Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Through close cooperation and coordination between the two, they finally achieved the most suitable proportions of the dish during the twentieth seasoning.

　now...

　Erina Nakiri's face was full of enjoyment.

　"The eel paste is delicate as petals, falling lightly like cherry blossoms fluttering in spring, bringing a touch of gentle softness."

　The pork belly is like an intense firecracker, bursting with a rich and elastic flavor that stimulates every corner of the taste buds.

　Meanwhile, the subtle salty aroma of the ham gently rises, like the finishing touch, adding the most perfect layers of flavor to this dish.

　The final addition of a sauce made from a mixture of kumquat oil and salted lemon juice creates a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavors, with a texture that is both crunchy and soft, and an irresistible sweet aroma.

　Feeling the exquisitely delicate flavor in her mouth, Erina Nakiri subconsciously grabbed onto Shirabuchi's chair, her body trembling slightly.

　"This feeling is just like the brilliant rainbow on the horizon after the rain."

　Not only is it visually appealing, but it also creates an amazing culinary miracle on the tip of the tongue!

　Erina Nakiri exhaled a long breath, her face showing indescribable enjoyment. She finally understood why Shirai had developed this dish.

　This was only because they were not skilled enough. If it were Bai Yuan, I can't imagine how delicious the dish he would have cooked would have been!

　"Now it's up to them."

　Seeing the empty plates in front of the other judges, Bai Yuan swallowed the rest of the food and then looked at Nakiri Kaede and the others.

　While they were enjoying the "Dragon Through Tiger's Belly," Nakiri Kaede and the others prepared a salad, which appeared to be a dish to accompany the grilled meat.

　At this moment, their cooking has entered the final step: preparing the sauce for the dish.

　Take 40 grams each of butter and flour. Add the butter first, and let it melt.

　After melting, add flour and stir. Simmer over low heat for five minutes, then add the chicken broth you just made.

　Season with salt and pepper, and thicken to the point where it clings to the sides of a spoon.

　Chop the parsley and mint.

　Add garlic, capers, and an anchovy to a mortar and pestle and pound them together. Pour the mixture into a bowl and mix with parsley and mint.

　After finishing, add the juice of half a lemon, a spoonful of Dijon mustard, melt it with olive oil and stir well. Add seasonings according to the taste.

　And that's how you make the special sauce.

　Because they spend so much time together and are siblings from the same mother, they know each other very well. Furthermore, due to their individual strengths, the quality of their creations is significantly higher than those made individually.

　"Fortunately, there was no time limit for this food battle, which gave us plenty of time, otherwise it would have been really difficult to make this dish."

　Everything is ready except for the barbecue.

　Watching the oil sizzle in the oven and the pork skin begin to bubble and roast, Nakiri Kaede muttered to herself, her eyes filled with anticipation.

　Soon, another hour had passed.

　"Come on, let's make an original three-person meal: Tornado Crispy Roasted Pork Belly. This is a collaborative dish that wouldn't reach the top-tier level without just one more person!"

　The oven was opened, and a rich aroma instantly filled the kitchen. Excitement appeared on the faces of the three people, and their eyes then turned intently to the judges' panel.

　But then they saw Sen'yokami looking at them with a complicated expression.

　This puzzled them, but they quickly figured it out.

　Perhaps it was because they saw that they had used all their strength to make a top-grade dish, and were afraid of offending Bai Yuan, that they showed that kind of expression.

　However, Grandpa, a cooking competition requires everyone to give it their all; any result achieved by giving up will not be accepted by either side!

　"Please enjoy our crispy roasted pork belly with tornado!"

　After roasting the pork belly, let it rest for about ten minutes. Then, cut it into pieces with a knife, leaving about a finger's width between each piece.

　Place the vegetable salad at the bottom, layer three potato balls on top, and finally put the roasted meat on top, then drizzle with the secret green sauce.

　Because of the heat, the aroma of the green sauce was instantly released, filling the entire kitchen and attracting everyone's attention.

　"It looks pretty good. Those fine, golden oil bubbles really make my mouth water!"

　"Thanks for the compliment."

