Originally, Shinji still wanted to make Chinese hot pot, but many of the ingredients couldn't be found at all, and it was difficult to buy even a special pot, so he could only have a chance to get it again later.
Shinji had been at Ayana's side for so long, and by the time she got home, Ritsuko and Misato had already put the ingredients on the table.
"Cheers!" Shinji and Ayanami, of course, drank juice and beer from the other two adults.
"It's such a hearty day, I thought Misato had prepared a quick dark dish again. Ritsuko teased.
"And it's really rare that someone like Shinji invited Rei-chan. Rei-chan, I'm glad you're here, welcome!" Misato poured a large sip of beer and sat in a heroic position.
"Quack!" PenPen was also happy to see the new guests.
"Well, thank you. Ayanami was obviously not used to this kind of scene, and her expression was still faint.
Ritsuko on one side was thoughtful.
"Okay, let's get started, look at Shinji, I'm not good at this. "Misato is waiting to eat ready-made.
Shinji rubbed his hands together, his movements were reverent, and it was time for the show personality.
He took a piece of white and brushed it along the hot pot, "first coat the pan with tallow." "The whole bottom of the pan became oily.
Then put a thin cut of beef on top, you can see the texture of the beef red and white, obviously a lot of high-quality beef, now there are fewer families who can afford to eat, and the economy has just recovered.
The aroma of beef began to fill the room.
"Ayana, let's just eat vegetables in a while, I have prepared a lot of vegetarian dishes for you. Shinji said with a smile.
"Good. ”
"Wow~ It's so slimy. "Misato and Ritsuko, two single older young women, have been hurt, no, Ritsuko and Maya Ibuki can play...... However, Misato still smirked and said, "Shinji is really thoughtful, and he is a good man." ”
"That's much better than your father. Ritsuko praised, which shows how dissatisfied she is with Lao Ikati, after all, Lao Ikari has been hanging her and does not respond positively.
After that, sprinkle sugar on top of the meat. Shinji shook his hands as evenly as he could, and Ayanami watched intently.
"When it looks like it's flavorful, add soy sauce and sake. Shinji explained, "If you want to make it Kanto-style, I'll change it to a pre-prepared sauce, but I prefer the romantic Kansai flavor." "Shinji has entered the state of a food show host.
All 3 spectators were bluffed.
"The ingredients are, sliced green onions, grilled tofu, shredded konjac, king oyster mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms. Shinji began to put in the ingredients one by one, each taking up an area.
"The calcium in konjac shredded will make the meat hard, so keep some distance from the beef. ”
"Oh-" the audience nodded, "Shinji, you're so good!" Misato couldn't help but praise.
"It's nothing, I checked the information last night. ”
The corners of Misato's mouth froze, "Don't talk about the hot pot method you only learned last night?"
"yes, what's the problem?"
"Uh, it's no ......" Misato continues to canned beer, and Ritsuko suddenly has a bad premonition.
The ingredients are distributed in a fan shape in the pot, "the proportion of each ingredient is 1/6 meat, 7/36 green onion, 1/4 tofu, 1/6 konjac shredded, 5/36 mushroom, and 1/12 enoki mushroom." ”
Misato and Ritsuko are unconscious, and Ayaami holds her chin like a student listening to a lecture.
"Add some water at the end and put a handful of coriander in the middle......"
"Wait!" Misato stopped Ritsuko, "Shinji, the parsley is terrible, can you change it?" Misato asked, and Ritsuko nodded in support.
It seems that they are afraid of coriander, Shinji looked at Ayana, "Rei, do you like cilantro?"
"No, it smells like bed bugs. ”
"Oh, that's not going to go, I don't like it either. ”
Misato rolled her eyes, the ingredients were prepared by Shinji.
"Then change to basil, put the lid on and wait for three minutes. ”
Then Shinji picked up an egg and said, "When the juice of the vegetables fills the pot, now crack the egg into a bowl and stir nine and a half times." "That's right, eggs are a dipping sauce for Japanese hot pot, as a cooling and flavorful ingredient.
The three of them did so silently.
"Leigh, eggs aren't meat, it's okay. Shinji takes care of her feelings everywhere.
Ayanami frowned, "I'll give it a try." ”
"Okay, don't force it. Shinji said softly.
"It's time!" as soon as the lid opened, a stream of food vapor rushed in.
"I'm moving!" Misato couldn't wait to chop the beef.
"Wait!" Shinji stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Let the guests eat first. Shinji said seriously.
"Okay, okay. Misato pouted, swallowing.
So Ayanami and Ritsuko put down chopsticks together, and they both sandwiched mushrooms.
"Now I can eat, Chef Shinji?"
"Please ......"
Misato lost half of the beef with one chopstick, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Misato looked satisfied.
"Quack!" PenPen also got his share.
Shinji also took a bite of beef and dipped it in the egg mixture, "Sure enough, Japanese hot pot is an evil way." Another day, I would like you to try the Chinese butter hot pot, it is absolutely delicious. ”
He looked at Ayanami again, "Rei, how's it going?"
I saw that after Ayanami nibbled on the mushroom dipped in the egg, he took it in his mouth and frowned, and he couldn't stop coughing after swallowing it.
"What's the matter, choking?" Shinji stroked her back.
"The eggs are fishy. "Ayaami Road.
"If you don't eat it, you will spit it out, and you will have to swallow it. ”
"You did it, I'm afraid of wasting ......," Rei Ayanami said.
"Hurry up. Shinji handed over a glass of water, then went into the kitchen to tinker, and after a while, he came out with five kinds of sauces lined up in front of Ayana's table.
"Leigh, try and see which one you like. In the end, Ayanami chose a sweet soy sauce.
Misato and Ritsuko were speechless, and this meal was sour in their hearts.
After the above steps are repeated several times in a row, the beef is finished.
"It's a pity that the store has a limited supply, so that's all for today. Shinji said and looked at the fat penguin, who was still desperately eating, "But don't we have spare ingredients?"
PenPen's movements froze instantly, and he ran back to his cabin shivering.
"Don't scare PenPen, you're too bad. Misato said.
"This pot can't hold this fat penguin...... Shinji continued.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there's one last course!" Shinji pulled out a black ball from the fridge, textured like jelly, half the size of a football ball.
"What is this?" Misato and Ritsuko looked curious.
Shinji put the unidentified object in the pot, "The ingredients I found at the Chung Hwa store should be heated for 1 minute and 30 seconds. ”
After heating, each person was given a lump of black jelly-like unknown objects, and Misato was more bold to taste it first, "Well, it's slippery, sweet, and has a smell of herbs, it's delicious." ”
"Ah, it's so full. In the end, Misato stroked her stomach like a pregnant woman.
"Is Rei full?" Shinji asked.
"Well, it's delicious. ”
