Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

From a professional chef's perspective.

Si Yingshi really understands the meaning of sashimi as a cooking method.

Different ingredients.

different positions.

Raw, cooked, should the fish skin be retained, does the fish meat need to be further processed, should it be sliced ​​or shredded?

What kind of ingredients require what kind of processing?

In other words, what kind of production, or even what kind of auxiliary materials, can achieve a relatively good taste harmony?

The answers to these questions.

Si Yingshi gave an answer to the porcupine fish that even Chaoyang was surprised!

"As expected of you, you are the current number one chef. Your ability is indeed comparable to that of a three-star chef. And you seem to have a special ability that allows you to communicate with the ingredients, right?"

Finally, Cai Bo Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Ability?"

“Talking to the ingredients?”

When Si Yingshi heard this, he found it a little unbelievable.

"You'll understand later. Now let's continue with our cooking review."

After saying that, Cai Bo Chaoyang brought a portion of freshly cut marinated Wagyu beef sashimi to Si Yingshi, indicating that he could taste it himself.

……

The texture of the wagyu beef is delicate.

As for fat, it is naturally distributed very evenly, just like the texture of marble.

And when gently placed on a white porcelain plate, it looks like a work of art, quietly showing its charm.

Si Yingshi was stunned for a moment.

Soon, he picked up a piece of beef and could immediately feel the tenderness and elasticity of the meat.

When you put it in your mouth, you will first feel the slightly cool touch. Then, the rich aroma of Wagyu beef will spread in your mouth. This aroma is mellow and deep, making you extremely intoxicated.

As you chew, the Wagyu fat melts in your mouth, releasing a rich milky and mellow meaty aroma.

This taste is both rich and layered.

At the same time, the texture of Wagyu beef is delicate and elastic, and you can feel it dancing in your mouth when chewing.

Swallowed.

There is still a meaty aroma and a light milky aroma in the mouth.

Obviously, even without any cooking, the original flavor of the beef is enough to make people want to taste it again.

Moreover, the taste is really mellow and long-lasting!
黏！
sweet!
slip!
These three words undoubtedly best reflect the taste of this beef sashimi!
……

"Ok?"

"This is……"

Si Yingshi's eyes showed surprise.

Wagyu sashimi and Wagyu sushi are not new dishes in many restaurants in Japan.

However, truly high-level chefs and gourmets basically ignore raw high-end Wagyu dishes, because generally speaking, the higher the quality of the Wagyu, the richer the intramuscular fat!

Well, the more you eat it raw, the worse it tastes.

Although the marinated meat covered with intramuscular fat is placed on a plate, it looks very beautiful and full of luxury.

However, the meat itself has a high content of intramuscular fat, and eating it raw is exactly like the meaning of the word "tasteless".

If.

Pure horse meat, a strong young man!

Then, the Wagyu sashimi made by Cai Bo Chaoyang is more like a delicate girl!

The sweet aftertaste unique to beef will linger in every corner of your mouth for the next few minutes.

Close your eyes.

Thinking back to the texture of this piece of meat.

Suddenly I realized that its shape, texture and even the temperature that was quickly assimilated in my mouth were very similar to my own tongue.

If Si Yingshi were asked to describe this sashimi at this moment, and give it a little imagination, it would probably be the closest simulation and temptation of this primitive and brutal desire within the scope permitted by ethics and law!
Yes!

Indeed, it has a completely different taste.

It was very cool and slippery, so cool that the tip of my tongue trembled, and so slippery that I tried to bite it with my teeth several times, but it cunningly slipped away.

"you win."

"It's possible to make this kind of exotic beef sashimi."

“I never thought it would be so delicious.”

Si Yingshi slowly opened his eyes, then said helplessly: "You should have only used one-third of your strength to cook this sashimi."

"With your current strength, I'm afraid there aren't many people in the entire cooking world who can surpass you!"

"Ugh!"

"Could it be that."

“Is the future really the era of late-night cooks like you?”

After Si Yingshi finished speaking, he tactfully handed his sharp kitchen knife to Chaoyang.

