They Gather Here

The atmosphere of Tokyo Institute of Technology is like this. Even if you are as smart as Luo Zhen, as tenacious as Eriri, as many friends as Kato Megumi, as arrogant as Yukinoshita, and as serious as Chitanda, these excellent people can't change it together.

and many more!

Is arrogance an advantage?

Forget it, let it be.

Luo Zhen asked Hiratsuka Jing, "Teacher, do you have any ideas?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka did not answer directly, but raised a topic: "How bad do you think Japanese food is?"

What kind of problem is this?

Everyone looked at the teacher in charge of Class A, not understanding her true intentions.

Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled again: "Then let me put it another way, how delicious is the Japanese food?"

Chapter 5 Activity Discussion and Modified Croquettes

How delicious is the Japanese food?

Isn't this question easy to answer?

When the fat of wagyu melts in the mouth, when the deliciousness of sea urchin spreads between the lips and teeth, it will make people feel alive.

Of course, there are also some high-calorie foods that are delicious enough to fly, which will make people feel a strong sense of guilt, and even think: "Fuck, will I go to hell if I eat like this!?"

But the question is, is this the answer Hiratsuka Shizuka wants?

Luo Zhen couldn't help thinking of the experience since rebirth:

Stay for a week, everything is delicious in the world;

Stay in January, everything has the same taste;

After one year, where is Huaxia Cuisine? ?

……

Especially within Tokyo.

As long as it's a dish, if it's all beef rice, going to 100 rated restaurants can basically guarantee a taste. Luo Zhen even suspects that there is an underground New Oriental in Tokyo.

It is a mysterious organization that does not seek fame or profit. It is responsible for cultivating all neon chefs, so that people can eat the taste of their small shop downstairs no matter where they are, so as to comfort those who work overtime every day until the dark A heart of homesickness.

Can this be considered food culture?

It may be more appropriate to call it "social animal culture". (laugh)

But it is precisely because of this that countless neon chefs with the spirit of exploration will continue to innovate and integrate into other countries' cuisines.

Still taking beef rice as an example, there is a significant difference in taste among the three top diaosi fast food restaurants of Matsuya, Sukiya (this should be translated as "Shiqiya"?), and Yoshinoya.

At the most basic level, not even red ginger tastes the same.

Luo Zhen thought of the croquette again.

Its name is taken from the French homonym "croquette", isn't this a typical daily use of Western food?

Luo Zhen looked at Hiratsuka Jing: "Teacher, what do you mean..."

Before the words fell, Hiratsuka shook her head: "I don't have any specific meaning, I just want to say, you all need to think more."

She whispered again in an imperceptible voice: "Anyway, if you study well, it's better to spend your time on club activities."

As a result, someone was unhappy.

￣□￣｜｜

Megumi Kato has black lines all over her head.

Shizuka Hiratsuka coughed and looked away, feeling embarrassed in front of the students for the first time.

As expected of "quiet and cute", she really has a cute side.

Luo Zhen forcibly held back his smile, stood up, and said, "Teacher Hiratsuka, I'm making a dish of Japanese food now, I hope you like it."

He stood in front of the stove, found two potatoes, cut them into slices with an average thickness of 0.2cm, and steamed them in the pan.

This is……

"Do you still want to make croquettes?" Ying Lili asked.

"That's right." Luo Zhen smiled, "Great cartoonist, I'll test you, why do you want to slice it?"

"Hmm...I...I think I understand!" Ying Lili clapped her hands, "You must not be going to use a microwave oven, so you sliced ​​it in order to speed up the cooking time."

This is true.

If it is a whole potato, it will take at least half an hour with the power of the neon steamer, but for potato slices, it can be easily done in ten minutes.

but……

"That's just one of the reasons."

"Hey?"

Luo Zhen smiled and shook his head, but did not answer directly.

He mashed the potatoes with a rolling pin, in two batches he stirred in the butter, beat well, then added a quarter cup of milk, then added air with a whisk, sifted three times, and added salt.

This is the recipe for Creamy Mashed Potatoes.

However, the amount of milk and butter is reserved to increase the consistency.

Next, the making of the meat stuffing is exactly the same, it is all mixed with onions and meat, and then evenly mixed with mashed potatoes.

After that, beat an egg, filter out the egg white, beat the egg yolk, and add a small amount of salt.

In the last step, the mashed potatoes with meat stuffing are first dipped in flour, then egg liquid, and finally rolled in bread crumbs, and then deep-fried in a frying pan until golden.

The croquettes are done.

However, it is not over yet.

Luo Zhen has to prepare the dipping sauce himself.

He poached an egg, then added chopped pickles, garlic, mayonnaise, parsley, and grated cheese to the container, along with the chopped egg.

Next, whisk vigorously to puree the eggs and cheese as much as possible and distribute them evenly in the salad dressing.

Finally, add an appropriate amount of salt and pepper, and stir well again.

The sauce is done.

Can't stop yet!

Luo Zhen chose eggplant, asparagus, and burdock, and fried them with tempura as side dishes.

So far, the modified version of the croquette is done!

Luo Zhen brought the plate to the table and said, "Let's have a taste."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not wanting to be the first to lift up their chopsticks.

They are humble.

Apparently, this busy guy has a mental estimate of the delicacy of Luo Zhen's cooking.

If you say you are not happy, it must be false.

Luo Zhen smiled slightly, and patted Nakano Wuyue's shoulder lightly: "Didn't you want to eat just now? Hurry up!"

Nakano Wuyue was taken aback for a moment: "But..."

"There's no such thing as a 'but', do you want to be asked?"

"Then I'm welcome."

Nakano Wuyue picked up a piece of croquette, dipped it in the sauce evenly, then blew it with a "hoo~hoo~" and put it into his mouth.

This is followed by…

"Crack!"

The dreamy chewing sound stimulated everyone's hearing.

Excellent!

May Nakano couldn't believe it.

The taste of the croquette is unmatched, crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, and the essence of mashed potatoes is wrapped in the batter and concentrated inside.

and……

"It smells like milk!" Chitanda said.

This guy's five senses really can be ranked in the [school top ten の incredible].

Luo Zhen nodded and gave an explanation: "This is the role of milk and butter. They support the strong barrier of milky mashed potatoes."

It turned out to be the case.

Nakano Wuyue nodded, and at the same time realized that the deliciousness of croquettes is far more than that.

Since the egg white is filtered out of the egg liquid, the deliciousness of the bread crumb itself is also brought out, making it several times crisper.

Then, the thick sauce that goes with it is also amazing.

Luo Zhen added parsley to the salad dressing to add a refreshing flavor and remove the greasy meat itself, resulting in such a superior taste.

The side dish made of vegetable tempura is also impossible to ignore, forming a sharp contrast in color with the croquette.

What Nakano Wuyue knew was that the delicious food in front of him was completely beyond the traditional Japanese croquettes, and it was a perfect innovation.

Everyone looked at her silently, showing envious expressions.

"Itsuki-senpai is really a gourmet." Chitanda whispered.

Yukinoshita: "That's right."

Ying Lili: "I agree."

Megumi Kato: "Certification."
