Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

get out of class has ended.

Caiba Chaoyang was the first to leave the cooking class!

But soon, a cute female student walked in front of Chaoyang with quick steps and took a deep breath.

It was obvious that she was trying to calm her inner excitement. She bowed slightly and said with a trembling voice, "Teacher Suzuki, I have a few questions about cooking that I don't quite understand. Could you... could you help me answer them?"

Chaoyang raised his head, looked at her face full of expectation, and just smiled and nodded.

After getting Chaoyang's consent.

The student excitedly asked him a few questions.

Cai Bo Chaoyang began to patiently answer her questions one by one. During this process, the student sometimes listened carefully and sometimes lowered her head in deep thought.

She looked very focused, but occasionally she would secretly glance at Cai Bo Chaoyang out of the corner of her eyes!

finally.

Following Chaoyang’s explanation.

Her brows gradually relaxed, and a smile of "sudden enlightenment" appeared on her face.

She even kept nodding her head, as if she wanted to engrave every word Chaoyang had just said deeply into her mind.

When she understood the answer to the question, she bowed deeply to Caibo Chaoyang again and said, "Thank you, Professor Suzuki. Your answer really gave me new ideas and solutions."

Then, she left the cooking class with full harvest and joy!

……

"Oh?"

“The new lecturer seems to be loved by many students.”

Soma accidentally saw this scene and couldn't help but be surprised.

Indeed, whether in terms of personal charm or cooking skills, this instructor named Suzuki is almost perfect.

kind!

warmth!

As for the temperament, there is nothing to say.

His eyes were deep and bright, like two shining stars, sparkling with wisdom.

Especially every time when he looked at the students of Totsuki on the podium, his eyes always revealed endless care and encouragement, making the students feel extremely confident.

His classes are always full of energy!

Moreover, he is good at using various teaching methods and means to make boring cooking knowledge vivid and interesting.

When evaluating the cooking made by students, he always uses vivid language, figurative metaphors and interesting cases to guide students to have a deeper understanding and make them aware of some of their own problems.

Obviously, how could such a lecturer not be loved by students?

But no one expected that this kind and friendly new lecturer actually had another face!

……

SHINO'S

This is the restaurant opened by Kojiro Shinomiya in Japan.

Soft light, tidy kitchen, no thick fumes, no sweat from busy work, only Shinomiya, known as the "magician of vegetable cooking", leading other kitchen helpers to make one French dish after another, which is complicated but colorful!

As the music played, the diners exclaimed in amazement at the delicious food. Everything…

They all look as beautiful as oil paintings!

"Hmm~"

"As expected of Senior Shinomiya."

"Your plate of foie gras is getting warmer and warmer."

After yesterday's late-night cooking incident, Hinatako and the others could only gather at this SHINO'S cooking branch that had not yet closed down.

Now, of course, they were sitting together, gazing at the exquisite dishes on the table with salivating eyes.

All of these were done by the four palaces.

And it tastes really delicious.

Each dish has an unusually rich layering of flavors, with the richness of the meat, the freshness of the vegetables, and the unique flavor brought by the seasonings.

They blend together, set off each other, and together form a colorful world of taste.

……

"Humph!"

"I really didn't expect that."

"Even you guys have been defeated by the late night cooks."

Si Gong, seeing the people present, snorted coldly at first, but then he couldn't help feeling helpless and sighed.

"I heard that they took down almost all the one-star restaurants in Japan in just one day. Shinomiya, you have to be careful. I'm afraid their next target will be you!" Mizuhara Fuyumi said with lingering fear.

Whenever she thought of the clown Markanta, she felt a little scared and terrified.

"Ok!"

"I know that."

Shinomiya shrugged and said, "In fact, they sent me a food battle challenge letter last night."

"what?"

After these words were spoken, Hinatako, Mizuhara Fuyumi and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Dojima Gin, on the other hand, didn't say a word from beginning to end. Instead, he held his chin with one hand, as if thinking about something.

……

Sure enough, after a while.

Cai Bo Chaoyang, who always wore a baseball cap and a mask, finally showed up!

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here today!"

