Reincarnating to Become a Japanese Chef God

"Here is the flour—"

Shanben Natsuki came back with the ingredients very neatly.

This cockscomb young man, and Xia Yu, were a trainee at the Chiyo Shrine in the same period, but time has passed, and Natsumoto Xiashu hasn't really entered the special class, but Xia Yu has challenged the older generation of Taishan.

There is no monk uniform in the monastery, just like a young man on the streets of the city, dressed in everyday casual clothes.Shanben Xiashu put down half a bag of flour, smiled again, and revealed a closed food container.

"Xia Yu, I know you are interested in'Looking Up at the Starry Sky', cough, so I have prepared salted fish for you, so let us discuss the real dark cooking way together—"

Shanben Xiashu looked eager.

"Uh?"

Xia Yu stopped thinking and blinked, "Salted fish? Looking up at the stars?"

The corner of his eyes twitched.

Such a famous dark dish, just hearing it, can cause intense discomfort, can you mention it less?what!

"Hey! You may have misunderstood something!"

"Huh?"

On the contrary, Shanben Xiashu was shocked, "You see that I need flour, don't you want to discuss dark cooking with me?"

"..."

Shan Benliu's "Looking up at the stars", he knew that Xia Yu had learned from Chiyo Shrine back then.

Flour and salted fish are the main ingredients.

The combination of the two forms a new style of "Looking up at the stars", cough!

Xia Yu finally knows why this product has not been able to break through to the special grade.

Nima, there is no serious chef who talks about "dark cuisine" every day.

The enthusiasm in the eyes of Kashanmoto Natsuki does not seem to be fake.

My God, Xia Yu felt silent in his heart for the position of the "big brother" of the Shilin Temple generation. It is estimated that a really old monk, Qing Mu Zongtai, had such a wonderful work in his family, and it was also very headache.

"I want flour, I want to make hand-made ramen!" Xia Yu explained funny, "This is my personal cooking practice. It has nothing to do with dark dishes! I promise!"

"what!"

Shanben Xiashu suddenly collapsed her shoulders and sighed with regret.

Xia Yu didn't understand or didn't want to understand the pain of losing a friend. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go if you have something to do. If you want to see it, just let me be honest!"

Shanben Xiashu opened his mouth to preach, just like Xia Yu's first night at Shilin Temple, he went to Xia Yu and muttered, boasting about the appearance of his dark work, but when he heard the words, he immediately swallowed the words back to his stomach.

He is not stupid, IQ is online.

Even if it is not his own'Dark Way', it is not a small blessing to be able to observe a master and cook on-site at such close range.

Correct.

Shanben Xiashu's mentality is peaceful, not because Xia Yu is younger than himself, and still in the cooking, there is no scum left to explode himself, causing inexplicable jealousy and hostility.

The mentality and stature have been lowered, and the young master's aura in front of him cannot be ignored in any case.

Xia Yu began to pour flour and make it by hand.

He was not in a hurry, staring at the fine-quality, high-quality flour in the conditioning basin, with thoughts written on his face.

Since it is Wabi Ramen, you have to give your own feelings about Wabi to cook.

In fact, this is Shiyi.

In other words, it is the creation of "meaning."

This "meaning" is in the'color, fragrance, shape, and meaning'.

"The first level of wabi-sabi,'Outside Xiuzhong', made me deliberately make the cooking ugly, and then it tastes amazing? God, this is too real and does not conform to my philosophy."

"The second level of wabi-sabi,'years pass', is also superficial."

"That thing, since I have named Dao and surnames, I want to eat the novel'Wabi-Sabi' with the new sense of the times, that is, the understanding of the poem'Wan Muchun in front of the diseased tree' is correct!"

Xia Yu's brains worked at high speed.

I know the third level of Wabi-Sabi, but how do I operate it in actual cooking?

In other words, what kind of cooking skills should he use to realize the connotation of the poem'Wan Muchun in front of the sick tree'.

A bowl of ramen can be roughly divided into: noodles, soup, and vegetables.

Then there is the part of taste: taste and seasoning.

In fact, ramen was introduced to the island country from Yokohama Chinatown more than 100 years ago, and after a series of improvements to conform to the taste of the neon people, it became a popular delicacy like Japanese ramen. Among them, the “noodles” part is compared with soup and dishes. As well as the taste, the change should be the least.

In China, ramen noodles are made by complicated handwork after the chefs kneaded the noodles.

