Gate of Amitilicia Online
Episode 123: Noodles
"Yes, my lord!
The island dish meant that after a classic dish with fresh seafood came out, your grandfather Wanda put a deep dish on the table. It's a golden soup with a little meat dumpling. No, there's an elongated object sinking in the soup.
"Ramen, so...?
That was a dish that looked just like ramen. Is it something like a simple topped salt ramen?
"Ramen? What the hell?
"Oh, no... you look like the food we have in our hometown,"
I say that to Wanda, who tilts his neck, and then I look at the plate again. Yeah, it looks like ramen after all.
"What kind of food is this?
"I say Drulano, it's potato food."
"... potatoes?
Well, I feel like I saw it, I don't see potatoes anywhere...
"I grow it on the island of Bruinzell, and there's a callus potato. And then I made it."
I mean, this noodle is made of potatoes, right? How can I cook like this?
You know what I mean when I try it?
"So, don't sit down"
He nodded at the lizard and took the spoon first. Cover the soup and include it in your mouth.
"Whoa, this is..."
It was a rich soup with a concentrated taste of seafood based on the saltiness. It's just a thick soup, unlike the palate I expected.
"I'll sit in a soup that will satisfy you."
The lizard exhales happily. Although soup alone is a finished delicacy, this dish is a potato dish, and the main character is the noodles.
Now I used a fork and wrapped the noodles soaked in the soup. Carry it in your mouth with yellowish translucent, well-tangled soup.
"Yarn conyak, huh?
The texture was that of the yarn conyak. With that said, Konyaku was also made from potatoes. However, the difference with Konyak is that it has a strong potato flavour. I haven't even beaten the taste of soup. I see, it's definitely potato food.
"Don't sit down with interesting dishes. Seafood soup really suits the potato-like noodles."
"Oh, this is delicious"
The taste is unpleasant. But...
"What's wrong with you?
I was stopping my hand and staring at Drulano, Mr. Wanda with a strange face. It's nothing, I shake my head and stab a fork in the meat dough.
"Stick around, huh?
It's not just the rind, it's also the loose ends. Did the slight aroma mix the roasted fish once? It also contains chopped carrots and has a number of interesting textures.
"Yeah, yummy"
Wind Drulano with a fork while suppressing the impulse to gush.
After eating and being led to each room, Wanda asked me to show her the kitchen.
"Get the kitchen?
To Mr. Wanda leaning down on his neck, he nods and continues.
"I'd like to see Drulano, to be exact. Hopefully, some soup."
"Well, I don't mind. What, are you into cooking?
"Yeah. Sometimes if it's not hard, I make it myself. Oh, if it's the secret of the inn, there's nothing we've been talking about."
"I don't mind. There are some things outside of this island that are troublesome to procure."
"Thank you"
I thanked Mr. Wanda and let him into the kitchen.
There is no difference between the kitchen in the inn that I have rented before, such as stone shavings on the table of a working tree.
"This is the ingredient callus potato."
What he showed me was a potato with a big fist. The skin looks like scorched tea or black.
"Are you going to process this?
"Oh. Skin it, boil it, then fold it down. Add the water that springs up on this island."
"How come the water on this island?
"When you put it in, the potato hardens and it can be processed. It just doesn't matter where it springs from."
You mean the ingredients of the hot spring act and solidify? Maybe if I knew what that was, I could make it outside the island. The potatoes were sold on the island market, and they wouldn't only grow here.
"Do you use special things for soup?
"This is usually seafood caught in the sea here."
In a large pan, there is an earlier soup. I noticed it when I saw it.
"You don't have the thickness you just did."
"Oh, because I would use it for other dishes. When you turn it into Drulano, you put a thickness on it."
I see... convenient.
"Mr. Wanda, can I have a Drulano? However, the soup is hot without thickening."
"I don't mind that... but there's not much soup involved, is there?
"I don't mind."
Leaning his neck, Mr. Wanda gave me the Drulano I asked for. Heh heh, now...
"Phi ~ s ~ t ~ of ~?"
All of a sudden, I heard a grudge of lizards. Turning around and looking up, a lizard was' sticking 'to the kitchen ceiling like a yamori. This guy, when?!?
"Do you want to sit in a runaway position?"
