Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

How much control must one have over the temperature?

Students at Songbei University watching the live stream could clearly feel the reporter's hands starting to tremble.

The entire live stream started shaking.

They could even hear the reporter swallowing.

Doesn't this look incredibly delicious?!

Chapter 121 I Want Them All

The fragrance swirled and permeated the entire venue.

The powerful aroma of A5 premium ingredients wafts straight into your nose.

The students spontaneously stood up, and the reporter's hands holding the camera began to tremble.

Luo Fei, who was originally sitting on the judges' panel, had already run over, his eyes full of surprise as he sniffed the air and gave his evaluation.

"Perfect fragrance!"

"It not only has a caramelized aroma, but also a sweet, saccharified aroma left on the surface after the saccharification process! I can even smell a nutty aroma..."

He took a deep breath, then stared at the piece of meat with fascination, his eyes filled with fervor: "It's perfect! It's grilled perfectly!"

"The inside of this piece of meat is cherry red, but the outer skin is crisp and thin, which not only looks very appealing, but also locks in the moisture of the beef!"

"This is completely different from the previous pectin shell! It's not only beautiful, but it also adds flavor to the beef!"

No wonder Songnan University insisted on having Xu Zhou as a specially recruited teacher.

Regarding this control over temperature.

This is absolutely genius-level!

...

Despite the surrounding praise.

But Xu Zhou continued to cook at his own leisurely pace.

But the core techniques I learned when I was learning this dish in the third cooking room echoed in my ears.

At temperatures between 100 and 120 degrees Celsius, the fat begins to melt, gradually creating a rich, oily texture as the fat penetrates the meat.

At temperatures between 150 and 180 degrees Celsius, the breakdown of fats produces a unique aroma.

Xu Zhou stared at the meat in front of him, pierced it with an iron skewer, and then calmly began to feel the temperature of the skewer with his lips, repeating the words that Rou Mei had said at the time.

"The beauty of this dish lies in maintaining not only the thin outer shell but also the temperature inside."

Under everyone's gaze, his eyes shone brightly: "Sixty-five degrees! Perfect!"

The piece of meat in front of me has reached the perfect temperature.

The fat and juices inside will reach the most perfect state of fusion.

...

After baking it to a perfect shape, Xu Zhou began to quickly demonstrate his knife skills.

The beef was quickly sliced, each slice resembling a flower petal, and arranged in three flower shapes on three separate plates.

A red dish, resembling a blooming flower, is now ready.

With its brownish-brown edges and cherry-red flesh, the meat is grilled until it exudes a rich, oily aroma, making the glistening slices of meat look incredibly appealing.

The people around were stunned.

When the students at Songbei Culinary Academy smelled this aroma, they felt their legs go weak.

Even though they were still students, they could tell which dish was the best just by smelling it and looking at its color.

This grilled meat is absolutely amazing!

These are not even on the same level.

Although both have brittle shells.

However, the crispy crust of Xu Zhou's dish clearly had a unique flavor that was integrated into the whole dish.

As for Roger's crispy shell on their side, it's just for the sake of looking pretty.

The key point is that she's not as pretty as Xu Zhou.

...

Fried rice cooks very quickly.

It's just rice fried with butter, lard, and minced garlic.

After tossing the pan a few times, the fried rice was ready.

"All right."

"My BBQ roti set meal is ready."

When the three dishes were served.

Xu Zhou gave everyone a plate of roasted meat, and when he saw Grandpa Jiang, he added, "This is exactly one plate, which costs 23,520 yuan."

"Why don't you guys discuss and decide on option A yourselves?"

There's no way I'm giving it away!

More than 20,000 yuan!

If I had to provide all the materials for every competition or event, I'd go broke!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yonghua was both amused and exasperated: "Fine, it's over 20,000 yuan. It's only right that the school reimburses it."

After saying that, he carefully picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and then his eyes lit up.

Luo Fei couldn't wait and picked up several slices at once and put them in his mouth.

After eating a slice of meat, the vice principal of Songbei College stared at it in disbelief.

