Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　It's not just about the taste of the food, but also about the process of Bai Yuan making the food. I feel like I can learn a lot of useful things from it!

　"Then you'll be in charge of the most important thing, the tonkotsu broth. I'll teach you how to make it. By the way, I'm very strict, so if you don't do it well, you won't get dinner tonight."

　"Of course! I will do my best!"

　Alice Nakiri's voice made Bai Yuan stop what he was doing. He carefully scanned her small figure and, thinking about his next task, he did not refuse her self-recommendation and directly handed over the most important task of making bone broth to her.

　This can be considered a small test from Bai Yuan. He wants to see if Nakiri Alice is qualified to be his apprentice and inherit his skills.

　Teacher and mentor are two completely different concepts!

　Chapter Seven: Tonkotsu Ramen, Lucky Pervert

　"To make pork bone broth, the weight ratio of meat to water should be 1:3. First, remove the blood by soaking. This process takes about two hours, and the water should be changed at least twice."

　After soaking for the required time, remove the meat pieces, discard the bloody water, add scallions, ginger, and water, put the meat pieces back into the pot, and then turn on the heat.

　As the temperature rose, Alice Nakiri stood on a stool almost as tall as herself and patiently skimmed off all the foam with a strainer to prevent any fishy smell from remaining in the ingredients.

　After removing the blood foam, the ingredients need to be taken out again and rinsed thoroughly with clean water to remove all the blood foam from the surface. This is the detail that Bai Yuan taught.

　.

　Without Bai Yuan's instruction, she would at most simply change the water in the pot and then directly add the ingredients. This would prevent the blood foam sticking to the meat from rising and being assimilated by the broth, thus producing a certain degree of fishy smell.

　Of course, the fishy smell is now very faint, and even the most discerning gourmets cannot detect it. Only those with a special talent like the "God's Tongue" can perceive it clearly, so most people would subconsciously overlook this detail.

　However, as the owner of the Super Taste, Bai Yuan could naturally taste the fishy smell as soon as it entered his mouth, so he would pay extra attention during the preparation process.

　By paying attention to these details, the quality of the dish will naturally improve.

　"I'll mark a line for you, because with your current eyesight, you can't add water very precisely."

　As Alice Nakiri re-weighed the cleaned ingredients and put them into the pot, she added water and prepared to start cooking the broth.

　Bai Yuan suddenly appeared beside her, holding a short knife in his hand. With a casual slash, he precisely drew a line on the water level line, ensuring that no water could be added above this line from now on.

　"Okay, I see."

　Alice Nakiri nodded. Although it was just a small detail, high-end cuisine is made up of all sorts of details.

　To create truly top-notch cuisine, one must first be able to endure loneliness, break down each detail, and prepare each dish systematically.

　"There are three key points to this broth. If you follow the steps, you're unlikely to make a mistake."

　First, keep the heat on medium-high throughout the entire process, stirring every half hour to prevent sticking. Second, keep the lid half-open during the cooking process to slow down the evaporation of the stock. Third, add water according to the marked line every two hours. Got it?

　Bai Yuan's voice carried a hint of sternness. After hearing his words, Nakiri Alice nodded seriously, indicating that she understood.

　Next came the practical exercise. As the heir to a family of gourmets, Alice Nakiri's culinary talent was truly remarkable. She completed the tasks assigned by Shirai Abe very well, while constantly asking for the reasons behind them.

　Curiosity is the driving force behind a chef's progress!

　Thanks to Alice Nakiri's persistent efforts, the broth in the braising pot gradually changed from being clear and transparent to milky white.

　Just as the bones were about to soften, the clever Alice Nakiri foresaw Bai Yuan's request: to take the bones out every half hour and pound them with kitchen utensils to speed up the emulsification process.

　However, because the little girl wasn't very strong, this part was done by Bai Yuan. Under his force, the bones quickly merged with the broth.

