Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 44 The Gap Between People
It is different from the lightness of sushi and soba noodles.

Tempura belongs to the "fried type". Although it goes against the light food tradition of Japanese cuisine, it is still very popular.

The reason behind this is that the ingredients and coating of tempura contain water.

Based on the principle that water and oil are incompatible, the heat generated by heating the oil is used to "dehydrate" the internal ingredients, forcing out the fresh and sweet natural taste of the food!
thus.

At first glance it looks fried.

In fact, tempura is a steamed food.

The "steamed" tempura can be placed on paper without oil or water, so it is loved by many people!
In short.

Oil!
It is the "soul" of tempura.

When it comes to frying tempura, 70% depends on the oil temperature, 20% depends on the batter, and 10% is about fresh ingredients!

Zhang Fan's strict attention to details is fully reflected in the oil used in tempura.

In his opinion, the oil suitable for deep-fried tempura must have aroma, but not be too rich and overwhelm the original flavor of the ingredients!
At the same time, the energy must be sufficient and the smoke point must be at the most suitable index.

This ensures that the ingredients can be colored quickly and bring out the flavor of the ingredients in a very short period of time.

finally.

After repeated attempts.

He discovered that the oil that is perfect for frying tempura is rice oil!
This kind of oil is light in quality and will not take away the freshness of the ingredients. It colors quickly, has enough energy, and has a delicate fragrance during frying. It is more practical than sesame oil!

……

Fireworks.

This is the essence of an izakaya!
Handsome.

free from vulgarity.

Personable.

This is the charm of shopkeeper Zhang!
In him, the sense of mystery that he hides in the city, and the ability to stop making noises and start surprising people once he makes a noise always impress every diner!
"Shopkeeper!"

"Your knowledge is so broad!"

"If I had as much knowledge as you, I wouldn't always get E-level evaluations!"

After listening to Zhang Fan's explanation, Tian Suohui's big watery eyes were like two shining pearls, radiating light!

In her heart, she began to admire Zhang Fan.

perhaps.

Among all the residents of Pole Star Residence Hall.

She is best at local dishes like tempura, so it resonates with her more psychologically, right?

But at the same time, she was also deeply ashamed. After all, in the field of cooking where she was best at, she was not even as good as an izakaya owner!
"Ah!"

"These areas of knowledge."

“It’s all slowly figured out through constant practice!”

"Nowadays, the competitiveness of the catering industry is becoming increasingly fierce, and there are endless varieties of dishes, condiments, marketing methods, service levels, etc."

“So how do you keep the purest way of making a dish, but also cater to the trend of the times and make breakthroughs!”

“I think this is a question that every chef should think deeply about!”

Hearing this, Zhang Fan just shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Then he stopped talking to Tadokoro and others, turned back to the cooking table, and continued to work.

……

In fact.

Realistically many cooks.

The dishes they make will actually lose their original surprise and shock as time goes by, and gradually become bland and tasteless!

This phenomenon does not mean that chefs are lazy or cut corners on ingredients.

It is the cumulative result of the intensity of human sensory stimulation and has certain characteristics of intensity!
Ah!
to be honest!
It’s the difference between “full” and “tired”!

If fullness is a physical effect of stomach capacity, then the perception of "satisfaction" is a psychological response!
That is to say, the same food, no matter how delicious it is initially, but if you eat it for a long time continuously or eat a lot, it will eventually lead to sensory saturation and eventually a disgusting mentality!
The Curse of God's Tongue is actually an enhanced and upgraded version of this aspect.

However.Zhang Fan’s cooking.

But it always has a kind of magic power, which seems to make people feel more delicious the more they eat!
Therefore, for Yi Sehui and others, they all more or less saw the hidden secrets, and they all knew that every dish Zhang Fan made was not as simple as it seemed on the surface!
……

"Ibuzaki Jun!"

"What do you think?"

Isoko Hui turned to Jun Imusaki who was sitting next to him and asked.

"Strong!"

"And it's the kind of monster that's so strong that even I feel scared!"

Jun Imusaki replied calmly.

Even though he is usually taciturn and doesn't want to say anything in front of the public, he is very thoughtful in his heart!
From the moment he walked into the izakaya, he knew that this place was not simple.

After all, he dared to run an izakaya next door to Totsuki's graduates. If the owner didn't have a pair of brushes, he would not believe it.

however.

A cup of scented tea came first.

He immediately made Jun Imusaki feel extremely uneasy!

Afterwards, the crispy and tender tempura made him feel that the gap between people in this world could be even greater than the gap between humans and dogs!

He can make the humble tempura so delicate yet delicious.

I would like to ask all the Japanese chefs in Neon Country, how many of them can reach such a state and reach such a level?

It is conceivable that this shopkeeper Zhang is really a master of "pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger"!
……

"Senior!"

"How long do you think it will take to surpass him?"

Then, Jun Imusaki asked Isshiki Kei.

"It's you?"

"still me?"

Ise Hui was stunned for a moment!

"Do you think I can cook like this in my life?"

"Ok!"

"how to say?"

"Although my family is a famous one in the Japanese cuisine world, my favorite dish is not tempura!"

"On the contrary, I dare to conclude that the dish that shopkeeper Zhang is best at is definitely not the tempura Japanese dish in front of us!"

"So if it wasn't a head-on collision, it would actually be difficult to see through his overall strength!"

"but!"

"Go with my gut."

"If he gets serious, I'm afraid don't say it's me."

"Even Si Yingshi, the current number one among the Ten Elites, will fall into his hands!"

"As for when I can surpass him, you might as well ask me when I can replace Si Yingshi, and then we can talk about this topic!"

Looking at Zhang Fan who was still busy, Isekhui quickly looked away and spoke truthfully to Jun Imusaki.

"so."

"His identity is definitely not as simple as the owner of an izakaya?"

Jun Imusaki's expression was both surprised and confused.

"Hard to say!"

"Maybe he really is an izakaya owner?"

Yisekhui smiled mysteriously: "Yiwu, it seems that we have chosen the right address to hold the celebration banquet this time!"
