Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 296 The Meeting of Two Heroes

Is there the most delicious bowl of dandan noodles in this world?
What is the standard for dandan noodles?

Ah!
The most interesting question is still:

Should there be soup?

Or dry fishing?

In fact, there are no answers to these questions. Although the basic ingredients are the same, everyone makes it differently, and the taste is naturally different!

So what exactly is the most authentic?
There is no answer!
In other words, as long as it is your favorite food, it is the most authentic.

Let’s talk spicy first.

Some people are happy with everything.

Like people in Shu, when eating dandan noodles, they will ask for spicy food first.

But some people ran away when they saw the layer of red oil floating on their faces.

Dandan noodles are indispensable for spicy food.

But for many southerners, especially people in Fujian and Guangdong regions, they are not very intolerant of spicy food.

And even if you can eat spicy food, whether you can eat "hemp" is still a question!
Most people in Xiangjiang will not accept the smell of Sichuan peppercorns, so they reluctantly eat them, their lips are numb, and they even have no feeling on their tongues.

However, this numbness is the essence of Dan Dan Noodles.

Therefore, most Sichuan restaurants in Xiangjiang will make the decision for you in advance.

If you really can't stand the spicy taste, they often launch an "improved version of dandan noodles".

……

The judge, Charme, first looked at the dandan noodles Kuuga had just finished.

The first thing I saw was the steaming bowl of dandan noodles. The noodles were thin and long, circling like silver ribbons in the bowl. They looked neat and orderly, but also had a free and casual aesthetic!

It is also covered with a thick layer of meat sauce, which is bright red in color.

The minced meat in the meat sauce is fine and even, perfectly blended with the seasonings, forming a unique visual effect.

Followed by.

On the side of noodles and meat sauce.

There are also sprinkles of chopped peanuts and green onions.

The crushed peanuts are golden and crispy, forming a sharp contrast with the noodles and meat sauce, which not only adds layers of taste but also makes the whole bowl of Dandan noodles look more tempting.

The emerald green onion is like the green leaves dotting the picture, adding a touch of freshness to this bowl of dandan noodles!
Sichuan cuisine is all about flavour, and so is dandan noodles.

The essence lies in sauteed seeds and seasonings, stir-fry the minced meat until fragrant, add cooking wine, salt, pepper and other seasonings, mix an appropriate amount of sweet noodle sauce with these, stir-fry until the attractive color appears, and you can start the pot.

By moving the tip of his nose a little, Chalmei could already smell a scent.

Savory!

Spicy!

The aroma is astounding.

So at this moment, Chalmei's appetite was completely aroused by this bowl of dandan noodles.

……

"Three judges."

"When you eat dandan noodles, please don't forget to dip them in some of my own special noodle sauce."

Kuga came to the front of Chalmei and others and said with a smile.

"it is good."

Charme, nodded.

The snow-white noodles, paired with different soups and meat cubes, really have a unique flavor.

When it comes to dandan noodles, vinegar is indispensable. Adding a small spoonful of bright red chili oil will make it even more delicious and delicious, making people want to eat more bowls.

At this moment, when Chalmert reached from the chopsticks to the noodles and then picked them up, the two wooden chopsticks shone with a warm luster under the light, like a pair of slender fingers, ready to dance in the ocean of noodles!

Finally, the noodles are served with chopsticks.

Like silver ribbons, they draw beautiful arcs in the air.

Subsequently.

Chalmer blew a breath of air and sucked it in.

……

Palatable.

Also, it’s oily and spicy.

This bowl of dandan noodles is bright red in color, rich in winter vegetables and sesame sauce, and as soon as I take a bite with my teeth, the spicy and sour taste is extremely prominent.

Not only that, the taste is fresh but not greasy, spicy but not dry. It is definitely the best in Sichuan style noodles.

The minced meat is carefully cooked, making people salivate as soon as they smell it.

In addition to the taste of meat sauce, the seasoning of dandan noodles is also an important part of its taste.

Chili oil.

pepper powder.

soy sauce.

vinegar.

These seasonings are also cleverly paired together to create a spicy yet sour taste.

This taste not only stimulates the taste buds, but also brings a unique pleasure.

Make people want to stop!

Moreover, what is even more enjoyable is that when Chalmei tastes the dandan noodles, he will feel the intertwining and collision of different flavors on the tip of his tongue.

