Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Italian cuisine In a formal meal, there are "about" four main dishes, the first is the "staple", which may be common Italian dishes such as pasta and pizza, or soup; the second is "main" "Dishes" is the highlight of a meal. It may be meat dishes, fish dishes, or aquatic dishes. The third dish is "salad", usually fruit or ice cream. The most important thing is "dessert". It's just pastries...

The reason why it is said to be "approximately" four dishes is because each part may not have only one. For example, in some more luxurious meals, the "main course" part will have a meat dish and a fish dish.

In addition to the four main dishes, there is often an "appetizer" before the start of a meal.

For example, the "Bull and Fish Shuangpin" tasted by the judges just now belongs to the category of "appetizers".

As an appetizer, the portion of "Bull and Fish Double Combination" is very small, each plate only has four slices of beef and fish...

Although the task of the judges is to "tasting", Carlo has confidence in his cooking. If you don't control the amount, it will be difficult for the judges to review normally... You know that the judges now have to taste every hour." "One meal", although it is just a tasting, it cannot hold up a large amount.

After careful consideration of temperature, cut noodles with knife skills, and sauces, a "bull and fish double fight" with a harmonious taste, which whetted the appetites of the judges, Chef Carlo’s assistant cooks another The plate with only the plate cover was placed in front of each judge, and then the plate cover was removed.

I saw under the cover of the plate, there was a small bowl of golden soup, and three golden ravioli in the soup...

"Next, please taste the first main course'Italian Lobster Wonton Soup'!" Chef Carlo said.

"Italian ravioli" is a kind of small ravioli made with pasta. The "spaghetti" here is not noodles, but the raw material made into spaghetti...

Pasta is a high-gluten flour, added with oil and egg liquid.

Just use egg liquid to make noodles, how difficult it is to "ramen noodles" later, I have mentioned countless times before, but now I use high-gluten flour, adding egg liquid...Even if a small amount of oil is added, it can’t be changed. The fact that this golden dough has very poor plasticity!

Usually at this time, you need special tools, a kind of auxiliary rolling equipment to press into the dough, or slightly sacrifice the taste of the dough and dilute some water in...

But obviously the "All? Blue" team is not so caring for Italian chefs. Even this kind of gadget is ready, and Carlo can't accept it, sacrificing the taste of some ravioli... it's better not to do it!

And Carlo chose to use manual power instead of instruments!

Today, when all kinds of auxiliary equipment "invade" the kitchen, Carlo's basic skills are undoubtedly worthy of his position in the cooking world...

Although using this kind of noodles to roll the skin...no, it should be said that it is "pressing", which is much easier than making noodles, but it also shows its basic skills.

Of course... Originally, Chef Carlo also hoped that this "seeing kung fu" craft could stop Pleiades Liu’s "imitation", because this step was prepared by Pleiades Liu and the others before they entered the stage, so Carlo started from the beginning. At that time, I was also looking forward to how annoyed Liu Subaru would be when he discovered that there was no auxiliary equipment for rolling the skin!

It's a coincidence that when Carlo presented this dish, Liu Subaru also made up the Italian pasta...

Carlo has to admit that Liu Subaru's actions are more swift than him!

Carlo did not even have time to talk to the judges and let them taste for themselves, but looked in the direction of Liu Subaru...

At this moment, Liu Subaru, in the shocked eyes of Chef Carlo and the audience, simply flattened the golden Italian dough, and then used three fingers as the axis to make the dough turn!

Under the action of centrifugation, the dough becomes a dough cake, and then only the thickness of the dough.

The original is faster, more even and... more interesting than Carlo's!

After that, Liu Subaru's wrist and fingers flicked at the same time, causing the huge golden noodles to fly. Because the noodles were thin enough, large enough and still rotating, the noodles fell very slowly.

And Liu Subaru is in this gap, holding a narrow-blade fish-cutting knife in each hand, facing the huge cotton noodles that fall. When the noodles fall on the cooking table, they have been divided into "leftovers" and buckle out. Wonton round dough.

The judges also have a feeling at this time, that is, the "Italian Lobster Chaos Soup" they are tasting, as if they are making it in front of them!

Although the culinary skills of gourmets are definitely not as good as those of real cooks, at this moment they instinctively feel that what Liu Subaru is making is like the bowl of lobster wonton soup in front of them!

Of course, whether their intuition is accurate or not, it will take a while to know...

Italian-style lobster wonton soup, using Boston lobster prepared by the competition, the lobster meat is stuffed, and the lobster shell is boiled. Finally, the cooked Italian-style wonton is mixed with the broth of the lobster shell!

The shell of shrimp and crab contains the umami essence of aquatic cuisine, but it is not so easy to cook soup.