Is this the kind of flavor that someone who has never studied cooking can make?

How is this possible!

...

When everyone saw the meat, they already guessed that it would be delicious.

But to their surprise, it was incredibly delicious!

Luo Fei's eyes widened, and like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he stuffed several more pieces of meat into his mouth.

Enjoy the sensation of the meaty aroma raging on your lips with your eyes closed.

The tip of the tongue gently touches the caramelized Maillard reaction crust on the surface of the meat.

It's softer than I expected.

You can taste a hint of sweetness and nutty flavor.

When you gently bite open the outer shell with your teeth, the temperature of the meat inside is exactly 65 degrees Celsius.

Once the shell breaks, the juice gushes out like a flood.

It's the rich flavor of the beef juices mixed with fat after the fat has completely permeated the beef, and it feels like your entire taste buds are being bombarded by an explosive burst of flavor.

It was incredibly delicious.

"good to eat!"

“This taste…”

Luo Fei's eyes were full of admiration, and he couldn't stop popping several more pieces into his mouth: "Genius! Genius!"

"Sirloin cuts are chewy, and A5 grade Wagyu beef can easily become tiresome if you eat it all the time."

"But you used the sirloin cut and cleverly used a quick searing method to melt the fat on the surface of the Wagyu beef into a caramelized crust, which not only enhanced the flavor but also locked in the juices."

Luo Fei felt as if he were enveloped in delicious slices of beef. The more he chewed, the more addictive the taste of the meat juices mixed with the fat and the texture of the beef became.

This is absolutely a genius idea!

Absolutely delicious!

...

When Jiang Yonghua tasted Xu Zhou's barbecue, he suddenly felt the impact of top-quality ingredients paired with top-quality craftsmanship.

It was a shocking sensation, as if all the nerves and senses were being impacted by magma.

Every bite is incredibly delicious.

"very!"

"In my heart, this dish deserves a perfect 10!"

Luo Fei, standing next to him, chimed in without hesitation: "I can't find any flaws in this dish, it's absolutely wonderful. The only downside... the rice isn't as amazing as the beef."

But it's still very delicious.

The beef was just amazing.

The rice dish actually seemed a bit cheaper.

He took a bite of beef, then a bite of rice. Every grain of rice was sautéed in butter and lard, with a hint of garlic. When he took the second bite of beef, he experienced a different blend of flavors.

The garlic flavor is washed away by the juices from each bite of beef, creating a perfect blend of meaty juices and oils that flows down your throat.

The perfect balance of sweetness, aroma, fat, and meatiness perfectly solves the problem of getting tired of eating too much A5 Wagyu beef.

...

Although Vice Principal Songbei didn't want Xu Zhou to win, there was nothing he could do.

If it were just a slight difference, he could help argue against it.

But the difference is more than just a little.

That difference is practically visible to the naked eye.

Thinking of this, he could only force a smile: "Teacher Xu is indeed very capable, this dish is delicious."

"Our school fully recognizes Ms. Xu's culinary skills during this exchange, and we are delighted that our partner school has gained such a professional specially recruited teacher."

He paused, then deliberately added, "It seems that Teacher Xu's skill level is no worse than that of the imperial chefs."

The winner is already obvious at this point.

The students of Songnan University had already cheered.

"Teacher Xu is the best!"

“It smells so good!”

"This barbecue is unbeatable! It's so delicious! It's absolutely invincible!"

Jiang Shulang, who had been recording the whole time with a camera, was stunned and immediately took out his phone to call his editor-in-chief.

Upset!

This is such a huge upset!

The top students are really amazing!

...

Lei Jie stared intently at the dish that Xu Zhou had completely devoured.

Then she saw her own dish that had been partially eaten and just couldn't believe it.

When I saw the leftover, cold scraps of food that Xu Zhou had cut on the baking tray, I ran over and took a bite.

"..."

The meat is in my mouth.

The beautiful dark brown surface not only has a caramelized aroma, but also a sweet taste when licked.

With just a gentle bite, the thin shell cracked open, and the locked-in beef juices overflowed into my mouth.
