Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Two hours are up! Miss Erinai and Pleiades Liu have also completed their own works, so the next step is to review and submit!"

In a blink of an eye, two hours have passed, and Liu Subaru and Erina have also completed their "caricature meat".

"First of all, please ask the auditee, Ms. Nakiri Erina, to present your'manga meat'!"

At the announcement of Rei Kawashima, Erina sent five plates of "meat" on a cart to the judging seat...

At this time, there are three judges, all of whom are the academic staff of Yuanyue. They are the director of the Food Management Bureau Hisashi Jingpu, the academic director of French cuisine Chapel, and the fragrance research professor Shiomi Jun of the Spice Research Association!

Three of them are "acquaintances". Among them, Jingpu Jiushang is the director of the Shiji Administration Bureau and a symbol of "justice". The other two Zhong Chapel are powerful lecturers with more prestige among the students, and Xi Jian Run looks small, but it is also an authority on spices...

It is enough for them to judge the increase or decrease in the funding of the research club to ensure fairness.

"Before tasting, I want to confirm, Miss Erina...You are the honorary chief of the Manga Cuisine Research Society, right?"

Jingpu Kushang looked at Erina's cooking, although he was also salivating, but he still did not forget his responsibilities.

Daquan Shizhijin often criticizes Jingpu, thinking that he is not religious enough for "cooking". In the eyes of many gourmets, when delicious dishes are placed in front of them, everything else should be put aside!

In front of delicious cooking, talking about other things is itself disrespect for cooking...

However, Jingpu Jiushang is obviously not such a gourmet. He will not forget his responsibility because of the delicious cuisine in front of his eyes. Therefore, although he is not as good as a professional gourmet in terms of food appreciation, he can still be competent as the director of the Food Bureau !

"Yes, I just founded the'Manga Cooking Research Club' in Romance, and I have already become their honorary leader. Unlike some people, they often join the research club on the spot before eating the halberd!" Said referring to.

Obviously Erina still remembers that at this time last year, Liu Subaru suddenly became the representative of the Gaifang Research Society and the Chanko Hotpot Research Society before eating the halberd. He and Yu Mei and her were involved in the halberd eating...

However, Liu Subaru was aside, but he didn't understand him at all, and he couldn't see the embarrassment at all!

"Ahem, the previous college’s attitude towards the research club has always been a competitive survival of the fittest, that is, using the'Jiji' as a means of war to put the research community on the battlefield and only follow the rules of the'Jiji'. Well...but the current review system is completely different, so there are more restrictive rules. I must confirm that Miss Erina’s cooking can indeed represent the "Manga Cooking Research Society"." Kyungura said seriously. .

"Of course it can represent. In terms of recipe creativity for my'manga meat', the main design is from Saotome Romance. After that, we just made technical fillings!" Erina said.

Jingpu Jiushang nodded, and Xi Jianrun also said: "Director Jingpu, can we start?"

Seeing Xi Jianjun looking eager to wait, exactly like a child before dinner, Ye Shan in the audience could not help but cover his face with a headache...

Erina's "Comic Meat" looks really good. A typical "meat" through the "molar bone" is placed in the middle of the plate, covered with sauce, and the empty space on the plate. Arranged with various decorative vegetables, it looks quite western style!

"It looks very appetizing..."

As the three judges said, they all picked up their knives and forks, and cut a piece of Erinai's "caricature meat" to taste.

From the feel of the fork and knife piercing the steak, you can feel the "soft" texture of the meat!

Originally, although I saw Erina’s "manga meat", it is very complete on the outside, and through the sauce, it looks like this is a real piece of meat, but after all, it is too much like "manga meat." If there is actually no meat of this shape!

Especially the "molar bones" passing through in the middle. At the beginning, everyone saw the turkey leg bones shaved by Erina...

So the judges have always felt that this meat should be something like "steak" or "hamburger meat"!

When talking about steak and hamburger in island countries, it usually refers to "American hamburger", which is a kind of pie-shaped meat-like food made of meat...

