It burst across my tongue, rushed up through my nose... ... and rose all the way up to my brain!\" \"No! It can't be!\" \"How is that possible?! Anyone with eyes can see there's nothing special to that dish! Its fragrance was entirely inferior to Asahi's dish from the get-go!\" \"That there. That's what it is. I knew something wasn't right.\" \"Asahi?\" \"Something felt off the instant the cloche was removed. His dish is fried rice. It uses tons of butter, soy sauce and spices. Yet it hardly had any aroma!\" \"Good catch. The secret is in one of the five grand cuisine dishes I melded together... A slightly atypical take on the French Oeuf Mayonnaise. .\" \"Ouef Mayonnaise, or eggs and mayonnaise, is an appetizer you can find in any French bistro. Hard-boiled eggs are sliced, coated with a house-blend mayo and garnished with vegetables. Though, in your dish, I can tell you chose very soft-boiled eggs instead. Hm. Very interesting, Soma Yukihira. He took those soft-boiled eggs and some homemade mayo and blended them into a sauce... ... which he then poured over his steamed rice and tossed until each and every grain was coated, its flavor sealed inside! To cook them so that each individual grain is completely covered... ... takes incredibly fast and precise wok handling over extremely high heat! No average chef could manage that feat! \" \" Whaaa?! Ah! It's so thin I didn't notice it at first glance, but there it is, a very slight glaze! That makes each of these grains of rice a miniature, self-contained Omurice ! The moment you bite into them, that eggy coating is broken... ... releasing all the flavors and aromas of the dish onto your palate in one explosive rush!\" No wonder! That's what entranced the judges. That sudden, powerful explosion of flavor! \"Yep! Even when it's served, my dish still hides its fangs. Only when you bite into it does it bite back with all it's got.

If I am correct... ... the secret to this sauce is honey and balsamic vinegar .\" \"Got it one, sir! Both ingredients have a mild sweetness that adds a layer of richness to the dish. The tartness of the vinegar ties it all together, ensuring the sweetness isn't too cloying and giving the overall dish a clean, pure aftertaste. The guide told me that Hokkaido bears really love their honey... ... so I tried all kinds of methods to add it to my recipe! \" \"Is that how he gave his sauce a rich, clean flavor powerful enough to cause the Gifting? Unbelievable! That's our Master Yukihira!\" Something doesn't add up. A little honey and vinegar can't be enough to create that level of aftertaste. There has to be something else to it. But what? \"...?! I got it! I know what you did! You caramelized the honey!\" CARAMELIZATION Sugars oxidize when heated, giving them a golden brown color and a nutty flavor. Any food that contains sugar can be caramelized, making caramelization an important technique in everything from French cooking to dessert making. \"I started out by heating the honey until it was good and caramelized. Then I added some balsamic vinegar to stretch it and give it a little thickness. Once that was done, I poured it over some diced onions and garlic that I'd sautéed in another pan, added some schisandra berries and then let it simmer. After it had reduced, I poured bear stock over it and seasoned it with a little salt... The result was a deep, rich sauce perfect for emphasizing the natural punch of my Bear-Meat Menchi Katsu!\" \" Oho ! You musta come up with that idea while I was relaxing with my cup o' chai! Not bad, Yukihira-chin! Not bad at all! Don'tcha think?\" \"Y-yes, sir...\" Plus, there is no debating how well honey pairs well with bear meat. The Chinese have long considered bear paws a great delicacy... ... because of the common belief that the mellow sweetness of the honey soaks into a bear's paw as it sticks it into beehives and licks the honey off of it. What a splendid idea pairing honey with bear meat, each accentuating the other... ... then using caramelization and balsamic vinegar to mellow it to just the right level. It's a masterful example of using both flavor subtraction and enhancement in the same dish!”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Yuto Tsukuda" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/yuto-tsukuda/if-i-am-correct-the-secret-to-this-sauce-is-honey-and-balsamic/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7a5/yuto-tsukuda-38687_aftertaste_if-i-am-correct-the-secret-to-this-sauce_1699357.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7a5/yuto-tsukuda-38687_aftertaste_if-i-am-correct-the-secret-to-this-sauce_1699357.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7a5/yuto-tsukuda-38687_aftertaste_if-i-am-correct-the-secret-to-this-sauce_1699357.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“...
