Shokugeki no Sora: Obtain Lan Feihong's inheritance at the beginning!

"So what kind of oil do you think Ruishan used?"

"When frying tempura, chefs usually choose between sesame oil, rapeseed oil, or safflower oil."

Yoshino Yuuki hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“But if it was Senior Eishan, he would definitely mix the frying oil himself after selecting the ingredients.”

“This allows the ingredients to have the mellow taste of the frying oil while still maintaining their own flavor.”

The feeling of uneasiness in everyone's heart grew even stronger.

"Is there so much to pay attention to when it comes to frying tempura?"

Daigo Aoki scratched his head but could only mutter to himself.

It sounds simple to prepare the frying oil for tempura according to the ingredients used.

However, how to adjust the ratio between various oils based on the characteristics of the ingredients themselves is also a problem that troubles countless chefs.

However, Yoshino Yuuki is more worried about the problems that will occur afterwards.

"Each oil has different characteristics, and the oil point suitable for frying is also different."

"If you mix your own frying oil, it's two levels more difficult to find the best frying point than mixing frying oil."

"If Senior Ruishan can really do this accurately..."

This means that Eiyama Ezu's skills in deep-frying dishes are really reaching their ceiling.

"There's no movement from Lin Hanjun yet. It looks like..."

Tanosuke Hui looked in Lin Han's direction worriedly.

"Okay, the oil is boiling, and Senior Ruishan is putting the ingredients that need to be fried into the pot."

"Ah - such a pleasant boiling sound is like a soothing tune in the afternoon."

Kawashima Rei made an expression of ecstasy.

The batter on the surface of the food, wrapped in oil filled with boiling bubbles, expands rapidly under the catalysis of high temperature and becomes more translucent.

The originally snow-white batter turns into an appetizing light yellow due to the high temperature.

It looks crispy at first glance.

As the oil temperature rises, the hot steam rising from the pot makes people want to take a bite while it's hot.

But at the same time, a stronger aroma of meat wafted from the other side of the competition stage.

"Wow, this fragrance..."

Kawashima Rei was unconsciously attracted by the delicious smell of meat and took a closer look.

“It’s the filling that Lin Hanjun is making!”

"The thick slices of marinated beef are grilled to fully bring out the flavor of the meat."

Kawashima Rei unconsciously took a few steps forward, as if wanting to savor the rich fragrance more carefully.

The fried beef, along with other fillings, is wrapped in dough.

"Lin Hanjun's hands are very fast. He wrapped three in the blink of an eye... Is this a steamed bun?"

Kawashima Rei looked in amazement at the eighteen folds, all without exception, on the snow-white dough wrapped around the filling.

"It's actually steamed buns? Is he planning to fry them?"

The audience was in an uproar.

Even Erina Nakiri in the luxurious box was a little surprised.

"Is he crazy? He actually wants to use fried buns to compete with Eizan's tempura!"

"After deep-frying, the thick bun skin is inferior to tempura in terms of the outer layer alone."

"Besides, the filling is made of fatty beef, and the deep-frying method only makes the dish even greasier!"

Erina Nakiri couldn't suppress the urge to get up and question Lin Han.

But from her perspective, she could see Lin Han's calm and confident smile throughout the whole process, as well as his previous experiences.

Telling her.

You have to trust Lin Han's judgment.

"If you are so confident, then let me see what kind of amazing dish you are going to make."

"Let's defeat Eizan Ezuya."

Erina Nakiri, who seemed to be high above and overlooking the overall situation, did not expect this.

I originally came here with the mentality of just watching the show, but now the balance of victory in my heart has shifted.

She had already leaned towards the person she expected.

[53] The Alchemist's Magic Hand! (2nd update, please add to favorites! Please give me flowers!)

"Okay, both sides have already started the final preparations."

On the other side, Eiyama Eduzou's tempura has come out of the pot, and Eiyama Eduzou is also making the final arrangement.

The emerald and red dish was wrapped in a golden coating as thin as a cicada's wing.

With the perfect control of the chopsticks in Eizun's hand, the crispy crust did not crack at all.

Eiyama Ezu, who specializes in fried and grilled dishes, also uses layers as inspiration for plating.

The thin slices of beef, which have turned dark red after being fried at high temperature, are carefully trimmed into the shape of roses.

Taking the taste into consideration, Eishan Ezu did not fry the beef thoroughly.

Instead, it retains a portion of the bright red color of the raw beef to imitate the bright red color of a bleeding rose.

