Rebirth as a Cooking God

There is a unique cave inside the soup pot!

In Nakiri Munue's field of vision, in addition to the boiling and rolling water, there was actually a small pot rising and falling in the mist.

When did you put this small pot in?

Thump thump thump.

Unable to resist, he turned around and returned to the tea table in the outer room. At this time, Nakiri Munei changed his sitting position to standing, so that he could have an overview of the entire inner room. He was sitting and chatting before, and his field of vision was blind. He broke his head and thought carefully. It only captured the scene of Xia Yu carrying the pot onto the stove.

So, suddenly there is another pot in the soup pot, which is simply magic.

At first, Nakiri Munue was very frightened. Then he walked from the outer room to the inner room and stood in front of the hot boiler. His pounding heartbeat gradually became calmer.

After all, he is a famous molecular gastronomy scholar, and he finally calmed down.

Does this pot have anything to do with the heat?

Nakiri Munue asked complicatedly.

You researchers like to use scientific logic to talk about heat. You just said what you think of heat. So, what I want to ask now is, can heat directly act on ingredients?

Senzaemon asked slowly.

of course not!

Responding without hesitation, Nakiri Munewei said: There is a medium for heat. To put it simply, oil and water are needed to heat food and cook food. Oil refers to deep-frying, and cooking methods such as stir-frying also require the use of oil. Water is much softer than oil, so the texture of boiled, blanched, or braised food has nothing to do with crispiness, but more with softness and suppleness.

Hearing this, Senzaemon calmly pointed to the boiling soup pot: Then what does the heat in this pot use to act on the ingredients?

Um?

No longer as smooth as before, Nakiri Souei paused and continued to look at the small pot rising and falling in the soup pot.

It should be stewed in water.

Very uncertain.

wrong!

Not stew? Nakiri Souei was confused.

It's steam! Steam!

Steam?

With eyes wide open, Nakiri Munue took a closer look at the small clay pot in the soup pot. He saw that the pot, including the lid, was tightly sealed with only small holes.

Moreover, the hole was still on the water, so Xia Yu used a spatula more than one meter long to support the casserole all the time, so that the pot would not sink into the water, be submerged, and flood the golden mountain.

gas!

Suddenly, Nakiri Munuei's pupils shrank and he stared at the small exposed holes in the casserole, through which the overflowing steam was getting in one by one.

Although this change is very weak, it has been clearly observed by cautious molecular food researchers.

This, this soup is steamed? He murmured with shock in his eyes.

Bring me a bucket of warm water—

At this time, Xia Yu, who had been maintaining the balance of the casserole, did not even raise his head and just gave instructions with his head down.

Nakiri Munue was still frowning and thinking, but the old man turned around, went to the stove, turned off the valve, and easily lifted a large cooking pot with both hands. The pot was full of hot water!

Wow——

Hot water was poured into the stock pot on the stove, and the rapidly decreasing water was replenished.

Therefore, Xia Yu continued his cooking rhythm and had no time to look at who was helping him carry and pour water.

half an hour.

One hour.

This, is this the sixth bucket of water?

During this period, Erina, Alice, and Nakiri Munue were as motionless as Natsu Yu's stone statues in front of the stove, while Senzaemon, the 'Demon of Food', turned into a busy porter, carrying food back and forth. Water, pour water.

Seeing that the sixth bucket of water was about to boil dry, Nakiri Munei was sweating and asked his old father standing beside him in a low voice: This steaming is too time-consuming!

Unexpectedly, Senzaemon said coolly: It's only been an hour. If you want to get a casserole of soup using this distillation method in a normal Chinese restaurant, you have to be prepared to stay up all night.

Want to stay up all night?

Wouldn’t that be seven or eight hours?

Nakiri Munue was speechless. After a while, he keenly grasped a key word in his old father's words——

Distillation.

Distillation? Looking at the casserole with pores again, Nakiri Munue's eyes shone brightly, and he vaguely understood the principle of such a cooking process.

After another quarter of an hour, when the water in the soup pot was completely boiled dry, the heavy breathing of the charcoal stove flame also suddenly stopped.

alright?

Erina and Alice both stood up.

Leonora waved to them and said in a funny tone: Sit down quickly, I'm just making soup now, and there's ramen to cook. This is ramen!

Yes, and ramen!

Nakiri Souei also raised his head and happened to meet Xia Yu's stunned gaze.

How long have you two been standing there? Xia Yu found a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, put on insulated gloves, jumped on the stove, took out the small clay pot from the soup pot, and placed it firmly on the kitchen counter.

always there.

Nakiri Munue followed him and was full of curiosity about this clay pot. He reached out and wanted to lift the lid, but it was slapped away. Xia Yu glared at him and said speechlessly: Just take a good look, don't touch it, this is my kitchen now!

He pointed to his feet.

It was clear that Nakiri Munei was one of the owners of the house, but Xia Yu's tone was very tough.

Nakiri Munue also knew that he was being abrupt, and it was all due to curiosity. He immediately withdrew his hand in embarrassment and apologized: I was just curious and couldn't hold it back!

It's not possible to expose it now.

Xia Yu said, wash your hands and prepare enough materials for making noodles.

The Devil's Recipe, the ramen aspect is full of Japanese style.

In terms of materials, there are three types of Japanese ramen: plain noodles, udon noodles and soba noodles.

In terms of the shape of the noodles, they are divided into thin noodles, medium-thin noodles, medium-sized noodles and too-large noodles. As we all know, Hakata ramen usually uses thinner noodles.

Xia Yu said that Japanese ramen is just a small branch of the Chinese noodle field. The ancestors of noodle making and the noodle making materials originally came from the Chinese mainland. Even if you ask the Neon people personally, they will admit that ramen is a The birthplace of this kind of cuisine is in China.

Kneading and making noodles was naturally not a problem for Xia Yu.

Moreover, in terms of noodles, the ingredients are very ordinary, and there is no unknown fantasy ingredient.

First mix the buckwheat flour and wheat flour.

Calculate the amount, mix the dust, then add water and knead.

In particular, Japanese ramen usually uses alkaline water to increase the elasticity of the noodles.

Another ten minutes.

Snapped!

Take out the dark pastry pin, throw the dough in the mixing bowl on a clean countertop, use the pastry pin as a rolling pin, roll it back and forth, and make a large dough cake with even thickness on the outer edge and center area. , just spread out on the countertop.

Then, stack the dough, layer after layer.

The sword flashed.

The excess fabric at the corners was cut off, followed by the sound of falling knives!

Dong dong dong!

It only took about 30 seconds to make a total of six flat and wide bunches of buckwheat flour, which were light brown in color and placed on a metal tray with a lot of white flour.

One bunch is enough for a large bowl.

The soup and noodles are ready, and finally the ingredients come naturally!

The ingredients of Japanese ramen are relatively complicated. Fortunately, the ingredients of The Devil's Ramen are plain noodles. There is no barbecued pork. The vegetables do not even need to be boiled. They are washed, green onions are shredded, and bean sprouts have green leaves. Put it in the ramen bowl like this, it has a good decorative effect.

There are only one bowl of hot spring eggs, which is more labor-intensive and requires boiling water to make.

Ding!

Soon after ringing the serving bell on the kitchen counter, Xia Yu looked up at the digital alarm clock on the wall, grinned and said in a good mood: There are still 5 minutes left, just two hours! The efficiency is almost as expected!
