Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 299 Sukiyaki

Mi Xiaoye said with a smile: "I just want to see how shocked Master is. But the good thing is that we still have all the things we brought, as well as the seasonings. Otherwise, it would be hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"Mi Xiaoye, I'll just wait for your help." Jun Yijing said.

Mi Xiaoye pulled Yun Muqing and said, "Thirteen, accompany me to buy ingredients for everyone."

Yun Muqing smiled and followed Mi Xiaoye out of the posthouse.

"Little boss, what are you going to buy for everyone? I've been looking at it for a long time. There is really nothing to eat in this market." Yun Muqing asked.

Mi Xiaoye said: "Buy whatever you have. We'll get some fish and shrimp later. I'll make sukiyaki for everyone today."

"What is sukiyaki?" Yun Muqing asked.

Mi Xiaoye said: "Sukiyaki is also called hoe burning. I can't remember when it originated, but I heard that farmers simply used iron tools such as hoes and plows at hand when they were busy farming. The flat part of it is named after grilling the meat over the fire to satisfy hunger."

"It turns out that it is like this, but it is also a simple and feasible method." Yun Muqing said.

Mi Xiaoye said: "However, in my hometown, Japanese-style sukiyaki has become much more upscale. It has long been a long time ago that grilling meat on simple iron utensils is used. In family gatherings, sukiyaki is the protagonist, and it is also the place where everyone tastes wagyu beef." Representative cooking."

Yun Muqing asked with a smile: "From this point of view, this sukiyaki is also very particular?"

Mi Xiaoye nodded and said: "It can also be said that sukiyaki is complicated, but it is also simple. In my impression, plus the Japanese sukiyaki over there, the ingredients are mainly beef, green onions, vegetables, konjac, and tofu. Lord, sauces and procedures have different recipes and procedures depending on the region."

"Sure enough, it's still very particular, little boss, please explain and listen." Yun Muqing said.

Mi Xiaoye said: "Sukiyaki was popular earlier in the Kansai region. The characteristic of Kansai is that the sauce is not adjusted first, but the beef is heated in a pan, and after the beef is slightly fried, sugar and soy sauce are added to continue cooking. , and then add other ingredients such as vegetables.”

"What about the styles in other places?" Yun Muqing asked.

Mi Xiaoye said with a smile: "If you are in the Kanto region, soy sauce, sugar, mirin and dashi stock will be mixed into a sauce in advance, and then cooked with beef. Then add other ingredients such as vegetables."

"However, King Fusang issued a decree that those red meats are not allowed to be eaten. Can this be done with fish and shrimp?" Yun Muqing asked.

Mi Xiaoye said: "Since there are decrees, we can't just rely on being the envoys of the great merchants to disobey them, so we have to seek resemblance in spirit, not appearance. However, I can still think of other ways. King Fusang forbids eating red meat." , then we will use chicken instead, add fish soup as the broth, and then dip it in raw egg juice, which can make the meat smoother in the mouth, and it can be regarded as a more authentic sukiyaki."

"Miss Jun must be looking forward to it." Jun Yize laughed.

Mi Xiaoye took Jun Yize to get a few fat sea fish, bought two chickens and a small basket of eggs, and picked some wild vegetables. Although there were very few materials, the situation was such that they could only make do with it.

Fortunately, Mi Xiaoye and Yun Muqing also bought prawns, and even the darling of the night market in later generations - crayfish, which made Mi Xiaoye a lot excited.

When she came back, Mi Xiaoye simply ate some brown rice and pickled radish, and started to make dinner.
