Food Wars: Food Wars: The Beginning: Cutting Off The Nakiri

Chapter 60

Seeing Shen Lang in silence, Stephen Zhou grinned and said:

“As a chef, you always have to keep some money in your pocket.”

“If the dishes you cook can be easily seen through by others, how can you create a sense of anticipation for your guests?”

“Today, I will teach you one last thing.”

“That is, as a chef, you have to learn to hide your own feelings in your dishes.”

Stephen Chow looked at the sad and heart-breaking rice he made, and then he continued:

“The onion is just a disguise”

“This is to prevent the guests from seeing the true essence of the Anran Xiehun Rice.”

“A little bit of fresh chopped onion can make the guests feel sore eyes”

“The lotus seed heart is the true soul of this dish.”

“I used my inner strength to dry the lotus seeds and ground the peeled lotus seed core into powder.”

“After diners taste the sweet barbecued pork sauce, the lotus seed powder hidden in the barbecued pork sauce will release a hint of bitterness unconsciously.”

“The bitterness of the lotus seed core combined with the spiciness of the onion creates a magical effect that echoes the beginning and the end.”

“What impresses customers is not the taste itself, but the care that the chef puts into the food.”

“Hiding the true appearance of the dish and leaving a hint of suspense is one of the many ways for chefs to express their feelings in cooking. Shen Lang, do you understand?”………

Stephen Chow explained the truth so clearly, how could Shen Lang not understand it?

The reason why the sad and ecstatic rice brings so many surprises to the guests is that in addition to the amazing taste itself, the foreshadowing Stephen Chow left in the cuisine also plays a vital role.

There are many things that can touch the guests, and the unknown and secrets are one of them.

At this moment, the true veil of the sad and ecstatic rice was unveiled by Stephen Chow.

Shen Lang felt that his understanding of this dish had reached a higher level.

After telling Shen Lang what he wanted to say without reservation, Stephen Chow began to focus on Shen Lang’s cuisine.

From the outside, the cuisine made by Shen Lang seemed to be sad and ecstatic rice.

But Stephen Chow felt that with his understanding of Shen Lang, at this time, he would never make a dish to perfunctorily deal with himself.

So Stephen Chow picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of barbecued pork directly, and put it in his mouth.

The next second, Stephen Chow closed his eyes and began to taste it carefully.

When the barbecued pork sauce touched Stephen Chow’s tongue, the same mellow sweetness flowed, and the strong meaty aroma of the barbecued pork slowly echoed between Stephen Chow’s lips and teeth.

However, at this moment, Stephen Chow suddenly felt a hint of coolness in his body.

Under the mellow sweetness, this slight coolness seemed to stand out.

“This taste….yes….Mint! ?”

Stephen Zhou suddenly opened his eyes:

“The juice from the fried mint enriches the taste of the barbecued pork sauce”

“With a hint of coolness, the sweetness of the barbecued pork sauce will be particularly prominent.”

“And most importantly, the coolness of mint will dilute the greasy taste of white sugar!”

“This is a great idea!”

“Shen Lang, how did you come up with the idea of using mint to make barbecued pork sauce?

Seeing Stephen Chow looking at him, Shen Lang said calmly:

“The coolness of mint can easily stimulate the sensory nerves in the diners”

“The diners’ sense of taste will be magnified at this moment.”

“Whether it is the tenderness of the barbecued pork or the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce…..will be highlighted in the taster’s mouth”

“In my cooking, mint acts like a magnifying glass.”…………

Stephen Zhou raised his head and looked at Shen Lang.

“There are no onions, no lotus seeds, and the whole dish has no bitterness or spiciness.”

“If I’m not mistaken, in order to highlight the sweetness of this dish, you should have replaced the sweet potato powder used to outline the barbecued pork sauce with pumpkin powder.”

“So, the dish you made is not the Sadness Rice at all, right?”

Shen Lang nodded.

“This is just a bowl of ordinary barbecued pork rice”

“Ordinary barbecued pork rice?”

Stephen Zhou was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, he slowly asked:

“Why not try adding something spicy to this barbecued pork rice?”

“After experiencing sadness, people will cherish the hard-earned joy more.”

“The same is true for cooking! If you learn from my sad and ecstatic routine, you should understand that only when stimulated by different flavors will the guests cherish the hard-earned sweetness in their mouths.”

“and…….”

Before Stephen Zhou finished speaking, Shen Lang interrupted him.

“Teacher Stephen!”

“Do you remember what you said before?”

“A chef’s dishes should be filled with his life experiences.”

“The Sadness Rice is your dish, Mr. Stephen Chow. The inspiration for this dish comes from your feelings after the ups and downs.”

“So, this is a dish that belongs only to you, teacher.”

“I have never experienced what my teacher has experienced, so I have no reason to force myself to add flavors that do not bring me feelings into my dishes.”

“So, this is my own unique dish.”

“This is the taste I want to present to my guests.”……………..

Stephen Zhou looked at Shen Lang without saying a word.

After several minutes, he finally smiled.

“Great explanation”

“I give you a 100-point rating for this answer!”

“Shen Lang, congratulations, you have really reached the standard of becoming a master”

“Now I can leave with peace of mind.”

As Stephen Zhou finished speaking, a white light slowly enveloped his body.

Stephen Zhou’s figure began to fade.

“Teacher, who do you think won the duel between us today?”

“In terms of taste alone, Shen Lang’s cooking is better.”
