Chapter 73 Extremely Flavored Vegetable Soup Curry VS Bihu Spring Scenery (3)
In fact, there is no need for Soma Yukihira to answer this question, because the shining light of that special-grade dish has already explained everything.
"Created your own curry recipe?"
Zenji Marui pushed up his glasses, and then looked at Ryo Hayama, his eyes became more serious!
...
Curry with rice is a taste that no one dislikes, but Ryo Hayama makes it differently. He uses a kind of soup curry that is not common in curry's origin.
It is a spice stock curry that has almost no viscosity and is like a clear soup.
If Zhao Youqian had to describe it, soup curry is curry-flavored Malatang. The same soup base is used, the soup is thick and fresh, and the ingredients are soaked in to get a strong flavor.
It's just that one mainly relies on spices such as red oil chili, and the other uses curry-type spices.
For the three judges, they naturally knew what soup curry was like, but looking at the slightly golden and slightly brown soup, they were still a little confused.
In particular, Bunkyo Ichiro is considered a curry connoisseur. As soon as he smelled it, he noticed Hayama Ryo's recipe from the strong spices.
"There is no smell of turmeric powder or red pepper powder. You are very brave, Ryo Hayama!"
Different from Zhao Youqian's private discussion, Bunkyo Ichiro's voice was sent through the microphone, which immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
"No turmeric powder and red pepper powder?"
"Is this still curry?"
Discussions like this start to make a fuss.
You must know that according to the so-called basic curry ratio, it does not matter if other things are not included, but turmeric powder and red pepper powder are the reason why curry is called curry. Without these two, can it still be called curry soup? Is it possible? Isn't it just an ordinary spice soup?
Everyone's eyes were focused on the judges. Jiuzou Luyuan's expression did not change. Oda Keito, who had been a reporter and editor for many years, was not afraid of such a scene. They all stirred the curry in their soup bowls quite leisurely. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he put different fried vegetables into his mouth.
'This smell!'
Oda Keito's eyes widened for a moment, and it was obvious that the taste of this soup and curry had surpassed him.
The rich spices created a complex aroma in his mouth. Lemongrass, lemon leaves, saffron, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, angelica...the scattered flavors of various spices first impacted his taste buds.
Then, under these spices, the ultimate richness comes into mind.
After a long period of simmering, the flavors of the spices and the thick soup of various meats have been mixed into one.
The strong taste made Oda Keito feel that he was drinking an extremely rich broth. Suddenly, the sweetness of vegetables jumped out, with the unique fragrance of vegetables and various roasted fruits. The spice smell of essential oil pulled Oda Keito out of the rich spice lava.
Then he entered a clear stream filled with the aroma of vegetables. Just as he began to enjoy the coolness, the sweetness and texture of the corn shoots, which had absorbed the two soups, grew vigorously in his mouth. stand up.
The ultimate deliciousness of the broth and the freshness of the vegetables are all infused with the taste of the corn shoots, crisp, sweet, and with a strong earthy flavor. Oda Keito did not expect that in such a rich curry, the most outstanding thing It actually tastes like vegetables.
The corn shoots with the rich aroma of the earth completely occupied his taste buds that were conquered by soup and curry in an instant.
A happy smile appeared on his face, and many spectators present saw a strange scene. He closed his eyes and began to put soup, curry and rice into his mouth continuously.
Without opening his eyes, he still delivered the ingredients and rice perfectly, without any leakage.
“Wonderful! What a wonderful spice mix!”
Bunkyo Ichiro and Kusuru Rokuen didn't have as big a reaction as Oda Keito, but the rosy look on their faces and the constant feeding of rice spoons into their mouths were enough to explain everything.
The level of this ‘Extreme Flavor Vegetable Soup Curry’ will definitely conquer their picky taste buds.
To be able to become the head of the Gourmet Guild, Bunkyo Ichiro's status also belongs to the true special level. Although he is not a chef who has passed the special examination, he is also a special cook certified by igo.
He naturally has his own set of standards for judging each dish.
"Two different spice ratios create a recipe that does not use curry spices, but tastes better than curry recipes."
"The addition of lemon leaves and lemongrass combines the two flavors well with the taste of vegetable soup, making your soup curry stand out."
"The most important thing is that you add basil, some lemon juice and mint leaves to the vegetable soup. The taste of these three makes the taste of curry come out completely."
Bunsei Ichiro's words focused on the analysis of Ryo Hayama's curry spices, and did not completely reveal his spice formula, but it can already make people imagine the strange taste.
"What returns to the theme is the fried vegetables. The exquisite frying skills that have been ignored are even more overlooked. The oil you use for frying is actually a kind of spice. After completely infiltrating the vegetable ingredients, it will be perfect.
The combination of soup curry and the outer layer of batter not only provides texture, but also absorbs the flavor of the soup curry made by mixing the two soups."
After finishing his explanation, Bunkyuichiro looked at Ryo Hayama with indescribable appreciation in his eyes.
No one can feel this young man's exquisite use of spices better than diners. Among the accumulating flavors of spices, the taste of vegetables is constantly highlighted.
With such a design, such a concept, such an ingenious spice ratio, even if it were a special one, it might not be able to beat Ryo Hayama in this aspect.
How to prevent Bunkyo Ichiro from falling in love with this young man who is still almost an adult?
As for the struggle between the reformists and Yueyue, it is not enough to make this super gourmet have any inclination.
The Gourmet Guild has always been sincere about cooking and nothing else!
At this time, Bunkyo Ichiro's heart had been conquered by Hayama Ryo's cooking. In his eyes, no matter how strong Erina Kiri was, she would not be better than Hayama Ryo at this moment.
Moreover, when a dish like curry is presented first, the taste bud defense formed is beyond many people's imagination.
Whether Kirie Rina can break through such an iron wall is at least doubtful in Bunkyo Ichiro's mind.
The guys around Zhao Youqian were also worried at the same time.
However, Zhao Youqian's eyes were still looking at the girl standing next to Ye Shanliang with a smile, and her aura was not weak at all.
"Don't underestimate her too much, that's the heir to the Kiri family, 'God's Tongue' Kiri Erina!"
