Chapter Ninety-Three: The Mask Adorning the Mountains ^_~

Because of the information of the original book, Li Xiang has a clear goal in choosing ingredients, and his combat power has reached the level of a heroic spirit, and he can be said to be able to catch a chicken.

This time and again, the speed of the two-person group between him and Tian Soe was the fastest among all the students, and it took less than 20 minutes. And at least fifteen of those twenty minutes are actually spent finding other ingredients and processing the chicken. If you come back directly with the chicken, Li Xiang will be able to come back in five minutes at most.

After returning to the kitchen, Li Xiang came to the side of Hinata who was leisurely drinking tea, with a smile on his face:

"Senior Qian, you said before that all the ingredients here can be used, right?"

Hinata Hinako, who was drinking tea and eating snacks, raised her head,

"Yes. What's wrong? Emiya-san, looking at the way you returned with a full load, you should have found the ingredients, right? Is it too late to settle the topic with me? ”

"That's embarrassing, Hyugako-senpai. Borrow your stuff and I'll give it back to you later. ”

Li Xiang laughed weirdly, and snatched the snack from Qianri Xiangzi's hand with lightning speed.

"Ah, my snackβ€”"

The snack that Hinata eats is called "persimmon seed". In fact, it is a confectionery made from rice originating from Niigata, Japan, which is basically made by grinding glutinous rice into flour, pressing it into a cake shape, steaming it, cutting it into persimmon seeds, heating it in an oven to make it expand, and seasoning it with soy sauce or other seasonings on its hardened surface.

This little snack tastes pretty good, if you want to make a comparison. Similar to the size of peanuts, Want Want senbei can be eaten as a snack as an accompaniment to the peanuts of the Celestial Empire, and can also be eaten as a snack directly from the air.

As a small snack with Japanese characteristics, it was also crazy Amway by Takuya Kimura in the TV series "Legal Hero". Li Xiang once tasted it in the real world.

"Megumi Tano, as we said before, you deal with the wild vegetables first, and I'll handle the chicken and the flour coating."

Megumi Tanzo nodded, immediately entered the state, and began to process the wild vegetables she had just found.

And Li Xiang took out a sharp knife to break down the chicken.

This chicken is a hen pheasant of the right size and age. The reason why the roosters are not chosen is because these free-range roosters have not been castrated, and the texture will be a little hard and slightly inferior to the hens.

The live chicken has been slaughtered in advance and used to spare the blood, for the purity of the chicken's taste, Li Xiang also deliberately used the water-attribute slashing knife emperor shark to control the blood flow to make the bloodletting more thorough, and the chicken feathers were also directly burned into ashes by Li Xiang secretly using the projection magic projection of the fire slashing knife flow blade like fire.

If you don't care about the magic power, Li Xiang only needs three minutes to slaughter a live chicken or cow at most, and the efficiency is even comparable to that of a modern meat processing plant, although this "advanced" slaughtering method can only be used by him alone, and does not have any promotion value.

First, open the belly of the chicken with a three-way knife with a sharp tip, remove the internal organs, and wash it. Then the Wenwu knife vigorously chopped and broke down the chicken into pieces. The best ingredient for making Tang Yang chicken nuggets is chicken thighs, which are rich in protein and fat, but other parts of the meat can also be used, so Li Xiang put it aside.

Cut the chicken thighs into large pieces, add the appropriate amount of black pepper, salt, cooking wine, thick soy sauce, sugar, egg mixture, garlic paste and a small amount of chopped pepper sprouts, mix well and marinate to taste.

In the process of marinating the chicken, Li Xiang took out the persimmon seeds he had snatched from Hinata Zi, divided them into two parts, and rolled and crushed them with a rolling pin to different degrees. One part is pressed into small pieces that give the dough a rich texture, while the other part is thoroughly pressed into powder to increase the adhesion of the dough.

Only with Li Xiang's strange power can he use just a rolling pin to grind persimmon seeds into a powder as fine as flour.

The crushed powder is added to the chicken nuggets by Li Xiang to replace the flour and coat the flavor of the sauce on the surface of the chicken. After mixing well, the chicken is coated in a layer of freshly ground persimmon seeds and fried in a pan.

