Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Believe.

Many people should have eaten buffet!

We have all seen plates of food spinning automatically on a buffet wheel.

When the food you want appears in front of you, you can just reach out with your chopsticks and take it.

Ah!

This way of eating.

Indeed, it is a bit interesting and can give diners more choices.

The flowing water surfaces that have become popular in Japan recently are based on the same principle!

People who want to eat noodles line up in order next to a long bamboo tube filled with running water, and then the noodles will flow down with the water and be available for diners to eat freely!

This method is particularly novel and fresh.

someone said.

How do you eat flowing noodles? Isn't this just plain noodles?

In fact, at the front of the long bamboo tube, the chefs will put the noodles and other foods into the long bamboo tube, and then slide down along the flowing water inside. People can stand on both sides of the long bamboo tube and take the noodles and ingredients inside by themselves!

In addition, Japanese people prefer to eat very light and original foods with sauces.

Therefore, they will put the dipping sauce aside first, pick up the noodles and put them in the dipping sauce bowl, just dip it lightly and you can eat it directly!

At the very end of the bamboo tube.

There is usually a small basket to catch the leftover food.

The purpose of doing this is to prevent waste!

……

It is different from flowing water.

In the Yunnan-Tibet region of China, there is a special snack called Jiajia noodles!

A large bowl is cooked each time and served in small bowls. Each small bowl only has one mouthful. The chef then adds more food in batches. After each mouthful, a bowl is added. It is cooked with minced meat and is extremely delicious.

The meal will not stop until the diners have completely stopped eating.

Eat Gaga noodles.

More casual, but fun.

If you don’t want to eat it with noodles, just use a large bowl and eat it directly.

If you have enough time and want to have fun, you can eat the noodles in a small bowl, which has a different taste.

Eat a bowl each time.

Just next to the bowl, place a stone.

When he really couldn't eat any more, he used chopsticks to make an "X" shape on the bowl to indicate that he didn't want more noodles.

Therefore, the characteristic of Gaga Noodles is the pursuit of leisure and entertainment. As for the complicated service and cooking methods, they express welcome to diners from afar.

In fact, the Chameleon Bowl Pagoda Noodles dish that Zhang Fan is making now is similar to Gaga Noodles and has a similar way of eating!

……

This dish.

Absolutely first-rate noodle food.

A variety of different soups, combined with different noodles, create hundreds of different tastes.

Noodle.

Basically they are all very powerful.

There are many kinds of soups.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that this is definitely one of the best pasta dishes in terms of both quantity and quality.

Finally, Zhang Fan took out dozens of small ceramic bowls, divided the five kinds of noodles into dozens of portions and put them into the small bowls. Then he prepared dozens of small bowls, divided the several kinds of soups that had just been cooked into dozens of portions, and poured them into the bowls!

So, what was placed in front of the "king" were dozens of small bowls of noodles and dozens of bowls of noodle soup.

These bowls, all neatly placed on the long dining table, look like small peaks, emitting an attractive luster.

Noodles, thin and uniform.

Some are as white as jade, some are golden, some are green, and some are even orange!

As for the soup, there is more:

There are chicken bone broth, coconut milk soup, beef broth, mushroom soup, and strange-flavored seafood soup.

……

"This……"

"Dozens of small bowls of noodles and soup, are they just one dish?"

The king, who had never seen such a grand occasion, had a head like a ball of tangled cotton at this moment, and his thoughts were unable to develop clearly.

"Correct!"

“This is the Chameleon Bowl Tower.”

“It is a magical noodle dish that uses different noodles and different soups to stimulate the human appetite.”

Zhang Fan stood up and explained with a faint smile.

"Different sides?"

“There are different soups?”

The king was even more confused, but looking at the endless noodles and noodle soup in front of him, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "The way to eat this kind of food..."

"random!"

"You can wear it any way you want."

"According to the size of the small ceramic bowls, each bowl of noodles and each bowl of soup is just the right amount for one mouthful."

"After you finish a bite, just pour the soup from one bowl onto the other bowl of noodles."

Zhang Fan continued.

"interesting."

"I've heard that your izakaya has a rule that diners can order dishes freely."

"Now, it seems that you not only follow this rule, but you can also cook simple pasta dishes so casually and freely!"

"Tell me the truth."

