1 " So this is what a black pepper pork bun really tastes like!"The bun is flaky, and crispy, like a piecrust!The juicy pork filling is seasoned with just enough black pepper to give it a good bite! All the minced green onion mixed in with it makes it even better!The whole thing is overflowing with the mellow and meaty umami goodness of ground pork!"IT'S SOOO GOOD!""Look! There it is! That's Soma Yukihira's booth!""Really? Interesting! Wasn't he one of the finalists in this year's Classic?""Hmm. This meat filling is way too weak as is. Juiciness, richness, umami... it's way short on all of those.The bun itself is probably good enough. Maybe I should up the ratio of rib meat...""Yo. How're the test recipes going?There are a whole lot of other exclusively Chinese seasonings you can try, y'know. Oyster sauce, Xo spicy seafood sauce and a whole mountain of spices.I did a Dongpo Pork Bowl for the Classic, so I know all too well how deep that particular subject gets.""Oh, right! Now I see it. Chinese "Ma-La" flavor is just another combination of spices!Everything I learned about spices from my curry dish for the Prelims...... I should be able to use in this too!Thanks, Nikumi!""H-hey! Don't grab my hand like that!"How about this?Fresh-ground black pepper...... and some mellow, fragrant sesame oil!When you're making anything Chinese, you can't forget the five-spice powder. I'll also knead in some star anise to enhance the flavor of the pork!Then add sliced green onions and finish by wrapping the mixture in the dough "

2 " I can smell the shrimp broth and garlic! Mmm! It's so good! It's light yet has a deep, full-bodied flavor!""Whoa! I've been eating all day, but this goes right down!"" Mm! This is the perfect finisher for the day!""And the topping is the bun's pork filling!""Yep! Listening to customer requests last night gave me the inspiration to try this out.""Thanks to these noodles, we sold a whole lot more today than yesterday.""Using bun dough to make noodles... how interesting!And to come up with it on the spot too...""Nah, I didn't really.See, Taiwan already has a noodle dish a lot like it.""...?Dan Zai Noodles!"DAN ZAI NOODLESOriginating in Southern Taiwan, it is also known as Tan-tsu noodles or slack season noodles.The broth is generally light and clear, made from seafood stocks like bonito or shrimp.Then oil noodles are added and topped with items like ground pork, green onions, bean sprouts and shrimp.Served in small snack-sized portions, it was created with the idea of being a tasty snack that could be eaten over and over.

3 " Oops!""Are you okay, Tadokoro?""Isami! Takumi!""Yukihira! How dare you make a lady carry so many heavy things! You are a disgrace to proper gentlemen everywhere! "
4 " Oh! But here! I brought some Chinese recipes I found that I thought might be useful.""Huh? Wait a sec, Tadokoro.Aren't you going to help out at the booth the Polaris crew is putting together? Isshiki Senpai must have invited you.""Hmm? Yeah, he did. The Home-Cooking Society is going to have a booth too. But I turned both of them down.""Huh? Why?""Well, because I thought you could use the help, of course...... AH!Oh! Um! I-I-I know that I'll probably just get in the way! I mean, i-it's me, right? I'm so sorry I just assumed that I could be helpful to you!B-but, um! I-I did use to help with the customers at my family's little inn...and during the Stagiare Challenge, I did have the chance to learn a little bit about customer service, so I kinda think I might not be totally useless, and... and, um!S-so, um, y-you see... if you happen to need a little help with your booth, I, um... I'd be happy to...""Tadokoro.You...... are the best.""R-really?""Okay! Let's do this! Let's cook something up, Tadokoro!""Okay! "
