Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

At this point, the commander-in-chief paused, then turned to Ye Chen and said, "And the fact that your cooking has repeatedly pleased Erina shows that you possess the skills of a world-class top chef!"

……

something.

It's actually very difficult to change.

Just like after Nakiri Managi ran away from home, in order to make God Tongue the strongest weapon, Nakiri Azami forcibly carried out a kind of ideological education reform on Erina!

Every day, Erina is confined to a small dark room and forced to eat various dishes, which completely destroys her original simple and optimistic personality.

have to say.

His transformation was quite successful.

A full 10 years.

Erina has lost interest in all commoner dishes and even considers them "pig swill," throwing them directly into the trash can.

Even after Azami Nakiri was expelled from Totsuki Academy, she became extremely stubborn!

……

And then Ye Chen appeared.

Oh, and it all started with the first time I encountered a fantasy ingredient and was terrified by an apple.

Erina gradually realized that her past cooking concepts and understanding might be wrong, and at the same time, she felt a feeling she had never experienced before because of Ye Chen's cooking!

On the other hand.

Azami Nakiri's educational philosophy left her bewildered.

Therefore, during this period, she often woke up in the middle of the night, mainly because one question kept bothering her:

Cooking.

what is it?

Chapter 65 Who is superior and who is inferior?

night!

It's deeper now.

As dusk settles, Paris remains bathed in a dazzling array of neon lights.

In this romantic international city, there is a luxury hotel that stands out. It is an overseas investment property of the Nakiri family, Japan's most prestigious and financially powerful family!

now.

Inside the hotel kitchen.

The lights were so bright it was like daytime.

Erina, dressed in a pristine white chef's uniform, was closing her eyes slightly and taking a deep breath.

Then, she opened her bright eyes, exuding a powerful aura, and reached for a sharp kitchen knife, the blade gleaming coldly under the light.

Whoosh whoosh!

Without saying a word, Erina swung her sword down.

Soon, she had cut all the pork belly on the cutting board into slices.

Add two spoonfuls of honey.

Mix well.

Cut half an onion into 1 cm wide pieces, and grate the ginger into a paste, about 1 spoonful.

Pour half a bowl of soy sauce into the bowl of ginger paste. Put a little oil in a frying pan, stir-fry the pork belly slices until both sides turn white, then remove them from the pan. Next, stir-fry the onions in the same pan.

Once the onions are half-cooked, add the pork belly slices back in.

Add the previously prepared ginger and soy sauce mixture and simmer briefly until the sauce thickens.

cabbage.

Cut into thin strips and arrange on a plate.

Place the prepared pork belly on top, and you're done!

……

This dish.

In Japan, it has a charming name: ginger yakiniku (生姜焼き).

The translated meaning is braised pork with ginger sauce.

It's a national favorite in Japan, with a long history dating back to the early 20th century.

During the Taisho era, the Great Kanto Earthquake brought immense disaster to Japan, but it also unexpectedly spurred the rise of the pig farming industry.

Pork has gradually become a common ingredient on people's tables, and this ginger-grilled pork dish evolved from Osaka's "teppanyaki". After continuous improvement and development, in 1932, it was officially named "Pork Ginger Grill".

Using thinly sliced ​​pork tenderloin or pork shoulder as the main ingredient, its core process includes three steps.

First of all.

The meat slices are trimmed of tendons to ensure they are tender and smooth.

Then, the ginger paste is mixed with soy sauce, mirin, and sake to make a sweet and spicy sauce.

The final step is to coat the fish in flour, pan-fry it, and then reduce the sauce over high heat.

The charm of this dish lies in the clever use of ginger. Gingerol can neutralize the fishy smell of meat and stimulate appetite. Paired with shredded cabbage to cut through the richness, miso soup and rice make a classic set meal!

……

Get closer and smell it.

Hisako, with her short pink hair, exclaimed excitedly, "It smells so good! As expected of a dish cooked by the young lady herself, the aroma alone is enough to make one feel intoxicated."

"It's been a while since I've made these home-style dishes. I'm feeling a bit inspired today, so please give them a try."

Erina spoke calmly.

"Let me eat?"

Hisako was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

Then, an incredulous look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Then I won't be polite!"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, deftly picked up a small piece of ginger-braised pork, and then gently brought the pork to her mouth, taking a careful bite.

……

In the cooking process.

Every taste memory.

In fact, it all stems from a deep longing for their hometown.

For Hisako at least, ginger-braised pork is definitely her favorite dish from her memories!

The Japanese drama "Gakuen no Shitsu" (The Grim Reaper) was a hit on Bilibili, with many viewers enjoying the character of a yakuza boss who used extremely ordinary ingredients to create various delicious dishes. One of the dishes featured in episode 7 was...

Braised pork with ginger!

Although it is a fairly common Japanese dish, it has a flavor that "no one can dislike".

The dialogue in the play is as follows:

The male protagonist exclaimed in surprise, "How can braised pork with ginger be so tender and juicy?"

The middle-aged man said indifferently, "The meat is cheap, but I added honey. Honey is naturally sweet, so all you need to do is add ginger and soy sauce. Then, roast it over high heat until it's cooked through, which will prevent the meat from becoming tough!"

Afterwards, the male lead, with a blissfully silly expression, exclaimed, "The tender pork with the sweet and spicy sauce is so delicious!"

……

Ah!

It's so delicious!

This final sigh perfectly encapsulates Hisako's feelings at this moment.

It's hard to imagine that this flavorful dish only requires honey, soy sauce, and ginger as seasonings. The ginger paste adheres to the meat, creating a very layered texture.

A mouthful of meat.

A mouthful of rice.

They even devoured the soup.

Finally, Hisako put down her bowl, completely satisfied, and licked her lips.

"Young Miss, I'm truly in awe of your culinary skills! Even a simple ginger-braised pork dish is so delicious it makes me swoon. The tender meat and the perfectly controlled seasoning are simply beyond my expectations!"

"The ginger juice, in particular, has a perfect flavor that removes the fishy smell and enhances the freshness, making every bite a feeling of pure bliss."

"Correct!"

“This smell.”