　Seeing Nakiri Kaede walking towards him and the exquisitely plated dish placed in front of him, Bai Yuan gave a definite exclamation of praise.

　Although these guys aren't exactly decent people, their cooking skills are really good.

　Three top-tier chefs, working together, were able to create a special-grade dish; the Nakiri family is truly skilled at training chefs.

　Although I haven't tasted it yet, the aroma emanating from the dish says it all.

　"The aromas of black pepper, fennel, and juniper berries are gradually released during the roasting process, and the flavors of these spices become even more intense when ground into powder."

　Now, when added to dishes, the flavor is amazing; when combined with pork belly, it imparts a unique aroma.

　Senzaemon Nakiri closed his eyes and savored the aroma of the crispy roasted pork belly, which was the deepest flavor of the pork belly.

　"Not only that, you also added minced garlic and anchovies to the pork, so that the meat has both the spiciness of garlic and the saltiness of anchovies."

　The two ingredients, when ground and mixed, create a unique base flavor that greatly enhances the flavor profile of the grilled meat.

　Beside him, Sen'yūin Nakiri also spoke up, saying that it was precisely because so many kinds of seasonings were used that the dish had such a rich and complex flavor.

　"The key is the orange and lemon peels, which are arguably the most crucial step, as both of these peels contain essential oils."

　Adding it brings a refreshing flavor to the grilled meat while balancing the heaviness of the fat.

　Bai Yuan's voice rang out.

　With each person talking, they quickly dissected the flavor profile of the crispy roasted pork belly.

　With each bite, your tongue can taste the tender and juicy pork belly, as well as the rich flavor of the spices that penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

　The outermost crispy layer provides an even richer texture; the combination of crispness and tenderness makes this dish even more flavorful!

　"The final sauce is a blend of parsley, mint, capers, anchovies, lemon juice and Dijon mustard."

　This creates a flavor profile that combines freshness, sweetness, sourness, and a hint of spiciness, adding more variety to the grilled meat.

　"However, I still prefer these potato balls because they absorb the aroma of the spice oil and are slow-roasted at a low temperature, making them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a rich texture."

　"The vegetable salad also tasted pretty good. It was made in a very classic Italian style and it really helped to cut through the greasiness of the meat."

　The group discussed the dish animatedly, each person chiming in with their own words. Although it looked like just a crispy roasted pork belly dish, a lot of thought and effort had been put into it.

　The hot soup, made with butter, flour, and chicken broth, has an exceptionally rich flavor that perfectly balances the greasiness of the dishes.

　"There's another half of roasted meat over there, bring it over."

　As they discussed, Bai Yuan started calculating the time, and then asked the three excited people to bring the remaining half of the roasted meat from their cooking station.

　"Okay, I'll cut it for you right away."

　This made the others a little puzzled, guessing that Bai Yuan might not have eaten enough, so Nakiri Kaede took the initiative to step forward and offered to help him cut the meat.

　"unnecessary

　"Just take the whole thing."

　Faced with Nakiri Kaede's enthusiasm, Bai Yuan shook his head and coldly told him to take the grilled meat over untouched.

　"it is good."

　Nakiri Kaede didn't say anything more, nodded in agreement, and ran to the cooking station to bring the remaining crispy roasted pork belly to Shirayuki.

　"Young friend Bai Yuan, what's going on here...?"

　Seeing Bai Yuan suddenly draw his kitchen knife, Nakiri Sen'yomori asked in confusion on his right.

　Because of the way his older brother addressed him, he now calls him "Little Friend Bai Yuan," which sounds more intimate.

　"We will make improvements to this dish."

　Without going into details, Bai Yuan simply answered, picked up the white wine jug that Nakiri Alice had prepared, and poured it onto the Wuqu sword.

　He then drew the Wenqu sword and clashed it with the Wuqu sword at an astonishing angle.

　In an instant, tiny sparks appeared at the point of impact between the two blades. Due to the baijiu, flames quickly coiled around the two blades, which Bai Yuan held in his hand like divine weapons from hell!

　"Look at this area. Because of the oven temperature, the heat is not even, so the color is lighter."

