News from this newspaper in June On the 25th, at the Zhengzhou Commercial Technician College branch of the first vocational skills competition in Henan Province, seven competition projects were undergoing fierce "PK". Among them, there is a project that is not only beautiful, but also full of "aroma", attracting many people to stop. It is "Chinese cooking".
It is understood that the contestants must complete three items of dishes on site in accordance with the requirements of the competition plan, including a cold assortment of colors; a dish with prescribed ingredients; and a creative dish. The project is divided into three sessions, two on the first day and one on the second day. The reporter saw at the competition site that the required dishes for the competition that day were stir-fried kidneys , and contestants were required to complete the required dishes within 30 minutes after the official start of the competition. After the start of the competition timer, the contestants entered the intense food preparation phase. Within half an hour, fried kidneys with full color, aroma and flavor were continuously produced, and then were sent to the referee's room by the staff for tasting and scoring.
After the prescribed dishes are completed, the next step is the cold assortment and creative dishes. According to the on-site staff, the cold assortment of colors must use more than 6 kinds of raw materials, and a cold assemblage of colors must be made on site. After the timer started, the contestants began to show off their excellent knife skills. I saw one of the contestants cutting the cucumber into slices at an extremely fast speed without breaking the bottom. When he put it into the water, it slowly unfolded like a flower, which reminded people of the "Chrysanthemum Tofu" in "Meng Hua Lu". Next is the creative dishes, the contestants need to make a creative hot dish on the spot.
A contestant from Puyang told reporters that the colorful cold combination he made was "Southern Scenery" and the creative dish he made was "lychee shrimp balls". This player said that in order to participate in this competition, he began to practice continuously after passing the trials in October last year, and his unit also hired teachers for special training for him. "The competition is quite stressful." This player said that because there is a time limit during the competition, there is a strong sense of pressure, and because he is surrounded by "masters" selected from various places, he will be more nervous. "But after practicing for such a long time, I am very confident in myself and hope that I can achieve an ideal result."
