Chapter 291 The Failure of the Ten Heroes

In the world of cooking.

Every ingredient has its own unique story and cooking philosophy.

Sardines, a marine fish, are famous for their delicious meat. However, sardines are prone to death due to lack of oxygen due to dense transportation, so people put a catfish in it to stimulate its vitality. This is:

Catfish effect!

Although the authenticity of this effect remains to be verified, the deliciousness of sardines is unquestionable.

Let's talk about this catfish effect, is it credible or not?

Well!

It cannot be denied.

This fish, which belongs to the family Herringidae of the order Herringiformes, has particularly delicious meat!

…

"Are both sides ready?"

"Then I will now announce the official start of the first game of this joint team food battle. The time limit for this game is 1 hour, and the cooking theme is sardines."

At this moment, as the host Kawashima Rei's words fell, a cooking duel with sardines as the theme officially kicked off.

Alice and Eiyama Ezuya quickly plunged into the intense cooking.

Every move they made.

It can be seen that they are full of desire for victory.

After thousands of years of development, the ways of eating fish have become varied and numerous.

If fresh fish is not processed, it will easily rot and become inedible. Therefore, in order to extend the shelf life of fish as much as possible, people have come up with many methods from ancient times to the present, such as:

Put the fish in vinegar, salt, soy sauce or miso sauce to soak.

There are also ways to dry the fish in the sun or air to make dried fish.

"Then, let me start my show!"

Alice stared at the sardines on the chopping board for a few times, and couldn't help but take a deep breath to let her tense heart fall.

After that, she got busy, quickly grabbed the still alive sardine with one hand, and raised the kitchen knife with the other hand, and then swung the knife down neatly, directly cutting off the fish head.

Then, she continued to remove the scales of the sardines, cut open the belly of the fish, and took out the internal organs.

Finally, rinse it with water and wipe it dry.

Alice, who is good at molecular cuisine, has a poor understanding of traditional cooking, and even has only a "half-baked" level.

However, her performance now amazed many people present!

...

"Miss."

"In my impression, Alice doesn't seem to know how to use a kitchen knife, right?"

"But why is she so skilled in handling sardines now? Whether it's speed or strength, she has a very precise grasp!"

Seeing this, Feishazi couldn't help but cover her mouth and said in amazement.

"I was also surprised."

"Maybe she learned a lot from Zhang Fan at the izakaya?"

"Look at her knife skills in handling sardines, it can be said to be very fast, even I can hardly see the trace of the kitchen knife, and after some processing, the sardine on the chopping board doesn't seem to react at all, as if it didn't feel any pain."

Erina was stunned.

Obviously, she was also a little stunned by Alice's progress!

Finally, when everything was over, the sardines on the chopping board were shining under the light, with a faint glow!

Then.

An even more magical scene appeared.

The sardines that had just been cut actually began to wriggle slightly.

It might be because Alice's knife skills were very fast, so that the sardines did not react until this time.

And this scene made many people dumbfounded!

...

Ignoring the eyes of others.

Alice continued to stretch her fingers between the bones and the fish, and then spread her thumbs to the left and right, moving them in parallel to further expand the fish body.

Then, she grabbed the spine on one side of the fish head with her right hand.

Then, she used the thumb and index finger of her left hand to grab the fish spine, and pulled it from the head to the tail until the tail. The pulled fish spine can be cut off together with the tail!

From beginning to end.

This deboning action can be said to be very smooth, without any delay!

Next, Alice continued to chop the fish meat finely with a kitchen knife.

"Hmm?"

"This style doesn't look like Alice's."

Si Yingshi, who had done a lot of research on this group of freshmen, couldn't help but flash his eyes and felt a little surprised.

But he was not too surprised, and quickly turned his attention to Eiyama Ezuya.

I saw that the dish made by Eiyama Ezuya was:

Sardine sushi!

"Sushi? Sardines?"

