Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Because they were quite far apart, the two sisters from the Pink family did not hear the discussion between the Nakiri sisters.

At this moment, Pink Flower came to stand in front of Erina Nakiri, her words revealing arrogance and absolute confidence in her own strength.

"If you can do it, then go for it!"

Upon hearing Pink Flower's threat, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

If making tough statements could turn them into reality, then the world would be teeming with powerful people, and there wouldn't be such a talent shortage as we see today.

What truly determines a chef's reputation and standing is always their culinary skills.

"It seems both sides are ready to go in this competition. So what follows is a real culinary showdown. Let's start drawing this round's theme!"

Seeing that both sides seemed to be getting heated, Mr. Lin, with an excited look on his face, grabbed the microphone and shouted excitedly.

next moment.

The giant screen in the sky began to change.

Countless culinary themes passed by, and everyone's attention was focused on the food, especially the two sisters from the Pink family, who were silently praying.

Desserts or pasta dishes.

At the very least, it's something that's somewhat related to these two things.

Otherwise, they won't be able to utilize their strengths, and their chances of winning the match will be even lower.

Although they had been arrogant and constantly provoking Erina and Alice, they were aware of their own abilities. Unless they had the perfect combination of timing, location, and support, it would be very difficult for them to defeat these two!

This is a clear difference in strength!

Chapter 422 Three-Potato Pudding VS Michelin Pudding

"Pudding, the theme of this match is pudding, and the match time is one hour!"

Looking at the topic displayed on the big screen, Mr. Lin spoke with great enthusiasm, but his eyes revealed a look of surprise, clearly not expecting this to be the theme.

A topic so small it's almost nonexistent, with virtually no room for choice.

That's how cooking competitions are.

Sometimes the subject matter is very broad, encompassing all kinds of cuisines; sometimes the subject matter is very narrow, limited to making improvements on existing things.

And this match right now is a perfect example.

It was supposed to be a dish made by two people in a competition, so it should have been much grander. However, the reality was that the subject matter was pitifully small, just a simple pudding.

It can be made with eggs, sugar, and fresh milk. Just mix them in the right proportions and it will be delicious. It's a dish that requires absolutely no skill.

"It seems that this competition will be decided soon. This kind of subject matter with few steps requires a high degree of precision in cooking."

Secondly, since it's a competition, simply making the traditional version of pudding won't work; that would be too ordinary.

In other words, within an hour, the goal is not only to make the pudding, but also to refine its flavor to a level that satisfies the judges.

Looking at the theme this time, Bai Yuan fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri are not particularly skilled at making desserts; in fact, it could be considered their weakness.

In contrast to them, the two pink sisters were overjoyed and even clapped their hands happily, clearly not expecting their dream to come true.

But thinking about it carefully, it's quite normal. Desserts are a large category in cooking, so the probability of getting one is not low. It can only be said that they were lucky.

As they say, Heaven is on my side!

Unfortunately, this time the theme is pudding, not a large dessert.

This extremely precise category is different from the cakes, breads, cookies, and cream puffs they usually make; it can only be considered a minor specialty.

However, compared to the Nakiri sisters' minor disadvantages, their minor advantages are already quite good. With the two combined, it's no exaggeration to say that they have a major advantage!

If we still can't win under these circumstances, then it truly comes down to a difference in raw strength.

"Alright, let's begin the competition. Contestants can choose their own ingredients from the ingredient warehouse. To ensure fairness, all ingredients for the dishes must be obtained from the ingredient warehouse."

As soon as the host, Mr. Lin, finished speaking, Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri sprang into action and headed towards the food storage area.

"Pink Flower, let's go too."

Pink Peach watched the backs of Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri, then turned to Pink Flower beside her and said something.

"Well, ordinary pudding is unlikely to beat the competition. I remember three years ago we developed a three-potato pudding that combines sweet potato, purple potato and yellow potato."

Pink Flower nodded slightly, then made her suggestion to bring out their three-potato pudding, which they had developed in earlier years, as the core of this competition.

"But it's only a semi-finished product, will it really work?"

Hearing Pink Flower's words, Pink Peach also remembered that when they were bored at home, they had a good harvest in the fields, so they developed the Three Sweet Potato Pudding using sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, and yellow sweet potatoes. She was both interested and hesitant.

She was exaggerating the quality of the semi-finished product; given the level of completion of that dish, serving it directly would probably not even qualify as a top-grade dish, especially since they hadn't made pudding in years.

"Whether it works or not, we have to go now. At worst, we can do more in one go. This competition lasts for an hour, which is enough for us."

Moreover, our capabilities are vastly different compared to a few years ago; even our first production could reach top-tier standards, so there's nothing to worry about.

Pink Flower spoke up excitedly, the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

After all, the foundation of this dish is fine; the rest is just adjusting the details during the preparation. As long as they can make a top-tier three-star dish, they will definitely win!

