"No technical skill whatsoever, huh."
Hoshino Sora chuckled inwardly. After perfectly combining the chocolate and corn and letting it cool, he directly tossed it into the crispy batter next to him. The so-called crispy batter was essentially cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and water. By mixing these ingredients in the correct proportions, one could obtain a bowl of crispy batter that would make fried foods crunchy.
He mixed the corn chocolate sticks evenly with the crispy batter, then heated a wok with ample oil. When the oil reached 70% heat, he put them in to fry until golden and crispy, then took them out. After the oil temperature rose again, he refried them.
"He actually combined Molecular Cuisine with stir-frying, but won't such high oil temperatures cause the molecular corn to explode? Wait, the presentation is actually so perfect!?"
Looking at the golden and crispy corn sticks on Hoshino Sora's plate, Alice Nakiri's face showed a hint of surprise. She had personally watched him transform the corn into molecular corn.
Logically speaking, such high oil temperatures should have caused the molecular corn to explode directly, but now, not only did the corn sticks not explode, but even the chocolate wrapped inside was only slightly melted.
"The oil pouring method. Hoshino-kun first quickly fried the corn sticks in the pot for a few seconds to set their shape, then took them out with a slotted spoon and poured hot oil over them in the air. With this alternating hot and cold exposure, the pressure inside the corn sticks isn't as great, but the outside becomes golden and crispy."
Hearing Alice's question, Erina gently explained. Although this guy had high attainments in Molecular Cuisine, in ordinary cooking, she couldn't understand many basic techniques.
She could only say that after returning, she needed to train her skills in this area well, temporarily abandoning Molecular Cuisine to learn stir-frying. She couldn't leave obvious weaknesses!
"So that's how it is."
Hearing Erina Nakiri's words, Alice showed a look of sudden understanding. If that was the case, then everything made sense. As expected of Hoshino-kun, as expected of her man, his mind was just so clever!
"Golden Sand Corn, huh. It's a very conventional dish, but why is this guy so good at Chinese cuisine?"
Crossing his legs and arms, Dragon BuFan watched Hoshino Sora cooking the Golden Sand Corn, a slight anomaly surfacing in his heart. Although he wasn't participating in the competition, because the other party used Chinese cuisine, he inwardly hoped he would win.
"I checked this guy's information. He defeated Lei Yuhang in the Autumn Elections last year and is a very capable young man. In just one year, he grew to become Totsuki's First Seat."
Mo Huang spoke from the side. Because she was eliminated early, wanting to contribute to Oriental Academy, she compiled all the participating contestants' information to increase Dragon BuFan's chances of winning.
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Now, only Dragon BuFan remained from Oriental Academy. The mission on his shoulders was heavy. If he lost, then their Oriental Academy would truly have no connection with this legendary cooking utensil.
At that time, they thought that with BLUE being held in the small country of Neon, Totsuki Academy's strength being mediocre, and not many strong chefs from other countries, sending their four was already more than enough.
However, what no one expected was that.
First, Noir emerged out of nowhere, then Totsuki rose unexpectedly, and the Dark Cuisine World, which was already considered a strong rival, also performed steadily. Suddenly, it became a four-way struggle.
Now, it depended on whether this guy in front of them could eliminate Saiba Asahi. If he eliminated him, then the situation would change from a four-way struggle to a three-way struggle.
"That kid Lei Yuhang, it seems he hasn't been eliminated yet, but his sister wasn't so lucky. In the last match, she directly encountered Totsuki's Dean and was crushed and lost the competition."
"Totsuki's new Dean is very strong. I estimate she's also a top ten figure on the Oriental Cuisine List, and all her dishes are original. Her creativity is incredibly astonishing!"
When Erina Nakiri was mentioned, a rare look of caution appeared in Dragon BuFan's eyes. The other party's strength was evident to all, and defeating her would by no means be easy.
And then there was this Hoshino Sora. He still couldn't see through him. Although he made some classic dishes, they were improved classic dishes, and their taste was better than the original.
While the difficulty of modifying dishes was lower than creating original ones, making a modified dish taste better than the original was truly a technical skill, and it also required a high understanding of the original dish.
Let's see what the judges say.
Dragon BuFan watched Hoshino Sora's dish with piercing eyes. At this moment, there were only three minutes left until the end of the competition. Compared to him, Saiba Asahi had already served his dish first.
'Da da da' footsteps echoed across the spacious competition venue, bringing an inexplicable sense of pressure.
