Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Huh? That's ..." Liu Pengxing couldn't help but see the thing that is going up on the calamus.

"Hehe, pretend to be stupid, weren't you with her last night?" Erina sneered aside, her eyes glowing and dangerous.

"Cough cough, what's with her ... I only stayed in her cooking room for five minutes, and just tasted her noodles!" Liu Pengxing quickly whispered.

"Well, you want to say that she gave you food below last night, and you only went in for five minutes?"

"... Why do I think the statement has become even stranger? Can you emphasize that it is‘ ramen ’noodles and‘ go to the pantry ’for five minutes?” Liu Pengxing said helplessly.

"Huh?" Erina did not seem to realize what she said or the difference between the two statements!

"Okay, not to mention these dirty things. The works she made first seem to be different from what I saw yesterday ... At that time, she tasted a bowl of ramen for me." Liu Pengxing wondered.

"Don't you say that she still stayed in the pantry when you left? Probably, what improvements have been made ... and from ordinary ramen to dip noodles, there are only some changes in the way of eating!"

That's right, the reason why Liu Pengxing saw the difference at a glance is precisely because he tasted "a bowl" of ramen last night, but now the calamus is presented to the judges, but it is five servings, two servings per serving ...

One bowl contained the "noodle" itself, with the toppings on it, and the soup was left alone for another night, as if to keep warm. After the soup was served, a small bowl was covered on top.

Liu Pengxing has also recognized it, which is obviously "dipping noodles", which can be regarded as a type of Japanese ramen, but the difference from ordinary ramen is that when it is presented to the diners, the noodles and soup are separated.

When eating, put the noodles and toppings in the soup and dip them ...

There is a kind of Shaanxi pasta snack "dipping water noodles" in Chinese cuisine, which is similar to this "dipping noodles" in eating style, but the noodles dipping in water noodles themselves are also in the clear water soup with simple side dishes, just when eating , Just pass it in a small bowl of red oil dip.

At the same time, the noodles dipped in water in Shaanxi are usually wide trouser noodles, and there is a long noodle in a bowl. When eating, use noodles to chop the noodles. Find one end from the clear soup and put it in the dipping bowl You can just dip in the middle and eat, even there is always a noodle connected between the dipping bowl and the noodle bowl ...

Dipping noodles is to leave the noodles and toppings empty, and the dipping soup placed alone will not be a heavy-flavor red oil dip, but is also a broth for ramen.

Compared with ordinary ramen, the benefits are obvious, that is to avoid the mutual influence between soup and noodles for a long time, which destroys the taste of noodles and the taste of soup.

Instead, the soup noodles are separated and eaten immediately. Some restaurants also provide equipment for heating soup bowls, so as to ensure that every bite, the taste is the best taste ...

Others have some doubts and do n’t understand why after the submission, the jury will use the noodles in the form of scoring immediately.

And Liu Pengxing, who has tasted her "ramen" before, vaguely guessed some reasons ...

"Huh? These are pasta toppings? Will the pasta toppings with ramen be too bland?"

"No, I saw her like ..."

"Wait ... the face under this topping is ..."

The dip noodles of the calamus puzzled the judges as soon as they appeared, because in the bowl of noodles and toppings, the topping was covered with two toppings, two small rectangular, cake-shaped pasta products, and a small cylinder The kind of roll seems to be some kind of noodles with vegetables!

From the perspective of ramen toppings, it is a bit strange, after all, it is too monotonous to use noodles to match noodles.

However, immediately following their attention, when they looked at the toppings with chopsticks and saw the "ramen" below, they shifted together with "doubts" ...

I saw that the "ramen" already cooked below is not a white noodle or a light yellow with more gluten, but a cloudy transparent color!

Compared to normal noodles, it can be said that it is already translucent, but compared to vermicelli, it is too turbid, and it is farther away from the completely transparent "shadowless surface" ...

But in the "Ramen Contest", seeing this kind of "noodles" still surprised the judges.

After the chopsticks, you can feel the hand feeling from the chopsticks. This thing is obviously different from "noodles"!

"Huh? What's that?" Erina wondered, and from a distance, Erina could not determine the material of this special "noodle".

Of course, she wasn't talking to herself, but was asking Liu Pengxing in the throne. Erina believed that since Liu Pengxing had tasted the surface of the calamus last night, she would definitely know what's magical ...

"It's a kind of minced pork and a small amount of glutinous rice flour, kneaded together with sweet potato flour, rolled into a skin and dried, and finally cut into strips and cooked ... using Chinese cuisine, it is different from 'swallow skin' Very similar! "Said Liu Pengxing.

Swallow skin, also known as meat swallow skin, in addition to this type of pork lean ground meat, there are also made of fresh fish meat and pork belly, usually used for "swallow skin flat food", that is, to serve as dumplings, wontons and the like skin, Again, just like now, make noodles directly! Also known as "swallow skin noodles".

"Pork mince? It turns out so, plain noodles, plain toppings ... Didn't mention noodles? I can't think of this guy, I can actually think of this. The descendants of the 'small area' small ramen restaurant can do this step well." Rina said dismissively.