　Looking at the rich, white bone broth, Bai Yuan's face showed a satisfied expression. Then he took out ginger from the ingredient bag, smashed it, chopped half a white onion, four dried shiitake mushrooms, cut a carrot into chunks, halved a clove of garlic, and added a quarter of a cabbage.

　Pour all the prepared ingredients into the simmered white broth to enhance its sweetness. Immediately after this step, turn the stove to its highest heat to bring together the essence of all the ingredients and meat in one pot.

　"Cuckoo~"

　A rich aroma wafted through the kitchen, causing Alice Nakiri's mouth to water profusely. Because of their obsession with cooking, neither of them had eaten lunch yet, and the aroma immediately made their stomachs growl.

　"I've already prepared all the other side dishes. Once the soup is ready, I can put them together. Until then, please be patient."

　Seeing Alice Nakiri's extremely eager expression, Bai Yuan cruelly turned his head away and silently continued to stir the broth with a spoon.

　"What a wonderful aroma, what a rich and flavorful broth! Did Alice make this?"

　"Of course, this is all thanks to Alice!"

　Seeing Alice Nakiri standing to the side wearing an apron, Leonora Nakiri, who had just come down from her afternoon nap upstairs, was somewhat surprised.

　As she spoke, she walked up to the braising pot, smelled the rich aroma emanating from it, and couldn't help but sigh.

　"Sister Nora, please wait a moment. This soup will be ready in a little while."

　Alice, go and chop up the tonkotsu ramen toppings. Cook the ramen normally, then all that's left is to assemble it!

　"clear."

　Bai Yuan spoke without looking up, his eyes fixed on the soup pot in front of him, stirring it occasionally. Alice immediately went to prepare the side dishes after hearing his words.

　Soon, sensing the change in the soup in the pot, Bai Yuan turned off the heat, then took out three large bowls from the cupboard, scooped a spoonful of hot water and simply scalded them.

　Add 30 grams of seasoning sauce and 2 grams of sesame oil. Then, place the back fat in a strainer on a bowl, scald it with pork bone broth, and drip it into the noodle bowl through the strainer.

　Looking at the glistening oil, and then adding the boiling broth, Alice Nakiri has already cooked the ramen. With a cool flourish, she scoops it up with a strainer and shakes it vigorously, instantly removing the water and leaving behind incredibly refreshing noodles.

　"smell good!"

　Smelling the fragrance wafting in the air, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but sigh, her face filled with enjoyment.

　"It'll be ready to eat once I put the side dishes in."

　Bai Yuan poured the noodles into three bowls one by one, then smiled and unwrapped the plastic wrap from the honey-glazed char siu. He took it out of the refrigerator, sliced ​​it into pieces about 3 millimeters thick, and arranged them on top of the steaming hot ramen.

　It has an explosive visual impact.

　Below, braised bamboo shoots, shredded wood ear mushrooms, half a soft-boiled egg, and chopped green onions are arranged in order. Seaweed sheets are inserted around the edge of the bowl, and this is a bowl of extremely rich tonkotsu ramen!

　As the seaweed sheet was inserted, the entire dish seemed to come to a sudden halt.

　The next moment, beams of golden light shot out from the ramen bowl, illuminating the entire kitchen. Nakiri Leonora was caught off guard and was blinded by the light, losing her footing and almost falling to the ground.

　"ah!"

　"Be careful."

　Fortunately, Bai Yuan reacted quickly, using his other hand to support her waist and pull her into his arms, whereupon he felt her extreme softness.

　Leonora Nakiri has an excellent figure, especially after becoming a wife and giving birth to Alice. No wonder Alice Nakiri had such a magnificent figure as soon as she entered the high school. It's all due to genetics!

　"Um..."

　A pleasant shampoo scent wafted to Bai Yuan's nose, and the roots of his hair, which his fingers touched, were still slightly damp.

　If nothing unexpected happens, Leonora Nakiri should have just finished taking a shower!

　The phrase "like a lotus emerging from water" is the perfect way to describe it!

　Chapter Eight: Food-Infused Clothes Destroyed! Second Stage: "Teaching"

　"Are you alright, Nora?"

