Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 34 The transcendent soufflé dessert

thing.

It’s all man-made!

Although the dishes are made by people, each ingredient actually has its own temperament.

For example, take the Thousand Layer Pancake, each piece of pie crust will have its own idea, and novices will always have to stumble a few times at the beginning; another example is the various shredded dishes, if you are not careful, they will turn into various failed versions. Candied haws!

Therefore, every seemingly simple dish actually hides some difficulties!
Soufflé, how to prevent it from collapsing within 1 minute?
in fact.

on this problem.

Many chefs find it extremely difficult!

But in Zhang Fan's eyes, or in the eyes of Alice Nakiri who is good at molecular cuisine.

They will all find it easy, it's nothing more than adding a gelatin powder for stabilization...well, that's it!

……

"Gelatin powder?"

"It's really not my style of cooking to use this kind of thing!"

Returning to the cooking table, Zhang Fan took a deep breath and then muttered to himself.

It is said that a successful soufflé has extremely strict requirements on details, so all materials must be prepared before making it.

butter!

egg!

White sugar!
flour!

First of all, these four things are essential!

"You two, the izakaya is temporarily out of fruits and nuts!"

"I only have some chocolate I bought in the supermarket a few days ago, so you don't mind making a chocolate-flavored soufflé?"

"Of course I don't mind."

"You can do whatever you want."

Akane Kubotao quickly responded.

"OK"

"Then let's start!"

After saying that, Zhang Fan finally got busy.

……

But see.

He first preheated the oven and then took out a dozen small cups that were relatively heat-resistant.

Use a small brush to first apply a layer of softened butter, then re-smear it on the inner wall of the small cup, then sprinkle some white sugar and pour out the excess.

Once ready, place all the small cups in the refrigerator to chill.

Heat and melt the small pieces of chocolate, add butter and beaten egg yolks in sequence, mix well and set aside.

Add lemon juice to the egg whites, add the sugar in three batches, and beat with an electric egg beater.When adding sugar for the last time, add cornstarch at the same time, and keep whipping the meringue until it reaches a hard peak with straight peaks!
Divide the meringue into two portions, add 1/3 of the portion into the chocolate batter, and beat evenly.

At last.

The remaining 2/3 portion.

Continue adding it and stir until it becomes a mousse!
"Ok?"

"Is it my illusion?"

"Although it's done in a decent way, it's still a normal way of making soufflé, right?"

From beginning to end, there was nothing eye-catching about Zhang Fan's whole process. This made Akane Kubo Momo, who was watching quietly next to him, inevitably feel a sense of disappointment and helplessness!

"Peach!"

"Keep watching."

"I believe that in the end, his soufflé dessert will surprise you!"

When Xiaolin Gendan saw this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

But when I think about Zhang Fan, he never speaks big words, he is a man of his word!
Therefore, she could only focus on Zhang Fan again, wanting to see how he completed the Fleur dessert.

...after I left.

Zhang Fan, prepare the meringue.

Fill them all into a small cup, scrape the pile into the shape of a hill, and finally smooth the surface with a knife.

Bake at 150 degrees Celsius in the middle and lower racks of the oven for a full 20 minutes. During the baking process, all the soufflés will slowly expand.

Obviously the process of waiting for the release of soufflé is like pursuing the person you love. The process is long, but the ending is very sweet!

Finally, under the expectation of everyone.

With the sound of "ding", a dozen soufflés are ready to be freshly baked!
"coming!"

"coming!"

"I hope it won't collapse when I take it out!"

Ringtong Kobayashi was looking at the soufflé dessert in the oven, which was finally about to be baked, and couldn't help but stare with his round eyes, seemingly full of anticipation and nervousness.

Next to her, Akane Kubo Momo was also watching closely, although she always felt unsure in her heart, because the soufflé dessert that Zhang Fan had just made was extremely ordinary in terms of its preparation and ingredients.

But for some reason, she really hopes that this soufflé will not collapse!
Afterwards, all the soufflé desserts were brought out.

The moment they came into contact with the air, their golden, slightly caramel-colored appearance did not change at all, nor did they collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At first glance, you will recognize that this is a classic French dessert.

Look carefully.

The upper crust is a bit tough!
On the lower level, there is still some humidity.

The entire lightweight soufflé is like a fluffy, completely unpredictable cloud!
"Wow!"

"It really won't collapse!"

“And this soufflé dessert feels so soft and bouncy.”

"Especially the curvaceous shape similar to the mounds, which also fully expresses a concept of "cuteness", which makes me feel like it's almost cute!"

"Could it be that this Izakaya owner also has a strong design talent?"

Seeing all the soufflés in front of me looking so unique and cute, Akanekubo Momo's childlike innocence was instantly enchanted, and her eyes began to sparkle.

……

cute.

This is a very abstract concept.

But cute things are often regarded as an aesthetic tendency!

Akanekubo Momo has been portrayed as liking cute things since she first appeared.

Perhaps it’s the “cute” element that allows her to show her inner world and her love for life, making it easier for others to resonate with her!
Because of this, so many people like her "cute" dessert dishes!
Maybe?
Even she herself doesn't know.

Her own image is actually closely related to cuteness.

She has big eyes, a round face and a petite figure. These physical characteristics naturally make her look very cute.

In addition, her clothes and accessories often have cute elements, such as:
A hairstyle similar to cat ears, often holding a stuffed animal and so on!
therefore.

Although it is the fourth seat among the top ten.

And in the original plot, there is no role.

But it is precisely this kind of role that makes Zhang Fan have a good impression!
"56"

"57"

"58"

"59"

"60"

"It's been a full minute, and none of the soufflés have collapsed yet!"

Counting to the last 60 seconds, when he saw that the soufflés in front of him still looked like they were freshly baked, Ringtong Kobayashi said excitedly.

miracle!

What a miracle!
I just wanted to have high hopes for Zhang Fan, but he actually realized it!
