They Gather Here

"It's worthy of being an expert in the review group, who can come up with so much theoretical knowledge by rote."

"You think I want to?"

"I understand."

Ying Lili covered her lips and smiled, and the onlookers who were eating melons also booed and applauded.

Luo Zhen glared at them, then glanced at Kato Megumi quietly, and found that the girl was cooking in an orderly manner without being affected in any way.

He was relieved, and decided to go to see the progress of the summer of the Far East Magic Siesta Association.

Obviously, Bird Tour is not a cook, but can only do some preliminary preparations-kneading plain flour into shortbread, beating eggs, chopping onions, handling sardines and the like.

Luo Zhen moved the microphone closer: "Student Xiaoniaoyou, what kind of food is your club going to cook?"

Xiaoniaoyou was doing something he was not good at, sweating profusely, but still pretending to be aggressive: "Ahahaha, of course the cooking of the evil king's true eyes can summon the evil god."

So, what is it?

Luo Zhen scratched his head.

Chapter 53 Cooking Competition ([-])

5100 words, big chapter, two in one.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

? AND ? ADN ?

Luo Jun didn't look this way.

('へ')

Kato Megumi was a little bit unhappy.

That's right, it's really just a "lost".

In other words, she didn't suffer too much from it, but took a deep breath, focused, and started her cooking work.

In the three-person wheel battle, the pioneer is the most important thing, and the tone of all dishes must be set well.

The first thing to do is steam the rice.

Because she couldn't use the integrated rice cooker, the girl began to wash the rice, which was extremely beautiful.

Although Yukinoshita couldn't see anything, Chitanda knew what to do, and said in a low voice, "Yukishita-senpai, Kato-senpai are very powerful~"

Yukinoshita nodded: "Are you talking about washing rice?"

"Rice contains vitamins and inorganic salts, and is easily soluble in water. If you wash it hard, all the nutrients on the surface will be lost, but you can't use running water, so the speed is very high."

"To be honest, I usually use a rice cooker."

Chitanda could understand, seeing Megumi Kato's actions, she couldn't help but feel joyful.

Quick work can also produce fine work——

After adding water and lighting the fire, Megumi Kato no longer took care of the rice cooker.

Next is cod Saikyaki.

The first step is to prepare the sauce. Add mirin, sake, and sugar to the bowl. Since there is no lemon wedge, a very small amount of ponzu vinegar is used.

Then, she dipped some of it with her fingers and licked it into her mouth, but she didn't expect it to be a little sour.

Compared to lemon, ponzu vinegar has about the same acidity but a bit more punch, and, as the roasting process, the liquid evaporates, concentrating the sauce and resulting in an unbalanced final flavor.

If it was Luo Jun's operation, how would he remedy it?

Megumi Kato moved his attention to the three seasonings of mirin, sake, and sugar.

Both wine and sugar can reduce the original sour taste, but it is also possible to control the dosage poorly, which will make it more unpalatable after adding white miso, and adding alkaline seasoning such as flour soda and baking soda to neutralize acid and alkali will also produce Sudden astringency.

At this moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice came from the stage: "By the way, there are a few ingredients that the contestants didn't choose~"

Ying Lili replied: "Probably because of unfamiliarity."

"It's like that dark egg."

"That one is called 'Preserved Egg', which comes from China. When making it, some alkaline substances are added to the mud, pass through the pores on the eggshell, and combine with amino acids to form amino acid salts. Since these amino acid salts are insoluble in protein, they are produced. Crystallized in a certain geometric shape, it forms a beautiful pine flower."

"It should be said whether the chefs in Huaxia are brave to try, or smart..."

"It was actually experimented by the farmers."

"I will feel embarrassed if you tear down the stage like this... Eh... the vanguard of the neighborhood committee team took the preserved eggs!"

Including Luo Zhen, everyone's eyes were attracted.

Megumi Kato peeled off the preserved eggs, then pinched a few black "whites" and put them in his mouth, then opened his eyes wide, showing a rather surprised expression.

Ying Lili in the stands smiled: "Contestant Kato, is it fresh?"

It does!

Moreover, it is not the umami taste of seafood, but it is a kind of umami similar to chicken essence, which is very flavorful.

the reason is simple--

A lot of protein in preserved eggs is decomposed into amino acids, so the yolk of preserved eggs tastes fresher than ordinary eggs, even compared with sterile raw eggs.

