Food Wars!: God's Tongue is no match for me.

You can also add some preserved mustard greens, pickled vegetables, or other side dishes.

It further enhances the flavor profile, making it suitable for those who prefer rich and complex flavors!

The newly obtained system rewards:

Gyudon cuisine.

It features a Japanese sweet and savory flavor, with the key being the tenderness of the fatty beef and the richness of the sauce.

Sliced ​​beef, seasoned and then cooked with shredded onions, allows the sauce to penetrate the meat. Paired with slightly sweet rice, this creates a layered flavor profile that is both savory and sweet.

Overall, the flavor should be suitable for people who prefer a light or sweet taste!

……

In short.

Although both dishes use meat and rice as their main ingredients, their focuses are completely different.

Why think so much?

"The more recipes you know, the more negative effects it will have; on the contrary, it will be beneficial to your personal growth and development!"

Lin Xu was probably quite sleepy at this point.

After his initial shock, he stretched, yawned, and then went straight to sleep.

So far!

That night, nothing more was said.

……

Early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Today is the first day of the new semester at Totsuki Academy.

Those students who successfully progressed from the elementary school to the high school, as well as transfer students like Soma Yukihira who got in through connections—cough cough—other means—from today onwards, they will all face numerous challenges and difficulties here!

As the school bell rang, Lin Xu's "first lesson" as an instructor from Totsuki Academy officially began.

"Good morning!"

"Everyone, I think you all know me by now, right?"

"After all, I used to be a lecturer for third-year elementary school students, and standing here on the podium, I do see quite a few familiar faces."

Lin Xu's appearance immediately caused a sensation.

All that could be seen was a cacophony of noise echoing throughout the entire cooking classroom.

"what!"

"Just as I expected!"

"The most popular lecturer among female students, Mr. Lin, is now in charge of teaching the first-year students in the senior division!"

"what? What?"

"I just transferred to Totsuki this year, so I don't know what's going on yet?"

"That's right, it's him! He's so handsome!"

"He's so romantic!"

"His eyes are so captivating!"

"Yes, that's a legendary lecturer who can even conquer the Tongue of God."

"Wow, waaaah... Mom and Dad, I'm so glad I can come to Totsuki! There are such excellent instructors here!"

Seeing this, Lin Xu was speechless.

A girl is usually shy when facing a man, but a group of girls facing a man fully demonstrates the saying "there is strength in numbers."

……

"All right."

"Quiet down, everyone."

"It's class time now, and I don't want the first class of the new semester to be such a mess."

Lin Xu spoke calmly, his magnetic voice possessing an irresistible air of authority.

The excited female students quickly calmed down.

"Isn't that Mito Ikumi?"

Lin Xu, standing on the podium, habitually looked around.

But they unexpectedly discovered a hot girl with a single tuft of hair on her head, slightly tanned skin, and a slender figure in the corner of the cooking classroom.

"What a coincidence?"

"I just got the beef bowl recipe last night."

"So, in today's class, I'll be assigned a student who's good at cooking beef?"

Lin Xu muttered to himself.

……

"Cough cough!"

After a moment of reflection, he pretended to cough twice.

This caused all the students present to look at him. Seeing this, Lin Xu then said seriously, "Food is about combining theory and practice. And the culinary courses in the higher education department often focus on practical experience."

"So, if you fail the test, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, he quickly wrote two words on the whiteboard:

Beef don!

"Beef rice bowl?"

Mito Ikumi, sitting in the audience, was stunned for a moment.

The reason she was stunned was that someone like her, who often deals with high-end meat products, felt that dishes of this caliber shouldn't be taught in Totsuki's practical courses.

……

The earliest donburi.

It is probably "Una-don" that originated in the Edo period.

This involves placing grilled eel on top of rice.

Later, with the birth of tempura in the Edo period, and the lifting of the ban on meat during the Meiji period and the subsequent introduction of the method of making fried meat cutlets.

