Rebirth as the God of Cooking in Japan

The dinner lasted until more than nine o'clock at night.

On the graduate side, leaving early, Xia Yu was called by Dojima Gin to go to a private kitchen.

"Please sit down—"

Greeting Xia Yu and Ryoko Rina to sit down, Dojima Gin put a document on the table and went to change the chef's uniform.

After a while, Dojima Gin returned and was busy in the kitchen counter.

"recipe?"

Picking up the folder, turning a page, Xia Yu immediately sat upright, staring at the title.

The special recipe "Valencia Paya"?

"A little familiar."

No matter what, it is also a big foodie. Xia Yu prides himself on eating multinational food, and always feels that'Valencia Paya' gives him a sense of familiarity.

"Valencia?" Next, Ryoko Rina glanced over and said faintly, "Spanish paella."

"Correct!"

Xia Yu slapped her thigh, "Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and the second seaport!"

Bayaia sounds awkward, so it's easy to understand paella directly.

You know, Paella is one of the three most famous dishes of Western cuisine, which are called pasta and French snails.

Although it is a famous dish, it is inevitable to be branded as'popular'...

Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help frowning, and said in her heart: "Dojima Gin will fool me with a popular recipe, right?"

Now Dojima Silver is paying off the debt.

A few nights ago, Dojima Gin asked him to initiate a halberd to Si Gong and wake up Si Gong. Xia Yu did it all as scheduled. Therefore, on the fifth night of the accommodation study, Dojima Gin finally had time to teach the recipe.

The problem is that Dojima Gin's promise is a special recipe. "Valencia Paaia" sounds like it does not have the compelling style of "Spice Ninet Egyptian Roast Chicken".

The first page of the recipe is densely packed.

"Main ingredients: shrimp, scallops, monkfish, rice."

"Excipients: olive oil, French sauce, tomato sauce."

"Spices: saffron, red pepper powder, garlic, chicken powder, fish meal."

They are all very common materials.

"Saffron?"

His eyes stopped on the spice materials, and Xia Yu had a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that this dish would actually use this kind of spice.

Crocus is actually Sichuan saffron and saffron. It is a valuable medicinal material and can also be used as a spice in cooking.

The taste is pungent, the color is gorgeous, and it exudes the scent of natural vegetation. If you exclude the fantasy-level spices, saffron can be said to be the most expensive spice in the world today.

"nothing special……"

Turning to the second page, it is the soup recipe.

Ok?!

After a few glances, Xia Yu sat up straight, "This is probably the core secret of Dojima's silver recipe!"

Stir-fry, boil, roast.

These are the three cooking methods used in "Valencia Paya".

Inheriting the traditional cumbersomeness of western food, it is full of details from the beginning of making the broth.After reading the recipe, Xia Yu roughly memorized the details that needed attention, then got up, walked to the kitchen counter, and watched Dojima Gin's live cooking.

On the kitchen counter, a pot of broth was already standing there, steaming hot.

Dojima Gin is in the second stage-stewing!

Shrimp, scallops, squid, and monkfish meat are fried and dyed with garlic, red pepper powder, and Italian peeled tomato sauce into a beautiful golden color. Dojima silver scoops up a spoonful of stock and pours it into a pan.

Then, he grabbed a handful of black uncooked rice and poured it into the pot.

black rice!

Xia Yu is keenly aware that this may be the second secret of the special recipe "Valencia Paaia"!

"Black rice?!"

A surprised voice came from behind.

Ryoko Rina said: "This kind of black rice is called'black rice'. The market price is 80,000 yen per 100 grams. It was used by food hunters in the'Nunavut' area near the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada about ten years ago. It was discovered that it is the only known grain that can survive in a cold environment. It has a strong and mellow taste, with the sweetness of starch, and the quality is far better than ordinary rice..."

Fantasy ingredients!

Dark rice!

Can't help taking a breath, this special recipe is stable!

Xia Yu cast aside his distracting thoughts and stared at the pan on the stove. The black rice was simmering in the golden sauce, without a trace of fading.

It takes about 20 minutes to simmer. During this time, Dojima Gin was not idle. Instead, he turned around in his private cabinet and took out the fine red twigs. This kind of thing is saffron, but obviously it cannot be used directly for paella cooking. See Dojima Silver grabbed a handful of saffron and sprinkled it on a piece of tin foil.

Afterwards, he put the tin foil on a charcoal stove that had already made charcoal, and bake the saffron at high temperature through the wire mesh and tin foil.Minutes later.

Dojima Gin crushed the roasted and dried saffron, washed it with water, and poured the water into a pan!

Flick the shovel spoon to mix the saffron water with the dishes, and the full pot of dishes will change into a gorgeous red!

Black rice with red accessories.

One red and one black.

The visual effect is almost perfect.

Xia Yu secretly liked this recipe, and even more liked this recipe.Good stuff!

"Pay attention to what he added to the cooking." Ryoko Lina reminded, "Recipes and on-site cooking are always different. Smart chefs usually break away from the recipe and perform on the spot according to the actual situation."

No need to remind, Xia Yu also kept his eyes on Dojima Gin.

"Chicken meal, fish meal."

"Huh... that kind of vegetable, which looks like a flower, is an artichoke?" Xia Yu thought to herself.

Artichoke was originally a plant on the Mediterranean coast. It was discovered and used for cooking as early as two thousand years ago in the Roman era. It has a reputation as the emperor of vegetables in Europe.

The taste is sweet and fragrant. The most important thing is that the artichokes have the aroma of walnuts!

Think about the scent of the lips and teeth when you eat walnuts. It is not difficult to imagine that adding a few peeled artichokes to the cooking can greatly enhance the diversified taste of the cooking!

Artichokes are not only a vegetable but also a spice for seasoning.

Inexplicably, Xia Yu faintly realized that artichokes and jet black rice were very likely to be a pair of CP.

What is the cp combination of cooking?

This is the same as Shinomiya Kojiro's white wine with sea bass, a golden national-level match, and this match often constitutes the core secret of the cuisine!

Fantasy ingredients, especially fusion.

For Xia Yu, who has been exposed to "Sangjiang Tofu" and tried to improve the recipe with this tofu, he is very concerned about the "fusion" mechanism!

Why is it that only a strong chef is qualified to apply fantasy ingredients to his own cooking?

The reason is nothing more than fantasy ingredients, which are untamable and stand out from the crowd. The characteristic flavors are too obvious, so a certain special recipe is usually researched around the core of fantasy ingredients.

Accessories, garnishes, spices.

Everything is for the "fusion" service of fantasy ingredients!

"Ding!"

Oven reminder sound.

Dojima Gin opened the oven, took out the'Valencia Paaia' that had been baked at 250°C for 10 minutes, placed it on the kitchen counter, and garnished the sliced ​​fresh lemons on the plate.

The food is complete!

Suddenly, the private kitchen faintly echoed the surging waves of the Arctic Ocean.
