Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"It's the ramen of mushroom broth again... if it is a plain soup, the easiest thing to think of is the mushroom broth and kelp broth... Wait! No, this ramen is... Contestant No. 94, please prepare again Four ramen noodles!"

"Huh? Do you want to enter the stage of collective review?"

"It smells good, and it is not at the same level as other mushroom soup noodles..."

"She uses wild mountain mushrooms, and...in the noodles, the fungus pieces are mixed in!"

"Goose egg fungus, pearl fungus, song leg fungus, shimeji fungus, white roe fungus, pine fungus, celestial fungus...not only soup, but the toppings are also cooked or roasted fungi to pickle. The side dishes that match each other form a perfect circuit!"

"And... this soup has a very strong feeling, but there should be no cream or the like in the taste, and the theme is not allowed..."

Standing in front of the five judges, it was listening to praise her "Shan Mushroom Ramen", and Yuuhime, with an innocent smile on her face, replied at this time: "Of course! I added powdered yam in it. , That’s why it feels heavy, and the sweetness of the yam can also balance the jerky of the mountain fungus!"

The five judges looked at each other and said: "Very good! I didn't expect that there are players like you in the second division... Is it your first time to participate in the competition?"

"Yes, I am a student of Yuanyue Academy, this is also my grade assessment!"

"Yuanyue Academy...Isn't it a professional ramen teacher? Some Yuanyue students have passed before, but your ramen is more delicious than them. There are two top ten in Division One, right? You are in the grade. After the assessment, you will be promoted to the top ten, right?" After learning that Yuu Ji is a student of Yuan Yue, and not a descendant of a special ramen restaurant, he couldn't help but tentatively asked.

Yuuhime stuck out her tongue wittyly, and said, "Although I am very happy to say that, my goal is indeed the top ten, but if I can be directly promoted to the top ten... I am afraid someone will be dissatisfied in the future!" After speaking, he looked back at Itake Tsuki and Nao Sadazuka in the same division.

"What? You are too humble? Are you just in this division, and there is a successor to the top ten?"

If he said he was a "top ten competitor", Yuuhime would admit it when he was cruel, but said he was a "successor"... Yuuhime was not so swollen, but seeing the judges didn't believe it so much, she didn't explain much. Just say: "Hey, you will know later, just treat it as a surprise for cooking..."

"Well... Contestant No. 94 Yuuhime Ino passes!" the judges of the second division announced.

At the same time, in the third venue, the judges were also immersed in the soup of sea mushroom ramen...

"Sure enough... Is it sea mushroom broth? It's really hard for you to find such a rare ingredient!"

"Indeed, I have only tasted it a few times... As a pure wild deep-sea plant that cannot be cultivated, it is only found on the south coast of Chile in South America in the world. After five years of growth, sea mushroom cores can be collected. The export is restricted to 300 tons per year... …"

Hearing what the judges said, the other contestants couldn't help but mumble, apparently thinking that the "big dog" who killed Matt's haircut was suspected of being promoted because of the scarcity of ingredients.

And just when they started whispering, the big dog who killed Matt’s hairstyle tied the headscarf on his wrist to his head...

Then he turned around and glanced at them with extremely contemptuous eyes and said: "You rubbish, what are you doing to me, if you are dissatisfied, just go find me sea velvet by yourself! It's just that this precious ingredient that limits production is given to you. This bunch of rubbish is just a waste!" As he said, he spread his teeth and claws and rolled his tongue.

The other contestants froze for a while, and fortunately, at this moment, the judges in the center also said: "Quiet! The sea velvet itself conforms to the theme restrictions and does not violate the rules... and it is indeed just as the No. Said that sea mushroom is not easy to cook, and being able to control it in the form of a'soup' has already explained..."

That's right, it was Kurokiba Ryo who killed Matt, and when the judges were speaking for him, Kurokiba went straight to him and patted the table...

"Hey! You guy hasn't tasted my toppings yet? When are you going to nag? Huh?"

The judges were also taken aback by him. Such a "personalized" player is really the first time I have met... It seems that he is still a student of Yuan Yue, right?Why hasn't been expelled yet?

However, he was really curious about the toppings. The toppings were something with a black skin and a cylindrical shape. Each section was about the length of a little finger and two circles thinner than the little finger...

Several judges picked up a piece of it under Kurokichang's "suggestion".

At the moment of chewing at the entrance, the crisp sound of "creaking" came from the lips and teeth of the judges!

The sweet and sour taste, crispy taste, and the umami taste of the previous sea mushroom soup and the soft taste of wide noodles form an excellent match!