The successors of these private snack bars with their own recipes and secret recipes usually do not enter the culinary academy, but teach their skills by their elders at home.

Because at a young age, you will come into contact with family secret recipes, and then work hard to study highly targeted skills ...

After the era of "great fusion of cuisines", because the speed of innovation of various recipes is very fast, the elders will also bring along the successors when they reform the recipes, so they can cultivate some innovative spirit.

But compared with the same academies, most of them have solid basic skills and excellent professional cooking skills, but they are inferior in innovation ability ...

And "heavy soup is not heavy noodle" like "Japanese ramen", for many restaurant players, it is a common sense blind spot, but Iris jumped out of this blind spot to see the problem!

So she was able to make this kind of ramen similar to "swallow skin noodles" to combine with "dipping noodles".

At the same time, Liu Pengxing also felt that the reason why the calamus uses the "dip noodle" form is not only for the best taste, but also for further circumvention of the rules ...

The theme of the competition is "Vegetarian Soup and Vegetarian Toppings". It does not require noodles to be vegetarian, but if you really put "Yanpi Noodles" in the soup, there will be more or less material exchange!

If there is a hint of meat oil flowing into the soup by then, is it really a "vegetable soup"?

Liu Pengxing had such doubts before, but because it was delicious enough, he believed that the judges would not care about this small error. After all, this kind of material exchange has very little effect on soup ...

And now using the form of "dipping noodles" undoubtedly avoids the possibility of disputes.

Because the soup is still vegan until the finished product is submitted, even if it is contaminated with meat, it has nothing to do with the cook ...

"By the way, roasted carrot cake and roasted pepper cake can be dipped in the soup and tasted, but fresh vegetable pancake rolls, please do not put in the soup, as a snack!" Shiratori reminded.

The so-called "roasted carrot pie" and "roasted pepper pie" are rectangular, and the size and thickness of Liu Pengxing's words are similar to those of Wangwang Xianbei.

The former is a carrot cooked with various salty and spicy spices, kneaded with flour and kneaded with flour, and then pressed into the shape of small cookies ...

The latter is pepper, green onion, sesame and salt, mixed with flour and kneaded, both of which are baked hard in the oven!

If it is eaten empty, the palatability is slightly worse, but when the soup base prepared by the calamus is slightly soaked, it can immediately show an amazing fresh flavor and a crispy taste after absorbing the soup.

The five judges, including Dojima Silver, were served with soft and glutinous meaty noodles, which are very different from ordinary ramen. During the preliminary competition, they did not control the amount of food for the first time ...

"Is this how the minced meat and sweet potato flour are blended into" ramen "? This soft and chewy taste ... and there is no imaginary sticky teeth!"

"Yes, because spices have been added to the minced meat, I can eat a big bowl even if I eat it empty-mouthed!"

"Not only the noodles themselves, but also the carrot cake and pepper cake. When I did n’t get the soup in the beginning, I felt a little too hard. The urge to ask the boss to add more toppings ... "

"This pancake fresh vegetable roll is also good, balancing the thick kelp broth slightly greasy."

"I don't know Japanese bird ramen. Have you added this" Vegetarian Meat Noodle "to the menu?"

Seeing his own "ramen", Shiratori Changpu was widely praised by the judges, and also smiled heartily, and said, "After I go back, I will definitely recommend grandpa to add this ramen to the menu. Support me! "

I have already tasted 97 servings before. Although each serving is a bite, it should be quite full now, but at this time the "Sutang Ramen Noodles" stirred up the judges again. appetite!

Even if Dojima silver is fine, it is normal to watch his chunks eat more, and two of the old men have to worry about whether they will last!

"Hahaha, I don't think your grandfather can refuse ... If you really refuse, just add it to the menu of my ramen restaurant!"

"Area No. 98, No. 98 player Shiratori, pass!"

At this time, Erina, as the 99th, was naturally ready to submit "ramen" ...

At the same time, the judges were also "self-righteous" and tasted one of the ten masters of the Yuanyue Academy, the blood relatives of the gourmet devil, and tasted the ramen of Erina who is the master of the tongue of the tongue who is more attainable than himself!

However, just after Erina submitted her "ramen", four of the five judges still had their eyes widened, and the only calming Dojima silver also showed an interesting look!

Because Bainiachangpu, Erina and Liu Pengxing are No. 98, No. 99, and No. 100, respectively, and the divisions of the counter are arranged in order of number, and the three are in the back row. Therefore, the judges were equally curious about the cooking process of the three people. Instead, the audience saw more through the broadcast screen ...

So the judges will of course be surprised ...

The white bird calamus comes up, and it can be seen as a "dipping noodle" anyway, which can be regarded as a kind of Japanese ramen.

However, the things pushed up by Erina's dining car can't see the origin of ramen ...

I saw that Erina pushed up a cylindrical deep pot, about 40 centimeters in diameter, and also had a depth of 30 to 40 centimeters. Everyone thought this was for her soup!

