"That's ...... Dried eel, right? Is he serious? Do you want to use dry goods as an ingredient? Ryo is good at fresh food, right? Moreover...... The title is a Western-style main dish, not soup! Liu Pleiades wondered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Although Kurokiba's dried eel is supposed to be raw fish, not salted fish, and it doesn't taste too salty, but if you use it as a Western-style main dish, it's not good on the taste, right?" Ryoko and others also had some doubts about this.

However, at this moment, Kurokiba Ryo took out another ingredient...... This time it's fresh eel!

"Hah! I'll just say it! It seems that dried eel should only be an auxiliary material...... Ha? Halfway through Daigo's words, he was slapped in the face by Kurokiba with practical actions.

I saw that after Kurokiba took out a few fresh eels, he picked up two thick-backed seafood knives, used both hands, and used the back of the knife to crush the eels with meat and bones!

After that, the chyme is boiled in a pre-prepared broth......

Alice seemed to know what Kurokiba Ryo was going to do, but instead looked at the other side curiously: "Ryo Hayama, that guy is weirder, right?" Turtle? Although he has always been confident in his use of spices and does not worry about the fishy smell of soft-shelled turtles, he ...... What can you cook a Western-style main dish with soft-shelled turtle? ”

Ye Shanliang was also not affected by the doubts at this time, but handled the soft-shelled turtle neatly, and had already cut off the carapace, took out the flesh of the soft-shelled turtle, and took out the internal organs and skin.

After adding a variety of spices to create a unique sauce with a high degree of whiskey, the dark green soft-shelled turtle gallbladder that was previously taken separately is torn apart and the bile is added to it......

The bile of the soft-shelled turtle is not bitter, and the addition of the soft-shelled turtle soup will enhance the umami of the soft-shelled turtle, and at the same time, the bile will be smeared on the soft-shelled turtle, which can neutralize the fishy smell.

The sauce with bile added to it was also brushed on the processed soft-shelled turtle meat by Ryo Hayama, and then let it stand.

On the other hand, Kurokiba began to soak the dried eel with the broth of boiled fresh eel, and began to prepare side dishes...... The ingredients are also all kinds of dried seafood!

And the side dish ingredient of Ryo Hayama is potatoes...... That is, potatoes!

"Potatoes? Turtle? Why do I have a strange feeling......" Liu said with an eyebrow.

Two hours later, with the last half hour before the time limit, Ryo Hayama had already prepared the hot oil, and after frying the fries, he put in the breaded soft-shelled turtle meat that had been cut and crumbed!

"Deep-fried soft-shelled turtle meat? Flavor...... Wouldn't it be weird? Daigo exclaimed.

"And the side dish is French fries, and the main ingredient is fried seafood...... Although it may seem strange to use soft-shelled turtles, it is actually considered a ...... Fish and chips, right? Shoji also spoke in a strange tone.

As a popular food for workers in Britain during the Industrial Revolution, fish and chips are in every way a source of spit!

The mere fact that it was born in the United Kingdom is enough to make people feel dark......

Although the world's cuisines have their own strengths, and at the same time, there are differences in food culture in various places, because of the differences in eating habits, simply refuting one cuisine is not a healthy concept as a chef in the era of world cuisine fusion.

But it's true that British cuisine has been the world's most unacceptable cuisine champion for several years......

Of course, British cuisine also has its own unique strengths, and the concept is biased towards pure raw ingredients, which are then eaten with their favorite sauces......

"If you insist on saying that fish and chips belong to a Western-style main dish, I really feel like I want to complain, but I don't know how to refute it......" Hinata couldn't help but say.

"The students of this Yuanyue ...... It's fun! Dojima Silver didn't know if it was an appreciation.

However, whether it is these doubts or complaints, all of them disappeared after Ye Shan Liang's first piece of soft-shelled turtle meat wrapped in a layer of breadcrumbs was put into the pot!

"It's ...... The umami of the soft-shelled turtle is completely integrated with the aroma of spices! ”

"It's been able to do it to this extent! He is a spice expert with the 'smell of the gods'! ”

"At first, I felt that this aroma was a little stimulating for the 'Western-style main course', but the hidden mellow aroma made people look forward to the taste of the actual tasting, has the 'aroma' and 'taste' been separated to a certain extent?"

"Did you conquer the audience with your aroma in an instant? It's not so much a spice master, but a spice king......"

Yuhime twitched her nose, wanting to challenge the judgment of spices: "Coriander, fennel, oregano...... And also...... Damn it! I can't tell the difference! "But in the end, it was clear that he gave up.

But Liu Pleiades continued: "Cinnamon, basil, ginger, turmeric, laurel, and yangsu leaves...... On the one hand, it balances the fishy smell of soft-shelled turtle, and on the other hand, there are a small amount of spices that stimulate the appetite, and the whisky as a sauce base makes the aroma extra mellow as a high-quality liquor......"

