Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Prepare the long noodles.

Then comes the basic sauce for pasta, tomato sauce. The amount to be used is about 150 grams.

Anchovy!

It is the key ingredient of this dish.

Next, add 4 black olives, 20 green olives and ml of white wine.

Its function is to add taste and aroma to pasta, as well as to remove fishy smell and enhance flavor.

Half a red pepper.

Capers, stock, cheese…

After preparing these ingredients and condiments, put a large amount of water in the pot, add appropriate amount of salt after the water boils, and put in the pasta to cook.

Heat the garlicky olive oil in a frying pan and add the deseeded red pepper, capers, and anchovies.

Crush the anchovies while frying.

Add white wine to remove the fishy smell, then add black and green olives and mix.

Then add tomato paste and chicken stock, mix well and season with salt and pepper.

Finally, take out the cooked pasta, drain the water and add it to the sauce pot, add a spoonful of cooking soup, and sprinkle some pepper and salt to season.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra virgin olive oil.

Sprinkle with cheese, shake the pan gently to mix the sauce and noodles thoroughly, and serve!

In this way, a plate of anchovy tomato sauce pasta is ready.

……

the other side.

Markanta's face was covered with colorful paints.

A thick circle of white makeup makes those eyes look even deeper. There seems to be endless joy, anger, sorrow and happiness hidden in those eyes, which are hard to grasp.

Afterwards, he prepared to make meat dishes.

He chose a piece of good beef and threw it on the chopping board.

Then he took out a kitchen knife and, under the gaze of Mizuhara Fuyumi, he kept cutting the beef at a very fast speed.

Although he was fat, his movements were quite agile. As he swung his arms, afterimages of knife lights fell from mid-air onto the chopping board.

"drink!"

Muran, Markanta stopped and let out a long sigh.

There was a crash.

The beef that was full of fascia just now has become extremely smooth.

Obviously, the fascia and excess meat on the beef were cut off skillfully by him.

Under the light, you can even see the delicate texture of the meat and that beautiful red color, which stimulates both beauty and appetite!

"Not bad, the quality of this meat..."

Looking at the meat on the chopping board, Markanta suddenly let out a strange laugh.

Then, he put the beef directly into the special iron pot that looked very strange.

"Hmm? What on earth is this iron pot of his?"

Looking at Markanta's actions, Mizuhara Fuyumi couldn't help but frown.

Kitchen utensils designed for specific cooking needs usually have specific functions or shapes to meet specific cooking or processing needs, such as:

Frying pan!

It generally adopts a flat bottom design.

It can be used for cooking methods such as frying and stir-frying, and has good heat preservation performance and uniform heating characteristics.

However, when Markanta took out the iron pot, Mizuhara couldn't figure out the purpose of this kitchen utensil.

……

Followed by.

Markanta took out another special kitchen utensil and covered the pot with it.

In this way, Mizuhara Fuyumi finally understood why his kitchen utensils were so strange and incomprehensible at first.

It turns out that these two pots put together form a completely hollow iron ball!

"strangeness."

"Can this iron ball really be used as a cooking utensil?"

Mizuhara Fuyumi, murmured.

Her voice had already begun to tremble unconsciously, and her shoulders were slightly hunched.

Perhaps she was trying to use this method to resist the inner pressure and fear, even though she pretended to straighten her back later, revealing an indomitable and stubborn strength.

But beneath this power, Markanta could still sense the fatigue and anxiety hidden deep inside.

"Hehehe..."

"Let's show you, the people in the cooking world, the true power of us late-night cooks!"

At this moment, Markanta actually showed a happy smile.

Do not!

should say.

In his clown costume, he was smiling almost all the time.

It was as if apart from the smile, there was no other expression from beginning to end.

Of course, his smile didn’t just express happiness, it also expressed another inexplicable feeling of fear!

……

Afterwards, regardless of Mizuhara's reaction.

Markanta held the iron ball tightly in both hands and then threw it into the air.

He kept throwing the iron ball upwards while spinning it at a speed so fast that even people couldn't see it clearly.

