"Alright, this is the egg fried rice."
Upon closer inspection, the egg fried rice dish placed before them had almost every grain of rice distinct and separate, and while loose, it also had a perfect balance of softness and firmness.
Even more miraculously, every single grain of rice was coated with egg yolk.
And the green scallions dotted throughout made the entire dish colorful and visually pleasing.
In fact, under the illumination of the lights.
It shimmered faintly, as if it were glowing!
"This... is this egg fried rice?"
"It looks like it has a golden shimmering effect!"
Rubbing her eyes, thinking she had seen wrong, Alice Nakiri's blood-red eyes were filled with disbelief.
The egg fried rice in front of her used extremely simple ingredients, and the portion wasn't very large, but for some unknown reason, the rich aroma of rice, egg, and green onion continuously piqued Alice's appetite!
So, she impatiently picked up her chopsticks, quickly scooped a mouthful of egg fried rice, and chewed it slowly.
Upon first taste, she found the flavor of the egg fried rice irresistible.
Every grain of rice, when eaten, felt particularly chewy, like playful children bouncing around in her mouth.
The overall taste experience was oily but not greasy, eggy but not burnt, with a powerful aroma of green onions.
Alice's eyes lit up. Before she had even finished that bite of egg fried rice, she impatiently scooped another large mouthful and stuffed it into her mouth.
Instantly, an oily fragrance, a wonderfully indescribable aroma of rice, immediately spread through her mouth.
Such a taste, such a flavor.
Truly, it could not be described by any language in the world!
...
"Hmm?"
"Is this still the egg fried rice I remember?"
At the same time, Leonora Nakiri also began to eat the egg fried rice.
Unlike Alice, her reaction was clearly a bit exaggerated; she showed a shocked expression after just one bite, then immediately closed her eyes to savor it.
She only felt that the egg fried rice made by Sosuke had a smooth and particularly sticky texture.
With a gentle bite, each crystal-clear grain of rice made one reluctant to chew it completely.
Then, the rich aroma of rice lingered in her mouth, and the warmth between her lips and teeth instantly spread along the rice grains to her heart!
Without a doubt.
This bowl of egg fried rice in front of her definitely contained endless temptation for the taste buds.
The denseness of the rice and the tenderness of the egg were perfectly blended. If she had to describe the feeling, it would be two words:
Delicious!
"A bowl of egg fried rice, no matter how fragrant the egg is."
"If the rice is mushy or hard as pebbles, then... I really wouldn't want a second bite."
"That's why this indica rice, with its low water content and stickiness, was chosen. It might be a bit dry and hard when cooked as plain rice, but it's very suitable for egg fried rice."
"The final product is also very good."
"The eggs are like broken gold scattered among the distinct grains of rice, and the green onions add a fresh green touch amidst the char."
"Take a bite, and there's the aroma of egg, and the fluffy, dry texture of the rice."
"It's hard to imagine that this would be a dish that can be served in less than 5 minutes."
"Rice that can dance in your mouth when eaten, and tender egg yolks, that's probably what happiness looks like, right?"
Unconsciously, Leonora Nakiri was already deeply immersed, entering a wonderful realm of fantasy.
She only felt that her whole body was wrapped in an eggshell, the surroundings were dark and sticky, as if soaked in egg liquid, firmly locked in and unable to escape!
...
Egg fried rice, the simplest yet most complex.
There's no need to research the ingredients much; the real key lies in two areas:
Wok tossing technique!
Precise control of the heat!
For a perfect bowl of egg fried rice, first, one must check if the rice grains are plump and distinct; basic wok tossing can pass this.
Take a bite and see if the rice grains are flavorful; this indicates the duration of wok tossing.
Then taste for wok hei; if present, it means the chef paid close attention to the heat; if it's slightly burnt, it means it's still not up to par.
Clearly, Sosuke did exceptionally well in these aspects, without any flaws!