"this is……"

"It seems to be ice bamboo shoots. I had it once two years ago, but it was used as a cold dish at that time." Another judge said.

"Bingsun? In other words, and Hairong should be'neighbors'?"

"Yes, ice bamboo shoots are usually produced on Chilo Island, Chile, close to Antarctica. They live in sea water as low as 4 degrees Celsius..."

"Unexpectedly, there is also a successor to the top ten in our No. 3 stadium... When the school starts next year, will you be the next top ten?" the judges exclaimed.

"Hahaha, you old man is quite discerning! This uncle will definitely win the first seat next year!"

Compared to Yuuhime, Kurokiba doesn't seem to know what "modest" is.

Of course, the judges didn't take it seriously this time. After all, his attitude seemed to be "sniffing". Moreover, the second-year student took the first seat last time, when Naginaki Thistle was studying 20 years ago!These judges have not even heard of the fact that there are two-year students taking the first seat...

"whispering sound……"

A very faint disdain was heard from the scene, but Kurokiba immediately heard who it was, and turned his head, only to see a young man with white hair and brown skin, leaning on his cooking table... …

After the judges announced that "Ryo Kurokiba, Contestant No. 77, passed," Kurokiba put his face close to the judges in the middle and said, "Wait, do me a favor, are you all gourmets? Use your tongue to give Ben Uncle, judge carefully, who's the more delicious food between me and that guy!"

That's right, "that guy" is naturally Ye Shanliang, who is also Yuanyue Academy, and he happened to be in Division 3 with Heimuchang. Except for Division 1, the other nine divisions seem to be randomly assigned.

Coincidentally, the Aldini brothers were all assigned to Division 4...

And this time, the younger brother Isami used the onion soup base, adding a three-layer structure with a layer of cheese in the middle of the wide noodles, while the older brother Takmi used the tomato soup base, and the topping was The small "Calzone" filled with bell peppers and black olives is a pizza that looks a little like dumplings.

That's right, both of them have mixed the best of each other's "Autumn Trials" in their creativity...

In the preliminaries of the autumn election, Takumi presented curry noodles with three-layered wide noodles, while Isami made Calzone curry with tomato juice as a soup base!

At this time, they also won a final place...

In Division 5, Miyoko Hojo presented the pot noodles in the "Top Ten Chinese Noodles". If you carefully care about it, it is not the "ramen" form of Chinese cuisine.

However, "ramen" in island countries is a transliteration, and in fact it does not correspond to the "ramen" of Chinese cuisine.

It was originally a transliteration of the "noodle soup" in Chinese cuisine, and when it was transliterated back to Chinese again, it became "ramen". It is generally believed that the "noodle soup" originally introduced to island countries should be "old noodles" or "lao noodles". "Lu noodles", so it was transliterated into the island national language and now the pronunciation of "ramen"...

Later, because Japanese-style ramen came out of its own unique style, which is different from Chinese-style noodle soup, "heavy soup but not noodles", it became a proper noun. When it was transliterated again, it became "ramen."

In fact, the noodle soup that was first introduced to the island country should be "Nanjing noodles", not ramen...

So the so-called "Sapporo Ramen Contest" can be regarded as the "Sapporo Noodle Soup Contest". "Pull" is not a verb. For example, most of the players now prepare special noodle machines, and some use sliced ​​noodles. ...

On the other hand, "Gukai noodles" is similar to "Japanese-style ramen" in terms of the noodles themselves. They are all rolled into noodles and then cut into thin strips.

Even for Chinese ramen, many people no longer use the form of human "ramen", but they still call "ramen".

Of course, there are real "ramen" noodles, such as the "Yammo King Ramen" that Liu Subaru has tasted, which is really "pulled" by Shiroichiro (of course!).

It is precisely because of this that at the beginning, Pleiades Liu didn’t know much about Japanese-style ramen. He instinctively imagined Japanese-style ramen, which sounds like "ramen", as Chinese ramen...

After all, this kind of common sense problem cannot be emphasized by Yuanyue Academy in the advanced department... Even the elementary department probably will not specifically record such things, because what they call "ramen" is "noodle soup". ", written in island script is just katakana, not hiragana converted from Chinese characters. There is no "pull" in the first place, and no special emphasis is needed.

Therefore, the "pot noodles" that belong to the soup noodles were used at this time without any problems. In the island countries, they insist that it is a kind of "ramen", and no one can refute it, but it is different from the traditional meaning. Compared with noodles, the biggest difference is that the noodles are cooked in soup.