Chaoyang, who had just entered this SHINO'S restaurant branch, quickly noticed Hinatako and others. Finally, he set his eyes on Dojima Gin, and couldn't help but exuding a hint of excitement.

“It’s time to come.”

"It will come eventually."

Seeing this, Sigong was forced to step out and deal with Caibo Chaoyang personally.

Unexpectedly, Dojima Gin suddenly stood up and said to Chaoyang, "Can I replace Shinomiya and have a food battle with you?"

"Ok?"

"I can't ask for it!"

Cai Bo was stunned for a moment, then happily agreed.

"Yin, you..."

Sigong, on the other hand, was full of surprise.

But when he was about to open his mouth to stop her, he was interrupted by Dojima Gin: "Didn't you fail last time?"

“If I choose to have a cooking duel with him again this time, I believe the original outcome will still not be changed. Rather than watching you get humiliated, why not let me give it a try!

……

This time, facing Cai Bo.

There are quite a lot of ingredients prepared by Dojima Gin.

The main ingredients are: buckwheat noodles, starch, beef, seasonal vegetables, apples, onions, and carrots; the main seasonings are chili powder, sesame oil, sesame seeds, mashed garlic, salt, baking soda, vinegar, and soy sauce.

first step.

First cut the beef into large pieces, soak it in cold water, and then wash it.

Then the second step is to stew the beef.

Some people say: "Beef stew tastes good but is difficult to make."

Actually, it's not difficult.

The skill of stewing beef can be summarized in one sentence: choose the right meat, the soup should be plenty, use yellow bean paste as the base and a little salt, add all the seasonings together, and cook at just the right heat until the meat is fragrant and tender.

There are many parts of beef that are suitable for stewing, such as tendons, loins, arches, chests, and spines, which account for about 70% of the whole beef.

These parts have tendons and skin, and are fat and lean. They look unsightly and are not popular with customers. However, if they are cooked properly, the meat will be puffy, soft, tender, fresh and delicious after maturity.

After boiling over high heat, remove the lid and simmer for twenty minutes to remove odors. Then cover the pot and use low heat to allow oil to float on the surface of the soup. Maintain a certain temperature to achieve the effect of stewing.

Slowly, the stewed beef becomes tender and soft, the soup is delicious and fresh, and the aroma is fragrant.

Beef aroma.

At this moment, it is becoming more and more intense.

Once this primitive, natural, rough, meaty aroma is released, it will sweep everything madly with an unstoppable force.

Just move your nose and you will be intoxicated by it and unable to extricate yourself for a long time.

Fragrant!

So delicious!

"You're really good."

“It’s amazing that the flavor of the beef can be fully brought out through stewing.”

At this moment, Cai Bo Chaoyang smelled it and couldn't help but admire it.

……

"admit."

"Aren't your knife skills excellent?"

"To be able to cut the tofu so neatly, the knife skills are sometimes elegant, sometimes domineering, fast, and quite skilled."

"With your level, even the top ten of Totsuki Academy may not be as good as you!"

Dojima Gin looked at Saiba Chaoyang and frowned slightly.

But he didn't think much about it and quickly put the onions and carrots into a special small cloth bag and put them into the pot.

Finally, he waited for the beef to be fully cooked, took it out, placed it on a chopping board, and when it cooled, cut it into thin slices.

Da Da Da~

The knife skills are very fast.

He is the graduate with the highest score in the history of Totsuki, and also the first among the 69th Totsuki Ten.

There is no doubt that Dojima Gin's cooking skills are absolutely amazing.

Finally, mix buckwheat flour and starch in a certain proportion in a dough basin, scald it with boiling water to make it slightly hard, add an appropriate amount of alkali, knead it well, fold it into round strips, put it into a special extruder, quickly press it into noodles, and then cook it in a pot of boiling water.

"Well, now let's get to the point."

A gleam of light flashed in Dojima Gin's eyes, and his aura suddenly surged.

Meanwhile, this side.

Cai Bo Chaoyang, he began to heat the wok and add oil.

It seemed as if he had become a completely different person at this moment. His whole aura was eerie and chilling.

Suddenly, his personality and his cooking skills suddenly became violent again.

"what?"

Dojima Gin was stunned for a moment.

……

When it comes to vegetarian food, tofu is a must.

