Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Two hours are up! Miss Erina and Liu Maoxing have all completed their works, so it's time for review and submission!

In the blink of an eye, two hours have passed, and both Liu Maoxing and Erina have finished their manga meat.

First of all, the auditee, Ms. Nakiri Erina, please submit your 'manga meat'!

Under Rei Kawashima's announcement, Erina sent the five plates of meat to the jury with a trolley...

At this time, there were three judges, all of whom were academic staff of Yuanyue. They were Jing Pu Jiushang, the director of the Food Halberd Administration, Chapelle, the academic director of French cuisine, and Jun Shiomi, a professor of spices from the Spice Research Association!

The three are all acquaintances. Among them, Jingpu Jiushang is the director of the Food Halberd Administration Bureau and is a symbol of justice. Among the other two, Chapel is a more prestigious and powerful lecturer among the students, and Xi Jian Run may seem small, but he is also an authority on spices...

It is enough for them to judge the increase or decrease of the research agency's funding, which is enough to ensure fairness.

Before I taste it, I want to make sure, Ms. Erina...you are the honorary leader of the 'Manga Cuisine Research Institute', right?

Jingpu Jiushang looked at Erina's cooking, although he also salivated, but he still did not forget his duty.

Oizumi Kakinosuke often criticized Jing Pu, thinking that he was not devout enough for cooking. In the eyes of many gourmets, when delicious food is put in front of them, everything else should be put aside!

Talking about other things in front of delicious food is a disrespect to the food itself...

But Jing Pu Jiushang is obviously not this kind of gourmet, he will not forget his responsibility just because the delicious food is in front of him, so although he is not as good as a professional gourmet in terms of food appreciation, he is still qualified as the director of the food bureau !

That's right, not long after I founded the 'Manga Cuisine Research Club' in Romance, I was already their honorary leader. Unlike some people, I often join the research club on the spot before eating the halberd! Erina thought a little bit said pointing.

Apparently, Erina still remembers that last year around this time, Liu Maoxing suddenly became the representative of the Gai Fang Research Institute and the Sumo Hot Pot Research Club before eating the halberd, and had the halberd eating with Yu Mei and her respectively...

But Liu Maoxing was at the side, but he looked like he didn't understand at all, and he couldn't see the embarrassment at all!

Ahem, before the college's attitude towards the research clubs has always been a competitive survival of the fittest, that is, using 'eating halberds' as a means of war to put all the research societies on the battlefield, just follow the rules of 'eating halberds' Yes...but the current review system is completely different, so there are more restrictive rules, I must confirm that Ms. Erina's cooking can indeed represent the 'Manga Cuisine Research Institute'. Jingpu Jiushang said seriously .

Of course it means that the main design of my 'Manga Meat' was created by Saotome Romance in terms of recipe creation, and then we just made technical fillings! Erina said.

Only then did Jingpu Jiushang nodded, and Xi Jianrun also made a voice at this time: Director Jingpu, can we start?

Seeing Xi Jianjun's impatient look, exactly like a child before dinner, Ha Shan in the auditorium couldn't help covering his face with a headache...

Erina's manga meat looks really good. A meat piece pierced by a typical molar bone is placed in the middle of the plate, covered with sauce, and the rest of the plate is also Vegetables are arranged with various decorations, which looks quite western style!

It looks very appetizing...

As the three judges spoke, they also picked up their knives and forks, and began to cut a piece of Erina's manga meat to taste.

From the feel of a fork and knife piercing the steak, you can feel the soft texture of the meat!

Originally, although I saw Erina's manga meat, it was very finished on the outside. With the cover of the sauce, it looked as if it was a real piece of meat, but after all, it was too much like manga meat Well, there is actually no meat of this shape!

Especially the molar bone that passes through the middle. At the beginning, everyone saw the turkey leg bone that Erina shaved...

So the judges always felt that this meat should be something like steak or hamburger meat!

