Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Please taste my'marinated fish pizza', I hope it will make everyone like it!" Behind Tian Suohui's "Luoluofang", there is obviously a trace of "ancestral" tension hidden.Δ┡ΔFiction ㄟ

"Pizza with salted fish?"

The five judges looked at it, and it turned out that the filling is mainly lumpy marinated fish, and there are also taro, shiitake mushrooms, burdock, and lotus root as a foil.

"It always feels a bit rustic..." Wade didn't know if he was talking about pizza or a pizza maker.

"But let's try it! I always feel that there is something I miss in it..." Koda said.

I saw the pizza was cut into small pieces with marinated fish, and then tasted.

At the moment of the pizza entrance, the five judges seemed to see a quiet idyllic afternoon, enjoying the afternoon sun with their love, while processing the fish to be marinated.

"This is... Sansho pickled herring and rice bran pickled mackerel, right?"

"The'sweet, sour and salty' pickled herring tastes moderate, and it has a faint scent of sansho leaves, and its own umami taste is perfectly preserved... It is definitely the authentic Fukushima pickled herring with sansho!"

Xiaohui also said at this time: "Yes, this is the herring pickled in my hometown! Because herring is not resistant to storage, there has been a method of pickling herring in Fukushima since ancient times...'Sanjiao pickled herring' is one of them. The representative of, the herring with the head and tail viscera removed is dried, overlapped with sansho leaves, and then marinated with soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and mirin! It can make the herring have three flavors of'sweet, sour and salty'. With the fragrance of wine and the fragrance of sansho leaves, mirin will also preserve the umami of dried herring to the greatest extent!"

Mirin is a kind of rice wine, with glutinous rice as the main material, and the light yellow liquor syrup extruded from the fermented japonica rice rice... But it is usually not consumed directly, but used as a seasoning for cooking.

"There is also this'rice bran pickled mackerel', which is also very'taste of home'!" Mrs. Leonora was holding her face with one hand at this time, with a shy expression on her face. What happened.

"Um... it's the traditional way of marinating mackerel in Fukui Prefecture, using fermented distillers grain rice bran to marinate..."

It is probably the same as the method of pickling saury that Xingping Chuangzhen came up with half a year ago, but because Chuangzhen did not formally enter the finals, he just simulated it by himself!

"Wait, there seems to be something in the smell of cheese...ah! It's the smell of mature sushi!" Koda suddenly reacted.

"Yes, it is indeed the cheese fermented by the lactic acid produced in the fermented crucian carp sushi using the most primitive means!" Tian Suohui said.

As mentioned before, the origin of sushi is a means of preserving fish. At the beginning, the "rice" part must be thrown away.

Later, when the slightly sour rice was eaten with fish, it tasted very good, and sushi became popular.

The most primitive matured sushi is to cut the crucian carp and place it in pieces, then wrap it with rice and seal it...

Since it is to preserve the crucian carp, naturally there is no need to add vinegar to the rice. The reason for the slight sourness is the effect of the natural fermented lactic acid!

Tian Suohui also added this most natural lactic acid to the cheese, which harmonized the overall flavor of the cheese with the marinated fish.

"Huh? This is...ju (ruo)? A whole piece of konjac?" Yuan Guo suddenly surprised.

"Indeed, I discovered just now... This kind of ingredient in the filling is actually konjac, right? And it's not konjac powder... I haven't had the special flavor and texture of the whole piece of konjac for a long time. I tasted it." Xiangtian said.

Konjac, commonly known as konjac, as a plant that balances the body's acidity and alkalinity and possesses natural antibiotics, konjac is considered to be a traditional Chinese medicine with a series of effects such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, detoxifying and reducing swelling, moisturizing the intestines, etc.!

But at the same time, there is one more thing to note, that is, konjac is poisonous...

In ancient Chinese cuisines and medicine, konjac is also called "intestinal sand". The edible rhizome has the highest toxicity, and there are alkaloids that paralyze nerves from the inside out.