　Bai Yuan placed the plate on the table and asked with concern. Because of their incomplete relationship, his hands remained very gentlemanly, only supporting Leonora Nakiri's waist and doing nothing else.

　However, because Leonora fell downwards, she naturally placed her hand on his neck, so their faces were very close together.

　"It's nothing. I just didn't expect your cooking to have reached this level. Glowing cuisine is a field that only top-level five-star chefs are qualified to explore."

　As the tonkotsu ramen in front of her gradually returned to normal, Leonora Nakiri stood up, supporting herself on Bai Yuan's shoulder. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but as a mature woman, she naturally changed the subject.

　"Top-tier five-star?"

　Looking at Leonora Nakiri swallowing hard in front of him, Bai Yuan asked with some confusion, as he was indeed not very clear about the classification of chefs in this world.

　"Don't you know? According to the World Culinary Association, chefs are systematically divided into six levels, from bottom to top: chef apprentice, third-class chef, second-class chef, first-class master chef, top-level chef (1-9 stars), and dragon chef."

　Leaving aside the promotion methods for junior chefs, creating dishes that glow is a prerequisite for advancing to a five-star chef.

　As they were talking, Leonora Nakiri arrived at the dining table. Looking at the incredibly fragrant tonkotsu ramen, she couldn't help but swallow.

　"Try it and see if I meet your requirements."

　Bai Yuan handed the chopsticks to Nakiri Leonora, his eyes burning with an inexplicable fighting spirit. He hadn't forgotten that this was a test she had given him.

　Speaking of which, ever since he became Chef Lin and defeated many of his predecessors in the dark cuisine world, no one has dared to test him anymore.

　During his first year of learning to cook, he would give tests almost every two days, and those who failed the tests would be punished severely!

　I remember the first time he flipped the wok, he used too much force and knocked some sand out of the wok, for which he was whipped.

　To avoid being whipped, he had to practice even harder than others until he had honed all the basic skills to perfection. Then he began to cook, and immediately displayed an astonishing talent.

　After that, he mastered any dish he learned instantly, and his culinary skills improved every day. He quickly surpassed his contemporaries and became the youngest chef in the history of the Dark Cuisine world.

　It only took less than two years to achieve this!

　"Glug, no! I can't wait even a second longer..."

　Ignoring Bai Yuan's words, and staring intently at the tonkotsu ramen in front of her, Nakiri Leonora picked up the chopsticks next to her, grabbed a mouthful of noodles, and wolfed them down as if she hadn't eaten for days.

　The chewy, smooth noodles burst open in your mouth, the rich wheat aroma intertwining with just the right amount of chewiness.

　Immediately afterwards, the rich broth made from pork bones flowed into my mouth like a gentle stream, a flavor that was indescribably mellow and profound.

　The broth is infused with the essence of pork bones simmered for a long time; every drop is imbued with the taste of time and the craftsman's dedication. It's not just savory and salty, but also possesses an irresistible richness and sweetness, like the purest waves from the deep sea, or the warm sunshine of an autumn afternoon, gently enveloping every flavor.

　bud.

　"Ah, um, ahhh!!!"

　Finally, the intensely rich flavor made Nakiri Leonora let out a sound of extreme shame. In her mind's eye, her clothes had already burst open. Eating this mouthful of ramen felt like someone was whipping her with incredibly strong noodles, and each blow was just the right amount of force, giving her a strange feeling of excitement!

　"The flavorful oil uses canola oil and lard. When the oil is heated to 50% of its maximum temperature, chopped onions and crushed garlic are added and fried until all the flavors are absorbed. Then, dried anchovies, chili powder, and white pepper powder are added and slowly fried at a low temperature. The umami flavor of the ingredients gradually infuses into the flavorful oil at a low temperature, spreading on the tip of the tongue and further emphasizing the rich flavor of the tonkotsu broth. It's truly an amazing masterpiece!"