The aroma of the chicken overflows from the pan as soon as it enters the pan, and the reason why the simple cooking method of deep frying will always appeal to the taste buds of diners is the rich aroma brought by the abundance of fat.

Anyone with basic knowledge of chemistry knows that the umami of food comes from amino acids, the sweetness comes from soluble sugar, the saltiness comes from salt, the spiciness comes from the capsaicin in chili peppers, and as for the aroma, it basically comes from the oil.

A few minutes later, Li Xiang took out the chicken in the oil pan that was completely in place. Place on kitchen paper to drain excess grease and also allow the surface of the chicken to cool down for diners.

On the other hand, Megumi Tasso, who is in charge of making the dipping sauce, has whipped the egg yolks mixed with salad oil to make mayonnaise.

At the same time, she also fried the prepared wild vegetables in the pan.

Most wild vegetables and wild vegetables will have some slight astringency, and methods such as soaking in salt water, blanching in hot water, and frying can balance the astringency of wild vegetables.

After all the ingredients were processed, Megumi Tasho put all the processed ingredients and sauces on a delicate plate, carefully completed the delicate presentation with the delicacy unique to girls, and placed it in front of Hinata Himatako.

"Senior, special Tang Yang chicken nuggets, please taste it."

Looking at the rich and delicate fried platter in the tableware, Hinata sighed:

"I didn't expect the first team to complete it to hand over such a beautiful answer sheet."

From the time she finished assigning the task to the final submission of the finished dish by Li Xiang and Tian Sohui's team, it only took about 40 minutes, including the time to find the ingredients.

On the delicate plate, the crispy surface of Tang Yang chicken nuggets is reddish, the fresh and crispy green wild vegetables, the golden mayonnaise, and the color matching of the dishes is very harmonious and beautiful. Olfactoryly, the aroma of fried food slowly emanates from the nose of a young girl, teasing the nasal passages of diners and seducing their expectations.

"It's good-looking, and the taste has to be passed, right?"

Hinata put down the teacup in her hand, took a piece of chicken with chopsticks in her right hand, and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm~, it's really strong."

As soon as you bite into it, the tender and juicy texture of the chicken completely bursts out in your mouth. The salty, sour, and sweet flavors are perfectly balanced to bring out the mellow flavor of the chicken. The combination of black pepper, sansho leaves and crushed garlic perfectly removes the fishy smell of chicken.

When you chew it, your mouth is full of happiness. After dipping some mayonnaise, a more wonderful chemistry is created between the chicken and mayonnaise.

"It's such a rich dish, but it doesn't feel greasy at all, and in addition to the dough made from persimmon seeds, there is another ingredient that gives a crispy texture and a slight sweetness, which should be ......."

"As a dry senior, I also added some chopped bamboo shoots to the chicken."

"It turned out that bamboo shoots were added. Indeed, now is the spring when spring shoots germinate, and the crispness and sweetness of bamboo shoots are most obvious at this time. Combined with the slight bitterness of the wild herbs as a side dish, it is no wonder that it has such a refreshing taste. ”

Qianri nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Despite the limited ingredients, you used your ingenuity to overcome the difficulties and present a very creative dish. Megumi Tando, Emiya, you're qualified! ”

Tian Sue heard the teacher's judgment and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

β€œEmiya。”

Successfully submitted the project work and passed it, and Li Xiang, who was about to walk away, was suddenly stopped by Hinata Dry. Li Xiang turned to look at Qianhi Xiangzi, only to see the other party ask with a smile on his face:

"I felt an emotion other than the taste in the dish just now, could it be that you have already comprehended 'that'?"

Dry Hinata compares a "kitchen heart" mouth shape.

It turned out that it was because of the matter of the kitchen's heart, Li Xiang suddenly realized, and responded with the same smile:

"Yes."

"I didn't expect that among Yuanyue's juniors and sisters, there would be a talent like you. This kind of ethereal stuff that I haven't even mastered yet! Looks like I'm going to have to work harder, too. But ......"

Qianri Xiangzi approached Li Xiang and whispered:

"Emiya, are you interested in working in our store after graduation?"

Hinata smiled like a kidnapper.
