Bring some Bankai ingredients to Shokugeki

Xu Kangping and three others were chatting.

Suddenly an enticing fragrance came.

This made Xu Kangping and the other three focus their attention back on the center of the venue.

“Coriander seeds, fennel, oregano… a blend of over a dozen spices!”

"It should be a very pungent scent, but it seems quite mellow!"

"Slightly sweet with a fragrant aroma!"

“Perfect spice combination!”

Erina Nakiri said with some admiration.

So many spices are used.

It's not easy to strike a balance.

It is obvious that Ye Shanliang is very confident in himself.

"Yayama Ryo is indeed very good at using spices."

Xu Kangping followed up.

His current mastery of spices is still somewhat inferior to Ye Shanliang's.

However, Xu Kangping is still very confident that he can surpass Ye Shanliang.

After all, with the continuous evolution of gourmet cells.

His five senses have now been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, spices are only one factor in whether a dish is delicious.

"Hmm, why has Kurokiba become so quiet right now?"

"Is it because of the cheers from the crowd that you feel pressured?"

Soma Yukihira looked at Kurokiba Ryo with some confusion.

He had seen the duel between Kurokiba Ryo and Tanadore Megumi before.

At that time, Kurokiba Ryo seemed very irritable.

And it was the same before.

But now it suddenly became quiet, which naturally made Soma Yukihira a little confused.

"He didn't hear any cheers!"

Alice Nakiri looked calmly at Kurokiba Ryo in the center of the venue.

This made Erina Nakiri and Soma Yukihira look at Alice Nakiri with some curiosity.

And Alice Nakiri explained it very straightforwardly.

"Ryo-kun's entire senses are focused on the color of the ingredients being grilled, the sound and aroma of the juicy meat, and the weight of the eel!"

"Now he only cares about what's inside the frying pan!"

After hearing this explanation, Erina Nakiri and Soma Yukihira turned their gazes again to Kurokiba Ryo in the center of the venue.

At this time, Kurokiba Ryo finally took further action.

He poured a large amount of red wine directly into the pan.

"Kurokiba is going to make 'French Fish Stew' after all."

Erina Nakiri showed an expression that said, "As expected."

From the beginning, she guessed that Kurokiba Ryo was going to make 'French fish stew'.

"French fish stew?"

Soma Yukihira looked confused.

Needless to say, Soma Yukihira didn't understand this practice.

"It's a cooking method of stewing fish in red wine."

Erina Nakiri explained casually.

This method can be used to cook many types of fish.

Eels are no exception.

Soma Yukihira nodded, not quite understanding.

"I see!"

At this moment, Xu Kangping suddenly pounded his hand.

At the same time, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"I wonder why Kurokiba chose to use white wine eel!"

“Although baijiu has a mellow taste, it is a bit spicy.”

“However, when mixed with red wine, the spicy taste of white wine is neutralized while retaining its mellowness!”

“Combined with the fruity aroma of red wine, it creates a comprehensive flavor profile.”

"That's why Kurokiba chose to use white wine eel to prepare this dish."

In fact, Xu Kangping only remembered this after seeing the red wine poured into the frying pan by Kurokiba Ryo.

The main thing is that, apart from that time at the Food Research Institute, he usually only comes into contact with cooking wine.

Naturally, I didn't think that white wine could be mixed with red wine to form a comprehensive flavor.

"is that so!"

Soma Yukihira looked a little confused.

He usually comes into contact with less alcohol.

There is basically no understanding of the situation of mixing white wine with red wine.

“In fact, many cocktails are made by mixing white wine with red wine and exported.”

Alice Nakiri explained with a smile.

She stayed abroad for a long time.

Compared with island countries, there are not many restrictions on alcohol in foreign countries.

"It turns out cocktails are made by mixing white wine with red wine!"

Soma Yukihira smiled, feeling that he had mastered new useful knowledge!

Then Soma Yukihira turned his gaze to the center of the venue.

"Huh? Didn't we just cut open the eel?"

"Closed again?"

Soma Yukihira looked at the eel in the frying pan in front of Kurokiba Ryo with some confusion.

Even after being stewed in red wine, it didn’t separate!

"It's the net oil that wrapped the eel."

“Fry it later.”

"That way the eels can stay in their original state."

“At the same time, the oil will make the eel’s flavor more intense and enhance the flavor impact.”

Xu Kangping explained casually.

"Net oil is the netting that covers the internal organs of cows and pigs!"

Soma Yukihira said thoughtfully.

He had heard of this, but had never used it before.

"That's very Ryo-kun's style!"

Alice Nakiri said with a smile.

The impact of Kurokiba's cold dishes is extraordinary.

..............................

Under the gaze of everyone.

Ryo Hayama finished his cooking first.

'Abyssian duck!'

The rich fragrance enveloped the entire venue.

Then Ryo Yeshan presented the dish to the five judges.

The caramelized honey is evenly spread over the duck meat.

The color is as bright as the warm sunshine in autumn, sparkling with charming light.

"The duck meat, coated with spices on one side, exudes an enticing aroma."

Kadozaki Taki took a deep breath.

This rich aroma seems to have magical properties.

She couldn't take her eyes off this delicious dish.

“I feel like I’m melting just by smelling this.”

"What would happen if I put this in my mouth?"

There was a hint of anticipation on Kikuchi Enka's face.

She couldn't wait to taste it.

Dojima Gin said with a smile.

"Well, let's start the tasting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dojima Gin took the lead in picking up the knife and fork.

He began to cut the duck meat with skillful movements.

As the knife fell, the duck meat was neatly cut.

Then the duck meat is put into the mouth.

The other four judges were not to be outdone. They picked up their knives and forks and started tasting the food.

The moment the tender duck meat enters your mouth.

A pungent fragrance pierced their bodies like a spear.

The taste buds are awakened by the strong aroma.

Even after swallowing the duck meat, the intoxicating aroma still lingers in the nose and mouth for a long time.

The flavor of the spices is even richer, with a stimulating spiciness, a soft sweetness... and a light onion fragrance emanating from the duck meat!

These flavors strike a perfect balance with the duck meat, blending and complementing each other.

Creating an intoxicating taste feast.

Ye Shanliang was very satisfied with the performance of the four judges.

But he turned around and looked at Kurokiba Ryo.

Ye Shanliang's expression couldn't help but become serious.

He did not feel any fear from Kurokiba Ryo, but instead remained full of fighting spirit!
