Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　"My work is finished too. Please come and have a taste, beautiful lady."

　Ning Feng's voice rang out, and he immediately placed the golden-yellow, sweet-smelling crispy yellow vegetable in front of Nakiri Erina. The dish exuded an incredibly sweet aroma and smelled exceptionally tempting.

　"Candied eggs? That's pretty good. It's a famous dish in Northeast China, often served at wedding banquets. The main ingredient is eggs, which fits the theme of this assessment quite well."

　Looking at the dishes on the plate in front of him, Bai Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the chopsticks that Nakiri Erina had just used and began to taste them.

　"Chief, when did you arrive!?"

　Upon hearing the sound, Ning Feng turned his head, and a mixture of surprise and astonishment appeared on his face.

　"I've been here the whole time. You were so focused on cooking that you didn't notice me, which is also a reflection of your concentration."

　Blinking, Bai Yuan said jokingly.

　That's true, he really has been here since just now, it's just that these guys are all engrossed in...

　Nobody noticed him while he was cooking.

　"Professor Bai Yuan, are you here for an inspection?"

　Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Erina Nakiri asked with a hint of curiosity.

　She had seen Bai Yuan earlier, but he had gestured for her and Hisako not to make a sound, so they hadn't called out to him.

　However, given the current situation, it seems that Bai Yuan knows these examinees? Or perhaps these examinees were arranged by Teacher Bai Yuan himself.

　This explains why their technology is so good.

　"This isn't an inspection. I'm also one of the proctors this time, but you'll be the main one. I'll just observe from the sidelines and let you do as you see fit."

　"Oh? You're also one of the examiners for this assessment?!"

　Bai Yuan's voice wasn't loud. As he spoke, he put the crispy yellow vegetable into his mouth, and a look of enjoyment, the kind that only appears when tasting delicious sweets, appeared on his face.

　"Desserts are indeed wonderful. This crispy yellow vegetable dish is made entirely of eggs, with only a little cornstarch added. It's pulled into strands with perfectly cooked syrup, and the taste is simply amazing. Eating it even improves my mood."

　Savoring the taste, Bai Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration; the charm of sweets was perfectly demonstrated at this moment.

　The crispy yellow vegetable dish has a rich egg flavor, perfectly showcasing the deliciousness of eggs.

　"This dish, which looks like a sesame ball, is entirely made of eggs?! How does it puff up? Is it made like sesame balls...?"

　Add an appropriate amount of cornstarch to the egg mixture and stir well with chopsticks.

　Add plenty of oil to the pan and coat it with it. Then pour out the oil, leaving a little oil at the bottom. Remove the pan from the heat and use the residual heat to pour in half of the egg mixture. After the egg mixture has slightly solidified, fold it over and press it down with a spoon to form an egg pancake with both sides stacked together.

　Cut the egg pancake into small, equal-sized diamond-shaped pieces, then deep-fry them in plenty of oil over low heat. Briefly toss them with the prepared sugar syrup, sprinkle with plenty of white sesame seeds, and the dish is complete.

　Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's question, Hakugen briefly explained the principle.

　Although this dish is simple to make, it perfectly captures the flavor of eggs. I must say, Ning Feng really knows how to stick to the topic.

　"I see!"

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's explanation, Erina Nakiri showed a look of sudden realization.

　Stack two omelets together, press them tightly, and then fry them in oil. They will indeed puff up quickly and become these little bulging balls.

　Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri looked at Hisako Shinoto, who immediately understood and prepared to get another pair of chopsticks, but then saw Shirai pick up a piece of crispy yellow vegetable and bring it to her mouth.

　"Awoo."

　Without much hesitation, Erina Nakiri opened her mouth and took a bite, savoring its sweet taste. Thinking that Bai Yuan had just used these chopsticks, a blush involuntarily appeared on her face.

　"The egg's freshness is fully brought out, and you can feel the rich egg aroma in every bite."

　Unlike a regular fried egg, it incorporates the delicate texture of cornstarch, making the omelet both soft and slightly chewy.

　During the frying process, the egg pieces turn golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and smooth on the inside, creating a wonderful contrast between crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

　With her God Tongue activated, Erina Nakiri savored the rich flavors of the dish, especially the intense aroma of eggs, and couldn't help but murmur softly.

　"The final addition of syrup is the finishing touch to this dish."

　The perfectly cooked syrup not only coats the crispy yellow vegetables with a crystal-clear sugar coating, but also brings a sweet but not cloying taste.

　The sweetness of the syrup and the umami of the eggs intertwine and combine to create an indescribable harmonious beauty.

