Chapter 117: Charcoal-grilled natto, white udon
"Hmm...... Is it a bean curry, a work similar to chickpea curry, which uses Indian beans? β
A pair of middle-aged men with upturned mustaches said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He is a famous gourmet, Shigeyuki Koda!
"What chickpeas, this is clearly natto, okay! With your eyesight, you still call yourself a gourmet? β
At this time, an indifferent voice came, and it was Jun Yixie who spoke.
"Natto?"
When the middle-aged man with a beard heard this, he was first startled, and then his beard trembled with anger.
"It's really natto ......"
Several of the other judges had strange faces, and they picked up a small ball of natto with chopsticks.
This stickiness, the sticky silk between the beans and the beans, is not natto!
"Chickpeas, also known as chicken peas, are shaped like chicken hearts, although they are the same as soybeans, the color is yellow, but you won't be mistaken, right?"
Jun Yixie said indifferently, making the middle-aged man with a beard who claimed to be a gourmand turn pale for a while.
"You...... Who are you? No name, no surname, dare to share a table with us?! β
The bearded man's eyebrows almost stood up and he scolded loudly.
However, Jun Yixie didn't pay attention to him at all.
Fang Cai is not Jun Yixie's thorn, but to slightly correct the mistakes of the bearded man.
Mistaking natto for chickpeas is no one.
"White, hot rice topped with a layer of yellow natto and topped with a pinch of green green onions."
"In terms of visual impact, although it is not as good as Kurokiba Ryo Ise Lobster French cuisine and the fleshy Dongpo meat curry rice, it is plain and fresh, which is not bad."
Jun Yixie didn't pay attention to the bearded man anymore, and his eyes fell on the dish on the plate.
I scooped a small ball of rice and natto with a spoon and put it in my mouth, chewing it with my teeth.
"It's ......"
Jun Yixie's eyes widened slightly, the softness of the rice and the viscosity of natto were intertwined, and the tip of the tongue was slightly stimulated, and there was a faint aroma of rice and sweetness of beans, diffuse and rich.
"This ...... This isn't your average natto. β
The bearded man's beard trembled, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at the cook.
Just as the other party was about to answer, the bearded man suddenly stopped him, looked at Jun Yixie, and the corners of his mouth curled.
"I don't know much about natto in Japan, but I see that you are very proficient in natto cuisine, so why don't you explain it to us?"
When the bearded man said this, he not only explained the joke that he had mistaken natto for chickpeas before, but also quietly embarrassed Jun Yixie.
Jun Yixie smiled, how naΓ―ve and clumsy the bearded man's thoughts were in his eyes.
But Jun Yixie didn't have the idea of arguing with the bearded man, but just said lightly: "This is natto that has been burned by charcoal." β
"That's right, it's charcoal ripening natto."
The chef looked at Jun Yixie in surprise, but he didn't expect her "secret technique" to be easily recognized by the other party.
Jun Yixie continued: "Put the soybeans attached to the natto fungus in the basement, grill them continuously with charcoal, and ...... the temperature and humidity in the room."
Jun Yixie said slowly, and under the verification of the chef, it was exactly the same.
The bearded man became more and more frightened, and a cold sweat was left on his forehead.
"But...... No, that's not all, what about this sweetness that swirls on the tip of the tongue. β
The blonde beauty judge, known as the curry queen, asked in surprise.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's soy sauce koji, right?"
Jun Yixie smiled faintly and answered her doubts for this arrogant blonde woman.
"That's right, it's soy sauce koji."
Soy sauce koji is a seasoning made by adding soy sauce to rice koji, mixing it until it is paste, and then leaving it at room temperature for several weeks to ferment.
The chef looked incredulous, and glanced at Jun Yixi, but he didn't expect Jun Yixie to even discover her most hidden taste.
The tongue of God?
The chef thought of Alice, known as the "tongue of the gods", and the special guest in front of him looked much more powerful than the five judges.
Even the audience was surprised and speculated who this man in gorgeous Hanfu, who was young and more handsome than Japanese male stars.
However, no one gave them an answer, and even the host didn't know Jun Yixie's identity as a food fairy king.
It's not that the name of the Food Fairy King is not loud, but most of them don't know the true identity of the Food Fairy King, who it is.
"Overall, it's a curry dish that perfectly uses the principle of fermentation."
Jun Yixie "final word".
"86 points!"
5 judges gave their scores.
And the meat charm of the Dongpo meat curry equally!
"The combination of soy sauce koji and natto is quite good, and there are plenty of green onions, which are also served in many ramen noodles in Japan, so it is a good Japanese-style curry dish overall."
"But because there are only green onions and natto, although they are ingenious, but in terms of ingredients and taste, they are really a little lighter, and the vision and aroma are also average, so I give it a score of 5.5."
Jun Yiyi secretly laid his own score in his heart.
In his opinion, although the final score given by the five judges is the same as that of the Meat Charm's Dongpo Meat Curry, Jun Yixie feels that the Meat Charm's Dongpo Meat Curry is better.
"Next, let's show the next contestant!"
"Hey, white, this is white food!"
I saw a black bowl of white dishes.
Visually, the impact is quite good, and although it can't whet your appetite all at once, at least the curiosity is there.
"This side...... It's udon, right? β
"And the noodles are also filled with curry spices and dry tea! In other words, it's a curry udon dish, right? β
One of the judges said.
"Yes, it's white bisque curry udon!"
"Oh, what a rare and elegant dish. If Kurokiba's ryo cuisine is a rush of color, then this white curry udon is a clear spring of silence. β
The bearded man pinched his chin and commented.
Jun Yixie nodded, although this white soup curry udon does not have the brightness of Ise lobster and the richness of Dongpo meat, but the overall cuisine does reveal a faint elegance.
Even the faint scent is like the music wafting in the Vienna Musikverein.
"What kind of dish would this be?"
Jun Yixie can't wait to pick up his chopsticks and start tasting this white soup curry udon!
"Hmm...... Delicious! β
Not only Jun Yixie, but also the other judges, their faces also showed a look of shock, and they feasted so much that they even wanted to drink all the noodle soup in one gulp!
"What the hell is this?"
"What's the secret of white soup?"
The audience was also thrilled to see it, and their saliva couldn't help but secrete.
Want to eat?
That's right, I want to eat!
So it's better to be a judge!
