The story of Shokugeki begins when Alice picks him up and brings him home

"Jess started."

Jesus put the flour on the chopping board, added yeast water and eggs, and started to knead the dough.

He had to knead the dough until it was perfect for fermentation. Although he didn't show as many special skills as Alice Nakiri, his foundation was solid.

Kneading the dough again and again was the result of hard practice in his youth. Although he behaves in a very arrogant manner now, Jesus was a very honest guy in his youth.

He is rigorous and conscientious in his work, and is almost the same as Tot. At that time, he was also named one of the top ten outstanding young chefs in the UK. At that time, because his childhood sweetheart liked to eat fish, he worked hard to study fish dishes, and then he became a top chef.

As for when this state began, Jess couldn't remember, maybe on the day his childhood sweetheart and his best brother got married, or maybe it was the boring life that continued day and night.

He might have died long ago.

What is alive in the world now is just his body.

After kneading the dough until it was basically shaped, Jesus punched the dough hard, making it stronger and more elastic, and seemed to be venting the anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know why, under the spotlight, he suddenly recalled this painful memory. Ten years have passed since that day...

"Ahhhh!"

Jessie's voice suddenly became louder, and his fists rained down on the dough, squeezing and deforming it continuously, and then returning it to its original state.

"Jess uses the power of his fists to beat the dough like crazy! This method can make the dough stronger and improve the taste of the bread. It is a very good dough kneading technique."

Having already witnessed Alice Nakiri's amazing dough kneading skills, the host seemed to lack interest in introducing Jesus's skills, even though they were also impressive.

Compared to Alice, the performance and effect of this dough kneading technique are far inferior!

Soon, the dough became flexible and elastic under Jesus' constant hammering, and then it was covered with a large bowl, allowing it to slowly expand in the dark.

Once the dough is done, all that’s left is cooking the burger patties.

As another signature dish of the [Nuoyu] restaurant, this dish is naturally of top grade, and it mainly uses flounder, shrimp, and cuttlefish.

Cut the flounder meat precisely and then marinate it with salt.

Remove the shrimp thread from the shrimp and beat it into shrimp paste. Add diced cuttlefish to enhance the taste. After simple seasoning, put it in the refrigerator to freeze and lock in the moisture.

Place the marinated flounder meat on the chopping board, squeeze the frozen shrimp paste and cuttlefish cubes on top with a piping bag, and fold it in half to form a wrapped shape.

In this way, a hamburger patty with a lot of secrets is ready.

Wrap the hamburger patties in plastic wrap to set them, and if this is the restaurant's signature dish, keep them in the refrigerator until they are completely set, then cut them into small pieces, place them on a plate filled with sauce, and garnish them with smoked eel emulsion to give them the final layer of flavor.

But now, looking at the flounder patties wrapped in the plastic bag, Jesus just left it in a cool place, and then started to prepare the outer layer of wrapping, which was usually made of breadcrumbs, but he wanted to do something different today!

Looking at Alice Nakiri, who was humming and making soup stock and processing sea bass with a leisurely expression on her face, the corners of Jesus' mouth curled up.

Do you think this little girl can beat him?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Betting on the dignity of a top chef, he will win this competition. He wants to show his senior brother that he, Jesus, is not a waste! He is a genius!

"Both sides use fish? That's a little surprising, but if they're both fish burgers, the comparison will be more obvious."

Touching the corner of her mouth with her fingers, looking at Alice Nakiri who was cooking leisurely, Chityo Natsume's expression was a little disappointed. She had performed so well just now, she thought this guy would give her another surprise.

Although the fish burger is not bad, it is still a little lacking and does not go beyond the scope of conventional cuisine. The taste should be similar.

"It's the same fish burger, but a burger with precise proportions is definitely better than one made based on the chef's experience. Such a large, high-precision machine is not just for show. Perhaps the essence of molecular cuisine is refined scientific cooking!"

Senpyo Orie said this, and it was obvious that she was more optimistic about Alice Nakiri. There was no other reason, but she had an inexplicable feeling that she would win.

And she seemed to trust her intuition.

"Keep watching. This competition is much more interesting than you think! Molecular cuisine is also more interesting than I thought."

Watching the two contestants cooking and hearing the discussion between the two sisters beside him, Lan Xi Jon's eyes flashed with brilliance from time to time. He felt that he had made the right decision to come to this competition.

Nothing related to that guy is simple!

How could the apprentice taught by such a talented chef be mediocre?

Lan Xi John thought so in his heart, and then looked at the preparation seat. Bai Yuan had been standing there since just now, like a wooden sculpture or stone statue.

Such perseverance...