　At the same time, the sweetness is enhanced by a subtle caramel aroma, which not only elevates the overall flavor but also adds an enticing color.

　With her eyes closed, feeling the sweetness of caramel and the aroma of eggs linger on her tongue, Erina Nakiri's body trembled slightly.

　The reason is simple: sweets taste amazing!

　"Teacher Baiyuan is here, let me begin too."

　Upon seeing Bai Yuan enter, Huang Mei's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, but she maintained her composure on the surface, preparing to give a good performance.

　What dish are you planning to cook?

　At this moment, in front of her cooking counter, there was a basket of eggs, a yellow croaker, and four salted duck eggs with the yellow yolks removed, which made Hisako Shinto, who was watching from the side, show a curious look.

　"It will be kept secret for now."

　After cracking four eggs into two bowls, Huang Mei said mysteriously that Bai Yuan had taught her how to make this dish, which was why she remembered it so well.

　Just then, Bai Yuan walked over from not far away, and a subtle look appeared in his eyes as he looked at the ingredients that Huang Mei had prepared.

　Huang Mei asked him out of curiosity if he liked the dish, and he casually replied that it was alright. He never expected that she would remember it to this day.

　A feeling of being inexplicably moved welled up inside me.

　"You're making crab-like dishes, right? I'm really looking forward to it."

　After thinking for a moment, Bai Yuan gave Huang Mei a gentle smile and praised her highly.

　"I'll do my best!"

　Hearing Bai Yuan's encouragement, Huang Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she excitedly agreed as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

　"Such a rich aroma of salted duck egg yolk! You must have steamed salted egg yolks in your steamer, but..."

　"Our theme is eggs, so what are you going to do with salted duck egg yolks?"

　On the other side, Erina Nakiri walked over, sniffing the fragrance in the air, her expression slightly puzzled. Their topic was eggs, not eggs.

　"If she really makes a dish that goes off-topic, should we make an excuse to go easy on her later? She seems to be quite familiar with Teacher Baiyuan."

　The thought crossed her mind: if the other party is familiar with Teacher Bai Yuan, she wouldn't mind giving Teacher Bai Yuan face.

　Glancing at Bai Yuan beside her with his indifferent gaze, Erina Nakiri's eyes were filled with admiration, and deep within them shone a fervent passion.

　In his heart, Bai Yuan is no different from the God of Gourmet Food.

　"It was steamed for ten minutes. Although it uses salted egg yolks, it is a genuine egg dish. You'll see once you taste it."

　Huang Mei answered concisely that although this dish uses salted egg yolks, it is a genuine egg dish, personally taught by Master Bai Yuan.

　"I see."

　As she spoke, Erina Nakiri glanced at the pot, which was now set to a very low temperature.

　Scrambled eggs? Probably not. Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls. Add the chopped yellow croaker meat to the egg whites and mix. Then mix the egg yolks with the salted duck egg yolks...

　What kind of dish did this guy make?!

　Because she doesn't understand Chinese, Erina Nakiri didn't understand the conversation between Shirabuchi and Huangmei, so she didn't know the name of the dish she was making.

　However, one thing is certain: this guy in front of me seems to be more than he appears to be.

　Indeed, which of Bai Yuan's disciples is simple?

　Beside her, Huang Mei ignored Nakiri Erina's wild thoughts, focusing all her attention on the dish in front of her.

　Add the egg whites mixed with yellow croaker meat to a pan with cold oil, and gently push and pull it back and forth with a spatula. Because the egg whites have a high water content, it is normal for them to stick to the pan.

　Sensing the changes in temperature within the pot, Huang Mei continuously adjusted the temperature.

　Because of her super-sensitive touch, Huangmei has a very precise control over temperature.

　Besides temperature, she also has a good grasp of many tactile factors, such as the amount of food and seasonings.

　It can be said that as long as Huang Mei is given a recipe with the required amount of each ingredient clearly marked, she can perfectly replicate it.

　This is the incredible power of SuperTouch.

　However, due to a lack of proficiency, she still makes some mistakes, which requires a lot of practice to improve her super-touch.

　Take Bai Yuan for example. After extensive training, his sensitivity and control have improved to the point that the error is no more than 0.1 milligrams, and his knife skills are exceptionally exquisite.

　Of course, this ability also has limitations, namely, it requires a high degree of concentration, which is very physically demanding and not suitable for daily use.

　However, this ability can be very useful if you are participating in an assessment or a cooking competition.

