Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 176: Encountering a strong enemy again, Ryoko’s “counter-kill”

Ye Shanliang’s mastery of spices has reached a powerful state. The moment he got the ingredients, his brain painted the perfect golden ratio for using mutton as an ingredient.

This is also the result of his pursuit of the relationship between aroma and taste through scientific theoretical analysis. If you want to compare it, it’s like this dish is like a fortress with iron and copper walls.

Annie praised her in her heart, and at the same time the redness on her face because of the delicious food had not faded away.

“It’s hard to believe that a student can use spices to such an extent that he does a really good job. Ryo Yeshan, your dishes are very well done.” Sharum praised Ryo Yeshan again after tasting it.

To be directly praised by the WGO executive, even the members of the two groups have never had it before, which is enough to show the strength of Hayama Ryo, or that his dish brought a strong and delicious impact to the judges.

In this regard, a group of people in the central food organization also became proud. Xindao lost two groups just now, and this last group should have won anyway, right?

Just as Yeshan Ryo was about to immerse himself in victory, a strong scent made him suddenly look up.

There is nothing wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong, this is the wonderful fragrance that can be released by mixing spices and various ingredients together.

However, this fragrance is not his dish, and he turned his head immediately, only to see that Shen Ryoko had finished her cooking, and was walking towards the judging table step by step with the cooking in both hands.

“A whole stone pot? In addition to sliced ​​mutton, there are all kinds of vegetables…  

Wait, “Wait, isn’t her dish an Ishikari pot?”

Ishikari hot pot, this is Hokkaido Yu-Do’s representative local cuisine. The original ingredients are the salmon that go upstream due to spawning and use it from head to tail. This dish is rich in salmon. Ishikari River named.

In the Obihiro area, the same dish is also called “Tokachi hot pot”. It is made by cutting salmon into pieces, seasoning them with vegetables, tofu, konjac, etc., seasoning them with kelp broth and miso, and then stewing them.

The vegetables used are potatoes and cabbage from Hokkaido, and the seafood is fresh from the ground, so you can fully enjoy the flavor of Hokkaido.

But the protagonist here is no longer frog fish, but mutton.

Actually “presenting mutton in the form of Hokkaido Ishikari pot? If the stench of mutton is not handled properly, it will spread to all the ingredients in the whole stone pot!”

“Yes, the slightest mistake will lead to extra odors and goat smells. This improvement is extremely challenging!”

The three executive officers were also very aware of this, and they fell into a little contemplation when they looked at the steaming Ishikari pot in front of them.

The processing of mutton is much more difficult than that of pork, beef, duck, and chicken, because it has a particularly unpleasant and difficult to swallow odor, which is called mutton odor by everyone.

The smell of mutton is actually caused by the special digestive system of sheep. Because sheep are ruminants, the stomach contains a large number of microorganisms. During the process of digesting lipids, some volatile fatty acids will be produced, which will be incorporated into the fat of the sheep to form the smell of sheep mutton. But some people say that the bigger the belly taste, the better the quality of mutton.

Just take a sip of the soup to know whether it removes the taint or not, and whether the dish is a success.

Thinking of this, Annie picked up the spoon and put a sentence of soup in her mouth first, and then blew it gently before putting it in her mouth.

This action also hooked up the nervousness of everyone in Polar Star Dorm, and the success or failure of Kami Ryoko’s cooking was also at this moment.

?

The moment Annie put the soup in her mouth, the scene in front of her changed.

Looking down, I saw that she had put on a wool coat, and her whole person had become like a little lamb, and then snuggled into the arms of a big, flawless white sheep.

This, this is the pure feeling of softness!

“The mutton smell of mutton is completely removed, and this infinitely extended mellow feeling is like the peace of mind when being embraced by a mother”

Annie said these words, and Sharum and Eastward Road also let out delicious exclamations.