Time passed by minute by minute, and the audience watched Jesus intently as his hamburger making was coming to an end.

The hamburger buns were already emitting a rich aroma from the oven, and at this moment he was frying fish fillets.

"What a nice smell, that... could it be?"

The rich fragrance in the air made Chityo Natsume raise her eyebrows in surprise, and her cheeks became rosy. This smell...

"Yes, it's persimmon. He was busy with it with a frying pan just now. Finally, he used a rolling pin to crush it into small pieces and wrapped it on the fried fish fillet."

Lanci John spoke at this moment, taking over what Chityo Natsuya was about to say.

I have to say that Jesus has a lot of ideas. Using persimmon seeds as a wrap for fried fish fillets has a very unique texture and taste.

I'm looking forward to the taste of this burger!

On the other side, Jessie's cooking table.

Quickly put the fish fillet covered with small pieces of persimmon seeds into the boiling oil pan. After it is slightly shaped, take it out and cool it down before frying it again.

This can ensure the crispness of the fish fillet, reduce its oil content, and enhance the color and aroma of the fish fillet.

"The temperature is just right, we can start assembling."

Looking at the fried orange fish fillet in front of him, Jess muttered to himself, then put it aside for later use.

At the same time, the oven made a "ding" sound, and the fresh hamburger buns reached the best temperature for baking. Jesus cut them in half with a knife, prepared the other ingredients, and began to assemble them.

First put a layer of lettuce on the bottom of the burger, and then put the fried fish fillet, tomato slices, pickle slices and onion rings in order.

In this way, a burger that looks delicious and looks substantial is ready! All that’s left is to repeat this process and make three servings.

"Please taste it, judges."

Looking at the old man in front of him who was smiling at him, Jesus subconsciously shrank his neck, somewhat afraid to look him in the eye.

After all, the chef in his restaurant once wanted to beat the old man. Fortunately, he didn't succeed in the end, otherwise it would have caused a huge misunderstanding.

The leader of the Nordic Cuisine Research Society was beaten by his chefs? Or was it a gang fight! This is a bit too abstract no matter how you look at it...

"This burger looks really good, especially the fried fish fillet in the middle. It looks so golden and appetizing!"

Reaching out and picking up the fish fillet burger in front of her, Chityo Natsume opened her red lips and took a bite. Then an endless taste burst out in her mouth, making the redness of her cheeks even more obvious.

Under the table, the straight white legs rubbed against each other slightly, and it seemed that a strange feeling was growing and rising from deep within the body.

“The hamburger buns are grilled to perfection, with a slightly crispy outer layer and an extremely soft texture inside. The golden fried fish fillet is delicate and juicy, and complements the slight chewiness of the persimmon seeds. Every bite is an ultimate temptation for the taste buds!

The deliciousness of the stuffed flounder, the delicateness of the shrimp, and the chewy texture of the cuttlefish are perfectly combined with the freshness and tenderness of the lettuce leaves, the sweet and sour taste of the tomato slices, and the slightly sour taste and crisp texture of the pickled cucumbers..."

The words flowed out of her mouth endlessly, and Chityo Natsume commented with an intoxicated look on her face, and even her breathing became heavier.

At this moment, she has closed her eyes, as if she has completely sunk into the delicious ocean of hamburgers!

"The purple onion rings are the finishing touch. They have a hint of sweetness in the spicy taste, which inspires the taste buds to have infinite reverie about burgers! Hmm..."

Senpyo Orie also had red cheeks, and she raised her head towards the sky, with the arches of her feet slightly curled up, obviously suppressing herself to the extreme.

If there were not a large number of audiences on the scene, they would definitely follow the most primitive desires in their hearts and make extremely seductive sounds.

But even so, they still couldn't control themselves at this moment. Their beautiful white legs moved back and forth under the table, and their whole bodies twisted and turned, looking very uncomfortable.

“A good dish, using flounder, shrimp and cuttlefish to form the core steak of the burger.

Each layer is processed individually. The shrimp and cuttlefish cubes are full of juice when you take a bite. Paired with the unique fragrance of bread and the freshness of vegetables, it is obvious that this is a carefully selected combination.

Especially the persimmon seeds wrapped around the fried fish fillet not only add a base flavor but also bring a different kind of crispiness, which is a good idea.”

Lanci Jon gave a fair evaluation that as a top chef, Jesus' professional level is unquestionable.

“The coating wraps the flounder steak, and the flavor is concentrated inside it. Because of the flavor of the persimmon seed itself, you can feel the ultimate deliciousness even in the coating!

In addition, there is also the sauce used in the burger, which is a combination of egg yolk salad sauce and sprouts! It perfectly coordinates the taste of fish steak and vegetables.

