Chapter 506: Ryo Hayama's Spice Control
Marui Zenji said to Ibu Saki, "It's really unlucky...... You, who pursue mysticism, have finally shown your strength once, and it looks like you are going to be suppressed. ”
"Aren't you also never easy to show your 'fangs'?" Ibu Saki said silently.
However, the two of them are still convinced by Mito Yumei and Misaku's cuisine.
The portion that Misaku reserved for Chihuo, Chihuo himself just tasted the taste casually.
Then, Zenji Marui and Jun Ibuzaki also tasted it.
And Mito Yumei needless to say, Polestar Liao is different from the original plot, they are now closer to each other, they usually cooperate often, and they are very clear about each other's level.
After being affected by the Red Fire, Mito Yumei, who joined Polestar Liao as in the original story, also became stronger.
"It's been possible to achieve this level with meat alone, and if you can ...... other ingredients as well"
"No, maybe it's because of the pursuit of the ultimate in meat cooking that I have reached this level!"
The lecturers' views on Mito's Yumei have also changed a lot.
Before, in the hearts of the lecturers, although Mito Yumei was also one of the first-line students who were very good, she was a little biased, and she was not considered top-notch.
Now Mito Yumei really has a status in the hearts of the lecturers and is comparable to the top students!
The students once gave Mito the nickname "Meat Invader", but now it is estimated that this nickname may be about to change......
"Hey, is it just the second?" Mito Yumei still looks a little dissatisfied.
However, at this time, Ye Shan Liang made a move, he looked at Chihuo and Kohei Chuangzhen and said, "Since you are not going to go first, then I will come first!" ”
As he spoke, he placed five soup cups covered with a layer of puff pastry in front of the five judges, and the soup cups looked very small, and the "puff pastry" on the outside looked like small portions of cake.
"Huh? Originally, you used sea bream head, and I thought it was a very rugged style of cooking, but it was actually ...... So small? Minasaka said in amazement.
As a seed player before, the ingredients used by Ryo Hayama have also attracted everyone's attention, and the main ingredient is the fish head of a sea bream, which is obviously to boil the curry fish head soup.
"Is it puff pastry soup? And this layer of puff pastry on top ...... Seems to be roasted naan? Kada Shigenojin gently tapped the roasted naan on the front with the back of the spoon.
Puff pastry soup, created by Paul Bocuse, a famous French chef in modern times, is characterized by a cake-like pastry similar to a mille-feuille, which is baked into a fluffy puff pastry, which can condense the aroma of the dish inside!
"That's right, it's naan as a puff pastry soup, please use a spoon, press the top puff pastry into the soup below, and eat!" Ryo Hayama said, and also brought a bowl to Chihuo and Kohei Chuangzhen.
"Huh? The two of us only have one bowl...... It's still such a small bowl......" Chihuo complained.
Regarding Chihuo's complaints, Ye Shan Liang said that he turned a blind eye!
The most common way to eat puff pastry soup is to use a knife and fork to remove the whole puff pastry along the edge of the soup bowl, divide it into pieces, and then decide whether to eat it with the soup, soak it whole in the soup, or eat it while drinking the soup......
However, since Ye Shanliang has already said it, naturally, including Chihuo and the five judges, they all chose to do it.
Just as Chihuo crushed the puff pastry on top with a spoon, a real aroma explosion came!
This is especially true in the judges' seats, which are obviously far away, but this time even the audience can clearly smell the smell.
Although, the previous few contestants who scored high, except for Mito Yumei, who chose to have a restrained smell, other people's cuisine, even the audience in the arena can smell it.
In particular, the explosive aroma of Misaku's Pleiades can be smelled even by the audience in the last row.
However, those are not clear, just like a patient with high myopia who looks at a person dozens of meters away, it can be seen that it is a "person", but no one can recognize it.
However, the aroma of Ryo Hayama's cuisine impactfully conveys the spicy aroma to the nose of each audience, and through the sense of smell, the appetite of all the audience is stimulated.
