The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1083 Magical Boy's Cooking Guide

"Actually, cooking is not as difficult as you imagined, Captain,"

Walking into the kitchen with Fangran who was finally willing to get out of the bed, Gou Yu looked at him and said with a smile:
"Cooking itself is just a process of processing materials and making food through fixed conditions, which is not difficult."

Built-in refrigerators, ovens, microwave ovens, dishwashers with integrated sterilization and disinfection under the stove, white closets opposite to black appliances, it is obviously a two-story hut but relies on high space utilization (regardless of cost),
A large European-style mansion-style kitchen is abruptly decorated. Just imagining delicious food here will make people feel better.

This is why Tang Bing keeps complaining that the decoration is more expensive than the house.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Holding a small notebook, he followed behind Gou Yu and nodded inexplicably,
Fangran watched as he began to teach himself how to cook from scratch.

"The first thing is to prepare the ingredients. The method for vegetables is to wash and cut them. The meat is basically the same, but it varies according to the type of dishes,"

"Different preparation steps such as blanching, pickling or thickening may be required."

Opening the hidden refrigerator behind the white cabinet door, Gou Yu pointed to the various stuffed ingredients inside, and began to explain the specific methods of these preparation steps little by little.

Watching him take out all kinds of kitchen utensils and briefly show himself the process of washing and cutting vegetables and meat processing,

Fangran had a look of "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" in surprise,

It's like lighting up basic skills from a mentor.

"Then there is the heat, the high fire is when the outer ring is turned on, and the blue and white flame will protrude slightly from the bottom of the pot; the small fire is when the inner ring is on fire, and the flame is blue and slightly orange,"

"Medium fire is somewhere in between."

Before coming to the spotless black stove, Gou Yu lifted the pot, turned the gas switch one by one, introduced the different heat levels in cooking,

The reason why I even have to say this kind of common sense is because Gou Yu knows that
If he didn't make it clear, Fangran, who could only use an induction cooker, would have to screw it up based on his feelings.
"The role of oil is mainly to lubricate and prevent sticking to the pan. Its boiling point is higher than water, so it can heat food faster, and it can also be used as an ester,"

"It can provide the body with calories and essential fatty acids."

"Oh!?"

From just now, there was a cat on his head who was also curious, Fangran suddenly felt as if he had seen the sun behind the clouds when he heard this kind of knowledge.

He always thought,
It's only natural to put oil in cooking.

"The role of salt is to provide a salty taste, sugar is for sweetness, monosodium glutamate is for umami taste, onion, ginger and garlic are all for sautéing,"

"Star anise, fennel, peppercorns, pepper, all these natural spices also provide their own different aromas."

After finishing preparing the materials and setting up the experimental environment, Gou Yu opened the closet above, pointed to the neatly stored seasonings in the bottles and cans, and began to tell Fangran,

The most basic and most commonly used solutes and solutions when cooking.

"The addition of soy sauce is generally for coloring, adding freshness, and it can also provide a certain salty taste. Dark soy sauce and light soy sauce are two types of strong and weak colors, and the taste is slightly different."

"Cooking wine is to remove the fishy smell of fish and meat when there is meat,"

"Vinegar also has a similar effect, but it has more characteristics. In addition to removing the fishy smell, it can also reduce spiciness, add fragrance, induce sweetness, and accelerate ripening."

Fangran was in a state of sudden enlightenment the whole time,

I kept remembering the respective effects and functions of these seasonings in the small book in my hand, and learned about light soy sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce,

Turns out to be a class of valuable knowledge
"After knowing the basic uses of these materials, you can try to cook. I will teach you from the simplest 'stir-frying'," the captain said.

"The basic order is to prepare the materials - start the pan - put the oil - add the right amount."

that's it,
In the afternoon when everyone else in the hut was absent,

Fangran followed Gou Yu in the kitchen and activated his cooking skill tree.

"Oh, so that's how cooking is done, it's very simple."

Finally, holding a small notebook full of knowledge points, Fangran rubbed his chin and nodded, expressing his thoughts.
I found that cooking is not as mysterious as I imagined.

"Then captain, do you want to try to cook the dish you want now?"

Finally getting rid of the leader's dehumanizing trend, Gou Yu responded with a sigh of relief and a smile.

"Hmph, little or! You will eat my delicious food that will move people to tears, but don't blame me for being better than blue!"

Fang Super confident Ran, posing in a charming and handsome pose.

"(≧≦*) Lame!"

The F-233 above his head, who probably didn't understand what was going on, let out a very energetic cry.

"Then I won't bother you, captain, come on."

As the teacher's duty of preaching and teaching was over, Gou Yu left the kitchen to Fangran, and took a brief look at his figure who was thinking about what to do, his confused look without worries,

Then he returned to the living room with a reassuring chuckle.

