Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

light.

Falling down like silk.

In an instant, the Phoenix was covered with a layer of golden gauze.

Its feathers were like gold, and began to shine with dazzling light, like carefully carved works of art!

At the same time, its body is slender and elegant, and its head is held high, showing a proud and noble posture.

"Glow!"

"Cooking actually glows?"

Dojima Gin couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the phoenix that was shining brightly in front of him.

This phenomenon, which was particularly contrary to scientific principles, once again made his head buzz.

But when he turned his head and looked at the extremely calm commander next to him, he quickly calmed down.

Um!

Maybe?

This shop owner must have some kind of super power.

Just like the commander-in-chief's "clothes bursting" skill, which allows his clothes to burst when he tastes delicious food, does he have a skill that can make the food shine?

…

Then, just when Dojima Gin fell into random thoughts.

The entire Phoenix Crystal Cuisine's light gradually faded away.

Zhang Fan, who has sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly sprinkled some sugar juice on the "eyes".

In this way, a "thrilling" phoenix truly appeared in front of everyone.

If you look closely, you will see that the red feathers are all bean sprouts wrapped in sugar.

Then, the entire body and skeleton are carefully carved from potatoes, and the final tail is made from carrots, cabbage, and purple onions.

In other words, the entire phoenix is ​​made of these ingredients.

Coupled with the luminous effect, it really shocked all the diners of the izakaya, including Dojima Gin and the commander-in-chief!

It is no exaggeration to say that the ingredients used in the entire dish are really very simple, nothing more than:

Bean sprouts!

Potato!

carrot!

Chinese cabbage!

Minced meat!

But it was just these ingredients that were finally spliced ​​together into a phoenix.

The fiery red and turquoise tail feathers, as well as the lifelike figure, all demonstrate the majesty of the phoenix as the "king of birds".

Let me ask you, who doesn’t like this kind of food?

…

"I see"

"Every ingredient is showing its maximum value."

"Like the entire phoenix's feathers, they are actually made up of bean sprouts spliced ​​together one by one."

"The skeleton and the backbone of the body are made of potatoes, while the tail is made of carrots, cabbage, and purple onions...Interesting, really interesting. This is simply a very artistic and beautiful cooking work!"

In fact, compared to the exquisite image of Phoenix.

As the chief chef, Gin Dojima pays more attention to the various ingredients in the cuisine.

Therefore, he has been looking at this Phoenix Crystal dish and began to gradually analyze why Zhang Fan used these ingredients to match it?

Of course.

Just observe with the naked eye.

In fact, it is difficult to peek into all the secrets of this dish.

So, after thinking for a moment, Dojima Gin quickly took his chopsticks, picked up a few bean sprouts, stuffed them into his mouth, and started chewing slowly.

When the commander-in-chief on the side saw this, he just showed a faint smile, and then he also used chopsticks to pick up a few bean sprouts and taste them carefully.

…

Crunch!

As soon as it entered the mouth, there was the sound of bean sprouts being chewed.

The delicate and elastic bean sprouts pop in your mouth immediately, giving you a crispy feeling.

This feeling is indeed unexpected.

To be honest, when they watched Zhang Fan weave a phoenix with bean sprouts, both Gin Dojima and the commander-in-chief were very surprised in their hearts.

It’s not that the ingredients like bean sprouts are good, but the technique of weaving and splicing is so delicate that it’s so exaggerated that it’s not an exaggeration to describe it even by a millimeter!

You know, although bean sprouts have a "fresh" and "crispy" taste.

Especially after Zhang Fan has removed the head and tail of the bean sprouts, leaving only the slippery trunk, it is indeed easier to weave.

However.

although.

Even if it uses potatoes as its trunk.

It is still very difficult to use bean sprouts to form an exquisite phoenix.

…

"hiss!"

"What is this kind of texture that collapses in your mouth..."

At this time, Dojima Gin, who had just taken a bite, had his eyes widened by the crispy texture before he could taste it carefully.

The bean sprouts had a very crisp texture, but they were not so chewy that they would instantly fall apart in his mouth, so he quickly continued to chew them with his teeth.

"Meat?"

"There's minced meat inside, no, it's minced meat!"

"Could it be that in every bean sprout, he...he stuffed minced meat?"

At the end, Gin Dojima, who was completely enlightened, was shocked!

Just removing the heads and tails of the bean sprouts and then splicing them into phoenixes is an astonishing amount of work.

If Zhang Fan hadn't made some preparations in advance, I'm afraid he might not be able to make this dish if he was given another two hours.

But that's not the point. The point is... he actually stuffs minced meat into every bean sprout.

The workload brought by this bizarre idea is destined to be very heavy, and even Dojima Gin feels a little creepy.

Then, the layer of sugar juice attached to the outermost surface of the bean sprouts quickly and slowly opened in his mouth, and he could taste another taste in an instant: sweetness.

Anyway.

This dish is called Phoenix Crystal.

It seems that they only use simple ingredients, but when you actually taste it, you find that there is something really wonderful inside!

"Amazing, really amazing."

"In order to improve the crispiness of the bean sprouts, I actually thought of adding seasoned minced meat inside, and then boiling the mung bean sprouts in water."

Until this moment, Dojima Gin was completely convinced.

After all, no chef would dare to think like this, let alone Zhang Fan, who would spend a lot of energy to complete it slowly.

"oh?"

"It's not minced meat, it's minced meat!"

The commander-in-chief next to him seemed to understand something after hearing Dojima Gin's analysis.

If a successful dish wants to make diners have a sense of appetite, it must make breakthroughs in the three aspects of color, aroma and taste.

Obviously, Zhang Fan's Phoenix Crystal Cuisine has reached an extreme level in these three aspects.

The bean sprouts are paired with the sweet minced meat, leaving diners with a lingering aftertaste in the end, which is smooth and addictive.

Yes! That's what it feels like.

As long as you taste and carefully analyze the flavor lingering on the tip of your tongue, the commander-in-chief will feel particularly happy and satisfied!