Although Liu Pleiades didn't know how many were missing, he understood that he couldn't analyze them all in an instant.

It's not because Ryo Hayama's spice use skills have improved by leaps and bounds in a few days, but because of the use of soft-shelled turtle bile!

Although the effect of bile now also belongs to spices, this animal-type spice is a mixture of a variety of different molecular components, in the construction of a unique fragrance, Liu Pleiades's "spice multiple inequality", now still on this composition, changes too complex spice judgment, there are some shortcomings.

In this kind of fragrance that requires exponential overcalculation, the intuition that Ye Shanliang cultivates every day with spices is better than Liu Pleiades's "spice multiplicity inequality".

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if I found this, Ye Shanliang seems to have found a weapon to defeat Liu Pleiades in the use of spices!

Different from Liu Pleiades's stunt "Spice Multiple Inequality", Ye Shanliang's direction of efforts is the true pinnacle of spice "spice essence......

While the audience was dominated by the aroma of Ryo Hayama, Kurokiba became more and more inconspicuous, silently wrapping the soaked eel and some seafood balls as a side dish in oven paper and tying them into the shape of a lucky bag.

"Is Kurokiba alright? Could it be that it was affected by the atmosphere off the field? Yuki asked.

Alice was not worried: "No, the current coolness will not be affected by anything!" All his attention was on the cooking table! ”

"Yes, it's a great focus...... It's a pity! Liu Pleiades said.

"Huh? Don't you like Liang this game? Alice wondered.

"No, this competition is not until the end, no one will judge the winner, but ...... I mean 'pity' in another sense. ”

Liu Pleiades has discovered that in terms of concentration, Kurokiba Ryo in a combat state has stood at the peak of his life.

surpassed Ye Shanliang and Liu Pleiades, and has reached the basic standard of being able to condense the "prototype of the kitchen heart", but it still has not condensed the "prototype of the kitchen heart", otherwise this competition will be stable!

Could it be that this kind of behavior of "hiding" the combat form in normal times helps to improve concentration?

Of course, Ye Shan Liang is the same, realizing that not only "spices" can play the role of "spices", but also towards the "essence of spices".

If he has mastered the "Spice Essence", Kurokiba has no chance of winning......

But the two of them are still one step away from each other, so the final result Liu Pleiades didn't dare to say lightly, the only thing that can be confirmed is that both of them are indeed stronger than the original timeline!

As Ryo Hayama finished the code disc, Rei Kawashima's voice also sounded: "The second semi-final of the autumn selection tournament has reached the final stage!" Ye Shan Liang has already presented the food, who will qualify for the final against Liu Pleiasal in the final? Let's wait and see! ”

Kadozaki looked at the plate in front of him, there were a few pieces of fried turtle meat, and thumb thick fries as a side dish, next to three distinct dipping sauces, and couldn't help but say, "This is your dish?" ”

"That's right, soft-shelled turtle version of fish and chips, please try it!" Ye Shan Liang said.

Kadozaki was full of doubts about "fish and chips" in her heart, but the previous dominant-level aroma tore a crack in her full doubts......

Gently using a fork, he picked up a piece of soft-shelled turtle meat, the crispiness of the breadcrumbs and the softness of the meat inside, instantly made the judges' eyes shine.

"Sure enough, the soft-shelled turtle meat is cooked before it is floured, and this softness makes people want to swallow it in a mouthful!" Kikuchi said in the garden.

The first piece of soft-shelled turtle meat of the five judges chose to ignore the dipping sauce and put it directly in the mouth to feel the original taste......

"Hmm...... With this fluffy and crispy texture, it's hard to imagine that soft-shelled turtle meat is the ingredient! ”

"Soft-shelled turtle meat is also called 'five-flavor meat' in Chinese cuisine because it has the flavor of chicken, deer, beef, sheep, and pig at the same time, but in fact, there are too few people who can make soft-shelled turtle dishes express all five flavors...... But in this fried soft-shelled turtle, I seem to have really tasted five distinct flavors! ”

"That's right, by using spices to separate the five flavors of soft-shelled turtle, I can't imagine that you can make the soft-shelled turtle meat in the form of deep-frying......

"The aroma of Scotch whisky, which is unique to the UK, also solves the problem of greasy taste, and makes people want to eat it one after another!"

Of course, the judges were still restrained, tasting the effect of each dipping sauce in the back......

And as a spice expert, three kinds of dipping sauces are naturally Hayama Liang's strengths!

"Ahh This orange sauce is...... Fruit sauce? The sweet and sour taste of various tropical fruits, as well as the aroma after fermentation, can be so compatible with fish and chips! ”

"The red is Thai chutney! It's like a dynamite keg, but in the midst of this intense stimulation, there seems to be a deeper aroma that you can't help but reminisce......"