Because of the rich umami taste, there is also a fishy smell accompanying it...

It's like "Taste Sealing Crab Soup", which draws out all the umami and fishy odors in the crab shells, numbing people's taste!

For the soup, it is usually to ensure that the umami taste overshadows the fishy taste, do not use too much other ingredients, at most add a few light fruits and vegetables together...

And Chef Carlo obviously has a greed far beyond the average chef in cooking. He chose to use the existing ingredients to completely detonate and harmonize the umami and fishy smell of lobster!

The taste of Xianchun instantly conquered the taste buds of the judges. Although they knew that there was still a heavy "task" behind them, the judges still wilted once... and drank the soup!

Of course, the only thing that made Carlo feel "fault" is that while the judges were tasting his dishes, although they also had a temporary state of selflessness, the speed of entering the sage mode was obviously too fast!In the second half of the process, the judges were tasting his dishes while watching Liu Subaru...

Although Carlo understands that the reason why the judges looked at Liu Subaru is in the final analysis because of their curiosity about "his cooking", but this kind of thing seems to be acquiesced by the young man who can cook exactly the same as him. It made Carlo feel awkward.

The most awkward thing is that Chef Carlo also has this instinct himself!

Next, the assistant chefs of the "Royal Italian Cuisine Team" presented the "main dishes" to the judges...

It looks like a plate of thinly sliced ​​beef with this white and yellowish "sauce" on it, which is different from the beef in the starter "Bull and Fish Shuangpin", this time it is cooked beef!

"Sauce" can also be more directly translated as "sauce", but it is slightly different from the common "sauce" in Chinese cuisine...

"Sauce" specifically refers to a liquid "sauce" that has no fermentation process. The more common ketchup and salad dressings are made from the appearance and are completely mashed to a semi-liquid level. "Sauce" belongs to "sauce".

"Next is the first'main course', veal..." Chef Carlo said absently.

At this point the cooking has been completed, and he has time to think about other things...such as thinking about a bastard who hit his confidence!

Obviously Liu Subaru also knows what the sauce on his "Veal" is. At this time, he is already using a blender to mince part of the tuna...

Italian-style veal, Carlo uses the spices that can be found in the competition, the cooked beef is perfectly matched, sliced ​​and sprinkled with sauce.

And this sauce is made from the most basic egg yolk liquid as the base, adding olive oil, sugar, lemon juice, onion juice and tuna fish puree!

Once again the beef and tuna meat have completed the intersection.

In the beginning, the appetite of the judges was aroused by the effect of "bottle and fish double fight". Originally, after "tasting" the Italian lobster wonton soup, the appetite weakened a little. At this moment, the sweet and sour fish sauce , And the mellow beef, which not only brought them a completely different taste, but also made them reminisce about the appetite after just tasting the "appetizer"!

Chef Carlo prepared two "main dishes" for this meal. In addition to the meat dishes "Veal", there is also a "tuna in tomato sauce".

Under the rich red soup, there is a piece of thornless tuna...

Tomatoes are the lifeblood of Italian cuisine. The Aldini brothers often use tomato juice skillfully in their cooking, and Chef Carlo has taken the best "stewing" of Italian cuisine to the extreme, so that the taste of tomato soup penetrates In the tuna meat.

And after chewing, the original taste of tuna will radiate from the taste of tomato sauce. It can be said that it has the three flavors of "stewed"...

Then there is a pulp ice cream, using all seasonal fruits provided on the field, as well as milk, aseptic egg liquid, nuts... In addition to the water in the ingredients, no extra drop of water is added.

In the ice cream, you can also taste the pieces of pulp deliberately left behind.

The last one is the classic Italian dessert... Tiramisu!

Although the ingredients provided by the competition include coffee beans, cheese, eggs...but there is no “gelatin” that is essential when making tiramisu, which is a kind of animal bones or fish. The extracted gel.

However, Chef Carlo also has his own method, which is to simply extract collagen from tuna fish gelatin, which is used as the raw material for tiramisu... instead of gelatin, it is mixed with hot cheese.

Carlo also made some adjustments to the other ingredients of tiramisu because of the extra fresh smell.

"Reconciliation" was originally Carlo's specialty. This isinglass version of Tiramisu, under Carlo's conditioning, not only has no sense of contradiction, but also has a first-class flavor...

Whether it is the bitter coffee aroma or isinglass, they all merge into one at this time.

As the finish of a finished Italian meal, it can be considered just right.

In the end, the judges also gave a score of 38.98.

The total score of the team match is 40 points, 38.98 points have surpassed Carlo Carlo, the third day of the "Baixing Sanying Team" scored 38.92 points, is the highest score so far!

