The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 282 Chapter 31 The Exam Begins

At noon on the third day, all 38 chefs were ready to go and stood on both sides of the operating table.The opposite of everyone is their own opponent.

"The time limit is 2 hours. The rules have been mentioned before. I won't repeat them today. The modern cooking begins!" Following Torii Aoi's order, all the candidates immediately started cooking.

The theme of Catherine and Isekhui is salmon, but the dishes they cook are completely different.

Catherine's dish is pan-fried salmon, but the seasonings are extraordinarily rich, such as peppers, onions, lemons, fish sauce... It looks much more complicated than ordinary pan-fried salmon.

However, Catherine also knew that the difficulty of this dish was not the side dishes, but the grilling of the salmon.

For salmon, the common method is frying. This is a common technique, which is a technique of pressing the ingredients with a spatula to make the food evenly colored.Sometimes, in order to let the oil under the skin of the fish go deep into the meat, someone will leave the skin of the salmon.

However, some people think that these oils will produce a fishy smell, and remove the oil under the fish skin.

The methods are different, and different chefs also choose different cooking methods.

Catherine chose to fry the fish with the skin. In order to eliminate the fishy smell, Catherine added an equal amount of butter and salad oil to the pot, so that the fishy smell would dissipate a lot.

Isshiki Kei's dish is grilled salmon.After soaking the salmon with seasonings such as white wine, salt, and pepper, put it into a pan for frying, then spread the prepared batter on the salmon, bake it in the oven, and prepare the pepper sauce at the same time.

All the students were busy like a raging fire, and Torii Aoi and Hanazawa Maki never left their eyes from these 38 people.

"Sure enough, the level of these two people is much higher than the others." Torii Aoi's eyes finally fell on Catherine and Isshiki Hui.

"Ha, one of these two people is a student of the French Lanji, another champion of this year's autumn selection competition, and the other is also a semi-finalist in the autumn selection competition. His cooking skills are among the best among the first-year students. I was still worried about the two of them. They have no opponents, but I didn't expect them to be in a group. Teacher, your criteria for judging the cooking of the two of them should be stricter." Hua Zemu said with a smile.

"Then... let me listen to you? After all, they are the top four in the autumn selection competition, and the level should be similar." Aoi Torii touched her chin, "By the way, how is your cooking? I don't want the top ten, Lost to a first-year student."

"It's no surprise. It's not the first time that Shijie lost to ordinary students. Didn't Caibo seniors from a few years ago also often lose to ordinary students?" Hua Zemu waved his hand and said casually.

"That's because he often made some weird dishes, so he failed!" Torii Aoi's forehead was bulging, and his face was livid, "Besides, he left the school 20 years ago, not a few years ago. You should at least have a heart of respect for your seniors, right?"

Hua Zemu covered his ears, "Yes, actually, I have always been in awe of my seniors."

Candidates who were taking the exam peeked at Aoi Torii and Maki Hanazawa who were talking loudly, with black lines on their hair.

Two judges...are we still taking the exam, okay?

Two hours passed in a flash, and with the sound of a gong, the chefs on both sides took a step back and left the operating table.

"Now let's start exchanging dishes." Torii Aoi said loudly.

The students on both sides immediately handed over their dishes to their opponents in the same group.

"Start to try and rate now!"

Catherine's dish is two delicate slices of salmon stacked on top of each other, and a vegetable salad is placed next to the salmon.

Yishihui picked up the tableware, gently cut a corner of the salmon, picked up a piece of fish with a fork, and put it in the mouth. The rich taste gradually spread in the mouth. The fresh and tender fish did not lose its luster due to frying. On the contrary, The salmon meat in the entrance is extremely soft and melts in the mouth.

"Is this flavor... Cajun?"

Cajun-style pan-fried fish originated in places like New Orleans and has a brown crust on the surface of the fish fillet.This rich flavor comes from this outer layer.

From the right heat to the precise amount of seasonings, everything is almost perfect.While keeping the taste of the salmon fresh, the Cajun flavor firmly captured his taste buds.

For this dish, Isekhui can only use four words to describe it - impeccable.At his level, he couldn't tell the shortcomings of this dish.

The innocent-looking girl in front of her, after picking up the kitchen knife, her horror swept over again.

I thought that after the baptism of the autumn competition, my strength would improve—it was because of this—but the guy in front of me was still insignificant.

"Yes, after all, the opponent is Isshiki-kun, so no matter what, you have to show some skills." Catherine also picked up the knife and said excitedly, "Isshiki-kun's cooking is also good, this strong aroma... ...There should be spices, right? If I guessed correctly, there should be basil leaves, thyme, corn, cheese. Hmm... The salmon meat is also very delicious. After being baked and colored, the aroma of cornmeal, cheese and seasoning is completely immersed It’s in the salmon meat. The final sauce is also just right, pepper, tomato, olive oil... The refreshing taste almost makes people forget the richness of the dish itself. Isshiki Hui, it’s great to have you as your opponent.”

The smile on Yishihui's face was a bit forced, "I don't want to fight you again."

"Okay, let's start scoring now. When I pass by you, I will report the score, and then Hanazawa and I will try your dishes separately."

Torii Aoi and Hanazawa Maki, one behind the other, walked between the two rows of operating desks.

"This bowl of ramen, I give 88 points." Said the students on the left side of the first group.

"I give 86 points." The student on the right replied.

Aoi Torii came to the operating table on the left, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and tasted the ramen. "The taste is blunt, and the soup is not good. I gave you three days to make this kind of dish? Eliminate!"

The two students in this group were ashen-faced and slumped on the ground.

Since the dishes with the highest scores in the same group were eliminated, there was no point in eating the dishes with low scores.

Hua Zemu smiled all over his face and followed the second group.

The faces of the two were tense, waiting nervously for Aoi Torii.

"You pass!"

The student on the right immediately smiled, and Hanazawa walked up to the student on the left. After taking a bite of the food, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "I'm sorry, you were eliminated."

　Thank you Soy Sauce Pu for the reward, and thank you for buying the cute Hanzo, the unfeeling cat Xiujian, and the peerless Qianqianfeng monthly pass.