"The white ones are ...... French salad dressing, salad oil, tomato sauce, white vinegar and minced onion, with a five-flavor turtle skirt is really ......"

"And that's not all! Not only the fried soft-shelled turtle, but also the French fries, when combined with three sauces, can taste the pure deliciousness with the thick texture of the potato, so that you can get used to the taste of the five-flavor meat and feel a new impact! ”

The five judges seemed to see that Ye Shan Liang was made on a thick armored car-like soft-shelled turtle, and three cannon barrels stretched out on the back of the armored car-like soft-shelled turtle.

"Balance! A dish that balances both 'offense' and 'defense'! Dojima Silver finally said.

And at this moment, Kurokiba Ryo, who was still not discouraged, also served the food.

In each plate, soaked oven paper is tied in the shape of a lucky bag......

"Hey, stinky little ghost, can you get us the food ready? Do you want us to untie it ourselves? Kadozaki said unhappily.

"Shut up! Eight women, now、Untie the paper bag for me honestly, and get ready to taste the real deliciousness! "Kurokiba in the form of a battle naturally chose a frontal hard anal......

"Eight, eight women? You little...... Don't think that if you're still a student, you can just mess around! Do you want me, as a senior, to teach you what etiquette is? ”

Kadozaki Taki and Kurokiba in battle form, the two shakers touched each other, and sure enough, they hit sparks full of gunsmoke.

However, the other judges obviously didn't care about the smell of gunpowder, but whether the food on the plate was delicious or not!

"Alright, Kanozaki, let's do the judging! When you were a student, you were as rude as him, right? Dojima Silver said.

Hearing that Dojima had spoken, Kadozaki had no choice but to sit back angrily and untie the paper bag angrily.

Suddenly, a strong smell of aquatic products poured out of the paper bag......

"Well, it tastes good, but because of the fish and chips before, it's still ...... It feels a little ordinary. Kadozaki said.

Although he won't lie about tasting, Kadozaki doesn't miss any opportunity to hit the other party, who told Kurokiba to offend her before?

Although the other judges did not speak, they actually thought so in their hearts.

However, even though they were a little disappointed, the five judges, including Kadozaki Taki, still started to use their knives and forks and began to taste the food, after all, this is their responsibility as judges!

Yuhime looked at Kurokiba's cuisine from a distance and said, "This is grilled dried eel?" ”

"From the perspective of Chinese cuisine, this method should be similar to 'steaming', which is heated by using the water vapor in the paper bag after the oven is heated." Liu Pleiades always believes that this kind of "roasting" should not be simply translated as "roasting".

Of course, it doesn't matter what kind of cooking it is, the important thing is that the judges' expressions change dramatically after tasting it!

Originally, it was just a routine tasting, but I didn't expect it......

"This eel...... Still alive? ”

"Not only is it still alive, it's like it's like living from the Jurassic era to the present!"

"It's just baked in the oven, but it doesn't taste dry at all, but it looks like a live eel...... No, it's more delicious and juicy than live eel! ”

"And eight seafood balls...... They are made with dried goods from sea cucumber, shark fin, abalone, scallops, crabs, shrimp, squid, and flounder! When the eel is steamed and grilled in a paper bag with the eel that seems to have been resurrected from ancient times, the umami has become one, and this feeling is ......."

"Beast Grade...... No! It's a monster-level delicacy! ”

The five judges seemed to see that Godzilla, wearing a turban, was wreaking havoc among the buildings, and Ryo Hayama's three-cannon armored fish chariot was coming in groups to fight Godzilla, and the battle between the two sides was inseparable......

Kurokiba then said, "Of course, the dried eel is not soaked in water, but in a broth made from eight other kinds of dried seafood, and the soup after boiling the fresh eel meat puree and crushed bones to soak it!" Before sealing it in a paper bag, the surface of the dried eel is smeared with gelatinous eel from the eel bladder and crushed into it......

When baking, the water vapor in the paper bag is heated, and the colloids seep into the eel, restoring its fresh taste! And there is still a concentrated umami flavor unique to dry goods! ”

"As for the eight kinds of seafood meatballs...... Kurokiba said, glancing in the direction of Liu Pleiades, and then continued: "It was a special side dish inspired by Liu Pleiades when I participated in the seafood pastry competition with Liu Pleiades!" By the way, they actually use the same ingredients used to make the dashi! ”

Seeing that the five judges did not react, Kurokiba said unhappily: "Hey! What are you thinking? Hear me speak no! ”

Not to mention Kurokizaba, even if Rei Kawashima announced that the judges could start deciding the winner, the five judges were still silent, as if they were entangled...... (To be continued.) )
