Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

Food is actually a "feast of taste".

The wide variety of delicacies not only enriches the diversity of cuisine, but also stimulates the sensitive taste of diners!

The word "food". Often reflects the various aspects of life.

It also conveys the culinary beliefs that the chef wants to express through delicious food!

In this bowl of wonton noodles, there are five wontons, and the fillings are mostly made of a mixture of fat and lean minced mutton, fresh shrimps, minced fish, egg yolks and various seasonings.

Therefore, the freshness of wontons is different from that of dumplings and buns.

The filling alone is enough to be delicious, even if it doesn't depend on any one part, it is a comprehensive quality that embodies the glory of Cantonese cuisine.

In summary.

The freshness of wontons depends on the complementarity of three parts, namely fillings, wrappers and soup.

All three are important and cannot exist without one.

At the same time, the wonton skin is so thin that the cooked wonton skin is almost transparent, and the meat filling and shrimp inside are faintly visible.

At the entrance.

It just feels fresh and delicious, and it feels like a new taste experience that I've never had before.

Even if there are thousands of words in my mind, I want to describe this feeling. But in the end, I found that there is really no word in the world that can describe such delicious wonton noodles!

…

All talented people are sick and waiting for Zhang Fan to cure them.

This kind of story line should be said to run through the entire izakaya, including Nakiri Managi and Nakiri Erina's God's Tongue Curse, Tanokoro Megumi's dropout crisis, Alice's concept of molecular cuisine, and Mito Yumei's research on rice bowls. Association events...

Anyway!

In the eyes of many people.

Zhang Fan is indeed the "Holy Son" who saves the world. Without him, the entire cooking world would be in need of jujube pills!

now.

As the late-night waiter incident continues to intensify.

The culinary and food industry has faced its greatest crisis and collapse.

Therefore, when she learned that Zhang Fan had accepted the halberd-eating challenge from the late-night cook leader, Erina was a little surprised at first, but in the end she was very happy.

Because she knew that Zhang Fan could definitely defeat them and save this decadent cooking era!

certainly.

She was also scared.

He was afraid that Zhang Fan would lose and the izakaya would go bankrupt.

…

"Zhang Fan."

"You can't lose, you absolutely can't lose!"

Finally, Erina, who was in a complicated mood, looked at Zhang Fanda with hazy eyes.

"You won't lose."

Zhang Fan just said lightly when he heard this.

The original owner Yukihira Soma was actually very average in talent and had no special ability to cook food.

But the key is to never give up. No matter how much stronger you are than him, he will eventually surpass you through continuous efforts and creativity. No matter if he fails hundreds or thousands of times during this period, he will become more courageous as he fights!

Obviously, this kind of person is very scary.

Yukihira Joichiro is very talented, but his mental quality is not strong, which indirectly affects many people.

so.

In the plot of the original work.

When Soma went to face Saiba Asahi, Joichiro once said that he admired his son Soma's strong psychology.

Therefore, whether Chuang Zhen is powerful or not depends entirely on the innovation in his mind, the cooking structure, and the number of failed products. It can be said that King Yao is really strong in heart. He constantly faces his own failures, and then innovates based on the experience of failure to create new and innovative products. Powerful dishes.

You can say that.

The initial lower limit of Chuangzhen is the lowest, but the growth and upper limit are definitely the highest.

His strongest point is his heart, his strong thirst for knowledge, and his huge potential.

From this point of view, Zhang Fan is quite creative. Although his eyes always stay on this small izakaya, he also has his own principles on many things and will never give up!

However, he is different from Chuangzhen.

At least in terms of talent, he is far superior to Soma.

…

Time passes slowly.

In the stillness of the night, when the last ray of sunset quietly disappears below the horizon, the sky slowly begins the night.

At this time, a bright moon rises quietly, as if it is the gentlest brushstroke between heaven and earth, gently dotting the dark blue sky.

The moonlight is like fine yarn.

Spread gently, it is not urgent or slow.

It is neither as bright as the sun nor as faint as the light of the stars.

Instead, it illuminates the road with just the right gentleness. The trees, houses, and paths all look soft and mysterious under the caress of the moonlight, as if they have been given another kind of life!