The most rare thing is that this kind of spicy fragrance that amazes the audience, Chihuo, Kohei Soma, and the five judges smell it closely, but at the same time it is stimulating, it feels mellow and will not be choked......
This is also the performance of Ye Shanliang's control of spices, which has entered the house!
After the naan is crushed, it is dipped in a curry that is infused with the purifying and delicious taste of the fish head, and the first dish prepared by Ryo Hayama is "curry fish head soup", but with the boiling and the final roasting, it is already gelatinized with the egg whites of the fish head, containing the fluid between the soup and the sauce that has been fluffy and the fish bones.
A spoonful of naan is pressed into the curry and placed in your mouth along with the curry...... The appetite that had been aroused by the "True Taste Bomb" was immediately satisfied!
"The grilled naan is in the mouth with the curry miso soup...... Indescribably wonderful! ”
"The variety of spices is varied and deep, but at the same time, they all work together, promoting each other, rather than canceling each other out......"
"And the texture of this crispy and soft fish bone is impeccable in addition to the spices!"
Qianyu Xia Ya suddenly glared, as if she had discovered something incredible, and said, "Wait, the core of this fragrance is...... Holy Basil! ”
After being reminded, Kada Shigeyujin immediately understood: "Holy basil, known as a sacred herb in India, is a medicine used in the ancient Indian medicine of the Aaron Veda for a variety of diseases......"
"That's right, that's exactly what it tastes like! I once visited the flower garden of holy basil once in India...... It's this kind of sweet feeling that will flow through the whole body when you smell it! Minasaka Roll Blade also said.
"However, holy basil should have few fresh purchase channels in the island country, and it can't be grown, right?" As a giant of curry products, Chitari Xia Ya still has a good understanding of the situation of various spices.
"No, Professor Shiomi's spice workshop has already developed a year-round cultivation method...... But the method is a trade secret! Ye Shan Liang said.
Only then did everyone think about it, behind Ye Shan Liang, there is another person who can be called an authoritative Shiomi Jun in spice theory!
"Holy Basil? What is it? Is it about the same as basil? Mito asked in a whisper.
Hearing this, Chihuo replied: "Basil is actually divided into many kinds, in the spices of Italian cuisine, basil refers to sweet basil, which is also what we usually call 'basil', and in Western cuisine, there is also a kind of lemon basil that is also widely used......
"As for holy basil, it is a sweet flavor that is native to India and far surpasses the former, and it is called the spice of the sacred grass! However, it is not generally difficult to use, and is usually only used for medicinal or ornamental purposes, and is mostly used for seasoning cold cuts, rather than cooking. He added.
"Huh? Nahayama ......," Mito hesitated.
"Well, Ryo Hayama has harnessed the power of Holy Basil that can be used as a 'sharp knife' in cooking, and the secret should lie in ...... Yogurt bar! Chihuo looked at Ye Shan Liang and said with a smile.
Ye Shanliang couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Sure enough, do you see it?" Yes, yogurt gives holy basil an overly strong aroma that does not spoil the flavor of other spices, and nutritionally speaking, yogurt can promote the body's absorption of curcumin in spices, which is a good thing to cleanse the liver and detoxify...... But when you went to the spice research institute to get spices, you also got some fresh 'holy basil', right? I'm curious, how do you use it? ”
"Red Fire, you also use Holy Basil?" Zenji Marui, who also knew how difficult it was to apply this thing in cooking, couldn't help but ask in shock.
"You'll find out later, maybe I just got it out of curiosity?" Chihuo sold a Guan Zidao.
And that's when the judges' scoring began!
As far as the eye can see, I saw two zero eggs appear...... Of course, there is a "2" in front of it! The other three have 18 points.
"It's a perfect score! In the fall tryouts, a rare perfect score appeared! And there are two judges, both of whom gave full marks! Even Yuai Sasaki was a little excited.
"In this way, Ryo Hayama has the highest score of 94 points so far, ranking first!" With Yuai Sasaki's speech, I saw that 88 points were also kicked out of the top four!
The second place Kurokiba Ryo has 93 points, and the third place is Mito Yu Mei and Misaku Pleiades tied for 92 points.
