Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

The gaunt old man was quite perceptive about this.

In their time, it was not easy to learn a skill, so he cherished this opportunity and wanted to learn something real from Bai Yuan.

"Um..."

Nodding slightly in response, Bai Yuan walked up to the prepared pig. At that moment, countless people were watching, and their shocked discussions were endless.

"But my brain has become a bit dull. There's only so much tenderloin on a pig, so even if you can make deep-fried tenderloin, you can't make much."

Listening to the conversations around me, and looking at the local pig in front of me.

The next moment, Bai Yuan realized that he had overlooked something very important: the pork in front of him was not all tenderloin, and it could not all be made into deep-fried tenderloin.

A pig's tenderloin weighs about ten pounds. A couple of days ago, at his special request, the butcher scrambled to find meat and finally managed to gather two hundred pounds of pork tenderloin. His habitual thinking made him overlook the fact that there are actually quite a few types of meat on a pig.

"In that case, it's impossible for all ten stalls to sell deep-fried pork tenderloin. We need to develop some other pork dishes, and they must be snacks."

Upon understanding the current situation, Bai Yuan's mind quickly began to work.

"Pork shoulder can be used to make deep-fried meatballs, pork shoulder can be used to make honey-glazed char siu, and pork shank is also a good choice for teppanyaki..."

The names of various dishes floated through Bai Yuan's mind, some of which were accepted and others rejected.

Snacks are characterized by being made and eaten immediately, having a relatively simple form and variety, and being easy to make, so even ordinary people can quickly learn to make them at home.

What ordinary people can quickly master is even easier for Bai Yuan. He simply bent down and picked up the pork from the ground.

"boom--"

The pork was tossed into the air and then landed steadily on the cutting board, with only one piece falling in each area, each part clearly separated and not interfering with the others.

"Grandpa, could you please go to the market and buy some ingredients for me? I've written down the types and quantities you need on the list. I'll transfer the money to you after I finish my business today."

While it's called helping out, it's actually also a test.

If the other party is not conscientious in their work, then Bai Yuan will naturally not teach them with his heart, since teaching students is a very tiring thing.

"I understand. Don't worry about me handling this."

After receiving the list from Bai Yuan, the old man Fujino thumped his thin chest loudly before striding towards the market.

As a native of this place, he naturally knew where to buy cheap and fresh vegetables, and he also knew that this was a test given to him by Bai Yuan.

Regardless of his purpose, he had to do this well so that Bai Yuan would recognize his value and teach him everything he knew.

"Currently, we have four stalls selling deep-fried pork tenderloin, deep-fried meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, and braised pork knuckle. Once we have all the ingredients, we will set up the remaining stalls."

Looking at the guests who had been waiting for a long time, Bai Yuan stood in front of the longest queue and briefly explained the current situation.

"Understood. Anyway, when will it start selling?"

The customers at the front were excited; they had been standing there for over ten minutes, just for this one bite. Fortunately, Bai Yuan was finally about to start cooking!

"Now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuan raised his hand and slammed it on the chopping board.

The next moment, the pork tenderloin placed in front of the counter flew high into the sky, flashed with silver light, and the originally strip-shaped tenderloin instantly turned into slices of equal size.

The pork tenderloin was simply marinated with scallions, ginger, and water. One row of pork was served in ten bowls, and ten rows in a hundred bowls. Eggs were tossed into the air by Bai Yuan, and then the egg whites and yolks were separated.

The egg whites fall into the bucket, while the yolks separate and enter one bowl after another.

After mixing the pork tenderloin and egg yolk evenly, coat it with a layer of perfectly seasoned cornstarch batter, which is the ideal state for deep-frying.

Slices of pork tenderloin fall into the boiling oil, creating fine bubbles. The tenderloin then quickly expands and rises, releasing an enticing aroma.

"What a wonderful smell! I didn't join the wrong line!"

As the pork tenderloin was dropped into the oil, the people in line behind took a deep breath, their faces showing expressions of enjoyment and ecstasy.

"Indeed, the aroma alone is irresistible, making one want to rush over and kiss it. I wonder what the dish itself tastes like?!"

The person next to him swallowed hard, a strong sense of anticipation welling up inside him, as if he could already feel the profound deliciousness of the dish from afar.

"Indeed, this flavor is irresistible; it's simply impossible to resist!"

Others chimed in, but Bai Yuan ignored their cheers and instead focused his attention on another stall.

Silver chopsticks are used to pick up the pork, and a sharp blade cuts it quickly.

Half of it was pure fat, and the other half was pork shoulder. Bai Yuan used a sharp knife to cut both into granular minced meat in the air.

Add scallion, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorn water to the minced meat, along with three spoonfuls of salt, two spoonfuls of MSG, a little yellow soybean paste to enhance the savory flavor, and finally a large amount of starch.

Add starch in small amounts multiple times, stirring well after each addition before adding new starch. Continue until the surface turns slightly white before adding sesame oil.

"It looks almost done, but why does it feel like something's missing..."

Looking at the minced meat in front of him, Bai Yuan fell into a brief silence, then scooped up a small amount from the large bowl and gently sniffed it.

"The meat flavor is very rich, but it's a bit monotonous if it's just the meat flavor. So let's add some sesame seeds. Toasted sesame seeds should be perfect for this dish."

