Rebirth as the God of Cooking in Japan

The second finisher was actually the son who was late to the buzzer!

The whole audience was watching him. The young man was obviously very good in mental quality. He was accustomed to the big scene. Although he was still young, he could walk steadily. The hand holding the plate did not tremble, and he steadily brought the dishes to the examiner's bench.

"This is my cooking!"

Looking at the culinary elders Dojima Gin, Masato Kamahara and Ryoko Rina at close range, the son Jun also calmly said.

The two maids who came with him clasped their hands in the auditorium, making prayers, and the tension came from the heart.

"It must be qualified!" said an elderly maid.

"Definitely qualified!"

"Master has inherited the cooking skills of Watanabe's family!" said another petite and lovely maid, full of affirmation and full of confidence in Watanabe Jun.

"Western food?"

On the tray that Junya Watanabe brought up, there were three small white plates. On each plate, there was a piece of fried cod meat.

In addition to the cod meat, there are a few slices of fresh lemon on the plate, and a bunch of hot broccoli.

Of course, typical Western food must be decorated with dishes.

The bright green thyme is surrounded by a small daisy.

The entire plate has three colors: the crisp yellow of fish, the yellow of lemon slices, the green of broccoli and thyme, and the whiteness of the plate and small daisies.

At first glance, it looks full of art.

"Very exquisite Western food!" Masato Kanbara praised, "The presentation of Western food is a science. Before people taste the delicious flavors, the first thing people know about cooking is the visual image."

"This is an era of pursuit of vision. More than 85% of human cognition comes from vision. If a chef masters the skill of serving dishes, he can undoubtedly give extra points to his cooking."

Dojima Gin nodded, completely agreeing with Masato Kamahara's statement.

He found that Jun Watanabe had a good temperament and was very young, so he asked, "Are you still a student?"

Unexpectedly, Jun Watanabe also shook his head straight.

"Mr. Dojima, I stopped going to school a long time ago, let alone from Yuanyue, I'm sorry." The son's elder brother was very courteous, bowed slightly, "I am currently helping at home, and cooking is also a source of family learning."

"He belongs to Watanabe's." Ryoko Rina interjected, glanced at Watanabe Junya, and didn't talk nonsense, and picked up the knife and fork.

"Watanabe?"

Dojima Gin suddenly said, "The son of Watanabe Western Restaurant Chain Group, no wonder."

He turned to stare at the pieces of cod on the plate and smiled.

"The approach is unique..."

With that said, Dojima Gin also used a knife and fork to cut a crisp yellow cod and sent it to the import.

bland.

The mouth of the cod is tender, not greasy as fried food, and the taste is very smooth.

Dojima's silver eyes brightened, and he tasted it carefully, and couldn't help saying as he ate; "That's it! First process the cod meat into thick flakes, one slice is just enough for a dish, and use a kitchen paper towel to absorb the water attached to the fish. Clean, mixed with salt, cooking wine, pepper and other seasonings, and marinated for at least 20 minutes..."

Speaking of this, he paused.

Ryoko Rina swallowed the food in her mouth, put down the knife and fork, and grabbed the napkin and wiped the corners of her lips. Then she slowly said: "Curing is only the first step, but any chef will do this."

"The key is how to maintain the soft and smooth taste of the cod during frying."

She pointed to the large half of cod meat left on the white dinner plate, and the large broadcast screen above the stadium gave this cod meat a close-up shot in due course.

"After marinating, do you even apply egg yolk and milk on both sides of the cod meat?" Ryoko Rina glanced at Junya Watanabe lightly.

"Yes."

"Use an egg, smash it, remove the egg whites, leave only the yolk, add milk and mix and stir, evenly spread on the cod meat, dipped in an appropriate amount of cornstarch, fried with salad, so the silver cod is fresh and tender. , Can be retained to the maximum."

Jun Watanabe also responded calmly, without the panic of the luxurious examiner lineup when the buzzer was late.

"This step is not difficult. The key lies in oil temperature control!" Masato Kanbara explained to a group of audiences. "There are two stages for frying. In the first stage, the oil temperature is controlled at 80% hot, and the oil is fried at medium heat. When the two sides are golden, the second stage is reached. At this time, high fire is used to force out the fat that invades the fish during frying."

"If you can pass the second stage smoothly, this pan-fried cod fish dish with lemon juice will be more than half a success."

Hear the words.

The chefs in the audience are all discussing.

Oil temperature and heat control are actually more dependent on experience.Many middle-aged chefs also admire Watanabe Jun.

Judging from the color of the frying, this lemon sauce pan-fried cod has almost perfect heat control.

"So strong!"

Sniffing the scent of lemon mixed with fish in the air, Nito Hishasa swallowed secretly, but was also amazed by the cooking skills of his peers from another school. "In Yuanyue, at least it is the top level of three-year students. problem!"

"Watanabe Western Restaurant Group?" Nito Hisako suddenly remembered Ryoko Rina's words just now, and felt relieved.

For example, her new family home is good at Chinese medicinal food, and Watanabe's family is also a force that cannot be ignored in the neon catering industry. It started as a western restaurant in its early years. Over the past few decades, it has faintly accumulated to become a gourmet giant. Foundation.

If you just look at the appearance, Watanabe Junya's custard niche and weak image are indeed easy to misunderstand, this is a dude brother.

All three examiners put down their knives and forks, and the audience is eagerly awaiting the examiner's final assessment. Unexpectedly, Junya Watanabe suddenly said: "Wait, my cooking has not been fully presented yet!"

He raised his hand, and the examiner and the audience realized that he was always holding a small bottle of seasoning.

"This is a classic Italian sauce made by myself..."

Junya Watanabe stepped forward and spread the sauce evenly on the surface of the cod meat, then leaned back, "Please use it!"

However, none of the three examiners moved.

"enough!"

Dojima Gin embraced his arms in position, his voice low.

Junya Watanabe's heart sank, and he whispered that it was not good, but Dojima Gin was unexpected and gave a qualified evaluation.

"qualified!"

"qualified!"

Masato Kahara and Ryoko Rina also said one after another.

Junya Watanabe looked at the dinner plate in front of the three examiners, the delicious cod meat was only cut off a small corner.

Not allowing diners to feast on is a failure for the chef.Jun Watanabe gritted his teeth, and said unwillingly: "...Pour the Italian sauce on this dish, this dish is complete, please taste it!"

Ryoko Lina glanced at him indifferently, and said nothing.

Dojima Silver is also lacking in interest.

Masato Kanbara coughed, and slowly said: "Your cooking is very good, enough to pass the two-star rating. However, no matter how beautiful your cooking is decorated and tastes good, it still lacks essential things."

"Perhaps if you continue to study, it will not be too difficult to become a five-star and six-star chef in the future, but if you want to continue to move forward, you have to think carefully about what is missing in your cooking."

Jun Watanabe also left in despair, without the joy of passing the assessment.