If it had been before, Carlo would have been a little proud of knowing this news. He had beaten the old opponent of the "Baixing Sanying Team"...

Even if it is only 0.06 points, it is already commendable among chefs of their level.

But now Chef Carlo was a little distracted when he heard the news, and he was "indifferent" after knowing that.

Of course, the judges also wryly smiled at this, they can naturally see that Carlo is not really "indifferent", but now most of the attention is on the "Germinate team"!

Even though Carlos himself does not admit it, the reason why his team game performance surpasses the old opponents of the "Baixing Sanying Team" is half because of his "deep soup pot" cooking heart's ability to reconcile, in this kind of ingredients, In spice-limited competitions, he played a certain advantage, and the other half was because of Liu Subaru’s motivation...

When a chef, and a successful chef, what will he do when he finds someone is imitating himself?

Of course, I force myself to do better, and see how others imitate...

Because of Liu Subaru, Chef Carlo did not leave immediately after the judging, but stood still at the exit of the contestants and looked at the "Germinate Team"... to be precise, watching Liu Subaru's actions!

But he didn't know his behavior, so Liu Subaru was relieved.

Liu Subaru is really worried that he will leave immediately after the review!

Because the "kitchen in the mirror" of super-visual reproduction is one-off, if you want to use it all the time, you must copy it from time to time.

After Liu Subaru awakens his "super-auditory", even if the cook is not in the cooking state, he can "see" the other party's cooking heart and activate the ability of super-visual reproduction, but after all, the other party must be within the range of his super-visual and super-auditory Just fine...

If Chef Carlo leaves, and he is in danger of running out of cooking, then he will be embarrassed by the time!

Carlo still didn't know that he had accidentally helped Liu Subaru a favor. At this moment, he was standing outside the court and felt more intuitively that the young man in front of him exuded the same cooking spirit as himself!

"Is it the same cooking heart as my'deep soup pot'?"

"No! How could it be so coincidental..."

"His heart should be...copy?"

Just like Liu Subaru's awakening of Super Vision, the people at Yuanyue Hotel had guessed that at this moment, Carlo also mistakenly thought that Liu Subaru's cooking heart was a "copy", and did not realize that he had a kind of sensory ability at this time.

Seeing Liu Subaru's kind of food, completely reproduced his own cooking, Carlo felt as if he was accompanying canines...

Andre, the leader of the "Central Food Team", because at the beginning, like Suwon Tomi and Kan Hyugako, he didn't pay attention to the dishes presented by Chef Carlo, and he didn't want to distinguish the voices in the audience.

Therefore, when looking at Pleiades Liu, Andre just felt that Pleiades Liu’s cooking skills were as exquisite as the rumors, but did not see anything else...

Therefore, in his heart, Andre lamented Liu Subaru's solid foundation and superb cooking skills, but he was also a bit disdainful.

On the contrary, he still laughed at Liu Subaru's "reliance on talents and arrogance" in his heart, and even fell out with other team members under the originally disadvantaged situation.

As for the superb skills?

In Andre’s view, the chefs who are truly at the top of the culinary world are very skilled. The difference between "superb" and "more superb" and "very superb" is not big, and it really draws the "inspiration" for the gap!

Of course, they don’t need inspiration, because they are using the inspiration of naginata thistle...

If Pleiades Liu pays attention to them, he will find that each of them now possesses a part of the "demon", just like the group of four in the central food organization of Yuanyue Academy.

The so-called "inspiration" refers not only to the overall inspiration for the recipe, but also to the details, every time a knife is swung, every time a fire is controlled... the almost intuitive judgment required!

That's right, that is the essence...

However, after Liu Subaru now launches the absolute copy of "Super Vision", he can temporarily copy the essence of the opponent!

The only flaw in the original copy is the strength of the copied kitchen heart, which also depends on Liu Subaru's will. It can be regarded as a “super-visual” copy, a “mold” of the kitchen heart, and you need to fill it with will... …

But now it’s not a problem anymore. Pleiades Liu hasn’t used the "Mirror in the Kitchen Heart" for a long time. It was only during the experiment a few days ago that he discovered that the "sun"'s ability to absorb solar energy can not only be used by the Sun Kitchen Heart, but also can play a role. The role of solar panels.

Pour the absorbed energy into the "mold" until it is full!

Therefore, no matter how big the kitchen heart mold Liu Maoxing copied, he can fully use its power...

The only problem that may arise is that the "Cooking Heart in the Mirror" is after all a mirror image, but because Chef Carlo is very cooperative, he stays on the sidelines, so Liu Subaru's only worries are gone!

