Well as much as i want to use cold rice fo making fried rice, as someone that make food at the right before eating, i will just use freshly cooked rice lol

I forgot where I heard this from and it's certainly not traditional, but if you are really short in time and want some good fried rice from freshly-cooked rice, put the freshly-cooked rice on a tray and have a fan blow over it to cool it down and dry it up. Mix it up periodically for even cooling and drying. Shouldn't take very long if you're starting from piping hot rice.

Once it's sufficiently cool and dry, you can proceed with it as if it's day-old rice.

You could use it while it’s warm, but this makes mushy fried rice since it’s still steaming hot. Putting it on a fan will certainly expedite cooling as opposed to leaving it to cool all day. And to those who are curious, you could technically use the fridge, but it’s risky as rice sucks if you leave it in the fridge too long; it gets grainy and hard, and doesn’t taste as good when reheated compared to how it is when fresh. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF IT’S NOT WHITE RICE (eg: red rice, or one of those fancier rice variants like black rice. These take more water to cook, and are terrible for fried rice)

The key after that is the seasoning and tool. You need actually good strong soy sauce: most Asian countries uses regular soy sauce, but Indonesia uses sweet soy sauce. You also need a wok to circulate the heat; best option is always a chinese round-bottom wok on a gas stove. The roundness helps distribute the heat, and you must stir it around vigorously to evenly fry the rice to get that slight crisp.

Lastly when on doubt, add butter/marg. Can’t go wrong with it, except if you’re making Indonesian nasgor, since the strength of the butter will significantly help less due to the sweet soy sauce being a very dominant, sweet taste, so don’t waste butter for it and just use marg.

I don't think so but then again we only see them when they are off from their shift.

i think he will be disappointed when he try other pub/diner and realize theyre pale in comparison to nobu

and i thought in first chapter, nobu meals generally cheap even hans surprised they only need to pay so little for the food and drinks?

Cheap or not, if you eat so many of them....not to mention the drinks too

It works better to throw it into the fridge on a baking sheet; the refrigeration process actually sucks part of the moisture out of anything its refrigerating, which is why things need to be plastic wrapped or put in storage containers to prevent them from drying out.

Ah, I remember about that.

But Four Winged Lion was never for the commonfolks and the current chef would still be stuck in his old ways if he didn't know about Nobu's existence and sample their dishes.

And the other guilds wouldn't merge into one guild and many other events may never happened or took another direction.

It is a "What if" scenario.

The leaders of the three guilds aren't exactly nobles, and they're well-known gourmands.

eagon here reminds me of a friend of mine. he started working out at the gym few years ago. he's pretty buff now, but also says shits like "i no longer eat for the taste". and to that i just say "well, sucks to be you, then"

 

[Quarterdane]

...Am I the only one who, upon reading "a disease that makes it so you can't taste anything", immediately thought of covid?

 

[LittleFlower]

What a cutie

Come to think of it, if Nobu never made their appearance in the otherworld town, then the locals and nobles may be following the newbie's thought process.

Just eat to stay alive, follow the traditions till death, salt & pepper preservation food, relationships issues

Without Diner Nobu existing, none of their advancements will ever happened until one of them dare to take a step from the norms.

Just to know, it is confirmed that there are multiples otherworld restaurant by the bard that the count brought usually as he has been in plenty of them (from izakaya Gen) and food advancement technically already great in oilia since they even have what they called a bread inspector. So in a way otherworld restaurants are a catalyst to make that advancement much faster compared to waiting oilia kingdom to teach other nation their way of cooking. Also did you forgot that they have an actual high end restaurant called the four winged lions? No offense tho, but i think food for pleasure is always available to nobles and merchants, for commoners... Maybe not so much

Have we ever seen the guards wear those helmets?

Yeah, in earlier chapters. But we no longer had a focus on guards, now that Nikolaus and Hans have gone to other jobs and Bertholdt's focus has been Helminia and the twins.
