This time, the competition for making ramen noodles has been launched and has reached a certain height.So Liu Heming, a wild cook, also paid a little attention. He didn't go out to talk nonsense the next morning, and rested in the hotel to prepare for the battle.

It's just that this rest is only relative to going out to play.Messing around with Alex, and teasing and making trouble along the way, this is also in the category of rest.

"OK, boss, we can start now." Susanna said excitedly after checking the time.

"Okay, let's go over there and prepare." Liu Heming put Alex directly on his shoulders.

Don't look at the little guy who has grown up a lot now, Liu Heming will often carry her like this.No way, he really cared about this girl.

TC has a lot of things here, including various ingredients and flour, which are packed in a big bag.This is only on the hotel side, and I have to go to the plane to pick up some later.

Come to Ramen Street, my good guy, the scene is really not small.The small ramen street is already full of people, and there are even police officers here to maintain order.

I don't know if the business here is affected today, and the rest of the ramen shops will be unhappy.But Liu Heming won't care about it anymore, it's their own internal matter and has nothing to do with them.

When he came to the small shop yesterday, Asada Ichiro was already wearing a chef's shirt and sitting in the kitchen.The expression is very serious and serious, and he is not moved by foreign objects at all.

"Mr. Asada, can I use the ingredients I brought over?" Liu Heming asked with a smile.

Asada Ichiro nodded.

Liu Heming came to the place he had prepared for himself a long time ago, and then started to manage it.

There is no ramen agent in his ramen, just seasoned with salt.After reconciling, he put it aside.Even if he is confident, he still has to prepare soup.

The raw material is high soup skin jelly, and then I asked the owner here for a few more pork bones, and it started to boil directly on the side.

After thinking about it, he opened the remaining bag of noodles, and after reconciling, he also fastened it with a basin and put it aside.

This move of his finally caught the attention of Ichiro Asada.After making so many noodles, I must have enough confidence to feel that the ramen I made is more popular.

Otherwise, what are you doing with so many sides?Isn't it self-defeating?At that time, no one will eat it, and put it aside, it will be a big joke.

Alex was not idle either, and started washing radishes and peeling shallots, looking very serious as well.As Liu Heming's top chef, he also has to contribute to today's competition.

Liu Heming's state is very relaxed, even if the atmosphere here is a little tense, and there are cameras facing him, he doesn't care at all.When the noodles were almost awake, he began to knead them.

A large ball of dough was almost crushed in his hands, not only on the chopping board, but also carried into the air by him.Such a large ball of dough seemed to have no weight in his hands, which surprised the onlookers.

The brows of Ichiro Asada on the side and Daihi Ono, the shopkeeper here, could not help but tighten a little. They are experts, and the key to knowing whether this noodle is good or not is in kneading.

Only when you knead hard enough can you knead the "strength" of the noodles.And the noodles kneaded by hand are not comparable to the noodles kneaded by machines.

Liu Heming kneaded it for a long time, nearly an hour before he put the dough aside, "Mr. Asada, when will we start?"

"You can start now." Asada Ichiro stood up, and after finishing speaking, he picked up the straps on the side and wrapped them around his forehead.

After cleaning his hands on the side, and drying them carefully, Asada Ichiro showed his knives, and he also picked up the white cloth on the side and wiped these knives carefully.

Liu Heming admired it in his heart. Although the old man was a little stubborn, he had already reached the level of obsession when it came to making ramen.

He didn't rush to do it, but first took a look at Asada Ichiro's craftsmanship.

Ichiro Asada also has a special way of making noodles. After kneading the dough, he cuts it with a knife.This is an old-school ramen technique in Japan, and it is only used when it is delicately made, and in ramen shops, it is all pressed out by machines.

The old man's knife skills are also very sharp. In this regard, he has also won Liu Heming's approval, which is comparable to his own knife skills.

When cooking noodles and serving bowls, Asada Ichiro is very serious when cooking, even when placing dishes on the bowls, he is careful.After a large bowl of hot tonkotsu ramen was placed, it also attracted enthusiastic praise from the surrounding people.

"Alex, give Dad some dough." Liu Heming said to the little guy.

"Okay. Dad, I want to eat thin noodles." The little guy responded and made his own request.

A large ball of dough was pulled off by Alex, and carried to the chopping board in front of Liu Heming.After Liu Heming rubbed a few times, he began to stretch.

This can also be regarded as a difference between Chinese-style ramen and Japanese-style ramen. The noodles in Chinese-style ramen are basically stretched by hand, while they use knives or machines.