　But that's no excuse for you to ignore it. Raising the surrounding temperature with flames will ensure they are heated evenly.

　As Bai Yuan spoke, he placed the knife on it. The crispy skin, which was not of perfect quality to begin with, blossomed with 'life' for the second time under the blessing of the flame.

　"That's your first mistake. The second is the cooking time. The best time to bake this dish is four hours."

　Three and a half hours of slow baking at a low temperature, followed by half an hour of high temperature baking, instead of using the same temperature for two hours.

　Following my method will result in more layers of flavor in the dish, and the taste will be significantly enhanced.

　Seeing the flame on the knife go out, Bai Yuan gently blew on it and then asked the second question about the dish.

　"Next is my personal preference, the second way to cut this crispy roasted pork belly in tornado: cut it into thin slices like char siu."

　As he spoke, Bai Yuan shook the Wuqu Blade in his hand. Everyone present saw a white light flash before their eyes, but no one closed their eyes.

　Everyone stared intently at the knife.

　With astonishing speed, the Wuqu knife rose and fell, turning the crispy roasted pork belly in front of him into a thin slice about two millimeters thick.

　Of course, this is not Bai Yuan's limit. But if the slices are less than two millimeters thick, the outer skin will be brittle and lose its texture and flavor.

　Two millimeters is just right, ensuring both the crispy texture of the whirlwind-baked pork belly and the full flavor of each piece of meat.

　Pour the sauce prepared by Nakiri Kaede over the top, and Bai Yuan continued, "The best time to eat it is to let it cool for thirty minutes before cutting. We've already waited for several hours, so there's no need to save another twenty minutes."

　This is the third question for this dish. Give it a try—the modified crispy tornado-style roasted pork belly.

　"With just a few minor modifications, the dish's grade has been raised to Special Grade Three. That's too exaggerated!"

　Pick up a very thin slice of crispy roasted pork belly and put it in your mouth to enjoy.

　Senzaemon Nakiri's eyes widened instantly. With his years of experience, he could naturally sense the improvement in the taste of the dish.

　This improvement is not minor, but exponential; the extremely thin slices of meat melt in your mouth, bringing a rich and satisfying flavor.

　The crispy crust is the only source of texture, yet it doesn't feel monotonous. After a slight chew, it releases a salty and fragrant aroma, blending together with the rich flavors.

　"So this is the right way to do it."

　Savoring the rich flavor in her mouth, Nakiri Ranye murmured to herself, while Nakiri Nagi took out a notebook and pen from her pocket and began to write.

　For Bai Yuan, this was just a simple instruction, but for them, it was a guiding light in their culinary journey, giving them a clear direction and making it of great significance!

　"Thank you very much for your guidance. Please accept my apology. I shouldn't have said those awful things back then. I'm the one who should apologize the most."

　Looking at Bai Yuan, who had a normal expression, she thought of the outrageous things she had said when they first met.

　The more Nakiri Kaede thought about it, the more she felt like a scoundrel, so she raised her hand and slapped herself a few times.

　"Brother Feng..."

　"Don't stop me, this is what I deserve."

　The sudden attack startled everyone present. Nakiri Nagi and Nakiri Ranye rushed forward to stop him, but he shoved them away.

　"In that case, I'll join you too!"

　"I also..."

　Seeing Nakiri Kaede's resolute expression, Nakiri Nagi and Nakiri Ranyo immediately understood his plan. They then exchanged a glance and slapped themselves as well.

　"Clap~"

　The scene was immediately filled with the sound of slapping.

　Bai Yuan saw all of this, but said nothing, simply watching them silently.

　Under such gazes, their strength increased, slapping faces until they swelled up, and in the end, they even felt a bit of pleasure.

　"Okay, I forgive you."

　After being slapped more than twenty times, Bai Yuan felt much better and spoke up to stop him.

　"Thank you."

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Nakiri Kaede smiled. Compared to the other two, every strike he made was a real blow, and blood even trickled from the corner of his mouth.

　Nagi and Ran-yo, however, were concerned about saving face.

　He didn't use his full strength; although his face turned very red, he wasn't injured.
