Food Wars!: God's Tongue is no match for me.

Then, he stepped out from the crowd and shouted back, "Why should I?"

"This residential training program hasn't even started yet, and I haven't participated in any of the assessments. Why should I be deemed unqualified and forced to withdraw from the program?!"

Hairspray!

Shinomiya Kojiro said coldly:

"That strong hairspray scent can affect and interfere with the sense of smell."

"As a chef, don't you know that you can't use such a strong hairspray when making food?"

"therefore."

"You don't need to take the exam anymore."

Upon hearing this, the entire room immediately fell silent.

Everyone present held their breath, a nameless fear instantly gripping their hearts.

They never expected the examiner to be so strict, disqualifying a student simply because he used scented hairspray.

……

Maybe.

This is the harsh reality of residential training programs.

Every detail can be the key to success or failure.

Every new student must remain vigilant at all times and cannot afford to be complacent. After all, in this fierce competition, only those students with true ability and perseverance will emerge victorious.

Finally, the opening remarks concluded successfully.

This highly anticipated residential training program has finally begun amidst everyone's eager anticipation.

……

Far Moon Palace.

The atmosphere, which was originally filled with a mixture of tension and anticipation, was instantly activated and became lively.

With their own thoughts swirling in their minds—some excited, some apprehensive—the students headed towards their assigned areas, where the first challenge of this training program was quietly awaiting them.

Time slowly passed, and the scene shifted to a spacious and bright kitchen filled with the aroma of ingredients and the passion of cooking.

In the cooking room.

The stoves were neatly arranged, and various cooking utensils gleamed with a metallic sheen under the lights.

The examiner, Fuyumi Mizuhara, stood tall and straight in a neat chef's uniform, her gaze as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the group of students who were busy at work.

In the assessment system for residential training programs, each assessor has a high degree of autonomy.

They can meticulously design the questions for each test and assessment according to their own wishes and unique ideas.

Not only that.

They can also base their evaluations on their own rigorous and personalized criteria.

It is necessary to clearly define how students should operate and what standards they should meet.

have to say.

This unique assessment method.

It is a test of the examiners' professional competence and aesthetic taste, as well as a challenge to the students' adaptability and creativity.

……

This time.

The test question given by Fuyumi Mizuhara was:

Italian cuisine.

Pasta, a traditional Italian dish.

It may seem simple, but it actually contains endless culinary secrets and flavor possibilities.

It's like a blank canvas waiting for students to paint with their creativity and skills, testing their understanding of ingredients, their control over flavors, and their mastery of cooking techniques.

In the general public's perception.

Compared to the raw, wild flavor of steak, salad has a refreshing and cool taste.

It seems that only a steaming plate of pasta, accompanied by a rich and fragrant sauce, can perfectly satisfy the stomach's craving for comforting food.

And as those slender noodles, coated in rich sauce, slide down your throat, warmth and satisfaction instantly bloom on your taste buds...

It's as if all the weariness and worries...

They all vanished!

Of course, many people enjoy pasta for many reasons beyond that.

In today's era that emphasizes healthy eating, the unique glycemic index advantage of pasta has become one of the important factors that makes it so popular.

……

The so-called glycemic index.

It refers to the relative rate at which carbohydrates from a certain food cause a rise in blood sugar within two hours after entering the body under standard quantitative conditions.

This indicator is crucial for people who are health-conscious and control their diet, for example:

When the glycemic index is below 55.

This food can be considered a low-sugar food, and its effect on blood sugar is relatively mild.

When the value is between 55 and 70, the food is a medium-sugar food.

When the value is above 70.

This food is high in sugar, and consuming it may cause a rapid rise in blood sugar.

Pasta, a common noodle ingredient, typically has a glycemic index between 45 and 50, making it a top choice among low-sugar foods.

Even more remarkably, the glycemic index of pasta decreases further after it has been cooked and cooled.

this means.

Even while enjoying delicious food.

It can also better control blood sugar levels and reduce health risks caused by blood sugar fluctuations.

……

Besides.

Pasta also has many irresistible advantages.

It has a very chewy texture, with a unique elasticity and chewiness, unlike some ordinary noodles that are easy to become mushy or clump together when soaked.

This characteristic.

This makes pasta ideal for long-term refrigeration.

Even if it's not made and eaten immediately.

It can also maintain a good taste and flavor.

This is undoubtedly a huge boon for busy office workers.

They can prepare pasta a day in advance and bring it to the office the next day. During busy work breaks, they can simply heat it up to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal, injecting plenty of energy into their day!

Because of these advantages, pasta has become increasingly popular in recent years and has become a common dish on the dining table.

It can be found on the exquisite menus of upscale restaurants as well as on the simple dining tables of family kitchens.

……

now.

The kitchen was bustling with activity.

The students were busy at their workstations, some focused on chopping ingredients, some carefully controlling the heat, and others intently stirring the sauce.

Amidst this lively scene...

Erina Nakiri, sitting in the audience, was like a shining star, attracting a lot of attention.

This is a highly regarded genius girl from Totsuki Academy.

They possess an innate, exceptional sense of taste and superb culinary skills.

She stood gracefully in front of the control panel, her eyes revealing a composure and confidence beyond her years.

Erina first took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then began cooking methodically.

……

First, boil a pot of water.

Once the water boils, gently add a small spoonful of salt.

Salt dissolves quickly in water, adding a base flavor to the pasta that follows.

Next, she slowly placed the pasta into the pot and set the cooking time for ten minutes. During those ten minutes, she didn't rest; instead, she quickly turned around, picked up a sharp kitchen knife, and began preparing the other ingredients.

The kitchen knife danced quickly and rhythmically on the cutting board, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

You can tell.

Erina's knife skills are skillful and precise.

The sausage was quickly cut into even pieces in her hands, each piece being the perfect size, as if it had been carefully measured.

With her skillful knife, the cherry tomatoes were cut in two, instantly revealing their tender flesh and juicy flesh.

Garlic slices!

It was sliced ​​as thin as a cicada's wing.

The red bell peppers were chopped into small pieces.

Every cut undoubtedly demonstrates her profound knife skills.

……

10 minutes of time.

In the blink of an eye, the pasta was cooked.

Erina Nakiri quickly scooped out the pasta and put it into the prepared cold water to cool it down.

This step may seem simple, but it is actually crucial.

Cooling the pasta makes it more chewy and also stops the heating process quickly, preventing it from becoming overcooked and mushy.

Next, she boiled some water and began processing the snow peas.

While waiting for the water to boil, she turned her gaze to the stove beside her.

at this time.

The oil in the pan is already hot.

She calmly put the sliced ​​garlic into the pot.

With a sizzling sound, the garlic slices quickly released a rich aroma in the hot oil, filling the entire kitchen.

After the garlic slices were sautéed until fragrant, she added the sausage slices to the pot.

The sausage slices come into close contact with the hot oil in the pan, quickly turning golden brown on both sides and emitting an enticing aroma of meat.

Next, add chopped red bell pepper and diced tomatoes. The vibrant color of the chopped red bell pepper and the sweet and sour aroma of the diced tomatoes blend together and stir-fry in the pan to create a rich sauce.

Subsequently.

She put the blanched snow peas into the pot.

Several ingredients danced merrily in the pot, as if putting on a delicious dance.

……

At last.

Erina puts the cooled pasta into the pot and quickly stirs it evenly with a spatula.
