Bring some Bankai ingredients to Shokugeki

When she heard the word curry leaves, Tadokoro Megumi suddenly understood.

"Ah! These are fresh curry leaves!"

Megumi Tadokoro looked at the fresh curry leaves with curiosity.

She had only seen dried curry leaves before.

This is the first time I have seen fresh curry leaves.

Next to him, Xu Kangping looked at the fresh curry leaves in front of him thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, for many spices, the fresh aroma will be stronger than the processed ones.

It's just because it's inconvenient to transport and store.

So it needs to be processed.

But he has storage space.

It's totally possible to preserve some fresh spices.

No need to worry about storage issues.

The more Xu Kangping thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

But let's talk about this after we leave here.

"Well, Tadokoro, do you know?"

Soma Yukihira looked at Megumi Tadokoro and asked.

"Ah."

Tadokoro Megumi nodded and continued to explain.

“Curry leaf seedlings are particularly poor in cold resistance.”

"It will dry up before winter is over."

“What’s available in the market are dried curry leaves.”

“Fresh curry leaves like this are hard to come by.”

It's not just a matter of price.

The point is that it is difficult to transport fresh curry leaves from tropical regions.

“This is also one of Run’s research topics.”

There was a hint of pride in Ye Shanliang's tone.

“Find ways to cultivate tropical spices domestically.”

“The use of freezing technology makes it possible to preserve spices for long periods of time.”

"And the successful extraction of new flavor ingredients, etc."

Ryo Hayama explained Shiomi Jun's research topic with some interest.

"You can't judge a book by its cover! The teacher is amazing."

Soma Yukihira looked at Shiomi Jun and praised him.

Although he looks like a junior high school student.

But unexpectedly very capable!

"I wouldn't be happy at all if you praised me."

Shiomi Junyan said insincerely.

Although she was happy to be praised.

But the person who praised her was Saiba Joichiro's son.

That would naturally make me happier.

"But it's true. Spices hold a lot of potential."

Xi saw Run become interested.

He put on his teacher's uniform, took out a pen and started writing on a whiteboard.

"Spice itself is composed of three elements: fragrance, spiciness, and color."

“The spices blended together create a synergistic effect.”

"Just as increasing the variety weakens the characteristics of each part."

"However, over-blending can produce an unpleasant smell."

“The limit is about 20.”

"And when it comes to blending spices, oil is indispensable."

"..."

Xu Kangping was listening to Xi Jianjun's explanation very carefully.

These are full of useful information.

Tadokoro Kei also took out a small notebook and started to write down the information.

"What's wrong with her that she suddenly starts giving lectures so excitedly?"

Soma Yukihira looked at Ryo Hayama beside him with a puzzled look and asked.

"This state won't stop anytime soon."

Ye Shanliang sighed.

He knew that once Xi Jianjun came, he would be in the mood to explain.

They will immerse themselves in it and talk about it endlessly.

After thinking for a while, Ye Shanliang looked at Xu Kangping, Yukihira Soma and Tanado Kei.

"But it would be faster if you experience it yourself!"

"Try it."

"Let me show you the secrets of spices."

Ye Shanliang shook the fresh curry leaves in his hand.

After all, he is a student from the academy who came to ask for advice on the knowledge related to Shiomi Run spices.

I must teach you something.

As for Xu Kangping and the other two, after they learn how to use spices, they will pose a threat to him in the autumn selection.

Ye Shanliang had no worries at all.

The use of spices is not that simple.

Even if he didn't hide his knowledge, the three of them would probably only learn the basics.

……

Xu Kangping and the other two followed Ye Shanliang to the cooking room.

Then Ye Shanliang started to get busy.

Soon, Ye Shanliang brought a meal to the three of them.

"First, the first dish."

“Thick butter chicken curry.”

“It’s a representative dish of South India.”

"I used the curry leaves from earlier to add flavor."

Ryo Yeshan explained this dish.

Then he gestured to the three of them to taste it.

"It looks very tasty."

Soma Yukihira couldn't help but say as he smelled the fragrance.

Xu Kangping next to him had already scooped up a spoonful of thick butter chicken curry and was ready to taste it.

As soon as I put the spoon to my lips, the rich aroma of curry leaves began to stimulate my nose.

With the spoonful of thick butter chicken curry in your mouth.

The aroma of curry leaves instantly spread in my mouth.

Then the aroma of peppers and onions followed and spread in the mouth.

A dish that goes perfectly with curry.

The most important thing is the strong application of spices.

At this time, Soma Yukihira and Emi Tadokoro were also very impressed by the rich butter chicken curry.

Looking at the expressions of the three people, Ye Shanliang was very satisfied.

“That’s the power of fresh curry leaves.”

“Fresh curry leaves release an aroma that is more than ten times stronger than dried curry leaves.”

Ye Shanliang explained casually.

Then it got busy again.

Soon another dish was served.

"Okay, next dish."

“Fish curry made with white fish such as swordfish and salmon.”

Looking at the fish curry in front of me.

Tadokoro Megumi was a little confused.

"Huh? Using the same curry twice?"

The curry smelled the same as before.

The colors don't seem to be any different.

The only difference is that one uses chicken and the other uses fish chunks.

“The props and spices used are exactly the same.”

"Please try them and see the difference between the two flavors!"

Ye Shanliang said lightly.

Both Tadokoro Megumi and Soma Yukihira became curious.

So I started tasting right away.

Xu Kangping naturally did not want to be outdone.

And after tasting.

The difference in taste between the two dishes was obvious.

“The latter one is more delicious!”

Tadokoro Megumi said with certainty.

"Yes, the latter one is to pan-fry the red bell pepper and cilantro first."

"Roasted spices, that is."

Ye Shanliang explained the technique he used.

“That alone makes such a huge difference!”

“The spice feels completely different, too.”

Tadokoro Megumi was very surprised.

It's just a change in the way the spices are processed.

I didn't expect the taste to change so much.

Soma Yukihira next to him remained silent.

At this point he was already feeling the pressure.

“This is the last dish.”

Ye Shanliang brought out another dish.

The rich smell of curry instantly attracted the attention of Xu Kangping and the other two.

"It looks no different from the first thick butter curry."

Megumi Tadokoro looked at the food in front of her with great confusion.

Can't tell any difference at all.

"No, it's completely different."

"The aroma of curry leaves is much stronger than before."

Soma Yukihira shook his head.

There must be a reason for this difference in scent.

Xu Kangping and the other two began to taste the food.

Compared to the first thick butter chicken curry.

The spicy impact of this dish is even stronger after it enters your mouth.

At the same time, the fragrance lasts in the mouth.
