I'm in Food Wars: Opening A Restaurant

"incredible!"

"Take the most essential parts and coat them with flour to make the whole fried chicken nuggets crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! The aroma hits the nose like a gust of wind and waves, and the taste buds and appetite always make people unable to withstand such temptations!"

"sharp!"

"so amazing!"

"If you don't have a great understanding of white feather chicken, and you don't have amazing control of the heat, you will never get such a crispy taste and texture!"

"Fried chicken nuggets."

"It can explode to such a degree."

"The owner of this Yunhai Restaurant is indeed very capable!"

Go down in one bite.

Yoshino Yuuki, exclaimed on the spot.

...

"As soon as you bite through the crispy skin of the fried chicken, steam bursts out! The gravy hidden in it flows instantly and burns every part of your tongue!"

"It may be because the juiciness of the chicken itself is mostly derived from fat."

"so."

"For juicy fried chicken, chicken thighs are best!"

"And make a knife around the root of the chicken leg to cut off the skin and tendons; make a knife to expose the bones; close to the bones and remove the meat!"

"This three-knife method of cutting, scratching, and tickling directly takes out the best meat of the white feather chicken, so that the quality of the whole fried chicken nugget is guaranteed!"

At this moment.

Yoshino Yuuki, close your eyes and feel the deliciousness of fried chicken!

...

The texture, color and flavor of fried food are partly derived from the coagulation of protein and caramelization of starch.

Starchy ingredients like french fries can be fried to perfection! But when making fried chicken nuggets, you have to rely on flour or batter to create a crispy texture!

However.

In fact, there are many kinds of materials that can be used to coat flour or batter.

Low-gluten flour.

High-gluten flour.

corn starch.

potato starch.

Sweet potato starch.

...

but under the same conditions.

Use low-gluten flour, high-gluten flour, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. starch to coat the chicken nuggets.

Then fry at the same oil temperature for the same time, and the cornstarch-based dough is actually suitable for most people. Therefore, when Chu Feng fried chicken nuggets, he used cornstarch!

"I see!"

"The reason why we use cornstarch is because cornstarch has the highest amylose content and is the loosest and most porous when fried!"

"And, under high-temperature frying, it can also have a light taste! Because the powder is fine and the dough is light, the overall is very crisp and refreshing!"

"Even if it is cold, it will not become soft, and it has been tenaciously maintaining its brittleness!"

Fried chicken nuggets, no matter how delicious it is, it is still essentially fried chicken nuggets! In the eyes of some people, this kind of thing may not be on the table!

but.

For Yoshino Yuuki.

Of course she wouldn't dislike Chu Feng's use of the most important part of the white feather chicken to make fried chicken nuggets! On the contrary, after chewing a few bites, she praised Chu Feng's fried chicken nuggets!

Especially the use of cornstarch made her understand some truths.

What a great chicken!

If there are no other things to set off, it is just a chicken!

...

"yes?"

"I understand!"

"These days, I've been researching to breed Polar Star chickens that look like Brace chickens! While there's been a lot of success in this area, I've been neglecting a lot!"

"after all."

"Good ingredients are of course valuable!"

"But for a chef, the most important thing you can't ignore is your own cooking skills! Just like the fried chicken nuggets in front of you, if you have super cooking skills, you can also cook them deliciously!"

Yoshino Yuuki, looking at the chicken nuggets that had been bitten by more than half, couldn't help sighing deeply.

"Yoshino."

"You are very reasonable."

On the side, Sakaki Ryoko felt the same way, nodded and said: "There seems to be a slight sour taste in this fried chicken! And this sour taste, at first I thought it was citric acid, but in the end I found out that it was actually made of black koji. Brewed sake!"

"The unique citric acid adds some sourness to it while bringing a refreshing taste!"

"at the same time."

"It will also have a unique freshness."

...

"Um!"

"In the eyes of Yoshino Yuuki."

"She would think that affecting the taste and taste of the chicken, the quality of the white feather chicken is not so important, the most important thing is the control of the heat and the use of cornstarch!"

"However."

"In your opinion, Ryoko Sakaki."

"But the most important part of the whole dish is the sake brewed with black koji! Although it is insignificant, it is enough to make this fried chicken nugget out of the realm of ordinary things!"

"As the name suggests."

"The black koji fungus is called black koji!"

"It is often used in Awamori, Okinawa, Neon, and it produces a lot of citric acid that prevents deterioration, and it has a lot of protease that can break down proteins into amino acids!"

"Therefore."

"A little bit in the inside of the chicken nuggets."

"Then after the saccharification of starch, it can have a soft and delicate feeling while having a crisp taste!"

Chu Feng, looking at the surprised expressions of the two, smiled lightly.

...

a dish.

in the eyes of different people.

The focus of attention is definitely different!

Yoshino Yuuki, who is good at wild ingredients, when she tastes fried chicken nuggets, she must first think about the quality of the chicken and whether it can affect the taste of the whole dish.

on the contrary.

For Ryoko Sakaki, who is good at koji and fermented dishes.

Her focus will definitely be on various seasonings. When she discovered that the fried chicken nuggets in front of her were actually Japanese sake fermented with black koji, the shock in her heart was self-evident!

certainly.

No matter how different their focus is.

Their views on Chu Feng now are quite the same!

This is just a simple fried chicken nugget, but Chu Feng was able to use such a dish to completely conquer the two Tōtsuki students!

If he was asked to bring out the dishes he was best at, wouldn't he be able to completely capture them within minutes?

The owner of this restaurant.

It's really unfathomable as Tadokoro Megumi said! *
