Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Matsutake should have been boiled for a long time. The'meat' is full of soup, and it even feels like soup splashes in the mouth..."

"The white radish is still crispy, it should be the same as the'ramen', after being cooked in light salt water, it has just been put on the brazier and soaked in the soup!"

"Just a bite of Brussels sprouts, filled with soup between the leaves, and cooked just right..."

"Unexpectedly, we can handle such a large piece of kelp head in such a proper way. It does not have the original jerky taste of kelp head, and it still maintains the chewy texture."

"Wait, don't keep your attention on the'toppings'. These five kinds of noodles are not just embellishments!"

"Yes, soft thin noodles, thick wide noodles... and this chewy, spaghetti?"

"Well, there is also this white, slippery appearance. It is not the udon noodles you imagined at the beginning, but'rice noodles'! A Chinese flavor snack made from fermented rice..."

There are roughly two types of rice noodles. One is more retro. It is made from fermented rice. Because it has undergone fermentation, it will have a slightly sour taste. Therefore, it is called "Physalis rice noodles". The rice is ground directly and then pressed by a machine, which is called "dry rice noodles."

In contrast, the former has the unique fragrance of rice, smooth and refreshing, but because it takes time to make, many fast-food rice noodle shops use dried rice noodles... even many dry rice noodles are not counted, but "Rice noodles" with potato flour and sweet potato flour...

Of course, what Erina uses are naturally "physalis rice noodles."

The five judges instantly turned the style of the "Ramen Contest" into a skewered skewer assembly. They ate and chewed horizontally. After a while, there was only one stick left in their hands...

I have to say that this form is very conducive to eating. Each piece is a bite, and each has a different taste and texture, which attracts diners to eat!

For Erina’s “root” ramen, five types of “ramen” and six types of “toppings” were cooked separately before. After all, they require different heat conditions.

For example, Matsutake has been cooked for a long time, while the white radish is just blanched...

After that, the processed "ramen" and "toppings" are alternately stringed together and placed in the final broth.

In this way, it is not only convenient for the separate cooking of the ingredients, but also avoids all being mixed together. When diners taste it, there will be different tastes of ingredients that are mixed together...

"That's it, because each kind of'ramen' and'toppings' has a unique taste, so is it called'mantianxing ramen'?"

"Worthy of being the owner of the tongue of God..."

"Is this the strength of Yuanyue Shijie? I can't imagine that the chef who makes this kind of'ramen' is only 16 years old and is not a professional ramen chef!"

"It seems that the result is already obvious and easy to see... Unfortunately it's just a preliminary match, and we can't give you specific points other than'pass'!"

"Competition No. 1, Contestant No. 99 Nagiri Erina, pass!"

"It's a pity indeed. If there are scores, now a guy with ramen in his head will have a wonderful expression... Oh, yes! If you just test your own cooking skills, you don't have much confidence in the first place? I just want to try the secret recipe handed down from the family. If it happens to be able to beat me, I will make a lot of money..." Erina looked like a female version of Long Aotian.

Shiratori Ayame, Erina’s main "attack target", was only a normal level of discomfort. He spread his teeth and danced his claws and said "make her look good", while the other players who lay guns seemed to have been stepped on. Just like being careful, I immediately became excited...

Of course, Erina directly ignored the clamor of other players with a "queen face".

When Liu Subaru saw this scene, he couldn't help but understand, probably because Shiratorichangpu was confident in himself.

Seeing the other contestants, the sentiment was already enthusiastic, and the judges couldn't help but change the topic: "Cough cough cough, let's ask contestant No. 100 to present the ramen!"

Pleiades Liu is also ready at this time, his is the real "raised" noodles. When Erina presented the dishes, Pleiades Liu had already started to work, knocking the dough that had been left to rest on the outer layer of dried noodles. Peel off the pieces, tear the lotus leaf inside, take out the dough inside, and then shake the lotus petals on it.

After gently rubbing it a few times, it was "pulled", and it was stretched more than 30 times, making the noodles as thin as hair. After that, it was fried in a frying pan heated at 100 degrees and gently fried The short stick, mixed a few times in it, when it was pulled out, the hair-like dragon's beard noodles were already stiff...

