Food Wars: Live Broadcast in the Prison of Food

Chapter 48: Poor hospitality!

After hearing this, Yang Che nodded to Soma Yukihira, smiled, and then spoke seriously.

"Although your intention is commendable, what will ultimately convince me is the taste of the food."

In response, Soma Yukihira just smiled faintly.

"Yukihira-ryu's special French snake frog legs, please enjoy!"

“This is my latest creation that combines what I have learned from my French cooking classes with the cuisine of my family’s restaurant.”

As he spoke, Soma Yukihira placed the tray in his hand on Yang Che's desk and opened the lid.

Without the cover of the lid, a thin wisp of white smoke rose.

The appearance looks pretty good. Six golden meatballs that look like large candies are arranged in a circle. A few strands of parsley are placed on the top of the meatballs to add a bit of green. It is worth mentioning that there is a bone handle protruding from the end of the meatball, which looks like a large lollipop. Soma Yukihira said that Yang Che could just grab it and eat it without chopsticks.

Upon hearing this, Yang Che grabbed the bone handle and picked it up. Although the meatball was still steaming, the temperature of the bone handle was not too hot. The meatball-shaped snake frog leg meat was well fixed without any shaking.

Yang Che took a bite.

Click!

The teeth break through the crispy golden shell.

The first thing you notice is the crispy texture that is completely different from the crust.

Fresh and tender!

Soft and sticky!

Immediately afterwards——

The flavor locked inside the meat bursts out!
Yang Che tasted the slightly spicy and refreshing flavor of the garlic, which was gradually released. Then the aroma of cream and the slight sour taste neutralized the flavors well.

The tender and delicate taste of snake frog meat combines well with this flavor.

Achieve the effect of one plus one plus one is greater than three!

Yang Che's eyes lit up!
He ate the whole meatball in one bite, and then kept moving his hands to pick up the remaining pieces of snake frog legs and finished them in two or three bites.

After finishing the meal, he silently savored the taste of the dish.

“Is this sour taste lemon juice?”

This light sour taste is undoubtedly the finishing touch of this dish, perfectly neutralizing the pungent garlic flavor and several other ingredients that Yang Che cannot name.

It's no wonder that he can't remember the names of these ingredients. On the one hand, he was not a chef before he traveled through time and knew nothing about cooking. He only knew how to eat. In the real world, there are probably only a few kinds of vegetable sauces that he can name. On the other hand, after traveling through the world of food captives, the dishes he eats do not use the most basic ingredients, and the taste and names are even more different.

However, even though he can't name them, it doesn't stop Soma Yukihira from matching them well.

"Mr. Gu Yue, did you figure it out? I only put a few drops of lemon juice in it. However, it is the key to blending the stimulating effect of the parsley and garlic."

Soma Yukihira briefly explained the process of this dish.

Among the many ideas for combining ingredients, he finally chose this French snake frog legs.

He also referred to what he had learned in the French cooking class since entering Totsuki. He imitated a famous dish in southern France, fried frog legs with parsley and garlic, and made his own improvements to create the Yukihira-ryu French snake frog legs with his own personal stamp.

One of the reasons for this choice is that the taste of snake frog meat is somewhat similar to frog meat, while also having some characteristics of snake meat, which combines the advantages of both.

After trying it, he found that the fragrance of parsley and the taste of minced garlic could well bring out the characteristics of the snake frog meat.

He first selected the meat from the inner thigh and trimmed it into a ball using a bone as the base.

Next, add salt and pepper to the snake frog legs to let the meat absorb the flavor. Then coat them with flour and put olive oil and butter in the pan to color them. Then add garlic and parsley, squeeze out a little lemon juice and continue to fry. The flour forms a golden coat that perfectly seals the flavor inside!

The difficulty lies in controlling the heat and how to perfectly match the taste of snake frog meat with the other ingredients. After all, there are many brands of olive oil, and the taste will be slightly different. These slight differences in cooking will be infinitely magnified in the final product after being matched with other ingredients.

How to try out the most suitable ingredients when using limited snake and frog meat is a difficult challenge that all the chefs present have to face. Fortunately, Soma Yukihira often experiments with his father to create unpalatable dishes that break the bottom line, and has accumulated a lot of experience.

Finally, the dish was completed.

"How is it, are you satisfied?"

Yang Che thought about it, nodded, and said with a smile:

"You've passed."

Soma Yukihira's Yukihira-style special snake frog leg has already exceeded his passing standard.

Although it was still far inferior to many dishes he had eaten in the prisoner-eating world, delicious was delicious after all. There was only a difference in degree and level between deliciousness and deliciousness. His evaluation of the dish itself would not be lowered just because he had eaten better dishes.

Moreover, the chefs in the food prisoner world have more high-end ingredients to match. If Soma Yukihira becomes familiar with more high-end ingredients, the dishes he makes may not be inferior to those in many star-rated restaurants he has eaten. It may even be possible to surpass the dishes in some star-rated restaurants. After all, his growth potential in the original work is also at its maximum.

Soma Yukihira smiled and took off the headscarf tied on his head. As the headscarf fluttered, he said his closing remarks after each customer had their meal.

"Poor hospitality!"

On the side, Nakiri Senzaemon stared at Yukihira Soma's happy smile and nodded slightly. Unexpectedly, the first dish served by Yukihira Soma was directly recognized by Mr. Gu Yue, who claimed to have a very picky taste.

"Seichiro, your child has grown up very well." He sighed silently in his heart.

Be it his philosophy of not keeping customers waiting for too long, his experience in becoming familiar with ingredients from another world in a short period of time, or the amazing dish he served, all of these made Nakiri Senzaemon's recognition of him deepen.

He also noticed that Soma Yukihira's cooking combination had actually failed many times, but he did not get discouraged. Instead, he became more and more excited and devoted after many failed attempts, and he always maintained his passion for cooking.

With this mentality, Nakiri Senzaemon believes that he will definitely grow into an excellent chef in the future.

But just after Yang Che announced that Soma Yukihira had passed, Si Yingshi, wearing a white shirt, elegantly walked forward carrying a dish and passed by Soma Yukihira.

His food was already ready at this time.

The moment he passed by, Soma Yukihira smelled a slight scent leaking from the upside-down plate. He froze in place and couldn't help but look back.

His eyes fell on the tray in Si Yingshi's hand, with surprise on his face.

"What is that smell?!"

Just by smelling it, he couldn't help but have an idea:
My confident work just now might be completely crushed.
