Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

Moreover, he praised her repeatedly afterward, which made Kiyoshi Gotabayashi a little smug.

He turned his head and saw Erina still busy making sukiyaki, so he couldn't help but say proudly, "I'm a specialist in making hot pot dishes. Back when I was in the research association, I often sparred with my seniors~"

"Ok!"

Erina simply responded with a single word.

He then ignored him and continued making the sukiyaki.

……

Sukiyaki.

It is a type of hot pot where ingredients are cooked in a small amount of sauce.

Typically, the ingredients include high-quality sliced ​​beef, such as marbled beef, scallions, konjac, tofu, and shredded lettuce. These ingredients are cooked in a broth made of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, and then eaten with a raw egg.

Sukiyaki became popular in Japan around the end of the 19th century.

initial.

Serve the iron pot with a small amount of sauce.

Then add the beef and grill over high heat until cooked through.

So why is it called すき焼き in Japanese?

Because "すき＝鋤" means chu shao, it is said to have evolved from the ancient practice of roasting meat on an iron shovel.

……

Time, after a short while, passed by.

When the time was right, Erina's eyes narrowed, and she hurriedly opened the lid of the casserole.

In an instant, the water mist hidden inside burst open, rising in wisps. Finally, it swept across the entire arena with overwhelming force!

It was hazy and indistinct.

But upon closer inspection, one discovers that the air is fresh, delicate, and serene.

It has no cloying sweetness, nor is it elusive or elusive. In short, I can't quite describe what kind of aroma it is. All I know is that the smell wafting from the clay pot is incredibly fragrant!

……

It has fast heat transfer.

Slow heat dissipation.

It has exceptional heat retention capabilities.

It cannot be denied that the unique material of the Tianchao casserole allows the food inside to maintain a near-boiling temperature 5 to 10 minutes after the heat is turned off.

The reason for this lies in the fact that a clay pot can transfer external heat to the ingredients inside in a balanced and sustained manner. The relatively balanced ambient temperature is conducive to the mutual penetration of water molecules and food, which can maximize the release of the food's flavor.

That's why Erina could fill the entire competition venue with steam and aroma as soon as she lifted the lid of the casserole!

However, the most important thing is...

The entire casserole dish was filled with a lot of ingredients.

It's like a giant furnace, blending all the ingredients together harmoniously.

"what?"

"This...this is actually a seafood-themed sukiyaki?"

As the misty fog dissipated, the true appearance of Erina's sukiyaki dish was finally revealed to everyone.

……

soup!

Extremely fresh and fragrant.

It's hard to imagine that a soup made from bonito flakes, which appears pure on the surface, is so rich and flavorful.

Every drop is enough to leave you wanting more!

Next, I picked up a slice of snowflake beef, dipped it in the pot, and quickly put it in my mouth, chewing it slowly.

"As expected of the Elite Ten's cooking."

"The marbled beef is tender and has very little tendon and fat. The meat is smooth and flavorful, rich but not greasy. It is tender and flavorful, and every bite is full of oil, but you will not feel greasy."

"When combined with the bonito-flavored broth, it's simply divine."

"Yes!"

"so amazing."

"Besides Wagyu beef, there's crab, shrimp, salmon, onions, enoki mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, konjac noodles, tofu, and rice..."

"My goodness, they've managed to blend so many ingredients together so perfectly, and it still tastes delicious!"

Chapter 86 This is definitely a genius

finally.

After discussion.

The judging results of this food battle were then made public!

Erina's seafood sukiyaki dish defeated Kiyoshi Gotabayashi's sumo hot pot with a score of 5:0.

Such a result.

At first, everyone could have predicted it.

However, when the large screen hanging in the air displayed 5:0, the atmosphere was still in an uproar.

"Wow!"

"Kiyoshi Gouda was actually defeated by the young lady in an instant."

"Yes, and the culinary theme of their duel is hot pot, which is his specialty!"

"It's over, it's over. The Sumo Hot Pot Research Association is probably doomed. And which cooking research association will be next to be targeted?"

"Who knows~"

For a time, everyone was talking about it.

It's said that people love a good show, and everyone actually felt a sense of schadenfreude when Erina destroyed the Sumo Hot Pot Cooking Research Association, which had a glorious history, in an instant!

……

"How could this be?"

"My most successful and proudest sumo hot pot dish actually lost?"

Kiyoshi Gouda held his head in his hands, his face contorted in pain. He found the result of the match unacceptable and utterly incomprehensible!

Meanwhile, the victorious Erina picked up a small silver spoon, scooped up a little bit of the rich broth from the sumo hot pot, sipped it lightly, and then closed her eyes to savor the taste.

Followed by.

She opened her bright eyes.

His expression was perfectly calm as he turned his head and stared sharply at Gotabayashi Kiyoshi.

"Your Asuka Sumo Hot Pot, while seemingly rich in flavor and able to bring out the full value of each ingredient, has 18 major flaws and 25 minor mistakes, for example..."

"The pork bones were cooked for too short a time."

"The flavor doesn't fully infuse into the broth, making it somewhat bland."

"As for the ingredients, either the salt was one-tenth too much, or the soy sauce was 2 milliliters too little. And the Asuka Sumo Hot Pot, which is supposed to be a specialty, was missing Hokkaido potatoes and cabbage."

"As for the cooking time, the timing of the heat control was inaccurate, which prevented the soup from fully developing its flavor, resulting in a waste of so many precious ingredients."

"how come?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi Gotabayashi's face instantly turned pale.

Then, with a "bang," the obese body collapsed limply to the ground, a look of despair on its face.

……

Since the outcome has already been decided.

Many people's attention was drawn to Erina.

In particular, she was able to analyze Kiyoshi Gotabayashi's sumo hot pot dishes in a very logical way using only her God Tongue ability, which made me admire her even more!

"All right."

"The results of the match are in."

"From then on, there was no longer a so-called Sumo Hot Pot Cooking Research Association in Totsuki, but only my 7th Cooking Building, the 10th Seat of the Elite Ten."

After saying that, Erina turned back and gave a cold look to Kiyoshi Gotabayashi, who looked like a stray dog.

Her eyes were naturally filled with disdain for this kind of minor role.

Then, she turned to Hisako and said calmly, "Contact the demolition team on site. They can demolish the headquarters building of the Sumo Hot Pot Cuisine Research Association by explosives."
