Soulless food? Then I'll add it now!

"Mashed potatoes? Why does it have such a texture and taste when it's just potatoes!"

When Minezaki heard the secret behind why this "crispy barbecue" is so delicious, his mouth was slightly open with an expression of disbelief.

Because if Soma Yukihira didn't reveal the answer, she wouldn't even be able to tell that this was not a meat dish.

The meaty aroma is different from ordinary meat, but it has a special taste of extremely fragrant meat. If you say that this is a dish cooked with high-quality meat ingredients, Minezaki would not even have a trace of doubt.

But now Soma Yukihira told her that, apart from the thick-cut bacon on the outside, the main ingredient of this "crispy barbecue" was actually extremely cheap potatoes.

"If it's just potatoes, it won't work. I steam the potatoes first, mash them into mashed potatoes, and then mix them with mushrooms, which are rich in fiber and can absorb fat.

Then, chopped onions are added to add sweetness, and thick-cut bacon is wrapped around it. Finally, it is put into the oven, so that the surface of the bacon becomes crispy and delicious, and the potatoes and onions inside fully absorb the flavor of the bacon and pork, which makes it so real that it is indistinguishable from the real thing. "

While Soma Yukihira was explaining, Minezaki and a few of his men had already shared and eaten up the not-too-small portion of "crispy grilled meat".

Looking at the empty plate in front of him, Feng Qi, whose appetite was temporarily satisfied, suddenly changed his tone and said, "That's right, the food you served is indeed delicious. Even I have to admit that this is one of the best dishes I have ever eaten.

But your dish, apart from the thick layer of bacon on the outside, can hardly be called a meat dish, right?"

As if he had expected Minezaki to do this, Soma Yukihira tied the white headband on his head back on his arm. Just as he was about to say something, Seiya, who was also holding a plate, slowly walked out of the kitchen.

"You seem to have forgotten that the proposition you proposed at the beginning was a delicious and juicy meat dish.

The so-called meat-flavored dishes refer only to dishes that have the taste of meat, but they do not necessarily have to be made with meat ingredients.

In other words, as long as we can make other ingredients taste like meat, then it will meet your proposition."

As Seiya spoke, he placed the food he had cooked directly on the table in front of Minezaki.

However, when Minezaki saw the food that Seiya served, his originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

The so-called cuisine cannot escape the iron rules of color, aroma and taste. Since it has not been common yet, let’s not talk about the taste for now.

Color refers to the overall appearance of the dish, including the presentation and other factors. Seiya's dish looks pretty good.

The plump and juicy beef was cut into even-sized pieces, as if they were copied and pasted, which showed how exquisite the knife skills were.

The emerald green onions mixed in with the beef cubes not only added a touch of color to the dish itself, but Seiya also learned the Western style of plating, arranging the beef cubes in distinct layers, like a small mountain, and the fried green onions looked like green pines in the mountains.

“I have to say, judging by the presentation alone, I can give this dish a high score.

Although I don’t know much about flower-growing cuisine, I know that most of the dishes there focus on the temperature of the dish itself.

It can be seen that although you spent some effort on the presentation, you also sacrificed the temperature of the dish.

This also makes this dish, which has lost its temperature and soul, like a third-rate dish without taste. "

Seeing the food that Seiya brought out, Minezaki felt relieved.

If she loses to Soma Yukihira, at most she will lose her job due to her incompetence, but if she loses to Seiya, she may really lose everything and even have to go into the adult industry to pay off her debts.

But now she is not worried at all, because although Seiya's food looks good, it is cold and not warm at all, and it is not as fragrant as the "crispy grilled meat" that Soma Yukihira served before.

And even if we take a step back, even if Seiya's dish tastes good enough to rival Soma Yukihira's "crispy grilled meat", Minezaki will not be shaken by it.

Because she had eaten Soma Yukihira's "Crispy Grilled Meat" before, she now had a certain sense of fullness and had a certain resistance to delicious food.

So now she is confident that even if Seiya’s cooking is as good as Soma Yukihira’s, she can still grit her teeth and say “it’s unpalatable”.

“The dish I made is called Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions. As you said, it is indeed a dish that requires heat.

As a home-cooked dish, stir-fried beef with green onions doesn't have so many requirements, but in order to prevent the "superior people" who came from nowhere from finding fault with it, I deliberately arranged the dish in a fancy way.

I admit that the dish sacrificed some of its flavor due to the presentation, but I will not admit that the dish lacked the warmth you mentioned. "

As Seiya spoke, he took out another bottle of high-concentration liquor and poured some of it evenly on the food. Finally, he lit a match and directly ignited the high-concentration liquor.

“Wow——————!”

As the highly concentrated liquor was ignited, flames suddenly started to burn from the food that Seiya had made. Under the burning flames, the beef cubes that were originally piled up suddenly exuded an enticing meaty aroma!

Under the high temperature given by the white wine, the beef began to secrete gravy, and the green onions became even greener and more juicy under the burning flames.

More importantly, the dish that Minezaki originally described as having no temperature, now under the enchantment of fire, not only restored its soul, but was even further sublimated.

White wine can not only make the meat more tender and delicious, but also increase the flavor and give the dish a refreshing aroma of wine.

At this moment, just by smelling the aroma of meat in the air, Minezaki even clamped his legs together, and his expression began to turn red.

"Okay, my cooking is now completely done. It's a home-cooked dish of beef with green onions. Although I've made some changes, it shouldn't be a big deal. Please enjoy it..."

Seeing the chopsticks handed over by Seiya, Minezaki reached out to take them unconsciously. The moment Seiya poured white wine on them and lit them, Minezaki knew clearly that this dish was completely different from the previous one.

The stomach, which was originally slightly full because of Soma Yukihira's "Crispy BBQ", now once again silently protested to her.

Minezaki also understood that once he ate Seiya's food, things might turn into an irreversible situation. However, as he watched the flames in front of him gradually subside and the food exuding an enticing aroma, Minezaki couldn't control his body and slowly stretched out the chopsticks in his hand.
