"Curry rice, it's curry rice again?"
When Asuna Yuki and Eiri saw the curry rice that Mu Fan brought to the table, they couldn't help but retched while covering their red lips, and almost vomited it out.
The beef curry rice that Mu Fan made that day was definitely the darkest memory among the dishes they had eaten since childhood.
When they think of the beef curry rice that day, their faces turn pale and they feel bad. Because of this, they have developed a phobia of curry rice. They can't help but want to vomit when they see curry rice. come out.
I even secretly vowed not to eat curry rice again.
It's really unpalatable, because after blending all kinds of spices, it's like taking a bite of spices. It's not an exaggeration to call this kind of dark cuisine.
But now, he actually came on stage with his own dark dish. Did he not win first place? Are he ready to disgust the judges
"Mu Fan, we really can't see through you."
When they thought about how they had just rushed to the food festival venue on their motorcycles, and Mu Fan was actually planning to bring out dark dishes to disgust the judges, Asuna Yuki and Eiri were both dumbfounded.
In the auditorium, Erina Nakiri looked at the egg-wrapped curry rice served by Mu Fan, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Curry rice, something like this, and the fragrant bamboo glutinous rice made by Hiyoshiko before, There’s definitely a gap between Eizan’s pizza and Geno’s most popular New Orleans beef burger, right?”
Not only Nakiri Erina, but even Dojima Gin and Shinomiya Kojiro on the field felt that this kind of cuisine could not be compared with the world-famous cuisine. At most, Mu Fan could get fourth place, and the top three were unable to Touched.
"With such a short time left, I can't make world-famous dishes. It turns out that a chef from the countryside can only make this low-level cuisine."
Geno from the American Cuisine Academy stood on the stage and couldn't help but sneered as he looked at the food Mu Fan made.
But just as he finished speaking, a sudden strange fragrance, like a moist sea breeze brought by the turbulent waves on the sea, swept across the entire competition venue almost instantly, even the audience sitting on the second floor of the auditorium was stunned. I smelled this wonderful spice.
"What?"
Geno looked towards the judging table in horror.
"So...it smells so good. What does it smell like?"
"Oh my God, it's so fragrant. Just smelling this kind of food can't help but increase your appetite."
At the same time, the scented air was absorbed into the nose, making all the audience stunned and speechless.
Suddenly, a loud shout came, and someone discovered the source and pointed to the judging table: "It's curry made with spices. Look, the judge Qian Tata Natsuya has already cut the egg roll curry rice with a spoon. This smell is exactly emanating from the curry rice.”
"It's the smell of fresh spices..."
At the same time, the recent Qian Tao Xia Ya was shocked when she smelled the familiar aroma of spices: "Using the wrapping of eggs to lock the aroma of spices in it during cooking, at the moment of opening it It’s such a wonderful idea to form a spice bomb.”
This alone is a perfect score for creativity.
Several other judges were also a little surprised.
It’s just that no one dares to use a spoon in their hands while enjoying the aroma of this spice bomb.
But with so many spices blended together, the spices are not equal when added together. Will it really be delicious
But when I smell the omelette rice, it doesn't have the pungent smell of spices mixed together. Instead, it has a familiar flavor. What exactly is this flavor
Not only the five closest judges, but also the audience present felt a familiar charm in their hearts.
But this smell was like an erratic cloud that they couldn't touch, and they couldn't remember where this smell came from in a short time.
The first one to take action was Qian Tao Xia Ya. She held the spoon with trembling hands and scooped a spoonful of curry into her mouth. The moment she entered the mouth, the smell of spices exploded in her mouth.
To her surprise, several kinds of spices were blended together. Not only was it not as unpalatable as she imagined, but it also had a mellow artistic conception. This taste prompted her to continue eating.
When the other four judges on the side saw Qian Hao Natsuya holding a spoon, they all subconsciously cut open their own egg-wrapped curry rice in the aroma bomb, took a spoon and scooped out a spoonful of curry. In the entrance.
