Gourmet Style Beast Taming - Chapter 237: Shredded Meat

Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Shredded Meat

Translator: 549690339

Inside the competitive standard kitchen, the two Spirit Chefs carrying out the Food Fight are fervently cooking their respective dishes. On the judges’ seats, the seven judges are murmuring amongst themselves.

I didn t expect this Food Fight to be conducted in transparent mode.” One of the judges remarks, a hint of delight mingling with his surprise as he curiously watches the two contestants cook, chuckling, “At least we don’t have to wait idly for the dishes to be done.”

“Indeed, the waiting process during the Food Fight evaluations in the past could be quite boring.” Another judge nods in agreement, “It’s fine if there’s no one in the audience seats; we can find ways to pass the time. But if there are people in the audience, we have to maintain our image.”

“Speaking of which…” The third judge glances towards the audience seats, The one participating in the Food Fight this time is Shen Qian, the granddaughter of Mr. Shen He, right? It seems that Mr. Shen He takes it very seriously, even coming to watch in person.”

“Shen Qian won the championship in our Yue Hu City-level Cooking Competition a year ago. By now, she has collected at least two second-level Food Recommender badges. Her strength cannot be underestimated.” Another judge starts slowly, “Do you recognize her opponent?”

“I don’t.” The judge who spoke earlier shakes his head slightly, “Because of Leaping Fish Banquet, there have been many new faces from other cities, and even other states, recently. Maybe this is one of them.”

If Mr. Shen He came to watch in person, I suppose the opponent’s strength won’t be weak either.” The main judge slowly interjects, listening to the whisperings of his colleagues, “Let’s observe patiently.”

The judges nod in agreement, again turning their focus towards the two contestants who are in the middle of their cooking.

In the center of the field, aided by the spicy Cooking Acceleration, the marinating time of the pork tenderloin strips is greatly shortened. In less than a minute, Qin Lang once more picks it up and pours it into the slightly smoking hot oil.

Accompanied by soft oil sounds, the enticing aroma of the meat slowly rises in the hot air, leading Dan Bao and Spicy to swallow their saliva after sniffing it.

On low heat, when the portion of pork tenderloin strips that had been submerged in the hot oil has turned from tender pink to greyish white, Qin Lang uses the back of the spatula to lightly press and rotate, separating the pork strips from each other. He then quickly stirs them to ensure they are completely cooked.

Waves of strong aroma follow, causing Qin Lang and the two small spirits to reveal an intoxicated expression on their faces.

Even though they had eaten this many times before during practice, this pure meat aroma is just as appetizing and irresistible.

After straining the oil from the pork tenderloin strips, Qin Lang adds a thin layer of oil again, looking at Shen Qian’s actions while heating it up.

On seeing this, his face immediately shows a hint of surprise.

The bright flame he saw just now has significantly subsided.

A layer of fine pebbles is spread on the grill, and the surface of these pebbles has turned slightly red under the scorching high temperature.

Even though the competitive standard kitchen isolates the temperature, Qin

Lang can still imagine how hot it must be inside the kitchen where Shen Qian is.

But facing such high temperatures, Shen Qian remains unfazed.

Next to her, a Food Spirit is pouring shimmering points of light into Shen Qian’s hands. Under its support, Shen Qian swiftly slides a marinated beef slice across the surface of the pebbles, so fast that it creates an afterimage.

“Sizzle–”

Only after the slice of beef has left the pebbles do the residual fats on the surface of the pebbles ignite small flames.

Food Skill ? Speed Boost.

This is a Food Skill that, like Skillful Strength Support, gives support to a Spirit Chef’s hands, but the direction of the support is different.

Under Qin Lang’s astonished gaze, Shen Qian flips over the beef slice and slides it across the surface of the pebbles again.

One round trip barely takes a breath’s time.

And the slice of beef she is holding has completely transformed from its original deep red, with enticing patches of brown appearing. As the slice is slightly tightened, the juice inside the meat is locked in.

So this is Red Cooked?

Qin Lang feels he has gained new knowledge again.

This method is somewhat similar to the grilled sausages with volcanic stones from his past life. They both use heat-conducting pebbles to indirectly heat up the ingredients.

But the principles are different.

Pebbles that have been heated to a slight red color are terrifyingly hot.

Under such temperatures, even a momentary delay could lead to the ingredients being overcooked and inedible.

The opponent’s technique was not purely flashy, rather it held significant practical meaning.

The rapid searing to induce the Maillard reaction could seal the juice and tenderness within the beef to the maximum extent. When compared to the open flame, the heat from the pebbles undoubtedly offered a more uniform distribution.

It was indeed an interesting technique.

As he watched the opponent prepare the remaining beef in the same way, Qin Lang redirected his attention, adding two large spoons of sweet wheat paste into the already heated thin oil, and started stirring and frying.

Stir-frying paste?

On the other side, Shen Qian was constantly watching Qin Lang’s moves while cooking. Noticing Qin Lang’s actions, she placed the piece of cooked beef in a plate by the side and turned her gaze towards Qin Lang.

Right from the beginning of the competition, she had noticed that peculiar large jar on Qin Lang’s table.

It clearly didn’t resemble any seasoning she was familiar with, which suggested it was a homemade sauce made by Qin Lang.

That sauce was finally being put to use, sparking a curiosity in her heart about its flavor.

She was looking forward to the session for tasting each other’s cooking.

With thoughts humming in her mind, Shen Qian continued her cooking.

The process for Red Cooked Beef Slices wasn’t complicated, but it did require a good level of skill.

The work of seasoning was already completed during the marinating process. After Red cooking, the presentation was simple, and the dish was ready. There was a sense of complexity hiding in the simplicity.

Even though Qin Lang had the Food Skill of Cooking Acceleration, Shen Qian was confident she could keep up with his pace.

Meanwhile, Qin Lang’s cooking was nearing completion.

After frying the sweet wheat paste in hot oil to bring out its strong aroma, he added a little ginger scallion water, stirring it evenly. Then he returned the previously oil-drained pork tenderloin strips back to the pan for stirring and frying.

Once every piece of the pork tenderloin strip was evenly covered with a layer of sweet wheat paste, he took it out of the pan carefully arranging the Beijing Fried Pork Fillet on top of the shredded green onions that were prepared earlier.

Done with the Beijing Fried Pork Fillet!

“The rice is ready too.” Qin Lang opened the rice cooker that had been cooking rice from the start, scooping out eleven servings of rice and placed them alongside the Beijing Fried Pork Fillet in the kitchen cabinet car.

Seven servings were for the judges, one for Shen Qian, and the remaining three were for him and the two little ones.

“Ding dong???? ”

A prompt sound echoed within the Competitive Standard Kitchen.

Qin Lang glanced at Shen Qian, who had already pressed the “Cooking Completed” button, and had stepped out of the Competitive Standard Kitchen, pushing her cart. He couldn’t help but smile wryly.

He was a step behind.

But it didn’t matter much.

“Let’s go, it’s time for us to set off.”

Qin Lang rubbed the heads of the two little ones and pushed the cart out of the kitchen.