But now Erina has just pushed the pot to the judges' seat, and then put the pot in front of the judges.

That's right, it's a pot, and the pot part still leans on the handle part of five wooden braces ...

"this is……"

"Well, this is my" Starry Ramen "."

"Huh? Starry sky? Ramen?"

The judges looked at the five drills and wondered if they should be picked up ...

After all, in the ramen competition, it is a bit weird to see this scene. It seems that as long as there are large-scale students participating in the competition, the style will become "strange".

They had just thought that the "Sutang Ramen" of Shiraku Aris, the style of painting was already very strange, and I could not imagine what "Starry Ramen" painted by Rina soon surpassed to a strange degree!

Several judges were also worried about whether this thing was a brazier. Will it pick up and say, "Huh? Why do you grab the noodles by hand? You should use your mouth to suck" here ...

Although this thing is all about wood brazing, but ... it is very strange to see this in the ramen competition, and even more strange is not impossible!

Seeing that the five judges had not moved, Erina could not help but say, "Please try it quickly! Otherwise, the taste of the ramen will be affected."

"This ... do you have any special tasting suggestions?" Masai Asai asked with a change of direction.

As the current master of "Asai Ramen", one of the first ramen restaurants on Sapporo Ramen Street, Masai Asai absolutely can't think of it. In his later years, he will ask others how to eat ramen ...

"There is no special way of tasting, there are no restrictions on toppings, some need to be dipped in soup, and some do not need to be dipped in soup. Just pick up the wood brazing and taste! The order does not need to be from front to back!

"嘁 ...... It must be troublesome to be the secretary of this guy?" Shiratori whispered to Liu Pengxing whispering Erina underneath. Everyone could hear that the sentence behind Erina was aimed at her "meat noodle" of.

It seems that she really thinks that Liu Pengxing is the male secretary of Erina?

"Cough, remind you a little bit, I am the ninth seat of Shijie, and Erina is only the tenth seat!" Liu Pengxing said.

"so what?"

"So how could I be her secretary?"

"My brother is in the shop, and he always gave me a shot!"

Um, although Shiraku Aris is neither the oldest nor a man at home, but because of his talents and exploration and pursuit of ramen, he is now the next generation heir of "hand-picked" Shiratori!

As for her dad and two older brothers, they are no longer in "Sunbird Ramen", but as a chef or cook, working in other star restaurants. Only her third brother is still helping in "Sunbird Ramen". Give her a hand ...

"... I and Erina are just friends." Liu Pengxing always felt strange to explain this to another woman.

"Then why don't you dare to speak in front of her and admit that you talked to me last night?"

"I'm not going to talk, just ... forget, in short, you know I'm not ... wait, why don't you dare to admit that you have talked to you in front of her, it must be her secretary? How did you reason about this result? "Liu Pengxing puzzled.

"Huh? Isn't it true that only the boss and the employer care about this kind of thing? Grandpa often criticizes the third brother and tells him not to talk to the girl during work!" Changpu said "I made a good point" .

Liu Pengxing was speechless, and at the same time silently supported it in his heart. Erina's description of the calamus ... Ramen in my mind!

At this time, the five judges already had "a ramen" in their hands ...

Well, in view of Erina claiming that this is "starry ramen", so the judges first thought it was ramen!

On this five ramen brazes, five "ramen" smaller than walnuts are worn, some are light yellow 0 color, seem to have high gluten ramen, some are yellow wheat color 0, preliminary judgment is Italian hard wheat Noodles, there are pure white, two-finger wide breadth, there is also a section of several knives cut and intersected, and finally there is a very thick white face ... Liu Pengxing knows that it is actually a rice noodle!

In addition to the two wider surfaces, the cut surface and the wide surface, which are folded and worn on the brazing rod, the other faces are knitted like multiple bows or hemp rope knots, and then worn on the brazing rod ...

The five types of noodles are also separated from each other by six types ... should they be said to be "toppings"?

If this thing can really be regarded as ramen, then these six kinds of side dishes should indeed be called "toppings"!

Diced matsutake, white radish, tofu, small brussels sprouts, a thick kelp head, and a large pitted cherry on top ...

The other players saw the way that the five judges wanted to be "in a string" in public.

"Is this really a ramen?"

"It should be ... um ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ OK ... right? After all, there are soups, noodles and toppings!"

"I actually think that compared to the minced meat noodles before, Ms. Azuki's" skewered ramen "is more like ramen. After all, there are both noodles and toppings, but when you taste it, you use brazing ..."

"Oh, I guess the judges will not be very satisfied. This is the" Sapporo Ramen Contest ". Is it too far from Japanese ramen?"

"Yes, I also think ... that doesn't seem to be the case!"

"Why, what's going on?"

"The judges are ..."

All the doubts disappeared after the judges began to spit out "skewer", replaced with shocked eyes and full of doubts!

Although the actions of the five judges do not seem to be eating ramen at all, this kind of chewing and masculine look is obviously a high praise for the cooks! (To be continued.):