Si Yingshi blinked, and then thought of something.

Fresh sardines are delicious whether eaten raw or grilled.

But sardines themselves are not easy to keep fresh, so few restaurants introduce them, and it is difficult to see them in Japanese cuisine that focuses on the original taste of ingredients!

However, at this time, Eiyama Ezuya actually chose to use sardines to make sushi. Such a choice and process can prove that as one of the top ten, he does have the ability to make a rare sardine sushi dish!

...

Time passed quickly.

Alice Nakiri's cooking has come to an end.

I only saw her pouring oil into the wok, heating it, placing the ingredients in the pan, frying over low heat, turning over after frying until brown, covering the pan, and simmering for 3 minutes.

Finally, just wait until the ingredients are cooked.

A closer look revealed that what she was making was a sardine burger, and the patty of the burger was made from minced sardine meat.

After careful processing, the flesh of sardines has become delicate and elastic.

And during the frying process.

The deliciousness of the fish is also completely locked in.

The surface of the meatloaf is fried to a golden crisp, but the inside remains tender and juicy. It can be seen that Alice has skillfully controlled the heat, so that the meatloaf forms a delicious crispy layer during the frying process, adding a layer of texture. .

Finally, paired with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions, it adds a touch of freshness to the entire burger.

Overall, the sardine burger is amazing!

At the same time, this sardine burger is wrapped in green sauce and has the flavor of fennel, and it seems that you can feel a strong elasticity just by touching the burger lightly.

right.

What she makes is traditional burgers.

But in it, she still maintains her best skills in molecular cuisine, and has some creative and interesting ideas.

…

"My cooking is done."

Alice took out all the prepared sardine burgers, and then said calmly: "So, where is the judge in charge of this alliance's eating halberds?"

There was confidence in her tone and a bit of expectation in her eyes.

She knew that this was not just a competition, but also a stage for her to showcase her cooking talents.

Seeing Alice finishing the cooking first, Kawashima Rei hurriedly came on stage, holding the microphone tightly and said: "Now we will enter the judging stage. Welcome to the three judges, Instervall, Chalmer, and Lantabi!"

"Why?"

"Aren't these people all executives of the WGO Food Organization?"

When Erina heard this, she couldn't help but feel unbelievable.

…

As everyone knows.

WGO, a gourmet food rating organization, is awe-inspiring to all chefs around the world.

As for the Alliance Shokugeki's promotion exam, these executives were actually asked to serve as judges, and such a result was definitely not what Erina could have imagined.

For a while.

The atmosphere of the entire competition venue began to change from lively to peaceful!

Everyone gradually held their breath. They just kept looking at the judges who had just appeared and chose to remain silent.

"Sardine burger?"

"I thought that in Totsuki after the coup, there would be something worth looking forward to for the WGO Food Organization in this United Shogun Competition."

"In the end...I think we may have thought too much!"

Executive Chalmers, who had a gentlemanly demeanor, looked at Alice's sardine burger and felt depressed.

Then, he could only reluctantly take the burger, put it next to his nose and smell it.

Unexpectedly.

A strong smell of fish.

It went straight to his nose, which caught him off guard and shocked him even more.

"This scent..."

So, he couldn't help but take a bite.

The delicious taste spreads from your mouth in an instant.

The taste of this hamburger seemed to be beyond Chalmei's expectation, so he stopped for a moment, his face a little confused.

Then, his eyes were full of greed, and he continued to eat hungrily.

…

Take every bite.

The taste of the hamburger was deeply remembered in An's mind.

It is no exaggeration to say that this taste will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. It has a piece of bread on the outside, lettuce, sardines and some radishes inside. There is a layer of yogurt on the top of the lettuce, and a layer of jam on the bottom of the sardines. .

Of course, the bottom layer is still a layer of bread.

As for the unique shape of this burger, let alone Chalmers, this was the first time for everyone present to see it.