Cai Bo Chaoyang on this side didn't waste any words and directly confiscated the kitchen knife. Then he glanced at it for a few seconds and nodded with satisfaction: "The winner is the king. Now even the ten heroes of your Totsuki are no match for us."

“Who else can lead this culinary era in the future except us late-night cooks?”

"not to mention."

“My growth doesn’t stop here!”

"One day, I will stand at the top of the culinary world."

……

awful!
This word also runs through Cai Bo Chaoyang's entire childhood.

Compared to Erina, whose mother ran away from home and who is unloved by her father, Chaoyang, as an illegitimate child, is even more unloved by both his own father and his own mother.

He grew up in an orphanage, a poor little bastard who grew up wild.

In that environment.

Many times, he would become extremely sensitive, and even when any problem occurred, the first thing he would do was to reflect on himself.

After all, he didn't even know who his biological mother was, as she abandoned him when he was very young.
Although the living conditions in the welfare home are barely acceptable.

but.

The most uncomfortable thing is psychologically.

What impressed him most was that once a volunteer made an appointment to visit him, but the volunteer was late for a full thirty minutes, which made him extremely panicked and scared!
Those thirty minutes seemed very long to him.

He was always thinking, did he do something wrong?
He even encountered parents who came to visit the orphanage and told their children that they would send them here if they were not well behaved.

Another time, he took some donated chocolates to the classroom, but someone mocked him by saying, "People in welfare homes eat chocolates now!" As a result, he stopped eating chocolates for a long time.

To be honest, if I hadn’t met Saiba Joichiro.

He really doesn't know in this life whether there will be any hope for his life.
of course!

Maybe you have had such an experience.

As a result, he did many seemingly contradictory things in the original plot.

This character is definitely a true traitor. His biological father's surname is Nakamura, and his godfather's surname is Saiba. When his biological father married into the Nakiri family, he had the audacity to change his surname to Nakiri!

What's even funnier is that he used the pseudonym Suzuki, sneaked into Totsuki Academy as a lecturer, and launched wave after wave of "love attacks" on Erina, the commander-in-chief.

result!

Until the end.

The two of them are actually half-siblings from the same father!
It can be said that Caibo Chaoyang is indeed very strong, and as the leader of late-night cooks, he has been challenging the entire cooking world. But in many things, he really gives people the feeling that he is too nonsensical and completely incomprehensible!

Perhaps this has something to do with his childhood experiences, more or less?
……

On weekdays, there are usually two types of grilled fish we eat.

One is grilled fish with side dishes, the kind with soup, garlic, spicy, etc., and there are many flavors. The advantage of this type of grilled fish is that you can eat the fish and the side dishes, and you can also add water after eating the fish and then rinse the dishes.

The other type is commonly found in barbecue restaurants, which is pure grilled fish without any side dishes!

now.

After defeating Si Yingshi.

Caiba Chaoyang, who changed his name to Lecturer Suzuki, returned to Totsuki Academy and was in a cooking classroom, personally cooking grilled fish for the students.

I saw him slaughtering a blackback sea bass.

Cut off the fins, make cuts on both sides of the fish body with a knife, and then separate the fish along the bones so that the fish is divided into two halves, with the backs connected.

Next, spread the scallions, ginger slices, cooking wine and salt evenly on the fish body and marinate for 20 minutes.

Then put the marinated fish into a baking tray lined with tin foil, place onion segments and ginger slices on top, brush the fish body with oil and soy sauce, and sprinkle with chili powder, pepper powder, and cumin powder.

Finally, put the sea bass on the grill.

Start grilling, brushing with oil and turning over every once in a while.

Slowly, a drop of hot oil with a sizzling sound dripped onto the grill, and a rich aroma quickly spread throughout the cooking room!
……

"Wow!"

"As expected of Lecturer Suzuki, he can even make the simplest grilled fish so delicious!"

One of the female students stared at the shiny grilled sea bass with her eyes fixed on it and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Yes!"

"Teacher Suzuki's cooking skills are truly admirable."

Then, Cai Bo Chaoyang ignored the group of students who were making a fuss in the audience, and continued to turn the grilled fish over and brushed it with layer of chili sauce.

For a while.

