After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"The yellow bell peppers should be roasted for 25 minutes!"

"The flavor-enhancing spices need to be added in the last minute and twenty seconds!"

"The sauce needs to be simmered for another 28 minutes and 10 seconds, which is the same as the optimal simmering time for the ingredients!"

"Very good, everything is going according to plan..."

Lu Xuanyu had no interest in such complicated matters.

He was now completely absorbed in cooking, determined to produce an absolutely perfect dish to defeat Shinomiya Kojiro.

at the same time.

Kojiro Shinomiya's cooking station.

The initial processing of the ingredients has already been completed skillfully.

As one of the most famous "casserole dishes" in French cuisine.

Kasulai is definitely the most difficult dish to make in terms of ingredient selection and cooking time control.

Even choosing the right clay pot is a challenge.

Different sizes, thicknesses, and materials of earthenware pots will affect the heat and cooking time of stewing.

The availability of casseroles at the Far Moon Resort is even more random.

What's tested is the chef's experience in adapting to the ingredients!

After resolving the equipment issues, the next step is to have a discerning eye for selecting ingredients.

Sausage, chicken, pork belly, lamb, duck...

There are many types of meat to choose from, and the flavors they can be cooked in are naturally quite different.

Different chefs will have different answers regarding which ingredients to use and what kind of flavor atmosphere to create.

· ·····Requesting flowers····· ········

White hyacinth beans are one of the main ingredients in casserole dishes. In addition to the initial processing, it is also important to pay attention to the cooking time.

The most difficult step is timing the addition of spices and other seasonings!

Cooking this dish is inherently fraught with dangers and pitfalls.

To create something new, you need both bold and meticulous thinking.

Hey! Look!

"The Imperial Palace has started using a pan-frying pan..."

"This is an ingredient I've been preparing for pan-frying but haven't used yet—a confit duck leg!"

Guan Shouping reminded the other members of the judging panel.

Donato Wutongtian, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, analyzed the situation carefully:

"I rarely see Shinomiya cook French meat dishes in person."

"The choice of lamb, sausage, and smoked pork belly has brought the oil content of the casserole to the edge of the limit."

..... .... ....

"Normally...shouldn't we be considering how to reduce the greasiness?"

"Shinomiya actually wants to add confit duck legs!"

"How exactly can I reduce the fat content?"

"A terrifying choice, can you guess?"

In a logical analysis, doing so could easily push a strong flavor to another extreme.

If left unchecked, it will ruin the foundation of the entire dish in the latter half of the stewing process.

Dojima Gin approached the crowd, observing the scene before him, and said:

"The secret lies in the water used for stewing!"

"Shinomiya used frozen winter melon juice!"

"It seems that he had already planned to make Kasu casserole dishes before today."

"And we made preparations in advance, waiting for today to arrive!"

After Dojima Gin explained, everyone immediately understood the reason.

They started talking at once, each trying to say something.

"I see. If you prepare chilled winter melon juice in advance, and also choose low-fat meat from our company, you can indeed control the amount of oil to a great extent."

"Winter melon contains malonic acid, which can inhibit the greasy taste of fat mixing into the soup during the heating process."

"Yes, that's all true. Plus, winter melon is a food and medicine with a mild flavor and is rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, making it perfect for stewing."

"I didn't expect Shinomiya to have started preparing so early. He's been pretending not to care these past few days!"

"That's just how Shinomiya-senpai is. Even though she's worried to death, she doesn't dare to show it!"

"……"corpse.

More than an hour later.

Outside the restaurant, another uproar erupted.

"Shinomiya-senpai finished first!"

"Meat dishes should be stewed for a longer time."

"They actually finished even ahead of Xuan Yu!"

Hojo Miyoko said in shock.

"For the first half hour after the bell peppers started roasting, Xuan Yujun didn't rush into the stewing process at all."

"It seems like we've been waiting for the broth to simmer for quite a while, which has taken up a lot of time."

Megumi Tadokoro explained.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of dish Lord Xuan Yu will ultimately present!"

"After spending so much time, it's time to unveil the secrets of Shinomiya-senpai's Kasura Casserole!"

Alice moved even closer, wanting to get a clearer picture of the situation.

……

In front of the judges' panel.

Kojiro Shinomiya personally completed the final plating step for the five judges.

Even in terms of details and visual aesthetics, he strives for perfection.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy!"

Without saying anything more, Shinomiya Kojiro put down his plate and waited for his colleagues' tasting evaluation.

Without absolute confidence in one's cooking, it would be impossible to be so carefree.

At the same time, Shinomiya Kojiro looked towards Lu Xuanyu's stage.

Lu Xuanyu remained intently focused on the simmering temperature inside the pot.

They were not affected in the slightest by Kojiro Shinomiya.

"What on earth is this kid up to?"

"The cooking time for the Casu casserole should definitely be longer than that for the Provençal vegetable stew."

"Did he extend the simmering time for the broth?"

"If you focus too much on the flavor of the broth... kid, you're doomed to lose!"

As a master of French cuisine, Kojiro Shinomiya naturally knows that the most important part of Provençal vegetable stew is not just the broth.

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"..."

After eating Shinomiya Kojiro's dish in front of the judges' panel.

A delicious storm is sweeping through everyone's minds.

"Well!"

"This tastes like free-range chicken breast!"

"It is cut in half and a large amount of broth is stewed and blended into it."

"The ultimate savory and salty taste further enhances the richness of the free-range chicken!"
