Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Cabbage? No... Is that baby cabbage or cabbage heart? Yuji asked doubtfully.

The base of the leaf is narrow, the veins are thin, the surface of the leaf is flat, and the color is bright yellow without white...it should be a baby vegetable. Liangzi judged.

Baby cabbage is a rare local ingredient in the island country. It is very similar to the peeled cabbage heart, but its potassium content and carotene content are much higher than that of cabbage. It is considered to be a vegetable with certain medicinal effects.

Besides, since it's a broth dish, baby dishes are more suitable. Marui Zenji put on his glasses.

Indeed, baby cabbage is better than cabbage because of its texture, taste and nutritional content, and it soon replaced cabbage in many positions in Chinese cuisine, especially in some exquisite broth dishes. Baby cabbage began to replace cabbage heart in an all-round way.

It's a pity that he didn't come here at the beginning. I don't know what kind of soup his four pots are...Huh? I opened one! Dawu said hastily.

After I saw Jiuga cut a few baby vegetables into flat pieces with a sharp knife, I opened the first stock pot on the left.

You don’t need to cut baby vegetables very finely, but from the perspective of Jiu Izhaoji’s knife, each “piece” of baby vegetables is a few leaves sticking together, which is convenient for entrance and can ensure the taste of baby vegetables. I still put my heart into it for a long time.

What everyone is more concerned about is Jiuwo Zhaoji's high soup. The first pot of soup is pure white in color and there is no oily flower at all.

After opening it, a faint fragrance came out, and Liu Maoxing's super sense of smell caught it immediately.

Although Liu Maoxing's super sense of smell could smell it before opening the lid, but the smell that escaped at that time was only equivalent to semi-finished broth, and now it is what Jiuga Zhaoji really wants to show!

Liu Maoxing moved his nose slightly and said: In ancient China, when the government and the people were divided, there was a kind of 'Zhili official cuisine' that was born in the folk, formed in the government, and sublimated in the court. There are eight major cuisines, but this exquisite cooking method is still very valuable to learn today...

The soup used in Zhili official cuisine emphasizes no chicken is not fresh, no duck is not fragrant, no belly is not white, and no elbow is not sticky. And less salty and fresh, right?

Liu Maoxing also said something in his heart, and the use of pepper and chili has always been taboo in broth cooking, and the salty and fresh flavors are the main ones, especially umami. Jiuwo Zhaoji, who specializes in spicy and spicy flavors, will choose broth cooking, It made Liu Maoxing feel strange at first, but what made Liu Maoxing most strange was...

While speaking, Liu Maoxing couldn't help but glanced strangely at the two pots of broth between Zhaoji and me!

As expected of the 'destroying dragon of the gourmet empire', can you tell the details of the first broth just by the smell? But this first 'white tiger broth' only needs to highlight the 'fragrance' is enough! No timid look.

On the side of Jixingliao off the court, Dawu and the others were puzzled: 'Fragrant' is enough? Just having 'fragrant' is not a dish at all, right?

Aren't there four pots of broth? Should they be mixed together for use? Ryoko speculated.

However, Jiu I Zhaoji put the cut baby cabbage in the net basket that is usually used to cook ramen, and then carried the net basket and soaked the Chinese cabbage in the white tiger broth for only a few seconds. So Kuga immediately lifted it out, put it into the ice water prepared in advance, and brought it out again after cooling for a few seconds, dusting off the water on it like brushing ramen...

After a long time, Zhao Ji also covered the lid of the first pot of broth, turned off the fire, and looked like it had been used up.

Of course, this pot of broth can be used for other dishes in the future, but now its mission in this food halberd is over.

Is it only used to cut off life? No wonder you only need 'Fragrant Fragrance'... Liu Maoxing naturally saw what Jiu Wo Zhaoji was going to do.

Break life usually refers to a way in Chinese cuisine to prevent the internal decomposition of ingredients, usually by blanching. If it is a vegetable, it can also play a role in maintaining the color.

Immediately afterwards, Jiuwo Zhaoji opened the second pot of broth, and it was a pot of red soup!

It is as red as the spicy pot of Sichuan hot pot, as red as fire!

Liu Maoxing rubbed his nose involuntarily, the smell was indeed a bit irritating...

Spicy, spicy soup? What is Jiu Wo doing? The audience off the court started talking.

Some students who watched originally guessed that Kuga Teruki made a dish similar to boiled cabbage.

However, the spicy broth suddenly appeared, but everyone couldn't understand it. The Chinese broth should avoid pungent spices such as pepper and chili, but Jiuga Zhaoji...

Besides, even if Jiu Zhaoji really made a spicy broth, wouldn't the previous fragrant broth be wasted?

You will definitely be overwhelmed by the spiciness! Not everyone has a God's Tongue...

Is it better to simply use boiling water before? Is it really just for a gimmick?

