“A variation of Italian tomato-based pan-fried fish steak?”

Zhao Youqian looked at the dishes in front of him and showed a smile.

“Although it’s just a different cooking method, there are a lot of things that need to be made up for!”

Although it is just a change between fried cod and steamed cod, the difference in taste is completely different. Pan-frying reduces the water content of the fish, concentrates the umami flavor of the fish, and brings out the rich aroma of oil inside the cod.

But steaming fish is different. Steaming is a cooking method that maintains the original flavor of the ingredients to the maximum extent and allows the moisture to be fully retained inside the fish. Steaming may even reduce the umami flavor of part of the fish due to the spread of water vapor.

This is also where the diving steamed fish made by Hojo Miyoko was deducted. Although the steamed fish seemed to be cooked perfectly, it was actually too hot!

At that time, the fish was tender and delicious, but part of the moisture and flavor inside it still leaked out, and it had to be replaced by other methods, which Miyoko Hojo failed to do.

Looking at the confident eyes of the two Aldini brothers, Zhao Youqian picked up the spoon.

First, I smashed the crispy pan-fried cod fillets, then mixed the cod skin with the sauce and fish meat, scooped out a piece with a spoon, and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Um?"

Showing a hint of surprise, Zhao Youqian nodded.

“It’s smart to use the steamed fish soup to baste the fish. I also added a little fish soup to the spicy tomato sauce, which complemented the taste of the cod itself, and the fried fish skin also played a rich role in the pan-fried fish. The flavor and texture are not always tender and smooth.”

"If you pass the test, I will give you an A-level evaluation!"

Seeing the two people smiling happily, Zhao Youqian sighed slightly.

"It's a pity that only one person in the audience had a chance to achieve A+, but...there was a problem with the finished product..."

Glancing towards the students who had finished, he shook his head.

"Teacher Zhao, why, is it impossible for our food to get an A+?"

Hearing Zhao Youqian's sigh, Takmi Aldini spoke dissatisfied.

"elder brother..."

Isami Aldini pulled his brother's sleeve. He knew that it was not a good thing to bump into the instructor in class, especially Zhao Youqian, who did not seem to be the type to talk easily.

"In the in-class test, it's good that you have mastered the test questions, but you need to know how to surpass the test questions!"

"Are those questionable ingredients really just traps?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Youqian stood up and came to the place that was so empty that only a few fish that had been found to have problems were left.

"Let me tell you how to get an A+ evaluation!"

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, what he was going to say now was the real theory he was going to teach today!

And just when Zhao Youqian stood up, a person who had been observing silently from the window outside the classroom finally turned and left.

She knew that Zhao Youqian's teaching would be smooth sailing from now on.

...

"Erina-sama, don't you want to read any more?"

Nito Hisako showed a hint of surprise. Looking at Kirie Rina who was running away quickly, he couldn't help but speed up his pace and chased her a few times.

"No, I just wanted to see if he would mess up. I didn't expect...he did surprisingly well!"

Kiri Erina's blond hair bounced with her footsteps, but her expression was not as relaxed as her words suggested.

'Zhao Youqian's approach is completely different from Yuanyue's regular teaching. It has already attracted the limelight. If the teaching style is incompatible with other teachers...'

Geniuses are humans too. Once isolated by other teachers, even with the support of the Qie family, it would be difficult for Zhao Youqian to open up the situation in Yuanyue.

Especially when other teachers exclude him, it is difficult to say whether students will continue to be convinced by Zhao Youqian because of his performance in the examination.

And Yueyue's current authority and ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are many voices within Yuanyue who do not want to change or reform.

Zhao Youqian has a good start now, but it is difficult to say whether he can transform these new students through his methods, or even survive the past three years.

'Humph, why do I think so much? I just hope he can hold on for a little longer and not embarrass the Che family!'

Unexpectedly, she thought of something else, and Kirei Rina's pace accelerated even more, heading towards her own cooking laboratory.

...

At this time, in the B-233 classroom just now, Zhao Youqian picked up a sea bass whose scales were still shiny, but the fish head was shriveled up a lot, and the eyes of the fish that should be moist when fresh were also sunken.

This is one of the freshwater bass that is often eaten, its scientific name is Largemouth Bass.

"This is the ingredient you gave up. Do you still remember why?"

Zhao Youqian glanced at the only candidate who chose this fish.

"Why did you choose this fish?"

When her name was suddenly called, the shy girl's face turned red, but she still spoke.

"This fish is not fresh, but the scales on the outside are still shiny, which means it is not rotten or broken. Although the eyes of the fish are no longer bright, I touched the inner cavity of the fish and found that it had a dry feeling. So I thought drying the fish overnight and then steaming it with sea salt and lemon would have a nice flavor..."

Hearing what the girl said, many students gave very different looks. When they were choosing fish, they did not seem to see what the problems were with the fish that were found to be problematic, nor did they check the discarded ingredients. .

Instead, an inconspicuous girl did this and got a special ingredient.

If they remember correctly, this girl received a B+ rating, which is second only to A.

And she... seems to be called Tasokoroe?!

"Yes, your idea is not wrong, and you have considered that when everyone is served steamed fish, the chewy and tough texture of overnight dried fish will make people feel a change, and let diners remember that the only There’s just something wrong with the way it’s handled!”

Zhao Youqian nodded, quite satisfied with this one of the heroines in the original work. Not to mention the basic skills, at least her breadth of thinking about cooking has surpassed all the students present.

"So now you watch, how I handle it!"

I saw Zhao Youqian directly placing the somewhat shriveled largemouth bass on the cooking table, first removing the scales with a knife, and then breaking open the abdomen.

Unlike other fish, the internal organs of this specially dried fish have been cleaned.

Zhao Youqian just scraped off the remaining blood clots in the inner cavity, then made a cut on the spine in the inner cavity, then used a paper towel to clean up the blood in the spine, and stopped moving.

Then he went to the fire and took out a pan.

Add oil and fry the cracked seabass directly!

Then while frying, start preheating the oven and steamer, lay a baking sheet with tin foil, and fill it with coarse-grained sea salt!

"What is this? Steaming fish?"

Many students whispered among themselves, not understanding what Zhao Yougan wanted to do.

Only Ziteng, the second person on the right, stood up. This was the first time he saw Zhao Youqian cooking with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