It is the most protein-rich plant and an important source of protein for vegetarians.

For a chef, the most basic skills are knife and spoon use.

Therefore, if you want to stir-fry a delicious Mapo Tofu, good stir-frying skills are absolutely indispensable.

At this time, the pot that Cai Caibo Chaoyang used was a Chinese iron pot, which was thin in material but a bit heavy.

but!

Under his skills.

But it was very smooth and there was no pressure at all.

What is even more jaw-dropping is that he basically uses high heat throughout the entire process of stir-frying the tofu, and stirs and flips the pot quickly while pouring the sauce into the pot.

All the movements are so smooth.

"This skill of flipping the pan, he is..."

"Strange. The last time he fought me, I remembered that he was good at exquisite French cuisine. How could he..."

Sigong was quite puzzled and said to himself.

Here, Qian Hinatako frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it my illusion? Caibo Chaoyang's cooking skills seem very mixed, as if he learned from many people."

"It is quite like that."

"From his knife skills, it is full of elegance and domineering."

“But judging from his current spoon skills, he feels like a completely different chef.”

Kojiro Shinomiya couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This late-night cook who had fought with him before was indeed terrifying!

Even though his cooking skills are diverse, if he could learn the best parts and the most powerful cooking skills of each chef and then combine them in one, that would be incredible!

……

Take the essence and discard the dross.

You know, no matter how outstanding a person is, he will always have some shortcomings.

And if the situation that Qian Hinatazi described really happens, then there is no doubt that the Saiba Chaoyang in front of him will definitely have no shortcomings.

Because, in the end.

He is destined to know everything and be proficient in everything.

Awkward.

As everyone was talking, the situation changed again.

The unique bean aroma of tofu bursts out instantly. It feels like a lion hiding in the grassland, suddenly jumping out and pouncing on the prey in front of it, catching you off guard.

"Forehead!"

"Isn't this too outrageous?"

While busy, Dojima Gin suddenly felt that the air was filled with the aroma of tofu.

This fragrance is very strong and stimulating.

Therefore, he stopped inadvertently, raised his head and looked deeply at Cai Bo Chaoyang.

Afterwards, he continued to calmly scoop up the cooked noodles, put seasonal vegetables such as kimchi and four or five slices of cooked beef on them, poured garlic chili sauce on them, and then put fruit slices and shredded eggs on them.

Finally, he poured beef broth on it.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the dish he made had already surpassed Cai Bo Chaoyang's tofu in terms of fragrance!

……

At this time, everyone reacted.

The air was filled with the light yet unusually strong smell of beef.

On the other hand, Cai Bo Chaoyang's stir-fried Mapo Tofu was like a sleeping lion, as if it had lost all its strength.

"how?"

My beef cold noodles, not bad! ”

Dojima Gin couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and said to Chaoyang with a chuckle.

"It's good."

Cai Bo looked up at the sun and said calmly.

"But my mapo tofu is not finished yet."

After saying that, he added minced garlic and continued to stir-fry until the aroma came out.

Alive!

The sleeping lion woke up again.

An even stronger aroma suddenly burst out again, attacking directly towards the light beef smell of Dojima Gin.

After a while, the whole kitchen was once again filled with the aroma of Mapo Tofu.

……

Dojima Gin was stunned on the spot.

He gave a helpless wry laugh and said, "There aren't many people who can push me to this point, and you're one of them!"

After saying that, he sprinkled some roasted sesame seeds and drizzled some oil on it.

"Finish!"

Looking at the finished beef cold noodles in front of him, Dojima Gin took a deep breath and smiled.

"I'm done too."

Cai Bo was facing the sun, serving mapo tofu on a plate.

Afterwards, he looked around and spoke to Dojima Gin and others with a sharp gaze.

If you look closely, you will find that the two people's dishes are completely different. First of all, Cai Bo Chaoyang's mapo tofu is hot and spicy, and the taste is very rich.

However, Dojima Gin's light beef cold noodles are cold and light.

The taste!

Naturally, light food is the main choice.

One cold and one hot.

One spicy and one light.

One tofu and one cold noodle.

Although the styles are very different, both dishes are excellent!
