Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Accompanied by the commanding sound of Start eating the halberd, Liu Maoxing and Shinomiya Kojiro took out the cooking table at the same time, and they named the crabs they needed before...

Different from the official food halberd, the ingredients this time are all provided by Yuanyue Hotel.

The ingredients chosen by Shinomiya are the King Crab used in the course during the day!

And the crab that Liu Maoxing took out has a nearly round body, the back of the carapace is green, the belly is grayish white, and the inner and outer edges of the double pincers are densely covered with fluff... It is the Chinese mitten crab, which is often called hairy crab!

Huh? That's an mitten crab? It's very rare... Donato touched his double chin and said.

As expected of Yuanyue Hotel, there are still fresh stockings of such rare ingredients! Qian Ri Xiangzi said.

Of course, the goal of Yuanyue Hotel is to serve all customers. Dojima Yin said.

Indeed, hairy crabs are rarely used as ingredients even in Japan, which is a strip of water from the land of China. Most of the hairy crabs imported from Japan are consumed in Chinatown...

In Western countries, hairy crabs from freshwater crabs are not included in the food materials themselves!

Because there are sea crabs with thicker meat heads, which can better meet the eating habits of Westerners. Even after hairy crabs become an invasive species and reproduce in large numbers in the West, they still only have a life as feed.

After all, every civilization has its own eating habits, just like there were very few sheep in Japan before, although there are more sheep now, but there are still very few mutton dishes...

But in Chinese cuisine, hairy crabs are aquatic products!

Although it is known that Liu Maoxing is good at Chinese cuisine, but before this, no one except Dojima Gin knew that Liu Maoxing actually wanted to eat halberds with freshwater crabs!

Even Erina looked at him in bewilderment, wondering what the hell Liu Maoxing was doing, knowing that the judges are not used to freshwater crabs...

At this time, both of them have blocked the external interference, and at the same time started the same step as the first step, which is to pick out the crab meat.

For king crabs, it may be more appropriate to use peeling to get out the crab meat. Sigong didn't have to spend much effort to peel off the meat of the king crab legs with thick meat heads, and Liu Maoxing... It seems that it didn't take much effort , I used a small paring knife and a small boning knife to quickly pick out the crab meat of the hairy crabs!

From the following steps, the behavior of the two became very different. I saw that Sigong used long chopsticks to skillfully mix the king crab leg meat with cornstarch... No! It is wrapped in a prepared sauce with raw powder as the main body.

Cornstarch and cornstarch have similar functions and ingredients. One is cornstarch and the other is potato starch. They are usually used for thickening.

And there is obviously olive oil in this sauce, which makes it very viscous!

Afterwards, Shinomiya baked the crab legs wrapped in sauce in the oven...

Huh? What is Shinomiya-senpai doing? Qian Hinata asked in confusion.

Sigong didn't mean to hide anything, and replied directly: It's 'French Cheese Baked Crab'!

Cheese Baked Crab? Kanryu Xiangzi really didn't see how it looked like cheese baked crab.

Indeed, although Sigong's current dish is the first dish in this afternoon's class, it is obviously an improved version, completely different from the recipe Liu Maoxing saw before.

The daytime recipe is a general version, first coat the crab meat with cornstarch and then fry it... It is very different from the current method of Sigong.

And Liu Maoxing is using the crab shells, adding other spices, and cooking the broth aside!

Seeing that Liu Maoxing put a lot of thought into the soup, other people present even wondered, could it be that Liu Maoxing wanted to use the crab shells after the crab meat was removed as ingredients?

It wasn't until Liu Maoxing was finally satisfied with the soup that it was already an hour later that he put the soup aside and continued to boil, and began to chop chopped green onions, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots.

You must know that although there are many soups that need to be boiled for an hour, it takes an hour to constantly change the ratio of ingredients and continuously improve the soup, which seems rare...

Aside from their doubts, the judges couldn't help but have a greater sense of anticipation than the crab meat dish for this broth, which has concentrated almost half of Liu Maoxing's energy!

After Liu Maoxing kept beating four eggs in his hands, he stir-fried the chopped green onion, diced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and hairy crab meat in a certain order, and then added them to the egg liquid !

Liu Maoxing paused at this moment, after thinking about it, he added some of the crab-flavored juice in the five-flavored fish-flavored juice and added it to the raw eggs.

After that, he used a spoon to put some egg liquid in a small dish, dipped his little finger on the egg liquid, felt it on the tip of his tongue, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Donato, who had a double chin, looked at him suspiciously and said, Huh? What classmate Liu Maoxing made seems to be... hibiscus eggs?

Omelette?

That's right, Cantonese cuisine belongs to Chinese cuisine. Is it similar to adding various ingredients to uncooked fried eggs to form an omelet with a different taste? Donato's voice fell, and Liu Maoxing Put the raw egg liquid mixed with other ingredients into the frother!