And until then, with the knife, everyone found that the texture was completely different from the "burger meat" in the imagination!

If it is a hamburger, it should feel softer, but now the judges feel that what they are cutting is real meat... even near the bones, they can feel the presence of muscles!

Cut a small piece and enter.

All of a sudden, the faces of the three judges were filled with unusual blushes, as if they were... the first time you date your sweetheart?

Liu Subaru somehow got it in his heart. After seeing their expressions, he immediately thought of this metaphor instinctively!

"Beautiful and delicious! The tenderness of'meat' lingers in the mouth... This is definitely the real whole piece of'meat'!"

"It turns out that it is surrounded by fillet steaks taken from sirloin, and sirloin steaks with tender ribs are used as a buffer for the assembly..."

"There is also the position near the bones. The meat taken from the beef ribs and around the beef bones is used! The tender shreds of meat are mixed with a little strong oily tendon!"

“Close to the top that is most likely to attract the attention of diners, what is looming in the sauce is the use of boneless beef short ribs, that is, the meat on both sides of the chest cavity. The beef short ribs with the clearest meat patterns can make the diners visually effective. On the previous page, instinctively thought'this is meat', which fits the theme of today's'comic meat'!

"Wait! This is not a simple piecing together. If these pieces of meat are adjacent to each other, if you don't compare the difference in taste, you can hardly feel that two pieces of meat are joined together..."

Erina heard the words and replied: "It's'transglutaminase,' and it also has the effect of seaweed gum!"

"Transglutaminase? Seaweed gum?" Jing Pu Jiushang asked in doubt.

"Yes, transglutaminase is a relatively common food additive, which can improve the gelling ability and emulsification of protein... And seaweed gum is using'that', the colloid extracted from seaweed can play a role in adhesion ! Of course, at the same time, some seasoning techniques were also used to make the splicing in the taste, which also played an excessive role!"

The "that" Erina said was obviously a large-scale equipment placed next to her cooking table. As for teaching her the technique of "molecular cooking" and how to operate the equipment, Liu Subaru thought about it with earlobes. Know who it is!

And those beef, needless to say, must be A5 grade...

Liu Maoxing glanced silently at the audience, where everyone in the "Pole Star Liao" was located. Among them, Yu Mei turned her head a little, while Alice waved her hand provocatively while still taking advantage of others not paying attention. Making a chun-licking action to Liu Subaru, Liu Subaru flushed and turned his head quickly.

At this moment, Chapel didn't know what he had found. While tasting the "meat pieces" of the steak piece by piece, he frowned and said, "Wait a minute... According to this treatment, it is indeed possible to achieve such an effect. , But...enzymes only work when the steak is still raw, right?"

"Of course." Erina smiled slightly, seeming to have guessed what Chapel had discovered.

If the steak is cooked and the protein has been denatured at high temperature, enzymes and other things will naturally not work...

Shiomi Jun also realized this, and said quickly: "Wait! In other words, are these stitching processes done while the meat is still raw?"

Unidentified audiences off the field were a little puzzled about what the judges were surprised about...

Jingpu Jiushang opened his mouth and said: "But the meat in these parts is just heated to the most suitable heat! The beef short ribs are fully cooked, the filet steak is three to four well cooked, and the sirloin steak is four to five minutes. It’s cooked, the innermost rib-eye steak is six to seven minutes old...This is not something you can do with excellent heat control, right?"

Indeed, various steaks with different suitable heat conditions are already "sticky" together when they are raw. How can they be cooked in the most suitable heat for each?

The innermost rib-eye steak needs a higher heat than the filet and sirloin outside. It can't be done by adjusting the temperature anyway, right?

"It's actually very simple. The judges can take a closer look at one end of the turkey leg..." Erina smiled.

At this time, Chapel was silent, eating almost the entire piece of "comic meat", and picked up the "molar bone" directly after hearing this...

"This is..." Chapel discovered what it looked like, and gently broke it at the end of the bone!

