Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

……

"what?"

"This dish could not be..."

"Parisian cabbage rolls?"

On the other side, Alice Nakiri's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although cabbage has many uses—it can be used in soups, cold dishes, hot pot, and even, incredibly, deep-fried—making it into cabbage rolls is still relatively uncommon!

I thought about it.

Alice had a slight understanding.

After all, in her memory, Chappelle Rolland, who was directly under the education department, seemed to be a lecturer who was good at French cuisine.

Could it be that he made this dish?

Alice's eyes lit up, and she picked up her chopsticks with some anticipation, taking a small cabbage roll and savoring it.

……

Parisian cabbage rolls.

The main ingredients are very simple, only two, and they are very common ingredients: cabbage and scallions.

The cooking technique can be summed up in one word: boiling.

French cuisine.

As one of the world's three major cuisines.

Naturally, in France, everything related to dining is treated as a sacred ritual. Therefore, French cuisine offers two of the most admired aesthetic pleasures: delicious food and conversation.

This is why French cuisine is characterized by its wide selection of ingredients, meticulous processing, and sophisticated cooking techniques.

In terms of flavor, there are both strong and mild options, and a wide variety of dishes are available.

however.

Parisian cabbage is actually not a very high-end dish.

This dish can be made frequently by ordinary families.

……

Take a bite.

The aroma of the vegetables is irresistible, and their flavor is simply delicious.

The taste is refreshing and crisp.

Therefore, Alice couldn't help but exclaim, "I see! This white sauce is oyster soup, and the fresh cabbage is blended into the oyster soup after being mashed into a puree."

"In this way, it feels as if it melts on the tongue the moment it enters the mouth."

"Thus, the rich flavor is released instantly and spreads out naturally."

……

of course.

The most important ingredient in this dish is definitely the cabbage.

Blanching cabbage in boiling water not only preserves its freshness but also washes away any earthy taste. Furthermore, the crisp, sweet cabbage has an exceptionally delicate texture.

This rich sweetness elevates the entire dish to a whole new level.

Ah!

have to say.

Alice could sense the meticulous and precise techniques used in preparing this dish, as well as the pursuit of perfection!

Then, simply pour on the oyster soup.

The silky melting sensation, without a trace of fishiness, and the sweet taste of fruitwood, combined with the savory and smooth broth, along with the crisp and sweet cabbage... this combination is simply perfect.

By the end, the taste had completely overwhelmed my tongue.

no doubt.

The person who made this dish.

Even Alice, a "golden girl" skilled in molecular gastronomy, is far superior to her!

deep feeling.

Focus.

Such a taste perfectly embodies the essence of French cuisine.

Who else but Kojiro Shinomiya could prepare French vegetable dishes with such exquisite skill? Even Roland Chappell, known for his meticulous style, would find it difficult to achieve this level!

"Is this the level of the examiners?"

Alice swallowed hard, her eyes brimming with tears, and fell into deep thought.

"Cough cough..." Just then, Hisako suddenly lowered her head and coughed violently. She had obviously choked because she had eaten too fast.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Erina, who usually eats with elegance, couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Then, she gently patted Hisako's back, her expression filled with worry and tension.

"It's alright, Miss!"

Hisako swallowed, then took a deep breath and replied with a smile.

She then continued eating her squid ink pasta.

……

Squid ink pasta, a culinary icon of Italy, originated in Venice, the "City of Water."

Squid ink pasta, as the name suggests, is made by kneading pasta with fresh squid ink and then cooking it in fresh squid ink. The main ingredient in the sauce is squid ink! The cooked pasta is jet black and elastic, but has no fishy smell at all.

Beneath the delicious noodles, there seemed to be a subtle hint of sea saltiness and a delicate aroma of olive oil.

Of course.

Its appearance and presentation must be terrible.

It's a dark, blob-like thing that smells slightly fishy. Eating it is like eating its saliva—and, well, squid ink does seem to be its saliva after all.

There is a legend about squid ink pasta that says that the Black Death once broke out in Venice, killing many people.

later.

God's messenger.

The arrival of squid ink noodles finally stopped the spread of the plague.

After that, this dark, squid ink pasta became a unique Venetian delicacy!

Unlike other pasta dishes, squid ink pasta is made with the juice of fresh squid from the Adriatic Sea and served with olive oil, so it doesn't have a fishy taste.

……

Look closely.

This is a squid ink pasta dish.

It is very different from the noodles you usually see.

Regular noodles are made from flour. In terms of color, noodles are usually light yellow or white. But this squid ink pasta dish features noodles that are a deep black.

Ah!

Calling it "dark cuisine" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

It seems that Italians are good at making pasta and rice dishes, making them for almost every meal, and they come in a wide variety of types and flavors.

Just one bite and Hisako was instantly amazed. Not only was the ramen extremely "ink-rich", but even the sauce was made with squid ink.

Squid ink itself has a slightly salty and very fresh taste. This freshness, mixed with various seafood ingredients such as shrimp, shellfish and squid rings, and with a hint of cheese flavor in the aftertaste... it is truly irresistible!

The noodles themselves are quite refreshing.

Simultaneously.

It's also slightly spicy.

In addition to baby squid, they also provided plenty of squid rings, which weren't overly strong in flavor but had a mellow and lingering aroma, with no fishy or unpleasant smell at all.

The noodles are exceptionally springy; even a single noodle offers a delightful balance of subtle umami and refreshing flavor that soothes the palate.

All the time.

It makes you feel that the seasonings are perfectly combined!
