Chapter 111 Curry, Curry
In the end, Andrei never received the name he wanted. His Majesty the King simply sent a guard and asked him to go home and rest.
As a subject, one must obey orders. Since His Majesty the King has spoken, Andre can only do as he is told.
He was a little angry and unwilling to be sent home by the guards sent by His Majesty the King in the sunset. The whole day passed quietly in the ceremony, back and forth and intrigue. The conversation with the great magician Mebucha seemed to be very fruitful, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he gained nothing.
Andre felt his brain buzzing, and a bunch of messy thoughts were swirling in his mind like a storm, making him confused and unable to grasp a clue.
He got off the carriage and watched the guards drive away. He sighed heavily and said, "I'm hungry."
He'd only scrambled a few plates of pastries at the lunch after the ceremony, and after a few brainstorming sessions, it felt like all the sugar in his body had been depleted. Andrei felt completely dejected. "I really want to eat some delicious food made with small bones..."
He loosened the collar of his military uniform as he walked towards the door, but as soon as Jericho opened the door, he smelled a rich aroma and his eyes lit up immediately: "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Curry," Jericho replied. Nekomata appeared calm on the surface, but the rising tone of his voice revealed his excitement. "Ms. Yu and Madam made several kinds of curry, and they are comparing which one is the most delicious. By the way, Master, Miss Heidi has also been invited to dinner."
"Oh, okay." Andrei hurried back to his room and changed into casual clothes. He then hurried downstairs and followed the smell into the kitchen. Sure enough, his mother, Jiangyou, Heidi, and Heidi's housekeeper and cook were all there.
In front of them was a row of large white porcelain bowls filled with curry of various colors, including red, yellow, brown, and green... Except for Jiangyou who was holding the soul fire, everyone was holding a plate of rice and was choosing their favorite curry from the porcelain bowls and pouring it on the rice.
Andre: "? Are you eating it right now?"
"Hey, Andre, you're back!" Jiang You saw him and immediately raised his bone claws to greet him, "Come and try which curry is delicious?"
"The green one is the spiciest, the red one is the second hottest, the yellow one has a rich coconut milk flavor, and the brown one is mild, rich, and a little sweet," Annina summarized briefly. "We are deciding which curry to have for dinner."
Andrei glanced at the rice piled high on their plates and asked, "...Are you sure you can still eat more after you've chosen?"
Everyone nodded vigorously, their expressions implying that "whoever can't finish it will be at a big loss", and they even looked a little bit expectant about it.
Andre: I see. If someone can't eat anymore, others can eat more. Damn it, the dining table is really like a battlefield!
Andre also followed their example, filled a plate with rice, divided the rice into four pieces, and poured a different curry on each piece. Then he was hit by the spiciness of the green curry: "Cough, cough, so spicy!"
The taste of green chilies is quite strong and pungent, but once the strong taste passes, you can taste the aroma of lemon leaves and lemongrass in the curry. The spice flavor is very rich and quite exotic.
Jericho handed over a glass of ice water at the right time. Andre took a sip to clear his palate and then took a bite of red curry.
Red curry is also very spicy, but not as pungent and irritating as green curry. The aroma of the spices is stronger and the layers are more complex. Andre tasted the aroma of fresh onions, garlic, and ginger stir-fried in oil. He suddenly felt that this curry was very suitable for pairing with lamb, which has an equally strong flavor.
He thought so and said so, and then got his girlfriend's approval.
"That's right," said Jiang You, "This curry is very suitable for cooking lamb, but we went too late today and didn't buy good lamb chops. But we did buy some very good beef brisket and prawns!"
Andre took another sip of water. This time he tried the yellow curry. Compared with the first two heavy-flavored curries, this yellow curry was much less spicy, but had a strong coconut milk aroma. It was sweet and delicious, and the layers were very varied and complex.
"I like this," Andre declared.
"I told you!" Annina laughed, "The little brat likes sweet and milky flavors."
Andre ignored his mother's teasing. He took another bite of brown curry, and his eyes also lit up.
The brown curry is filled with carrots, potatoes, onions and apples, and flour is added to thicken it, making it very rich and mild.
"I like this one too!" Andre declared again.
"Okay, the voting results are in! Everyone's tastes are pretty consistent," Takumi said with a smile. "We'll make curry king prawns and curry beef brisket omelet rice tonight!"
The methods of making curry are actually very similar. They are all based on spice powders such as turmeric, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, cloves, etc. However, each country, region and even each chef has its own mixing methods and flavor ingredients. With a slight adjustment, a variety of flavors can be created.
The most popular versions among Huntington residents are Thai yellow curry and Japanese curry. The former contains a lot of coconut milk, and has a fresh and balanced taste. It is rich in taste and very smooth and appetizing, making it very suitable for pairing with seafood and beef brisket in summer; the latter is more mellow and thick, slightly spicy and appropriately sweet, and is more suitable for pairing with a bowl of crystal clear rice in the cold winter.
As for the purest Indian curry and Thai green curry, they are a bit too irritating for the taste buds and stomachs of the people of Huntington.
The broth made from beef brisket, potatoes, carrots and onions has been cooked to a very perfect degree. After selecting the prepared curry, just add brown curry and apple cubes to the beef brisket soup and cook for a while, and you can make a very flavorful Japanese curry.
However, the Japanese curry omelet rice that Jiangyou wants to make tonight requires a little more careful processing.
She had already cooked the rice in the afternoon. Now she heated the oil in a pan and added the drained beef brisket, potatoes, carrots and onions from the curry soup. After the juice was dried up, she added the rice and continued to stir-fry evenly, so that the rice was covered with a layer of slightly burnt curry aroma. Then she scooped it out and put it in a bowl, which was then turned upside down in a deep plate.
Then she continued to heat oil in a pan, poured the beaten eggs into the pan, and when the egg liquid began to solidify slightly, she used chopsticks to pinch the center of the omelet and slowly rotated it. Then she covered the rice with the basically shaped omelet, and she could make the internet-famous tornado omelet rice!
Finally, pour a few spoonfuls of thick curry soup on the moist tornado omelet, and the delicious curry beef brisket omelet rice is ready!