After that, let the dragon beard noodles over water, put them in a bowl, pour the already prepared soup, and put on the fish-shaped "small snacks" and pickled bamboo shoots as toppings!

The judges couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Liu Subaru Xing, who was serving "normal" ramen.

They were really worried just now that Liu Subaru would serve something that they didn’t know so-called...

However, although Liu Subaru brought up the ramen, which seemed to be normal, it still made them feel a sense of disharmony!

"Is the topping on this'taiyaki'?" Asai asked, he always thought the taiyaki was a little weird.

Taiyaki is a kind of folk snack in the island country. It is usually made of flour, sugar, milk and baking soda and placed in a mold to make a sea bream shape. Most of them will have red bean filling, and some will have egg yolk filling and black sesame seeds. Stuffing and so on.

Liu Subaru said at this time: "No, I carved it out of carp! And the raw materials are a little different from the taiyaki. Milk and cream are not used."

Asai nodded clearly, and finally realized that what he had always felt wrong was the shape of taiyaki, but the sense of disobedience was still there...

"Why did you think of making it into a carp?" another judge wondered.

"Because of my ramen, I named it'Guanyin sitting lotus noodles'! Guanyin is easier to associate with basket Guanyin and carp?"

"Avalokitesvara... sitting lotus... noodles? Well, is it a mystery or a veritable name? Let us try it!" Asai said.

"Wait... the temperature of this noodle... is this cold noodle?"

Finally, some judges reacted, knowing that the sense of violation just now is like this, this bowl of noodles has already arrived in front of them, but they still can't see any heat!

The five judges looked at each other and experienced the excitement of the "Vegetarian Soup Meat Noodles" and the "Gypsophila Noodles". It seems that the cold noodles are no longer able to surprise them!

When I put the chopsticks, the first thing I discovered was that the noodles of the "Guanyin sitting on lotus noodles" were as thin as hair...

"This is... Dragon Beard Noodles? And looking at this kind of toughness, it is still real dragon Beard noodles, not the stuff suppressed by the machines in the factory!"

"Yes, and the slenderness of this noodle is far better than the general so-called'dragon beard noodle' which is just thin noodles. It is hard to imagine that the chef who pulls out this noodle is only sixteen years old. And he is not a professional ramen..."

"That's not necessarily true. Player Liu Subaru has won the seafood pastry contest before. Maybe... he is the main player in the pastry!"

"Because it is at a low temperature, the dragon's beard noodles actually have a feeling of'vigorous'! It coexists with this soft taste...the dragon's beard noodles are also top-grade, and they have a slight appetite-stimulating fruit. The sour taste... is it because of the addition of grapefruit juice?"

"The soup is also sweet and sour. Is this... a blend of mango, grapefruit and coconut milk?"

"Wait! There is another looming flavor!"

"Yes, did you taste it? It echoes between your lips and teeth, but it's not easy to catch..."

The moment the judges tasted it, they felt that they were wrapped up in clusters of flowers, and there was a relaxed expression on their faces as if they were on vacation, not as if they were sitting on the judges' bench.

And along with the sweet and sour fruity flavor and soft taste, they still felt faintly, a fragrance hidden in the flowers, I don't know when it was hidden between their mouths...

"It's a lotus! It's the fragrance of a lotus. After kneading the noodles, it feels like it has been standing still with lotus and lotus leaves for a long time... But in the game, time should not meet the conditions." Dojima Gin was first determined. The source of this faint fragrance.

"Yes, it was after kneading the noodles that the noodles and lotus petals were wrapped together with lotus leaves, because there was another layer on the outside, which completely sealed the lotus leaves and the inner dough, and in the outer dough, I sprinkled some yeast again, so that the closed dough is also fermenting and heating up, speeding up the flavor of the lotus leaf in the dough!" Liu Subaru explained.

Some of the ideas of this dragon beard noodles are also inspired by the "peerless beauty noodles"...

In the era of China, "Liu Subaru Star" and Lan Feihong participated in the special chef selection contest, and the pre-selected topic was "No two-faced national scholars".