This, this is...

Seeing that Liu Maoxing actually used such a violent method to stir the egg liquid, it also caused countless air to enter the egg liquid. It is conceivable that the egg pancake fried in this way will be abnormal. soft.

Crab meat soufflé eggs, let's call it that! Liu Maoxing said.

It is the recipe of the super one-star Crab Hibiscus Egg, slightly changing some ingredients, and using a foaming machine before frying, which will greatly increase the fluffiness of the omelette...

That's right, it was under the influence of Chuangzhen, who was almost eliminated because of material selection in the morning, that Liu Maoxing made such changes to Furong Eggs!

A large bowl full of mixed raw eggs was divided into four small crucibles by Liu Maoxing, and four small portions of crab meat soufflé eggs were fried at the same time...

Because of the experience of a high-power foaming machine, when the ingredients in the egg liquid are stirred evenly, a lot of gas is also beaten in. At this time, under the frying, the gas expands inside, forming a fluffy Soufflé!

It's just that this soufflé is not a dessert or dessert, but a fluffy version of Furong Egg!

It's no wonder that after frying in advance, it is added to the raw egg liquid to make it! It's an interesting idea... Donato sighed.

But it's still just a lotus egg, isn't it? Qianri Xiangzi said with her head slightly tilted to the side.

Donato’s lament is not unreasonable. You must know that the heating time and temperature of diced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, crab meat, and raw egg liquid are not the same, so they can’t be fried at once. That’s why we differentiated frying before. scene.

Otherwise, if you stir-fry now, it will definitely destroy the appearance of the Shu Fulei Furong Egg...

At this time, an hour and fifty minutes have passed, and both parties have reached the final stage of the plate. I saw Liu Maoxing's three small portions of Crab Meat Soufflé Eggs, which looked like cakes, and were served in cups of just the right size middle.

Next to it was a bowl of crab soup that looked brown and unattractive, and the ingredients and ingredients had been filtered out, and then the plate was covered.

On the side of Kojiro Shinomiya, there are three special baked crabs with cheese. In the thick cheese, in addition to the leg meat of the king crab, there are also wax gourds and tomatoes prepared by Shinomiya, which are suitable for serving with Vegetables and fruits eaten with crabs serve as a foil.

There are no other side dishes, just covered under the cover of the dinner plate...

At exactly nine o'clock, Erina announced on time: It's time! Now, please present the dishes in turn!

This time it was premeditated. Liu Maoxing presented the dishes first, and the three covered dishes were delivered to the three judges.

The three of them opened the cover of the dinner plate at the same time, and saw three cups of crab soufflé eggs that seemed to be bouncing inside, and a small bowl of crab soup appeared in front of them!

In the crab meat soufflé egg, the fresh egg aroma mixed with the umami flavor of crab meat, and the rich crab flavor in the crab soup, mix and pour into the nose alternately.

It smells good! Donato twitched his Adam's apple.

First, I pressed the crabmeat souffle egg with the back of the spoon to feel its soft texture, and then I put a spoonful of the fragrant soufflé egg mixed with crab meat, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and chopped green onion into my mouth...

This is a freshwater crab...

The three of them seemed to see fat hairy crabs pouring into the coast in groups in the canal.

Although the meat head is not thick, it is also very firm in the small size, and the crab roe, which is less grainy, has a stronger freshness than sea crabs... The three even had a maybe freshwater crab in their hearts. not bad” thought.

Huh? This egg...why is the aroma of crab so strong? Donato asked puzzled.

Is it to simulate the taste? In Kakuzaki Taki's class, Liu Maoxing and Ha Shanliang made it together once, using other ingredients and spices to simulate the taste of crab meat. Dojima Yin said.

Huh? What kind of assessment, do you have to do this? Donato looked at Kakuzaki Taki, who turned his head in embarrassment.

And this crab soup, is it also part of the cuisine? Kanhiko said.

Talking about Dojima Gin and Kanhyuko, they picked up a small bowl of crab soup...

It is not customary to use a spoon to drink soup in Japan, but to drink it directly from a bowl. Among the three, only Donato's dinner plate is equipped with a spoon.

Huh? Ganri Xiangzi and Donato frowned after eating the crab soup, as if they felt that Liu Maoxing's performance was not up to standard.

And Dojima Gin stared at the crab soup in his hand with a suspicious look...

Erina suddenly said at this moment: Please don't waste too much, the judges! If you haven't finished the soup, you have to throw it away!

Hearing what Erina said, Ganri Xiangzi and Donato resolutely took another two sips. After all, it just made people feel that it was not up to Liu Maoxing's level, but it was not unpalatable...