The upper joint part was broken directly, obviously it was broken and then connected.

In the same way, Chapel broke off the other end, raised the middle part of the bone in front of him, and squinted one eye to look at from one end...

"That's it! The bones, including the bone marrow, have been completely hollowed out! Only a thin layer on the outside is left... I'm afraid, there are other special heating equipment that can use this structure, right?" Xia Pell said.

"That's right, I prepared a thin heating tube in advance and put it in the bones, so that the inside and outside can be heated separately, so that the beef short ribs inside are more cooked than the outside meat, which can be done!" Erina said.

Erina’s hand, in the eyes of the judges, was a whimsical idea, but in the eyes of Pleiades Liu, including Alice, Scarlett, and Liu Maoyuan in the audience, they immediately thought of another one. A similar approach...

That is, when I was in Jiuzhaigou, I met Maqin and Uncle Deji’s roasted whole beef using this built-in heating tool!

Although the dishes and tools used are completely different, they are the same in theory.

And Liu Subaru has also discovered at this time that not only at the point of built-in heating, but also in the "meat pieces" made up of several kinds of steaks, each type of steak also has its own seasoning, rather than simply "combining the fried steak to together"!

When the four different flavors lingered in his mouth, Liu Subaru even felt in his heart that he saw four girl manga heroines with completely different image qualities surrounding him...

No wonder the judges will look like that after they taste it!

As for why it tasted?

That's right, Pleiades Liu came here uninvited, and tasted the extra "comic meat" prepared by Erina's cuisine in Taichung!

At this time, Liu Subaru also saw the front row of the auditorium. In the area where the girls of the "Manga Cooking Research Society" were, Saotome wasted a look at herself with pride...

It seems that this "setting" in the recipe is from Saotome's romantic hand.

But at this moment, Liu Subaru Xing hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, causing Saotome to have a bad premonition!

"Huh? How is it possible... This is already a recipe that brings together the wisdom of all of us. I am best at the practice of fantasy cooking, the meat cooking of Yumei-senpai, and the molecular cooking of Alice-senpai...

It was made by Mr. Erina himself. From the taste to the symbolic subtitles, it was perfect. Why could he laugh after he tasted Mr. Erina's "comic meat"?"Saotome questioned romantically.

And Rei Kawashima’s voice also rang at this time: “It seems that the judges are very satisfied with Miss Erina’s'caricature meat'. In a blink of an eye, even Professor Shiomi’s plate has only bones left. ..."

"Hey! Why do you emphasize people? Do you think of me as a kid? Me, I can eat two bowls of rice!" Xi Jianjun muttered uncomfortably.

At the same time, the three judges have also discussed at this time, although they have not tasted Liu Subaru's cuisine, don't forget, their purpose is to review the increase or decrease of the funding for the "Manga Cooking Research Society"!

Soon the three reached an agreement, but they didn't announce it immediately. They had to talk about it after tasting Liu Subaru's cuisine!

Immediately Liu Subaru also sent five pieces of "comic meat", which is obviously larger than Erina's "comic meat", to the judges in a trolley. At the same time, the confident smile on his face made Erina and other women panic. I can’t believe that Liu Subaru is still so confident at this time...

Liu Subaru's "Comic Flesh" is obviously different from Erina's. In addition to the overall size, the appearance is also different. Erina's "Comic Flesh" bones have joints on both sides, while Liu Subaru's is. Only one condyle is exposed.

And there are no other sauces or decorations. Just such a monotonous "manga meat" is placed on a plate, and the meat part should be more "rounded", unlike Erina's "manga meat" which approaches It's flat, so it doesn't look like you can eat with a knife and fork...

"Please take one end of the bone directly, and eat it later!" Liu Subaru said.

When Erina wondered why Pleiades Liu would make such a dish that requires such a rough way of tasting, Pleiades Liu turned to them and said, "Do you know where you lost it? That's the'caricature meat', a symbol of boys' passionate manga. Oh!"