It must be treated with alkaline water before it can be used as a food ingredient!

Modern konjac products, such as konjac flour and konjac knot, are made by mixing konjac powder and potato flour.

Using konjac in one piece requires a lot of effort and detoxification...

According to legend, this method of dealing with konjac was discovered by Yan Di’s wife, Ma Po Empress. Later, in order to commemorate Ma Po Empress’s achievements, the ancestors respected him as the "Kitchen God", and the early "Kitchen God" was also a goddess.

"Yeah! Don't worry, this is the konjac that I have soaked in alkaline water. There is no numbing element, and it has the effect of lowering blood pressure, reducing toxins, appetizing and reducing fat... Although cheese is high in fat At the same time, it naturally has probiotics that break down fat, so it will not cause excessive fat intake. However, if you eat too much and then take digestive drugs, it may cause the imbalance of the digestive flora and cause fat. Excessive intake, so..."

The judges seemed to see that the industrious and kind-hearted Mapo was burning konjac and boiled by the bonfire...

"So you want to use a whole piece of konjac to achieve the effect of promoting natural digestion?"

"Yes, indeed... and it doesn't affect the taste of pizza too much." Xiaohui said nervously.

"Don't worry, we have felt your'heart'," Leonora said.

Indeed, from the beginning of the entrance, the judges "see" the countryside and feel the warmth in the afternoon, not just the color and fragrance of the pizza!

But...Cooking Heart!

They clearly felt that Tian Suohui’s marinated fish pizza contained Tian Suohui’s cooking heart-it is a kind of cooking heart that makes "diners" feel warm and peaceful, and can relax...

It can also be said that it is the "source" in the ingredients. It is affected by Tian Suohui's cooking heart, and it becomes a non-material and semi-energy body that will relax the diners' mind and body!

That’s right, compared to six months ago, Tian Suohui’s “cooking mind” only has the ability to diverge and change the “source”, but the intensity is too weak and often ineffective. Now Tian Suohui is already at a certain level. You can master the "cooking heart"!

The judges also gave the final score at this time...

"82 points! The second-year Tian Suohui player showed his ability to advance to the autumn trials last year and temporarily ranked second in Zone B!" Yu Ai announced.

I saw the name of Tian Suohui. Kaori Yamanaka, who passed 79 points, became the second place after Yume Haruki who was 84 points...

"Autumn trials? Is this humble girl so good?"

"Somehow she is a second-year'senior sister'..."

"I always feel that when I see her, the word'Senior Sister' is a bit unspeakable!"

"But it's true that people shouldn't look like..."

It was Kaori Yamanaka who was more "shocked" than the students off the court. Seeing that there was another person on the score screen, he still couldn't believe it.

At this moment, Tian Suohui had already arrived in front of her, "seriously" with both hands, handed out a plate containing a small piece of "pizza with marinated fish".

The posture is like an introverted girl who has gathered courage to hand out a love letter to the boy she likes!

"What do you mean? A mockery of me?" Kaori Yamanaka frowned.

"No... I want classmate Yamanaka to try my'marinated fish pizza' too!"

"Oh? Do you want me to see the gap with you?" Yamanaka said disdainfully.

"It's not like that... It's just..."

"Well, I accept your provocation!"

Yamanaka said, he directly picked up a piece of pizza on the plate that Tian Suohui was holding, and then took a mouthful from the side of the cheese heart, and put the whole slap-sized pizza into his mouth. !

"#%……a%" Yamanaka bulged and didn't know what he was talking about.

It’s just from the look in the eyes that the mountain was obviously unconvinced at first, but somehow behind, the circles of the eyes gradually became red...

"The liar...must be a lie...obviously the same as my'Spirit Cooking'! But...this feeling..." Yamaaka said with a choked voice.

