Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

In Liu Maoxing’s speculation on Lin Yi and the creation and improvement of his own recipes, a week passed in a blink of an eye and it was Saturday. Although Liu Maoxing did not go to the scene to prevent accidents, but this time he couldn’t help but open it. TV!

After enduring the "long" opening remarks that the emcee seemed to Liu Subaru, I finally saw the lineup of both sides.

Sure enough, Erina "willfully" chose "the past" as the topic of his battle.

On the side of the American Development Council, it is indeed the Naginari thistle standing opposite the restaurant entitled "Past"!

At the same time, Liu Subaru was surprised that in the three individual matches, Seto Hiromi of the "Seed Team" actually did not participate... In the "Future" one, it was Alice who stood.

"In the future...is it because of'molecular cuisine'? But Alice is still a bit too immature, right?" Liu Subaru murmured suspiciously.

It can indeed be seen that in the cooking field entitled "Future", the cooking table on the side of the "Seed Team" has been surrounded by various rare (bu) strange (ming) ancient (jue) and strange (li) equipment.

However, the situation of the "future" group only made Liu Subaru curious, but he should not worry about it. As for the "past" group, because it was broadcast on TV, Liu Subaru did not see anything abnormal. He could only speculate that the "dark cooking showdown" should It's already started.

Because the voice of not knowing what to say keeps ringing, it makes me even more upset, and the director who always switches the camera, Liu Maoxing simply went to the Internet to find it, and there is a website that really specializes in broadcasting fixed perspectives, based on Liu Maoxing’s current cooking You don’t need to listen to the commentary because of your attainments. I specifically looked for the live broadcast of the "past" cooking field and watched it...

"En? The ingredients of thistle are...eggplant, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, garlic, onions...In addition to common spices, there are also rosemary, oregano, thyme and herbs... It's so vegetarian, wait! Why is there a vaguely familiar feeling?"

Although the angle of the live broadcast is not good, as long as the ingredients and spices appear on the screen, Liu Subaru can judge the type by just a little bit of sight.

At the same time, you can also see the malicious expression of Naginaki thistle...

Liu Subaru even felt that, including the current Naginaki thistle, and Paul when he was confronting him before, the reason why they looked at the confrontation was not suspected, and it should be because the "curse" had an impact on others.

Although you need to be careful when cooking, the whole process is blank or evil, which is a bit of a violation.

The ingredients that can be seen here at Erina are eggs, flour, oats, milk, Parma ham, duck, lemon, and there are many special spices. The more eye-catching is tarragon...

Looking at the ingredients and preparations of Naginata thistle, Liu Subaru frowned, as if he had realized something.

"Sure enough... the visual judgment alone may not be accurate, but the vanilla should be the vanilla from Provence, and there are other ingredients... Although there are minor differences, but in general... what is he thinking? Although listening to the painting Rina mentioned it once. It was the first dish in her memory that Naakiri Thistle made by herself and let her taste. It was also the dish that was suspected of causing Linger to be suppressed by the parasitic'devil', but...obviously not Is it suitable to be used in the competition at this time?" Liu Subaru couldn't help but wonder.

That's right, Liu Subaru guessed what Nazuchi wanted to do...

Provence stew!

A dish made by simmering several kinds of fruits and vegetables together. It was originally a local cuisine in the Provence region of France, but after generations of improvements, it is now a famous French dish...

Previously from the cooking of the chefs of the "central food organization" and the advocacy of Nagaki thistle in Yuanyue Academy, Liu Subaru vaguely realized that his definition of "feed" was not divided by the quality of the ingredients. No matter what ingredients are used, they are "feed".

Liu Subaru believes that this famous French dish derived from local cuisine can shine in different brilliance in the hands of Naruto thistle, but still does not think this kind of cuisine is "suitable" for use in competitions!

Provence stew, also known as "Provence stew" in Chinese...

The production process is very similar to that of the Northeast Random Stew. Although the ingredients and spices are different, they are all a kind of dish that uses a large number of "messy" ingredients first and then stewed.

The wide variety of ingredients means that the taste will be very "messy". Although this kind of "messy" cannot be simply defined as "unpalatable", it is definitely a deduction item when used in the competition!

It's just like the reason why the Sumo wrestler hot pot prepared by the "Sumo Hot Pot Research Society" was classified as "unsuitable for eating halberds" by Liu Maoxing...

As for the naginari thistle that allowed Erina to taste this dish, it was difficult for him to force Erina, who was only five years old, to distinguish the flavor composition of "chaotic stew"!