"Just for your thoughtfulness, I admire you very much."

"I rarely volunteer to tell my name in front of you chefs. I usually just use the code name of the king to introduce myself to others!"

"Hello, please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Davis!"

Indeed, from this moment on.

In Davis' eyes, Zhang Fan is indeed worthy of respect.

"Ok!"

"Hurry up and taste it first."

“I believe this dish will subvert the perception of you late-night cooks.”

Zhang Fan shrugged and replied nonchalantly.

……

Then, Davis quickly poured a small bowl of tempting amber soup into the emerald-colored spinach noodles!

In an instant, the noodles rolled in the soup, as flexible and elastic as silver threads.

Accompanied by stirring with chopsticks.

Every strand of noodle has fully absorbed the essence of the broth.

full!

And lustrous.

Then, gently pick up another noodle.

It seemed to dance in the air, exuding a light aroma of spinach and a rich aroma of chicken bone broth.

Look at the broth again, it has a slight sheen under the light.

It is the rich and delicious aroma released by the chicken bones after a long period of stewing. Every drop of broth is like a concentrated essence, with the mellowness of chicken, the richness of bones, and the unique flavor of a variety of spices blended in during the stewing process!

The noodles are surrounded by a few green vegetable leaves and a few tender chicken slices.

Green vegetable leaves.

Gently swaying in the hot soup, green and juicy.

It adds a refreshing color to this bowl of noodles and also adds a bit of flavor.

As for the chicken slices, they are as thin as a cicada's wing, with clear texture, tender and juicy meat. When you take a light bite, you can feel the delicacy of the chicken and the mellowness of the broth intertwined in your mouth.

Stir gently.

The noodles blend perfectly with the broth, vegetables and chicken.

Each bite is full of layers of flavour, starting with the pliability of the noodles and the aroma of spinach.

This is followed by the richness and fragrance of the broth, and finally the delicacy of the chicken and the freshness of the vegetables.

Such deliciousness is amazing!

Davis suddenly felt that he was in a very warm embrace, and the cold and fatigue of winter were gradually gone.

"Ok?"

"just this?"

Davis swallowed and came back to his senses, staring at the empty little ceramic bowl.

He just felt that he had not yet satisfied and that he was not satisfied enough!

……

then.

His eyes couldn't help but look at the bowl of milky coconut milk soup.

The coconut milk soup is quietly placed on the wooden dining table, exuding a faint sweet fragrance, like the breeze blowing across the tropical beach, bringing a hint of coolness and tenderness.

white.

Thick.

Slightly shiny.

It sways gently, as if whispering a story from far away.

Every drop of coconut milk contains the essence of coconut, constantly emitting a faint coconut fragrance into the air.

The fragrance is pure and natural, as fresh and sweet as the morning dew!

So, Davis, whose appetite was completely aroused, quickly picked up the small bowl of milky coconut milk soup, and then poured it into the small bowl containing dragon fruit and carrot noodles!

If you look closely, you can see a few pieces of crystal clear coconut meat floating in the coconut milk soup.

They seemed to be coated with a layer of silver by moonlight, or like pearls on the seabed, lying there quietly.

Coconut meat.

The texture is soft and elastic.

You can feel its unique sweetness and light coconut aroma in every bite.

The combination with coconut milk soup directly makes the taste of the whole bowl of soup richer and more layered.

And when the chopsticks stir gently.

The coconut milk soup seemed to be given life and began to slowly rotate.

The scene was like a dynamic scroll, so beautiful that it made people intoxicated. As the heat rose, the faint coconut fragrance became stronger, bound to bring Davis into a world full of sunshine and enthusiasm.

Taking a sip of coconut milk soup, you will first feel the delicate and smooth taste of coconut milk, followed by the sweetness and elasticity of coconut meat.

They are intertwined together, as if dancing a happy dance on the tip of the tongue, while the light coconut aroma lingers in the mouth for a long time, leaving people with an endless aftertaste!

The noodles are delicate and the soup is rich.

The combination of the two makes every bite a feast for your taste buds.

Yes!

It always makes people unable to resist taking a bite...

"Hey?"

"Gone again?"

"The amount in a small bowl is really just enough to fill the gaps between your teeth!"

Davis' tone inevitably expressed his desire for more food.