But for a long time, I didn't throw the blanched baby vegetables directly into the spicy broth, but still put them in the net basket. This time, I didn't submerge the net basket, but changed the lid of the pot of red soup. , I saw that there was a water pipe connected to the lid of the pot. After I opened the valve for a long time, red soup flowed out from the other end of the water pipe...

You have also seen before that there is something similar to a filter under the newly replaced lid. It seems that a water pump is added inside to pump out the clarified red soup!

And for a long time, I was like this, pouring hot red soup on baby dishes, and heating them with running water...

Of course, there is also a container underneath. These red soups can also be used in other dishes in the future. After a long time, I will shake the net basket from time to time so that the baby vegetables can be heated evenly in the running water.

After about a minute, the second pot of red soup was used up, and the original baby dish had a reddish tinge.

Is this 'Suzaku Soup'? Liu Maoxing also guessed the other party's naming rules.

That's right! The Suzaku represents flames and new life!

From other people's point of view, Jiuwo's ​​hand completely covered up the previous fragrance, but Liu Maoxing knew that was not the case!

Although the fresh fragrance is light, it is the raw broth of baby dishes. Even if the tongue of ordinary gourmets cannot taste the fresh fragrance, it will still affect these baby dishes.

It seems to be a baby dish, and the sharp claws are sharpened like a white tiger...

And the ingenious Suzaku Soup is different from ordinary broths with thick spicy and heavy oil, which makes baby vegetables reborn from the ashes, and has the ability to spread its wings!

At this time, I also turned on the third pot of broth, which is not a soup pot...it is clearly a pressure cooker!

What Liu Maoxing couldn't figure out before was the second and third pots. Although the smell inside was not ripe before, and the pressure cooker was airtight, Liu Maoxing's super sense of smell and semi-super sense of taste still caught some.

If the second pot of red soup just made him feel strange, then the third pot of soup seemed to Liu Maoxing to be incomprehensible...

After all, in order to convince Jiuwo, Liu Maoxing didn't want to use super vision to copy him to defeat him, but chose to use his own cooking skills. Naturally, he couldn't turn on super vision halfway to avoid affecting his performance.

It's just using super-smell and semi-super-taste to perceive some situations.

For a long time, my four pots of broth are also made from chicken, duck, ham, pork bones and other broth ingredients, but the proportions and spices used are different. Among them, the third pot surprised Liu Maoxing the most...

The audience was equally skeptical: What do you use a pressure cooker for making soup?

And Liu Maoxing, who knows what I used in the third pot of broth for a long time, why are they wondering... Can this broth be used?

Liu Maoxing already knew that even though he chose broth dishes, Jiu Wo did not give up his sharpest weapon... spicy, spicy!

The second pot is his spicy, and the third pot is numb.

But hemp alone is not tasty at all, even if it is poured on baby vegetables and heated under running water like before, Liu Maoxing doesn't think it is a good idea, or even a failure...

After a long time, I also told Liu Maoxing with actions, what he is going to do!

This pressure cooker was also modified by me for a long time. When the pressure was released, the high-pressure gas in it, accompanied by high-temperature steam, was sprayed into the matching container next to it along the air duct...

And for a long time, the part I used for this third pot of broth is these high-temperature, high-pressure steam!

In the transparent container, the baby vegetables in the net basket are constantly shaking under the control of Kuga in the clouds and mist.

Okay! Is this 'Blue Dragon Soup'? Liu Maoxing exclaimed.

Indeed, using the third broth directly alone is definitely a failure, but if you just use steam, it will make the taste of baby dishes more three-dimensional, as if... the looming dragon in the cloud!

In the air duct, the steam has actually cooled down a bit. In addition, I kept shaking the net basket for a long time, so that the texture of baby vegetables would not be destroyed in an instant because of the high temperature...

After the same two or three minutes, the baby dishes that had experienced three high soups were put on the plate by Jiugao, and then some were filled out from the fourth pot of high soup, and cornstarch and other ingredients that had been prepared earlier were added. The original clear light yellow umami broth has formed a viscous yellow and color thickening sauce.

After the thickening sauce prepared by the last Xuanwu broth was poured on the prepared plate of baby dishes, Jiu Wo presented the three plates of baby dishes...

Get ready for a tear-jerking treat! This is my 'Si Ling Dao Soup Baby Dish'!

A long time ago, I acted according to Ji’s series of actions, which had already induced the appetite of the judges. Oizumi Kakinosuke, who did not hide himself the most, no matter how old he was, he still put on the appearance of a young boy who couldn’t wait. The stable Dojima Gin also showed appreciation, and secretly said: I haven't discovered before that besides Isshiki Hui, there are such talents among the sophomores.

Li Yuan, who is good at Chinese cuisine, appreciates the use of Kuga Teruji's broth very much. At the same time, like Dojima Yin, he secretly weighed in his heart. He thought that Liu Maoxing would win, but he didn't expect this second-year boy to explode. Yes... Sure enough, the year I stayed at Yuanyue Academy was not for nothing!
