Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"But... Xuanwei ham can't have such a taste, what exactly did Ah Xing use?" In order to relieve the embarrassment, Liu Subaru turned the topic back to the cooking showdown.

"It's not only the meat quality, but the appearance of the meat inside, not like ham..."

Ham and "ham sausage" are different concepts. Ham is cured and fermented pig hind legs, which can also be said to be "raw", although in theory, as long as the production process is clean and free of bacteria, and the fermentation time Long enough ham can be eaten raw, but this is usually not recommended. This is completely different from ham sausage.

And the ham is the product of air-drying, and even after being cooked, it is not as tough as fresh meat. How could it be like this?

In Chinese cuisine, the original prototype of ham appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It was confirmed that the name of "ham" was in the Song Dynasty, because the local people used salted pig hind legs to sympathize with the army. In consideration of the preservation of army ingredients, it was salted. After it was made, it was hung up and air-dried. After air-drying, the color of the ham was fiery red, so it was named "ham" by the famous general Zongze at the time!

"Yes, and I remember that the ham in Chinese cuisine should not be suitable as a main ingredient, but more as an auxiliary ingredient for seasoning..." Yu Mei frowned and said.

Indeed, most of the hams of Chinese cuisine need to be "salted" many times, even up to seven or eight times, while the Parma and Ibias hams, which are the world’s three largest hams, only need two or three times, so the former will have a stronger taste... …

Therefore, the ham of Chinese cuisine is usually used with other ingredients, such as the "aloe ham and egg" mentioned by Liu Maoyuan, and the "ham cabbage" and "ham tofu" that use ham as a stock ingredient. It can also be used with other ingredients. Fish, vegetables, grains, etc. are steamed together.

And usually when using ham from Chinese cuisine, at least cut the ham into thin slices, or even chop it for use.

Eat directly...the taste is too strong!

But looking at the way the three judges on the judges seat are chewing on Liu Subaru's "comic meat", either this thing is not made of pure ham meat, or their sense of taste has suddenly deteriorated!

"Several judges are..."

"It looks so appetizing!"

"Even Teacher Chapel... my God! Teacher Chapel can actually eat like this!"

"Just looking at it, there is no smell that I can smell, and I actually feel a little hungry..."

"What will it taste like?"

"I care more about its taste..."

That’s right. At this time, all three judges seem to be "carnivores" and bite Liu Subaru's "comic meat". Because of the unique texture of Liu Subaru's "comic meat", the feeling of "biting" is particularly obvious. Going on, it will cause "comic meat" to cause a moving deformation, which is obviously extremely resilient.

In the dining etiquette of French cuisine, it is most taboo to grab things directly with your hands, but at this time Chapel has obviously forgotten this selectively...

"Is it cheese?" Erina said suddenly.

This time, she did not taste the comic meat Liu Subaru left her, but discovered this from some of the “tear” of the judges!

"Yes, it's the'Mozzarella cheese'. I prepared some in the qualifiers of the Ten Best Competition, but it was useless. I didn't expect it to be used this time." Liu Subaru said.

Mozzarella cheese is a mild cheese in Italy and is often used in pizza.

However, in the qualifiers, Liu Subaru was only used in the initial practice recipes, and later replaced with "Mongolian Buttermilk" as the raw material...

This time, because of the need to create a sense of tearing "comic meat", Liu Subaru added the remaining "mozzarella cheese".

"In other words, what you actually used to make'comic meat' is meat...No! It is not'meat' at all, but..."

"I use soy products such as dried tofu, rolled tofu skins, and small pieces of wheat gluten, taro powder, starch... after adding hot melted mozzarella cheese, and mixing it. "Vegetarian meat"!" Liu Subaru said.

"Wait! Don't say'manga meat', this is not'meat' at all, right?" Erina complained.

"No, soy products and gluten are used to make'vegetarian meat', which is used as a substitute for meat, which is very common in Chinese cuisine." Liu Subaru said.

"but……"

"The title is just'comic meat', and it doesn't say'comic animal protein', isn't it? Although the vegetable protein I use is mainly vegetarian meat, as long as it is the same as'comic meat', it feels like'meat'. Right?" Liu Subaru said.

"Give people the feeling of'meat'? Don't tell you that you want to give the judges the feeling of'meat' just by using the appearance of'comic meat'." Erina immediately retorted.

And at this moment, Jingpu Hisao, who happened to eat all of Liu Subaru's "comic meat", said, "No, Miss Erina, it's not like this... Classmate Liu Subaru's comic meat, indeed, gave me'meat. 'Feeling!"

At the same time, both Chapel and Shijianjun obviously agreed...

"What? After all, vegetarian meat is only due to dietary health or economic considerations, so the so-called'substitute' that was born is actually different from the taste and taste of meat? How could it..."

Erina couldn't think of why these three professionals, as professionals, would actually say that "vegetarian meat" has the feeling of "meat"?

"How about trying it yourself?" Liu Subaru said, passing a plate bearing "comic meat" over.

"Taste it! Don't try to deal with the past easily, you know my boss best, don't you?"

Erina actually regretted it...

What is "my head, you know best, right"?Why does it sound like an illusion that he is often "tasted" by him!

And Liu Subaru didn’t know if he didn’t react or if he took advantage of the trend, he responded, “Of course, it’s the same as knowing me...”

The audience on the court is already boiling, even if Liu Subaru is the first place in the top ten, and dares to make such remarks at this time, he still has to bear the anger of a single dog!

"Asshole! What are you talking about? What does it mean to know your own head?"

"Damn... Is it to say that Miss Erina's head has been as long as his head in your time?"

"...Is it that I heard it wrong? It seems to be Miss Erina at first..."

"No! That is an illusion! It must be an illusion!"

After giving him a blushing look, Erina also stretched out his hand to take the "comic meat", bit it down, and tore his head...