　After speaking such a long speech in one breath, Leonora Nakiri slumped in her chair, panting heavily. The scalding hot noodles brought a thin layer of sweat to her face, making her even more radiant and beautiful.

　"The char siu pork tastes amazing. The marinade is made from a Japanese dashi broth simmered with kelp, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried anchovies, scallions, garlic, ginger, and bonito flakes. It's then mixed with soy sauce, sake, and mirin, resulting in an exceptionally rich flavor."

　With an expression of extreme happiness on her face, Alice Nakiri's cheeks were flushed, and she kept chewing, looking just like a little hamster.

　"Most of what you said is correct, but bonito flakes are not cooked in the broth. Instead, other ingredients are cooked first, and then the washed bonito flakes are placed in a strainer and poured over the ingredients to bring out their flavor."

　In addition, the soy sauce portion uses three types: dark soy sauce, sashimi soy sauce, and light soy sauce. This layering creates a richer, more intense salty flavor. Besides sake and mirin, I also added a touch of sushi vinegar to enhance the sourness of the marinade.

　Bai Yuan began to speak eloquently, and Nakiri Alice nodded seriously after listening, then turned her gaze to the soup bowl in front of her.

　"Goooooooooo."

　Holding the soup bowl, and taking big gulps of the tonkotsu broth, Alice Nakiri suddenly squeezed her legs together, and an astonishing pulse erupted from her small body.

　"Ahhh!"

　The next moment, the girl's clothes suddenly burst open, and the same happened to Leonora Nakiri next to her. Clothes fragments fell all over the ground. Shirai's cooking actually made the Nakiri family's clothes burst open into the second stage, "transmission"!

　"Hey, really, stop staring at me like that!"

　Somewhat shyly covering her chest, Leonora Nakiri looked at Bai Yuan with a slightly flushed face. Although he was young, he was still a boy, and staring at her like that would make her feel shy.

　However, despite wanting to go upstairs to change clothes immediately, the food in front of her made her unable to move. Her body was frantically resisting leaving, and as she ate the ramen in big mouthfuls, her body gradually became hot.

　Alice Nakiri is in the same situation, but compared to Leonora Nakiri's shyness, she seems much more carefree, eating ramen without any pretense, her face full of happiness.

　"I'll go out for a bit. Call me back when you're done eating."

　Seeing what was happening in front of him, Bai Yuan smiled awkwardly, then got up and quickly walked to the living room. Two bodyguards were guarding the door.

　Although there was quite a commotion inside, they did not rush in. Unless the homeowner was in danger or received instructions, all they had to do was stand guard at the door.

　Chapter Nine: The Culinary Teacher, Shirabuchi's Plan

　"What a little pervert."

　Seeing Bai Yuan leave and close the door, Leonora Nakiri lowered her arm and breathed a sigh of relief, but the look in his eyes before he left still lingered in her mind.

　I guess it was out of curiosity that I couldn't help but take a second look.

　"However, the taste of this dish is definitely at the level of a master chef! Moreover, it is an extremely difficult dish to cook, a luminous dish. Who is this guy? I have never heard of such a young master chef before!"

　Leonora Nakiri downed the broth of the ramen in front of her in one gulp, not even leaving a drop at the bottom of the bowl. Her face flushed, she gasped for breath, and it took her a while to recover before she fell into deep thought.

　Bai Yuan's skill level is simply too high, so high that it's somewhat frightening, completely beyond what one should expect at his age.

　It felt like everyone around him was learning that 1 plus 1 equals 2, while he had already started studying calculus, which was truly unbelievable.

　"Mom, can I ask Bai Yuan to be my teacher?"

　Eat the tonkotsu ramen in the bowl as well.

　"It's clean," Alice Nakiri said, lifting her young face to look at Leonora Nakiri, her eyes filled with anticipation.

　In just one day, she felt she had learned more than she had in the past few years. If she could study under Bai Yuan, her cooking skills would definitely improve by leaps and bounds! Then she could surpass Erina and put on a superior attitude to mock her weakness!
