Sometimes, people exhibit a very strange condition: they say no, but their bodies are very honest.
Mito Ikumi, who had always been indifferent to ordinary beef, ultimately couldn't resist Sosuke's cooking and was completely "broken"!
Immediately, she could only move her jaws and bare her teeth.
The entire plate of Scallion Stir-fried Beef and two bowls of rice in front of her were devoured like a whirlwind, pulled into her mouth with chopsticks, swallowed in large gulps, until everything was eaten clean.
Finally, she was even thoughtful enough to lick the plate sparkling clean, not forgetting to be economical.
…
"Truly amazing."
"The appropriate heat control allowed the scallions to be slightly charred on the outside, while the inside was fully soaked with broth and various seasoning flavors."
"The beef, though ordinary in quality, is far from a5 grade beef."
"But after being bathed in scallion oil, all the gamey smell is gone. Paired with some green peppers and a special sauce, it even has a hint of spiciness and sesame aroma."
"Perfect!"
"It's truly perfect!"
"This dish truly represents the highest standard of beef cuisine!"
Mito Ikumi said with a very contented expression.
Then, she turned to look at Sosuke, seeing him with his eyes closed, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush a little. She said, "Shopkeeper, I've eaten Scallion Stir-fried Beef before, how do I describe that taste?"
"The scallion flavor completely overwhelmed the meat flavor, as if the protagonist wasn't the beef, but the scallions."
"To be honest, in my eyes, if the flavor of the beef cannot be fully brought out, it's a failed dish."
"However, you are different. In your Scallion Stir-fried Beef dish, the scallion flavor is indeed rich, but it doesn't mask the aroma of the beef. On the contrary, the two can harmonize and influence each other, reaching a state of balance!"
"This kind of dish, even if you give me 10 years, it would probably be very difficult to make."
…
"Hmm!"
"Timing is very important."
"If there are too few scallions, the aroma of the beef cannot be fully brought out."
"But if there are too many scallions, they will affect and mask the inherent flavor of the beef."
"Therefore, the correct stir-frying technique for scallions is to first stir-fry a large amount of scallions in oil. Once the aroma of the cooked scallions emerges, then add the beef and other seasonings, and then quickly stir-fry over high heat."
"Explode!"
"Fast!"
"Urgent!"
"These are the three key secrets of stir-frying."
"Only by stir-frying vigorously over high heat can the quality of the entire dish be guaranteed."
"And the beef chosen, in fact, isn't necessarily better the higher the quality. Scallion Stir-fried Beef generally can only use beef tenderloin."
"For cutting, it shouldn't be too thin, nor too thick!"
"As for scallions, you definitely need to choose the white part. First, use a chef's knife to cut the white part of the scallion into rolling cuts."
"Then peel each layer of scallion skin to make them loose and flaky. This way, during the stir-frying process, both the scallion sections and pieces will cook faster, and they won't easily collapse when they are cooked through."
"When eaten, there's also a refreshing feeling."
"All in all."
"The handling of the beef is certainly important, but other ingredients should not be underestimated."
"Even a tiny bit of salt has its importance."
"If you only focus on the beef and ignore other factors and ingredients, then the entire dish will only be a carnival feast of meat, not a symphony of various ingredients!"
…
Thinking back, it was probably when she was 9 years old?
It was Mito Ikumi's own birthday, and her mother gave her a cute stuffed bear!
At that time, the innocent her, facing such a "cute" thing, naturally loved it immensely.
If nothing unexpected happened, that birthday would have been the best and most memorable birthday she ever had!