If:

That ordinary burger on the roadside is "industrial beer".

So, the sardine burger made by Alice Nakiri can be called "craft beer".

The mouth still has the unique sweetness of sardines, and it is also paired with lettuce, carrots and a few other vegetables to enhance the flavor.

So much so that when you eat it.

There is no fishy smell like sardines at all, and more of that indescribable sweetness!

So until the end, Chalmert unknowingly finished all of Alice's sardine burger.

…

The unique flavor of the bamboo charcoal skin.

The sardine patty was tender and juicy.

The freshness and crunch of the vegetables.

The rich aroma of secret sauce.

A subtle anise flavor from the green sauce.

Finally, there is the crispy texture of the burger embryo and the natural saltiness of the sea salt.

In every part, you can feel that Alice has been carefully designed and matched. It is not just a simple burger dish, but also an attitude towards cooking.

“To make a delicious burger, the quality of the burger embryo is very important.”

"A very soft bun used to make burger buns will directly affect the taste of the entire burger."

After a pause, Chalmei's eyes were filled with curiosity: "Can you tell me? How do you make this kind of bread so soft?"

"Simple."

Alice smiled and said, "Just control the moisture, dough temperature and mixing time."

"that's it?"

Hearing this, Chalmers was stunned for a moment.

He had never thought that the answer to this seemingly complicated question was so simple!

…

"Well, it is indeed a rare burger!"

Instwal, who was next to him, also praised: "In addition to the traditional sardine patties, the second layer of the bun is also coated with butter, mustard, and tomatoes, and then onions, vegetables, pickles and other foods are sandwiched."

"In this way, a burger includes staple and side dishes, and the nutrition is more balanced."

Then.

Alice's dish.

Amidst the exclamations, it was eaten by all three judges.

Then after waiting for a while, the three judges, Instwal, Chalmers, and Rantaby, finally waited for Eizun's dish, sardine sushi!

Japanese cuisine has always emphasized freshness.

Whether you are eating sashimi or sushi, the control of ingredients and temperature is very important. Only in this way can you have the best taste!

However.

There are hundreds of kinds of fish in the world.

So, what fish is delicious and worth it?

Many people always shy away from fish with a "fishy smell", and often think that fishy smell means it is not fresh.

But in fact, think about it, the special smell of fish also represents the freshness of the ocean, especially for sardines.

…

The finished sardine sushi lies quietly on the exquisite porcelain plate.

The pink color of the fish meat forms a sharp contrast with the ivory white of the rice, and the visual effect is pleasing to the eye.

Each piece of fish meat is just right on the rice ball, which not only shows the freshness of the sardine, but also does not make it too heavy, maintaining the light taste of the sushi.

The freshness of the fish meat, the softness of the rice, the spiciness of the mustard, and the salty freshness of the soy sauce, all the flavors reach a perfect harmony at this moment.

Chalmers, a slight bite, melts in the mouth immediately.

And the sudden taste is quite intoxicating. Although the taste is a little lighter, it is not a big deal.

Its taste can be described in one word:

tender.

The fat and taste are balanced. A closer look reveals that the sardines are extremely fresh and have no tendons.

Obviously, this is because Eiyama Ezuya handled it very well and the degree of doneness was also good!

The fish is fresh and tender.

The rice is soft and glutinous.

The mustard is spicy.

The soy sauce is salty and fresh.

All the flavors are in perfect harmony at this moment.

…

Although both dishes use sardines, one is a hamburger and the other is sushi.

The deliciousness of sushi.

When you taste it carefully, you will feel that it is full of connotation.

The appearance of the hamburger is full of roundness.

But no matter what, these two dishes with sardines as the main ingredients are both impressive.

"Then, let's announce the results."

Chalmé first communicated with the two judges next to him, and then the result of this joint team food battle came out:

2:1

Alice, with a weak advantage, narrowly defeated Eiyama Ezuya! (End of this chapter)