"What are you talking about, don't you? It's pure culinary research."
The swordfish falling from the ceiling shakes me off. Naturally, it didn't make sense.
"Uh... what the hell?
Mr. Wanda's inquiry stopped the lizard.
"What does that have to do with what I was thinking when I was eating Drulano earlier?
"Er, you said earlier, it looks like the dish in my hometown,"
Peel off the shingle lizard's hand and turn back to Mr. Wanda.
"Oh, you did say that. Ramen, is that it?
"Yes. So, except for the thickness from Drulano's soup, I think it's going to be about the same thing. That's why I wanted to try it."
"Oh, so you said the original soup. But then I should have said it on the spot. It's not that much trouble."
"That's true, but there was another problem."
I took the chopsticks out of storage. Of course, I didn't sell it at the GAO store, so I scraped the right tree myself.
"Chopsticks, it's a dining tool we use in our hometown. Except for some dishes, when you eat at home, use this to eat."
"That's an unusual tool. Is that how you can eat well?
"Because I've been using it since I was a kid. I'll pick soybeans with this. So, I also eat the dish 'Long Noodles Soaked in Juice' like Drulano... I soak it up and eat it. I mean, you make noises."
Making noise and eating would now be a violation of manners in any country, but in Japan, only when eating noodles is an exception. It is normal to rinse and eat.
However, that can only be done if you eat Japanese noodle dishes. As for food culture within GAO, as far as I've been dealing with it, I haven't met any inhabitants who are soaking and eating anything. In other words, rinsing and eating noodles would be a violation of manners within GAO.
"That's why I couldn't offer earlier, and I'm still going back to my room to eat."
"Well, I see what you're trying to say."
said Mr. Wanda, nodding with his arms together.
"Sure, it's bad behavior to make a mess noise and eat. Making noise and making soup is not a good way to eat. Even though there are cultural differences, this isn't your home town. It's a thankful story you took that into account. Well, you don't have to worry so much about what we eat."
Well, what does that mean? To us leaning our necks,
"'Cause this inn allows animals to go inside, right? Naturally, the animals eat here. Even your partner did, didn't he? I can't help but tell them not to make noise and eat."
and Mr. Wanda shrugging his shoulders. Well, I guess so...
"Whatever the animal is, it would be a different matter if people could do that here, too"
I appreciate the words, but I'm only selfish as a Japanese, so I wouldn't dare to do it in a public place.
I was in the inn kitchen again right now, talking about lizards and Japanese noodles while I rinsed the Drulano that I got salted ramen style.
In front of me is a pan, which contains black plank-shaped objects. Kelp that was previously recovered in the sea and left to dry.
What we are making is udon juice. I wanted Japanese noodles, that's what Tsukikage said. Log out and eat, but if you can eat easily within the GAO, that's fine. No matter how much you eat, you're not fat!
That said, ramen is impossible. I don't have the knowledge or the skill to make noodles and soups from scratch. I have experience with soba noodles, but I can't because I don't have soba noodles. No. Is there soba in the GAO?
The only thing I could remember was my mother's handmade udon, so I decided to make it that way. Although only vegan udon can be made because there are no leeks or utensils.
While slowly taking the dashi on a low heat, the smoked bonito bought on the market on this island is shredded into small pieces with a knife and chipped. There's bonito in GAO!? And although I was surprised, it seems very different from that in Japan, and when I asked how it was made, the Maldives Fish seemed closer. However, I have heard that Japanese style dashi can be taken with Maldives fish, so it was used as a substitute. Expect [culinary research] for Japanese-style bonito. Or maybe the [Amity Lycia Fisheries Association] is working on it.
Remove the kelp before simmering and add the smoked chips. Balmian fruit juice was added instead of soy sauce while maintaining the addition and subtraction of the fire. In the meantime, I'm just going to try to reproduce what's original in GAO.
When it boils, add more bonito chips and stop the fire. Around the time they sank into the juice, they creaked in a wooden ladle, transferred to a small plate, and tasted -
"You're missing something..."
I'm going to try to recreate the way my mother did when she was making udon at home, but I'm not sure if there's any material missing or if it's the difference that comes from the material difference.
Lord Fist, I'm ready. I'll sit down.
