Just as Mu Fan was thinking in his mind, Machiko walked up to him, looked at him and said quietly: "Mu Fan, are you joining the gourmet club like other boys just to get close to Asuna?"
"Of course I came to the food department because of cooking."
Mu Fan smiled bitterly. He had never expected that Miss Asuna Yuuki would be able to cook and become the head of the Gourmet Department. As for his first thought when he came to the Gourmet Department, of course he was to make money.
Mu Fan walked to the exquisite and clean stove in the food department and glanced at the pots, pans, knives and other tools neatly placed on the shelves. These facilities were all new and should have been set up by Asuna Yuuki. Specially prepared by the gourmet department.
However, the facilities only play a supporting role, the most important thing is the chef and the freshness of the ingredients.
"As long as I can cook, can I join the food department?"
"Well, as long as Mu Fan can make edible food, he can join the gourmet club." Machiko's eyes lit up when she heard Mu Fan's answer, and she walked over and said with a smile. Although some people joined the gourmet club because of Yuuki Asuna's popularity, they were basically just trying to get close to Asuna, and none of them could really cook.
After all, not many girls in this era can cook, let alone boys, so Machiko was very surprised to hear Mu Fan say that he could cook.
"Gu—"
But just as Machiko finished speaking, her stomach rumbled at an inappropriate time, causing her fair face to be stained with a seductive blush.
Hearing this voice, Mu Fan was slightly startled for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something. He turned around, and the blushing Machiko couldn't help but asked: "Monitor, are you... are you hungry?" ?”
"I haven't eaten lunch yet..." Machiko lowered her head and said a little embarrassed. In fact, she and Asuna Yuki agreed to make lunch together today. However, due to the lack of some ingredients, Asuna left the food department to prepare ingredients. She has not returned yet, so she can only go hungry temporarily.
"Are you sure you're not asking me to cook just to fill your own belly for public benefit?" Mu Fan stared at Machiko with strange eyes. He had some doubts about joining the gourmet club from just now, but he didn't say it out loud. But I didn't expect that Machiko would stop himself so soon.
"No, we will be ready as long as Asuna comes back." Hearing Mu Fan's question, Machiko's face suddenly turned redder, and she raised her head and defended unconvinced.
"Oh? Can the monitor also cook?" Mu Fan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I know some skills, but I'm far behind Asuna, because Asuna is really good at cooking." Machiko said helplessly.
"Okay, in that case, let me take care of the squad leader's lunch. What ingredients are left here?" Mu Fan chuckled. Although he was a little surprised that Yuuki Asuna was proficient in cooking, he still decided to do it for the present. It's better to join the food department early and start your own project.
With the talent of fantasy, he is not afraid of anyone when it comes to cooking!
Machiko pointed behind Mu Fan: "Everything is in the refrigerator."
Mu Fan turned around and opened the refrigerator. There were not many ingredients inside, only a few shrimps, carrots, vegetables, ham, onions and other ingredients, as well as a few eggs and some rice.
Seeing this, Mu Fan had an idea in his mind. Although there were not many ingredients in the refrigerator, it was enough to make the food he had in mind.
"Monitor, do you like egg fried rice?"
"Well, I occasionally make some food at home."
Hearing Mu Fan's question, Machiko nodded, and then seemed to realize something. She turned to look at Mu Fan and hesitated for a moment, then asked with a weird look on her face: "Classmate Mu Fan, do you want to make eggs?" Fried rice?”
Egg fried rice is very simple to make. Although most people don't know how to cook, egg fried rice can. After all, normal people make egg fried rice for convenience.
To put it more bluntly, making egg fried rice is just a little more difficult than cooking instant noodles. If you make a bowl of egg fried rice, can you call it good at cooking
"Yeah. But mine is different from ordinary egg fried rice. What I make is called "Golden Fried Rice."
Mu Fan was not surprised by Machiko's expression. After all, he said he wanted to make the simplest egg fried rice. He sounded just like the boys who came before and took the opportunity to get close to Yuuki Asuna in order to join the gourmet club.
However, although egg fried rice looks very simple, it is also the dish that tests the most cooking skills. The taste of egg fried rice made by different chefs is also very different. The golden fried rice he makes is naturally different from the egg fried rice made by ordinary people.
"Golden fried rice? What is that?" Machiko looked at Mu Fan in shock. She had heard of egg fried rice, but never seen golden fried rice.
"The squad leader, let's watch it first." Mu Fan smiled softly, first took out the rice from the refrigerator, then put the rice in a basin and filled it with water and began to wash the rice carefully.
For egg fried rice, the step of washing the rice is very critical. Impurities in the rice must be carefully removed, otherwise the taste will be greatly affected.
While washing the rice, Mu Fan filled the kettle with tap water, plugged in the electricity and started boiling water. Boiling water and washing rice were performed at the same time, which could also shorten a lot of production time.
After Mu Fan washed the rice, the water in the kettle was boiled. Mu Fan skillfully poured the rice into the boiling water, then fished it out through a strainer and steamed it in the rice cooker.
These steps are all the steps for making golden fried rice in my mind. Doing this can make the steamed rice grains distinct, which not only tastes better than those that are sticky together, but also can pave the way for the egg yolk to perfectly wrap the rice. .
While the rice was steaming, Mu Fan started to pick up the prepared green onions, picked up the vegetable cutting knife on the shelf next to him, and quickly cut the green onions into pieces.
From the moment Mu Fan started cooking, Machiko stood aside and watched his movements curiously with a pair of beautiful eyes. Just from Mu Fan's skillful knife skills in cutting vegetables, it was obvious that this kind of cooking skills would be impossible to achieve in just a few years. It's tempered.
Next, Mu Fan started to crack eggs. The second-level cooking skill was much stronger than the first-level cooking skill. It was not difficult for Mu Fan to crack the eggs. During the process of beating eggs, he directly separates the egg yolk and egg white. Only the egg yolk is used for golden fried rice, and the egg white is not needed at all.
Not long after, steam came out of the steam valve of the rice. Mu Fan opened the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma of rice spread out.
The introduction in my memory is that golden fried rice needs to be cooked overnight to achieve the most perfect taste. However, according to Tian Tian, the advantage of overnight rice is that the water evaporates and shrinks, making the rice grains distinct.
Mu Fan had already taken good control of this when the system prompted him to steam the rice, so there was no need to wait all night.
Next, wait for the rice to cool down slightly. Mu Fan turned the heat in the pot to maximum. Add vegetable oil to the pot and wait until the oil is hot. Then quickly add the minced green onion into it. After frying until the aroma is fragrant, Mu Fan directly pours the rice, egg yolk, white pepper, and salt that have been stirred together into the pot. Stir fry skillfully.
During the process of frying the rice, Mu Fan kept counting the time in his mind. Controlling the heat was also very important for the golden fried rice. After all, it was cooked quickly over high heat. If you were not careful, you might fry the egg fried rice. thus failing.
Having found the right moment, Mu Fan quickly turned off the fire and poured the fried rice into the prepared plate.
As Mu Fan poured out the fried rice, an alluring aroma spread throughout the food department almost instantly. Under the sunlight coming in from the window, the plate of fried rice shone with a golden luster, and every rice grain was wrapped in A layer of golden egg yolk, and the particles are clear and the color is very uniform.
The moment the golden fried rice was ready, a system notification sounded in Mu Fan's mind:
[Golden Fried Rice: Rating: 65 points! With a passing score or above, it is food that people can fall in love with after just one bite!]
