Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 16 True and false, false and true

Vegetarianism.

In these years, it is becoming increasingly popular!

However, many people still love the taste and taste of meat, but at the same time they also hope to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Therefore, in order to cater to this new trend of food thinking, many chefs use scientific ingredient processing technology to make vegetarian ingredients have the texture and taste of meat!

Take vegetarian chicken as an example. Although it is a "Kun Kun" dish that has been practiced for more than two and a half years.

But its essence is to adjust the processing method of tofu and add seasonings to make it similar to chicken in terms of texture, color and taste!

As for using toast bread to create the effect of beef, this was the first time in her life that Nakiri Erina had heard of it.

But after a short analysis, she felt that this wild idea could be realized in theory!

"Oh?"

"I guessed half of it right!"

"He is indeed improving the burger, but the method he uses is so innovative that he uses toast bread to make a beef patty!"

At the same time, Xiaolin Ringtong's eyes rolled around and he seemed to understand something.

……

Add lard.

Add wheat flour and mix thoroughly to make the bread have a beefy texture!

Then, add the diced onions, eggs and nutmeg, mix and press until it forms a "beef patty".

Put the beef patty back on the pan and fry it. With the sound of "sizzling", a rich beef aroma quickly filled the entire izakaya.

Well known.

Beef, when cooking at high temperatures.

Proteins and carbohydrates in muscle tissue undergo the Maillard reaction.

This reaction releases many different compounds, including some that have fragrance!

But now the beef patties made with toast bread can also exude this fragrance after a short period of frying!

"My God!"

"This taste is the unique aroma of beef!"

Nito Hisako, who had been playing the role of a passerby, was smelling the aroma of beef in the air. He couldn't help but cover his mouth in shock and said in surprise.

Apparently, using toast bread to create a beef patty effect was quite a blast for her!

"I see."

"This approach does have some tricks."

Erina fell into deep contemplation and finally sighed.

With her current strength, she can of course use vegetarian ingredients to have the texture and taste of high-end meat.It's just that she would find it very difficult to achieve the effect of beef on toast!

until now.

She finally saw it clearly.

The shopkeeper named "Zhang Fan" in front of him is not a person with an unworthy reputation.

Perhaps in his hands, a simple home-cooked meal can really be far better than those high-end dishes that ordinary people can hardly look up to!
……

vegetable juice.

oyster sauce.

mustard.

broth.

And most importantly, the specialty teriyaki sauce from Neon Country.

Throw all the above into the pot and simmer for 5 minutes to create a special sauce!

Then pour this sauce on the beef patty, and follow the hamburger method, take two slices of bread embryo, tomato, lettuce and beef patty and stack them one after another.

In this way, the hamburger without beef but with beef is complete!

If you take a closer look, the appearance of the "fake" beef hamburger in front of you is instantly recognizable.The bread has a golden appearance and is slightly bulging, like a small mountain peak!

Next is the beef patty, which is located in the middle of the hamburger. Under the influence of the special sauce, it takes on a dark red appearance!
In addition to the buns and beef patties, there are also tomatoes and lettuce. The colors of these two vegetables are different, adding a bright color to the hamburger!

"Wow!"

"It's amazing."

"After all kinds of bizarre practices."

"The fake hamburgers we made are exactly the same as the beef hamburgers sold on the market!"

When we got here, Fei Shasha was deeply shocked!
The cooking techniques were an eye-opener for her, and even subverted her previous understanding of hamburger cooking!

……

Next, prepare the tofu dregs.

Add low-gluten flour, sugar, and water to the tofu residue in sequence, then stir until it becomes as soft as an earlobe.

Correct!
It’s the earlobes!

Once the tofu forms a ball, use a knife to cut it into the shape of French fries and fry it.

The French fries made with tofu residue have no taste.

Therefore, in order to enhance the taste experience, Zhang Fan specially prepared anchovy meat, chopped it into fine pieces, and added it to unsalted butter and stirred it into thick anchovy butter!
Finally, add the buttered anchovies to the fries.

And the special anchovy-flavored fries are complete!

"what?"

“These kind of fries!”

"It's not made of potatoes, but... tofu dregs?"

After watching the entire production process, Erina almost went crazy.

Only then did she realize that none of the three dishes, the hamburger, the French fries, and the chocolate brownie she was going to make later, were real.

"Miss!"

"He's really amazing!"

"Using tofu residue, you can actually make French fries."

"And he... also carefully used anchovies to make a sauce, so that the tasteless French fries can have a unique anchovy flavor!"

Unlike Erina who was going crazy, Hisako's eyes were sparkling, and her bright eyes were full of deep admiration!

At this moment, even though she had a lot to say, thousands of words could only be condensed into one sentence:

Shopkeeper Zhang!
You are my God!

……

after that.

Ignoring Fei Shasha's repeated exclamations, Zhang Fan began to cook the last dish:
chocolate brownie!

But when he saw him, he first took out an ingredient that everyone present could not expect, rice bran!

Yes.

It’s the kind of rice bran that people throw away when rice is polished.

Add coffee and plum jam to the rice bran, then add rum, butter, nuts, etc., and then bake it in the oven. The time and heat set are to bake at 180 degrees in the middle for 35 minutes!

Finally, with the sound of "ding", the oven work was completely completed, and the chocolate brownie made of rice bran finally appeared in front of everyone!
"Toast bread."

“Made into beef patties and then into hamburgers!”

"Tofu dregs."

"It's made into French fries!"

"But the fries would have no flavor, so anchovies were used to enhance the flavor of the fries."

"Finally...he...how could he possibly think of using something as crude and rotten as rice bran to make chocolate brownies that represent nobility!"

Three kinds of Western fast food.

There is nothing the same at all, it is completely following the traditional method!
How could Erina not be surprised and shocked by such cooking methods?
