Chapter 91: King Crab
Maki Morita picked up a tightly tied crab from the aquatic products box of the ingredient kitchen counter.
This is not a hairy crab, but a king crab, a type of sea crab. It is mostly caught in cold waters and is known as the "king of crabs". Of course, the price is also very expensive.
It is so luxurious to replace hairy crabs with king crabs, thanks to Yuanyue’s free supply of ingredients in the class transfer exam.
There are all kinds of tools for handling crabs.
Maki Morita put on gloves, took a brush, carefully washed the king crab brush, and then threw the whole crab into the cooking pot and took it out after fifteen minutes. The crab was already cooked orange-red and full of umami flavor.
"Bang!"
The kitchen knife was cut off, and the six huge arthropod legs of the king crab and a pair of hideous forelimbs were removed. The transparent and flexible crab meat was exposed, and a umami smell swept across the venue.
"praise--"
Xia Yu gave a thumbs up not far away.
Although Morita's specialty area is pastry, she is now clean and neat in handling crabs, and obviously has a good hand at aquatic products.
The king crab is full of meat, but the meat inside the crab legs can be called truly tender and delicious.
This is also why customers usually only see a few big crab legs when ordering king crab dishes in hotels and restaurants. The essence is all in the crab legs.
Maki Morita is making crab noodles.
She took professional treatment tools, silver-shiny scissors, bone-clearing knives, shelled crab legs, and put the meat in a small bowl.
But in a few minutes, the small bowl was filled with fragrant crab meat, which was amazingly efficient.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
Put the bowl upside down on the chopping board and quickly cut the crab meat into finely diced diced meat. Next, cut it into minced ginger, mix it into the diced crab meat, pour it into a hot pot and stir-fry it for a while, add salt and season it with cooking wine.
For the first half an hour, Morita Maki focused on handling crabs.
The situation of Yukihei is roughly similar. A large cooking pot was placed on the kitchen counter, and there was something inside, and steam was pouring out.
Another stove was filled with a casserole and was cooking rice.
Qiuhei Chuang is more about waiting.
Of course, Xia Yu knew what Yukihei really wanted to do.
It’s nothing more than ‘transformation’ raw egg bibimbap!
The key to this dish is chicken wings and meat jelly, which is also the most time-consuming step. Without a professional kitchen environment, it will be difficult to make meat jelly for an hour, let alone the next step of scrambled eggs.
"The topic is about egg cooking. Do they understand it?!"
"Half an hour has passed!"
Erina Nakiri whispered with her chest, her voice waving with a hint of irritability.
One is cooking crabs and the other is cooking chicken wings. It seems that no matter what you think, it has nothing to do with the egg cooking, right?
"Miss Erina, come with me." Xia Yu suddenly approached.
"Hmm?" Erina Nakiri raised her eyebrows, "What are you doing?"
She showed a look of vigilance and looked contempt in her eyes, "Young Yue doesn't need a guy who is mediocre in cooking and can only walk through the back door! If you want to start from me and ask me to relax the examination review, I advise you not to dream!"
"No, no, I have something to say to you, quietly." Xia Yu hooked up.
Nakirina shook her head toughly, and was about to refuse, but she saw Xia Yu's lips moving silently. The lips were obviously repeating two words: bet!
"Hishazi, you can watch the exam room first." Erina Nakiri, who was pinched the pulse door, walked towards the side door of the venue with a calm face.
Xia Yu followed her and went to the corridor outside. When he went out, he deliberately closed the door.
Erina Nakiri put her hands on her chest, her back facing him, her eyes on a landscape painting on the wall, and she was still cold just looking at her side face.
"Ahem." Xia Yu said, "Erina, do you still remember our bet?"
The other end was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "...Remember!"
"Then, school will start in a few days. Do you think it was you who lost or I who won?" Xia Yu asked with a smile.
"I lost, and I won, is there any difference?"
Nakirina turned around and glared at him fiercely, with shame and anger clearly written in her eyes.
"Since you remember the bet, then remember the conditions for victory or defeat?" Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't really let you come to my shop as a chef. In exchange, just do some small things for me..."
"You want to threaten me with a bet?"
Erina Nakiri said coldly: "I am the examiner of this exam. If I fail, I am not qualified. There is no reason to say!"
"Why, your 'friend' has a mediocre cooking skills, so you still want to go to the back door from me?" Erina Nakiri emphasized the tone of the word "friend", which was a bit sarcastic.
"Girl, you have a big brain." Xia Yu was speechless.
"I just want you to be fair..."
"Fair? I am the chief examiner. Justice is my principle, and you should remind me. I said that as long as those two candidates can make dishes that satisfy my 'God', they will be qualified!"
With a snorkeling, Erina Nakiri pushed the door and returned to the examination venue.
But she didn't know that Xia Yu raised the corner of her mouth behind her back.
Get it done!
This little girl has been trained by her father. She has a flaw in her personality and is too willful and arrogant. If she doesn't pull her out, she will remind her a few words. Even if she presents her work that satisfies her "God's tongue", she will be criticized for being unqualified.
This is the original work.
Yukihei Tsuma was cheated. If he had not been the son of Yukihei Ichiro and had received the care of Nakiri Sensaemon, he would have said goodbye to Totsuki. Then the story of the Spirit of Eater was over at the beginning.
Moreover, because of Erina Nakiri's arrogance and willfulness, telling her directly will hurt her and make her jump in anger.
So, Xia Yu used a relatively gentle method to make Erina Nakiri realize her job as the examiner.
As the chief examiner, the most important thing is of course fairness.
At least in terms of work, Erina Nakiri, who is one of the top ten, is quite reliable.
With such effort, Xia Yu was just helping Morita Maki. As for Yukihei, he had a good father, and his luck would not be bad, and he wouldn't be his turn to help.
Back at the examination venue, half an hour later, Maki Morita and Makoto Yukihei presented their own dishes one after another.
"This is the signature dish of Yukihira Restaurant-"
"Transform into raw egg bibimbap!"
Yukihei Tsuma untied the white scarf on his forehead.
"Really, it's really a simple raw egg bibimbap?" A black line appeared on Shinto Hirosa's forehead. There was no distinctive feature of the dishes on the table. It was simply fried eggs, and there was a bowl of steaming rice next to it. The two were mixed, and the raw egg bibimbap was raw.
"Are you planning to use this simple and insignificant dish to make Lord Erina agree with it?"
Nido Hisako glared at Yukihiro Masa.
“…”
Erina Nakiri stood aside with her chest in her arms, closing her eyes lightly, indicating that she didn't want to speak.
"Hey! The true face of this dish will be revealed by me-" Yukihei Tsuma picked up the small square bowl on the table and suddenly hung it upside down, scrambled eggs into the rice bowl. Moreover, some translucent meat jelly fell on the hot rice and melted quickly, and the strong fragrance came to his nose.
After sniffing a small mouthful, Erina Nakiri said in shock: "Chicken soup?"
A whole bowl of rice was quickly turned crystal clear by the meat frozen, and the dish was indeed mouth-watering.
Um?
Yukihei Tsuma was about to say the three words "please use it slowly" and handed over chopsticks. Unexpectedly, at this time, an umami bomb suddenly dropped in the hall, and the explosion was blasting. The rich umami flavor turned into a raw egg bibimbap and completely crushed it.
“This is my dish!”
Morita Maki smiled and uncovered the lid of the cooking.
Chapter completed!
