I head to the cottageās kitchen with Anima. While weāre nearing dinner time at the moment, I donāt 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 Iām not mistaken, I heard it was famous in Rigforeshia, but theyāre not very common, so I havenāt had the opportunity to try it.]
[As I thoughtā¦ā¦ Noodles other than pasta hadnāt really become famous to the populace after all.]
Ramen and soba do exist in this world. Iāve seen ramen being served at the Six Kings Festival, and as for soba, Fors-san cultivates them, and just as Anima mentioned, itās widely cultivated in Rigforeshia.
According to Kuroās Eating Tour in its Entirety Guide, it seems thereās a soba-like shop in Symphonia Kingdomās Royal Capital, but since itās quite far from my home, I havenāt been there.
[Letās have soba thenā¦ā¦ For the time being, try taking a bite, and if you donāt like the taste, youāre free to eat something else. Thereās no need to force yourself, okay?]
[Understood. However, Masterā¦ā¦ Is that soba food something that can be prepared quickly?]
[Yeah, I actually received a lot of buckwheat flour from Fors-sanā¦ā¦ 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 flourā¦ā¦ 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 donāt 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 Aliceās notes on how to boil them, so I should be able to make them well.
[Eating soba alone would be a bit plain, so letās lightly sautĆ© some chicken as well. Letās use thisā¦ā¦]
[That isā¦ā¦ fumu? It has a refreshing and citrusy aromaā¦ā¦ Hmm? I canāt 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 meā¦ā¦ Well, that aside, letās 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 Aliceās memo, so I donāt have to worry.
Fumu fumu, so these are what soba noodles look like while uncooked huhā¦ā¦
The cookingā¦ā¦ well, itās 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, letās have her take a bite.
[ā¦ā¦I see, it has a nice aroma, doesnāt it? However, this tastes rather bland.]
[Yeah, theyāre actually eaten with noodle soup. Right now, I just wanted you to sample it, so I asked you to eat some as is.]
[Since Anima seems fine with it, Iāll transfer them to the colanderā¦ā¦ Alright, itās done.]
Although it would be great if we have some tempura or something along with these, frying tempura might be a bit challenging for meā¦ā¦ While Iāve learned some cooking from Sieg-san, anything not in her repertoire is unknown to me, so properly frying tempura isnāt 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.
Serious-senpai: [Alright, sobaā¦ā¦ doesnāt seem like theyād be able to feed each other or any lovey-dovey tropes like that.]
? ? ?: [Couldnāt they just do that with the chicken meat?]
Serious-senpai: [ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦]
