Chapter 63 Stew and Croquettes
The theme of this competition is cooking with pork.

When Shimoda Kazuto raised this topic, Shirakawa Kazuya did not object, which made him feel that he had already won half the battle. After all, various meats are his best field, and in this field of expertise, he is especially famous for pork. .

But Shirakawa Kazu didn't care about his little thoughts. He felt that defeating him in the area where the opponent was most confident could deal the biggest blow to him and allow the subsequent plan to proceed smoothly.

Kazuto Shimoda chose the home-cooked potato stew, while Kazuto Shirakawa chose the croquette, a more suitable appetizer for an izakaya.

After pulling down the curtain to block the outside view, the two began to get busy.

After peeling the potatoes, wrap them in a thick layer of plastic wrap, Shimoda Kazuto put them in the microwave and started heating them.

"Hmph, let me show you my specialty dishes." Kazuto Shimoda watched the potatoes in the microwave slowly change color and began to prepare the sauce to be used later.

He poured Japanese sake and two tablespoons of mirin into the pot, turned on medium heat and brought them to a boil, allowing the alcohol in them to slowly evaporate into the air. He then left the fire and waited for the liquid in the pot to cool down, then added two tablespoons of it. soy sauce and stir them evenly.This is Shimoda Kazuto's exclusive recipe - all-purpose sauce.

This all-purpose sauce is usually used when eating sukiyaki pot, but I found that it is also very delicious in potato stew and other meat dishes. You only need to adjust the ratio of mirin, wine and soy sauce according to different situations. , can make the deliciousness of the dishes rise to another level.

There was a "ding" sound from the microwave. Kazuto Shimoda wore heat-resistant gloves and took out the steaming potatoes and placed them on the cutting board.

Peel off the outer two layers of the onion and cut it in half lengthwise. His knife skills are very fine. Each strip is about one centimeter wide. He lies neatly on the cutting board, leaning against the potato that has been cut into bite-sized pieces. next to the block.

Heat a pan over medium heat, heat the pan with cold oil, and add salad oil.Add the previously prepared pork belly slices and onion shreds into the pot, stir-fry until the onions turn transparent, and then add the potato cubes.

Shimoda Kazuto turned the heat to the maximum, poured in the all-purpose sauce that had been prepared previously, stir-fried until the soup was almost dry, then turned off the heat, sprinkled black pepper on top, took it out of the pot and put it on a plate. Garnished with some radish sprouts on the side, this potato stew is complete.

While Shimoda Kazuto was busy here, Shirakawa Kazuya was also in full swing.

In fact, he doesn't usually like to cook fried food because it is too troublesome. Wrapping the dough and cleaning up the residual oil are two big problems in the process of cooking fried food.

But this time, he still chose the fried meatloaf that he had kept privately for a long time.Because who can resist fried food fresh from the pan?This is so delicious. The perfect fried food can make people who are determined to lose weight lose their resistance in an instant, return to the embrace of fried food, and bloom a happy smile on their faces again.

Take out the onion and chop it into fine pieces with Ertian's first-class knife.

Kidding.

Shirakawa Kazuya put the beaten minced pork, minced onion and salt in a basin, mixed and beat until it became sticky, and then sprinkled a pinch of black pepper on top.

He divided the filling in the basin into five equal parts and rolled them all into balls with his hands.Then take one of them in your hand and throw it from your left hand to your right hand like a ball and then back to your left hand to remove the air from the filling.

Bai Chuanhe also felt that the efficiency was too slow, so he picked up many balls of stuffing at the same time, threw them all in the air and spun them like an acrobat, forming a circle in the air one by one.

Shimoda Kazuto's eyelids twitched a little. He knew that this was removing the air from the filling, but he didn't expect that Shirakawa Kazuya would turn him into an acrobatic performer.

"Frills and bells and whistles are of no use." He exhaled through his nostrils.

Bai Chuanhe ignored him, and pressed all the processed spherical fillings into round cakes, and then evenly spread wheat flour on the whole body one by one, dipped in the prepared egg liquid, and rolled them in a bowl filled with bread crumbs. , make sure the bread crumbs are fully hung on it.Pour oil into the pan, and when the oil temperature reaches 160 degrees Celsius, slowly pour the meatloaf into the pan and fry.

After about 5 minutes, Shirakawa Kazuya took them out and placed them evenly on the plate, using the residual heat to continue heating the inside of the patties.

The heat and frying time are very important. Shirakawa Kazuya was very cautious about this step and directly opened the [Tongue of the God of Cookery]. After tasting a small piece, he knew the heat and time to be fried again - high fire, 29 Seconds are just right.

Frying twice is one of the secrets of deliciousness.

He increased the heat and poured the meatloaf back into the pot, counting silently in his mind and watching the surface of the meatloaf in the pot slowly change color.By the time he counted 29, the patties were perfectly golden and he fished them out.

Finally, he used [The God of Cookery's Tongue] to adjust the proportions of ketchup, sweet and spicy sauce, and several other sauces. Shirakawa Kazuya also successfully plated and cooked the dish about 1 minute later than Shimoda Kazuto.

While the two were busy inside, several people outside were also waiting anxiously.

Mrs. Miyagi thought about the plan Shirakawa Kazuya told her before going in.If it can be executed smoothly, it will naturally be the best result that can be achieved at present.But if Shirakawa Kazu also fails to win.
Kawakami Masamune looked at his phone for a while, then glanced at the drawn curtain, feeling a little upset.

While the two of them were entering, Nagata Chinatsu, who was constantly being questioned by them, gave a rough explanation of the situation.This made Kawakami Masamune very dissatisfied, hoping that Shirakawa Kazuya could immediately transform into a chef and beat up the old man who looked so wretched.

"How's Shirakawa-san's craftsmanship?" Kinoshita Maki held her chin in her hands and looked at Nagata Chinatsu with her big, beautiful eyes.

Nagata Chinatsu said without hesitation, "It's great, I like it very much."

When Xiangzi heard what she said, she glanced at her quickly. After confirming that the other party was talking about cooking skills, she continued to stare at the lantern on the wall in a daze.

And Yuechi Chihaya who provoked all this seems to be a normal person now, continuing to stare at the phone screen, as if he doesn't care about all this.

Just half an hour before the trial opening, the curtain over the kitchen was pulled up again.

Shirakawa Kazuya called Mrs. Miyagi over, and not long after, Mrs. Miyagi came out with two dishes.

Putting the croquettes and potato stew in front of everyone, Mrs. Miyagi said to them, "Come and try it. One person, one vote, vote for the dish you like."

It was almost time for dinner, and the tempting aromas of croquettes and potato stew aroused their appetites.

So people began to taste.
