"The flour has been brought—"

Natsuki Kashimoto came back with the ingredients very neatly.

This cockscomb head youth, and Xia Yu, is a trainee in the same period as Chiyo Shrine, but time has passed, and Natsuki has not really entered the special grade, but Xia Yu has already challenged the older generation of Taishan.

In the monastery, he did not wear monk's clothes, just like a young man on the street of the city, dressed in daily casual clothes. Natsuki put down half a bag of flour, smiled again, and showed a closed food box.

"Xia Yu, I knew you were interested in 'looking up at the starry sky', cough, so I also prepared a salted fish for you, so let's discuss the true way of dark cuisine together-"

Natsuki Shomoto looked earnest.

"Huh?"

Xia Yu interrupted his thoughts and blinked, "Salted fish, looking up at the starry sky?"

The corner of his eye twitched.

Such a famous dark dish that makes people feel strongly uncomfortable just by hearing it, can you mention it less?

"Hey, you might have misunderstood!"

"Huh?"

On the contrary, Natsuki was shocked, "You want flour when you see me, don't you want to discuss dark cuisine with me?"

“……”

Shirt Motoliu's 'looking up at the starry sky', he knew that at the Chiyo Shrine, Xia Yu had been taught.

Flour and salted fish are the main ingredients.

The two are matched to form a new style of 'looking up at the starry sky', cough!

Xia Yu finally knew why this product couldn't break through to the special grade.

Nima, how can there be a serious chef who talks about 'dark cuisine' every day.

But the enthusiasm in Xia Shu's eyes does not seem to be fake.

My God, Xia Yu mourned silently for the position of the "senior brother" of this generation of Shilin Temple, and it is estimated that a real old monk and Aoki Sota have such a strange problem with their own court, and they are also very headaches.

"I want flour, I'm going to make handmade ramen!" Xia Yu explained with a smile, "This is my personal cooking practice, and it has nothing to do with dark cuisine!"

"Ahh

Natsuki suddenly slumped his shoulders and sighed with regret.

The pain of losing his soulmate, Xia Yu didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, he waved his hand, "Okay, you have something to go, if you want to see it, give me the truth!"

Natsuki opened his mouth to preach, just like Xia Yu's first night at Shilin Temple, he muttered to Xia Yu, bragging about the appearance of his dark works, and when he heard the words, he immediately swallowed the words back into his stomach.

He's not stupid, his IQ is online.

Even if it's not your own 'way of darkness', it's a great blessing to be able to observe a master and cook on the spot at such a close distance.

Right.

Natsuki was peaceful, and he didn't feel inexplicable jealousy and hostility because Xia Yu was younger than him and he was still cooking and he didn't have any scum left.

The mentality and figure have been lowered, and the aura of the master of the young man in front of him cannot be ignored no matter what.

Xia Yu began to pour flour and make it by hand.

He was not in a hurry, staring at the high-quality flour with a delicate texture in the cooking basin, and contemplation was written on his face.

Since it's wabi-sabi ramen, you have to give your own perception of wabi-sabi to the cuisine.

In fact, this is the meaning of food.

In other words, it is the creation of "meaning".

This "meaning" is in the "color, fragrance, form and meaning".

"The wabi-sabi on the first floor, 'in the middle of the show', made me deliberately make the food ugly, and then it tasted amazing? God, this is too real to fit my philosophy. ”

"The wabi-sabi on the second layer, 'the passage of time', is also superficial. ”

"That thing, since it was named and said that it was going to eat 'wabi-sabi' with the freshness of the times, it was the understanding of the poem 'Wan Mu Chun in front of the sick tree'!"

Xia Yu's brain is running at high speed.

I know the third layer of 'wabi-sabi', but how do you operate it in actual cooking?

In other words, what kind of cooking skills should he use to realize the connotation of the poem 'Ten Thousand Trees in Front of the Sick Tree'.

A bowl of ramen can be roughly divided into: noodles, soup, and vegetables.

Then, there's the taste part: flavoring, seasoning.

In fact, more than 100 years ago, ramen was introduced to the island country from Yokohama Chinatown, and after a series of improvements to the taste of neon people, it became a popular food such as Japanese ramen, which is popular all over the world.

In China, ramen is made by intricate hand-drawn noodles after the chefs have mixed them.

In Neon, ramen noodles are cut with a knife, or simply with a dough sheeter, which is convenient and fast.