Regardless of whether it is Japanese-style ramen or Chinese ramen, the noodles are mostly boiled in water and cooked with soup.

Pot lid noodles, as the name suggests...yes, you really put the pot lid in the noodle soup and boil it!

Speaking of origin, it's almost the same as most dishes, and it all comes from "accidents"...

Once the cook accidentally used the wrong pot lid, and threw the small pot lid directly into the boiling noodle soup, so there was "pot lid noodles"!

Of course, what was thrown in was not the metal lid, but the old-fashioned disc-shaped wooden lid in Chinese cuisine.

It is generally believed that when the wooden pot lid floats in the noodle soup, the aroma of wood will enter the soup. At the same time, because it is not too much smaller than the pot lid, as long as the fire is pressed, the noodle soup can be controlled to a certain extent. It boils and maintains air permeability, so the noodles are not easy to boil...

And now the "wooden pot lid" used by Miyoko Hojo, or a round cake-shaped driftwood pressed into the noodle soup, is a special Chinese restaurant run by her family!

The whole use of agarwood...

In addition to being a precious wood, agarwood itself is also a Chinese medicine and spice. Agarwood with a large oil content will sink in water (who said to car beads? Stand up for me!), but most of the density of agarwood It is smaller than water.

Hojo Miyoko's secret "pot lid" was soaked and smoked in the secret spice recipe before it was put into use!

Hojo Miyoko’s "pot noodle" method is also the simplest. In addition to the secret "pot", pure vegetable oil is also prepared to fry the green onions for 20 minutes until the green onions are completely dry. Add the shallot oil and shallot segments to the white water, and then add the sugar and heat it with a small fire...

When she is about to reach her, the finely sliced ​​noodles and the secret "pot" are poured into the water. When the noodles are cooked, they are placed in a bowl with soy sauce and garlic. The topping is just Freshly sliced ​​cucumber shreds!

In a word, Miyoko Hojo’s cooking process has been "a twists and turns". First, it was regarded as a soy sauce player... and he was the least serious player in soy sauce!

After all, in the eyes of the judges and other contestants, her soup only contains shallots and shallot oil...

The topping is only shredded cucumber, and it is simply shredded cucumber, without any other processing...

And that pot cover...why should you bring it yourself?And also brought the wrong size?What the hell is just throwing the lid in!

After all, "pot noodles" are not common in island countries, and most of the restaurants that provide pot noodles use other methods instead of the most primitive way of throwing "pot noodles" directly into the soup.

Miyoko Hojo is just like that, because of the "least heart", among hundreds of people, it attracted the attention of referees and other players...

But when the tasting session arrived, Miyoko Hojo’s "scallion soy sauce garlic noodles" made the judges who were originally impatient with her, while indulging in the unique fragrance, they were shocked for a long time without saying Talking!

Afterwards, the judges disputed whether the use of the secret recipe "pot lid" was considered to be the use of prohibited semi-finished products...

If it is just a wooden pot lid made of agarwood, it is definitely not a semi-finished product, but Miyoko himself explained that this pot lid is "secret"...

Obviously there was no “Prohibition of the use of secret pot lids” before the contest, and Miyoko didn’t use it secretly. He just threw the pot lid in the public’s attention. Since it was not stopped before, there seems to be no reason now. Determined to cheat.

And whether the lid is a kitchenware or a secret blend of spices is still controversial.

In the end, because Miyoko Hojo directly promised that she would not use this secret "pot" in the finals, the judges also announced her approval.

As for the next competition, it is estimated that certain requirements will be made for the "kitchenware"...

If Miyoko Hojo’s pot cover noodles made the judges entangled, then Yu Mei in Division 6 almost made the judges think that there was a problem with the pre-match inspection work!

Because on the "Dongpo Meat Ramen" she presented, there were a few pieces of Dongpo meat that were moderately fat and skinny, and the whole bowl of ramen was very meaty...

Other players can't help but talk about it. If it is "cheating", then this is too courageous?Put Dongpo meat directly in front of the judges?

"Please taste it! My'Dongpo Meat Ramen'!"

After the five judges looked at each other, they also looked at the referee in charge of supervising Yu Mei's area...

If it is said that when entering the arena, the inspectors of the ingredients will be negligent, but it is impossible for the referee to find it?

But only saw the referee, with a weird expression, shrugging his shoulders to the five judges...

Although I wanted to ask when he was blind, because of his professionalism, he hypnotized himself forcibly, ignored the pieces of Dongpo meat, and tasted the noodles themselves!

