Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Friendly Judge (4) (1/2)
Jo Minjoon looked towards the applicants The wrinkles on their foreheads showed just how quickly their ht now
He looked towards the hall The deroup, as well as the selected prep cooks and apprentice were all sitting there When Ella, who had been sitting in front of the table made eye contact with Jo Minjoon, she smiled like a baby and waved her hand with an excited look on her face Jo Minjoon lightly smiled and looked next to her
‘Javier Current top candidate’
Unless any of the re 13 had better skills than he did, he was pretty certain to be selected
The dish that he shoas not a main but an appetizer Honestly, that was the smartest dish to make In the short amount of time they had, an appetizer made more sense than a main to show off your skills
Javier’s appetizer was unique He lightly poached a gould’s razor shell and wrapped it with a squid’s body chopped into the right size, put carp roe on top of it, and then ground up dried sage and thy yolk and placed it in the fridge to let it cool That was the end of his dish
On first glance, it seems pretty simple In reality, the dish only scored 7 points However, it was not lacking in taste corance of the herbs and the unique fragrance of seafood working in har that it would be considered one of the best dishes Jo Minjoon has ever tried
‘We could put this on the ht away’
That was Rachel’s opinion Jo Minjoon felt the same way He was also stimulated at the same time A 7 point dish If he was asked to make it, he definitely could However, if he was asked to make a 7 point dish that could receive a similar type of opinion, he had no confidence at all
It was the side effect of only focusing on the point of a dish until now An empty shell that relied on splendor and craftsmanshi+p The traits that the villains tended to show often in cooking movies or dramas, that type of trait hat Jo Minjoon himself had
‘I need to fix it’
He wasn’t anxious He was still young, and since he was able to figure it out early, he’ll be able to quickly fix it He was also feeling a bit refreshed He was able to determine the cause of this unknown frustration he has had for a while
Jo Minjoon’s eyes became serious The situation wasUnlike with the prep cooks, Jo Minjoon could not instruct the demi chef’s recipes First of all, the nature dish In other words, it was a free for all, and at the end, they would be the sa to tell the sos
Because of that, once they started cooking, Jo Minjoon could not reers The way they selected their ingredients and prepared it The way they handled their pen and knives, and their knowledge that showed through their recipes
Once he acknowledged thes he felt from the same movements were different as well Even fro, Jo Minjoon was able to think about the things he would need to watch out for
‘They do say that cooking is so over the shoulder ……’
That phrase seemed realistic Jo Minjoon was extremely interested in Janet It wasn’t because her level was the highest It was because she wasselections
‘Le a grilled salmon on top of that ……’
Risotto was a sensitive dish You needed to focus for a long time, and in order to make a perfect risotto, you have to accuratelyOnce the broth is reduced down, you couldn’t add anything to it because the rice ht expand
That hy it was difficult to add a lot of ingredients to risottos You needed to find the balance of all of the ingredients whilesure the flavors didn’t clash with each other Jo Minjoon continued to watch Janet’s dish with curiosity
It didn’t take long for that curiosity to turn into adreen risotto was laid into the plate, and when the grilled sal the arroser method was placed on top of it …… the dish turned into a 9 point dish
‘……I’ve never seen anyone make a 9 point dish so easily’
Anderson and Kaya both had cooking level of 8 However, even if they were standing in the same place, they would not be able to easily make a perfect dish just like she did
Experienced It had been a long time since he saw anyone who really fit that word She was a well sharpened blade that it was hard to believe she was at the demi chef level
“……Anderson, where are the applications?”
“Hold on Oh, here”
After receiving the applications from Anderson, Minjoon started to read Janet’s information He then let out a small ‘’ The nan to him Pierro Garnish It was a restaurant that had maintained three stars for almost 20 years
“Why? Are you interested in her?”
“Of course Based on what I’ve seen so far, her cooking is the reen risotto? I don’t know It looks like a typical vegan dish”
“If it was vegan, there’s no way she would use dairy products or fish”
“Then at best a pesco?” (TL: Guessing short for pescatarian)
“Even if that’s the case, that’s not so that’ll lose you points What matters is the taste”
“The proble you didn’t pay attention to her cooking”
Jo Minjoon looked at Anderson with an ‘I knew it’ type of look Anderson responded back with a thorny voice
“No, you think I can watch all of those chefs cook?”
“I did”
“The two of you Stop it and coe”
“…… Sorry”
At Rachel’s words, Anderson responded with a grouchy face and gruhed while looking at him Rachel went to the first applicant and asked
“Based on what I saw, you boiled the chicken down in a sauce, and then braised it with e juice and a bit of soy sauce”
Jo Minjoon cut a small piece of chicken breast and put it inworked ith the dry chicken breast, and the chicken breast didn’t feel too dry either It wasn’t because he boiled it
People tend to think that if you boil meat, water will enter andis co But it only pertains to meat that has been marinated with salt and had its internal salinity increased If you marinate it like that, brush off the salt, and then put it in a sauce, the broth or sauce will seep in very well due to os is truly a science’
As tiastronomy at home Jo Minjoon started to speak
“It’s a dish that shows you what a chef with a strong basic foundation should be able to do The chicken breast was perfect and the reat combination”
“Thank you”
The applicant sardless of success or failure to join Rose Island, being able to get an evaluation froet the evaluation froue in the world Plus, next to hiendary Rachel Could there be a reat if all of theood evaluation, however, there were also dishes that it was extremely difficult to only say praises It didn’t matter whether it was because they were nervous or because they lacked the talent The dish in front of the they could use to evaluate them
“Sweet potatoyou cook, I was looking forward to the taste However, the two are not in harmony at all Mr Chris What is the reason? Is the recipe wrong or did you not successfully follow the recipe?”
“Honestly, this steak is cooked well But that’s it A sauce nature dish on just that …… I feel like it is too lacking It’s also not like the cohted either”
“Each of the ingredients are alive However, if you were to ask ether, it would be hard for me to answer yes”
Why did it feel like they were still so far away frohtly tired expression Maybe it was because they were both Asian that he felt a weird sense of fa back at him with a cold expression without an ounce of friendliness Rachel started to speak
“A combination of pear and mint …… the broth was chicken broth?”
“Yes In a fruit risotto, I believe that using chicken broth is the best way to bring out the flavor”
“I could feel a refreshi+ng taste in the rice other than pear and mint ……it is more soft than sharp Hmm……did you use le”