If you can't distinguish successfully, you will be locked in a small dark room that no one can approach, and you can come out again after the resolution is complete...

At that time, Erina was still young, and such "messy" cooking... Listening to Erina said that she was detained for two days before she could fully distinguish it.

During these two days, she spent most of the time crying.

This also constitutes one of the main events of Erina's fear of the "little black house"!

Purely from the perspective of hitting Erina, Nagiri Thistle chose this dish the right choice, "right" to the point where Liu Subaru was born and ran to the court to give him a punch.

Indeed, Erina also saw something, her expression changed a bit, as if she was suppressing instinctive fear...

But from the perspective of the competition, Liu Subaru still doesn't think this is a good choice!

Whether it's the original intention of Nakiri thistle or the reason for the "curse", it should make him value the victory very much. There is no reason not to go all out. Is it to rely on the spirit of attacking Erina to win?

Protecting the "fake jade dragon pot" from being discovered, consolidating one's position in the American Development Council, and the influence of the "curse"... Naginari thistle has too many reasons to long for this victory.

And the style of Provence stew, no matter how delicious it is, it doesn’t fit the tall image that Naginata thistle needs to promote for itself, right?

In terms of visual effects, "random stew"-style cuisine does not take advantage of it!

The opponent chose "Provence stew" at this time, which is incomprehensible to Liu Subaru.

At the same time, the kitchen utensils prepared by Naginata cut thistle also attracted Liu Subaru's attention...

"Is that a charcoal grill? What is it for..."

This doubt was quickly answered. I saw that the red pepper was first put on a charcoal fired oven, and the various spices and herbs were distracted and weighed until the surface of the red pepper. It had been burned, and then it was taken down.

Liu Subaru knows the unique flavor of the smoked red pepper, but this flavor... it cannot be maintained in the stew.

When "simmering", the smoky flavor will definitely be concealed, and on the contrary, the originally mixed flavor of the stew becomes even more weird...

While the next movement of Nagachiji made Liu Subaru even more strange, he couldn't help but have some guesses.

Peel off the scorched red pepper, and the meat part of the pepper inside, without any burnt marks, then dice the red pepper meat, add it to the sauteed onions and garlic, and add the same cut into pieces. The small diced tomatoes, as well as the spices and herbs prepared earlier, are boiled in a pot...

No extra water is added, just boil with the water in the tomatoes and bell peppers!

"Is this making the sauce?" Liu Subaru's brows wrinkled more and more, and he seemed to have understood what some naginata thistle was going to do.

While making the sauce, Naginata cut thistle and cut other ingredients into round slices. It is slightly different from the common "Provençal stew" that Liu Subaru knows. There is no zucchini, but there are more pumpkin, lettuce and potatoes... …

Zucchini is also called "Xiaogua" and "Ziangua" in Chinese cuisine. It is a variant of pumpkin and is not as sweet as pumpkin.

Lettuce, to be precise, should be called "stalk lettuce", usually everyone said "lettuce" belongs to this category, as the name suggests, stem lettuce is usually the part that eats its "stem", and the corresponding is "leaf lettuce" ", but generally people call it "lettuce" in Chinese. Lettuce only refers to "stem lettuce." Which restaurant uses lettuce as lettuce must be smashed by someone...

Although lettuce is native to the Mediterranean coast and bordered by the Mediterranean in the south, lettuce is naturally grown in France, but in Provence stews, lettuce is usually not added.

Needless to say, potatoes, the scientific name potato, originated from South America, was introduced to Western and Chinese cuisines about 600 years ago, and quickly became one of the staple foods of Western cuisines, but usually because of the different maturity period. Potatoes are added to Provence stew, but there is a special "Provence stew potatoes".

Obviously, pumpkins that are larger than other ingredients are cut into small pieces with a knife. The smaller lettuce is sliced ​​sideways and has a large area. In the end, the "pieces" of several ingredients are almost uniform in size and shape.

Because it was a television broadcast, Liu Subaru could not see the "Feng Ruiwen" in the "Ling Zang Library" in the TV signal, but he could guess that it must have worked!

From the point of view of the "Ling Zangku", "Provence stew" is quite appropriate.

After "Lingzangku" becomes a cursed kitchenware, the corresponding ingredients that are cursed objects can be said to be the most or the least...

It is effective for all ingredients, but almost all ingredients can prevent it from taking effect...

As a cursed kitchenware, Lingzangku is not that human beings are allergic to certain ingredients, but that they have greatly reduced the shelf life of all ingredients!

Its normal function, when only its body is used, is equivalent to a portable perpetual refrigerator, and if its full effect is stimulated, the ingredients can be fixed in a time state...

