They Gather Here

"Sure." The girl replied.

"Pfft!" Luo Zhen laughed.

"Don't laugh!"

"O(∩_∩)O haha~"

"..."

"..."

The two fell silent awkwardly.

Erina couldn't take it anymore, and shouted while operating: "I tell you, concentrate!"

It seems very angry.

Now, there are two women and one man in the back kitchen. Luo Zhen continues to work adhering to the principles of "good men don't fight women" and "two fists are no match for four hands".

He put the eel meat on the chopping board, chopped it into mud with the back of a knife, then put it into a basin, added water and salt, stirred it into a slurry in one direction, then added sweet potato powder, and stirred it in the other direction.

At this point, the fish ball paste is complete.

The next step is to wrap the fish balls——

Spread the fish ball paste on the palm of the left hand, put the meat ball in the middle, then hold the five fingers tightly, squeeze the fish ball into a small ball from the thumb and index finger, scoop up the ball with a spoon like canned milk powder in the right hand, and throw it away Into the clear water basin.

"It's floating!" Chitanda was surprised.

"Sit down and do the basic operations." Luo Zhen was complacent.

"I'm curious!"

"Don't be curious, sit down."

The curious baby was suppressed and sat back sullenly.

Yukinoshita gently tugged on Luo Zhen's sleeve, signaling this guy not to bully the first graders, and then changed the subject: "Should I wear bamboo sticks now?"

"No." Luo Zhen shook his head, "Different from the fish balls cooked in Nihong Kanto, the fish balls with a heart-wrapped heart must be boiled until they are half-ripe."

As he spoke, he slowly poured the fish balls in the clear water basin into the cold water pot and boiled them over low heat.

When there are signs of slight expansion, sprinkle pepper and drizzle sesame oil on top, then put on bamboo skewers, add to the oden broth, and simmer slowly.

The fish balls swelled up even more.

If it is an ordinary oden boiled fish ball, it will sink into the broth, but the wrapped fish ball is different, and it has a tendency to rise slowly.

what's going on! ?

Chitanda couldn't help being more curious, and knelt on the chair, leaning on the bar with her hands, trying to lengthen her height.

Luo Zhen leaned over and asked, "Want to eat?"

"I think!" Chitanda nodded seriously.

"No, I have to entertain guests."

"Well……"

Why does senior Luo always bully me! ?

Chitanda thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, and looked depressed.

At this time, Megumi Kato reached out and pinched the tip of her hair: "Xiaoqian, let's ignore him, be good~"

Everyone: "..."

Luo Zhen coughed lightly, and turned his gaze to Erina.

Sure enough, this girl is the same, instead of doing oden cooking seriously, she chose a rather complicated yuba roll——

Bean curd shrimp rolls.

To put it simply, the bean curd skin is used to lock the deliciousness of the shrimp and vegetables, and then deep-fried in a frying pan until it is fully ripe, and then put into the Kanto cooking pot.

Luo Zhen couldn't help complaining: "Is the one you made a convenient dish?"

"You have the nerve to criticize me?" Erina immediately shot back.

"Humph--"

"whispering sound--"

It looked like they were about to quarrel.

Seeing this scene, Ying Lili clamored in her heart, "Come on! Come on now!! Hit, hit, hit!!!" and almost clapped her hands.

On the contrary, Yukinoshita said lightly: "The so-called 'convenient cooking' refers to the quick process of 'ordering → serving'. I don't think these two kinds of rules violate the rules."

So, the two calmed down and looked at each other.

Luo Zhen asked: "Because Xuexia is helping me with the kitchen, so I got rid of it. If the other three are, why don't they be judges?"

Erina wanted to do this very much.

However, her bean curd shrimp rolls are only 20 in total, and removing 3 at once will affect the business at night.

"Well, let's leave it to the guests to judge," she said.

"I think so too." Luo Zhen nodded.

"Then next..."

"Fried food!"

As soon as the words fell, the two stood in front of the cooking table again.

Luo Zhen has already made up his mind, since pork was used in the heart-wrapped fish balls in the front, and pork is also used in the braised pork in the back, so it's better to use it to the end.

He chose the tenderloin on the outside of the spine and cut it into thick slices that are different from the conventional ones.

Looking at it, Yukinoshita felt that it was about 8mm, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Would it be too thick for fried pork chops?"

"Hush!" Luo Zhen made a gesture.

"Hey?"

"Just look at it."

Luo Zhen divided the pork chop into two and broke it from the middle, but it would not cut it completely.

Next, he took half a slice of cheese and put it in. Because he wanted to make the color bright enough, he chose light yellow cheddar cheese.

He lightly patted both sides with the back of a knife to make the tenderloin steak grow bigger and softer, and then put it aside to relax.

Finally, mince the garlic, shred the old ginger, add thick soy sauce, mirin, and pepper, mix well and marinate.

This process takes 10-15 minutes.

"Zhixin's?" Yukinoshita suddenly realized.

"Keep your voice down." Luo Zhen said, "Don't let Eri listen."

"Let me tell you, you've been calling 'Eri', 'Eri' endlessly since just now, isn't it too kind?"

"Then I'll call you 'Xiaoxue'?"

"Meow!"

The girl blushed.

In an instant, everyone cast their gazes over.

Erina tilted her head and asked, "I thought I heard a cat meowing just now?"

"You made a mistake." Luo Zhen replied.

"is it?"

Erina's gaze stayed on Yukinoshita for a moment, then she lowered her head and continued to operate her cooking.

I saw that she would split the chopped onions one by one into a ring shape, then put them into squid rings of appropriate size, then put onion rings, roll them in cornstarch, and then wrap them in egg liquid.

It was squid onion rings.

This can be done thanks to the special structure of onions.

Looking down from above, it looks like a tree stump, each circle is like an annual ring, and the radius decreases layer by layer, so it can just form a three-layer structure of "large→medium→small".

It's just that the bonding between the layers is a test of the chef's skills, which is very similar to the sandwich of pork chops.

Luo Zhen looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but nodded appreciatively, but he didn't have time to think about it so much, so he continued.

He removed the shredded ginger and minced garlic on the surface of the tenderloin, evenly covered it with sweet potato starch, then wrapped the pork chops in the beaten egg liquid, covered both sides with bread crumbs, and let it stand for enough time to make the bread crumbs adhere better On top of the pork chops.

Then it's time to cook.

Luo Zhen heated the oil in a small pot and put the pork chops in.

Because there is cheese in the middle, it cannot be deep-fried like ordinary pork chops. Instead, it is fried on both sides, and when it is golden, remove it.

After this, the re-frying is immersion frying, which can be removed in about 1 minute, and the excess oil can be absorbed with oil-absorbing paper.

Zhixin Tonkatsu, you're done!

Call ~

Luo Zhen let out a long breath.

He looked over and saw that the pork chops were ordinary in appearance, and there was absolutely no way to tell what was going on inside.

It is sure to amaze diners!

However, he is not the only one with this idea.

Erina put the onion squid rings on the iron plate and placed them side by side with the fried pork cutlets with sesame seeds.

Luo Zhen once said, "Even a stinky rubber shoe is delicious after being fried." Looking at the golden-yellow appearance of the two dishes, you will be tempted to whet your appetite. This is the charm of fried food.

The two believed that they would definitely sell out in one night.

"Onion rings?" Luo Zhen commented, "It's very traditional~"

"You made tonkatsu." Erina did not show weakness, "We are each other~"

"Ha ha……"
