Just because I've lived alone for a long time doesn't mean I can cook! There is no way I can say with confidence that I can do it.
If it's just a simple stir-fry, I sometimes make it, but I think it's normal to know about simmering in red wine only vaguely with knowledge.
Anyway, the bouillon is ... not time to make it.
I have no choice but to use the instant flavored powder I bought.
Grill the meat first, season with salt and pepper, and lightly fry with the olive oil.
Afterward red wine, tomato, olive oil........and some, oh, it is a pain in the ass, tomatoes and onions, and start cooking the beef.
I also added honey and mixed the seasoned powder with water to dissolve it, and a delicious flavor rose to the surface.
It doesn't look bad when I taste it.
But the meat is still not going to be mellow......
I wonder if I could make a pressure cooker out of alchemy.
No, but it's not safe......
But this world has magic stones.........
Hmmm........not enough time to simmer.......
I don't know what to do. But the smell isn't bad......
Let's just let it simmer to the last minute today.
Now, I take Moi slices out of the brine and drain them.
Fill a deep-bottomed frying pan with a generous amount of olive oil and heat up oil first.
“Oh, do you use olive oil for frying?” (Wendy)
“Was it bad?” (Itsuki)
“No, it's an expensive item, and I was worried that you would spend that much money all at once......” (Wendy)
“Hmmm. No, I was thinking that if I remove the impurities using alchemy reconstruction, I could reuse it” (Itsuki)
“I see. That might be possible then. But nevertheless, it's a luxury” (Wendy)
“It would be great if it was reusable, high-grade oil” (Itsuki)
When the oil heats up and I plunge the chopsticks into it, bubbles rise up.
It's roughly this temperature.
I adjust the heat to keep the temperature at the right temperature and then put in the sliced Moi.
If I put in a certain amount of oil all at once, the temperature of the oil will drop, but it's easy as it only takes about two minutes.
Ah......
This is perfect, just by sprinkling salt on it.
I take a bite of freshly fried.
Crispy Moi and salt are the best.
If possible, I'd like to have a chilled beer, but there's no such thing.
Now, let's split the rest of Moi and turn it straight into fries.
And while I'm at it, I'll make a peperoncino with dried noodles.
“Wendy, can you grill the meat for me, please? I'll leave the seasoning to you” (Itsuki)
“As you wish” (Wendy)
I'm not going to be able to cook anything exaggerated dish today.
But I've bought the ingredients, and in this world, there's plenty of time to make a fancy meal.
There are numerous spices, condiments, and ingredients.
And the other thing I need is a pizza.
Let's just make it up as it goes along.
First, I add sugar to yeast and lukewarm water for a primary fermentation.
Flour, fermented yeast, salt, and a drop or two of olive oil are mixed together and beaten before kneading the dough.
When it's roughly together, cut it in half, roll out the dough, then make a sauce with tomato and instant seasoning, and top with the ingredients and small pieces of melted cheese.
All I have to do now is combine the stove and the invisible prison, turn it into a pizza-roasting oven, put some burning coals inside and heat it up, and it will be ready in no time.
For now, all that's left to do is lightly fry the meat.
And it's easy to make with flour, eggs and breadcrumbs.
One after the other, the food that Wendy and I cooked on the table is on the table.
Once we create it, we don't want to stop.
I have at least one big eater in my house, a little girl who is a big eater, so I feel like I can't make enough food for her.
And even though they were women, if they are three adventurers, this amount might be gone soon.
“Master-sama, the meat is grilled well” (Wendy)
“Great, well, we'll switch places. I'll grill the beef tongue” (Itsuki)
“........Um, are you still going to eat it after all?” (Wendy)
“Of course” (Itsuki)
“Would you like to stop?” (Wendy)
“I refuse!” (Itsuki)
This's beef tongue, you know, beef tongue.
And a plate of thick-cut beef tongue that would cost 800 yen a plate if I walked in the store is so much more!