Because the speed is very fast, from a distance it looks like Markanta is throwing several pots at the same time, and his movements are really like a clown performing acrobatics.

"Is this... a circus?"

Looking at his iron ball throwing action, Mizuhara Fuyumi was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but exclaimed.

have to say.

This was the first time she had seen this kind of cooking method.

"The centrifugal force generated by the rotation and the radiation roasting heating set inside, I see. The result of the multiplication of these two is that the meat is even softer than that cooked in ordinary pots, no, than beef stewed in ordinary pressure cookers!"

Finally, a light seemed to flash in Mizuhara Fuyumi's eyes, and she couldn't help but speak out.

God!

Is there such an outrageous practice in this world?

Her eyes continued to be fixed on Markanta's every move.

Finally, as he threw the iron ball faster and faster, the iron ball finally changed from yellow and white at the beginning to copper red!

She even saw flames burning next to the iron ball. It was obvious that the speed at which Markanta threw the ball caused intense friction between the iron ball and the air, which ignited the flames.

“It’s actually burning?”

Putting aside the method, what will the taste and texture of the dishes produced be like?

Just this kind of iron ball throwing, not to mention in the superficial cooking world, even in the dark cooking world, among this group of late-night cooks, he is considered a very explosive existence.

……

Finally, Markanta slowly put down the iron ball in his hand.

He actually placed the iron ball, which was red hot due to friction and constantly emitting hot air, directly on the cooking table.

Although he was wearing heat-insulating gloves at the time, the high temperature generated by the burning iron ball could not be blocked by heat-insulating means.

but!

It is under such high temperature.

There was no trace of pain on Markanta's face, he even still had a smiling look on his face!

"OKOK, it's finally done!"

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Markanta placed his hands directly on the iron ball and gently lifted it up.

He picked up the upper part of the iron ball.

Click!

Then, the beef inside the iron ball, which was bright red just now, appeared.

As a result, the moment it appeared in everyone's sight, it had turned brown. Obviously, after being subjected to centrifugal force and high-temperature roasting, the raw beef had become cooked beef.

"Very good, they are all cooked!"

Seeing this, Malkanta said with a smile.

Then he picked up the tongs and gently picked up the beef from the iron pot.

Because the beef was extremely tender, he only used a little force and the juice with the fresh aroma of beef flowed out of the beef.

The roasted beef appears before your eyes like a work of art, with every inch of it having an enticing aroma.

Skin, slightly browned.

The meat inside remains extremely soft and tender.

Looking at the fragrant beef in his hand, Markanta gently threw it onto the plate that had been prepared on the side.

Suddenly, this extremely tender piece of beef did not fall on the plate like other beef and could not get up. Instead, after falling on the plate, this piece of beef miraculously bounced up again.

And it didn't just bounce once, it bounced three times before it finally stopped on the plate.

……

"So soft?"

"Is it really possible to make beef that is as smooth as jelly by throwing iron balls?"

Looking at the beef on the plate, Mizuhara Fuyumi felt unbelievable.

You don't know until you compare. After this comparison, she immediately saw the gap between herself and Markanta.

Wash the button mushrooms and cut them into slices.

Chop onion into strips and peel and slice garlic.

Boil water in a pot, add pasta and cook until 80% cooked. When done, remove from the pot and add olive oil and mix well.

Heat oil in a pan, add garlic slices and onion and sauté until fragrant.

After the onion is stir-fried until transparent, add the shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry until cooked. Finally, add the black pepper sauce and pasta.

Afterwards, Markanta put the beef on the warm plate, then picked up a piece of cheese, cut it into powder and sprinkled it evenly on the plate.

But it's not over yet.

After sprinkling the cheese, he heated a pan of oil and gently poured it over the beef.

When the hot oil touches the cheese, it immediately makes a "sizzling" sound. Due to the extremely high temperature of the hot oil, the cheese is easily and thoroughly blended in.

At this time, the cheese is like a shell, covering the beef.

