The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 51 Flame Dumplings
While considering the daily recipe, Xia An glanced at the details of his basic skills.

Seasoning [Dacheng].

The temperature [great success].

The knife skills are perfect.

Just talking about these three basic skills, Xia An is undoubtedly a six-star chef, and even his knife skills are beyond the ordinary.

However, his proficiency in Cantonese cuisine is only [Minor Accomplishment], which is a lag. If Xia An is willing to allocate 2 cooking experience points to this cuisine, it can be upgraded to [Major Accomplishment].

Then he went to take the six-star examination and passed it easily.

However, with the basic skills of six-star cooking and the [White] dad's chef's heart, even a very daily and ordinary Cantonese breakfast would probably be enough to defeat the Totsuki students all the way to Si Eiji and Kobayashi Ryodan.

Only these two among the top ten have a chance to resist a little.

Therefore, it is too boring to use the most familiar method to brutally abuse the female apprentice.

the moment before.

He also gave Midori earnest instructions.

Let Midori challenge herself and surpass herself in every food battle.

The result is the next moment.

I just took out the everyday dishes as my answer to the food battle and dealt with it hastily.

It seems like a boomerang hit you?

How can I teach my apprentices by setting a good example in the future?
And if we stop focusing on the rebellious female students as our opponents in the food battle, and instead think about how to challenge ourselves and make some progress in this food battle...

Suddenly, Xia An's mentality changed, and a very interesting ancient recipe suddenly appeared in his mind. It was the one that required the most skill in cooking the best cooking conditions among the recipes that Luo Jian had purchased wholesale:
"Flame Dumplings"!
Actually.

This recipe is really not bad.

The creators are the Dumpling Brothers, two famous top chefs in Hunan Province.

They also performed well in the dumpling competition.

If it weren’t for Liu Maoxing’s “Shenglong Dumplings” that attracted so much attention from diners and were so creative and interesting, it would be hard to say who would be the final winner of the dumpling competition.

Xia An flipped through the high-definition pictures saved in his phone, found the picture package of "Flame Dumplings", opened it, and read it carefully for a moment.

Ding!
[Recipe: "Flame Dumplings" (90%)]

[Grade: Treasure (Blue)]

[Progress: Cannot be learned and mastered! ]

[This recipe is slightly incomplete, with only 10% of the content missing. You can consume 2 cooking experience points to deduce the complete recipe.]

Xia An's eyes lit up.

It only takes 2 cooking experience points to complete the recipe?
Hold the grass!

Fortunately, the panel judged the recipe as blue quality.

Now, even though I don’t have much experience eating this, it’s definitely worth a try, and the price/performance ratio is quite high!

Without hesitation, the idea came to his mind, and Xia An's mind emerged with the last and most important process of the flame dumplings made by the Dumpling Brothers -

A naked muscular man with a dragon tattoo on his body, named Wu Lu, is the younger brother of the Jiaozi brothers.

He had a mouthful of strong liquor in his mouth.

Holding a burning torch.

"call--"

As the macho man spit out.

The flames, like the breath of a fire dragon, instantly engulfed the frying pan.

Xia An: ? ?

If we say that "Kaihua Guoba" is a juggling act between kitchen utensils and how to control them.

Then, the last step of the cooking process of "Flame Dumplings" is basically a blatant show of skill.

It's full of gimmicks.

But think about it, there's nothing wrong with needing a gimmick to attract diners.

After all, in the dumpling competition, the competition is about the number of meals taken, to see who can attract the most diners.

"This last step can be replaced by a flamethrower."

After Xia An sorted it out carefully, he roughly understood why the panel judged recipes such as "Flame Dumplings" as blue.

Because these recipes do not require any tricks and are simple and easy to make.

But it is difficult to reproduce it 100%.

The recipe most likely contains the unique flaming ultimate flavor of Dumpling Brothers!
"Try it and see how well I can make the flaming dumplings with my [Great Mastery] skill."

the other side.