“The soup base is a combination of mutton bone soup and kelp soup. The mellow taste of the mutton itself is perfectly combined. As a kaiseki cuisine that removes the rough feeling, the combination of the two soup bases has been greatly improved. tasty!”

“Yes, how would you describe it? Just taking a sip of the soup and not tasting the ingredients of the Ishikari pot already gave me a huge shock to my whole body.

The three executives reacted in this way just by drinking a mouthful of the soup from the Ishikari pot. Everyone dared to imagine that they had tasted the main ingredient, mutton, and side dishes. What would it be like?

“Well, then now let’s try this mutton and side dishes.

Annie said and put a piece of sliced ​​mutton into her mouth, and the next second she kept exclaiming in her own consciousness.

This delicacy is simply unparalleled, the combination of the richness of the lamb and the pure gravy perfectly blends together.

“It’s great, the mushrooms, kelp, tofu, cabbage and other ingredients in the side dishes are also properly cooked. You can fully absorb the deliciousness of mutton in this pot. In this cold Hokkaido winter, there is nothing better than eating a pot of this warm and delicious food. Ishikari Pot is even better!”

“Haha, yes. This warm body and heart-warming food reminds me of the days when I was studying hard in the past..

While eating the mutton and side dishes in the pot, and occasionally a sip of the soup base, the three executive officers had to warm themselves from the outside to the inside.

…for flowers…  

Ye Shanliang looked at the three judges eating harmoniously and happily, and looked at Ryoko with a drop of sweat on his forehead, and said, “You, how did you do it, replace the main ingredient of Ishikari pot with mutton, and also It can make the soup so pure and white without any peculiar smell. As far as I know, even ordinary Ishikari pot can produce impurities with a lot of vegetables

Shen Ryoko said with a smile: “The way to remove impurities is very simple. This is a method that Mr. Tong Yu told me. Just put the ingredients “hops” into the soup pot.”

Erina, who was not far away, was slightly startled when she heard this. She remembered forming a team with Tong Yu on the first day of the dormitory training. Tong Yu was cooking “Baoshan Feilong Pot” to remove impurities from mushroom ingredients. It’s the hops.

“Tong Yu.” Ye Shanliang couldn’t help looking at the place where the players rested not far from the cooking venue.

….0

At this time, the corner of Dong Yu’s mouth evoked a clear smile, which he said at the “Autumn Trials”. Even if Kami Ryoko at that time was not Hayama Ryo’s opponent, he would definitely be able to defeat him in a few months.

“Super Sense of Smell” and several months of training in the comic world are not in vain. In addition, someone guides the practice, and fully utilizes the talent.

“In addition, I can also tell you the recipe for removing the smell of mutton, pepper, star anise, grass fruit, angelica, cumin, bay leaf, nutmeg, cinnamon, fennel seeds, 5 grams each, green onion, ginger, 10 grams, Finally, there is one key spice ingredient – sage.”

“sage!”

Ye Shanliang was startled again, he naturally knew this powerful spice to remove odor, but this ingredient had both advantages and disadvantages.

Because once this spice is added, there will be a strong bitter taste that cannot be concealed no matter how it is blended, so Hayama Ryo did not add this ingredient in consideration of this.

“For, why.

“Is the bitterness of sage? It is also because of the effect of hops, which not only removes impurities, but also has the effect of eliminating bitterness. In order to completely eliminate the bitterness of sage, I changed it three times when I was cooking the soup. The seasoning package can achieve the current effect.”

After hearing Shen Ryoko’s explanation, Hayama Ryo’s brain was temporarily blank.

Just over 2 months ago, Shen Ryoko, who was his defeat under his command, has grown to such an extent that the use of spices is completely superior to him.

Even if Tong Yu told Shen Ryoko some tips for removing impurities in advance, the spice mix is ​​still up to you, and outsiders can’t help at all.

Impossible, among the Tōtsuki there is someone who is more skilled in spice than him?

Ye Shanliang couldn’t believe it in his heart.