Both are "ramen", but because of the alkaline water, they have a different texture.

But really, ramen hasn't changed much.

The roots are there!

"So, if I want to make the old tree bloom and rejuvenate, I don't want to change the ramen, but I look at a bowl of ramen as a whole!"

"The freshness of the times, the vitality of the times...... Just create it in soups, dishes, or flavors and seasonings!"

The construction drawings in Xia Yu's mind gradually became clear.

The corners of his mouth quickly hooked up a refreshing smile.

Pregnant!

Perhaps, when chewing, the mouth can easily develop wabi-sabi emotions. But this is only a change in the 'dish' part, do you want to use the knife again for the soup and seasoning part?" Xia Yu pointed at the cooking skill column.

Following the explosion, the spice inequality also broke through and reached the source.

Is it time to play out?

Xia Yu's eyes looked quite cautious.

……

When Sota Aoki and Abbot Kazuma arrived in the kitchen, Xia Yu had already made the noodles, and the pot for boiling the soup base was also set up on a modern stove.

At this time, the stove was blazing, and there was a slight twisted mist on the stock pot.

What really made the two of them stop and show surprise was the "side dish" that Xia Yu was making for ramen.

The side dishes of Japanese ramen are well-known, and there are only a few.

Tender bamboo shoots, red ginger, seaweed.

Soft-boiled eggs.

And...... Japanese-style barbecued pork!

Such as tender bamboo shoots, ginger and shallots, Xia Yu will definitely not be able to make big changes.

And the soft-hearted eggs, but the space is too narrow.

The only thing left is barbecued pork!

Now Xia Yu is making his own unique barbecued pork in a way that others can't understand.

In fact, I watched a lot of dramas, and saw the round, round and round Japanese-style barbecued pork on the screen, this kind of barbecued pork often appears with ramen, which can be called a CP match, even Xia Yu himself used to be extremely curious, 'Japanese-style barbecued pork', how to make it?

It doesn't seem to be just frying.

Tender and juicy.

But eating Japanese food, eating ramen, and the scarce two or three pieces of meat are too picky, and they don't satisfy their cravings at all.

So later, Xia Yu specifically consulted the old man, which was one of the few culinary consultations before he officially started the awakening system.

Japanese-style barbecued pork, especially pay attention to knife skills.

First of all, a whole piece of pork belly, or plum blossom meat, is unfolded and cut into large slices, and the thickness must be uniform to keep it finger thick.

The thickness and cross-section are the details of the knife work.

Then, the meat is minced with a wooden hammer, but not minced, like a steak tendon is shattered.

The second is to wrap "zongzi"!

The meat was rolled up, the cotton rope was tied tightly, and it looked like a zongzi.

The next step is nothing more than frying the 'meat dumplings', after frying, stewing, and boiling for 3 consecutive heat links, at least one to two hours, a Japanese-style barbecued pork, is considered to be done.

And now, Xia Yu's approach is very "simple" in the eyes of Natsuki Shimoto, Sota Aoki, and the old monk Yizhen!

He sliced the pork first, although the slices of pork were also Japanese-style barbecued pork, familiar round slices, but the steps were ......

Natsuki sighed and said, "Shouldn't you make a 'meat roll' first, fry and stew it, and then refrigerate it for a while before you can slice it with a knife?"

"'Japanese barbecued pork' in the conventional sense of the word, this must be done. ”

Sota Aoki muttered, "Because, after frying and stewing, at least one hour of heat, not to mention the meat slices, the 'meat rolls' tied tightly with cotton ropes will become very fragile. When sliced with a knife, the meat slices have a high rate of breakage, even if the chef has more skillful knife skills. ”

Refrigeration, for 'Japanese-style barbecued pork', is equivalent to the meaning of a fixed form.

However, Xia Yu's processing steps are completely chaotic, first sliced, so that the 'meat rolls' do not exist, so that the meat slices are crushed into slag after high-intensity frying and stewing, and it is not difficult to predict.

Xia Yu cut the meat, and didn't forget to look up at the three of them, and found that they wanted to talk and stopped, which was doubly interesting.

Who said I was going to make 'Japanese barbecued pork'?

Since it is going to change, then it will simply become 'Xia's barbecued pork'!

Hey, and ah, there's wabi-sabi!

Break the game here!

The surface is the "sick tree".

As for the freshness and vitality of time, let's create it with barbecued pork.
