Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

Managi Nakiri, who usually doesn't like drinking, perhaps because the strictness of her work has made her used to keeping a clear head, was in a good mood at this moment and really wanted to drink. So she quickly uncorked the bottle and poured herself a glass of wine.

She took a closer sniff; the wine had a rich yet not pungent aroma, as if a mysterious magic was drawing her in to explore its secrets.

then.

I took a small sip.

Soon, you can feel the mellow wine gliding smoothly over your tongue.

The silky smooth texture, like silk, leaves an endless aftertaste in your mouth.

A complex, rich aroma of liquor instantly fills the mouth, like a feast for the senses. Upon closer tasting, one can discover even more captivating fragrances.

Like a gentle breeze in spring, it softly caresses the heart.

Unconsciously, Nakiri Managi exhaled a faint breath of sake, a breath carrying a hint of satisfaction and contentment.

"Whoo~"

She breathed a sigh of relief.

His face beamed with satisfaction: "That was so satisfying! The wine here is definitely the best!"

After speaking, Nakiri Managi put down her sake cup and looked at Ye Chen.

"After all, this wine is made from the mythical ingredient of snake frog, and brewed by me personally. Compared to the wines sold in the market, its flavor is definitely more mellow and delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face lit up with a smug expression, and he couldn't help but boast in reply.

"right!"

Upon hearing this, Nakiri Managi could only laugh.

Her smile was as radiant and captivating as a spring flower: "Who doesn't know that you've always kept many wonderful things hidden here?"

After that, she didn't mince words and went straight to the point with Ye Chen, saying, "After being apart for so long, I imagine you still have some new fantasy ingredients, right?"

It can be seen.

There was a hint of urgency in her voice.

They seemed eager to explore Ye Chen's "new treasure."

……

"Of course!"

Ye Chen replied with a smile.

That confident smile seemed to be telling Nakiri Managi that there would always be unexpected surprises here.

"I now have a new fantasy ingredient, the Rice Bowl Fruit."

"Huh? Rice bowl fruit?"

Nakiri Managi was taken aback upon hearing this.

That puzzled look seemed to ask, "What is this strange thing?"

"I don't know what kind of plant it is, but it can grow all kinds of rice bowls, such as pork cutlet rice bowls, beef rice bowls, oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowls), fried shrimp rice bowls, etc. It's a natural bento box for wilderness survival..."

Seeing this, Ye Chen patiently explained.

The detailed description seemed to present a fantastical scene to Nakiri Managi.

"what?"

After hearing this, Nakiri Managi immediately stared at Ye Chen with pitiful eyes.

His eyes were filled with longing, as if to say:

Let me try some.

Seeing this, Ye Chen naturally understood what she meant.

So he turned back to the kitchen counter and got to work. His movements were skilled and quick, like a highly skilled magician about to conjure up a delicious miracle!

……

In China.

Wu-style fast food comes in two forms.

One type consists of several dishes, a soup, and a bowl of rice. This is traditionally called "guest meal," and it is also the mainstream of today's fast food.

The best-performing Wu-region chain brand should be Changzhou's Lihua Fast Food, which has basically expanded beyond the Yangtze River Delta to become a major national brand and also has a significant influence in Beijing.

If there's only one dish, it's usually a "rice bowl".

Pouring vegetables over rice is a common practice and term in most parts of the country, so there's nothing particularly special about it.

Besides.

There are "mixed rice" and "fried rice".

This cannot be considered a combination of rice and vegetables, because the vegetables do not have their own distinct characteristics.

Bibimbap, such as the salted pork and vegetable rice in Shanghai, is quite distinctive, while fried rice is relatively mediocre, with egg fried rice, sausage fried rice, beef fried rice, etc., nothing worth mentioning.

all in all.

Deliciousness is always the ultimate criterion for judging food.

Rice bowls, in the family of delicious food, may not have a high status; at most, they can be considered bento boxes or fast food.

However, when it comes to a truly authentic and high-quality beef rice bowl, fast food cannot be the standard.

Ye Chen's carefully prepared beef rice bowl features tender, cooked onions and slices of fatty beef lightly placed on top of freshly cooked white rice, then generously drizzled with several spoonfuls of savory and rich sauce.

This irresistible combination of ingredients is all about generous portions!

After all.

That's a generous amount of ingredients.

It is a generous gift to diners.

Meanwhile, the seemingly inexpensive white onion actually has a milder flavor and is even "sweeter," adding a touch of sweetness to the soup.

That subtle sweetness, like the little joys in life, allows one to feel warmth and sweetness while enjoying delicious food.

Clearly, this beef rice bowl is visually appealing and incredibly delicious. The rich aroma of the meat, combined with the fresh scent of onions, is a combination that whets the appetite, creating a truly culinary feast.

……

Muran.

Before anyone could react...

Ye Chen, however, held an egg high, his movements like those of an elegant artist displaying his masterpiece.

Then, he gently cracked the egg onto the beef rice bowl.

beef.

onion.

They're all on the rice.

At this point, add a raw egg yolk and pour more broth over it, and it will look even better!

The golden egg yolk, like the bright moon in the night sky, is set on this delicious beef rice bowl, making one's mouth water.

……

Well known.

A properly cooked sliced ​​beef should be slightly reddish, not a dull, ashen color after being boiled for ten minutes or more.

As for the tender and juicy beef, if paired with soft and tender onions, accompanied by smooth egg liquid and very flavorful soup, it is like a symphony of flavors, where various tastes intertwine and play a beautiful movement.

Soy sauce, mirin, sake, beef broth, rice vinegar... these rich seasonings can make a bowl of beef over rice look golden and shiny.

Ah!

Under the lights.

It looks more like it's glowing.

It was like a dazzling pearl, radiating an alluring light.

Maybe?

This is what makes a truly authentic and top-quality beef rice bowl!

Simply crack the raw egg open, and the tender yellow yolk will flow gently into the bowl like a babbling brook. Add a touch of special soy sauce and stir it together with the rice.

The melt-in-your-mouth egg yolk, paired with plump grains of rice, is simply perfect!

Every single bite.

It was as if they were savoring the beauty of life.

Yes, it's captivating!

……

"Hmm~"