For the first bowl of noodles, Liu Heming didn't stretch too much.This is for others to taste, and the next bowl is for my daughter.After stretching the seven knuckles, with a light tug, the noodles were thrown into the pot next to it.

Take an empty bowl from the side, put the boiled ramen noodles in cold water, and pour the soup directly.He picked up the big white radish on the side, and chopped it a few times with a kitchen knife, and the almost transparent slices of radish were spread on the noodle soup.

Today is a competition, so he spent a little more time thinking, otherwise he would just throw these radishes at will.

After the radish slices were cut, he picked up the chopped green onion and sprinkled them in the middle of the circle surrounded by the radish slices, and then put a small spoonful of chili oil on top.

Although there are not so many side dishes compared with Ichiro Asada, the appearance is not bad at all.

After finishing, Liu Heming pushed the noodles he made to Ichiro Asada, letting him have a taste first.Then he got busy again, making thinner stretched noodles for his daughter.

Now he is also very skilled in craftsmanship, Sasha and the others are used to it in the ranch, but after seeing him stretch out thousands of strands of hair-thin noodles, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

They feel that this should not be something that humans can do, it is too magical.

This noodle was made for my daughter and my wife, and it was not boiled. I just put it into the boiling soup, took it out, and put it in a bowl.

The noodles he made looked plain, and compared with the bowl of noodles in front, these thin noodles only had a little more coriander.

The little guy was not polite at all, picked up the chopsticks on the side, stirred the noodles, picked up the thin radish slices inside and ate them with big mouthfuls.

Ichiro Asada next to him was also eating noodles, much more meticulously than Alex.

He knew that Liu Heming cut these radishes so thinly so that the soup could be boiled directly to get rid of the raw taste of radishes.He himself admired Liu Heming's knife skills, because Liu Heming didn't cut it on the chopping board, but held the whole radish in his hand and cut it with a kitchen knife in the air.

As an anti-bad boy in the ramen industry, he also knows that the core of ramen is soup. No matter how good the noodles are, if the taste of the soup is not enough, then this bowl of noodles cannot be rated as top-grade.

He took a small spoonful of clear soup with a spoon, and after tasting it, he sighed in his heart.There is no extra flavor of seasoning, only the fullness and smoothness of bone broth.

If it is said that Japanese-style ramen uses the combination of seasonings to the extreme, then Liu Heming's bowl of clear soup also uses the craftsmanship of salt water noodles to the extreme.

From this point, it can be seen that what Liu Heming said yesterday was correct, and he is really good at this aspect.

After he took another mouthful of noodles, he was stunned.Even when making tonkotsu ramen, the noodles can fully absorb the soup, but it doesn't seem to be as rich as this bowl of noodles.

The key point is that Liu Heming didn't put much soup in the bowl. If you stir the noodles, you can't seem to see the soup.But when you are eating, the strength of the noodles and the thickness of the soup can be perfectly blended together.

He slowly and meticulously tasted every bite, and Alex had already eaten up all the noodles in the small bowl.It also reached their standard for eating ramen, and there was nothing left.

This soup is not an ordinary soup. There are so many ingredients in the high soup jelly, which cannot be compared with ordinary pork bone soup.

Liu Heming waited slowly for Ichiro Asada at the side, and after he finished the whole bowl of noodles, the real competition between the two began.

The criterion for judging is to see who has the highest evaluation of the noodles made by customers. The bowl made by Liu Heming just now is just for Ichiro Asada to taste.

As for the bowl made by Ichiro Asada, he is not interested in tasting it.It's not that he looks down on him, but he doesn't eat big mouthfuls when he's cooking.

When I officially started making it, I made small bowls of noodles just to give the onlookers a taste.If you feel delicious, you can continue to eat.

At the beginning, Ichiro Asada's sales speed was dominant, and basically everyone here ate his noodles.But the noodles made by Liu Heming are also very attractive, which is a skill they have never seen before.

Once someone tries, it's unstoppable.

Of course, the seasoning in the soup is full of flavor, which can bring a richer layering.But Liu Heming's clear soups are not bad, and they taste very refreshing, not like the feeling of thirst after eating Japanese ramen.

After finishing all the noodles, Liu Heming also asked Ichiro Asada to get him a bowl, with a thick layer of char siu spread on it.

Stretching noodles is also tiring. This is an absolute physical work.

In fact, compared to now, who is strong and who is weak has little meaning. Regardless of the outsiders arguing happily, in the hearts of Liu Heming and Asada Ichiro, this is not important, what is important is an exchange of skills.

Now no one is going to count who sells more noodles, because even in their eyes, both of them are master ramen chefs.