After all, just two mouthfuls of noodles were like a meteor passing through the teeth, leaving behind only a momentary light and endless emptiness.

……

After that, there was a small bowl of soba noodles in beef broth.

This is a pasta dish that combines traditional craftsmanship with unique flavor.

The steaming noodles are swirling in the bowl, and with the addition of broth, they immediately exude a rich aroma that is mouth-watering.

Noodle.

Even though the buckwheat noodles I chose were from the supermarket.

But in the pot, Zhang Fan had already cooked it to perfection, not too soft, yet still having enough toughness.

Therefore, it is smooth and chewy when eaten.

Beef broth is the soul of this noodle dish. It is made by slow-cooking fresh beef, beef bones and various spices. After several hours of stewing, the deliciousness of the beef and the mellowness of the beef bones are perfectly blended to form a mellow and rich soup base with rich taste.

With every bite, you can taste the accumulation of time and Zhang Fan’s hard work!

The beef part.

The beef chosen is definitely not very good, but rather ordinary leftover beef leg meat.

The meat is tender and juicy with alternating fat and lean parts. After stewing, the beef leg absorbs the essence of the broth and becomes crispy and tasty.

With just a light bite, you can feel the tenderness and deliciousness of the meat.

Of course.

Beef and noodles combination.

It was a match made in heaven, and Davis couldn't stop.

In addition, the noodles are sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander as garnish. The green chopped green onions and coriander add a touch of fresh color to the bowl of noodles, while also adding a crisp texture to the taste.

The whole bowl of beef soup noodles is really delicious.

The noodles are smooth and chewy, the broth is rich and delicious, the beef is crispy and tasty, and it is garnished with chopped green onions and coriander. It is simply full of happiness!

……

After that, it was a bowl of mushroom noodle soup.

The appearance of this bowl of noodles seems to bring the freshness and tranquility of the mountains and forests.

The first thing that catches your eye is the golden soup base, which is like the rising sun, warm and bright.

On the soup.

There are a few light pieces of fungus floating on the surface.

They are like fallen leaves in autumn, swaying gently, or like lotus leaves on the lake, leisurely and contented.

Some of these mushroom slices are dark brown, while others are light khaki. They expand in the soup, giving off a light mushroom aroma.

The noodles are long and chewy, just like a girl's hair, soft and elastic.

They are immersed in the golden soup, trembling slightly, as if telling their own story, and a few drops of crystal soup hang on the noodles, dotted on them like pearls, making people can't help but want to find out!

Then, Davis gently picked up a noodle, and it slid into his mouth like silk, with a faint wheat aroma and the richness of mushroom soup.

The mushroom slices melt in the mouth, releasing a rich aroma and creating a unique delicious taste.

Such deliciousness.

Not too strong, nor too light.

While tasting this bowl of mushroom noodle soup, Davis seemed to be able to feel the gift of nature and the ingenuity of the chef.

The golden soup base is the result of Zhang Fan's careful preparation; and the selection and combination of mushroom slices represent his respect and cherishment for the ingredients.

Obviously.

In this bowl of mushroom noodle soup.

Many things that were elusive to Davis were presented perfectly!

……

At last.

It's just a bowl of weird-tasting seafood noodle soup.

The rich soup looks like treasure from the deep sea that has been carefully brewed.

There are a few pieces of tender white squid floating on the soup, they are like graceful dancers, swaying gently in the slightly yellow soup.

The squid was cut into long thin strips, each of which was filled with the essence of the soup.

Take a bite, and the delicious juice bursts in your mouth instantly, with a hint of ocean flavor.

At the same time, the unique strange taste also spreads gently on the tip of the tongue. It is neither completely sweet nor completely salty, but various flavors intertwine and collide on the tip of the tongue, forming an indescribable wonderful taste.

The noodles are made from premium wheat flour and are carefully crafted to give them a delicate and chewy texture.

Every strand of noodle is covered with soup.

It seems to be wearing a golden coat, and the taste is more complex.

Except for the squid.

Various seafood ingredients are also added to the soup noodles.

Tender shrimps, smooth fish fillets and plump shellfish, each of them exudes a unique seafood aroma, which blends perfectly with the delicious soup.

All of these led Davis directly into a seafood feast!

wonderful!

It’s amazing!
