Chapter 370 Fish-flavored shredded pork
Along with the heat of the flame, a wonderful aroma floated in the air. The rich aroma of the fish-flavored shredded pork, a mixture of sour, spicy, salty and sweet, was like a small hook, which hooked the gluttony in people's stomachs along the tip of their noses, making people suddenly lose their minds and just raise their heads to breathe in the aroma in the air.

Even if you can't taste it yourself, just smelling the aroma will make you drool.

"It's delicious!"

"My mouth is watering!"

"My stomach is growling. I can eat two more bowls of white rice just by the aroma!"

"Hey, I was afraid that I would be tempted, so I had dinner before coming here. Now my meal is all for nothing."

"The smell alone is so delicious, how wonderful it would be if I could taste it myself!"

Everyone imagined in their minds what this delicious dish should taste like. It must be a taste so wonderful that people would want to swallow their tongue!

Soon, the dishes of both sides were cooked and placed on plates, one after the other, in front of the judges' tables.

There is no difference between these two dishes just from the appearance. After all, the cooking method and ingredients of Fish-flavored Shredded Pork are fixed. Even if the ingredients are added or subtracted, the appearance will not be much different.

There are three criteria for judging dishes: color, aroma and taste.

Needless to say, the aroma is the best answer, and the sound of people swallowing saliva outside the venue is the best answer.

Of the two dishes, Han Jiang's dish has a stronger aroma, and although A Mao's dish has a slightly bland aroma, it has a harmonious flavor of its own.

In terms of color, the bright red peppers and the well-seasoned fish-flavored sauce present a red base color, and the ingredients of different colors make this red more vivid. The black fungus, white shredded meat, green peppers, and red carrots, the opposing colors collide with each other, bringing a strong visual impact.

Even if you don’t taste it, just seeing the color and smelling the aroma will make you know that this is definitely an excellent dish.

Dong Fang said, "Then, let the three of us start tasting."

After saying that, Dong Fang quickly stretched out his chopsticks towards Han Jiang's dish, picked up a piece of shredded pork with fish flavor and put it into his mouth, closed his eyes in satisfaction, and chewed and savored it carefully.

Seeing this, Chef Abei and the old man also picked up their chopsticks and tasted Han Jiang's dishes first.

As soon as the dish is put into the mouth, the first thing you feel is the unique sweet and sour taste of Fish-flavored Shredded Pork. The taste is refreshing and natural, like a fresh breeze that instantly sweeps through the mouth and instantly awakens the dormant taste buds.

The sour taste stimulates the secretion of saliva just right, making the muscles in the mouth slightly tighten, waiting for the next chewing.

Generally speaking, the sourness and sweetness of fish-flavored shredded pork coexist harmoniously, and the sourness and sweetness neutralize each other, so that the taste is not overly sweet, nor does it make people feel sour and astringent.

But the taste in my mouth at this moment has nothing to do with the words "harmonious coexistence". The sweetness and sourness not only did not blend with each other, but became stronger with each other's contrast. As soon as the sour taste that made my teeth ache passed, the sweetness melted on the tip of my tongue, just like drinking sugar water. The two flavors came and went, neither giving in, as if they used the taste buds as a duel field, fighting for territory without any hesitation.

After the sour and sweet tastes come on stage, the spicy taste is not to be outdone. A tiny pain passes through the tip of the tongue, as if a hot flame is jumping and dancing on the tip of the tongue. A warm and slightly stinging current spreads from the tip of the tongue, blends into the blood, and brings the whole body into this fiery temperature.

The addition of spiciness is like setting off a duel craze. The stinging sensation of spiciness makes the taste buds feel painful but also extremely sensitive, making the already distinct sourness and sweetness become even stronger under the stimulation of spiciness.

The three strong flavors are like three violent storms, raging on the tip of the tongue one after another, impacting the sensitive taste buds. The taste buds are like fragile little flowers ravaged by a storm, being constantly attacked by the strong flavors, with no ability to resist.

The salty taste is then added. Salty taste has the function of boosting other tastes. Its addition immediately makes the sour taste more sour, the sweet taste sweeter, and the spicy taste spicier. The already raging storm in the mouth instantly becomes overwhelming, making it difficult for the taste buds to resist and capturing the nerves.

The expressions on the three people's faces suddenly became colorful.

The attack of the sour taste made the three of them frown at the same time, then the sweep of the sweet taste made their brows relax, the invasion of the spicy taste made their whole faces slightly distorted, and finally the salty taste integrated all the tastes, and after a short pause and rest, it launched a new round of fierce offensive.

Just looking at their constantly changing expressions, it is difficult to tell whether the food is delicious or not.

If it's delicious, why do they have such a painful and twisted look on their faces?
If it wasn't tasty, why did we see happy and relieved expressions on their faces?

Indeed, a strong sense of taste will initially make people feel very uncomfortable or even painful.

Once the taste buds get used to this pain, they will feel an indescribable sense of comfort and pleasure, just like a skilled masseur who is meticulously massaging each taste bud, allowing the taste buds to gradually relax under the strong massage force, and gradually become soft and light.

This strong taste stimulation leaves a soft feeling on the taste buds as if you are in the clouds, making your body and mind feel refreshed and happy.

As the taste invades, the teeth subconsciously taste the food in the mouth.

The ingredients are cut into equal sizes so that they retain the best taste under the heat of the flame.

As soon as you bite into it, you can feel the tender pork, crispy black fungus, fresh green pepper, and soft and tender carrot shreds.

The shredded meat has been marinated in advance to maintain its fresh and juicy taste. When you bite it, you can feel the slight elasticity and jumping between your teeth. The tender texture turns into smooth meat puree after chewing, with almost no impurities and meat tendons.

The crispy wood ear mushrooms make a slight "crunch" sound when you bite them lightly. The wood ear mushrooms are smooth and tender, and slide smoothly on the tip of your tongue. Their fresh and natural taste adds a unique vitality to the dish.

The tender green peppers have a meaty feel. After being stir-fried at high temperature, the plump green pepper flesh locks the moisture firmly inside the green peppers. With a light bite from the teeth, the delicious juice bursts out instantly, carrying the unique aroma of the green peppers, filling the mouth.

The carrot shreds are flexible and crispy. The unique sweetness of carrots is more vivid after being fried at high temperature, allowing the original sweet taste to be slowly released in the mouth. The perfect hardness of the carrot shreds gives it a unique chewiness, which is effortless to chew. It is refreshing and juicy, giving the teeth a very pleasant chewing experience.
