Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

The taste is fresh and tender, and the color is yellow and white.

Pick up a piece, the skin is crispy and elastic.

As soon as my lips and teeth broke through the outer puff pastry, the white and tender tofu inside slid into my stomach along with the sauce.

The mouth is full of salty, slightly spicy, and slightly sweet rich sauce flavor.

Only by tasting it in person can you know that this plate of first-grade tofu really combines the essence of heaven and earth, transforming the tofu into a carrier of taste.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich dish.

……

indeed.

Zhang Fan's exquisiteness can be seen in this dish.

He takes great care when preparing the soup to ensure a perfect balance of aroma, freshness, saltiness and sweetness.

The tofu is deep-fried until medium-cooked, then taken out, and then simmered in the original stock together with other ingredients until tender and smooth. Every step is made with utmost care.

The highlight of this dish is the harmonious beauty of its blend of diverse ingredients.

The scallops are fresh.

The aroma of mushrooms.

The sweetness of the bamboo shoots.

The tofu is soft.

These are all perfectly blended in the same mouth, making it irresistible for Tadokoro.

The elegance of tofu itself harmoniously brings together the flavors of these different ingredients to create a balanced and unified taste feast!

In addition to its multi-layered taste enjoyment, Yipin Tofu is also very particular about its presentation.

Fried tofu pieces until golden brown and placed on a delicate porcelain plate.

Surrounded by brightly colored vegetable side dishes, such as green broccoli and red shredded carrots, the dishes not only make the dishes visually pleasing, but also form a rich layering in the combination, fully demonstrating the exquisite aesthetics of Chinese cooking.

Therefore, it can be said that Yipin Tofu is not only because of its outstanding taste, but also because it transforms simple ingredients into an unforgettable gourmet experience through superb technology.

It still proves that in Zhang Fan's hands, any ordinary ingredients can tell an extraordinary story!

……

"Tasoko."

"No one will be spared from the recent Totsuki coup."

"Including you members of the Jixingliao dormitory, as well as those in the Cuisine Research Association, among all the Totsuki students I know, you seem to be the most cowardly one, but in fact you are the strongest!"

"Under this kind of tide, with your meager strength, you certainly can't change anything."

"but."

"What you have to do is work hard."

"Just like the previous dropout crisis, residential training activities, autumn selection competition, etc., just face it calmly with the most sincere heart."

Zhang Fan just patted Tian Suohui on the shoulder to show encouragement.

And Tian Suohui, who was eating first-grade tofu, was encouraged at this moment. Of course, she was very happy and kept nodding her head.

……

Every dish.

No matter how attractive its color, fragrance, or exquisite craftsmanship, it inevitably has unique flaws.

These flaws may stem from the selection of ingredients, cooking techniques, or may just be a reflection of the chef's personal style, but it is precisely because no dish is perfect that it contributes to the diversity and charm of the dish!

First of all, the selection of ingredients is definitely an important factor affecting the defects of the cuisine.

Even the high-end ingredients that Erina recognizes most have their inevitable limitations.

Fresh vegetables.

May have traces of earthiness.

Fatty fish may have a slight fishy smell.

Although these natural flavors can be masked or transformed through cooking techniques, they cannot be completely eliminated.

They are like an invisible boundary, a constant reminder of the original properties of the ingredients.

Different chefs naturally have different cooking techniques and styles, and these differences will leave unique traces in the cuisine.

One chef may be good at controlling the heat to make the dishes taste just right; while another chef may pay more attention to the combination of seasonings to make the dishes rich in flavor.

However, no matter how skilled you are, it is difficult to avoid the subtle changes that occur during the cooking process.

Small differences in heat.

Minor additions or subtractions of seasonings.

These factors may affect the final taste and texture.

And people also have flaws, for example, Nakiri Erina, although she is of noble birth, she has extremely high talents. However, there was no trace of a queen's temperament in her body. She gave Zhang Fan the impression that she was just a young lady who knew how to cook!

She has strength, she can be proud of everything.

But in terms of character, he often hides his feelings. He seems to be very strong, but he is the most fragile.

and also.

Nakiri Alice.

Whenever something happened, she would always run to the izakaya and seek comfort from Zhang Fan.

As for... the Tadokoro in front of me, although she is also deeply dependent on Zhang Fan, she is indeed much stronger than Erina and Alice!

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about how she was able to accept the failure and her own shortcomings openly when faced with the defeat in the autumn selection.

So, in Zhang Fan's opinion.

Although this Tadokoro Hui is a bit poor in talent, she has made the fastest progress.

……

Use your index and middle fingers to hold the corner of the red wine glass on the table and hold it close to the body.

In this way, you will look more elegant and noble!

Simultaneously.

Hand temperature.

It also helps red wine release its aroma.

At this time, while tasting a sip of red wine, Nakiri Thistle slowly closed his eyes, and then began to recall the rich aroma of the wine.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes, and the scene he experienced in the izakaya could not help but come to his mind.

Obviously until now, he still can't see through Zhang Fan.

In his eyes, Zhang Fan is definitely a chef whose life is cooking. His cooking skills are extremely superb, which is not only reflected in his precise control of ingredients and proficiency in cooking techniques, but also in his love for food. and pursuit, as well as respect and treasure for the ingredients!

Zhang Fan, his name may not be well known to the public in the entire culinary world.

however.

His cooking skills.

But it made Nagi Kirithistle fall in love with him.

Every time he cooks, it is a dance with the ingredients, and every stir-fry is a pursuit of flavor.

Any ingredient can exert its greatest value in his hands and exude the most alluring aroma, and that aroma seems to penetrate the soul and make people intoxicated.

"Interesting, I didn't expect that there is a more charming chef in this world than Joichiro-senpai!"

Nakiri Thistle murmured, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

How will the situation change in the future? What will the future look like?

Maybe he doesn't know it himself, but the only thing that remains unchanged is his determination to completely change Totsuki Academy, and even the entire culinary world!
