Chapter 370: Scallions
Unlike running a general store, if you need to entertain a large number of guests, the best solution for a small restaurant like Heath with only one person is to choose to launch a signature dish, and then let the guests order this signature dish as much as possible, so that Heath's workload will be reduced. Otherwise, if the guests order different types of dishes, then Heath will be too busy unless he has three heads and six arms, and the kitchen is so small, and there are not many types of dishes that can be made at the same time.
However, there is a disadvantage to this, which is that it is difficult to satisfy the customers, after all, it is difficult for the main dishes to cater to everyone's taste.
When it came to choosing the main dish, Heath finally decided to make fried rice. After all, fried rice is relatively simple and has a strong palatability, so few people dislike it. Even if a customer has a picky taste, Heath can make some subtle changes to the fried rice to suit the customer's taste.
This is also a little trick of Heath. He hopes that in this way he can make the satisfaction he gains not so low.
Moreover, the preparation work for fried rice is relatively simple. Heath only needs to cook the rice and set it aside. Although there is a saying that fried rice should be eaten overnight, in fact, in Heath's opinion, the biggest difference between overnight rice and freshly cooked rice is the difference in water content. If it is the kind of rice that has just been cooked, then the rice is prone to have a high water content, making the fried rice soft and sticky, and the taste deteriorates. This is why few people use freshly cooked rice to make fried rice. The rice left out for the next day no longer has as much water, so the taste of the fried rice will be relatively better.
Of course, there is a solution to this problem. Even if Seath just cooks the rice, he can put it in Dialga's pressure cooker to achieve the purpose of quick overnight storage. There is no need to worry about the rice easily spoiling in the hot summer. However, some methods of steaming rice can also be tried.
However, in Heath's opinion, the most critical point about fried rice is the choice of rice. There are many types of rice. Heath once bought rice from the Galar region in Viridian City. That kind of rice has a strong water absorption capacity. One finger joint of ordinary rice is enough to absorb enough water, but that kind of rice requires two finger joints, otherwise it will be half-cooked. Rice can be eaten as porridge if it is cooked too soft, but if it is half-cooked, it will be really embarrassing.
So when a novice cooks rice for the first time, if he is not sure about the amount of water, it is better to add a little more rather than too little, as half-cooked rice is inedible.
"Dialga is a good man..." Heath looked at the magical kitchen utensils in his kitchen. He had to say that Dialga's ability was simply too powerful for a chef. It could even be described as extremely strong. You know, for a chef, ingredients are a very important aspect, and cooking skills are also a very important aspect, but time is also very important. For example, the kimchi made by Heath takes a lot of time.
"Speaking of which, my kimchi should be almost ready, right?" Speaking of kimchi, Heath remembered the other kind of kimchi he had made after pickling the previous pickles. Now that he thought about it, the time was about right. After taking a look at the content on the navigation map, Heath took out the jar of kimchi and put it aside.
Heath specially prepared a new pair of chopsticks, then opened the lid of the kimchi container and took out the kimchi he had pickled. Looking at the red kimchi in the small bowl, Heath nodded with satisfaction. It smelled good, but he didn't know how the leeks were doing.
The pickled cabbage Heath made this time is radish, which is a relatively special type of pickled vegetable. The taste of radish is very good, sweet and sour, and it goes well with rice. Even if it is not used to stir-fry other ingredients, just taking a bite of it is enough to eat a bowl of rice. If you want to unlock a more delicious way to eat it, then Heath thinks fried radish with meat is the best choice.
However, there are some requirements for the pickling technique of radish. It cannot be too sour or too sweet. Only the right amount of sour and sweet is best. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people have different tastes and just like to eat very sour radish, that’s another matter. But if it is Heath himself, he thinks that sour and sweet radish is more in line with Heath’s requirements.
The method of stir-frying radish with meat is very simple. After chopping the radish into pieces, take out the minced meat and stir-fry. After the minced meat changes color, you can add the chopped radish and stir-fry together. The heat needs to be controlled during the stir-frying process. And because the taste of radish is mainly sweet and sour, there is basically no need to add any other seasonings. If you have to say, Heath thinks adding a little salt to adjust the seasoning will be enough.
Originally, Heath had planned to go down and bring his Pokémon with him, but seeing these extremely sleepy little guys, Heath gave up the plan and quietly got off the food truck. He then went to the Green Ridge City market to buy a lot of ingredients, and carried them back in large and small bags. If Heath wasn't so strong, he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to carry them. However, with these ingredients, Heath was basically prepared to entertain the guests today. No matter what strange requests the guests made, Heath should be able to satisfy them.
In order to prevent some customers from making strange requests, Heath also bought some fruits. When Heath was cooking for his friends in his previous life, he met a weird guy who liked to eat fruit fried rice. Heath was stunned for a moment at the time, but still made a portion of fruit fried rice for this guy.
There are some requirements for the choice of fruits for fruit fried rice. The simplest way is naturally to use pineapple, which tastes quite good. Mango is also OK and has been tested by foodies, but that kind of mango is often used to make mango sticky rice.
The fruit Heath has seen most often when making fried rice is pineapple.
When Heath got on the car, he was stunned for a moment because he saw a person sitting in his dining car, a very familiar person. The other person's green hair left a deep impression on Heath.
"Why are you here?" Heath was a little surprised. The security of his dining car was really not good. It was okay for Mew to come in and out freely, but now Rayquaza could also come in and out freely.
But if Mew can do it, it doesn't seem strange that Rayquaza can do it too.