Donburi has gradually evolved into various styles, such as tempura, katsudon (fried pork cutlet), oyakodon (chicken and egg), and gyudon.

Beef don!

It is widely known.

It basically started with Yoshinoya.

That's right, it's the Yoshinoya fast food brand.

Don't assume that a fast food brand is low-class. On the contrary, the reason why beef bowls are popular in Japan is precisely because of Yoshinoya.

Although beef bowls existed as early as the late Meiji period, it was Yoshinoya that pioneered and led the way in making them a fast food and popular throughout Japan decades ago.

Later establishments like Sukiya and Matsuya could only be considered followers at best.

In fact.

Gyudon (gyudon bowl) is popular in Japan.

It's not because it's particularly sophisticated in its production.

More importantly, it's affordable, convenient, and suits the tastes of Japanese people.

Therefore, the entire beef rice bowl dish isn't particularly mysterious, nor is the selection of ingredients very demanding. After all, Yoshinoya uses frozen shaved beef slices, not some high-grade Wagyu beef.

……

"All right."

"The specific information about the recipes is written clearly on the whiteboard."

"You must replicate the beef bowl dish exactly as I have described within one hour."

After Lin Xu finished speaking, all the students present got busy.

The tall and slender Mito Ikumi slowly approached the kitchen counter. Her neat short hair swayed slightly with her movements, and her eyes revealed focus and determination.

She first carefully selected a piece of high-quality beef. Upon closer inspection, the beef had clear marbling and a rosy color, with each muscle layer seemingly proclaiming its pride as a premium ingredient.

Followed by.

He steadily lifted the beef with both hands.

Gently place it on the counter, its watery eyes seeming to be examining a rare treasure.

Whoosh!

Take a very sharp kitchen knife from the knife rack.

The blade gleamed with a cold light under the lamplight, seemingly possessing a sharp edge.

Afterward, Mito Ikumi adjusted the position of the beef, held it firmly with her left hand, lightly gripped the knife handle with her right hand, and with a slight exertion of her wrist, she cut into the beef with a smooth and flowing motion, following the grain of the meat.

……

As the blade continued to move.

Thin slices of beef, as thin as cicada wings, are neatly arranged on the plate next to it, resembling delicate flower petals, radiating an enticing sheen.

"Excellent knife skills!"

"His understanding and handling of meat is indeed superior to that of other students."

On stage, Lin Xu watched the entire scene of Mito Ikumi processing beef and couldn't help but nod in approval.

Prepare the onion and ginger by slicing them into strips.

After making the sauce, simply mix all the necessary ingredients together.

Next, start frying the topping. First, put a little oil in the pan, then add ginger slices and beef and stir-fry until the beef turns gray and the surface is slightly charred.

Sauté the onions in a pan until softened, then pour all the sauce into the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.

Place the cooked rice in a large bowl, top with the beef, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Then, drizzle in a little sauce.

And there you have it, a steaming bowl of beef bowl!

……

Slightly sweet onions.

A savory sauce.

A faint aroma of rice wine.

It's no exaggeration to say that this classic Japanese-style seasoning is quite similar to the seasoning principles of many dishes from the Jiangnan and Guangdong regions of China, for example:

Claypot rice with sesame oil, steamed fish soy sauce, etc.

Therefore, when you take a bite, you won't find that the beef bowl is very different from the seasoning of everyday Chinese dishes, nor will you find any unacceptable foreign flavors. In fact, it may even make those who like salty and sweet flavors unable to stop eating it.

For carnivores.

Whether it's regular beef rolls or Wagyu beef slices.

The aroma and texture of beef slices can actually satisfy all your imaginations about fatty and creamy flavors.

The thinly sliced ​​beef, with its delicate, lean texture and satisfying mouthful, truly tantalizes the taste buds and the tip of the teeth.

A bite of beef.

A spoonful of sauce.

Then, that mouthful of fluffy rice soaked in the broth.
