Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

After Bai Yuan's special training over this period, their basic skills and perspectives have greatly improved, so they can naturally see how formidable the people in front of them are.

"Although he's dressed a bit like a vampire, he's surprisingly powerful."

Erina Nakiri stated the conclusion.

The cooking is now in full swing.

"The ingredients here are quite complete. I was thinking that since I couldn't make shrimp and scrambled eggs, I would just make a simple scrambled egg dish. Now I can really unleash my creativity."

Looking at the ingredients in front of her, Wang Jing nodded in satisfaction. Then she selected seven or eight large shrimp, quickly removed their heads and shells, cut open their backs to remove the source of their fishy smell and the shrimp vein.

Add a little salt to the prepared shrimp, quickly mix them with your hands until they become sticky, then rinse them thoroughly under running water.

The most important thing about shrimp and scrambled eggs is the egg liquid; it should have a smooth, sizzling texture, which is why Wang Jing chose pasteurized eggs.

Add a pinch of salt, pepper, sesame oil, and a small amount of cornstarch to the eggs, and whisk quickly with chopsticks until well combined.

Add Shaoxing wine, pepper, and a little salt to the shrimp for a base flavor, then add cornstarch and mix well.

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the shrimp, and blanch them until they are about 70-80% cooked, since they will be stir-fried later. Then, remove them and put them directly into the beaten eggs.

Add a suitable amount of oil to the pan. Scrambled eggs must be cooked over low heat, using a pushing motion, which is extremely demanding on the chef's control of the heat.

"It smells so good, this must be shrimp and scrambled eggs in Chinese cuisine."

As the egg mixture and shrimp were added to the pot, a rich aroma immediately filled the air, attracting Erina Nakiri's attention and prompting her to get up and step forward.

"That's right, I made a more old version of shrimp and scrambled eggs, with some personal innovations. This dish requires a lot of oil to stir-fry, otherwise the eggs won't be fluffy."

When taking it out of the pan, you need to drain off some of the oil, otherwise it will be too greasy. But don't drain it too much, or it won't taste right.

Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's voice, Wang Jing simply drained the oil from the shrimp and scrambled eggs while explaining the process to her.

Shrimp and scrambled eggs may seem simple, but making it delicious requires a high level of skill in controlling the flame. It's a perfect dish for performance evaluation!

"It looks pretty good. It has a rich aroma and a golden color. It looks very appetizing. Let me try it and see how it tastes."

Looking at the shrimp and scrambled eggs served on a long plate in front of her, Erina Nakiri swallowed hard. Because Shirai was a Chinese cuisine teacher, she now had a special filter on Chinese food and was more inclined to prefer it.

"Please taste it."

After wiping her hands clean with a wet wipe, Wang Jing smiled and gestured for Nakiri Erina to proceed, then confidently stood aside to await the result.

"Fei Sha."

"Lady Erina, here you go."

Seeing Erina Nakiri extend her hand to her, Hisako Shinoto handed over the chopsticks she had prepared beforehand. After taking the chopsticks, Erina focused her attention on the shrimp in the shrimp and scrambled eggs dish.

Using her chopsticks, Erina Nakiri picked up a piece of shrimp, simultaneously stirring the semi-solidified scrambled egg in its scrambled state. Without much hesitation, she put it into her mouth and then closed her eyes to savor it.

The yolk of a pasteurized egg is smoother than that of a regular egg, with a slightly salty and spicy aroma, the spiciness of pepper, and the fragrance of sesame oil. These flavors intertwine in the mouth, creating a taste that is both refreshing and mellow.

"The egg mixture maintains just the right tenderness during the cooking process, and you can feel the sizzling texture in every bite. It is neither too raw nor too tough. This is the ultimate control of the heat."

The shrimp are deveined, shelled, and headless, preserving their freshest and whitest flesh.

Seasoned with Shaoxing wine and pepper, they exuded an enticing seafood aroma, perfectly complementing the flavor of the eggs.

Feeling the bouncy texture of the shrimp and the softness of the egg, Erina Nakiri's face was full of enjoyment. This perfect feeling was simply wonderful!

The firm and elastic shrimp contrasts sharply with the smooth egg liquid, creating a distinct layered texture when tasted.

“This feeling…”

She closed her eyes again, the flavors of the dish spreading in her mouth. At that moment, she felt as if she were no longer in the exam room, but had been transported to the seaside.

At dawn, the sun slowly rises from the sea, and the golden sunlight shines on the sparkling sea, creating an extremely beautiful scene.

The shrimp meat is as vibrant as the rising sun, while the smooth egg liquid is as gentle and delicate as waves lapping against the beach.

The sea breeze ruffled her hair, making her squint comfortably.

"Yes, you are qualified."

Opening her eyes, Erina Nakiri looked at the girl in front of her with satisfaction, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

This shrimp and scrambled eggs dish is already at the level of a slightly inferior dish, but judging from the look on this guy's face, he doesn't seem to be taking it seriously at all.

"My work is finished too. Please come and have a taste, beautiful lady."

Ning Feng's voice rang out, and he immediately placed the golden-yellow, sweet-smelling crispy yellow vegetable in front of Nakiri Erina. The dish exuded an incredibly sweet aroma and smelled exceptionally tempting.

"Candied eggs? That's pretty good. It's a famous dish in Northeast China, often served at wedding banquets. The main ingredient is eggs, which fits the theme of this assessment quite well."

Looking at the dishes on the plate in front of him, Bai Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the chopsticks that Nakiri Erina had just used and began to taste them.

"Chief, when did you arrive!?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ning Feng turned his head, and a mixture of surprise and astonishment appeared on his face.

"I've been here the whole time. You were so focused on cooking that you didn't notice me, which is also a reflection of your concentration."

