Of course, the judges here are quite professional. In fact, looking at the bowl of wonton noodles in front of you, you can probably guess that the hairtail is definitely not wrapped in the wontons above, but made into noodles. Otherwise, it would be obvious
It doesn't fit the theme of face not face.
And several people are also very clear about the focus of this review. Because it is not too difficult to imagine using other materials to make noodles, but the only thing that needs to be overcome is the chewy texture of the noodles.
Noodles without chewy texture can be said to have no texture at all. It is naturally possible to just use hairtail as flour and knead it into the shape of noodles, but those things are more accurately called fish strips, not noodles.
If the chewy texture problem cannot be solved, then this dish can only be said to be "non-noodles" rather than "noodles are not noodles." This is the key to this showdown.
Several people started the tasting session one after another, picking up the noodles, and everyone was surprised. Because it was obvious that although the noodles looked very thin, they were not broken. If the noodles were just ordinary fish sticks, this would obviously be impossible.
Put it in your mouth and gently slurp it, and a refreshing seafood taste instantly fills your mouth. Yes, the seafood flavor of this noodle is quite strong, but the soup is quite light, and the two flavors can be said to complement each other.
Of course, the most important thing is that this thing does have chewy texture, and it is not the kind of texture that melts in your mouth. Yes, the chewy texture is indeed the texture of noodles.
"Is this... sweet potato flour?" one of the judges asked.
"Yes." Joichiro Yukihira here didn't make any fuss, and directly told his cooking secrets, "I have traveled to various countries in the past few years to explore the delicious food from various places. This fish noodle dish is what I learned from China.
Cuisine learned in one place along the coast.”
"Fish noodles?" Although these judges are quite professional, they have never heard of a dish like fish noodles.
"Put the fish cakes on the sweet potato flour, and use tapping to fuse the sweet potato flour and fish cakes. Then bake them on the stove until they are half cooked, cut them into noodles, and then dry them directly in the sun or use a dryer to get the result.
This kind of fish-flavored noodles." Yukihira Joichiro introduced.
"That's it, no wonder it's so chewy." Several judges nodded, then tried the side dishes, picked up a wonton, and the moment they bit into it, a burst of sweet shrimp flavor spurted out.
"Fried wontons with shrimps..." I can only say that these side dishes and noodles complement each other perfectly. The taste is neither salty nor bland, and full of umami. Like a umami bomb, it invades and explodes the mouths of all the judges.
.
There was a "bang" sound. Linton was eating, and he looked to the side speechlessly. Sure enough, it was the sound of Nakiri Senzaemon's clothes splitting next to him.
This old man doesn't know what's wrong with him or what kind of superpower he has. Every time he eats something good, he just explodes the armor. Of course, you can explode it if you want. This guy has to sit next to Linton every time.
, doesn’t this affect Linton’s eating?
Fortunately, this is also the fourth day, Linton is almost used to it, and it won't be fried in his bowl anyway.
"Very good, hahahaha..." Apparently Nakiri Senzaemon is quite satisfied with Yukihira Joichiro's cooking. He has been eating Fubuki's cooking for three days, and today is the first time he can see the hope of winning.
This time. Before, he felt like he was gone after eating, but this time he was a little hesitant.
Of course, it still depends on Fubuki's performance. After all, this theme is quite difficult. Not only did Seiichiro Yukihira finish it, but he was also so good. In his opinion, he has won most of it.
"Seiichiro, you have become even better." Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Yukihira Joichiro and couldn't help but praise him.
Nakiri Senzaemon remembered the outstanding graduates quite clearly. Especially the golden generation of students from the 69th class, Gin Dojima and Seiichiro Saiba. Thinking of this, it reminded him of the one he didn't want to have.
The guy who mentioned it.
"The reception was not good." Yukihira Joichiro said with a smile, and at the same time he looked at the audience and saw the direction of his son Yukihira Soma.
What he was thinking was that Yukihira Souma should have seen the enthusiasm he showed when he was cooking, and he didn't know if his passion was rekindled. He really wanted to go down and have a heart-to-heart talk with his son, but of course that was not possible now, after all.
...The Shoji Halberd isn't over yet.
That's right, Fubuki's side was also ready at this time, and the familiar dinner cover had already covered the food. Of course, not only the judges were used to this, but so were the viewers who had been watching for several days.
"Are you coming again? Luminous cuisine, worthy of being the Queen of Light."
"What exactly is this glowing food? Has no one figured it out yet?"
"You said it doesn't matter what she prepared herself. This time she decided on the theme on the spot, and the ingredients are all provided by the college. How can it still shine? This can't really be magic."
Yes, the audience all guessed that the food here is definitely going to shine. Nakiri Senzaemon next to him also took out a pair of sunglasses directly from under the judges' seat. He looked at Linton who was looking at him and said directly: "
I am old and have bad eyesight. The bright light will stimulate my eyes to make me cry..."
"Uh... you are free to do as you like," Linton said speechlessly.
In fact, the irritation of this light is not that strong. I guess the old man just wanted to use sunglasses to see what the specific glow was. After all, his eyes were covered by strong light before, so he couldn't see clearly.
As Fubuki stepped forward and opened the dining cover, sure enough, several rays of light shot up into the sky. Good guy Linton said that he has become more and more proficient in cheating. When he first joined the Shokugeki, Fubuki felt a little restrained. Now he can't even lift the cover.
Her movements are all a bit like a queen, which feels quite enjoyable.
"This is my dish, catfish noodles." Fubuki said.
Even though Nakiri Senzaemon was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't figure out what the light was about, but he forgot about it for the time being and shifted his attention to cooking.
I looked at the noodles in front of me. First of all, the noodles looked a lot thicker than Yukihira Joichiro's. They were considered thick noodles. The soup seemed to be soy sauce flavored. As for the side dishes, I knew they were fish rolls at first glance. I didn't expect it.
The ingredient the other party just brought was probably a sea bream roll.
So the biggest problem facing this dish now is naturally the same problem, how to solve the chewy problem of noodles? Of course they can imagine making noodles from catfish, but this thing has absolutely no chewy texture. Fubuki obviously won't make it that simple.
error.
While thinking about it, everyone was shocked as they picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it into their mouths. The moment they entered the mouth, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