The sea bass meat is browned and shiny.

After being continuously roasted over charcoal fire, it becomes more and more delicious!
Most of the student diners present were mesmerized by the unprecedented aroma.

Their eyes were filled with the most primitive greed, and they wished they could pounce on it and eat all the sea bass meat in front of them!
……

"Great!"

"Lecturer Suzuki is Lecturer Suzuki."

"It's not easy to make a simple grilled fish so exquisite and delicious~"

"hiss!"

“This fishy smell… it’s really unbearable to smell.

"In a flash, I looked at the braised carp dish I just made and suddenly it didn't taste good anymore."

"No wonder Instructor Suzuki was dissatisfied with our performance in this class!"

"Well, they are all grilled fish, but many restaurants don't cook them very well. Although they also grill them over a low fire, the pungent aroma is nothing compared to what Lecturer Suzuki does."

"Yes, I dare say that Instructor Suzuki's cooking skills are the best in Totsuki."

"No!"

"He is the strongest in all of Neon Country!"

Suddenly, the entire cooking classroom was in an inexplicable commotion.

Everyone present was impressed and shocked by Cai Bo Chaoyang's cooking skills.

……

Ginger, cut into minced ginger.

Garlic, cut into large pieces.

Celery, remove old leaves, wash and cut into sections.

Peel the bamboo shoots and lotus root and cut into thick slices, wash and separate the mushrooms, and cut the tofu skin into wide strips.

Then, add oil into the wok and heat it to 5% hot, then add minced ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

After completing these steps, the most important thing must be added:
Pixian Douban!

Next, continue to fry the chili peppers and peppercorns until fragrant.

Pour in fresh soup and bring to a boil, add soy sauce, salt and sugar to season, add in side dishes such as bamboo shoots and celery and cook together, then turn off the heat when they are cooked.

The last step is to sprinkle the fried seasonings and side dishes on the grilled fish!

"what?"

“What a strange practice!”

"The so-called grilled fish, isn't it just grilling the fish?"

"Why do we need to make sauces out of all these miscellaneous things and pour them on the fish?"

"But, don't tell me!"

"This grilled fish tastes so delicious!"

Some students began to close their eyes, smelling the rich fish aroma in the air, and their hearts were suddenly shocked.

Obviously, this kind of grilled fish has subverted their cognition.

……

Finally, sprinkle a little cilantro for flavor.

A plate of steaming, fragrant grilled blackback sea bass is ready!
"Teacher Suzuki!"

"Can I...can I taste it? I...I really can't bear it any longer!"

At this moment, a girl with a blush on her face, clenched her fists, and her eyes were full of anticipation. She just stared at the grilled fish on the table, and then couldn't help but look up and asked Cai Bo Chaoyang anxiously.

"Ok!"

"of course can."

Cai Bo Chaoyang just nodded!
After receiving Caibo Chaoyang's affirmation, the student nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, Professor Suzuki!"

Afterwards, she was so hungry that she didn't care about anything else. To the envy of everyone, she quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating!

"Wow!"

"Delicious!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a bite, the student's eyes lit up immediately!

……

White and tender sea bass meat.

Just one bite and you can feel the freshness of lakes and oceans jumping in your mouth.

The freshness of the sea bass, the aroma of the sauce, and the fragrance of the onions from the hot oil are all perfectly blended!
The taste is really just one word:

fresh!
Sea bass is rich in protein, as well as various trace elements such as vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, and zinc, so many people are willing to buy sea bass to eat!
Secondly, the meat of sea bass is particularly delicious, without too much fishy smell, and is easy to cook.

Fry, bake, boil, steam, deep fry...

These common cooking techniques can fully bring out the flavor of sea bass.

The grilled blackback sea bass made by Cai Bo Chaoyang is precisely calculated from the selection of ingredients to the cooking of the ingredients and the amount of seasoning.

Therefore, it tastes delicious!

Of course, for this student, she didn't have many words in her mind to describe the overall taste enjoyment of this grilled blackback sea bass.

But no matter what, in her eyes, the dishes made by Cai Bo Chaoyang are really:

So delicious! (End of this chapter)