In Neon, ramen is cut with a knife, or simply using a noodle machine, which is convenient and quick.

Both are "ramen noodles", but because of the lye, the taste is different.

But really speaking, ramen hasn't changed much.

The root is there!

"So, I think of ramen as a'sick tree', and if I want to make the old tree bloom and rejuvenate, I am not stupid to change the ramen, but look at a bowl of ramen as a whole!"

"The freshness of the times, the vitality of the times...just in the soup, dishes, or the flavor and seasoning part!"

The construction drawings in Xia Yu's mind gradually became clear.

The corner of his mouth quickly conjured up a refreshing smile.

Yes!

"Perhaps like this, when chewing, it is easy to breed wabi-sabi emotions in the mouth. But this is only a change in the'dishes' part. Should I use the knife for the soup and seasoning parts?" Xia Yu pointed at the cooking skills. column.

After the explosion, the spice inequality also broke and reached the source.

Is it time to play it out?

Xia Yu looked very cautious.

...

When the abbot Zongtai Aoki and Yizhen went to the kitchen, Xia Yu had already made the noodles, and the pot for boiling the soup was also set on a modern stove.

At this time, the stove fire was booming, and there was a trace of twisted mist on the soup pot.

What really stopped the two of them and showed their surprise is the "side dish" Xia Yu is making for ramen.

The side dishes of Japanese-style ramen are well-known, but only those few.

Young bamboo shoots, red ginger, seaweed.

Sweetheart.

And... Japanese-style barbecued pork!

Such as tender bamboo shoots and ginger onions, Xia Yu certainly cannot make major changes.

And the sweetheart, but the space for manipulation is too narrow.

The only thing left is the barbecued pork!

Now Xia Yu is making her own unique char siu pork in a way that no one else can understand.

In fact, I watched a lot of dramas and saw the round and round Japanese-style barbecued pork on the screen. This barbecued pork often appears with ramen. It can be called a CP match. Even Xia Yu herself was very curious before. "Style barbecue pork", how is it done?

It doesn't seem to be pure frying.

Soft and juicy.

But eating Japanese food, ramen noodles, two or three pieces of meat is too stingy, I don’t understand gluttons at all.

So later, Xia Yu asked the old man specifically, that was his awakening system, one of the few culinary consultations before he officially started.

Japanese-style barbecued pork meat, especially knives.

First, unfold a whole piece of pork belly, or plum pork, and cut it into large slices. Is it thick? To keep it thick on your fingers, it must be even.

Thickness and cross section are the center of gravity of the details of knife work.

Then, use a wooden hammer to chop the meat, but not chop it up, just like the steak tendon.

The second is to pack "Zongzi"!

The meat is rolled up and the cotton rope is tied tightly, looking like a zongzi.

The next step is nothing more than frying the'meat dumplings'. After three consecutive steps of frying, stewing, and boiling, at least one to two hours, a portion of Japanese-style barbecued pork is considered to be finished.

But now, Xia Yu's approach fell in the eyes of Shanben Xiashu, Qingmu Zongtai, and a really old monk. It was very "simple"!

He slices the pork first. Although the slices of pork are Japanese-style barbecued pork, familiar round slices, the steps are...

Shanben Xiashu screamed, and said, "Isn't it supposed to make'meat rolls' first, fry and stew, and refrigerate them for a while before they can be sliced?"

"The conventional meaning of'Japanese-style barbecued pork meat' must be done."

Sect Aoki groaned and said, "Because, after frying and stewing for at least 1 hour, let alone the meat slices, the meat rolls tied with cotton rope will become very fragile. Cut with a knife, and the meat slices will be broken. Very high, even if the chef has a relatively clever knife skill."

Refrigeration is equivalent to the meaning of fixed form for'Japanese-style barbecued pork'.

However, Xia Yu’s processing steps are completely messed up, slice first, so there is no “meat roll”. In this way, the meat slices will be broken into slag after high-intensity frying and stewing. It is not difficult to predict .

Xia Yu sliced ​​meat, not forgetting to look up at the three of them, and found that they were hesitant to talk, which was even more interesting.

Who said I'm going to make'Japanese BBQ Pork'?

Since it is going to change, it will simply become'Xia's Char Siew Pork'!

Hey, and ah, there is also'Wabi-Sabi'!

Break the game here!

Noodles is the "sick tree".

As for the freshness and the vitality of time, let's create it with barbecued pork.