The richness of the meat sauce and the spicy sourness of the seasoning complement each other.

With this kind of experience, you can completely feel the spiciness and warmth of Sichuan food, and you can continue to discover:

New flavors and surprises!
There are a lot of seasonings for Dandan noodles:

Salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, sugar, broken rice sprouts, chopped green onion and a little fresh soup.

Even Kuga Teruki added some more crushed peanuts and sesame powder to enhance the flavor.

This seems very troublesome.

But this is the brilliance of being the eighth seat, Teruki Kuga.

Jiuga, who specializes in Sichuan cuisine, knows best how to use the word "spicy" to conquer the taste buds of diners. He uses "spicy" to attract diners' appetite and make them unforgettable after eating.

……

There is no doubt that the whole bowl of dandan noodles highlights two words:
Spicy!

Combining a lot of seasoning ingredients together, making them harmoniously unified, one flavor complements the other, and one flavor is better than the other.

The noodles are smooth and the noodles are crispy and fragrant.

Salty, slightly sour and spicy, with a strong aroma of bean sprouts, this is the magic of Dandan noodles.

"I see."

Chalmei, who had just taken the first bite, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he understood.

For this second-level executive officer of the WGO Food Organization, as long as he takes one or two bites of this bowl of dandan noodles, he can analyze many of its secrets one by one!

“This bowl of dandan noodles is rich in ingredients.”

"Soybean oil, vinegar, red oil chili, good soup, chopped green onions, bean sprouts, winter vegetables, pea tips... a total of 12 ingredients and spices."

“The combination of vinegar and chili is a match made in heaven.”

"A few drops of vinegar, a small spoonful of chili, large lotus beans and strong green onion soup, and then mixed with more than a dozen ingredients and seasonings, cooked in one pot, this is the origin of the delicious dandan noodles."

"The combination of white, yellow, grey, green and red..."

"After taking a few bites, the smoothness of the noodles and the crisp sounds of lotus beans and cucumbers form an interesting symphony in your mouth."

Chalmer's words are a bit popular, but they also reflect the difficulty of making this bowl of dandan noodles!
……

Just now.

Chalmei just wasn't paying attention, and the naughty dan dan noodles flowed into his throat unknowingly.

Immediately, I felt a strong aroma coming straight to my nose.

"Huh?" Charmei blinked.

Kuga Teruki is indeed a chef who brings out the best in both spicy and spicy flavors.

So in the end, Chalmei's sense of taste was numbed by the pungent and spicy aroma, and he couldn't even feel it on his tongue.

Numb and spicy.

Indeed, they can coexist.

The noodles are smooth, crispy, bean sprouts and spicy oil. Kuga Teruki has put a lot of effort into every detail.

What’s left behind after the big waves wash away the sand is naturally the most delicious.

Take a sip of the hot soup, take a bite of the smooth noodles, and after finishing the noodles, take another sip of the soup.

Obviously, in this cold winter, being able to eat such spicy Sichuan cuisine is undoubtedly the happiest moment, and at this time, Chalmei also felt warm.

There is no definite taste in food, only those that taste good are treasures.

This sentence is a classic sentence of Sichuan cuisine.

Although Jiuga's Dan Dan Noodles are somewhat different from Tianchao's "authentic" Dan Dan Noodles, it makes people feel strange.

However, it cannot be denied that this bowl of dandan noodles can make Chalmei feel delicious.

soon.

Chalmei just finished this bowl of dandan noodles.

Each thin and smooth noodle is wrapped in a spicy and slightly sweet base and crispy minced meat, and then paired with a fragrant and delicious minced green onion soup.

This complex and diverse feeling can be summed up in just one word:

Cool!
As soon as you enter, you feel leisure and tranquility.

……

At last.

Charmei suppressed his smile and turned his attention to Hayama Ryo's tuna sushi.

He first stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of tuna sushi, and smelled it carefully. A strong smell of fish suddenly entered his nose, which was so intoxicating.

Such a delicious taste really reflects it from the side.

Ye Shanliang's cooking skills are quite good, and he lives up to his reputation of being the ninth of the top ten.

Well known.

Sushi has always been one of the traditional delicacies of Japanese cuisine.

The main ingredient is rice cubes seasoned with sushi vinegar and maintained at human body temperature, plus fish, seafood, vegetables or eggs as ingredients.