At that time, "Liu Subaru Star" made a water-free kneaded soda noodles, with the strong taste of noodles, and conquered the judges. The implied meaning is "the reason why Guo Shi Wushuang is unparalleled is because of his own strength." The surface of the water can best reflect the high quality of the noodle itself, without relying on the soup or toppings...

However, Lan Feihong made a sweet and sour dragon beard noodles, with the fragrance of lotus hidden in the noodles!

It feels "feminine in the female", although it is delicious, but there is no spirit of noodles, but Lan Feihong explained that his noodles are "peerless beauty noodles"!

Since ancient times, people have often praised newlyweds. The husband is "Guo Shi Wushuang" and his wife is "Peerless Beauty", which means that Guo Shi Wushuang and Peerless Beauty are two in one. In the end, the examiner also gave a "pass" evaluation...

And Liu Maoxing's "Guanyin sitting on lotus noodles" is more improved on the basis of "peerless beauty noodles"!

A small amount of grapefruit juice is added to the water for making noodles. This is what I learned from Joichiro’s "Yanma King Ramen"...

"That's it! In the soup base, the juice of mango, orange, strawberry and other woody fruits should be used to refer to "poplar twigs", and the coconut juice as the main ingredient of the soup base is naturally " "Nectar"! That's why it is called'Guanyin sitting on lotus noodles'?"

"By the way! There are also dim sum like'carp' on it, pickled bamboo shoots...carp and bamboo, you can also think of Guanyin."

"But it's not just a moral! I have to confirm the taste of these toppings!" Asai said.

Liu Maoxing continued to look at him with a smile, and the judges all tasted the "carp roast" and bamboo shoots...

As soon as one bite went down, the five judges couldn't help but their expressions stagnated. After a full pause of two or three seconds, they suddenly started to continue their actions!

I saw that the actions of the five judges were exactly the same, that is, to put down the remaining half of the "koi yaki", and then suddenly sucked a bite of the dragon beard noodles, and then put the remaining half of the "koi yaki" into the mouth again in……

Careful people have already seen it, and it is still steaming in the "Carp Yaki"!

Although the ramen and soup parts of "Kwanyin Zaitianmen" are cold, the "Kiyuyaki" as a topping is actually not in the pot soon?

"Huh? Is it spicy? Why do the judges suddenly have an appetite?" Changpu wondered.

"Huh! Want to know? It's not easy..." Erina glanced at her next to her.

"Don't you know?"

Erinai silently walked to Liu Subaru's cooking station, and then took out a few leftover "koi fish" from the oven.

Given her relationship with Liu Subaru, she naturally wouldn't avoid anything.

It only has a rough shape and has not been carved yet, but the taste obviously won't make any difference!

Changpu couldn't help but curl his mouth for a while, expressing speechlessness to Erina's simple and straightforward way of distinguishing...

However, when Erina broke the "carp yaki" apart, he still looked curiously...

Erina tasted a little bit from the fracture, and her complexion became stiff, then her face turned reddishly and said, "Ginger juice, pepper, minced garlic...This looks like a dessert'carp fried', but spicy. Tasteful! And it goes very well with the real "dessert" dragon beard noodles!"

"Bamboo shoots are also the result of salty pickling. The taste... how do you say it! At first glance, salty and spicy things don’t seem to match the sweet and sour, sweet-sweet noodles, but in fact, as long as the taste is affected by this spicy and salty With the stimulus of the taste, I will naturally think of the dragon beard noodles below... this should be an effect that only me and him can achieve!" Erina said.

Indeed, this requires an extraordinary ability to analyze taste. Probably only Erina and Pleiades Liu, who have super taste, can construct cuisine from this level!

Even if the other people's cooking skills are higher than the two of them, they are destined to not be able to stand at such a height. It is just an innate gap...

"Hey, it's really proud to say that only you and him can do it...Wait, should I praise you? Anyway, now I know how to compare myself with other people, instead of being totally exclusive." Changpu curled his mouth and said.

The judges have also announced at this time: "Competitor No. 100 Liu Subaru, Contestant No. 100, pass!"

At the same time, the preliminaries of the second division have also ended. There is a far-month student in the division. Unfortunately, he failed to pass. He failed to enter the finals and also failed to pass the "grade assessment."