Oh, I could chop these up into small pieces and toss them with pasta.
And I sliced up some lemonias.
Today it's a frying pan, but next time it's definitely a net grill. And I'll make some grill nets for the grill!
As for the charcoal brazier..., I'm sure I could make one if I wanted to!
“Lord, I'm hungry. Still not ready?” (Shiro)
“Not yet. Wait until Renge come back” (Itsuki)
“Or maybe she didn't come back” (Shiro)
“Don't say something scary-Tsu......” (Renge)
You came back just in time.
“Uee.......... I am totally exhausted. Lordship isn't feeling well, so he was in a bad mood and complained to me a lot......” (Renge)
“Hahaha. But I'm glad you're okay” (Itsuki)
“Yes, but I'm tired......” (Renge)
“Oh well. Do you want to join us, Yashisu?” (Itsuki)
“Yes. I'll take your offer today” (Yashisu)
Oh, nice.
And if it's Yashisu, maybe he'll eat the beef tongue.
This guy seems to like the unknown and learning about things he doesn't know.
“Alright, well, I guess we're done here, Wendy” (Itsuki)
“Yes, I made a salad at the end. Oh, I'll bring you a plate to share” (Wendy)
Ta-da.
It's all done!
“That's great. Will there be food from Lord's country?” (Shiro)
“Hmmm... The way it's made is the way I used to make it in the world I'm from, but I'm sure it's possible in this world too” (Itsuki)
“Sure. There's this beef stew, for example. But I don't think I've ever seen it on a flatbread with all the fixings and cheese on it” (Wendy)
“Pizza? This is the one that's most likely to exist through” (Itsuki)
“When baking bread, usually nothing is put on it. Sometimes it's cut out and then put ham or veggies on top of it, though” (Aina)
Hou.
Oh, I forgot to make the soup. I thought I forgot to make the soup, but Wendy seemed to have made it for me.
“But it's early anyway, so let's eat” (Itsuki)
“Itada......” (Itsuki) “We give thanks to Lady Raydiana, the God of fertility and compassion” (Wendy) (Shiro) (Aina) (Solte) (Renge) (Yashisu)
Eh......
What is that, you guys have never done that before.....
On the contrary, all the attention is focused on me.
“What is that, Master?” (Renge)
“No, it's just like the normal pre-meal etiquette I had in the world I was from” (Itsuki)
“Like this?” (Renge)
Renge imitates me and clasps her hands together.
“What is the meaning of this?” (Renge)
“I mean, we're getting food and life, so I should show my appreciation for that” (Itsuki)
“Heh. Then I'll do the same-Tsu” (Renge)
“No, you guys do it your way” (Itsuki)
I believe it was Raydiana, the godness of fertility and compassion.
Raydiana......
It's not the name of an ex-world god or something, is it?
I feel I've heard something about it....
“You guys don't usually do that either, do you?” (Itsuki)
“At an everyday meal, we say our prayers in our hearts, but at a lavish meal like this, we read the scripture aloud and eat the meal” (Wendy)
“Heh. That makes sense” (Itsuki)
Well, it's like saying "I'll be in heaven--" on the former world.
“Well, let's eat it before it gets cold” (Itsuki)
“Yes. And the dishes are specially prepared” (Wendy)
Everyone looks at me as Wendy consents.
What?
“Well ......, the householder has to take a bite first and then everyone else starts eating” (Yashisu)
“Oh, really? Well, sorry, but I'll just take a bite first” (Itsuki)
I'll take a bite of beef tongue, just like Yashisu told me to.
Ohohohoh.
Delicious!
It's chewy but not hard.
On top of that, it was just seasoned with salt and pepper, but it was so tasty.
I'll squeeze some lemonia out of it too, but this is better than the first beef tongue my boss once took me to at a fancy barbecue!
It's a lie that beef tongue is not eaten in this world.
Could it be that these beef tongues are available on the cheap and all you can eat?
