Chapter 210 The Sound Of Cooking
Chapter 210 The Sound Of Cooking
It's just because you've been around for so long that others can't understand you!
Although he is called Elite Ten, the dishes he makes, although delicious, cannot touch people's soul more...
Delicious and touching are always separate...
Tens of minutes later, Yukihira's and Teruki Kuga's dishes were cooked at the same time.
Two Mapo Tofu dishes were placed in front of the three judges at the same time.
You can almost see the difference between the two dishes with the naked eye.
The mapo tofu made by Yukihira is obviously more attractive than the one made by Kuga Teruki, both in appearance and aroma.
And in comparison, the dishes made by Kuga Teruki even look a bit rigid.
Kuga Teruki was also looking at Yukihira's cooking.
Soon, he saw the difference between his own cooking and Yukihira's!
.....
I chose to sprinkle chopped green onion on the mapo tofu, but as time went by, the green onion has changed slightly.
As for Yukihira, which uses garlic, the green dots that appear on the dish are very eye-catching.
And the fragrance it emits seems to be even more charming!
If there was no comparison, the three judges might not say anything, but now, with the gap visible to the naked eye, they spoke out!
"Compared with the thin chopped green onion, the density of the garlic flower is obviously higher, so it takes more time for the residual heat of the dish to penetrate. This also makes Yukihira-san's cooking more eye-catching in terms of color, but there are This makes me very confused. According to common sense, the fragrance of garlic flowers is not as strong as that of green onions. Why does your cooking smell so shocking, Yukihira-kun?"
It wasn't until they used their chopsticks to taste the dish that the three judges found the answer!
"Hoo ho, so spicy, so hot!"
The moment the three judges put the food into their mouths.
The surging spicy excitement exploded in their mouths in an instant!
The supreme deliciousness flows along their tongues and to every part of their bodies!
They even felt that their bodies began to become hot!
And after tasting it themselves, they really felt that the mapo tofu made by Yukihira has such a deep taste.
The three judges are also well-informed people, but they have never seen anyone make the dish of mapo tofu so touching... It seems that Yukihira has considered every detail perfectly!
"It's actually butter!"
"You use butter to cook this mapo tofu!"
"No wonder the aroma of this dish is so amazing. The aroma of butter and the aroma of garlic can be perfectly combined..."
"And that's not all that shocked us...even the amazingly spicy taste seemed to come alive at this moment..."
"This should be the legendary, extreme development of spices?"
Thinking of this, the three judges were even more horrified!
The deliciousness of the dish in front of you is really exaggerated. If too much Sichuan pepper is added, the numbing taste of the dish will be difficult to eat!
Only through extreme development can we transcend the superficial nature of spices and directly extract their deeper delicious origins...
How could Yukihira Sōma be so powerful? This is definitely a super method that only a very few cooking masters in the world can master...
Seeing the surprised looks in the three judges' eyes, Yukihira smiled calmly.
"That's not all!"
"The most outstanding feature of Mapo Tofu actually comes from the tofu itself!"
"Kuga-senpai's tofu should have been out of water before cooking..."
Water release is an essential step in cooking Mapo tofu. Before cooking, the tofu will be put into boiling water and simmered for a while to ensure that the beany smell of the tofu is removed as much as possible. However, in this way Doing it will also cause the tofu to be filled with a lot of excess water... This is what cooks call (baaa) good.
....
However, in Yukihira's opinion, this approach is not the best way...
In order to remove the beany smell from the tofu without adding excess water, Yukihira uses a very special spice!
B!
The aroma of juniper, a berry spice, is closer to that of rosin. If too much is added, the aroma of the dishes may be a little pungent, but it has an important feature, that is, it is suitable for greasy and heavy-flavored dishes. , creating an unparalleled fragrance!
The reason why Yukihira can perfectly eliminate the beany smell is because Yukihira sprinkles some ground juniper powder in the dishes.... And it can also neutralize the greasy taste in butter, making it easier for diners to eat...
Looking at Kuaga Teruki, Yukihira said calmly:
"Cooking can express some voices, why not taste it yourself, Kuuga-senpai!"
"Just feel the difference between my cooking and yours!"
Yukihira brought out an extra serving and handed it to Kuga Teruki.
Kuga Teruki stared blankly at the dishes handed over by Yukihira.
Until now, he still can't figure out what Yukihira's words mean!
Until he tasted this dish!
Kuga Teruki had an epiphany!
It turns out that what Yukihira emphasized many times is the sound of cooking!
In fact, it is the passion that the cook puts into cooking!
Putting down the food in his hands, Kuga Teruki closed his eyes!
How long has it been since I have considered my own problems?
It seems that my mentality has changed since I became an Elite Ten and the leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Club!
In my heart, I feel that my Sichuan cuisine is already very good, but the surrounding environment has curbed my development. Have I really seriously considered how to improve the taste of my cuisine?
For Yukihira, the problems faced by Kuga Teruki are actually easy to understand. Since his status began to rise, he no longer focused on the training of cooking, but tried to use various methods to Expand the influence of Sichuan cuisine in the academy.
This is actually a way of seeking the far side at the expense of the near. I believe that it was precisely because Senzaemon saw this that he rejected his request!
How can a person who can't even concentrate on his own cooking do a good job in spreading the dishes?
As for Yukihira’s cooking, she told Kuga Teruki a very simple dish!
That is, no matter in every detail of your cooking, I have surpassed me. This situation proves that you actually have not mastered the Sichuan cuisine that you are so proud of!
If you are not good at learning something yourself, what qualifications do you have to force others to promote learning?
This is the sound of Yukihira cuisine!