As soon as they finished eating the curry rice, several people suddenly realized that they had become hungry inadvertently. The expression on his face became extremely complicated, and he took another spoonful of curry rice and put it into his mouth.
"Strange, why do the judges keep eating curry rice without talking?"
Everyone in the audience looked at the people on the judging table in astonishment, and started talking one after another.
"That curry rice looks so delicious, I want to try it too..."
Looking at the five judges eating curry rice happily, Kousaka Honoka couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
In the eyes of everyone's doubts, among the five judges, Shinomiya Kojiro was the first to raise his head: "The rice inside is actually wrapped with egg liquid, which makes the taste of eggs and rice perfectly blended. When you bite it, there is a hint of... The wonderful texture comes from adding eggs to the rice before making the curry rice, and using superb skills to completely blend the rice and eggs.”
Recalling the eggs that Mu Fan put into the pot before, they were not just eggs wrapped in curry, but also eggs were added to the rice to form the so-called golden rice.
There is nothing to fault in terms of texture and taste alone.
But this is not the end. Dojima Gin on the side said in a deep voice: "Moreover, the smell of spices hit my taste buds like a roaring wave. It seems that it was completely made by using the beef bone broth prepared by the previous contestants. It penetrates into the rice, and the pork is stewed with honey, forming the same small pot as the pineapple juice, making it tender and delicious, so at this moment, the curry rice almost blends into one, adding another portion to it Meaty.”
Although all the dishes are made with leftover ingredients, the taste is no worse than the first three.
At this moment, the five judges realized that what Mu Fan made was not a dark dish at all, but a dish full of whimsy.
“The curry is blended with cumin, fennel, nutmeg and butter, and the aroma is so mellow that you can’t help but immerse yourself in it.”
Qianhe Xiaya tasted the spices mixed in the curry rice, and suddenly, her mind recalled the past events of her childhood.
Qiantou Xia Ya was startled and stopped what she was doing. She seemed to remember the dishes her mother had stayed up late to prepare for her when she was hungry as a child.
That feeling of happiness and sweetness was something she couldn't forget.
But the time for her family to get together was always short-lived. She went out to work hard, and after she had worked hard to start her own career, the sad news came that her mother had died of a serious illness.
At this moment, Qian Tata Xia Ya finally caught the source of the familiar smell just now. The mellow flavor in the curry rice was the taste of her mother, coming from this simple egg-wrapped curry rice.
"This simple dish actually contains such strong emotions." When she came back to her senses, Qian Tao Xia Ya's crystal tears could not help but fall down her cheeks and fell to the ground.
Looking at Mu Fan standing in front of her, she was secretly shocked at this moment. She never thought that a boy under twenty years old could remind her of the familiar taste and taste of home through this simple dish. The mother who has passed away.
At this moment, she finally understood why this curry rice was blended with so many spices and was not pungent, but full of mellow flavor.
It turns out that the spices contain the aroma of Longjing, as well as the most important neutralizing ingredient, milk! Using milk to replace the time of breastfeeding as a child makes people unable to help but recall the past. It turns out that this egg roll curry rice has such a unique artistic conception.
At this moment, Qiantu Xia Ya finally understood a truth.
Yes, food is just something that fills people's stomachs. No matter how you evaluate whose food is delicious, it is just the vaguest definition of taste.
Just like a steamed bun can make people feel the deliciousness when they are hungry.
The most truly delicious cuisine in the world is only the most attentive and authentic cuisine that can awaken people's memories...
"The judges actually shed tears..."
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed when they looked at Qianhe Xia Ya, who had crystal tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Qian Tu Xia Ya looked at Mu Fan: "There is no milk on the market, and it requires extremely fresh and pure milk to neutralize so many spices. Where did you find it in such a short period of time?"
"secret."
In the past, oil was used to make the spices taste greasy and greasy. But just now, Mu Fan finally made a breakthrough with curry rice. He did not answer Qian Tu Xia Ya's question, but just glanced back at the rice on the field. In the trash can, there is a box of [Musashino] brand milk...