And looking at all kinds of kitchen utensils and appliances, basically all the refrigerators are in stock, jumping up and down on the head, in short, it is a very happy "pet cat",
Standing in the high-end kitchen, Fangran looked at the stove in front of him, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do it!

what?
What do you ask him to do?
Hmph, as the first dish for the debut, do I still need to ask?
Of course it is the baby's favorite braised pork ribs (Zhen Sheng)!
"The first thing is to prepare the ingredients, I will look at the recipe"

Keeping in mind Gou Yu's step-by-step instructions, Fangran took out Xiao Nuo's home to search for recipes online, and at the same time took out the ribs he had stuffed in at noon from the refrigerator.
-
【Home-cooked recipe of braised pork ribs】--
'After preparing the materials, cut the ribs into small pieces. '-
"Well, first cut the ribs into small pieces."

Reading the steps with pictures on the first line, I looked at the whole big ribs on the menu,
Fangran directly pulled out the kitchen knife from the knife holder,

It's too late to say, then soon!
Hand up and down!
A small slit was then made on the rib.
Nani! ?
It was unbelievable that there was no two cuts, Fangran held the handle of the knife with the other hand, blushed and pressed down with all his might!
The lameow on the top of the head is also exerting force with the same expression,
During the three seconds when the blade moved down slowly,

when--!
Finally managed to cut a small piece of ribs like in the recipe,

Then look at a large piece left,

Fang Ran: "."

"It can't be helped, it's over"

Fangran raised his hand and appeared with a silver crutch in his face, showing the hero's expression of being helpless and having no choice but to show his true strength.

Looking at the ribs in front of him, he revealed the standard facial expression of 'you forced me'.

Then, thinking about betting the dignity of his participants, he must not fall down at the first step, and at the moment when he was about to use the final method to cut the ribs into small pieces,
Fangran suddenly realized an extremely important thing!

(°°,)?Hey, I just realized that it has been cut into small pieces and it will be over soon.
His eyes froze for a second, then he put away the 'crutches', turned out the cut ribs, coughed twice and pretended nothing happened,

Fangran started to make his own braised pork ribs again.

The Yinduanlongya, which was just used to unpack the express delivery not long ago, because of the flash of the master's 'spirit',
Finally escaped the fate of being reduced to a kitchen knife.

Well. Although from the scene just now, cooking itself seems to be denied-
'After the ribs are cut, put them into the pot, blanch in water, and wash off the blood foam'-
"Wash it, put it in the pot, blanch it, hum"

Thinking about what Gou Yu had just taught him, Fangran hummed with the confidence of 'this is not easy to grasp'.

Then after putting the ribs in the pot and cooking for a while,
"Well, isn't the water a little low, let's add some more."

Very freely and freely poured some water into the pot.
-
'After boiling, take it out, wash it with clean water and drain it for later use, heat the pot'-
"Drain it, wash it, and put it in the pot, heh, here it comes!"

Seeing the arrival of what he was best at, Fangran turned the gas switch coolly, already imagining how he would look like a chef.

Then after trying the feel, continue to look at the recipe below.-
'Appropriate amount of cooking oil, a small handful of rock sugar'-
"Appropriate amount of cooking oil, a small handful of gourds, um, how much is an appropriate amount and a small handful?"

Add ingredients to the pot according to the recipe, holding the olive oil bottle and rock sugar in both hands, confused for a second,
"In short, put more, the taste of the province is not enough."

Then decide to follow your feelings.
-
'Heat over low heat until the rock sugar melts and changes color, add the ribs and stir-fry until the color changes'-
"Oh oh oh! That's right! That's the feeling! That's the right feeling!"

Putting the ribs into the pot with one brain, Fangran copied the spatula and flipped the pot for a while. In the smell of oily smoke and cooking on high fire, he felt that he had found his confidence as a chef! -
'Add pepper, and other seasonings if you like'-
Can you add other seasonings if you like? ?
Then you said what can be added, how can your recipe be so imprecise (pat the table)!

Seeing this line, he was so angry that he deeply reprimanded the author of this recipe. Fangran looked at the ribs in the pot and couldn't delay,

Immediately, he quickly checked other recipes.

Then it doesn't matter if you don't check it, just check it.
He found that he didn't know what to put more and more.

This one says to put cinnamon bark, that one says to put fragrant leaves, and the other says to put star anise and hawthorn peel.
"Fennel, Kaempfer, Cinnamon, Grass Fruit, Clove."

Fearing that the stir-fry would be too long and it would be carbonized directly, Fangran stared at his phone to collect and read one by one, and the spices in his hand kept appearing out of thin air and thrown into the pot.
-
'After the spices are fried, add light soy sauce for seasoning'-
So why are you explaining clearly what 'waiting' is!

"Hey, soy sauce, cooking wine, soy sauce, etc., blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Due to the imprecise operating instructions, Fangran immediately poured them into the pot one by one in a hurry.
Then-
'Without the ribs, stew according to your preference to collect the juice'-
Look at the water, beer, white wine, stock provided on the last step. There are also various types of options on other recipes,

"It shouldn't be a problem to pour a little of the same."

In the end, all kinds of liquids appeared out of thin air in front of Fangran who was muttering.
And just after that,

The door of the living room of the hut was pushed open, and the slender girl ran into the room as if escaping, rubbing her little hands and screaming tremblingly,

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! It's freezing!"

Come back at exactly this time.
　According to this method, you can really make braised pork ribs. [Sorry, I forgot to check when I posted it before, and slipped a small outline, I’m really sorry]