　Add a spoonful of water to the pot and continue to stir-fry slowly. Then add cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 10 to 20 seconds before removing from the heat.

　The next step is the egg yolk. The method is similar: first, cook it over medium-low heat until it's done, then stir-fry it until it's broken up, and finally place it in the middle of the stir-fried egg white to make the layers distinct.

　"I recognize this. It's Shandong cuisine from China, right? It's called 'mock crab'? But it looks pretty ordinary, and it doesn't smell like crab at all. Is it named this because it looks like crab when it's served?"

　Looking at the final plating of Huangmei, Erina Nakiri thought for a long time before finally coming up with a name for the dish. Although the aroma it emitted was exceptionally strong, it really had nothing to do with crab.

　While she could imagine how delicious it would be, Erina Nakiri was more curious about the origin of its name.

　"Heh heh heh, this next dish is about to reveal its true colors! Just watch!"

　Huang Mei glanced at Bai Yuan not far away, suppressed the strange emotions in her eyes, and then turned her attention back to the pot.

　As she spoke, Huang Mei began to prepare the soul sauce on the spot, according to the portion size of the dish.

　Mix minced ginger, sugar, a little salt, and a large spoonful of rice vinegar. Then, lift the bowl full of seasonings high and pour it evenly over the 'crab roe' made from eggs and salted egg yolks.

　The next moment, the aroma of the crab roe wafted out, then exploded exponentially, like a rich aroma bomb that exploded instantly after being ignited, with a huge destructive range.

　Soma Yukihira, who was standing next to him, also cast a curious glance over. At that moment, he was preparing meat jelly made with chicken broth.

　"Gudu."

　However, compared to him, the one most affected by the fragrance was Erina Nakiri next to the crab. When she came to her senses, she found that she couldn't take her eyes off it. The rich fragrance rushed into her brain and took control of her body.

　"Please enjoy, Chief Examiner Bai Yuan!"

　Huang Mei glanced at Erina's increasingly flushed cheeks and uncontrollable body, but ignored her completely. Instead, she scooped up a large spoonful of 'crab meat and crab roe' and fed it to Bai Yuan's mouth.

　The girl's eyes were filled with longing and anticipation. Although she knew that her action was somewhat impolite, she still wanted to do it.

　As the dish was brought to his face, the rich aroma of crab roe filled his nostrils, causing Bai Yuan's mouth to water profusely. He then opened his mouth and took a bite.

　Beside her, Erina Nakiri watched this scene with a slight pout, saying nothing more, only observing...

　Hisako Shinoto took the spoon and scooped up a spoonful as well.

　"Ok!"

　With her lips slightly parted, Erina Nakiri swallowed a large mouthful of crab roe and meat, then jumped up excitedly, feeling utterly satisfied.

　The rich crab roe flavor and distinct layers of texture make it even tastier than real crab!

　To cook eggs to this level, who exactly is this guy? How can he have such superb culinary skills, reaching the top level?!

　A sense of bewilderment welled up within her. The taste of this dish had exceeded her expectations, and her body felt an unnatural heat rising within her, as if she were in a dream world.

　"Hmm, hot, but, ugh, ah..."

　The sticky crab roe and meat crawled onto her body, and the warm touch made her cry out. She grabbed the corner of the table, and her two white, jade-like legs rubbed together uncontrollably.

　It seemed as if this could eliminate the effects coming from deep within her body, but in reality, it was impossible to stop the strong fragrance from raging inside her. The crab-like aroma was truly amazing!

　The texture of yellow croaker meat combined with egg white is very similar to that of crab meat. In addition, it is a sea fish, and the combination of the two gives this dish an indescribable umami flavor.

　The combination of egg yolk and salted egg yolk creates an incredibly rich and layered flavor profile.

　The most crucial finishing touch was the addition of the specially made sauce, which brought out the flavor of the crab roe.

　This was unlike any dish she had ever eaten before; it was a taste experience she had never had before! Amazing! The crab-like dish was fantastic!

　It's about to transform into its shape~

　Erina Nakiri's face was flushed as she savored the exquisite flavors on her tongue, while simultaneously filled with curiosity about the girl in front of her.

　Judging from her age, she's about the same as me. Could she also be a top-tier expert?!

　"You've polished this dish very well. You've only been learning to cook for half a year, yet you can already make a dish that's close to the top grade. That's really impressive."

　Although Huang Mei is only a second-class chef, her love for Bai Yuan's cooking and her top-notch talent brought by her super sense of touch enabled her to create a dish that is almost at the special grade.

　"Hehe, because I knew it was for the leader to taste, I did my best."