Erina Nakiri has already picked out the ingredients.

Prawns, cheese cubes.

Small bag of flour. "I need pine nuts, basil, and Parmesan cheese!"

There were a few ingredients that could not be found, so Erina Nakiri went to Xia An with a little annoyance.

"I'm sorry, the only things stored in my refrigerator are the ingredients commonly used in Chinese cuisine. I don't have any of these Western ingredients."

Xia An paused and said, "It seems that there is Parmesan cheese. Do you want it?"

"never mind."

Erina Nakiri took a deep breath.

She is not in Japan, nor in Totsuki Academy. She does not have a large logistical team to support her. With a very limited range of ingredients to choose from, it is difficult for her to fully utilize her cooking skills, which requires a lot of her adaptability.

She could only open the refrigerator door again, and after a moment, she frowned and took out a handful of celery and a scented lemon.

"Have you prepared all the ingredients? Then make way."

Seeing Xia An squeeze over, he took out a bag of packaged dumpling wrappers from the refrigerator compartment.

Erina Nakiri was surprised: "You want to make dumplings too?"

Xia An glanced at her:
"Oh, your answer to the food battle is also dumplings?"

Hearing this, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but look to the other side of the open kitchen, to the workbench that belonged to Xia An.

I found that Xia An had prepared all the ingredients, including pork, shrimp, and the dumpling wrappers that had just been taken out of the bag.

Then there is a high probability that their food battle dishes will collide head-on!

So for a moment, Erina Nakiri's face became even more tense, and she felt a little panicky as if she had missed the answer.

It was she who insisted on starting the food battle.

If the dishes collide head-on.

He was crushed to pieces by this "master".

Doesn't that mean that we can't even regain the last bit of face?

That's right.

In fact, Erina Nakiri didn't expect to win.

It's nothing but pride and self-esteem at work.

She wanted to leave a very deep impression on this "master" at the first sight with her powerful food battle dishes, and then declare that she was the most talented among all the disciples and the one most worthy of the "master"'s careful training.

However, the food battle begins.

The development of the story is obviously beyond the control of the golden-haired girl.

……

Xia An began to peel the shrimp, pick out the shrimp thread, and then mince the shrimp meat and pork together.
You know, "Flaming Dumplings" are sometimes mistaken for "Flaming Pot Stickers".

But pot stickers and fried dumplings are two different foods, and many people confuse them.

In terms of shape, the difference between the two is that normal pot stickers have an opening, while dumplings are sealed and pinched on both sides.

From a cooking perspective, fried dumplings pay more attention to uniform heating as a whole, and are usually fried until both sides are golden brown, but pot stickers are crispy on the bottom and soft on the top after frying.

Of course, in Xia An's opinion, the difference between pot stickers and fried dumplings lies in the skin.

But unfortunately!
His basic pastry making skills are at a beginner's level.

Therefore, instead of making crude handmade dumpling wrappers, it is better to use machines to press them directly.

Chop the stuffing and then season it.

The basic seasoning skills that have already [reached perfection] allow Xia An to perform well in this area and keep a safe lower limit, making it unlikely that he will have an accident with cooking skills below 6 stars.

"Salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, white pepper..."

Soon the sauce and fillings are thoroughly mixed, and the next step is to make dumplings.

Although he was not good at making noodles, Xia An was quite skilled at making dumplings. After all, he had experience in selling fried dumplings with a random menu at a stall.

However, to shape the dumplings into the shape of "Flame Dumplings" requires a lot of skill, and it's hard to do it if you're not good at it.

"Sigh--"

Put the dumplings into the frying pan one by one.

Then the fragrance began to spread.

Behind Xia An.

Erina Nakiri, who was still making ravioli, smelled the scent and just took a slight inhalation.

The proud golden peacock girl's face was full of disbelief.

Ok? !

The fair body felt so hot as if it was being roasted.

What about clothes?
