Rebirth as a Cooking God

Silence is better than sound.

In shock, everyone discovered that this time the light of the noodle bowl did not appear suddenly, but flickered for a long time. It was completely different from the light of the food that would be missed if you were not paying attention in the past.

However, the cuisine has changed.

The black soup in the noodle bowl is not as deep as the universe that surged with dark matter in the beginning.

To put it simply, the universe has gone from awakening to its current hibernation, leaving only the unchanged stars dotted on the black curtain. The fluorescent lights are shining, exuding their own unique charm in the darkness, firmly attracting everyone's attention.

Even the two big guys, Akiyama Hiroshi and Nakiri Senzaemon, had their eyes illuminated by the stars, with admiration and appreciation clearly written in their eyes.

Food is more than just taste! Akiyama Hiroshi said.

certainly!

Nakiri Senzaemon said: The beauty of food is also a science. Decoration, sculpture, etc. The significance of Totsuki setting up these courses is to cultivate students' aesthetic awareness of food.

The color, fragrance, shape, and spirit nourish the mind.

Maas said slowly, Except for 'meaning' and 'nourishment', Chinese chefs put 'shape' in an equally important position as 'color', 'fragrance' and 'taste', which is enough to illustrate the problem. So-called The beauty and appearance of food are also the most direct difference between gourmet cuisine and popular cuisine.

The so-called tasting of food, the appearance is also a kind of tasting! Mas said.

A long while.

Only then did Nakiri Erina let go of the folded palms covering her mouth, and her beautiful eyes stared at Xia Yu. Her eyes were clearly shining in the darkness, like stars, brighter than the Milky Way in a bowl.

...What kind of pasta is this? she asked in a faint voice.

Galaxy side!

A smiling voice answered at the same time, snap, the switch was turned on, and the kitchen was suddenly brightly lit.

Uh-huh.

The majestic beauty of the Milky Way in a bowl also disappeared.

Everyone had regrets and reluctance, but most of them were deeply curious.

Hey, there's still light in the bowl!

Kobayashi Gendan said in surprise.

Yes, under the light, there are still specks of dust floating on the surface of the black soup in the noodle bowl.

I see!

Liangzi Lina, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: It's edible pearl powder!

Does pearl powder glow?

Tokyo Governor Yuriko Tamagawa said in surprise.

She is a mature woman who often comes into contact with jewelry and cosmetics. Of course she knows the true form of pearl powder. The reason why a complete pearl shines is because the surface of the pearl is covered with a smooth layer of colloid, which is also the most precious nacre layer.

So actually, pearl powder has no luminous effect.

Therefore, to be precise, they are fragments of the pearl surface, shining brightly in the black soup!

Yuriko Tamagawa explained to everyone with a smile.

Xia Yu just smiled and did not refute.

Please taste, Your Excellency Akiyama - Handing another pair of clean chopsticks, Xia Yu turned sideways and motioned to Akiyama Hong to take the bowl and taste it himself.

At this time, the eyes of the four women present, Erina, Kobayashi Ritsou, Ryoko Rina, and Tamagawa Yuriko, all became complicated, and they looked at Akiyama Hiroki with a hint of envy and jealousy.

Such beautiful pasta, it would be great if you could eat it in one sitting, right?

A chef, or gourmet, of course thinks about eating.

In a sense, their appetite has completely overtaken their love for beautiful things. But you can also put it another way, eating it is the highest respect for this beauty!

Put down your chopsticks!

Akiyama Hiroshi obviously had similar emotions. He immediately took off his chopsticks and picked up a full circle of noodles from the dark soup.

Whoosh

With a sharp suction, the flexible noodles immediately filled the mouth, and the black soup stuck to his lips. Before Akiyama Hiroshi could wipe it away, his bulging cheeks were twitching, and the hand holding the chopsticks also trembled slightly.

Squid ink!

Akiyama Hiroshi widened his eyes and said: The main ingredient of the soup must be squid juice! It tastes so fresh! The original abrupt and faint medicinal smell has been completely removed!

ah……

As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body trembled, his left hand rested on the kitchen counter, and he murmured: What an incredible taste craze!

Squid ink is just the first explosive in your mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the onions, garlic, chicken bones, pork bones and other ingredients used in the first soup set off a second wave of charging horns on the tip of his tongue. His taste buds were electrocuted at this time, giving him a feeling of numbness.

But the charge continued.

boom

The umami flavor hidden in the black soup burst out completely.

Shrimp heads, clams, bonito.

Scallops, kombu (kelp), dried small whitebait.

There are so many ingredients from the ocean. After they are boiled, the essence is condensed into a thick soup, forming a third layer of soup, which is combined with the first two layers of soup to form a violent trio of soups!

What is it that twists three layers of soup into one and violently invades Chef Lin's taste?

spices!

The spices in the mixed soup play a lubricating role, so when the tip of his tongue set off a triple frenzy, and his whole body was electrocuted and twitching, Akiyama Hiroshi didn't feel any sudden feeling. Instead, he fell into physical and mental collapse, and his expression went blank.

After a long time, Akiyama Hiro opened his eyes, turned his head and glanced at the smiling young man, and exhaled: You have brought the unique taste and sweetness of squid ink to the extreme. This is the first important taste!

If I guess correctly, you used a sauce-making technique similar to Western food to improve the taste of the squid ink? he said.

right!

This is entirely a conversation between two people. The others are just spectators, have not tasted it, and do not understand the secrets.

Xia Yu answered eloquently: I cut the garlic and onion into fine pieces, heated the pan with melted butter, cooked the minced garlic and onion until soft, then poured in some white wine, boiled the alcohol dry, then poured in the squid ink, and mixed it with Mix and cook three types of soups!”

No wonder!

Akiyama Hiroshi exclaimed: The fishy smell of squid ink and the smell of medicinal materials are completely gone!

Next to her, listening to Xia Yu's answer, Nakiri Erina suddenly thought of the Shokuri in the underground kitchen that night during the dormitory study period.

At that time, when Shinomiya Kojiro was cooking the dish of 'White Wine Pan-fried Sea Bass', he used a similar Western sauce technique, using butter, onions, and white wine as the main ingredients to prepare the sauce for the dish.

White meat with white wine.

This is the cooking principle and common sense of Western food.

There is no doubt that this principle is most vividly reflected in Xia Yu’s seafood-themed noodle dish.

The white wine perfectly removes the smell of squid ink, leaving only the delicious taste. No wonder the noodles started to attack on the tip of Akiyama Hiroshi's tongue as soon as he entered the mouth!

It can be said that the sauce made by blending onions, minced garlic, butter and white wine, and finally pouring in an appropriate amount of squid ink is the cornerstone of the universe of this 'Galaxy Noodle'.

He applies Western cooking techniques to pasta dishes full of Chinese style?

A fusion of culinary skills!

For some reason, this sentence suddenly popped into Nakiri Erina's mind at this moment.

Perverted...

She complained quietly.
