Rebirth as a Cooking God

The dinner party lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening.

The graduates left early, and Xia Yu was called to a private kitchen by Yin Dojima.

Please sit down—

Greeting Xia Yu and Liangzi Lina to sit down, Dojima Yin put a document on the table and went to change the chef's uniform.

After a while, Dojima Yin returned and was busy at the kitchen counter.

recipe?

Picking up the folder and opening a page, Xia Yu immediately straightened his sitting posture and stared at the title.

Special recipe Valencia Paia?

It's kind of familiar.

No matter what, he is a big foodie. Xia Yu claimed to have eaten food from many countries, and he always felt that 'Valencia Baia' gave him a sense of familiarity.

Valencia? Ryoko Lina glanced over and said lightly, Spanish paella.

right!

Xia Yu slapped his thigh, Isn't Valencia the third largest city in Spain and the second seaport!

Baia sounds like a mouthful, but it's easy to understand when it comes to paella.

You know, paella is one of the three famous dishes of Western food, along with spaghetti and French snails.

Although it is a famous dish, it is unavoidably branded as 'popular'...

Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: Dojima Yin will not fool me with a popular recipe?

Dojima Yin is now paying off his debts.

A few nights ago, Dojima Yin asked him to launch a food halberd to Sigong and wake him up. Xia Yu did everything as promised. Therefore, on the fifth night of the residential study, Dojima Yin finally had time to teach the recipe.

The problem is that what Silver Dojima promised is a special recipe, Valencia Baia sounds like Spice Ninete Egyptian Roast Chicken at all.

The first page of the recipe is densely packed with ingredients.

Main ingredients: Shrimp, scallops, monkfish, rice.

Accessories: olive oil, French sauce, tomato sauce.

Spices: saffron, paprika, garlic, chicken powder, fish powder.

They are all common materials.

Saffron?

His eyes stopped on the spice information, and Xia Yu's eyes showed a trace of surprise. He did not expect this kind of spice to be used in this dish.

Saffron, in fact, is Sichuan saffron and saffron. It is a precious medicinal material, and it can also be used as a spice in cooking.

Pungent in taste, bright in color and exuding the smell of natural herbs, saffron can be said to be the most expensive spice in the world today, if fantasy-level spices are excluded.

It is nothing special……

Turning to the second page, it is the recipe of the soup.

Um? !

After a few glances, Xia Yu sat up straight, This is probably the core secret of Dojima Silver's recipe!

Saute, boil, bake.

These are the three cooking methods used in Valencia Baia.

Inheriting the usual cumbersomeness of Western food, it is full of details from the making of the broth. Xia Yu read through the recipes, roughly memorized the details that needed attention, then got up, walked to the kitchen counter, and watched Dojima Gin's live cooking.

On the kitchen counter, a pot of broth was already standing there, emitting steam.

Dojima Gin is working on the second session - stewing!

Shrimp, scallops, squid, and monkfish, sautéed to a beautiful golden color with garlic, paprika, and peeled Italian tomato sauce, Dojima Gin scooped up a spoonful of stock and poured it into the pan.

Then he grabbed a handful of black uncooked rice and sprinkled it into the pot.

black rice!

Xia Yu keenly realized that this might be the second secret of the special recipe of Valencia Baia!

Pitch black rice?!

A surprised voice came from behind.

Ryoko Lina said: This kind of extremely dark rice is called 'pitch black rice', and the market price per 100 grams is 80,000 yen. It was found by food hunters in the 'Nunavut' area near the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada about ten years ago. I found that it is the only known grain that can survive in a cold environment. It has a strong and mellow taste, with the sweetness of starch, and its quality far exceeds that of ordinary rice...

Fantasy ingredients!

Dark rice!

I can't help but take a breath, this special recipe is stable!

Xia Yu put aside her distracting thoughts and stared at the pan on the stove. The black rice was stewed in the golden sauce without any discolouration.

The stewing took about 20 minutes. During this period, Dojima Silver was not idle, but turned around and took out the red finely chopped branches from the private cabinet. This kind of thing is saffron, but obviously it cannot be directly used for cooking paella. Gindojima grabbed a handful of saffron and sprinkled it on a piece of tin foil.

Then, he put the tin foil on a charcoal stove that had already made charcoal and fired it, and baked the saffron at high temperature through the barbed wire and tin foil.

10 minutes later.

Dojima Gin crushed the roasted and dried saffron, rinsed it with water, and then poured the water into the pan!

Swipe the spatula to mix the saffron water with the food, and the food in the pot will be transformed into a bright red color!

Black rice with red accessories.

One red and one black.

The visual effects are just perfect.

Xia Yu secretly praised it in his heart, and fell in love with this recipe even more. Good stuff!

Pay attention to what he adds to the cooking. Liang Zilina reminded, There is always a difference between recipes and on-site cooking. Skilled chefs usually deviate from the recipes and improvise according to the actual situation.

No need to remind, Xia Yu also kept her eyes fixed on Dojima Yin.

Chicken powder, fish powder.

Huh... That vegetable, which looks like a flower, is an artichoke? Xia Yu thought to himself.

Artichoke was originally a plant along the Mediterranean coast. It was discovered and used in cooking as early as 2,000 years ago in Roman times. It is known as the king of vegetables in Europe.

The taste is sweet and fragrant, and most importantly, the artichoke has the aroma of walnut kernels!

Think about the feeling of mouth and teeth when eating walnut kernels. It is not difficult to imagine that adding a few pieces of peeled artichokes when cooking can greatly enhance the diverse tastes of the dishes!

Artichokes are both vegetables and spices for seasoning.

Inexplicably, Xia Yu faintly realized that artichokes and pitch-black rice were very likely to be a CP combination.

What is the CP combination of cooking?

This is the same as Kojiro Shinomiya's white wine pairing with sea bass, a golden national-level match, and this kind of match often constitutes the core secret of cooking!

Fantastic ingredients, especially fusion.

For Xia Yu, who has been in contact with 'Shuangjiang Tofu' and tried to use this kind of tofu to improve the recipe, he is very concerned about the fusion mechanism!

Why are only strong chefs qualified to use fantasy ingredients in their cooking?

The reason is nothing more than fantasy ingredients, unruly and unruly, stand out from the crowd, and the characteristic flavor is too obvious, so a certain special recipe is usually based on the core research of fantasy ingredients.

Accessories, side dishes, spices.

All for a fusion of fancy ingredients to serve!

Ding!

Oven reminder tone.

Dojima Gin opened the oven, took out the 'Valencia Baia' baked at 250°C for 10 minutes, placed it on the kitchen counter, and decorated the plate with a few slices of fresh lemon.

Food is complete!

All of a sudden, the sound of the raging waves of the Arctic Ocean faintly echoed in the private kitchen.
