Chapter 297: Two Extreme Faces (Part 2)
Soul-Suppressing Face?
Hiro Akiyama tasted this name and recalled the feeling of nothingness when his soul drifted in the chaotic world when he ate noodles.
Looking back, I ate all the bowl of noodles in one breath. The wonderful state of relaxed and happy feeling, the anger disappeared, and only the peaceful breath was left in my chest, which made Hiro Akiyama fall into deep thought.
There are few cooking works that can awaken his food fantasy.
After all, with the improvement of cooking skills, chefs' tasting ability has also increased dramatically, not to mention that Chef Lin has a strong resistance to the so-called "drug", and the dishes that can really impress them are too few.
"Soul-Suppressing?"
Hiroshi Akiyama has his own actual feelings, but others have not eaten the food and are obviously very curious about the name.
"Why is it called Soul-Shenzhen?"
Kobayashi Gentian is curious and authentic.
"Because, this is a legendary pasta, which is said to make the angry emperor instantly relieve his anger..." Xia Yu said casually, "Just as Lord Akiyama said, in essence, this is a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and the flavor of vegetables accounts for a large proportion, which is also the key to its ultimate taste."
"Don't look at me using chicken bones and pig bones to make soup, but the second time I boiled it, the spice and vegetable buns in the cooking pot are the secret of this bowl of noodles with the ultimate soup-"
Xia Yu pointed to half a bowl of golden soup on the kitchen counter and said with a smile.
"Yes!"
“Spices are important!”
Hiroshi Akiyama continued: "The spice structure you gave to the soup is actually centered on 'mint'. If the taste buds did not deceive me, around this core, you added three spices: oregano, coriander seeds, and marjoram, highlighting the 'clean' and 'refresh' soup theme!"
Needless to say, mint is one of the three most widely used spices in the world.
Of course, Xia Yu uses not fresh tender mint that has just been picked from the branches, but mint powder that has been dried and ground into powder.
A little bit of mint powder can make the soup fragrant and refreshing.
But because of this, mint needs to be "limited" to other spices.
"Coriander seeds? Coriander seeds?"
Erina Nakiri's eyes read surprise.
Coriander seeds are also fragrant spices, with a lemon-like flavor.
"Morjoram!" Yisehui continued, "This is a spice commonly used in Western food. I didn't expect it to be used in pasta full of Chinese style! Incredible! The spice structure that transcends national boundaries!"
Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Marjoram, in fact, tastes similar to oregano grass, but the key point is that the dry marjoram has less prominent aroma and naturally carries a bitter taste, which can greatly relieve the mint. The 'refresh' taste created by coriander seeds and oregano grass makes the taste more relaxed and restrained."
In fact, this spice structure is a small improvement from Xia Yu.
The spice structure of the original "Soul-Suppressing Noodles" soup is not the case. Xia Yu read it with [Spice Inequality] and felt that there were many loopholes, so he naturally improved and optimized it.
After all, the pastry chef who created recipes also has his own blind spots in his knowledge and relies more on his own experience to match spices. Instead, like Xia Yu, with the help of the secret skills of the spice empress in the past, you can find suitable puzzles from the huge and complex spice material library to build an amazing spice empire in the cuisine.
As it turns out, Xia Yu did a good job.
The "Soul-Suppressing Noodles" that Hiro Akiyama just ate is 95%, and the 5% incompleteness is the problem with the choice of ingredients for vegetables, chicken bones and pig bones, rather than spice packs. He has already made the spice combination so that it cannot be better.
Everyone was silently digesting the information of "Soul-Suppressing the Sea".
"Guru~"
Suddenly, the whine of the stomach broke the silence.
Xiaolin Longdan covered his stomach with both hands, with a hint of coquettish tone, and deliberately said cutely: "Lecturer Xia, I have been busy since the evening until it is almost early in the morning. Can I make a few bowls of noodles to reward us later?"
She stared at Xia Yu with anticipation, looking pitiful, without the integrity of a three-year-old senior.
Having said that, Kobayashi Gentian is a three-year-old, and is 18 years old and is already an adult.
"I'll talk about this later!"
Xia Yu waved his hand, pointed to the kitchen switch, and ordered: "Erina, go and pull the switch!"
"ah?"
Erina Nakiri, who was named after her name, was confused.
"Obe obedient." Xia Yu handed over a smiley look, "I'll give you a big surprise later!"
So Erina went over and pulled the kitchen switch down with a confused expression.
The kitchen was dark in an instant.
In the darkness, a group of people looked at each other, not understanding what Xia Yu sold in the gourd.
Da da da da da.
Accompanied by footsteps, Xia Yu left and returned, followed by the sound of the wooden pallet falling on the kitchen counter. Although it was subtle, it was heard by the keen senses of Mas, Gin Dojima and others.
Before they could start guessing, the lid was lifted open by Xia Yu!
"Wow—"
In an instant, the sound of waves filled the entire kitchen.
The scent of aroma comes out, and in addition to the umami flavor, there is also a strong marine flavor.
Even though the vision is dark, it does not prevent Hiro Yoshi. Erina and Kobayashi Gentian see the world of cooking created by Natsuki.
I couldn't help but exclaim!
Dried scallops and dried silverfish, revived.
Shrimps and clams emerge in the air.
Wooden fish flowers have turned into newborn deep-sea bonitoes, and the kitchen is the ocean where they live.
A string of bubble sounds.
Erina, Kobayashi Gentian has long fluttering hair, one with blonde hair and the other with red hair, swimming in the deep sea.
"Um!"
Inhaling a scent, Erina's white and tender cheeks suddenly turned red. At this moment, she felt naked and swimming in the ocean of early spring. The sea water covered her whole body. The cool feeling gathered from countless pores around her body to her head, which made her mind tremble, her scalp numb, and she screamed involuntarily. Fortunately, only she could hear her voice, so she would not be too shameful, but even so, Erina still felt that her shame was about to explode.
Kobayashi Gentian is different. She was already hungry, and when she smelled the breath, she immediately threw away her reserve, inhaling, exhaling, and inhaling, as if she wanted to imprison the smell in her body. In the end, like Erina, her face was drunk and blushed to drip out of water.
"What's this……"
"universe!"
"So deep! It's shining!"
In the dull voice, Erina and Kobayashi Gentian woke up one after another.
They looked at them in a daze when they heard the sound.
On the kitchen counter, there is a large round porcelain bowl, and the sparkling light roughly outlines the outline of the bowl. Against the backdrop of this light, the black soup in the bowl is like a universe filled with a galaxy!
"ah--"
Erina covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes shining brightly.
"A shiny Milky Way appeared on the dining table!" Kobayashi Longdan looked obsessed.
"Why does it shine?!"
Chapter completed!