As a local cuisine, "Provence stew" was originally the product of a variety of vegetables that they had just picked together during the harvest season.

It is conceivable that the "Ling Treasure Library" may have fixed the used vegetables in the state just after picking, as if there is no storage process!

The sauce has finally been boiled to the point where the moisture has dried up. The naginata thistle does not seem to be "stewed" at all. Instead, it takes five small iron plates and spreads the sauce evenly on the small iron plates. Then, slices of oval-shaped eggplant slices, pumpkin slices, lettuce slices, tomato slices, potato slices of uniform size are placed on a small iron plate covered with sauce at regular intervals and overlapping each other.

It looks like a colorful swirling lollipop!

Sure enough, I didn't mean to stew, but I chose to directly put five iron plates on the tin foil and put them in the oven...

"That's it!" Liu Subaru said to himself.

Naginata thistle is a "Provence stew" that has been changed into a baked dish!

Therefore, in terms of image and taste, the chaos of Provence stew has been perfectly overcome...

In the middle of the naginata cut thistle, the temperature of the oven was adjusted and the tin foil was removed. When it was finished, you could see plates of gorgeous "Provence stew"...No, it should be said that it was "Provence grilled dishes", submit In front of the judges.

Pieces of colorful, neatly arranged roasted melons and fruits slices, blooming charming brilliance in the steaming smoky sauce.

When the judges saw the colorful grilled dishes in the small plate in front of them, they also showed enthusiastic expressions. The only thing that contradicted was that after Naginaki thistle presented the dishes, they did not pay attention to them, but went to Erina’s. Next to the counter, there is another plate of "Provence grilled dishes"...

As for Erina's cooking, it has reached the final stage, and the sauce is being poured on the finished product.

"Although the ingredients used are different, they are really'eggs Benedict'! Really, the recipes chosen are more'weird' than the other..." Liu Maoxing couldn't help but muttered.

Yu Mei, Xiaohui and others at the scene couldn't help but get anxious...

"That's... Eggs Benedict? What is Erina thinking about? Why did you choose a breakfast as a recipe for the game!" Yu Mei couldn't help but rub his head.

That's right, it was the egg breakfast that Erina had made in the last "accommodation training" and buffet-style assessment, but the recipe now is obviously different from the recipe at that time.

"My lovely daughter, do you remember the'Provence stew'? In order to make your'God Tongue' shine, my father made you the first dish! At that time, you still said that you could not tell the inside. What are the spices and ingredients? I cannot guess where they are produced, their category, and how long they have been stored separately...

In the end, dad’s method was used to make you distinguish it successfully, right?After mixing with those mediocre talents for so long, I am afraid your talents have also deteriorated!Come and try this improved version of the'Provence Stew' again, and remember what happened back then!Don't eat feed anymore!"

From the lens, Liu Subaru read out the lip words of Nagai thistle...

Sure enough, the Nagai thistle, who was originally hostile to Liu Subaru and Erina, was the most complete self-consciousness preserved in the "Dark Cooking Showdown".

Even Liu Subaru suspected that Naruto thistle might have already added other additional conditions to the bet of the "dark cooking showdown" under his own consciousness!

"Yes, but at the same time, please taste my food!" Erina said.

Seeing Erina's look, Liu Subaru was a little relieved, at least in Erina's current eyes, there was no longer any fear of Naginaki thistle.

The Scarlet Sands at the scene said solemnly at this time: "No, the reason why Miss Erina chose the'Egg Benedict' is probably because...When Miss Erina was four years old, she made it herself for the first time. The dishes are egg dishes!"

"Huh? The first time Koerina made eggs Benedict?" Yuuhime asked in surprise.

Although "eggs Benedict" is not too complicated, and it is a common breakfast dish in North America, making "eggs Benedict" for the first time at the age of four is a bit...

"Of course not. Ms. Erina was only four years old at that time. She opened fire for the first time... what she made was an omelet," said Scarlett.

"Fried eggs? What does it have to do with'Eggs Benedict'? Eggs Benedict use poached eggs...Wait! No, so speaking of it, Erinai’s'Eggs Benedict' seems It's an omelette!" Yu Mei suddenly reacted.

Eggs Benedict is a common breakfast in North America. Usually a small piece of English muffin cake is prepared as the base, then bacon and side dishes are placed, and a poached egg is topped on top, and the egg is topped with sour and sour. Spicy Holland sauce.

However, not only did Erina use completely different side dishes, but everyone also recalled that Erina used omelette instead of "poached egg"!

