Bring some Bankai ingredients to Shokugeki

After another two days of train travel, we finally arrived at the location of the third exam.

As soon as they got off the bus, the students had no time to stretch their stiff bodies.

The examiner of the third exam appeared in front of everyone.

Lecturer Oda came forward with a friendly smile, looked at the students and spoke gently.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'm Lecturer Oda."

"From now on, everyone can relax a little."

"Because we have three days to prepare for the third exam."

"Everyone can use this time to have a good rest."

After hearing this, some students' tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, Xu Kangping couldn't help but mutter something when he saw Lecturer Oda with a smile on his face.

"Smiling tiger."

That sounds nice, but when did Totsuki Academy become so kind?

Now that you've started your third exam, want to take a break?

After dropping out of school, you can continue to rest.

Lecturer Oda had no idea what Xu Kangping was thinking, so he looked at the students and continued speaking.

"Now, let me announce that the ingredients for the third test are—wild boar."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a slight discussion among the crowd.

Instructor Oda didn't care, but raised his voice a little to make sure all the students could hear what he was going to say next.

"Of course, the academy will be responsible for providing wild boar meat for the trial."

“But everyone has a certain limit.”

"Also, on the day of the duel, we will prepare perfectly cut, bled, and aged wild boar meat for you to use."

"As for the other ingredients, you will need to collect them yourself."

"And the evaluation method uses a 100-point system."

"Students who score 60 or above can pass the third exam."

“I hope everyone can come up with delicious dishes by then.”

After explaining the rules, Instructor Oda waved his hand.

"Those are the rules. Everyone can go and rest now."

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

Lecturer Oda left decisively.

However, the students did not disperse immediately. Instead, they all became very nervous.

There is absolutely no thought of taking a break.

Obviously, none of these students could feel relaxed about this question.

In this regard, Xu Kangping could understand the students' current situation.

In fact, wild boar meat has a firm texture.

The meat flavor is indeed stronger than pork raised on ordinary farms.

But in reality, few chefs choose to use wild boar meat as an ingredient.

The root of the problem lies in the fishy smell of wild boar meat that is difficult to remove.

You should know that wild boars grow in a vast natural environment, and their food sources are complex and diverse. Grass seeds, wild fruits, roots and even some rotten food may become their stomachs.

This greatly affects the taste of wild boar meat.

Moreover, wild boars are very active, running back and forth through the mountains and forests every day in search of food.

Such high-intensity exercise causes the wild boar's meat to accumulate rich flavor substances, including a fishy smell.

Not only that, the sweat glands of wild boar meat are more developed than those of ordinary farmed pigs.

In hot environments or under stressful conditions, wild boars secrete sweat with a special smell.

This sweat seeps into the meat, further deepening its already fishy smell.

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

I want to make wild boar meat delicious.

The first and foremost problem is how to completely remove the fishy smell of wild boar meat.

After all, in the world of Food Wars!, people's sense of taste is very keen.

Even the slightest fishy smell can be tasted.

Therefore, it is necessary to completely remove the fishy smell.

Of course, some people may like this taste.

However, most people obviously don't like the fishy smell.

But obviously, the key point of this exam is how to remove the fishy smell.

However, not everyone can completely remove the fishy smell.

However, for Xu Kangping, this problem is still easy to solve.

He could easily eliminate the fishy smell of wild boar meat by using unscientific special methods.

But now we have three days to prepare.

Xu Kangping decided to put aside the idea of ​​using special means for the time being.

Try to overcome this difficulty with cooking techniques alone.

With his cooking skills, he can definitely do it.

After making the decision, Xu Kangping walked towards the area where the ingredients had already been prepared.

After standing still, Xu Kangping began to carefully examine the wild boar meat provided by Totsuki Academy.

From the surface, these wild boar meats have basically undergone preliminary processing.

Just when Xu Kangping picked up a piece and put it close to his nose and smelled it gently.

The strong fishy smell still attacked his nostrils unrestrainedly.

Xu Kangping frowned slightly.

"The fishy smell is so strong, it will take some effort to remove it."

But there was no sign of retreat in Xu Kangping's eyes, instead there was a gleam of confidence.

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

Holding the piece of wild boar meat, Xu Kangping came to the cooking table.

My mind quickly recalled methods to remove the fishy smell of meat.

Soaking method:

Soak the meat in clean water for several hours, changing the water several times.

If you add some white vinegar or cooking wine to the water, you can better neutralize the fishy smell.

However, Xu Kangping knew that simply relying on soaking in water could have a certain effect.

But that was regular meat.

If you want to completely remove the fishy smell of wild boar meat, you need to soak it for at least a day.

However, long-term soaking will make the originally firm meat become loose and affect the taste.

Blanching method:

Place the meat directly into cold water and bring to a boil over high heat.

This not only effectively removes blood and hidden impurities, but also makes the meat firmer.

Make the meat more chewy in subsequent dishes.

If you don't blanch the meat for a long time, it will still be difficult to remove the fishy smell of wild boar meat.

If the wild boar meat is blanched for a long time, the nutrients in it will be lost.

In addition, you can also use the pickling method.

Through carefully prepared marinade, the fishy smell of the meat can be gradually removed and a unique flavor can be added.

Or during the cooking process, use various seasonings to remove the fishy smell.

It can also be cooked with vegetables.

The freshness of vegetables can further neutralize the fishy smell of meat.

The smoking method is also within Xu Kangping's consideration.

Smoked meat will have a unique smoky aroma and reduce the fishy smell.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Kangping decided to try various methods to process the wild boar meat.

Finally, find the best way to deal with it.