Vegetables such as chrysanthemum leaves, asparagus, and day lilies are placed next to the beef with petals as decoration.

"My cooking is done."

Eishan Ezu also pressed the completion button with confidence.

"Please enjoy our Harukage Tempura."

Three plates of almost identical food were placed on the counter.

"Green vegetables, delicious beef, ah, I really want to know what kind of rich taste will burst out when these ingredients are combined?"

Although the theme of tempura is light, it still cannot stop the aroma of the food from bursting out after high-temperature frying.

Even the three judges sitting at the judging table couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It smells good."

"It has a nice color and nice aroma. Just by looking at the smell, I can already imagine how delicious it will taste."

"As expected of a dish made by the alchemist Eizan-kun."

These three judges are not teachers of Totsuki Academy.

Rather, he is a gourmet who is also well-known in the culinary world.

One of them has a chain of Japanese restaurants all over the world.

The other is a director and producer who specializes in food documentaries and has extensive experience in culinary knowledge.

The remaining one is a professional gourmet who often travels around the world to taste various cuisines.

He is an absolute authority in food reviews.

Given the status of these three people, naturally no one dared to object to serving as judges for this food battle competition.

"Okay, Senior Ruishan has already finished his cooking, so what about Lin Hanjun——"

Including Kawashima Rei, everyone unconsciously looked in Lin Han's direction.

"Lin Hanjun is about to complete the final frying step. The ingredients he is frying... are they really steamed buns?"

Look at the round shape and the buns that gradually turn golden under high temperature frying.

Kawashima Rei was surprised.

Not to mention the huge size of the buns, which makes it difficult to fry them completely.

Even if they are fried thoroughly, the buns will still be somewhat greasy.

If such a dish is compared with the light and delicious tempura, it will be difficult for it to win!

This is what everyone watching the food battle competition was secretly thinking in their hearts.

Lin Han should be very clear about why this is the case. This cooking method is not a wise choice.

Or does he think that Eiyama Ezuya will also come up with fried dishes with the same strong taste and texture to compete with him?

But if this is the reason, we can only say that Lin Han seems to have really miscalculated.

Ruishan Zhizu also pushed the glasses on his nose and looked in Lin Han's direction calmly.

"My cooking is done too."

Lin Han quickly handed in his work.

Three golden fried round buns were also served on three separate plates.

"Wow, the color of this bun really looks adorable."

After Kawashima Rei reluctantly gave a compliment, she couldn't think of anything else to say.

After all, from the outside, Lin Han’s cooking…

It’s really just a golden fried bun!

It wasn't just her, others seemed to think so too.

When Lin Han's fried buns were projected onto the big screen, Tansho Kei and others were also in the audience.

I even heard boos from people around me.

"What the hell are you doing? You're just trying to fool everyone with a dish like fried buns."

"That's right. If it were me, I would definitely choose Eizan's tempura just by looking at it."

"Haha, Ruishan is sure to win this time."

Even when the three judges looked at Lin Han's food, a hint of contempt flashed across their eyes.

"Let's try Eisan-kun's food first. If we eat the fried buns first, we might be too greasy to eat later."

Igarashi Hideki, the manager of a Japanese restaurant chain, said.

The other two judges also nodded in approval.

Ruishan Zhizu also glanced at Lin Han proudly, but the latter seemed too lazy to respond to him at all.

"Hehe, let's see how long you can be so arrogant."

Eishan Ezu also secretly clenched his fists.

He walked towards the judges' seat carrying the Harukage Tempura.

"Ah, this taste, the rich but not greasy aroma of fat, and the freshness of the ingredients, is really a moving taste."

Igarashi Hideki picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth and started chewing.

"Mm! The beef is fresh and tender. Although it is fried, once you bite through the outermost layer of the barely visible batter, the tender beef tastes delicious and bursts with rich gravy."

"The batter is thin and crispy at just the right temperature, while the beef seems to melt in your mouth, giving you a different level of taste."

"The sweet gravy, the beef must have been marinated with special seasonings to make it so addictive!"

Even the gourmet Karasawa Haruka nodded frequently.

“Moreover, this sauce even makes the beef itself, which is arranged into flower petals, taste as sweet as flower petals.”

“It’s hard to imagine that this perfect rich taste and flavor can be tasted from fried food!”

Food director Kei Irie also picked up a piece of asparagus and tasted it.

“Although it is fried, apart from the delicious grease of the frying oil itself, the food does not feel greasy at all.”
