Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

Senzaemon holds the highest position in the Japanese culinary world.

His judgments and decisions often sway the entire culinary world.

thus.

I want to satisfy him with my cooking.

This is extremely difficult for most chefs!

Chapter 64 What is Real Cooking?

soon.

One after another, exquisite dishes were presented to the commander-in-chief.

"Oh?"

"It's interesting!"

The commander-in-chief, carefully examining the small plate of cod roe in front of him, couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise in his eyes.

This dish uses a deep-frying method, but it is quite different from the common tempura.

To know.

French and Japanese cuisine.

There are definitely significant differences in their cooking philosophies.

The former focuses on the wonderful chemical reactions that occur when ingredients are paired, pursuing a collision and fusion of flavors. The latter, on the other hand, emphasizes the high quality of the ingredients themselves and just the right amount of seasoning, striving to bring out the most authentic taste of the ingredients.

Therefore, these two fried eggs themselves demonstrate Ye Chen's superb culinary skills.

The key is the thick "paste" at the bottom, which is made by mixing lily root with wasabi and mandarin oranges, and sprinkled with mullet roe powder, creating a pure Japanese-style combination with French cooking.

Ah!

If.

According to the philosophy of Japanese chefs.

If the ingredients are good enough, a piece of beef with salt is enough to bring out its original flavor.

However, such a simple approach completely deviates from the French cuisine's pursuit of rich layers and complex combinations.

And it is quite obvious.

The choice between these two.

Ye Chen's grasp of the situation was extremely precise and perfect!

……

Subsequently.

Let's turn our attention to the cod milt.

There was an ingredient that looked exactly like mango flesh, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a half-cooked egg yolk.

The semi-cooked egg yolk has a delicate and silky texture, like solidified cream. The combination of eggs and chicken is ingenious and has a flavor reminiscent of another version of oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl).

At last.

That's clam chowder.

A light sip washes away the lingering chill.

"It truly lives up to its reputation."

"These dishes have shown me the importance of maintaining the orthodoxy of cuisine and exploring the potential of ingredients."

The commander-in-chief, who had swallowed hard and was quite satisfied, exclaimed in amazement.

In his heart, truly delicious food should be like the dishes Ye Chen makes. If you want to be unrestrained, you can't be confined to the framework of a certain dish!

……

"Ye Chen, right?"

"Your cooking skills are truly impressive. I'm curious which culinary academy you studied at?"

Finally, the commander-in-chief came to his senses and couldn't help but look at Ye Chen and ask.

"Ok?"

"Chaliao Cuisine School?"

Ye Chen was slightly puzzled, then shook his head and replied, "I've never been to any professional culinary institutions in my life to learn and receive systematic education!"

His answer surprised the commander-in-chief once again.

"then you……"

“My family used to run a hotel, and when I was six years old, I would often go there to help out when I had free time,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

"I see."

"It seems you've suffered quite a bit!"

The commander-in-chief suddenly realized something, and his opinion of Ye Chen deepened even further.

……

The teaching methods of Totsuki Academy.

The only phrase we've ever used is "elite education," with the aim of cultivating the best chefs.

In nature, it should be similar to a "research institute" of a university in China, rather than an ordinary cooking training institution.

In short.

Right from the start.

Totsuki is not for the purpose of mass education!

This educational approach, though extreme, is actually quite realistic.

Although both are culinary academies, Totsuki Culinary Academy's evaluation method is based on whether students can become excellent chefs in the future, thus training and honing students at the same time.

Some people might find it hard to accept being eliminated for some minor reasons.

But that's how society will be in the future; everyone could still be eliminated because of a small mistake!

……

of course.

Geniuses are, after all, a minority.

Most people are just ordinary, so there aren't that many people who are creative or talented.

If you don't have the ability, then you can only create "garbage dishes" if you try to do it at will. But being able to learn how top chefs cook is actually a blessing for students of average talent!

For example:

Why is KFC able to have branches all over the world?

The answer is its streamlined operation.

Therefore, from this perspective, the other extreme educational policy promoted by Azami Nakiri is also feasible!

The problem with Azami Nakiri is not with the education system, but with his complete imposition of his views on others, making it impossible for anyone to go against his wishes and ideals.

In his eyes.

Everyone in the world who doesn't know how to eat proper food goes to eat KFC, which has the same flavor.

If the chef's shop doesn't serve KFC flavors, it will be forcibly demolished and replaced with KFC.

thus.

Such an approach.

This naturally led to his ultimate tragedy!

……

What do you think of my granddaughter, Erina?

After gathering his thoughts, the commander-in-chief's eyes flickered, and he asked Ye Chen again.

Ye Chen was startled and stared in astonishment at Commander-in-Chief Nakiri Senzaemon. Finally, he understood and said, "She's very greedy. She just had a meal here last night, and she's been waiting outside the door since early this morning, just waiting for me to make her breakfast!"

"Hahaha……"

The commander-in-chief couldn't help but laugh.

"She has the tongue of God, and she doesn't even look at ordinary dishes."

"Back in Japan, Yosuke Imada, a three-star chef recognized by the WGO, once went to great lengths to make a salmon roe gunkan sushi."

"result."

"Such exquisite and stunning cuisine."

"Yet before the Tongue of God, they were utterly worthless!"