Blinking, Bai Yuan said jokingly.

That's true; he had indeed been here since just now, but these guys were all engrossed in cooking, and no one noticed him.

"Professor Bai Yuan, are you here for an inspection?"

Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Erina Nakiri asked with a hint of curiosity.

She had seen Bai Yuan earlier, but he had gestured for her and Hisako not to make a sound, so they hadn't called out to him.

However, given the current situation, it seems that Bai Yuan knows these examinees? Or perhaps these examinees were arranged by Teacher Bai Yuan himself.

This explains why their technology is so good.

"This isn't an inspection. I'm also one of the proctors this time, but you'll be the main one. I'll just observe from the sidelines and let you do as you see fit."

"Oh? You're also one of the examiners for this assessment?!"

Bai Yuan's voice wasn't loud. As he spoke, he put the crispy yellow vegetable into his mouth, and a look of enjoyment, the kind that only appears when tasting delicious sweets, appeared on his face.

"Desserts are indeed wonderful. This crispy yellow vegetable dish is made entirely of eggs, with only a little cornstarch added. It's pulled into strands with perfectly cooked syrup, and the taste is simply amazing. Eating it even improves my mood."

Savoring the taste, Bai Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration; the charm of sweets was perfectly demonstrated at this moment.

The crispy yellow vegetable dish has a rich egg flavor, perfectly showcasing the deliciousness of eggs.

"This dish, which looks like a sesame ball, is entirely made of eggs?! How does it puff up? Is it made like sesame balls...?"

Add an appropriate amount of cornstarch to the egg mixture and stir well with chopsticks.

Add plenty of oil to the pan and coat it with it. Then pour out the oil, leaving a little oil at the bottom. Remove the pan from the heat and use the residual heat to pour in half of the egg mixture. After the egg mixture has slightly solidified, fold it over and press it down with a spoon to form an egg pancake with both sides stacked together.

Cut the egg pancake into small, equal-sized diamond-shaped pieces, then deep-fry them in plenty of oil over low heat. Briefly toss them with the prepared sugar syrup, sprinkle with plenty of white sesame seeds, and the dish is complete.

Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's question, Hakugen briefly explained the principle.

Although this dish is simple to make, it perfectly captures the flavor of eggs. I must say, Ning Feng really knows how to stick to the topic.

"I see!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's explanation, Erina Nakiri showed a look of sudden realization.

Stack two omelets together, press them tightly, and then fry them in oil. They will indeed puff up quickly and become these little bulging balls.

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri looked at Hisako Shinoto, who immediately understood and prepared to get another pair of chopsticks, but then saw Shirai pick up a piece of crispy yellow vegetable and bring it to her mouth.

"Awoo."

Without much hesitation, Erina Nakiri opened her mouth and took a bite, savoring its sweet taste. Thinking that Bai Yuan had just used these chopsticks, a blush involuntarily appeared on her face.

"The egg's freshness is fully brought out, and you can feel the rich egg aroma in every bite."

Unlike a regular fried egg, it incorporates the delicate texture of cornstarch, making the omelet both soft and slightly chewy.

During the frying process, the egg pieces turn golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and smooth on the inside, creating a wonderful contrast between crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

With her God Tongue activated, Erina Nakiri savored the rich flavors of the dish, especially the intense aroma of eggs, and couldn't help but murmur softly.

"The final addition of syrup is the finishing touch to this dish."

The perfectly cooked syrup not only coats the crispy yellow vegetables with a crystal-clear sugar coating, but also brings a sweet but not cloying taste.

The sweetness of the syrup and the umami of the eggs intertwine and combine to create an indescribable harmonious beauty.

At the same time, the sweetness is enhanced by a subtle caramel aroma, which not only elevates the overall flavor but also adds an enticing color.

With her eyes closed, feeling the sweetness of caramel and the aroma of eggs linger on her tongue, Erina Nakiri's body trembled slightly.

The reason is simple: sweets taste amazing!

"Teacher Baiyuan is here, let me begin too."

Upon seeing Bai Yuan enter, Huang Mei's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, but she maintained her composure on the surface, preparing to give a good performance.

What dish are you planning to cook?

At this moment, in front of her cooking counter, there was a basket of eggs, a yellow croaker, and four salted duck eggs with the yellow yolks removed, which made Hisako Shinto, who was watching from the side, show a curious look.

"It will be kept secret for now."

After cracking four eggs into two bowls, Huang Mei said mysteriously that Bai Yuan had taught her how to make this dish, which was why she remembered it so well.

Just then, Bai Yuan walked over from not far away, and a subtle look appeared in his eyes as he looked at the ingredients that Huang Mei had prepared.

Huang Mei asked him out of curiosity if he liked the dish, and he casually replied that it was alright. He never expected that she would remember it to this day.

A feeling of being inexplicably moved welled up inside me.

"You're making crab-like dishes, right? I'm really looking forward to it."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yuan gave Huang Mei a gentle smile and praised her highly.

"I'll do my best!"

Hearing Bai Yuan's encouragement, Huang Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she excitedly agreed as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

"The aroma of salted duck egg yolk is so rich! You must have steamed salted egg yolks in your steamer. But our topic is eggs, so what are you using salted duck egg yolks for?"

On the other side, Erina Nakiri walked over, sniffing the fragrance in the air, her expression slightly puzzled. Their topic was eggs, not eggs.

"If she really makes a dish that goes off-topic, should we make an excuse to go easy on her later? She seems to be quite familiar with Teacher Baiyuan."

The thought crossed her mind: if the other party is familiar with Teacher Bai Yuan, she wouldn't mind giving Teacher Bai Yuan face.