"No! Real cooking can bring happiness to the'diners' and relax the minds of the'diners', rather than controlling the minds of the diners!" Tian Suohui said in a rare "lessons" tone.

Soul cuisine is also the "legacy" of ancient cuisine, to a certain extent it belongs to the branch of "source cuisine", which is similar to the universal "must kill cuisine"...

Although it can't really achieve the effect of "source cooking", the highest goal is to master all the ingredients that stimulate the "emotion" nerves to the fullest extent, and even have a slight effect of stimulating its "source"!

In this way, the purpose of controlling the psychological senses of the diners is achieved.

And some hallucinogenic prohibited ingredients, because it is easier to achieve the effect of the "source" of excitement, so some spiritual cooks will take risks, and therefore make "spiritual cuisine" on a dead end!

Now I have tasted the cuisine that Tian Suohui's true cooking spirit has changed the "source" of the ingredients and achieved a warm purpose, regardless of the impact on the mountain...

In fact, in terms of technology, there is no difference between the two. The real difference is the "mind cooking" for the purpose of control, and there is no requirement for the "heart" of the person who cooks himself.

Seeing this scene, Director Jingpu Jiushang, who was patrolling outside the venue, couldn't help but smile. "Eating halberd" is not only a process of chefs’ culinary trials, but also a process of cooking between chefs. The process of heart collision!

And when Yamanaka received the "education" from Tansuo Megumi here, there was no idleness on the field. In the 6th continuation, many players presented dishes, but the highest of them did not shake the third place of Yamanaka Kaori. , Only Ryoko used the "exclusive secret recipe" of cheese, passed Nao Sadazuka...

It wasn't until Oda Shinna presented his pizza that the game was reached again!

"This is the'Miso Pizza' I made, please use it." Oda Shinna said simply.

"Miso? The color does look a bit monotonous..." Wade muttered to himself.

Indeed, Oda Shinna’s pizza is completely "burnt" in color, which seems to be the effect of the miso-based sauce. I don't know it and thought it was overheated.

Moreover, on the outside, only a slice of toasted heavy flavor can be seen, nothing else.

"Miso pizza...is the sauce made from miso? But...what about the filling? Wait, this is..." Kanda seemed to have discovered something, and immediately moved the knife.

After cutting it open, it suddenly became apparent that this "miso pizza" was not without fillings, but the fillings were whole!

Because the single pizza in front of each judge is about four or five inches, and its filling is only a whole piece of food that is only a circle smaller than the bottom of the cake, so I didn't see it before...

Once you cut it open, you can immediately see that this "pizza" is on the bottom of the cake with a whole piece of grilled pork chop!

"This is... grilled pork chops with miso? Wait... this doesn't seem to be cheese?" Wade said, provoking a layer of "colloid" under the same sticky pork chops.

"Yes, of course, my'Miso Pizza' doesn't contain cheese! Instead, it uses gelatinized thickened white miso sauce, which is used as a fitting between the bottom of the cake and the pork chop!" Oda Shinna said.

At this time, the judges also found that the miso on the top and bottom of the pork chop is completely different. The miso on the side adjacent to the bottom of the cake is as sticky as cheese, which is by no means "thickening".

And unlike the red miso used on the top of the pork chops, the white miso is used in the gel part below, which looks much lighter.

"This is seaweed gel?" Leonora recognized what was used as a thickener.

"Seaweed gel? What is it?" Wade asked.

"A kind of water-soluble jelly extracted from seaweed, a very useful thickener... if used to'thicken', it can indeed achieve such an effect." As the head of Yuanyue International, Leonor Ra still knows the product of molecular cuisine that has been new for a few years.

As an alternative to the more costly gum arabic, seaweed gel can even be used to produce gums. Naturally, as long as the amount is controlled to form a cheese-like stickiness, it is not a problem...

"Miso gel... well, what will it taste like?" Koda said with a slight frown.

