A roulette wheel appeared before Chao Ke's eyes, displaying various recipe illustrations, essential oils, and potions.

Chao Ke realized that these recipes should be the recipes that come with the game, as well as some version events and collaboration event recipes.

The roulette wheel pointer spun wildly at first, then slowly came to a stop, passing over several dishes in turn.

【Frostbite Essential Oil】, 【Gale Essential Oil】, 【Abundant Harvest】, the pointer of the roulette wheel eventually came to a stop in front of a grid.

[Intense Oil Fusion]

Chao Ke's eyes widened! If it's this thing, it's definitely a huge profit.

As the holder of the Grass Element Vision, and considering its effect in the game—a 25% increase in Grass damage for five minutes without any side effects—it's definitely a killer move.

But fate played a cruel trick, and the pointer on the roulette wheel swung again, heading towards the next area.

In the darkness, Chao Ke seemed to hear a cry from Kun.

[Draw complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a special recipe—(Crispy Pork Knuckle Burger)]

Chapter 3 Crispy Chicken Leg Burger

[Recipe: Crispy Pork Leg Burger]

[Description: A burger primarily made with poultry. A soft bun is sandwiched between a crispy poultry thigh and fresh vegetables. No need for cutlery; simply pick it up with your hands and enjoy the satisfying crunch.]

Now that you have the recipe, you can practice making this dish in the Chef's Trial Grounds.

[Shall we begin practicing?]

【whether】

Chao Ke was quite interested in this God of Cookery Trial Grounds. After glancing at the time on the bedroom clock, he selected the "yes" option.

Suddenly everything went black. When he opened his eyes again, Chao Ke found himself in a huge kitchen.

To his surprise, Chao Ke found that his body felt lighter than ever before, and the hidden injuries and the fatigue from excessive depletion of his life force seemed to have disappeared.

With a light and agile body, Chao Ke strolled through the kitchen, familiarizing himself with this so-called training ground for culinary masters.

In this culinary prowess training ground, all kinds of cooking utensils are readily available, whether it's frying, boiling, braising, stir-frying, stewing, roasting, or mixing, there are corresponding tools for everything.

In the kitchen sink area, Chao Ke also found a small cart filled with all sorts of ingredients needed to make the Crispy Chicken Leg Burger: flour, vegetables, chicken legs, butter, and various seasonings.

Moreover, as long as Chao Ke takes out an ingredient, the cart will be replenished with new ingredients.

Furthermore, there is a large screen on the kitchen wall displaying detailed steps for preparing the dishes.

"Is this the perk of getting recipes...?"

Chao Ke pondered that if he developed the recipes himself, he probably wouldn't have the chance to enter the God of Cookery Trial.

Since the system provided a space and free supplies for practicing the Crispy Kun Thigh Burger, Chao Ke, who was not lazy, immediately started trying it out.

First, we make the buns specifically for hamburgers.

Following the instructions on the screen, Chao Ke took high-gluten flour, butter, eggs, and some other ingredients.

According to the instructions, cold water is used to make the hamburger buns. Put the cold water, eggs, bread flour, sugar, salt, yeast and milk into the water and start mixing the flour.

Add the butter after the dough has been kneaded until it reaches about 50% gluten development.

Continue kneading. The dough with butter is very different; it feels much smoother. After kneading until it reaches 8.5 layers of gluten, take it out and sprinkle it with flour to make the dough smooth.

Then place the dough in a place with suitable temperature and humidity to begin fermentation.

While the dough was fermenting, Chao Ke was also busy.

Take the chicken leg out of the trolley and start processing. After deboning, the clean chicken leg meat is placed in a bowl. Add seasonings according to the proportions given in the recipe and start marinating.

After processing the chicken legs, the dough had almost finished fermenting, and the plump, white dough had doubled in size.

Chao Ke took the dough out of the plate and weighed it in his hand.

At this point, the dough is white and tender, with a hint of milky white resemblance to snowflakes.

Chao Ke took the initiative and divided it into smooth, round dough balls weighing about 80 grams each.

Keeping the temperature and humidity constant, let the dough rise again until it doubles in size. Then brush it with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. At this point, the dough is starting to resemble a hamburger bun.

After putting it in the oven to bake, Chao Ke casually prepared the fried chicken powder and breadcrumbs.

Ding Ding!

As soon as the oven finished baking, a rich aroma of bread wafted out the moment Chao Ke opened it.