A lizard came down from the room. I have something wrapped in a white cloth in my hand.
"Put it on that table over there. So, get a taste of the juice."
I'll transfer the juice to a small plate and give it to you. Either way, the lizard put it in his mouth.
"What do you say? I feel like I'm missing something."
"Hmm... I'll take a seat on my own, but won't you take a seat in Mirin? When my family went to a handmade udon workshop, I felt like I was using it."
I looked over at the ingredients, etc. this one was serving, and Tsukikage said. Mirin, what? Mother, were you using Mirin?
"... there's nothing in GAO, is there?
"Mirin is definitely a seasoning made from rice, I thought it was"
Nooo, I didn't know there wasn't enough ingredients here...
"Do you have any idea what Mirin's substitute is?
"Hate and"
No, you can't. In case of trouble, please do it online. No, it really helps to be able to connect to the internet from within the GAO!
"There's sugar in sake. Don't sit there. And Coke... Neither of them are in GAO, so I'll sit down."
"Anything else, and... honey? And... sugar in white wine, huh?"
I've also looked into Mirin itself, but if you're going to say it in a violent way, it's alcohol with a lot of sugar. Then white wine and sugar are closer than honey, huh?
I have sugar. There's no white wine. The wine I sourced from Zachris and the others was red.
"Mr. Wanda, do you have any white wine?
"I do. You want to use it?
Mr. Wanda brought me a bottle of white wine while I said it. Place the white wine in a small plate, drop the sugar, dissolve, and try to lick it. Yeah, I don't know... I've never licked Mirin itself in the first place, so I can't compare it.
"Awkward, you've never spoken directly of Mirin himself. I'll sit down, don't you understand?
When I offered a small plate of mirin mochi, the lizard shook his neck to the left and right. That's right.
"Man's got guts."
Add just a little of the mirin noodles to the juice and stir. If it fails, we'll think about it then.
Again, when I tasted the juice, it felt better than just now. I can't help but differ from the flavor I remember. I think it's enough because it tastes like udon.
"Um, it's pretty much better. I'll sit down."
"Heh... what can I say, that's a sweet flavor"
Tsukikakagi thumbed up and Wanda, who tasted it as well, leaked that sentiment. All right, this will do the juice.
Then we'll go to the noodles.
"Be ready. I'll sit down."
The lizard opens the cloth wrap that was on the table. Inside, udon balls were already raised. Did you get this far?
"Well, let's finish it."
In a large pan with hot water, prepared separately, sink the udon balls. I can't shake it when this happens...... shall we have it made again in the blacksmith for the future?
Gently have some water, put it in a deep dish, and pour the juice. Too bad there's no more, but now we're done with udon. Vegan udon, okay? The bonito chip I used to remove the dashi remains in it, so the bonito chip udon?
"I have chili, use it if you like"
"Oh, I'm really going to sit in the udon."
After giving it to the delightful lizard, I also give Mr. Wanda a deep plate.
"Udon, it's our hometown dish. It may be hard to eat if it's a fork, but eat it. Have the chili powder of your choice."
"That's not what I was saying, Ramen, is it?"
"Because ramen is not easy to make so far. Because it takes time and effort to make soup, and I don't know how to make it in detail. There are a few noodle dishes in my hometown, but this time I made them because I knew how to make them, and they had ingredients."
"Then I'll have it. By the way, do you guys want to go back to your rooms and eat again?
"Yeah, I'm going to."
"Then once, can you rinse it here and show it to me? I want to see how you eat."
Mr. Wanda says that. No, you just told me not to worry about it.
"Is that okay?
"I don't mind. Also, if possible, can you tell me how to use the hash and the dogs? Everything's a challenge."
Nodding, Mr. Wanda deepened her grin.
Wanda seemed to clap out that she didn't hear a sound unexpectedly after showing it. What kind of noise did you imagine?
And then I tried to do it, but it didn't work. I've heard it's difficult for foreigners, but the same seems to be true for GAO residents. Same goes for chopsticks.
I was satisfied with the taste of the udon itself, but personally, there are some parts of it that remain unsatisfactory, so I decided to ask [Cooking Research] to manufacture Mirin. Until then, let's make a gesture with substitutes. Let's study what's closest to Minori.
