Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 33: Appetizers and Soup

When the time came to 11:15, Tong Yu stopped his movements and turned to look at Nao Sadazuka beside him.

“Sadazuka-san, how is your cooking done?”

“Hey, it’s done.”

“Then bring it over and let Chef Suwon taste it.”

Under the watchful eyes of the others in the cooking class… no, to be precise, while watching a joke, Tong Yu and Nao Sadazuka delivered the two dishes they had each made, a total of four dishes to Fuyumi Mizuhara, who was still reading the manga. before.

“Is it done so soon?” Fuyumi Mizuhara raised his head and asked in surprise.

It takes at least 3 hours for Fuyumi Mizuhara to complete the four dishes according to the cooking speed of ordinary students.

Tong Yu and Nao Sadazuka only spent 2 hours.

“Oh, it’s you.”

Tong Yu said “Oh” to Tong Yu because he had “acquainted” with Fuyumi Mizuhara and discussed “China One”, and the snake caught just now caught her attention.

“Chef Suwon, try the ‘game set meal’ made by the two of us together.” Tong Yu pointed to the four covered dishes in front of him.

Tong Yu’s remarks immediately drew sneer from other students in the cooking classroom.

“Game set? I think it’s almost like a ‘dark food set’.”

“Tsk, this is to let Chef Suwon test the poison.”

“Poor Chef Suwon, became a test for these two (in a low voice).”

“Nao Sadazuka must have done some terrible ‘dark cooking’ again.”

Hearing this, Tong Yu chuckled and opened the first dish: “The first is the appetizer I made ‘Lemon Snake Meat’.”

As Tong Yu opened the lid, he saw the thinly sliced ​​snow-white snake meat delicately placed on the plate.

The snake meat quilt is very thin, surrounded by three circles and three circles.

In appearance and this dish, it is similar to seafood sashimi, because the color and thickness of the cut are exactly the same as the fish fillet.

“Is this snake meat sashimi?” The expression on Fuyumi Mizuhara’s face finally changed.

“Well, it can also be called sashimi. But please don’t worry, Fuyumi Mizuhara, I have processed this snake meat at high temperature, and it is absolutely safe and green food.” Tong Yu said.

“Hey, did you hear that? Snake meat sashimi!”

“I really dare to serve this dish to Chef Suwon. This is a proper dark dish.”

The two tongue-chewing students said this again.

Fuyumi Mizuhara remained expressionless, picked up a piece of snake meat with chopsticks and looked at it in front of him.

“Snake meat, an ingredient rarely tasted.”

After saying this, Fuyumi Mizuhara put the snake meat into his mouth.

After chewing two bites, her expression changed and her pupils dilated.

“Haha, it’s really hard to eat.”

“Using snake meat for sashimi, just thinking about it makes me sick…”

However, Fuyumi Mizuhara’s next sentence directly slapped the mocking people in the face.

“Well, this texture… The texture of snake meat is as smooth and tender as silk, but it is surprisingly chewy when you bite it. Along with chewing, the deliciousness spreads in your mouth!”

Fuyumi Mizuhara changed from “three no” to “two no”, the expression on his face changed obviously, and a trace of rosy rose from his cheeks.

“what?”

The students also exclaimed. This was the first time they saw Fuyumi Mizuhara blushing after tasting the food.

Fuyumi Mizuhara also seemed to have noticed his gaffe, and slightly put away the surprised expression on his face, but the blush on his face couldn’t go away.

Is this really the taste of snake meat?

Fuyumi Mizuhara lowered his head and took a piece of snake meat into his mouth to taste.

Snake meat, as one of the game meats, it is reasonable to use a method similar to sashimi slicing to have a great strange taste, but there is no peculiar smell at all, and the taste is still so delicious.

Well.

It turned out to be the case, because a lot of lemon juice was used, and the sweet and sour taste of sweet vinegar completely blocked the peculiar smell of snake meat.

The high temperature treatment cleans and matures the snake meat, and at the same time, it can fully stimulate the delicious taste.

In addition, because the sour and sweet tastes act as an appetizer, it is also ready for the taste of the next dish.

This snake meat dish is really good as an appetizer.

The seemingly simple dishes contain superb cooking techniques, and the taste is different from any of the students’ dishes that they tasted yesterday.

Thinking of this, Fuyumi Mizuhara raised his head and glanced at Tong Yu.

“What’s the next dish?”

Fuyumi Mizuhara is looking forward to the next dishes because of the appetizing effect of the appetizers.

“The next one is the soup dish, the ‘cuttlefish scorpion soup’ made by me!”

Amidst a series of laughter from Nao Sadazuka, the second course was revealed.

I saw that this was a bowl of black ink soup that looked like gutter water.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a whole scorpion floating on the top of the soup, and a few black hairs can still be seen on the two claws of the scorpion.

Rao was Fuyumi Mizuhara, who had seen many strange dishes, and was stunned in front of this dish.

“Why is the soup made from scorpions black?” Fuyumi Mizuhara asked with an unnatural expression.

The scorpion soup, which was originally made by ordinary methods, is white and looks quite appetizing.

Although scorpions are poisonous, they are also a delicacy in Chinese cuisine. One of the more famous dishes is “Fuling Scorpion Soup”.

However, Nao Sadazuka did not make it according to the normal method. After boiling all kinds of seafood, the soup was boiled with scorpions, and strange things like cuttlefish juice were added, so the whole soup appeared black. .

Tong Yu also saw the process of making this dish by Nao Sadazuka just now. There is absolutely no problem with this soup and it can be drunk directly, and the taste should be pretty good.

After hesitating for a moment, Fuyumi Mizuhara picked up the spoon and scooped up the jet-black soup and slowly sent it to his mouth.

Putting it into her mouth, the soup was surprisingly delicious, which made her look change a bit.

The base soup boiled with several kinds of seafood, the umami of seafood spreads in the mouth… This umami is mixed with the special taste of scorpion.

In addition to the unsightly color, this soup dish is very novel in taste and cooking techniques.

Amid the amazement of the crowd, Fuyumi Mizuhara could not help but stop after drinking several spoonfuls.

“call.”

Fuyumi Mizuhara let out a breath, and the rosy color on her face became more obvious.

“What’s the main course?” Fuyumi Mizuhara asked.

The main course, as the name suggests, is a dish that dominates.

In the set meal, the appetizer and soup are prepared for the main course.

Fuyumi Mizuhara knew that the two dishes just now were just foreplay, and the main dish was the highlight.

“Maybe Chef Suwon has seen this main dish somewhere…”

After speaking, Tong Yu lifted the lid of the third main course.
