Shinnshiow laughed at Yinqyueh's words. Indeed, at times like that, they had to be frugal. For other things, they had been frugal, but it seemed a bit difficult in terms of food. The five residents here were people who really liked the food. So they didn't feel sorry at all if they had to spend more money to get the food they wanted.
"Don't worry. We've calculated everything. We get many of the food ingredients we have here at a relatively low price. You won't believe me when I say that Yihge and Renge are superb at finding places selling excellent quality groceries at a hefty discount. They know which markets are offering discounts this week for the groceries we need."
After that, they began to process the food ingredients. Yesterday afternoon, Shinnshiow had already cooked quite a bit of rice, so they still had an abundant supply of rice.
Shinnshiow took out the rice he had stored in the refrigerator last night. The rice was no longer soggy. It's dry and not too sticky.
"There's still a lot of leftover rice from yesterday afternoon, so we're not short on rice," said Shinnshiow.
"To make delicious fried rice. After the rice is cooked, how many hours do we have to wait before we can start frying?" Yinqyueh asked.
"In my opinion, at least we have to wait twelve hours. If it is still soggy and sticky, the fried rice will certainly not taste good. Because yesterday the leftover rice at lunch was still abundant, so in the afternoon, before I left, I had time to divide the rice into two parts. I immediately warmed it up because we were going to make the rice for dinner. I put some of the rice in the refrigerator because I was already planning to fry it this morning. It's just that yesterday I didn't think about what meat and additional ingredients I will mix into the fried rice."
"So we can't use freshly cooked rice?"
"If we really have to use freshly cooked rice, because there is no leftover rice, it's still okay. Even though the results aren't that great. But we still have to cool the rice first, so it doesn't stick."
Shinnshiow took the lamb chops out of the freezer.
"Did you cut the meat neatly?" Yinqyueh asked when she saw the meat that had been cut into cubes, even though it was frozen.
"Yes, I have prepared this a few days ago. So I have seasoned it at once. So we just have to mix it with other dishes."
"This delay method, will the result be good?"
"It's true that the results are not as delicious as the normal method. But it's much more practical. It's perfect for situations where we don't have much time."
Yinqyueh nodded. The girl seemed very enthusiastic to hear Shinnshiow's explanation.
Shinnshiow put the pieces of meat in the microwave. "Because time is limited, I use the microwave to thaw this frozen meat. If we use water, it can take a long time to finish."
"How about the taste? Is it really different?" Yinqyueh seemed to be getting more and more curious. Shinnshiow could clearly see that while asking, the girl was paying close attention to everything Shinnshiow was doing.
"When it comes to lamb like this, there's actually not that much difference in taste quality. It's just that later we shouldn't cook it too long because the heat from the microwave has already made the meat a bit cooked."
"In that case, if we defrost the meat a little longer in the microwave, then the meat will become more cooked?"
Shinnshiow shook his head. "There's a special trick to thawing meat in the microwave. You shouldn't put the meat in the microwave for too long. The meat will become tough."
"Wow! This is very interesting." Yinqyueh's face brightened.
Shinnshiow looked at the spices Yinqyueh was frying. "This looks quite ripe and dry. Now lower the heat first."
Yinqyueh turned down the flame that came out of the stove. The girl was quite agile. Shinnshiow watched while occasionally glancing at the microwave. After the flame was completely small, Shinnshiow poured the rice into the pan. He then took control of the wok from Yinqyueh's hands.
"Now, you look at that microwave. Sixty seconds from now, please take the meat out." Shinnshiow gave a hint to Yinqyueh.
Shinnshiow laughed at Yinqyueh's words. Indeed, at times like that, they had to be frugal. For other things, they had been frugal, but it seemed a bit difficult in terms of food.
