Chapter 76 The correct way to make insect delicacies
"Shima Sage, your dish is not bad!"
After taking a bite, Naruto came to the conclusion that, in fact, the insect tastes slippery and not that bad. Of course, for a normal human, the taste is still a bit difficult to accept.
Among them, there is no taste, this is the first point, and the second point is the most serious point, that is, the earthy smell.
Although the insect has been spit out mud, the earthy smell is still too strong and has not been removed.
In this case, eating it can only be said to be edible and barely edible.
"Naruto, don't please me, an old woman, and talk nonsense!"
"Shima Sage, I am also a cook, and I have strict control over the dishes."
After Naruto finished speaking, he was afraid that Shima Sage would not believe it, so he took out various kitchen utensils and seasonings from his backpack.
Seeing this, Shima Sage was surprised, and then excited.
"Naruto, I didn't expect you to be really good at cooking. Can you tell me what are the advantages of my dishes so that I can improve them."
Hearing what Shima Sage said, Naruto smiled and said, "Shima Sage, because we are different races, there are differences in the acceptance of some dishes, so you have to tell me how you feel after eating this thing, so that I can make an evaluation."
"After all, I am a human being. If I evaluate it, it must be based on human standards, but if it were you, the feeling of eating it would probably be different."
Hearing this, Shima Sage's eyes lit up, and he immediately expressed his thoughts about this dish after he and his wife had eaten it.
After listening, Naruto summed it up in one sentence, that is, Fukasaku Sage didn't feel good after eating it, and it could only be said to be the general level of human restaurants.
It's just that they have been eating it for many years, plus some racial characteristics, so they didn't feel anything wrong with eating this insect.
This time, after Naruto understood, he began to make a reasonable analysis.
"Shima Sennin, I already understand. First of all, you also tasted the earthy smell when you ate it, and this earthy smell can actually be removed."
"The second point is this smell. From your description, I know that you usually add some seasonings after cooking this thing, but there are not enough seasonings, so it is impossible to reach a certain level."
"The third point is that you don't feel that this insect is not delicious, but you are used to it, which makes your tolerance for this thing increase, and you feel that it is also okay, just like picking a general from a group of short people."
"And the fourth point, which is the most important point, is that your race is natural, and you often start eating raw, and you rarely cook this kind of thing. Of course, this is a bit repetitive with the third point."
"..."
Naruto said many of his own opinions and analyzed them very well.
After listening to Naruto's analysis, the situation of their Myoboku Mountain was basically the same as what Naruto said. At this moment, Shima Sennin looked at Naruto with a look in his eyes. This is simply a cooking god!
"Naruto, if you were to cook this dish, how would you cook it according to human tastes and the tastes of Myoboku Mountain?"
Hearing what Shima Sage said, Naruto seemed to be possessed by Little Chef at this moment, "Shima Sage, where is your kitchen? Do you have any ingredients? I will show you myself!"
"Yes, follow me."
Naruto followed Shima Sage to the kitchen. As he walked out, the toads around him were all curious. What was this new human boy doing?
Especially following Shima Sage, this situation seemed very complicated.
Even Fukasaku Sage was puzzled when he saw this. Wasn't this old woman going to deliver food?
Why did this happen? He had to go and see. He always felt that there was something big going on.
On the other side, Naruto came to the kitchen under the leadership of Shima Sage, and then it was Naruto's performance time.
Naruto took out a few worms from a bamboo cage nearby, and then asked, "What do you normally use to make them spit mud?"
"This herb, and some salt!"
After saying that, Shima Sennin took out a blade of grass from the side.
Naruto took it, put it in a basin, poured in salt and water, and stirred it.
Not to mention, the effect of this thing spitting mud is really good. In just a dozen seconds, the worm spit mud frame by frame, which is simply more outrageous than laxatives.
Seeing this thing, Naruto's eyes lit up. This is simply a chef's magic weapon, and it can even be used in other fields.
After waiting for the spitting mud to be completed, Naruto picked up the worm and smelled it to see how strong the remaining mud smell is.
"At this time, generally speaking, if you do the same thing as before, you have to use strong-flavored ingredients or spices to cover or remove the earthy smell."
"Among them, there are peppers, lemons, peppercorns, vinegar and other things."
"At the same time, you can also add some strong liquor, which can remove some of the smells and also have some magical effects."
"..."
Naruto said a lot and began to demonstrate it himself.
The first dish, the drunken worm, began to be made.
When Shima Sage saw the finished product, especially Naruto used strong liquor to make the worm drunk, and then used various seasonings to slightly marinate it, he had just opened the lid, and Shima Sage was shocked by the various flavors in it. It was simply a brand new experience.
Shima Sage couldn't wait and tasted it immediately.
After taking this bite, for a moment, it was as if the bugs were still beating in his mouth. It was so elastic and delicious. The most important thing was the taste. It was so delicious, spicy and sour, filling the taste buds.
"It's delicious, Naruto, you're a master chef!"
Shima Sennin gave him a thumbs up. The look in her eyes when she looked at Naruto had changed. This was simply all kinds of worship.
Seeing this, Naruto smiled, and then continued with his hands, "The first type is actually considered raw pickling. You can use it on other ingredients. However, that kind of eating method has requirements on your stomach. Of course, as toads, you can basically ignore this."
"And this second type is much better."
"This second type is cold salad!"
After Naruto finished speaking, he took out one of the worms that had been processed before, and then blanched it until it was almost cooked, then took it out and put it into ice water.
After that, under Naruto's amazing knife skills, it began to turn into thin threads, and then added various seasonings, as well as the most important soul thing-Sichuan spicy oil.
Seeing that the dishes were ready, Shima Sennin couldn't wait and started eating directly. After this bite, it couldn't be more delicious. It was full of flavor and not too spicy at the same time. It was a magical addition to the meal.
Of course, there is no such thing as rice in Miaomu Mountain, so it is a magical weapon for lowering insects.
"Hmm~"
"fragrant!"
Just when Shima Sennin was enjoying his meal, Fukasaku Sennin rushed in and shouted, "Old lady, leave some for me!"
