My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 57 Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki.

This kind of food, where everyone gathers together to eat, can best enhance the friendship between each other.

Just right to eat at this time.

After all, today is bound to be a busy day.

Moreover, new employees have not been hired yet.

As for the rhubarb?

Just take care of it by yourself when the time comes.

Unlike spicy hot pot, sukiyaki has a mild taste, but it is very suitable for rhubarb.

Sukiyaki in Sakura Country is actually a simplified version of hot pot.

After all, real hot pot has more than just spiciness.

Flavors such as mushroom soup, tomato and bisque are very famous.

I glanced at the cupboard and randomly found a medium-sized cauldron, which I used as a sukiyaki pot.

Sukiyaki usually uses a small pot. It's not that small pots are better, it just looks like they have more ingredients.

As the boss, Liu Minghui cannot be stingy, so he naturally arranges a large amount of all kinds of good ingredients.

This time, he plans to make a luxurious version of sukiyaki.

Generally, no water is added to make sukiyaki. Ingredients such as onions, Chinese cabbage, and tofu contain a lot of water, which will slowly precipitate out after heating, which is enough to cook a pot of sukiyaki.

This principle is similar to Huaguo's stewing pot.

It also uses the moisture of the ingredients themselves for cooking.

However, since Liu Minghui made the deluxe version, the amount of meat will be much more.

The moisture in other ingredients is naturally not enough.

So you need to add a little more stock.

The stock can be added directly to the sukiyaki, or you can add a little more when making the sukiyaki sauce.

Here, Liu Minghui needs to add his own sauce anyway, so he chooses to add it to the sukiyaki sauce.

The production of sukiyaki sauce is very simple, just take appropriate amount of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sake, mirin and kombu broth, and mix well.

Then it's time to make the sukiyaki.

Heat the pan and add an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pan.

Add Chinese cabbage and spread evenly on the bottom of the pot.

Then put the tofu, fresh shiitake mushrooms, fish board, enoki mushrooms, and chrysanthemum chrysanthemum on the Chinese cabbage, filling the bottom of the pot.

Finally, add the beef slices, pour the prepared sukiyaki sauce evenly, cover the pot and simmer over low heat.

After the water in the vegetables is analyzed, you can turn up the heat.

As for the specific heat, it depends on when you eat it.

After checking the time, Liu Minghui slightly turned up the heat.

After everyone arrived, it was time to start eating.

Rhubarb who smelled the aroma of sukiyaki also stood up and barked at Liu Minghui.

But he was very obedient, just watching where he was and not rushing over.

Liu Minghui nodded. In this case, there would be no problem in leaving Rhubarb in Longli Izakaya.

In particular, during the period, Moriyama Joichi once cut some salmon scraps and wanted to feed them to rhubarb.

It's a pity that rhubarb was so dismissive that he didn't even look at it, let alone eat it.

You know, when Liu Minghui fed salmon to Rhubarb last night, it ate very happily.

Rhubarb will not eat food fed by outsiders.

Liu Minghui nodded in satisfaction.

In this case, he can rest assured.

Randomly eating food fed by others may not only endanger the health of rhubarb, but may even kill rhubarb.

No one knows if there will be a problem with the food fed to those who seem friendly.

The time came to 07:30.

The sukiyaki is also almost mature, and it's time to enjoy the delicious food.

Although it was only a few days, it has become the habit of Photon and others indoors to go to the kitchen before going to work.

They all wanted to know what surprise dish Boss Liu prepared today.

Although the lid is closed, the aroma of sukiyaki still escapes mischievously from the vent.

Da Huang's saliva dripped all over the floor, not to mention the three who just arrived.

"Sukiyaki?"

Kana Mochizuki shouted in surprise and said in disbelief: "Is this really a staff meal?"

"Boss Liu, you are really too generous of a wife."

Others also chimed in.

Moriyama Jo smiled and said, "Are you surprised just by sukiyaki?"

"When you lift the lid of the pot, you will know what a real surprise is."

Liu Minghui smiled slightly and said, "It's just an ordinary dinner, so why talk about surprises?"

"As long as you don't mind the shabby kitchen."

"There's really no place to put a stove outside."

"Then, eat a little faster, after all, it will officially open at eight o'clock."

"Okay, take the tableware by yourself, beat the eggs by yourself, pack the rice by yourself, and the food is enough."

"I wish you all a happy meal."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he took the lead in picking up the tableware and quickly placed it in front of him.

My own, and Rhubarb’s.

As for Dahuang's tableware, of course it was the same bowl he used the day before yesterday.

Since I plan to bring it to the izakaya, from now on this bowl will be the one that Rhubarb specially uses to eat in the dragon and carp izakaya.

After everyone had prepared bowls and chopsticks, under the command of Liu Minghui, Moriyama Joichi opened the lid of the sukiyaki pot.

After seeing the layers of beef in the pot, they finally understood why Moriyama Joichi said there was a surprise waiting for them.

With such a large amount of beef, this is not eating sukiyaki, it is obviously beef hot pot.

Sukiyaki in a dream is just that.

Liu Minghui moved his chopsticks first, picking up a piece of beef.

He knew that if he didn't do it first, the employees would not dare to use their chopsticks.

The hierarchy of Sakura Country is very strict.

The most authentic way to eat sukiyaki beef is to dip it in raw egg sauce.

This makes the meat more tender and smooth.

Of course, you should choose sterile eggs when eating.

Otherwise, it is not only unsafe, but also spoiled by the smell of eggs.

Looking at the rhubarb staring at him eagerly, Liu Minghui thought for a while and gave the first bite to the rhubarb.

Straight into its bowl.

Rhubarb was not polite. He stretched out his tongue and licked the large piece of beef into his mouth.

Zaba Zaba began to eat, his eyes narrowed with joy.

Only now did Liu Minghui have time to pick up his first piece of beef.

The sliced ​​beef is not very thin, fat and thin, with faint white lines.

Although it is not the legendary Wagyu beef, this is already the best beef in ordinary restaurants.

Dip it in the egg liquid, let the egg liquid evenly coat the beef slices, and put it in your mouth.

The beef is tender and chewy, and the smooth egg liquid adds layers to the beef.

With one bite, the oil blossoms bloom in the mouth with the meaty aroma of beef.

The more chewy the more fragrant.

Liu Minghui was very satisfied, the heat was just right.

Looking at other people, they also have intoxicated expressions on their faces.

My sukiyaki proved to be a success without a doubt.

Liu Minghui was not surprised by this.

It would be strange if it failed.

Due to the tight time and the abundant ingredients, everyone was not polite and ate very quickly.

There was not enough beef in the middle, so Liu Minghui put in the prepared beef.

The stewed beef tastes different from the beef put in while eating.

Being able to taste two flavors of beef at once is also a feature of sukiyaki.

During this period, some employees also tried to help Liu Minghui feed rhubarb.

It's a pity that Rhubarb was very resistant, picked up the bowl and ran away.

It only eats food given by Liu Minghui.

Seeing this, everyone did not force feed them.

By about [-]:[-], everyone is considered full.

It's a pity to see that there are still some remaining sukiyaki secretly.

Stomach, why are you so unlucky?

After dinner, everyone took their places and prepared to welcome today's customers.

Just when Liu Minghui turned off the fire and was about to clean up the mess, and was feeding the remaining Sukiyaki to Rhubarb, the phone rang.