"Poached egg" refers to an egg that has been blanched in hot water while the yolk is still fluid.

Unlike soft-boiled eggs, boiled eggs are not boiled eggs, but are blanched in hot water after shelling.

The most tempting thing about the "poached egg" is undoubtedly the moment when the table knife pierces the solidified egg white on the outside, and the fluid egg yolk flows out!

However, if you look carefully in the close-up, the eggs on Erinai's "Bandini" can be faintly fried under the hollandaise sauce.

"Should the'poached egg' be replaced by an'omelette'..."

At the same time, the ingredients used in the "Bandini Egg" made by Erinai this time are also different. Instead of choosing bacon, it uses Italian Parma ham.

As one of the three major hams in the world, Parma ham has the softest texture of all well-known hams. It is different from the hard quality of ordinary hams. It is also different from Chinese hams that are salted many times during production. Parma ham usually only The salt is applied once, and the amount of salt used in the ham is relatively small. After the blood is separated, the smeared sea salt will be washed away and dried, so the taste is not heavy, and it is even called "sweet ham".

Therefore, Parma ham is not used as a condiment, but can be eaten as a whole slice. The fine sliced ​​Parma ham has a dark red color and a translucent color. The fat has a marble texture. During the process, it smells smoky and can be eaten raw.

The slicing technique of Parma ham can also be used as a reserved item for performances in local Italian restaurants. Even though automatic and semi-automatic slicers are now popular, many restaurants maintain the habit of manual cutting.

At this time, in the improved version of "Bandini" by Erinai, you can see the rolled Parma ham under the omelet, and the wavy curls exposed between the omelet and the base below. People feel very attractive...

And besides Parma ham, you can vaguely see other things...

"It's sliced ​​roast duck." Xiaohui, who had been watching Erina before, said.

That's right, after roasting just right, the roast duck was sliced ​​along with the belt meat!There are not many of each "Bandini Egg", they brought three or two slices, overlapping in the Parma ham...

Speaking of "Roast Duck", the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the "Beijing Roast Duck" in Chinese cuisine, which is already a regional label (well, it is something similar to a landmark!).

However, the "Roast Duck" of Erina is more inclined to "Cantonese Roast Duck" in production, which is also Chinese cuisine, but tends to Cantonese cuisine.

Beijing roast duck originated in the Ming Dynasty. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang liked to eat roast duck. At that time, there were many roast duck masters in Yingtianfu, Jinling, and later Nanjing. Later, after the usurper of Ming ancestor Zhu Di, he moved to Shuntianfu and Ye In the later generations of Beijing, many roast duck people also switched to other homes. Since then, Jinling roast duck and Beijing roast duck have been separated...

With the support of the royal family, the reputation of Beijing Roast Duck has gradually changed from Jinling Roast Duck, and then the Cantonese Roast Duck is another new genre derived from Jinling Roast Duck.

Compared with Beijing roast duck, Cantonese roast duck pays more attention to the taste of duck meat. The former is that the duck skin is more fragrant. If according to the most authentic method, Beijing roast duck should be roasted with fruit trees, so that the aromatic substances in the fruit trees are burning and fully It is dissolved in duck meat and fused with the taste of duck meat to produce a greasy but not greasy, salty and sweet flavor.

The authentic Cantonese roast duck inherits the characteristics of Jinling roast duck and uses pine branches and pine cones as fuel.

Because of the different recipes and flavors during roasting, the sauce is different from Peking duck with shredded green onions and sweet noodle sauce. It is better to match it with plum sauce or other slightly sour sauce...

"Have you found that the bread base baked by Erinai is different from half of English muffins. It does not add so much butter and does not have low flour, but uses a mixture of high-gluten flour and baking powder. The ratio of milk is also different from common muffin cakes..." Yuu Ji said suddenly.

"Yes, this way, it should be far from the softness that muffin has, and the texture should be firmer and chewy...somewhat like German farmer's bread!" Yu Mei nodded.

Liu Subaru, who was watching the live broadcast, also discovered this, and at the same time read from his lips what Najikiji was saying...

"Fried eggs? You haven't given up yet? I should have said at the time that as my daughter, producing feed is absolutely not allowed! Thirteen years... If you have been under my guidance for these thirteen years If so, maybe we can no longer produce feed.

It's a pity that neither you nor the father understands... Then I will try to try it hard, the new fodder produced by you who mixed with the untouchables!"

That’s right, Scarlett also remembered that after Erina finished the omelet for the first time, she went to her father to taste it enthusiastically, but was stepped on the bottom of her feet without a taste of thistle, and rebuked her for " Production of feed"...
