CH.189 Civilian Cuisine

"Hmph! Sure enough, it's civilian food again. Erina crossed her arms around her chest and snorted coldly.

"Erina, I remember that ramen itself is a civilian dish, right? Many chefs like to pull carts and sell ramen in the streets and alleys, which is cheap and delicious, and is the first choice of many civilians, am I right?" Zheng Ke said with squinted eyes.

"You...... How do you know this?" Erina didn't expect Zheng Ke to know so much knowledge related to Japanese ramen.

"Please, I'm also a chef, so of course I need to know something. Zheng Ke said helplessly.

"Yes...... It's civilian cuisine, so what's the matter?" asked Erina with a tense face.

"Different cuisines have different characteristics. If you don't know ramen well, it's easy to make mistakes. Zheng Ke explained.

"Hey, Scarlet Sand is a student of Yuanyue School Park, how can he not even make ramen. Erina glanced at Zheng Ke with the white of her eyes.

"The autumn selection competition is not about who makes the best cooking, but who makes the better cooking! To be honest, Zheng Ke was also curious about what this very civilian-looking ramen would taste like.

Miyagawa picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and chewed carefully, the gravy and delicious fish meat were mixed together, and the fragrant taste instantly spread all over the body, and the crispy fish skin and tender and delicate fish meat hovered over the taste buds, making people irresistible.

"It's a delicious flavor that is immersive...... This fish meat is ...... Youyu?" Miyagawa looked at Kohei Soma in surprise.

"Yes, this fish is indeed oily. Kohei smiled lightly.

"It turned out to be Youyu. Zheng Ke touched his chin and pondered slightly.

Youyu, also known as Yuyu, is a kind of white-fleshed fish that has been counted, the meat is soft and delicious, especially in summer, when the taste of Youyu is the most delicious. Although we are now in September, the umami taste of the oil has not yet passed. Kohei chose Yuyu precisely because it was its last delicious season.

Zheng Ke looked at the ramen of Xingping on the big screen, and after a little contemplation, he suddenly realized, "I see!"

"What do you mean?" Erina looked at Zheng Ke like a fool.

"The way of interspersing grilled fish, the method of 'double-sided roll' used by Kohei to grill fish. Zheng Ke explained.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to intersperse grilled fish, one is to roll up from both sides of the head and tail, and use a skewer to intersperse the rolled parts, which is called double-sided rolling, and the other is to roll up from the tail to the other side, and then skewer with a grilling stick.

If you were an ordinary chef, you might not pay too much attention to details, but Kohei Soma obviously put a lot of thought into it for this dish, trying to be as detailed as possible.

After Zheng Ke's reminder, Erina also noticed this.

"You give this fish a slender body and thin flesh, and he does it...... Is it for the sake of beauty?" Erina hesitated.

"That's right! When you use a double-sided roll, the fish expands outwards when grilled, making it thicker and less thin. Erina, it seems that even if it is a civilian meal, it is very important to put it on the plate. Zheng Ke hit back at Erina's words yesterday.

"Hmph! These things are useless to make. Ultimately, the outcome of the competition depends on the quality of the food. Erina retorted.

That's not what you said yesterday.

Zheng Ke rolled his eyes depressedly.

The judges' review of the dish continued, with one judge scooping up the yolk with a spoon and putting it in his mouth.

The soft yolk is slightly bitten by the teeth and immediately flows in all directions, like a boiled egg, and the tender taste reverberates between the mouth and the nose.

"This egg is so soft, and the umami of the yolk is well preserved, and the taste of the yolk is delicious in your mouth. The judge closed his eyes and felt the impact of the deliciousness.

Kohei really listened to the judge's words and rubbed his nose, "Actually, this egg is not fully cooked, or to be precise, it is only the yolk that is fully cooked, but the egg white is not cooked, so the umami of the egg yolk is far more than that of ordinary egg yolk." ”

"Huh, what do you mean?" the judge didn't react for a moment, and looked at Kohei Soma suspiciously.

"The setting temperature of egg whites and egg yolks is not the same. Kohei Sojin only said one sentence, and the others immediately reflected.

"Are you taking advantage of the difference in freezing points?" said the judges, surprised.

"That's right, egg yolks will set between 65-70 degrees Celsius, while egg whites will set at 70-80 degrees Celsius. Kohei Chuangzhen grinned.

In order to make such an ordinary dish, I thought of such a meticulous ...... The audience immediately fell silent.

Kohei's cooking seems to be more powerful than expected.

Standing in the center of the arena, Shinto Scarlet Sha also unknowingly shed a cold sweat.

Damn, this Xinghei Chuangzhen, is it ...... No, he can't beat me.

"So...... What does this bowl of noodle soup taste like?" Miyagawa looked at the clear noodle soup, couldn't hold it anymore, and picked up the porcelain bowl.

Among the ramen, side dishes, and soups, the soup that can cause the most direct impact on people is the soup, so Miyagawa is also very curious about the taste of this bowl of noodle soup.

The soup entered the stomach with the throat, and Miyagawa's whole body became refreshed.

Unlike the rich ramen noodle soup of Babao chicken, Kohei's noodle soup has a different lightness, but when you drink it, the flavor of the flavor lingers in the taste buds for a long time.

"The taste is ...... No, it is a soup based on the juice. Miyagawa was surprised.

The juice from kombu and bonito flakes is used as the base of the soup, and the juice from the boiling mushrooms is added to the soup, and then boiled with mirin and thin soy sauce.

"The soup has a rich flavor because of the bonito flakes, and the sauce is a mixture of thin soy sauce and mirin, and the mushroom soak contains a mellow aroma...... The sauce, which looked unusually thin, became thick after the combination of various ingredients, especially the slightly sour taste in the soup, which stimulated people's appetite......!

"Yuzu contains a variety of inorganic salts of citric acid, which can help digestion and increase appetite. Kohei Soma said confidently.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Nagi Senzaemon, and his opinion would directly determine the outcome of the game.