Between the moon and the sky.

The palace of gourmet food in the world of "Shoji no Soro".

Originally, it was a venue that could only be used when the "Totsuki Ten Heroes" were holding shokuji matches.

This is not only a respect for cooking skills, but also a respect for the first winner in history.

During the autumn competition, Alice Nakiri, Ryo Hayama, Ryo Kurokiba, Soma Yukihira and others all had a wonderful cooking showdown here!

However, after half a year, Yue Tianjian has reopened, and this Shoji Competition is also related to the future of the entire culinary world.

Therefore.

Almost all Totsuki students.

Many celebrities such as Curry Queen Sentata Natsume and Ori, as well as food writer Shingo Anton, the owner of Kita Gourmet Club, etc. also came to the scene to watch!

At the same time, Totsuki Academy will also broadcast the duel between Zhang Fan and Caibo Chaoyang to the entire Neon Kingdom through live broadcast.

……

Take a sea bream.

Then slap it hard on the chopping board, and the fish faints.

Then, it can be slaughtered.

First wash it, and then remove its internal organs.

After cutting, the sea bream is accurately divided into 4 large pieces. The fish bones are quickly pulled out by Saiba Chaoyang and completely separated.

"Huh?"

"Is this the knife skills of the leader of the late-night chefs?"

At this moment.

The former commander-in-chief Nakiri Senzaemon was inevitably stunned when he saw Saiba Chaoyang processing the sea bream.

The sharp knife skills, the unhesitating movements, never dragged, and were as smooth as flowing water, which made people stare at it.

"Huh?"

"Where have I seen such knife skills?"

Nakiri Leonora, covering her mouth, also showed an unbelievable expression.

Finally, under Saiba Chaoyang's superb knife skills, the fish meat was cut into crystal clear sashimi.

...

You can see that although the sashimi is stacked one on top of another.

But from the sashimi on top, everyone can still clearly see the appearance of the sashimi below, which is really very transparent.

Sashimi is eaten raw, so it has almost nothing to do with fire, but the test of knife skills has risen to the most stringent level.

Well!

There are probably dozens of knives related to fish processing alone.

For some special fish, such as eels, pufferfish, and tuna, there are special corresponding knives for disassembly, which is unique in the world.

However.

Caibo Chaoyang at this time.

His performance is enough to make everyone crazy.

It can be seen that when he handles various fish, he always uses a kitchen knife with a very strange shape.

"What's going on?"

"Can you use one knife to handle sea bream, salmon, mackerel, sea bass and other different fish at the same time?"

"Such a fast, sharp, domineering and ruthless knife skill!"

"Such knife skills alone are enough to make us far behind!"

At this time, many Totsuki students who were watching the game were intoxicated by Saiba Chaoyang's exquisite knife skills and could not extricate themselves.

If you say:

In this world, what knife skills are the most beautiful?

What knife skills are the most powerful?

The people present will definitely answer like this: Saiba Chaoyang, his knife skills are the best and most powerful.

The thin fish slices appeared in front of everyone one by one. And the sound of the extremely fast kitchen knife hitting the chopping board every time was like a joyful and beautiful song, which made people exclaim.

"That... isn't that my knife skills?"

Erina, who was standing next to Nakiri Senzaemon, looked at Saiba Chaoyang on the stage and was stunned.

…

In Japanese cuisine, there are systematic methods for cutting almost all the commonly used fish.

After hundreds of years of continuous summary and optimization, it has become very mature.

Therefore, knife skills are basically one of the most important criteria for measuring a chef, especially in sashimi, which is even more vivid.

Afterwards.

Cai Bo Chaoyang quickly cut the cut puffer fish skin into thin strips!

A dish of puffer fish sashimi includes puffer fish skin, puffer fish meat, and puffer fish liver...

However, puffer fish sashimi is generally cut thinner, but the puffer fish sashimi made by Si Yingshi is contrary to the norm and cuts a little thick, but it seems that this makes the puffer fish meat more tough.

"Puffer fish skin, puffer fish meat, and puffer fish liver?"

Nakiri Senzaemon, looking at this scene, can't help but frown and ponder.

Puffer fish skin.

Puffer fish meat.

These two are fine.