Adding salt and chopped sprouts, that is, pepper sprouts, to the egg yolk-colored salad sauce adds a refreshing touch to the fried fish fillet, reduces its greasiness, and creates an extremely elegant taste!

The crispy exterior has a creamy texture that whets your appetite!"

After disassembling the burger and analyzing it in depth, Chityo Natsume exhaled a breath of hot air and spoke a lot of comments. Among them, the taste of the fried fish fillet was the most outstanding, so it was also the object of her evaluation.

"The kakitane tightly wrapped around the fresh flounder, it felt like a warm embrace of a pure mermaid! I have to say, it was a wonderful experience!"

Senpyo Orie followed closely behind. At this moment, she had been pulled into the illusion. The mermaid's hot embrace made her feel as if she was going to drown here!

Panting, heavy gasps of breath, accompanied by an intense feeling of comfort, Chityo Natsume and Chityo Orie clamped their legs tightly together, as if they had reached some kind of critical point, but because of the presence of the audience and the camera filming, they could only grit their teeth and remain silent.

"Two of the three judges gave him extremely high praise. He is truly a top-notch chef! This dish looks delicious just by looking at it!"

"That fried fish fillet seems to be the signature dish of the [No Fish] restaurant. I've eaten it once before, but it's different from the signature small piece. This one looks so domineering, and it also has persimmon seeds added to it. I wonder what it tastes like!"

In the audience, everyone was drooling as they watched the enlarged fish burger on the big screen. If there was one downside to the food channel, it was that you could only see it but not eat it!

"It seems that I won this food battle."

Looking at the reactions of Chityo Natsume and Chityo Orie, the corners of Jesus' mouth rose slightly.

The judges have now been captivated by the delicious food he prepared. From now on, as long as Alice’s food is not too delicious, it will be better than his.

This is what is called the first-mover advantage!

"It's too early to be complacent now. I came here with Brother Bai Yuan's belief, so I can't lose this game!"

As he passed by Jesus, Alice Nakiri happened to hear him mumbling to himself, so she responded in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

As she spoke, she looked up in the direction of Bai Yuan, smiled confidently at him, and then strode towards the judges' seats.

"What kind of burgers did you bring?"

Looking at Alice Nakiri, who was pretending to be mysterious and covering the dish with a silver lid, the three judges all had varying degrees of anticipation on their faces.

Especially Lan Xi Jon, because of Bai Yuan, he is naturally more confident about Alice. This is what is called loving someone and loving everyone in them.

That day, Bai Yuan's shock to him was so strong that it seemed to transcend dimensions! Although he had seen luminous-level dishes before, he had never seen such a combination of ingredients, and he could rely on his powerful cooking skills to make luminous-level dishes.

He is so amazing, he doesn't even seem to be from this world!

"Please try this molecular umami burger."

After opening the lid of the dish, Alice Nakiri raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation to the three judges in front of her.

Her face was full of confidence. She used everything she had learned during this period to make this hamburger dish!

"Molecular umami burger?"

Looking at the golden hamburger in front of me, it doesn’t look special from the outside. It’s just an ordinary hamburger, and it doesn’t even emit a strong aroma.

but...

She slightly opened her red lips and took a bite. The rich taste instantly spread from her tongue, making Chitora Natsume and Chitora Orie's eyes widen.

Even Lancey John, who had been extremely calm in the face of Jessie's cooking, was now extremely excited.

"This is...!"

The fresh taste left the two sisters no time to comment. They just bit the food madly with intoxicated looks on their faces, one bite after another, unwilling to stop.

"The burger bun has a crispy crust and a soft interior with air bubbles. This kind of bread can not only better absorb and set off the flavor of the patty and sauce, but also make people unable to stop eating. How is it done?"

After a while, after eating most of the burger in her hand, Senpyo Orie forced herself to stop the desire to continue eating. She raised her head and asked Nakiri Alice curiously. She really didn't know how this was done.

While keeping the burger crispy, there are still dense bubbles inside! And...

She pressed down hard on the bread with her fingers, and it unexpectedly bounced back like a sponge, maintaining its original shape no matter how hard she kneaded it.

“I add emulsifiers and enzymes that change the texture and mouthfeel of the dough, creating bread with a subtle bubble structure and special elasticity.

In addition, I use vacuum baking when baking these breads. This method can reduce the evaporation of water in the dough, making the bread crust crispier and the inside soft and moist. "

Alice Nakiri stretched out a finger, pointed in the direction of the hamburger bun, and explained to the judges with a smile on her face.

And her voice, heard through the loudspeaker, made the audience look at each other in bewilderment.