At the same time, the five judges also started to cut off a small piece of miso grilled pork chop pizza and put it in their mouths!

Although Oda Nobuna is one of the few shortlisted annual students, the students off the field obviously still remembered what she said at the opening ceremony, especially the first-year students, who became even more mocking at this time...

"What kind of pizza is that? This color makes me lose my appetite!"

"Also grilled pork chops with miso? Don't be embarrassed by taking this kind of lippa thing!"

"Yes, she thought Yuanyue Academy was the place to show this kind of street food?"

I have to say that every freshman is actually the same, there are some very annoying guys!

Of course, this is also because Oda Nobuna's resume is not "beautiful". As a transfer student, Oda Nobuna does not have any resume from a prestigious school, and not everyone knows the name of the cooking family!

At the same time, the "kyogen" at the opening ceremony aroused everyone's dissatisfaction even more.

Miso pork chop is a specialty of Nagoya, Osaka, and Aichi Prefecture, where Nagoya is located, is the former Owari country...

However, as the prefecture of Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya was only a castle town (similar to a suburban settlement) in Owari during the Warring States Period. After the Warring States Period ended, Ieyasu Tokugawa was appointed as the general of the barbarian, and Nagoya City was built here.

Miso cuisine is also one of Nagoya’s gourmet specialties. Miso Ramen, Miso Udon, Miso Pork Chop...

As the first person in the young generation of the Oda family, Oda Shinna's grasp of miso cooking has naturally reached the level of "incisiveness"!

After the seemingly "sticky" miso gel and the whole pork chop were in the mouth, the judges did not feel the greasy taste they imagined.

"This, this taste...like chewing real hot cheese..."

"Moreover, the use of red and white miso has reached a level of complementarity. Whether it is the heavier red miso or the lighter white miso, it has played its due role!"

"The pork chop itself is grilled just right, and the gravy is mixed with miso to create a taste that allows others to eat one bite after another without getting tired of it!"

"More importantly, the bottom of the pancake...Although the stuffing on the top is'monotonous' only pork chops, the bottom of the pancake...wasabi, shredded seaweed, chopped green onion...and this is obviously made of kelp tea noodles! The bottom of the pancake is prepared as a'chazuke rice', with the miso grilled pork cutlet, it feels more authentic than the special miso pork cutlet shop in Nagoya..."

At this moment, the scoreboard of the five judges also showed Oda Shinna's score...

17 points...18 points...17 points...18 points...17 points!

"87 points! The one-year Oda Nobuna scored 87 points! After the previous oil girl Haruki, I temporarily ranked first!" Yu Ai announced.

Some of the two or three-year-olds who were originally "watching theater" began to be anxious. The one-year students who were clearly shortlisted had only three or two big cats and kittens, but they suddenly occupied the top two in Zone B?

But what made them feel a little relieved is that until now, Erina, Teruki Kuga, and Isshiki Hui, these three former ten masters, have just begun to prepare to present dishes!

What makes Erina feel a little awkward is that Nagiri Thistle has been in the special auditorium in Area B. Although there is no communication with Erina, Erina feels palpitations just when he sees him smiling. ...

After Oda Nobuna, Teruki had already presented his own pizza...Wait, is this really pizza?

At first glance, the plate in front of each judge seems to have a big dumpling lying down!

However, if you look closely, it is indeed a "mini" pizza, which is folded in half from the middle, revealing the bottom surface of the bottom of the cake. If you don't pay attention, you will really think it is a big dumpling with a big palm...

And it’s worth noting that there is a layer of red oil on top of the folded pizza!

"Feel the combination of hemp and spicy! This is my masterpiece, red oil pizza!" Jiu I said with confidence.

"..."

"Red Oil Dumplings" used to be the signature brand of the "Chinese Cuisine Research Society" in the era of Jiugo Zhaoji, and "Mapo Tofu", but now "Red Oil Pizza"... (To be continued.)