Megumi Kato took a little "white" and egg yolk, crushed them thoroughly, threw them into the sauce and stirred them thoroughly.

Then, pour it into the pot and boil, then stir in Xijing miso, turn off the heat, take it out and stir evenly to make miso sauce, let it cool and pour it on the cod, let the sauce completely cover the fish, put it in a small refrigerator pickled.

There is only one refrigerator and oven, which is on the right side of the reception desk.

It took about 1 minute to go back and forth, and then it was time to wait for the general to come out.

Kato Megumi still needs to make another cold dish or a pickled dish, but he has plenty of time, so he can take a breath first.

The girl raised her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

At this moment, her eyes collided with Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen said with his mouth: "Use preserved eggs to neutralize orange vinegar, it's done beautifully."

Was praised!

However, Kato Megumi had a rare moment of being arrogant, turned his head to one side, and muttered to himself while inserting his waist for a while: "Why didn't you see me when I encountered difficulties just now?"

Being far away, Luo Zhen couldn't hear clearly, but he still gave a thumbs up with a smile on his face.

Stupid!

Kato Megumi's expression softened, but he deliberately lowered his head so that the other party would not see it. At the same time, he thought about the ingredients under his hands, and gradually had a clear idea.

The girl put a little bit of cabbage oil in the pot, dried the pot with ginger, garlic, and chili, and when the aroma overflowed, put clams, pour sake and water, and simmer the lid.

Seeing her movements, Chitanda clapped his hands: "This is a clam steamed with wine, which is a traditional Japanese delicacy."

Xue Zhixi was taken aback: "Isn't steamed clams in wine a Chinese dish?"

"That's right~"

"..."

"This is the Hachisun of Doll's Day. Every year on Doll's Day, people will celebrate with dolls, sake, rice cakes, chickpeas and peach blossoms. The first dish is clams steamed with wine."

The so-called "eight inches" is the appetizer of Japanese food, which is named after it is packed in an eight-inch long food box.

But this is the first time Yukinoshita has heard of eating wine and steamed clams on Doll's Day, so I guess it is the customs of Gifu County.

Emmmm......

The custom of eating clams in the inland areas is amazing enough.

Just when the girl was thinking about what was there, she suddenly heard a "cracking" sound from the pot, which should be the sound of clams hitting each other or hitting the edge of the pot when they opened their shells.

Megumi Kato waited for 3 minutes, then opened the shell and lifted the lid.

For a moment, the aroma is tangy.

However, there was not much time left for her, and Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice came from the podium: "Ten minutes are up, please exchange players between teams!"

That's all.

Kato Megumi took one last look at the steaming wine-steamed clams, raised his hands and left the stove.

She walked to Chitanda's side and lowered her voice: "Xiao Qian, you will put a small piece of butter in the steamed clams in wine later, and when the butter is about to melt, sprinkle chopped green onion and add some salt to taste."

Chitanda rolled up his sleeves: "Leave everything to me!"

The girl took over the position of the senior.

Immediately afterwards, a shocking picture appeared.

Good... so fast!

The girl's hand speed was astonishingly fast, as if she had grown three heads and six arms, and her technique was extremely beautiful.

Of course, this also attracted the attention of the two people on the ceremony stage. Hiratsuka Shizune exclaimed: "As expected of the female power in our club... no, it should be the member with the highest bride index. How beautiful is the radish cut!"

Wheel cutting is a kind of knife work. The simplest and most common application is to peel apples.

But apples are spheres (approximately), and radishes are cylindrical (approximately), so the latter requires more skill when cutting in circles. Shizuka Hiratsuka’s praise is not an exaggeration.

However, Chitanda still blushed.

She stared at the stage as if protesting: "If culinary skills can represent some kind of 'bridal index', isn't the most powerful person in our club Senior Luo?"

puff!

Everyone burst out laughing.

Luo Zhen was stunned, wondering if this girl had swapped souls with Kato Megumi, the one who should have been shy was no longer shy, and the one who should have been black-bellied was no longer black-bellied, or even reversed.

However, Chitanda's fierce complaints did not affect the technology.

In a short while, a whole radish was peeled into paper-like slices, and shallots, sweet and sour, and ginger were already prepared on the cutting board.

Luo Zhen walked back to the reception desk and picked up the microphone to fight back: "I didn't expect Chitanda-san to be so capable, why is she always so dumb... No, how about Wen Jing?"

Chitanda's face instantly swelled into a bun, and she stomped her foot twice in dissatisfaction.