The aroma of wheat, which should have been gentle, was now extremely aggressive, sweeping into Chao Ke's nasal cavity.

Chao Ke couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, then put on gloves and took out the baking tray.

On the baking tray, rows of golden, neatly arranged hamburger buns, their smooth, egg-yolk-colored crusts reflecting the light.

Seeing the golden brown top of the hamburger bun and the scattered sesame seeds, Chao Ke couldn't resist. Before the bun had cooled down, he grabbed one and put it in his mouth.

The egg-yolk yellow outer layer wraps around the soft bun, and the rich aroma of wheat and milk assaults the nose and taste buds. In just a few bites, the whole hamburger bun is gone.

Chao Ke said that the recipe provided by the system is really good. Even though he hasn't tasted KFC for more than ten years, he can definitely make a better hamburger bun than KFC.

Let alone adding a fried chicken thigh. Just selling this hamburger bun as bread would probably be enough to secure a place in Fontainebleau's culinary scene today.

Chao Ke was even more excited about the complete version of the Crispy Pork Leg Burger.

After coating the chicken leg meat with breadcrumbs, it was put into the oil. In no time, fried chicken legs with a golden and crispy crust were ready.

The chef slices the hamburger bun with a knife, places the lettuce, cheese slices and ham on top, squeezes on the sauce, and a whole crispy ham burger is born.

At the same time, an interface popped up in front of Chao Ke's eyes.

[Review: A decent dish, but the chicken thigh cutlet was overly seasoned, making it too salty in the mouth.]

[Review: The hamburger buns were not neatly arranged, affecting the appearance. The chicken thigh cuts were too thin and coated with too much flour, making them taste like bread sandwiched with fried dough.]

[Review: A very average dish. The egg wash on the bread dough wasn't brushed evenly enough, affecting the appearance. The chicken thigh was too bland and tasteless.]

Crispy Pork Leg Burger

【…】

Chao Ke made eight crispy hamburgers in a row, and each system gave a rating, but none of them were very high, with the highest being 68 points and the lowest being 46 points.

Looking at the system's evaluation, Chao Ke was also very unconvinced, believing that the hamburgers he made were not that bad.

I ate several bites in a row, and the taste was pretty good, not much worse than the KFC I had in my previous life.

But after trying all eight hamburgers, Chao Ke was convinced.

The system's standards are strict, but they are accurate; they do point out its own shortcomings.

Chao Ke was not one to ignore advice, especially since the errors pointed out by the system were real, so he immediately began to remake it.

With Chao Ke fully immersed in making the Crispy Pork Leg Burger, and with the precise guidance of the Chef God System, Chao Ke's burger-making skills improved rapidly.

[Review: The dish is decent, but the chicken thighs were fried for too long, resulting in less juice and a less tender texture.]

[Delicious Crispy Pork Leg Burger]

[Rating: 81 points]

[Review: An excellent dish. The chicken thigh steak is golden and plump, so tender you could practically squeeze juice out of it. Combined with the crisp vegetables and rich sauce, it's an unforgettable experience, making you feel like you're floating on clouds. The only flaw is that there was too much salad dressing, which slightly diminished the overall flavor of the chicken thigh steak.]

【The Ultimate Crispy Pork Leg Burger】

[Rating: 92 points]

[Review: A masterpiece, every step is perfectly executed. The only thing that could be improved is perhaps that profound understanding...]

When the review for "Ultimate Crispy Pork Leg Burger" appeared, Chao Ke stopped what he was doing and let out a long breath.

Looking at the territory of the God of Cookery's Trial Grounds, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This training ground is truly terrifying. Chao Ke, while inside, felt neither fatigue nor drowsiness, nor the passage of time.

It was as if an inexhaustible source of energy was nourishing Chao Ke's body, making it easy for him to get absorbed in what he was doing.

But unlimited energy doesn't mean the soul never gets bored.

Chao Ke abruptly stopped cooking, only to realize that he felt an extremely strong sense of weariness deep in his mind, and wanted to escape this place and truly rest.

[Does the host choose to leave the Culinary God Trial Grounds?]

【whether】

Following his heart, Chao Ke chose "yes".

After making the choice, the scenery before Chao Ke's eyes changed, and he was back in his bedroom.

Looking at the clock in the bedroom, the long training session that had taken place in the Chef God Trial Grounds hadn't even lasted a minute in reality.
