten bites each, and they were not professional food critics who could just say whether it was delicious or not.
A staff member handed a card to Jiang Feng and said: "Contestant No. 13 Jiang Feng, congratulations on your promotion. Your vote is ten. This is the admission card for the next competition. If you lose it, please call the organizer in time." Party, we will notify you of the specific competition time.”
Jiang Feng took the card and looked it over. He didn't expect that this competition would be so serious and that there would be something as advanced as an admission card.
There is only the word and logo of the Good Taste Cooking Competition on the card, without a number, just like a meal card.
As soon as Jiang Feng put the card into his pocket, he heard the cheers from the girl behind him.
"Ahhhhhhh, I've made the cut!" This girl looked quite quiet, with delicate features and small features. I didn't expect the reaction to be so intense, and she actually jumped up.
Seeing that everyone around her turned to look at her, the girl realized that she had just lost her composure due to being too excited. She hurriedly lowered her head, holding the admission card tightly in her right hand and hurriedly ran away.
Jiang Feng looked at the time and saw that it was not even 10 o'clock. It was just lunch time when he returned to University A. He could still catch up with the meal and leave before the large troops evacuated. He might also be able to grab the shared bicycle he rode.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng is fast. I don’t know who rides shared bicycles everywhere in this wilderness. When Jiang Feng came, there was a large row of shared bicycles. When he left, there were only a few scattered bicycles. When he rode his bicycle to the bus stop, Jiang Feng saw the game again. The girl in the position behind him.
The girl also saw Jiang Feng and smiled politely at him.
The bus came, and they got on the bus together, got off together, transferred to the same bus, and got on the same subway.
On the subway, the two looked at each other in silence.
"Classmate, what a coincidence, you are also from University A!" Jiang Feng said, the answer was already coming out.
"Yeah, I didn't expect such a coincidence!" He looked very happy to meet an alumnus girl, "Hello, senior, I am a freshman in the Department of Foreign Languages, and my name is An Ling."
"My name is Jiang Feng, I am a junior in the physics department." Jiang Feng said.
"Senior Jiang Feng, have you advanced?" An Ling asked.
Jiang Feng nodded.
"Great, if we are in the same qualifying match, we can go there together!" An Ling said happily, "Senior Jiang Feng, I know there is a restaurant in the school food court, which is very delicious. Do you want to go there for lunch together later? ”
"By the way, I heard from others that that restaurant seems to be owned by someone from your physics department. People from the chess club can get a 10% discount on dining there. I applied for the chess club last semester, but my name was removed." An Ling continued.
Jiang Feng:...
"Okay, that restaurant is really delicious." Jiang Feng agreed with a cheeky smile.
