Cuttlefish sauce rice or another name in Spain called cuttlefish sauce paella, where seafood could be added.
Different types of seafood could be added according to one’s taste. For example, shrimp, shellfish, crab, and so on. There was no seafood that couldn’t be added. To put it bluntly, it was a Spain version of seafood stew.
As a matter of fact, having obtained a full set of Spain dishes, Yuan Zhou knew that nothing was added to the cuttlefish sauce rice in the beginning. Later on, it was improved in order to make a serving of rice more expensive.
The cuttlefish sauce rice cooked by Yuan Zhou was definitely the most traditional dish. It was a dish without any additional seafood, except for the cuttlefish sauce and some other seasonings. It wasn’t that he was inflexible in thinking that the original dish was the best, but if other seafood was added to this dish, the original taste of the cuttlefish sauce would be ruined and it would become weird.
Even though the cuttlefish rice looked very black without any additional ingredients, it still had a clear feeling.
When he put the rice into his mouth, the first thing he felt was the taste of the cuttlefish juice. Only then did the faint salty taste begin to appear. Immediately, there was a strong rice fragrance that neutralized the salty taste, leaving only a little bitterness. After swallowing, the taste that remained in his mouth was a little fragrance.
In fact, the taste of cuttlefish juice was relatively mild in the mouth. The rice served as a foil to enhance the sweet and soft texture of the rice. The unique slight bitterness of the rice was similar to that of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which made the taste of the rice even better.
“Good, good, good! The amount of cuttlefish juice is just right. A little more will cover the smell of the rice. If it’s a little less, it won’t be able to achieve this goal at all. Moreover, the texture of the rice is a little too good. It’s soft until the end before it becomes a little hard. It’s just right to match the slightly sticky cuttlefish juice. ” Mark was very fond of cuttlefish rice.
His movements were very fast, but of course, he was still a little slower than Moliere, who had been practicing for a long time, so Moliere snatched a few bites from him.
Moliere had tried cuttlefish sauce rice before, but it didn’t taste good. It had a strong fishy smell, and with all kinds of seafood in it, it was even more fishy. He didn’t want to eat it at all.
However, Yuan Zhou’s cooking was different. Except for a little salty and fishy smell that led the flavor, there was no other fishy smell at all. On the contrary, there was a faint fragrance that ran through the whole process, making people feel unable to stop.
Therefore, in the name of sharing Mark’s worries, Moliere boldly and decisively snatched the food. In addition, Mark’s prevention of food snatching was not fluent, so the loss was not small. One-third of the food went into Moliere’s stomach, which made mark very angry.
He didn’t have time to be angry for too long, because the next dish was coming.
As the dishes were served one after another, mark also realized that unlike Chinese cuisines, which had countless varieties Spain cuisines did not pay much attention to the plate presentation.
Western food pursued exquisite plate presentation, but Spain Food was the opposite.
For example, the grilled salad, which was a variety of grilled vegetables, was a traditional Catalan dish.
There were grilled eggplants and green peppers in this dish. Sometimes there were onions, potatoes, garlic, and so on. The dishes were rich and varied, depending on the chef’s own wishes and the diners ‘thoughts.
Mark’s grilled salad was very much to his liking. He had been in China for a while and especially wanted to eat Spain onions and potatoes. This grilled salad completely satisfied his wishes. The crispy and spicy onions, the soft and sticky potatoes, and the burnt fragrance were very delicious.
The two of them ate at a fast speed, so the meal was soon coming to an end. The last dish was served, which was the Galician pie that mark ordered.
There were two ways to make Galicia pies. One was to bake it in the oven, and the other was to fry it in a frying pan.
What Yuan Zhou used was naturally the frying pan. Besides, the fillings of the pies were also very different. However, there was one kind of filling that everyone thought was more traditional, which was to use tuna and chili.
Naturally, what mark wanted to order was also traditional. He was the first person in traditional Spanish cuisine and had been working hard to recreate the classic Spanish cuisines. He had also been very effective, otherwise, he would not have such a high status.
The pie that was served exuded a strong fragrance of eggs. This was the fragrance that was emitted after the surface was brushed with egg liquid and fried. It had a golden color and an alluring fragrance. The pie had been cut into a triangular shape the size of half a palm. The layers were distinct, and the stuffing inside also emitted a fragrance. It was considered the most fragrant dish among all the Spain dishes. Even Madrid stew couldn’t compare.
The two of them, who had already formed a tacit understanding, no longer talked nonsense. They directly picked up their chopsticks, picked up a piece of pie, and stuffed it into their mouths.
The freshly-fried pie was still hot, and the outer layer was crisp and hard. With one bite, it was bitten off by one’s teeth, revealing the slightly tough middle layer and the inner skin that had been softened by the filling. The transition from hard to soft, and with the filling filled with rich sauce, the taste of tuna mixed with chili was wonderful.
“The rich tuna paired with the fresh chili peppers is spicy and sets off the tuna’s seafood taste. Together with the perfectly-fried pancake, the taste of this pie is as if it can bring people back to the past. Tradition is simply a classic example of tradition.” Mark was really impressed.
Previously, no matter if he had eaten Chinese food or Singapore Food, he only knew that Yuan Zhou’s dishes were very delicious, very delicious, indescribably delicious. However, mark had no specific reference and could only say that he had a general impression.
However, Spain cuisine was different. It was the dish that mark had been cooking for his whole life and he was very familiar with it. Because of this, he could better understand how powerful Yuan Zhou was. Once again, he felt regretful for not participating in the bogus cooking competition.
He had watched the videos many times, but he had never really tasted Yuan Zhou’s delicacies. It was such a pity. Those dishes were created by Yuan Zhou according to the requirements of the people at the scene. They must be very delicious.
“Fortunately, I still have a few months of vacation. I can eat more.” Many thoughts ran through Mark’s mind.”It’s hard to believe that head chef Yuan, who has never been to Spain, can make such a traditional Spanish dish. Is this the power of a cooking magician?”
Compared to ju man Li and the others, who had only stayed for a few days, he was really a goddess of luck.
“I remember that head chef Yuan will take in students from any cuisine he goes to. I think I can do it with Spain cuisine.” He didn’t know how Mark knew.
By the time mark and Moliere finished the pie, lunch time was almost over.
Because of the large number of people, it ended a little later than usual. It wasn’t that the time was extended, but that more people seized the last minute of the opening time to come in and eat.
Therefore, after sending off the last customer, Yuan Zhou felt a little tired even with his physical strength.
“Tomorrow’s discount should be about the same as today ‘s, right?” Yuan Zhou guessed.
The main reason was that they had already received the most customers today. Even if they wanted more people to come tomorrow, they wouldn’t have the time and space.
He had already made an appointment with Cheng zhaomei and the other disciples to meet in the afternoon. Therefore, after washing up and changing his clothes, Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to practice his knife skills and left the time for his disciples.
Just as Yuan Zhou came down from the second floor, Cheng zhaomei appeared with a group of people. They had to meet their master in advance.
