Soumei Saito, who is currently the fourth seat, although he looks incredibly tall, his cooking skills are also very delicate, and the dish he specializes in is sushi.
In Japan, the development of sushi can be said to be very complete. As a dish that has always been extremely popular since ancient times, being able to make good sushi is of course even more valued.
Moreover, because of the wide range of sushi, basically no matter what ingredients are drawn, they can basically be used for sushi. But if you think that he only knows sushi dishes, then you are very wrong.
This is an extremely good offensive player, and the flavor of his dishes is also full of character. Although I knew from the beginning that this was not an easy opponent to deal with, now there is no reason to back down.
Komachi took a deep breath and then put her hand into the machine. A piece of paper appeared in her hand randomly.
[Butter]
Rather than a material, it is more like a seasoning. And to make a dish with butter, the difficulty is definitely not something ordinary people can imagine.
Seeing this lot, Ryoko and the others breathed a sigh of relief, because this kind of recipe would make Saito give up the possibility of making sushi, but that was all.
Saito still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, just smiled lightly after seeing the recipe:
"In that case, I'll make a rice dish."
Komachi: "Huh? What a coincidence, I was also planning to make rice."
Saito: "It seems like it's a very fair match. I like it a lot."
After both sides prepared their ingredients, this Food War officially began. Saito took the first move. After watching Komachi's duel with Hayama Akira, he was very sure that he could not let Komachi control the pace. Even as one of the Elite Ten, he couldn't guarantee what kind of mistakes he would make under that terrifying pace. So... the moment he saw the draw, he hardly hesitated.
Saito drew the large sword he was carrying on his back and instantly cut the orange in half. Hachiman, who had been watching the battle on stage, quickly noticed the abnormality.
Even though he was using such a large blade, his swordsmanship was so delicate wherever it went.
He was able to cut and squeeze the juice with just the blade. Such skill is simply unimaginable. Komachi, on the other hand, was just like before, only taking out rice flour and starting to rub it.
Yukinoshita: "What kind of dish is Komachi trying to make?"
Hachiman: "After boiling the soy milk in the pot, cut the rice cake into small pieces and put them into the pot, stir evenly until it melts, then season with black pepper and salt. The fake white sauce is done. Since she has gotten to this point, the dish she can make..."
Erina: "There are so many ways she could do it, why did she have to choose rice cake?"
Hachiman: "Well, you guys haven't tasted it after all. Perhaps only people who have really tasted the dish can understand it."
Both sides simultaneously put butter into the boiling pot. The rich and layered aroma instantly filled the venue, and the speed that Komachi has always been good at was perfectly shown at this moment.
Chicken, onions, shrimp and raw rice were processed at an extremely fast speed and then instantly put into the pot. The constantly tumbling ingredients were fried in the pot again and again.
On the other side, Saito sauteed the garlic cloves and poured in soy sauce, squid and squid juice. This seafood flavor will become more delicious with the butter as a base.
The most important part of cooking is about to begin.
If you don't pay attention, no one will notice that Komachi has unknowingly replaced the iron pot lid with a wooden pot lid. This small change will bring an absolute change to the dish, and the previous frying has completely turned into stewing.
At this point, the two people on the field are just like two swordsmen, holding on to their last cards and unwilling to make a move.
However, Saito just smiled calmly.
Since the other party is unwilling to make a move first, then he will open up the situation.
The moment the lid was lifted, the dish that was just being stewed in the pot looked completely different. The butter grilled frog, which was full of the rich aroma of butter and steaming hot, the stir-fried squid that constantly released the beautiful aroma of garlic and soy sauce, and of course, the most important, the round and plump salmon roe that seemed about to burst.
Hachiman: "It seems like this is not a duel that can be easily won..."
Takumi: "Why do you have so little confidence in your sister? I thought you would be more arrogant."
Hachiman: "After all, I have actually tasted that dish, and now if I compare it to Senior Saito's dish..."
There is no need to say more. Even an outsider can feel the terrifying aura that the dish constantly brings to people.
Kawashima Urara: "This is Senior Saito Soumei's butter seafood rice bowl. It looks so good."
Saito, who was not affected by Komachi's pace and even completed the dish ahead of time, has picked up his dish and walked towards the judging panel.
"Please enjoy, everyone on the judging panel."
The excellent plating, coupled with the aroma that burst out, made the judges' eyes light up. Eriri just gently broke it open and could feel more heat rushing towards her. As a judge, she could feel that her body was actually starting to look forward to it.
Just a small mouthful of rice sent into the stomach, the turbulent tide came again and again, taking the white waves of butter and the light of the seafood, constantly landing on the tip of the tongue. After just one bite, it was impossible to stop.
Butter, squid, salmon, grilled frog, pomegranate and ground cherry, orange and lemon, everything is so wonderfully matched. This is a special Christmas rice. The combination of various ingredients not only makes this dish no longer greasy, but the perfect use of butter is simply awe-inspiring.
Seeing that the judges had already begun to taste Saito's dish, Komachi was still not in a hurry. Perhaps this was because she had lived in such a crisis since she was a child, and now she was able to face such difficulties appropriately.
However...
Megumi Tadokoro: "It's a dish that's completely unrelated to sushi, but he still made it in this style. He's really a troublesome opponent."
Alice: "Well, but since the winner hasn't been decided yet, don't be too pessimistic."
Listening to Alice's words, Hachiman couldn't help but believe in Komachi. After all, she has grown now, and Komachi hasn't given up now, so perhaps it also means that she is still trying to make up for something.