Carlo was working with five people before, but they had time to wait for each other, and then deducted the time to negotiate recipes and assign tasks... The real use of "120 minutes" was only about 85 to 90 minutes, and one A small part of the time is spent on the "decoration" step. Carlo still has some time because he is waiting for the results of the shallow processing, so he is not always at full speed...

In addition to the initial deduction and the division of cooking zones, Liu Subaru's use of time reached 100% in the next 110 minutes!

In addition to his own efficiency, Pleiades Liu crushed Carlo and four chefs. Therefore, Pleiades Liu, who has been "dancing in the air", finally finished all the dishes two minutes before six...

With the sound of the bell at six o'clock, the voice of the emcee of the team game rang: "It's time for'Germinate team' to cook! Please'Germinate team', start to present the dishes..."

She also doesn't know who is the chef and who is the chef in the structure of the "Germinate team", so the "Germinate team" is used to refer to all the members!

Liu Subaru turned his head and exchanged glances with the other four, and then nodded to each other.

Liu Maoxing was the first to go up and personally served five sets of "Bull and Fish Double Fight" for the five judges...

In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, the judges coughed and asked, "Ahem, what is this dish of Pleiades Liu?"

"As you can see...this is'Bull and Fish Double Fight'."

"..."

What the hell is Niuyu Shuangpin?Is it a famous dish?Why is it supposed to look like "Bull and Fish Double Fight"!Can't we take individual names?

"Well, the name is actually not important. Let's taste it first." Another judge couldn't help but said.

From the appearance, they even felt that even the shape of the sauce on the beef slices was exactly the same as Carlo's "Bull and Fish Double Combination" before. However, in the minds of the judges, they still don't think that Liu Subaru needs only a look, and Just watch half of the cooking process and imitate Chef Carlo's cooking!

You know, Chef Carlo is one of the closest chefs to the bosses who come to cooking organizations...

However, just after the entrance of "Bull and Fish Double Fighting", the judges finally discovered that sometimes perceptual intuition is more reliable than rationality!

Exactly the same!

As a first-class gourmet, their recognition of cuisine is undoubtedly extremely accurate...

First-class gourmets, even for exactly the same recipes, can tell the difference if they are made by different people.

The most basic thing is to ask two familiar cooks to cook with the same recipes. Only when they are distinguished can they have the foundation to set foot in a first-class gourmet!

But now... they even have a feeling of going back in time and tasting Chef Carlo's cooking themselves!

The temperature, the texture of the noodles, the sauce... all the same!

"The following is the first'staple' of the dinner, Italian lobster wonton soup..."

Liu Subaru said that he brought up the five plates with the cover of the plate. After the judges uncovered the cover of the plate by themselves, they found that there were golden soup and golden ravioli underneath...

Well, because Chef Carlo prepared the smallest portion before, and now Pleiades Liu is also the same, the two people do not add up to a normal portion, so the judges have not tasted enough before, and now they can't help but look forward to it.

After the ravioli and the soup were imported, the judges realized again...it was exactly the same!

If this is not the "All? Blue" arena, and if you have seen Liu Subaru's cooking process with your own eyes before, the five judges even suspect that they have been tricked... Isn't this all done by Carlo?

Italian veal, tuna in tomato sauce, fruit juice ice cream, isinglass tiramis...

Less than an hour ago, the dishes that the judges had just tasted were repeated again...

Although the judges have not given a comment yet, looking at their expressions, Chef Carlo on the side can guess the effect!

It was just a strong hunch before, at this moment... it seems to have become a reality!

"Andre! What are you doing?" Some discordant voices came from the central food team.

Seeing dumbfounded Andre, accidentally used the liquid egg yolk as liquid egg white!

Low-level mistake...

Fortunately, Andre didn't lose his mind. Although he hadn't carefully read the dishes presented by Chef Carlo, he at least heard the name.

After Liu Subaru presented two or three dishes, Andre finally understood that the shouts from the audience were not booing...

And in the conference room on the top floor of the headquarters of the "American Development Council", Nagaki Thistle had previously felt bad when he saw Liu Subaru's cooking process during the broadcast, and when he saw the look of the judges, his face was already cold, until now" The Central Food Team had another accident and needed to cook a new dish or change the overall recipe.

Don't think about the latter. The people of the "Central Food Team" don't have much self-judgment ability. It is the result of the possibility that Naginaki thistle will be taught all the exam questions!

Seeing the appearance of Naginaki thistle, even his confidant, Ruishan Zhijin, sat aside and dared not speak out first.

Naginari thistle finally couldn't help but said, "Well, I'm here for today... let's end the meeting!"

After that, I turned off the TV and I was the first to go out...