“Ma,Master-sama?” (Wendy)
“Hmm? Do you want some too, Wendy? That's very tasty” (Itsuki)
“No.......” (Wendy)
“Hoh. What did the customer eat? Apparently, it's the only meat that's available at the customer's place” (Yashisu)
“This is a cow's tongue” (Itsuki)
“Eh......” (Aina) (Solte) (Renge)
Hey. The adventurers’ group is stopping their vigorous hand.
Come to think of it, that pasta has garlic in it, is it safe for the animal kind?
“Oh. A cow's tongue, huh? If it's delicious, I'm interested” (Yashisu)
“Then eat! It's best when it's hot!” (Itsuki)
“So, let's get started” (Yashisu)
Yashisu took a slice and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
He chews repeatedly all the way through until he swallows.
“This is ... a delicacy. It's very tasty, with a great crunch and a concentrated flavor of meat” (Yashisu)
“I said so, right!” (Itsuki)
“Is it something you eat on a daily basis in your world?” (Yashisu)
“Right. I've never seen anyone say they didn't like it much” (Itsuki)
I'll take a bite too.
Uh ... delicious.
If I could bake them with spicy miso on top, but is there miso in this world?
Miso ...... I'd like to have some miso.
It makes me want to eat miso soup and white rice.
“Lord, Shiro too. Shiro want to eats too” (Shiro)
“Oh, come here. I'll feed you” (Itsuki)
“Hmm, Ahnn” (Shiro)
I thought Shiro would eat it if she heard this is tasty, but as I thought.
She chews repeatedly, her eyes sparkling.
She is hooked on this one.
“Delicious! One more bite!” (Shiro)
“That's fine! As long as I grill it, there's plenty to go around! Here Ahnn” (Itsuki)
“Ahhhh. Delicious!” (Shiro)
The group of adventurers, including Wendy, look like they're seeing the impossible.
But good food is always tasty.
“Oh, me too......” (Renge)
“Stop it, Renge! It's a cow's tongue, no matter how good it tastes” (Solte)
“No, you guys eat bugs, why do you have such an aversion to a cow's tongue when you eat bugs.......” (Itsuki)
That's such a creepy meat........oh, it's the same feeling.
Then I can't force them to eat it.
I'm not going to eat bugs either, no matter how delicious they are.
“Oh well. You don't have to force yourself to eat it” (Itsuki)
And there's a lot more to it.
Pizza is the best-baked thing ever.
Something like that cheese is just so melty.
“This bread is delicious. The cheese and tomato sauce is perfect” (Wendy)
“This is pizza. But it's high in calories, so you'll gain weight easily” (Itsuki)
Immediately after that, Wendy's hand stops with a snap.
Then she gently puts the new pizza slice she was holding back on her plate and looks at me with tears in her eyes.
“Do you think I'm fat, Master?” (Wendy)
“No, not at all. A little more plumpness is perfectly fine” (Itsuki)
“Ri, Right isn’t it!” (Wendy)
Wendy quickly reaches for the pizza as I mentioned earlier.
“You are going to become pig. Buhihihi” (Shiro)
“I'm going to exercise!” (Wendy)
“Don't be mean, Shiro, too. Here, you should try it, too” (Itsuki)
“I'm already eating it. It's so good, I making sure that Wendy shouldn't eat it all” (Shiro)
“I won't eat it all!” (Wendy)
I don't know if they're close or not.
“How about that? Do the noodles have a strong smell?” (Aina)
“It's delicious with a little bit of Galio and red Tonga” (Itsuki)
“Yeah. Galio taste is a little strong, but not bad” (Aina)
“Everything tastes good, right? That's what adventurers are for! I don't have a preference!” (Renge)
“But the cow's tongue is still a bit, well, not want to” (Aina)
“Like I said before, you don't have to force yourself to eat it. I don't eat bugs either” (Itsuki)
“You say insects, but do you mean caterpillars? That was better than the Black Morm” (Aina)
“Just like how you feel a cow's tongue. Preconceptions get in the way and I can't” (Itsuki)
“I see....” (Aina)
“Eat what you want” (Itsuki)
“Oh, let it be. Oh, hey, Renge! That meat is mine!” (Aina)
“The faster one gets win-Tsu!” (Renge)
“Yeah. I'll also take it” (Solte)
“Ah! Solte will still have her own!” (Aina)
It's a lively dining experience.