"That's right. We can just make more. Anyway, the competition provides an unlimited amount of materials. On-site research into cooking might also be a criterion for evaluation."

Lady Luck cannot always be on someone's side.

Every chef has weaknesses. The only way to quickly overcome these weaknesses is through continuous experimentation and making up for them with sheer volume.

However, there isn't much time to experiment right now. The one hour given by the organizers is just the limit for making the pudding.

This was only possible with the help of an ultra-low temperature freezer; otherwise, a dish like pudding would take at least three to five hours to prepare.

The main time is not spent making things, but waiting.

"Just take your time."

Seemingly noticing Pink Flower's nervousness, Pink Peach, as the older sister, couldn't help but offer words of comfort. Then, she looked into the distance, determined to win a victory for the Qingzhen Academy!

"Let me take the lead in this cooking session. For simpler dishes like this, my God Tongue can be of greater use."

As they walked into the ingredient room and were selecting ingredients, Erina Nakiri suddenly made a suggestion.

"Indeed, your God Tongue can play a greater role in making this relatively simple dish, so this match is in your hands."

Although she was keen to use a molecular gastronomy machine to complete the competition, since pudding and molecular gastronomy go quite well together, it was her trump card and she didn't want to use it so soon.

There are two rounds left after this match.

Before that, it's best to avoid making a big splash and keep a low profile so that people's attention won't be focused on her.

When facing a skilled opponent, you can also catch them off guard!

"Okay, let me think about what kind of pudding we should make for this match."

Looking at the dazzling array of ingredients in the ingredient storeroom, Erina Nakiri recalled many types of pudding, but none of them were particularly familiar to her.

And so he fell into hesitation.

"Perhaps you could try the traditional Danish Michelin pudding. For a while, Bai Yuan made it for me every day, and I was very impressed by its taste."

However, due to the high difficulty of preparation, and the fact that any mistake would result in a poorly made dish, many shops with subpar skills went out of business.

Beside her, Alice noticed that Erina Nakiri seemed hesitant, so she made a suggestion.

When she was little, she loved eating pudding for a while, so Bai Yuan would make it for her in various ways, including this Michelin pudding, which has the potential to become a luminous dish.

A dish can be featured in a competition.

The first thing they need is potential. After all, if a dish has a low ceiling, even if they do it to the best of their ability, it won't stand out.

Conversely, some dishes with complex preparation processes and high production thresholds will not taste too bad in the end, as long as no major problems occur.

They are either above the top grade or even worse than the third grade.

The Michelin pudding that Alice Nakiri ate was a Michelin pudding that, if successfully made, could at least reach the premium grade, which shows how difficult it was to produce.

However, for two master chefs...

Once you know the cooking method, replicating it isn't too difficult. The key is to level up, since the goal of this competition is to defeat your opponent.

If it were simply a matter of replicating a dish, they would have plenty of time to research and perfect it through repeated replication.

However, since it's a timed competition and the dish is one that I know very little about, I'll have to keep trying to get it to a high-star level.

"Judging from your expression, that Michelin pudding must taste pretty good. In that case, let's make that. But first, we need to check if we have any ingredients."

"Actually, the ingredients are very simple. You only need rice, milk, fresh cream, almonds and vanilla. The key is to control the balance of flavors."

Seeing that Erina Nakiri agreed to her suggestion, Alice Nakiri smiled and then told her what ingredients were needed to make Michelle Pudding.

"Controlling the balance of flavors? That's definitely my forte."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's introduction, Erina Nakiri's face revealed a confident expression. When it comes to controlling the balance of flavors, no one is more authoritative than God Tongue!

The only pity is that she had never eaten such dishes before, so her judgment of the taste of the dishes was only that they were delicious or not, and she could not truly recreate them.

However, this applies to cooking competitions.

It's not necessary to recreate the original flavor of the dish; as long as the dish tastes good, that's enough.

I just don't know what it tastes like...

I'll sneak a taste of one later.

Filled with anticipation, the two instructed the servants beside them to find the ingredients. As Alice Nakiri watched the servants come and go, many images of cooking appeared in her mind.

She was reminiscing, recalling what Bai Yuan had taught her.

Commonly known as, the master's flavor!

"It looks like it was just dug out of the ground; it's still covered in mud and looks very fresh."

Looking at the baskets of sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, yellow sweet potatoes, and other vegetables in the corner of the room, Fenhua couldn't help but sigh with delight.

Since they are all ingredients, the fresher the better.

"I estimate they've been here from the fields for no more than a day. Let's pick a few of the best ones to take back. I have a feeling we'll win big this time!"

Pink Peach nodded slightly, urging Pink Flower to pick a few good-looking ones, as the other party was very good at selecting ingredients.

The two sisters have different attribute points, which complement each other perfectly. That's why the Qingzhen Temple allows them to participate in team battles.