Komachi: "Senior is really amazing, but... I can't lose here in order to not be looked down upon by my brother."
Under the gaze of everyone, Komachi took out her dish.
"Please enjoy it, everyone on the judging panel!"
"Hachiman-style Rich Butter Mixed Rice Inari Sushi."
Hachiman: "It's actually... sushi?"
He smiled lightly. He has such terrible observation skills that he can see every different place, but he trusts his sister too much.
The more you believe in the signals given by the brain, the more opposite results will appear in the end, and Komachi is like that.
After more than a year of not seeing each other, not only has he grown, but his sister will also embark on her own path on this road called life.
Turning a dish that was supposed to be fried rice into sushi, and daring to face the opponent's powerful field, I have to say... she is really amazing.
At this moment, even Hachiman truly felt that his love for Komachi in his heart had increased a bit. Of course, this is definitely not a brother complex issue.
Yukinoshita: "So that's it. The thing that was covered with the wooden pot lid just now was fried tofu..."
Erina: "Using mixed rice instead of vinegar rice to make Inari sushi, this powerful impact and aroma, is worthy of Komachi."
Saito: "You actually made sushi in front of me, and still under the theme of butter. I have to say, your courage is worthy of my respect."
"But the question is, what does this taste like? Let me see it with my own eyes."
As the judges put the sushi in their mouths, the flavor of the fried tofu was fully displayed at this moment. Unlike the moist and juicy traditional fried tofu, the mixed rice inside actually made corresponding additions and helped the fried tofu after frying and boiling. The freshness of the ingredients constantly surged like a spring. This terrifying comprehensive power is simply unimaginable.
Komachi: "That's right, that's right. One of the main principles of mixed rice is that you can't wash the rice, you have to put it directly into the pot and stir-fry it. And I also carefully removed the oil from the fried tofu in hot water before seasoning it. And when it comes to the one thing that can't be missing, it's naturally my special move made with soy milk and rice cake - white sauce."
Hoshino Ai: "So that's it. If you use butter and flour to make the white sauce normally, then the taste of this dish will become heavy. It has a thick flavor, but you can't detect any greasiness at all. The unique flavor of this white sauce plays an important role."
Eriri: "Not only that, but on this basis, you must have also drizzled several kinds of cheese on it and then put it in the oven to bake."
Togawa Saki: "Such a mellow taste, is finding the deliciousness of various ingredients elevated to the best state, put everything in it, the dish that is combined."
At this moment, the smile on Yukinoshita's mother's face became more prominent. Even Yukino and Haruno noticed: "Yes, it is indeed a very good dish. It is very outstanding in terms of both innovation and taste level."
You must know that after tasting so many dishes, this is the first time Yukinoshita's mother has given a rating other than 'not bad', which is enough to prove that this dish did exceed everyone's expectations.
Because all the hard work is shown outside the dish, this rare dish can definitely not be simply summarized in one sentence.
Saito: "You are very powerful..."
Komachi smiled lightly, but she was modest: "Actually, I know that I can't win against senior with just a knife, so I have prepared many weapons."
Saito: "No matter what, now that it has come to this, winning is winning. This is my determination."
Kawashima Urara: "Then the final result... the winner is, Hikigaya Komachi!"
Komachi, who won this game, has won two consecutive games, which once again ignited the cheers of the entire venue. For players who have won consecutive games, the knowledge and physical strength they have mastered are definitely far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
Hachiman: "You're really amazing, Komachi."
Komachi just made a big V sign towards Hachiman's direction. That smile, which was no different from usual, seemed to be telling everyone that at this moment, she Hikigaya Komachi, will be the most dazzling new star in the first year.
Erina was also amused by Komachi's actions. She just covered her mouth with one hand and said softly:
"If Komachi had entered school a year earlier, she might have been a good opponent. But... I guess there will be opportunities to fight again in the future."
Hachiman: "There will always be."
Komachi gently took off her headband and just let out a sigh of relief:
"Sorry for the poor reception."
At the same time, Haruno had to pay attention to this sudden opponent. As Hachiman's sister, Haruno just smiled lightly:
"Very interesting. Rindou, you go in the next game."
Rindou was not flustered. She just put her hands behind her back and said with an attitude of complete ease:
"Huh? Me? I was planning to watch it a little longer."
"But since Senior Haruno has said so..."
Xiaolin Rindou pulled up her sleeves and showed a winning smile:
"Then I'll do it. I'll definitely win!"
Even Kawashima Urara didn't expect that just shortly after the start of the competition, the Elite Ten had already sent out the second seat to fight. This is also Komachi's third game. If she can continue to fight consecutively, the momentum it brings is simply unimaginable. So, in order to curb this momentum, Haruno sent out Rindou.
After all, Haruno is not someone who would underestimate her enemies. Although her goal is not to win, but... if it ends like this, it would be too boring.
Hachiman: "Good luck, Komachi."
Komachi: "Then I'll continue! It's okay, brother, maybe I'll win all of them!"
Hachiman smiled lightly: "That kind of result would naturally be the best, but no matter what, don't underestimate your enemies."
Komachi: "I know, brother, you're so annoying!"
Kawashima Urara: "Then, the fourth game of the team Food Wars! Let's begin now!"
Komachi: "Let senpai draw the lots this time."
Rindou: "Huh? Can I? Thank you, Komachi. You're so cute. I'll be gentle later!"
Komachi: "....."