But the good news is that the other students in the second division all passed the preliminaries...

Many people are still thanking Itake Jun, but Itake Jun, who has always been dull, is obviously not suitable for this kind of thing. He just stood there silently, nodding from time to time...

Those who thank him are all players who passed the preliminaries after him.

The reason is simple. Nao Sadazuka's number is still before Itake Tsunami, and her "smelly stinky ramen", when she passed the preliminaries, also caused trouble to the next two players. The judges eat everything. Smelly!And I haven’t had the smelly smell when I tasted “Smelly Ramen” before...

The smelly ramen is made with natto and houttuynia as the main ingredients. The smelly broth is hung out, and it is topped with "stinky tofu"...

Pleiades Liu also taught her how to ferment mung beans and skim the soy juice last night, so that Zhenzhong went further and used a fermented substance similar to soy juice as the original soup base!

Although Sadazuka's personality has become less gloomy than before, her cooking habit of obsessing with addictive ingredients has been fixed.

In the end, the judges gave her a "pass" result with unwilling eyes, but a strange smell persisted on the court and on the taste cells of the judges!

Fortunately, after only two people were separated, I arrived at Ibuzaki to present the ramen...

Ibusaki’s "smoked noodles" are all smoked from the ramen itself to the dried tofu, vegetarian chicken, and dried bamboo shoots as toppings, and they are all smoked with salt.

This broke through the effect of "Smelly Smelly Ramen" and made the judges give a "pass" evaluation. At the same time, it also weakened the curse-like effect of "Smelly Ramen" a lot, and then some people began to "pass"!

To some extent, this is also an explanation for "salt can ward off evil spirits"...

In Division 3, Ye Shanliang made the onion ramen that made the judges "tearful"!

Note that this is a declarative sentence!

The five judges cried after tasting, but this onion ramen was the most they ate...

When kneading the noodles, a large amount of onion juice was added, and the mushroom broth that looked clear and bottomless was used to construct a soup base that could contain this "terrible noodle".

When Hayama Liang usually cooks, he is best at dealing with some of the most flavorful or special ingredients, because his mastery of spices can balance these special flavors...

Now he is asked to make "ramen." As the main body of the ramen itself, it can be said that the taste is controllable. So his "tactic" is very simple, that is, to create the most exciting ramen, and then use it by himself Master the essence of spice, come and control it!

As for the outcome of Ryo Kurokiba and Ryo Hayama, the judges did not give an answer, so Kurokiba was almost disqualified because of a conflict with the judges!

Fortunately, at a critical moment, his turban fell off...

After Liu Subaru and Erina came out of Division One and joined the students from each division, it was counted that a total of twelve students were eliminated...

This also means that their grade assessment can only end with "fail."

Pleiades Liu also said that the twelve students who were eliminated, whether they joined the Chinese Cuisine Research Society as a kitchen worker on campus, or joined the Yuanyue Hotel as a kitchen worker, can be given "priority" continued training, but it depends on them whether they accept it or not. My own choice.

At the same time, Liu Subaru also announced a good news for other students!

"The subject of the third assessment has come out, and that is... Do your best to participate in the final!" Liu Subaru said.

"what?"

"What? The final?"

"How could we... wait, what I just said was..."

"Try your best? How can it be considered to be doing your best?"

After the students complained instinctively, they couldn't help but become confused.

"It's very simple, you can feel that you've done your best...Of course, if someone is obviously relaxed, I will directly deny his own hallucinations!"

After listening to Liu Subaru's words, the remaining 80 or so students were stunned at first, then suddenly reacted, and many of them couldn't help but cheer.

Yes, to a certain extent, their "grade assessment" has already passed, and what they need to do afterwards is just don't slacken their efforts...

The questions of the third round of assessment are naturally the result of the changes.

The reason is very simple, because according to Yuanyue’s college plan, the winter vacation will begin in three days, and the finals after three days can not participate, so the third round of assessment was cancelled...

Of course, during these three days, it is impossible for anyone to slack off, because for ordinary students, they must implement the things that have passed the assessment, and for a small number of top students, they have to make a point in the finals. Compete, even target the champion! (To be continued.)