At the moment when the noodles were dipped in the soup, the five judges opened their eyes at the same time, and immediately tasted the soup with a spoon as if instinctively. After tasting the soup, they couldn't help but naturally, each I picked up a piece of Dongpo meat that was still trembling...

"This kind of rich meaty... straight into the nose!"

"Yes, it seems to be real Dongpo meat."

"But if you taste it carefully, this should be... yam and dried tofu?"

Seeing the reaction of the judges, Yu Mei explained with satisfaction.

Those Dongpo meats that look fat, thin, and skins are actually yam and dried tofu!

Among them, the skin and fatty meat are steamed and peeled yam puree, mixed with honey, sesame oil, salt, soy sauce, ginger juice and other spices...

The skin is the result of smearing a small amount of "mixture" on the iron plate and adding sauce to fry, while the fat part is made by steaming the mixture in a mold again.

As for the lean meat part, dried tofu is used and steamed together with the "fat" in a mold, and finally the "skin" is covered...

And the Dongpo meat that originally needed sugar, because the "fat" and the honey in the "skin" do not need additional sugar, other cooking steps, Yu Mei also stayed up late last night to improve!

Although it can’t be called a fake and true, at least Yu Mei is confident that his "Dongpo meat", even if ordinary people are blindfolded and handed over this "Dongpo meat", the other party will definitely be able to taste it, and I want it It’s "Dongpo Meat", but the taste is a bit strange...

But it's definitely not bad, just obviously different from the real Dongpo meat.

As for the noodles and soup, Yu Mei has also specially designed it, but it plays a role as a supporting role of "Dongpo Meat", which is to arouse the appetite of the judges!

"But...this is a ramen contest after all..." A judge seemed hesitant.

Although this is the first dish in Division 6 that gave him a "delicious" feeling, from the perspective of "ramen", is this topping too ridiculous?

"No, you don't need to pay attention to what kind of competition this is. Since it complies with the rules, it is'ramen', and the soup and toppings are all vegetarian, we only care about whether it is'delicious' or not!" The judge sitting in the middle said with a final word. .

"In Division 6, Contestant No. 114 Mito Yumei, pass!"

In the No. 7 Division, the fragrance of the medicine is tangy, and it has been the turn of the 139th contestant, who has passed 69th place so far!

For regions other than No. 1, it is incredible to have such a pass rate...

And what created this incredible, it was Scarlett that appeared on the 11th!

An appetizing and spleen-invigorating diet soup base, coupled with noodles kneaded with plums, made the appetites of the judges a bit better than usual, and their sense of taste is more sensitive to "deliciousness", which can be called an audience support!

In the eighth division, the faces of the five judges are blushing slightly... yes, it is similar to the blushing when drunk!

And standing in front of them is Ryoko with long wine-red hair, special alcohol-fermented soup, and noodles mixed with a small amount of rice, making the judges enjoy the nerve stimulation brought by alcohol. At the same time, I only feel the warmth in my stomach, and it doesn't bring extra burden...

For the sake of another form of "shame before a snowfall," Yuping Chuangzhen in Division 9 did not choose the same "Yanma King Ramen" as Shiroichiro for the theme of "vegetarian toppings."

You should know that after the two people's "True Father and Son Game", Chuang Zhen humbly asked Joichiro about the method of "Enma King Ramen", but what he made now is the fruity ramen that surprised the judges. !

In the noodles, a small amount of apple cider vinegar is also kneaded, and the soup is also made of fruit...

As if to rectify the name of his "Apple Seasoning"...

In the tenth division, Alice is bringing the "Molecular Cooking" into the "Shadowless Noodle" to the judges!

Before Liu Subaru was in the first round of the autumn trials, after defeating Takumi with an enhanced five-core mooncake, Alice noticed the transparent outer skin of the mooncake.

Although there is no Pleiades Liu who can pull the mixture of flour and sweet potato powder into a transparent state with the feel and control, Alice can do this more conveniently by virtue of "molecular cooking"!

In the soup, Alice uses the decolorized vegetarian material after centrifugal layering, plus edible pearl powder, to make it looks shiny and clear at the same time. At first glance, you can’t see the soup "Crystal Love Ramen"...

This "Sapporo Ramen Contest" has obviously become complicated because of the participation of 99 one-year students from Totsuki Academy!

Dark horses appear frequently in the last nine divisions outside Division One...

However, this is still not enough to steal the limelight from Division 1, especially now... On the 98th, Shiratori Aryu presented his "ramen" to the judges. Many contestants who wanted to take advantage of the reputation of Nitori Ramen couldn’t help but have one after another. Focused on... (to be continued.):
