Chapter 23 (1/2)

The first thing Jo Minjoon grabbed was the cooking oil He poured a lot of it in the pot and turned on the fire Bringing up the heat of the oil wasn’t so that was done in an instant You had to prepare it beforehand, and that was also true for water Jo Minjoon put another pot next to the oiled one, put soas burners on the countertop, and Jo Minjoon was responsible for two of these The other tere for Chloe And for Marco didn’t need a burner

While heating the water and oil, Jo Minjoon prepared the soft tofu quickly He wouldn’t be late if he prepared the soy sauce and the vegetables later If it was an ingredient that needed to be fermented, then that was another story But for soft tofu, it was more important for it to have a neat flavor

The size of the tofu wasn’t big In the first place, it wasn’t good to have a big aood for the overall course of the menu

People have a tendency to see the restaurant’s dish amount and are reluctant to spend money on it Jo Minjoon could understand them Because, a restaurant’s price was as much as five times the normal price But the amount of food in the plate was the size of a fist, no, the size of a thumb, so it wasn’t rare for people to coredients?’ He thought

But the restaurants didn’t put a sret That regret was the work of the flavor And if you put a big a the same impression as the first time was difficult Dishes with small amounts of food looked to impress the customers

‘I’ll make it a bite size’

The knife sliced the tofu softly The flavor and the regret came only with the size of a bite There were even restaurants that served the steak already chopped in the size of a bite

He put the sliced tofus on top of the cotton cloth For the soon to fry tofu to still have reat h, it had a high possibility to break It was a must to remove the moisture of the tofu

At the same time, it was a quite a pain of a job If you put it over a dry cloth, the surface of the tofu would stick to it And if you did it with a wet cloth, the moisture didn’t absorb well He had to use a not too dry nor a wet cloth like he was doing right now That was the best method for the soft tofu not to turn bad and rerabbed the kitchen towel and covered the soft tofu with it And after taking a breath, looked at his surroundings Marco was h for the biscuit for quite a while, and Chloe was putting the sliced scallops in the steamer

He wanted to look at Kaya’s table, but he purposely endured It wasn’t the ti Jo Minjoon, i the truth, soft fried tofu was froedashi+ tofu(揚げ出し豆腐) What Jo Minjoon was edashi+ tofu Actually, saying that it was i the agedashi+ tofu as the base and slightly changed the sauce

Jo Minjoon turned off the boiling water and put the katsuobushi+ So far, there was nothing different with the norravy in the sieve and putting a spoon of soy was the sae was Lime juice It wasn’t too much The amount was so low as to make one wonder if it would fill a spoon But that liedashi+ tofu

And after that, it was entirely facing victory Jo Minjoon looked at the soft tofu sharply The cotton cloth and the kitchen toere already wet It also ot out Jo Minjoon, after pouring starch, slowly put down the soft tofu on top It was quite a sensitive situation If he put a little bit of strength, the tofu would break entirely

Fortunately, he succeeded putting it on top of the starch, but it was too early to feel relieved Jo Minjoon even held his breath and rolled a soft tofu the size of a dice on the starch If it was left even a little longer the starch’s stickiness and the moisture left on the tofu could break it

Was it luck? Or was it his delicate touch? The soft tofu didn’t break and could safely wear the starch coat Jo Minjoon caught his breath and looked at the boiling oil The soft tofus that were being fried in the oil see when looking at a newborn

When it got a white colour, Jo Minjoon, quickly took out the soft tofu out of the oil A voice could be heard next to hiht?”

“Don’t worry It’s perfect”

Jo Minjoon replied si at the white frythe oil, Jo Minjoon prepared the vegetables For now, it was the radish He started to grate it with the grater and put it in the soy sauce, and then sliced the green onions That was the end

Jo Minjoon silently observed at Marco and Chloe He wanted to help them, but couldn’t because of the rules Jo Minjoon endured wanting to help theht about it, it has been a while since he observed so at the restaurant as the youngest, he only cut ingredients in a corner, he couldn’t see so the pan that h in the oven, and noas preparing the yogurt ice crea all of the baking processes

That was the reason Jo Minjoon started to observe Chloe She was shaking the scallions, vegetables and a red sauce in the wok At times, flames arose On the countertop, there were a total of nine dishes being cooked, but Chloe’s pan fried scallions aro

‘Perhaps it would be able to get 8 points’

It wasn’t iht At least, it’s appearance and the aroma seemed almost perfect

And after so Jo Minjoon looked with a face that had nothing more to admire at Chloe’s dish
