I head to the cottage’s kitchen with Anima. While we’re nearing dinner time at the moment, I don’t plan to make anything too elaborate, so I would like to make something simple that I could cut corners with.
Last time I went fishing with Anima, we had a fish dish, so this time, I thought about having something different this time. As I tried recalling what was in my magic box, I remembered something.
[Come to think of it, have you had soba before, Anima?]
[Soba? If I’m not mistaken, I heard it was famous in Rigforeshia, but they’re not very common, so I haven’t had the opportunity to try it.]
[As I thought…… Noodles other than pasta hadn’t really become famous to the populace after all.]
Ramen and soba do exist in this world. I’ve seen ramen being served at the Six Kings Festival, and as for soba, Fors-san cultivates them, and just as Anima mentioned, it’s widely cultivated in Rigforeshia.
According to Kuro’s Eating Tour in its Entirety Guide, it seems there’s a soba-like shop in Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital, but since it’s quite far from my home, I haven’t been there.
[Let’s have soba then…… For the time being, try taking a bite, and if you don’t like the taste, you’re free to eat something else. There’s no need to force yourself, okay?]
[Understood. However, Master…… Is that soba food something that can be prepared quickly?]
[Yeah, I actually received a lot of buckwheat flour from Fors-san…… since what Alice turned into noodles for me before is in my magic box, all I need to do is boil them.]
Making use of buckwheat flour…… or perhaps, they got some soba fruit here? In any case, Fors-san cultivates soba, and as a thank you for helping her out at the Six Kings Festival, I received a large amount of buckwheat flour.
Of course, I don’t have the flour slapping technique the professionals have, so Alice prepared the noodles for me and I could have them ready just by boiling them in water. I also have Alice’s notes on how to boil them, so I should be able to make them well.
[Eating soba alone would be a bit plain, so let’s lightly sautĆ© some chicken as well. Let’s use this……]
[That is…… fumu? It has a refreshing and citrusy aroma…… Hmm? I can’t tell what fruit this is.]
[I see! As expected of Master, to possess such a rare item!]
[A- Ahaha, no, this is something Kaori-san had given me…… Well, that aside, let’s make this. Anima, can you chop the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces?]
[Understood! Please leave it to me!]
While Anima was chopping the chicken meat, I boiled water and prepared to boil the soba noodles. For the time being, I can just follow Alice’s memo, so I don’t have to worry.
Fumu fumu, so these are what soba noodles look like while uncooked huh……
The cooking…… well, it’s just boiling soba and sautĆ©ing chicken meat with yuzu kosho, so the cooking itself was done quickly. For now, since Anima mentioned this is her first time trying soba, let’s have her take a bite.
[……I see, it has a nice aroma, doesn’t it? However, this tastes rather bland.]
[Yeah, they’re actually eaten with noodle soup. Right now, I just wanted you to sample it, so I asked you to eat some as is.]
[Fumu, I see……]
[Since Anima seems fine with it, I’ll transfer them to the colander…… Alright, it’s done.]
Although it would be great if we have some tempura or something along with these, frying tempura might be a bit challenging for me…… While I’ve learned some cooking from Sieg-san, anything not in her repertoire is unknown to me, so properly frying tempura isn’t something I know how to do.
Alice would easily know how to do it, while Kaori-san would undoubtedly be able to make it too, so I should probably learn how to make some simple dishes from them sometime.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [Alright, soba…… doesn’t seem like they’d be able to feed each other or any lovey-dovey tropes like that.]
? ? ?: [Couldn’t they just do that with the chicken meat?]
Serious-senpai: [……………]