Therefore, sushi generally retains the original taste of the ingredients.

Tasty.

This is the first taste.

Whether it is traditional or modern sushi, the combination of vinegar rice and fish sashimi undoubtedly gives talented chefs the most creative possibilities.

Ultra-low calories, fire-free raw food, organic ingredients, fresh taste, and beautiful appearance.

It can be said that sushi completely meets everyone's imagination.

simple!
It’s even considered a specialty of sushi!
When eating sushi, the most important thing is to eat it completely, that is, the whole piece of sushi must be eaten in one bite. Only in this way can you truly taste the deliciousness of sushi.

……

At the entrance, the small tuna sushi was not enough to make Chalmers' teeth ache.

However, the aroma of rice and sashimi completely blended together at the moment of entry, filling the space between teeth and cheeks without leaving any gaps. The strong aroma has nowhere to escape, in the mouth Lingering for a long time.

Tuna is the most famous nigiri sushi ingredient.

In a narrow sense, there are eight species of tuna, the smallest weighing only 3 kilograms, and the largest blue flag tuna can grow to 4 meters long and weigh 800 kilograms.

The tuna is the most common and meaty part of the tuna, usually on the back.

Generally speaking.

There is nothing better than using tuna naked as the meat for sushi.

At the same time, it is usually lightly marinated in soy sauce and shaped into sushi.

In this way, the whole piece of sushi has a low fat content, a soft and tender texture, a refreshing aroma and a light sour taste.

Sushi is not just food, it is exquisite art.

The beauty of the yusheng, the harmony of colors and the creative platter combinations make one's appetite whet one's appetite just by looking at them.

……

at this time.

Chalmer just chewed a piece of sushi completely, and after swallowing it, his eyes lit up.

Looking at Chalmei at this time, the expression on his face was a smile, and Ye Shanliang next to him visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a result is already foreshadowed:

The tuna sushi he made was completely favored by Chalmer.

Immediately afterwards, Charmei unceremoniously picked up another tuna sushi and threw it directly into his mouth without any fuss.

Chewed and bit.

There is no doubt that for Chalmert, this kind of "light food" sushi is really a love-hate thing in his eyes.

Although sushi does use low-calorie ingredients instead of big fish and meat, it prevents people from overly pursuing the "color, aroma and taste" of food.

So, another meaning of sushi.

It is simple food that can be eaten without spending too much time.

Rice, vegetables, a small amount of meat, rolled up, cut into pieces, simple, the ingredients inside can be changed at will, local materials are used, one bite, you can have rice, vegetables and meat, it is delicious without having to go to a lot of trouble.

Yes, this is the advantage of sushi.

The meat quality of tuna deteriorates quickly.

If you don't eat it, the meat will become soft quickly and have a light sour taste.

The pieces of meat freshly cut from the tuna are tender and shiny in color, firm and firm in texture, without fishy smell, and have a faint sweetness in the mouth. Whether eaten directly or dipped in mustard, it has a unique flavor that makes people want to keep eating.

The only shortcoming is that there are too few.

After a while, Chalmei had eaten all the tuna sushi in front of him.

……

"Then, let's announce the result."

Chalmers, pondered for a moment.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at Kuga Teruki and Hayama Ryo.

The whole game was quiet.

Whether it was Teruki Kuga, who was dismissed, or Ryo Hayama, who was currently the ninth seat of the Ten Elites, both of them were listening with bated breath, not daring to speak loudly, for fear that they would remember a word wrong next.

"Dandan noodles, win."

Chalmert, who had never liked ink stains, only said this.

"Whoo~"

"Finally won."

Kuga Teruki obviously breathed a sigh of relief, but if you look closely, you can still find a drop of sweat slowly flowing out of his forehead, dripping down his cheeks, and hitting the floor.

Although he won, it must be said that this duel with Ryo Hayama was not easy to win.

You know, you have to prepare for everything on your own for this exam.

In such a freezing cold place where birds didn't poop, he ran around and traveled to countless places. In the end, he finally prepared these ingredients.

It is not easy to win.

"Oh... I really lost!"

Ye Shanliang was stunned for a moment.

Afterwards, his eyes were full of loneliness, and the failure of this cooking showdown made him disheartened.

However, compared to Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning and Eishan Edazuya, he is much better.
