A Shalyapin Steak Bowl isn't just about the meat; it's a dish where meat and rice are served in a single bowl.
When making a Shalyapin Steak Bowl with high-grade dream ingredients, the overly delicious meat can easily overshadow the rice.
It's clearly not good if the Shalyapin Steak Bowl only has delicious meat but ordinary rice.
Before, like you, I was too focused on competing with you on meat ingredients, so I overlooked this point until I was reminded by someone else, and then I realized it.
The Frozen Wild Bull meat used in my Shalyapin Steak Bowl was simply seasoned with red wine and onions, and then not overly processed, because as a dream ingredient itself, Frozen Wild Bull meat already has top-tier texture and flavor.
In this food wars!, I put more thought into cooking the rice, after all, it's not an easy task to pair rice cooked from ordinary rice with super high-grade meat.
Yukihira Soma said this while carrying a wooden barrel to the stove and opening it in front of Nikumi and Erina.
As soon as the wooden barrel was opened, Nikumi and Erina smelled a fragrant aroma.
Besides the unique smell of rice, this fragrance also carried a sweet and sour taste, as well as an astonishing savory aroma.
I use a wooden barrel to cook rice, which is what's called 'wooden barrel rice,' and rice cooked this way can maximize the aroma of the rice.
The rice is not cooked with water, but with a rich broth made from chicken beforehand, plus a little beef fat rendered from Frozen Wild Bull.
Finally, the sweet and sour taste you smelled, the answer is this.
Looking at the red granules in Yukihira Soma's hand, Nikumi also exclaimed, "Preserved plums?"
That's right, I added preserved plums to the rice, which not only gives the rice a unique flavor, but preserved plums also have an appetizing effect, which can make diners' appetites wide open.
After seeing Yukihira Soma reveal all the mysteries, Nikumi looked at her own garlic rice, then at Yukihira Soma's broth and preserved plum rice, and immediately lowered her head.
She didn't lose this food wars! unfairly; leaving aside this Shalyapin Steak Bowl showdown, she overlooked the issue of the rice.
The fact that the opponent put so much effort into the rice, but only simply processed the meat, was enough to be on par with her meticulously cooked meat, and on that point alone, she had already lost.
Erina Nakiri, I am very sorry, I lost this food wars! showdown...
Facing Nikumi's bow and apology, Erina didn't even glance at her, but turned her gaze to the audience and slowly walked towards the Polaris Dormitory residents.
As the youngest Ten Master, and with multiple halos such as 'God Tongue' and 'Director's granddaughter,' Erina Nakiri is always the center of attention wherever she goes.
Therefore, her unusual behavior at this moment naturally captivated everyone's attention.
It's you, isn't it? You gave Yukihira Soma the dream ingredients and helped him point out the problems with his cooking, didn't you, Wenren Seiya!
When Erina Nakiri slowly walked in front of Seiya under everyone's gaze and looked at him directly, asking this question, Seiya, who had not been particularly noticeable, naturally received everyone's attention.
I think you must have misunderstood; like Chuang Zhen, my family just runs a popular restaurant, a pure pauper, how could I afford such expensive dream ingredients.
As for guidance or anything, that's even more nonsensical; I'm just a passerby...
Feeling the curious and doubtful gazes around him, Seiya only felt a wave of trouble.
Although he wouldn't stay in Totsuki Culinary Academy forever, he also didn't want to be constantly picked on by others while he was there.
In Seiya's opinion, Yukihira Soma's collective taunt at the opening ceremony was completely idiotic behavior, purely asking for trouble.
Didn't he see how many people wanted to cause him trouble after he had only been in Totsuki for so long?
Of course, as the protagonist, he needs some minor characters to set him off and contribute experience packs; there's nothing wrong with that, but that's the script for the Son of the Plane, Yukihira Soma, and Seiya just wants to live a low-key life!
Seiya hadn't watched much of food wars!: shokugeki no soma, but if he remembered correctly, wasn't Erina Nakiri the female protagonist?
Your damn script is about love-hate with the male lead; shouldn't you be provoking Yukihira Soma right now? What are you doing coming to me!
Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it; you'll be returning to Totsuki for the upcoming training camp, won't you?
Then, in this training camp, I, Erina Nakiri, will definitely prove that I am the number one student of Totsuki's 92nd generation!
After delivering such a declaration of war, Erina Nakiri turned elegantly and left with Hisako, leaving behind a large group of shocked and somewhat bewildered onlookers.
Did you just hear that? That 'ice witch' actually declared war on that person?
Who is that person? He looks very unfamiliar; is there such a person among Totsuki's 92nd generation students?
And the name Wenren Seiya, why do I keep feeling like it sounds familiar?
Idiot, he's the legendary Special Student who made the Director personally visit him and captivated the Food Demon King and God Tongue with his cooking!
Erina Nakiri was already like a superstar in Totsuki Culinary Academy, and thanks to her, Seiya, who was originally just a nobody when he first arrived at Totsuki, instantly became the center of attention after her actions.
Originally, the protagonists of today should have been Yukihira Soma and Nikumi, who were having the food wars!, but Erina Nakiri's declaration of war, coupled with Seiya's legendary title of 'Special Student,' instantly changed the male and female protagonists of the scene.
Yukihira Soma is like that, and Erina Nakiri is like this; are these male and female leads all so competitive?
And even if they want to compete, they could wait until the training camp; do they need to announce it on such an occasion?
Erina Nakiri and Hisako left without a care, but Seiya's trouble greatly increased, because many Totsuki students were already curious about him, the 'Special Student.'
Everyone originally thought it was just a rumor, but hearing Erina Nakiri's attitude towards Seiya just now clearly proved that the rumors they had heard before were all true.
It is well known that the 'ice witch' is quite proud; for her to declare war on someone so seriously means that the 'Special Student' indeed possesses the strength to make Erina Nakiri take him seriously.
Totsuki students present, whether out of curiosity, malice, or the desire to make connections, also walked towards Seiya's location after Erina Nakiri left.
That Seiya guy really knows how to steal the spotlight no matter where he is.
Damn it, today was supposed to be my show-off moment!
The food wars! between Nikumi and Yukihira Soma had ended; Yukihira Soma had originally wanted to shame those who didn't think highly of him, but now he found that no one at the scene seemed to care, because their focus had already shifted.