“How about it, Yashisu? Does it taste good?” (Itsuki)
“Yes, it's a little heavy, but very tasty. Especially the beef tongue I just had, which was very tasty!” (Yashisu)
“Oh, I see. Well, look forward to the next one then” (Itsuki)
“Is there anything more?” (Yashisu)
“Well, it's another way to eat beef tongue. I like it this way” (Itsuki)
With that, I head to the kitchen.
I took out some vegetables.
It is a thicker vegetable with a green head and white flesh, originally shaped like a stick but with two footprints.
Yes. It is green onion. Although its official name is Negin.
Cook them lightly, then peel them and place them on top of the salted grilled beef tongue.
“This is Negitanshio” (Itsuki)
One of the orthodox ways to eat salted beef tongue, this is Negitanshio.
Sometimes some guys have a hard time flipping the green onions on top while grilling the tongue and salt before flipping it over, but if this is not a restaurant, it's easy to cook the green onions first and then chop them up.
“Oh. This is a dish that carved negin into it” (Yashisu)
“Yeah. It's good to eat them all together like this” (Itsuki)
I'll show you an example to try.
Oh, it's good. This green onion is very sweet.
The spicy and sweet green onion goes well with beef tongue.
It's not a salted sauce, but the flavorful umami from the beef tongue are enough to make it delicious.
“Hou. This is delicious. I like this one better, too, because it's lighter and easier to eat” (Yashisu)
“There's a drink to go with this, but unfortunately, I don't know if it's in this world” (Itsuki)
“Hmm. What kind of drink is it?” (Yashisu)
“Hmmm, it's a drink made from wheat. It's a sparkling, carbonated liquor” (Itsuki)
“I guess that would be the lager of the Empire” (Yashisu)
“It exists!?” (Itsuki)
“Yeah. It's a common liquor in the Empire, as I recall. In this kingdom, it's basically fruit wine. In the Empire they seems to drink mostly lager than wine” (Yashisu)
“Heh. It exists....” (Itsuki)
When I know it's there, I'll want it.
Hmmm, I wonder if I could ask Meira to buy it.
“By the way, is that lager cold?” (Itsuki)
“No, it looks like it's meant to be drunk at room temperature” (Yashisu)
“Is that so......” (Itsuki)
Then I'd need a cooling device.
Refrigerator...... I wonder if it could be done well with the water magic stone.
This just adds to the fun!
“If you get a lager, let's have a drink with this one” (Itsuki)
“Oh, thank you for the invitation. I'll be happy to join you at that time” (Yashisu)
I wonder if Yashisu has ever drunk it.
Without a doubt, the drink that go well with this is a cold beer.
Now, I want some rice........
As a Japanese person, I want rice.
But there must be rice.
The food culture is more advanced than I thought it would be, and if I look for it, I'm sure it will be there.
“Lord, another one!” (Shiro)
Before I knew it, Shiro, who had started eating Negitanshio, urged me to go and grill some more.
When I look at the table, I see that most of it is gone before I know it, so I think I'm going to grill some additional meat, too.
When I returned, the table was empty, as expected, and the four of us, except for Yashisu and Wendy, were waiting eagerly to see if the meat was still ready.
The moment I put it on the table, the meat is consumed at an amazing rate.
Yashisu takes a sip of wine and settles in.
Wendy come to help with me.
Not bad.
I'm kind of pleased with it.
The food we ate together was very tasty, and as a cook, it was a pleasure to see.
Oh, the fat on the ribs is delicious.