As if he had thought of something, Bai Yuan raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of roasted sesame seeds, mixed them into the minced meat and stirred them evenly, then picked them up again and held them to his nose.

"The oils in nuts can enhance the flavor of the meat itself, and that's it!"

Reach your hand into the bowl of minced meat, apply slight pressure with your thumb and forefinger, and one perfectly round meatball after another will be squeezed out.

"Zi La"

As the meatballs collided with the oil, they gradually turned golden. At this moment, Bai Yuan turned down the oil temperature, switching from high-temperature frying to low-heat simmering. The rich aroma spread in all directions.

"It smells so good! It's even better than deep-fried pork tenderloin, and in some ways even more tempting. I can't take it anymore, I have to go see what's going on!"

"You can't understand it by yourself, wait for me, take me with you!"

Looking at the golden-brown meatballs frying in the oil and smelling the incredibly rich aroma in the air, the customers at the back of the line for deep-fried pork tenderloin began to waver, and in the end, many chose to leave.

Among them were some people who had eaten deep-fried pork tenderloin, including the burly man who ate ten servings of deep-fried pork tenderloin in one go yesterday.

"You actually came here too."

Looking at the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him, Bai Yuan couldn't help but complain.

"Boss, you've launched a new dish, so of course I have to come and support you. Otherwise, how can I show my status as a loyal supporter?"

The burly man laughed heartily at this.

He was satisfied after eating deep-fried pork tenderloin in one go yesterday, and came here today just to check on Bai Yuan's condition. He didn't expect that the other party had come up with a new dish.

Now I have no choice but to try it.

The burly man seemed somewhat impatient as he watched Bai Yuan continuously scoop out meatballs and drop them into the new ones.

He wanted to reach out and take one to try, but he was a little embarrassed. Just as he finally made up his mind to speak, Bai Yuan picked up the fried meatballs in front of him.

Fry again over medium heat.

It can make the surface of the deep-fried meatballs crispier.

"Listen to this crunching sound, isn't it wonderful? Putting everything else aside, just the trio of hearing, sight, and smell is enough to whet your appetite!"

After the meatballs were fried again, Bai Yuan used a strainer to scoop them out of the oil and tossed them into the air, listening to the crisp, satisfying "crack" as they fell, his eyes filled with delight.

He's completely absorbed in the art of his cooking!

"That's right, the sound alone is enough to whet one's appetite! Not to mention the taste and the tempting appearance as well."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, the burly man burst into hearty laughter, his eyes fixed on the oil pot as he spoke, his longing intensifying.

If he hadn't retained a shred of reason, he would have definitely reached in and scooped out a few meatballs.

However, while he still had the strength to barely control himself, the burly young man behind him did not have such self-control.

His eyes were fixed on the oil, and his hand involuntarily reached for the oil. Just as it was about to touch the scalding hot oil and make a sizzling sound, he...

"roll!"

Seeing this, Bai Yuan gave a serious shout, which was imbued with a trace of true energy.

That one sound brought the man's eyes back to their clear state, and he subconsciously took a step back, a look of embarrassment flashing across his face.

"I'm sorry, I... I just couldn't resist the temptation."

"While it's understandable, if this happens again, no matter who it is, I ask you to leave. This place doesn't welcome people with bad manners."

Bai Yuan spoke indifferently.

No chef would be happy to be disturbed while cooking, and the fact that he has held back his temper until now shows remarkable composure.

"I promise I will never do it again!"

Such a conversation would never happen between a regular guest and the chef; in fact, guests might even leave or complain because of the chef's rude attitude.

but.

At this moment, none of the customers present were surprised when Bai Yuan said these things.

The reason for this is that his cooking skills are up to par, which supports all his claims.

Based on Bai Yuan's pig-slaughtering skills just now, everyone present had already tacitly agreed that he was an incredibly skilled chef, and that his dishes would be something they couldn't afford if they appeared in a high-end restaurant.

Given this situation and the long queues, Bai Yuan naturally had the capital to be arrogant. As long as he didn't humiliate them, these customers could generally tolerate his bad temper.

"Deep-fried meatballs are ready, and the price is the same as that of deep-fried pork tenderloin, 1000 yen."

Because he was too lazy to recalculate the price based on the ingredients, Shirabuchi sold the food for 1000 yen regardless of the price. The only thing affected was the portion size.

"Have some."

"Have a serving, let me try it and see what it's like!"

A cheerful sound rang out, and a faint look of longing appeared on everyone's faces. However, since Bai Yuan had just spoken, no one dared to make any rash moves that might offend him.

Bai Yuan looked at the orderly scene and showed an approving expression. This was the ideal relationship between chef and customer.

These guys just stood there patiently and waited, and the finished dish was naturally delivered to them.

Soon, the sale of deep-fried meatballs began. Each serving contained six meatballs, sprinkled with a thin layer of salt and pepper, and then handed to the burly man at the front.

Bai Yuan then went to the next stall and began making sweet and sour pork ribs and braised pork knuckle.

During this process, he also made deep-fried pork tenderloin and deep-fried meatballs at the same time, keeping himself busy like a spinning top.

as time flows.
