Food Wars: My adoptive mother is Nakiri Managi Chapter 056

Goo goo goo!

Goo goo goo!

Erina’s stomach suddenly rumbled loudly in the hall.

She turned around, her face flushed, thinking of everything that had happened that night, enough to make her wish for a hole to crawl into.

“Haven’t eaten yet?”

Chu Yang blinked and said.

“Mm!”

Erina lowered her head slightly.

Her hands unconsciously clasped in front of her, her eyes flickering, with a hint of shyness.

“That’s perfect. The Headmaster and I haven’t had dinner yet. We were originally planning to finish this cup of fragrant tea and then head to a certain three-star restaurant in the city center.”

“But since you’re also hungry, how about I personally cook a delicious dinner?”

“Of course.”

“You can’t just stand there.”

“You have to come and lend a hand, help out!”

“Ah?” “ 497”

Erina heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had never thought that Chu Yang would voluntarily offer to make dinner, nor had she thought that he would also drag her along to act as a kitchen assistant!

…

In fact.

She had never seen herself as someone’s cooking assistant.

Especially when the other party actively proposed it, after all, with her God’s Tongue talent, she usually guided others as the head chef, not the other way around.

But at this moment, the confidence and composure emanating from Chu Yang’s words made her want to see:

Him!

What kind of dish could he lead her to cook?

“Alright, since you insist, I’ll reluctantly help you out.”

After much thought, Erina couldn’t hide the excitement bubbling in her heart and said.

“OK.”

“Then follow me to the kitchen!”

With that, Chu Yang got up and walked straight out of the hall.

Erina also stood up, tidied her clothes, waved goodbye to the Headmaster, and then hurriedly followed behind Chu Yang!

In front of Chu Yang, Erina’s usual haughty demeanor would quietly change.

Her words were no longer as sharp as a blade, and every subtle movement revealed a unique care and obedience towards Chu Yang.

Mm!

What about Chu Yang?

He seemed to be able to capture this deeply hidden emotional fluctuation from Erina.

He responded with an almost doting patience, whether it was a gentle reprimand or unintentional care, it made the Headmaster in front of him feel an indescribable warmth and harmony!

And such a scene formed a stark contrast to the image Erina had previously displayed in front of others!

At this moment.

Witnessing the backs of the two, gradually fading into the distance.

The Headmaster’s eyes revealed a few traces of emotion and relief.

He knew that in this tumultuous and complex culinary world, it was truly rare to encounter such a relationship that allowed them to let down their guard and show their true emotions.

So he shook his head gently, a meaningful smile playing on the corner of his lips, and murmured, “The relationship between these two is truly unfathomable, yet inexplicably beautiful.”

“Perhaps, this is what they call ‘one thing conquering another’?”

…

It is said that basketball players don’t eat “Sanbuzhan” (three no-touches).

Because Sanbuzhan means the ball doesn’t touch the backboard, doesn’t touch the rim, and doesn’t touch the net… anyway, it just doesn’t go in.

In the past, egg whites in large restaurants were usually used for stir-fried shrimp with egg white or similar dishes, while the leftover egg yolks were developed by chefs into Sanbuzhan and given for free to regular customers!

In short.

In the past, ingredient costs accounted for the bulk.

But labor was cheap, so there were many elaborate dishes.

This is naturally a world of difference from the so-called fast-food era of today!

Sanbuzhan, of course, has nothing to do with basketball. To put it plainly, it’s stir-fried egg yolk, stir-fried starch, stir-fried sugar, and… playing with fire.

If you watched the whole process, you would feel that the chef’s hands were performing magic.

A basin of mixed egg yolk liquid would turn into a soulful ball in just five minutes.

The egg yolk was cooked, but the sugar couldn’t be colored, the starch couldn’t be caramelized and crispy, all the moisture had to be forced out, and even though a lot of oil was added, it couldn’t taste greasy…

Therefore.

The dish Sanbuzhan.

It is actually very interesting, but both the taste and the difficulty of completion are very high.

Especially in terms of taste, to make it amazing, to satisfy even the God’s Tongue, that is probably harder than climbing to heaven!

… (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In the kitchen.

Chu Yang, this magical “culinary magician,” was already dressed in a neat white chef’s uniform…

And standing beside him was Erina Nakiri, who possessed the God’s Tongue.

She was also wearing an elegant chef’s uniform, her golden hair gently tied up, and her exquisite face had those charming eyes.

Erina placed the egg yolks into a large bowl, adding dry starch, white sugar, and warm water. []

She beat them evenly with chopsticks and then strained them through a fine sieve.

Chu Yang, on the other hand, placed the wok over medium heat, added cooked lard, and heated it.

He poured in the egg yolk mixture prepared by Erina and stirred it quickly.

When the egg yolk mixture became pasty, he then slowly added cooked lard to the wok while continuously stirring with a ladle.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The spatula in his hand danced lightly.

Every contact with the bottom of the wok was just right, neither too much force nor lacking precision.

Even with the subtle rotation of his wrist, the egg yolk paste, a mixture of egg yolk, sugar, and oil in the wok, began its magnificent transformation!

…

Constantly tossing the wok.

This is the key to making Sanbuzhan.

And in just a few minutes, Chu Yang’s wok-tossing movements were incredibly smooth and rhythmic.

Finally, the ingredients in the wok no longer stuck to the pan, reaching the highest state of “three no-sticks”:

Doesn’t stick to the plate.

Doesn’t stick to the chopsticks.

Doesn’t stick to the teeth.

The egg yolk paste became soft and resilient, with a bright yellow color.

“Eh?”

“Really?”

“This… this egg yolk paste, it actually doesn’t stick at all?”

Erina, standing beside him, stared in astonishment.

This dish requires precise control of the heat; it needs to be cooked over high heat until it becomes pasty.

Then, it’s pushed and stirred over medium-low heat, using both hands—one for stirring and the other for drizzling oil—without a moment’s rest, requiring at least four to five hundred stirs.

The color of the dish must change from light yellow to pale yellow, then to earthy yellow, with the egg yolk, lard, and starch completely integrated. Generally, it takes 5 to 7 minutes of stir-frying to be considered successful.

Moreover, the entire process is prone to sticking to the pan, making it a truly laborious task.

…

The philosophy of life for the people of the Celestial Dynasty.

Who knows when it became deeply embedded in cooking?

A good father, when his child first learns to walk, always gently pushes them, then encourages them to grow, and before they venture out into the world, he always gives them a few knocks before letting go.

And this is just like the Sanbuzhan dish:

Exactly the same!