When it comes to steak and hamburger meat in island countries, it usually refers to American hamburger meat, which is a pie-shaped food made of meat, similar to meatballs...

And it wasn't until this time that the knife was moved that everyone realized that it was completely different from the hamburger meat in their imagination from the texture!

If it was hamburger meat, it should feel softer, but now the judges feel that what they are cutting is real meat... even near the bone, they can still feel the presence of tendons!

Cut off a small piece, and the entrance.

Immediately, the faces of the three judges were blushing abnormally, as if they were...boys and girls dating their sweetheart for the first time?

Liu Maoxing didn't know why, after seeing their expressions, he immediately thought of this metaphor instinctively!

Beautiful, delicious! The tenderness of the 'meat' lingers in the mouth... This is definitely a real whole piece of 'meat'!

So that's how it is. It's surrounded by filet mignon from beef tenderloin, and sirloin steak with oily tender tendons is used as a buffer for stitching...

There is also a place close to the bone, using the meat from the beef rib and around the bone! The tender shredded meat is mixed with a little tough oil tendon!

Closed to the top that is most likely to attract the attention of diners, looming in the sauce is the use of boneless beef short ribs, that is, the meat on both sides of the ribcage. The beef short ribs with the clearest meat lines can make diners visually Instinctively think that 'this is meat', in line with today's theme of 'comic meat'!

Wait! This is not a simple combination. If you don't compare the difference in taste between these pieces of meat, you can hardly feel that the two pieces of meat are put together...

Erina heard the words and replied: It's 'transglutaminase', and the effect of seaweed glue!

Glutamine transaminase? Seaweed gel? Jing Pu Jiushang asked in confusion.

That's right, transglutaminase is a relatively common food additive, which can improve the gelling ability and emulsification of protein... and seaweed glue uses 'that', a colloid extracted from seaweed, which can play a role in bonding ! Of course, at the same time, some seasoning skills are also used to make the combination in terms of taste, and it also plays an excessive role!

The that that Erina mentioned is obviously a large-scale equipment next to her cooking table. As for the person who taught her the technique of molecular cooking and how to operate the equipment, Liu Maoxing used his earlobe to think about it. know who it is!

And those beef, needless to say, must be A5 grade...

Liu Maoxing took a speechless glance at the seats of the audience, where everyone in the Ji Xing Liao was located. Among them, Yu Mei turned her head a little shyly, while Alice waved her hand provocatively. At the same time, while others were not paying attention, He made a licking motion to Liu Maoxing, which made Liu Maoxing turn red and turned his head away.

At this moment, Chapelle didn't know what he found, and while tasting the meat piece by piece, he frowned and said: Wait a minute... It is indeed possible to achieve such an effect by following this treatment. , but...enzymes only work when the steak is still raw?

Of course. Erina smiled slightly, as if she had already guessed what Chapelle had discovered.

If the steak is cooked, the protein has been denatured at high temperature, and the enzymes will naturally not work...

Xi Jianjun also realized this, and quickly said: Wait! That is to say, are these stitching processes completed when the meat is still raw?

The audience who didn't know what happened off the court were a little confused about what the judges were surprised...

But Jingpu Jiushang said: But the meat of these parts has just been heated to the most suitable heat for you! Beef short ribs are well-done, filet steak is medium-rare, and sirloin steak is four-to-five Well done, the innermost rib-eye steak is half-rare...Isn't it possible to control the heat well?

Indeed, all kinds of steaks with different suitable heats have already glued together when they were raw. How can we cook them with the most suitable heat?

The innermost rib-eye steak needs a higher heat than the filet and sirloin on the outside. In any case, it can’t be done by adjusting the temperature, right?

It's actually very simple, all the judges need to take a closer look at the end of the turkey leg bone... Erina smiled.

At this time, Chapelle had already eaten the entire piece of comic meat in silence, and picked up the molar bone directly after hearing the words...

