Chapter 725: Eating in Padiya
The giant hairy crab claws are indeed delicious enough, and they can exude the ultimate flavor even if they are simply boiled or grilled.
However, there are three main problems in processing large ingredients:
1. It is difficult to taste.
2. It is difficult to cook thoroughly.
3. It is easy to be tough on the outside and raw on the inside.
After boiling for a long time, the crab meat on the outside may be too tough to chew, while the crab meat inside is still raw.
Because of this, how to heat the meat evenly is the main problem faced by Zhou You and A Jin.
"So, you mean to let me use electric current to cook it?"
Faced with the trainer's eloquent talk, Zekrom, who was released from the Poké Ball for such a small matter, had an extremely complicated look in his eyes: "I'm not an electric oven."
Zhou You shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do. Although Eden, Arthur and Leftovers all master electric-attribute moves, it's a bit difficult for them to continuously release electric-attribute energy."
Only the legendary dragons who are proficient in super powers and master electric attributes can use the superb electric attribute control to cook the Super Giant Crab claw from the inside out at one time without any practice and experience.
"Even if you praise me so much..."
Zekrom wanted to refuse, but Zhou You rarely asked it and Reshiram to do things. Since they were awakened, they basically haven't helped the trainer much.
"Well, who made me master the control of electric attribute energy?"
"Yeah!"
"Woof!"
Ajin's scalp was numb, and he always felt that Qiao Qiao often took out a lot of heavy things inadvertently.
With the help of the legendary elves with electric attributes, the two people's difficulties in processing ingredients were immediately solved.
Eden: I don't think that's how the legendary elves are used.
In any case, the only thing left is the cooking method of cooked crab claws.
Ajin listed the methods of crab meat: "Sukiyaki, crab sticks, fish balls, steamed rice, soup, salad, bibimbap, sushi..."
"Don't forget that the shell of the crab claw itself can also be used for cooking." Zhou You reminded, "The Padians will extract ingredients from it to make crab sticks."
"Wouldn't it be better to cook soup?"
Ajin's habit is to steam the shell and then cook soup, and use the soup to soak rice after eating the crab meat. The taste can make him finish three bowls of rice!
While the two of them took a part of the Zekrom's electrically cooked crab meat and started to process it, Arthur finally cut the tentacles of the land jellyfish into almost translucent slices.
"This is a cold dish." Zhou You handed the vinegar, soy sauce and side dishes to the other party.
Arthur, holding the seasoning, was thoughtful, as if he was considering how much pepper to put to prevent others from not being able to eat it.
"No spicy, no spicy, add more vinegar, no spicy, no spicy..."
Eden, who was cooking jam, prayed secretly.
Looking at the group of people and the elves cooking naturally, Motor Lizard had a hard time adapting for a while.
After all, its job was just to transport humans from one station to another, and those passengers could only prepare some sandwiches in the wild at most.
There were many people who tried to feed it as a mount, but due to its duties, Motor Lizard could only eat the feed provided by the administrator during work.
Although it usually had no psychological burden for the guests who refused to feed it, this time...
Motor Lizard looked at the wind speed dog sitting upright not far away, and vaguely noticed the excellent craftsmanship of this group of people.
So greedy, but you can't eat blindly at work!
In the end, Zhou You and his party finished a large table of crab feast.
"Thank you for your hard work, I prepared sandwiches for you."
Taking the meal with different seasonings, fruits and vegetables and crab meat from the trainer's hands, Zekrom couldn't help but sigh that his own trainer was really unruly.
However, they have not eaten much since ancient times. After turning into dragon stones and waking up, fighting and sleeping repeatedly, they have never come into contact with other things.
It is a rare thing to have an ordinary life now and slowly look forward to the development of this world in the future.
However, the motor lizard shook his head firmly and refused to accept feeding while working.
"Oh, it's okay to eat a little secretly." A Jin hugged the motor lizard's neck familiarly, "If the administrator didn't see it, it's equivalent to not eating, and we can't hurt you."
The working lizard was particularly embarrassed when he saw this, and he cut off his tail on the spot to escape.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat it. Let's save it for it first and wait until we get to the next lizard station."
Zhou You was not in a hurry for a while. When local tourists wanted to feed the motor lizard or the angry parrot, they basically handed it over to the administrator after arriving at the station.
The reason why these working elves must eat specific feeds according to regulations is, on the one hand, to obtain sufficient physical strength, and on the other hand, to avoid the dilemma of food poisoning.
Once the motorcycle lizards get food poisoning in the wild, passengers other than trainers will almost certainly face danger.
"Alas, but we are obviously professionals." Ajin boasted regretfully.
But he also knew that the motorcycle lizards had no ability to distinguish, and they could only strictly abide by the rules and regulations.
Fortunately, Zhou You now has a space backpack, and the crab meat cooked by Zekrom is also very hygienic. It should not be a problem to store it properly for ten days or half a month.
So the group enjoyed a rare sumptuous dinner in the wild.
The first time they went out for adventure since they were born, the fire fox and the fire ball mouse almost buried their whole bodies in the food...
"Hey, I originally thought that the crab claws of the hairy crab had a salty and mellow taste, but after being steamed, it turned out to have a strong sweet and salty taste?"
Ah Jin was thoughtful and soon realized the source of the sweetness: "We didn't put cream in the soup when we made it. It should be the smell of the plants that the Treasure Master Hairy Cliff Crab and land jellyfish competed for."
He still remembered that when he picked up the tentacles, the closer he got to the plant, the stronger the sweet taste became.
According to his guess, the giant elves in Padia, whom Qiao Qiao calls the Treasure Lord, are likely to often eat this special ingredient - and they all taste it.
"Maybe, but not necessarily. Doesn't the cold land jellyfish have no sweet taste?"
Wandering around, he picked up a crystal clear jellyfish slice. This ingredient not only has the chewiness of enoki mushrooms, but also has the umami taste of matsutake, wild mushrooms and bamboo fungus. Even synthetic MSG can only be put to shame compared with it.
Land jellyfish did not age as a result of evolution as he had imagined - just like old cattle and sheep taste bad.
On the contrary, the evolved terrestrial jellyfish is the type that gets better and better the more you chew it. Even if there is only a small plate of cold jellyfish, it will not be a problem to last a whole football game. Is it definitely the most suitable snack?
Although I have never eaten cold wild jellyfish in my travels, I guess it will not have the evolutionary chewiness, and will probably be replaced by a more tender and crisp texture.
What does this taste like...
"By the way, it's the more delicious fungus! No wonder field jellyfish and land jellyfish are called fungus Pokémon."