But the puffer fish liver is a bit daunting, after all, the toxins in this part are not so easy to deal with.

If the diners are not careful, they will be poisoned on the spot, and in serious cases, their lives will be in danger.

…

Finally.

A plate of brightly colored sashimi platter, when arranged like a landscape painting, is low in the front and high in the back.

A closer look shows that among the many fish slices, the most dazzling ones are those white sashimi such as sea bream and yellowtail with firm meat. Arranged according to the color of the sashimi, there is white sashimi on the left, red sashimi in the middle, and yellow sashimi on the right.

Obviously, in this sashimi platter, Saibo Chaoyang has pushed artistic aesthetics to a unique realm.

"Huh? This is..."

Nakiri Leonora was shocked, and her watery eyes were filled with incredible.

Sea bream.

Hairtail.

Bonito.

Mackerel.

Salmon.

Herring.

Yellowtail.

Salmon.

…

A rough calculation shows that there are at least 20 kinds of fish.

The amount of fish used in a plate of exquisite sashimi is enough to amaze everyone present!

What's more terrifying is that Cai Bo Chaoyang's knife skills have reached a superb level. Each piece of sashimi is cut into 10 grams. You should know that the size of each fish is different, and it is not easy to cut fish slices of uniform weight.

At the same time, the meat quality of different fish is also different.

If you want to cut fish slices of the same weight, naturally those with soft meat should be cut thicker.

Larger fish with firmer meat should be cut thinner.

Interestingly:

Slice thinly and place in front.

The red sashimi of tender tuna and salmon is cut into thick slices and placed at the back, like a carefully crafted potted plant.

beautiful!

It's so beautiful!

White fish flesh, red fish flesh, yellow fish flesh...

When each thin fish fillet of different types is placed on a plate of exquisite sashimi chowder, it glows even more under the light.

…

"Then I'm welcome."

Leonora Nakiri withdrew her shocked gaze and began to pick up a small piece of fish with her chopsticks.

However, at this moment, Zaiba Zhaoyang stopped Leonora: "Wait a minute, this plate of sashimi chowder is not finished yet, I need to add something."

"????"

Leonora looked confused.

Such a delicate and aesthetically pleasing sashimi chowder is still just an unfinished semi-finished product?

Um? Isn't it?

Does this guy have a trump card?

While Nakiri Onora was thinking wildly, Saiba Asahi started to put perilla leaves into the plate, and then continued to chop the ginger into fine pieces, cut the ginger into slices, and soaked it in ice water.

Finally, sprinkle the chopped ginger on the sashimi on the plate, place drained Japanese ginger slices next to the fish fillets, and garnish with cucumber flowers and coriander.

Such a sashimi chowder is more exquisite and more gorgeous when presented on the plate.

If:

What is God’s greatest work ever left in the world?

Then there is no doubt that it must be this sashimi chowder dish from Saiba Chaoyang.

Finally, Caiba Chaoyang touched the elastic fish fillet with his fingers, and everyone was stunned, and his fingers began to glow.

"Okay, it looks like this dish is finished."

Caibo Chaoyang, whose face was always covered, said in a silent tone.

…

Just rely on your fingers.

Can you feel the quality of a dish by touching the ingredients?

Such behavior and cognition naturally made the two judges, Leonora and Senzaemon, look at each other.

But at the moment, Zhang Fan's cooking has not yet been completed, so Leonora Nakiri can only start to pick up a small piece of sea bream fillet and chew it slowly.

How to eat sashimi.

Generally, the color goes from light to dark, so start with the lightest and whitest sashimi on the plate.

The reason is that light-colored sashimi has a lighter flavor. Eat it from light to strong so you don't have to worry about not being able to taste the delicious ingredients.

Generally speaking, the correct order is generally:

White fish, shellfish, red fish.

"really not bad!"

Leonora Nakiri said while eating: "The flesh of the sea bream is delicate, smooth, elastic, and the white flesh is crystal clear and round. Such excellent color and texture can only show that this is a high-quality sea bream."

"Yes, that's right. The texture and taste of this first bite are enough to leave a deep impression!"

Senzaemon next to him widened his eyes.

The next moment, he was naked. (End of chapter)
