A traditional dish in Huaiyang cuisine, one of the four major Chinese cuisines. Its original name is Sunflower Chopped Pork. It is also known as the sunflower heart made of huge meat balls, which is so beautiful that it looks like the head of a lion.
For the lion head.
Seeing this familiar famous Chinese dish appear in front of him, Xia Tian couldn't help curling his lips, glanced at Yukihira Soma, and said:
"You really dare to think about it, Yukihira. If this dish of yours appears in China, there will probably be another controversy."
Hearing Xia Tian's words, Yukihira Soma couldn't help but be a little confused and didn't understand what they meant.
Seeing this, Xia Tian could only shake his head, because this dish of Yukihira Soma is really difficult for some local Chinese cooks to accept. Chinese cuisine is full of flowers and has many flavors, but in the final analysis, it is divided into eight traditional Chinese cuisines.
Among the cuisines.
Although cooks from various cuisines are not hostile to each other, they are often competitive with each other. Although there are many cooks who are proficient in multiple cuisines, the dishes they make are clearly layered. Although they can be borrowed from each other, they are not mixed.
in.
However, Xingping Chuangzhen’s dish includes Danzi noodles from Taiwan Province in China, a layer of Mapo tofu from Sichuan cuisine, and finally a signature dish of Huaiyang cuisine - lion head!
This is not just a reference, it is basically a hodgepodge. If those traditional Chinese cuisine people saw it, I am afraid it would be very awkward.
The taste style is elegant and the Huaiyang cuisine that pursues the original taste is paired with the exciting and impactful Sichuan signature dishes. This will make gourmets who follow strict ancient customs see it and definitely pass it without even tasting it.
Will taste it.
Seeing this, Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh:
"Xingping, you should be glad that you are not specialized in Chinese cuisine, and you are not in mainland China, otherwise, humph..."
Xia Tian snorted coldly. Although he didn't finish what he said, the meaning was already self-evident. Xing Ping Soma looked confused and wanted to ask what to write, but found that Xia Xia had already started to taste the food.
In the end, I could only swallow the words that came to my lips, and could only frown by myself.
Gently poke the lion's head in the bowl, and the beautiful golden sauce will flow out, and a fierce storm of spices will sweep through the air.
Smelling the familiar aroma in the air, Xia Tian couldn't help but murmur:
"...Curry! This is really..."
Xia Tian closed her eyes and savored the taste of curry carefully, but her mind began to spin rapidly, saying word by word:
"Cloves, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds... and a smell of beef. It seems that you used beef bone stock..."
Seeing Xia Tian tasting his own curry recipe like a family treasure in just a few seconds, Yukihira Soma couldn't help but said with envy:
"Your sense of taste is still so sensitive!"
Although there is a "God's Tongue" Nakiri Erina in the academy, Soma Kohei is not interested in this eldest lady. Instead, he is quite interested in Xia Tian's superhuman taste. This is probably not even his own.
think.
Xia Tian raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and continued to taste the food. The sauce from the lion's head slowly penetrated the entire dish. Xia Tian picked up the noodles with chopsticks and slowly brought them into his mouth.
"Hiss Liu~"
"Um?"
When the food first entered my mouth, Xia Tian opened his eyes suddenly, and a trace of sweat flowed from his forehead. The spicy and stimulating taste suddenly pried open his somewhat slack taste buds.
But just when Xia Tian was preparing to face this fierce impact, the rich and fragrant taste followed closely, leaving people with endless aftertaste and couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.
What surprised Xia Tian even more was that the stable and mellow taste came not from the clean and elegant Huaiyang cuisine but from the Mapo Tofu in the cuisine, and the spicy and fragrant taste was also the opposite.
“Delicious, not bad!”
After tasting the food, Xia Tian gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a paper towel and asked:
"What's the name of this dish?"
"How about "Ma Po Curry Noodles"? I know it will work. This is my own Chinese cuisine!"
Hearing Xia Tian's praise, Yukihira Soma couldn't help but raise his head proudly.
However, Xia Tian curled his lips after hearing this and continued:
"It's indeed good. Yukihira, you finally have a real "weapon" to fight against Kuga Teruki, but..."
Speaking of this, his voice couldn't help but pause. Xingping Soma looked at Xia Tian, and saw Xia Tian looking at him meaningfully and saying:
"But don't be so sure whether it's Chinese cuisine or not. If a real Chinese cook heard about your "Ma Po Curry Noodles", it would really make people laugh!"
Xing Ping Soma: "..."
Hearing Xia Tian's unkind words, Xing Ping Soma's face suddenly darkened, and he looked worried and unconvinced.
Xia Tian glanced at Yukihira Soma, and immediately knew what the other person was thinking, and said coldly:
"Don't think I'm lying to you, Xingping, you should understand in your heart that although your cuisine is composed of Chinese cuisine, it is fundamentally different from Chinese cuisine. Do you understand?
?”
Sure enough, Xingping Soma became silent when he heard this, and Xia Tian couldn't help but smile proudly when he saw this. He didn't know why, when Xingping Soma said that this was his own Chinese cuisine, he felt a little harsh and even
He was a little angry. Anyway, he would never agree that Yukihira Soma's dish was Chinese cuisine, and besides, he wasn't one either.
As time passed slowly, because of the long queue at Kuaga Teruki's Chukaken, some customers who couldn't wait noticed the ordinary Yukihira shop opposite.
Immediately afterwards, the first customer arrived, and when the aroma bomb of "Ma Po Tofu Noodles" exploded, it instantly attracted the waiting customers and walked over involuntarily.
This dish is just a good dish for summer, but for these ordinary diners, it is like discovering a new world, eating such a novel and delicious dish for the first time.
Sometimes Xia Tian has to admit that Neon people’s curiosity is really strong enough. “Danzi Noodles”, “Ma Po Tofu” and “Lion’s Head” are three dishes with completely different tastes. They dare to try them when they are combined into one.
, if these were considered by local Chinese people, they would be considered “dark cuisine”!
"Tsk tsk~"
Xia Tian was amazed at the customers who were following Soma Kohei's stall, which meant that they had met Soma Kohei, a fanciful but capable cook. Otherwise, they would have had nothing to do...
On the other side, Xia Tian couldn't help but reveal a strange smile when he saw Zhonghuayan, whose passenger flow had disappeared by half in an instant.
"Now, it's time for Jiuga to pay more attention to it!"