This is... Chapelle seemed to find something, and gently broke the end of the bone!

The upper joint part was actually broken directly, obviously it was originally broken and then connected again.

Doing the same thing, Chapel broke off the other end, raised the middle part of the bone in front of him, squinted one eye and looked at the other end...

So that's it! This bone, including the marrow, has been completely hollowed out! Only a thin outer layer remains...I'm afraid there are other special heating equipment that can use this structure? Xia Xia Pell said.

That's right, I prepared a thin heating tube in advance and put it in the bone, so that the inside and the outside can be heated separately, so that the beef short ribs inside are more cooked than the meat outside, which is also possible! Erina said.

In the eyes of the judges, Erina's move was a whimsical idea, but in the eyes of Liu Maoxing, Alice, Fei Shazi and Liu Maoyuan in the audience, they immediately thought of another a similar means...

That is to say, when I was in Jiuzhaigou, I met Maqin and Uncle Deji’s roasted whole cattle, which used this built-in heating tool!

Although the cooking and the tools used are completely different, the theory is the same.

Moreover, Liu Maoxing has also discovered at this time that not only is it built-in heating, but also in the meat cuts made of several steaks, each steak also has its own seasoning, instead of simply putting fried steaks together Together!

When the four different flavors lingered in his mouth, Liu Maoxing even felt in his heart that he saw four heroines of shoujo manga with completely different image and temperament, surrounded by him...

No wonder the judges looked like that after tasting it!

As for why it tasted?

That's right, Liu Maoxing came again uninvited, and tasted an extra portion of comic meat prepared by Erina's cooking table!

At this time, Liu Maoxing also saw the front row of the auditorium, in the area where the girls of the Manga Cuisine Research Institute were, Saotome was looking at him with a proud face...

It seems that this setting in the recipe is based on the romantic hand of Saotome.

However, Liu Maoxing slightly hooked the corners of his mouth at this time, which made Zaotome feel bad foreboding!

Huh? How is it possible... This is already a recipe that brings together the wisdom of all of us, the practicalization of fantasy cooking that I am best at, the meat cooking of senior sister Yu Mei, and the molecular cooking of senior sister Alice...

Made by Erina-sama himself, everything from taste to symbolic meaning is perfect. Why can he still laugh after tasting Erina-sama's manga meat? Saotome romantically questioned in her heart.

And Rei Kawashima's voice also rang out at this time: It seems that the judges are very satisfied with Ms. Erina's 'manga meat'. In a blink of an eye, even Professor Shiomi's plate has only bones left. ...

Tch! Why are you emphasizing others? Do you treat me like a child? I, I can eat two bowls of rice in one meal! Xi Jianjun muttered unhappily.

At the same time, the three judges have also discussed at this time. Although they haven't tasted Liu Maoxing's cooking, but don't forget, their purpose is to review the increase or decrease of the Manga Cuisine Research Institute funding!

The three of them soon reached an agreement, but they didn't announce it right away, but after tasting Liu Maoxing's cooking!

Immediately, Liu Maoxing also sent the five manga meat, which was obviously larger than Erina's comic meat, to the judges on a trolley. I can't believe that Liu Maoxing is still so confident at this time...

Liu Maoxing's manga meat is obviously different from Erina's, in addition to the overall size, the shape is also different. Erina's manga meat bones have joints exposed on both sides, while Liu Maoxing's is Only one end of the joint is exposed.

And there are no other sauces or decorations, just such a monotonous-looking manga meat is placed on the plate, and the meat part should be more round, unlike Erina's manga meat which tends to be more Flat, so it doesn't look like you can eat it with a knife and fork...

Everyone, please pick up one end of the bone, and then eat it! Liu Maoxing said.

When Erina was wondering why Liu Maoxing made this kind of food that required such a rough tasting method, Liu Maoxing turned to them and said, Do you know where you lost? That is 'manga meat', which is a symbol of boys' hot-blooded manga oh!