At this moment, the aroma of cheese, the peppery aroma of black pepper, the salty aroma of sea salt and the meaty aroma of beef all emanated at the same time.

The fragrance began to spread all around.

It can be said.

This beef and black pepper pasta dish made by Markanta brought a great shock to Fuyumi Mizuhara!

"My cooking is done!"

……

The moment the lid was opened.

A cheese flavor wafted out from the lid.

"Cheese, black pepper, sea salt..." Smelling the scent in the air, Mizuhara Fuyumi couldn't help but speak out.

Looking around, you can see crystal clear soup hanging on the reddish-brown beef, and streams of heat constantly evaporating from the steak.

color!

Fragrant!

taste!

Among the three, color and fragrance have reached the extreme.

The pasta is a uniform yellow color, while the beef is an attractive reddish brown, forming a strong color contrast with the dark brown of the black pepper sauce.

The black pepper sauce evenly covers the pasta and beef, making people want to taste it at first sight.

then.

Mizuhara Fuyumi, after moving her nose.

He quickly picked up the knife and fork, gently cut a piece of beef, put it into his mouth and tasted it carefully.

The piece of beef she cut was not big, only the size of a thumb. However, such a small piece of meat made the cutting process very smooth. She did not feel any resistance at all. It felt like she was cutting a piece of soft tofu!

“This kind of beef…”

Looking at the piece of meat that she had cut so easily, Mizuhara Fuyumi widened her eyes.

The beef can be made so tender...

Don't think much.

She held the knife and tapped the beef gently.

Every time she slapped the knife, she could feel a force pushing it back, and this force was the elasticity of the beef!

"This……"

"It's already medium rare, but it still has this kind of elasticity..."

Mizuhara Fuyumi inserted a fork directly into the beef, held it in front of her eyes, observed it for a while, and began to praise it.

"Hehe... If you don't have strong enough strength, I wouldn't dare to ask you for a food battle."

Hearing Mizuhara Fuyumi's praise, Markanta felt even happier in his heart and couldn't help but speak with a smile.

……

Just as soon as you enter.

She bit the beef lightly with her teeth, and she felt the elasticity of the beef pushing her teeth up again.

Feeling the resistance from the beef, Mizuhara Fuyumi exerted a little force and bit down directly.

puff!

Thick beef gravy.

In an instant, it seeped out from the meat and filled the entire mouth.

At the same time, the taste of cheese, black pepper and sea salt burst out in the mouth.

Then, Mizuhara Fuyumi continued to chew the beef. She felt more and more that the beef, which was struggling with herself just now, would slowly become smooth and not dry at all.

Smooth, tender, soft and elastic!

This is how Fuyumi Mizuhara felt when she tasted the beef.

A serving of beef and black pepper sauce pasta exudes a rich black pepper aroma as soon as you put it in your mouth. It is deep and unique, as if it can awaken the memories deep in your taste buds.

The richness of the beef and the spiciness of the black pepper intertwine on the tip of the tongue, forming an indescribable wonderful taste.

The sauce is moderately salty and fragrant.

It's neither too strong nor too bland.

It’s just right, bringing out the deliciousness of the beef and the chewiness of the pasta!

If you taste it carefully, you can also feel a hint of sweetness, which comes from the sweetness of the pasta itself, forming a perfect balance with the taste of the sauce and beef.

……

"I actually lost?"

Mizuhara Fuyumi finally said to herself with an incredible look on her face.

At this moment, the feeling of failure was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.

She began to feel an indescribable sense of loss and frustration. All her expectations and efforts seemed to have vanished in an instant and disappeared into the air.

and.

Her chest.

It was like something was blocking my breath.

In this beef and black pepper sauce pasta dish, she tried to find the reason for her failure, but her mind was in chaos and her thoughts were tangled like tangled threads.

She felt like she was trapped in a dark maze, bumping into walls everywhere and unable to find a way out.

Every attempt.

All of it seemed to only deepen her frustration, making her even more powerless to struggle.

"Is this the strength of a late-night cook?"

Helpless and filled with fear, she looked up at Markanta and said in despair.
