Chapter 3877 People with strong curiosity

"But Ashizuka, you know nothing about cooking, right?" Eiko Ikeguchi held the treated wild vegetables in a basin and went to the stove to tease Tokusa Ashizuka, "Before you discuss your cooking opinions, should you learn how to cook the curry first?"

"Eiko, don't expose my shortcomings in front of someone I just met," Ashizuka Tokusa retorted with a smile, "Although I can't cook, I know how to taste delicious food, so I can be a food critic!"

Seeing that Eiko Ikeguchi was about to cook wild vegetables, Otsuya Subaru took the initiative to take over the task, "Leave the wild vegetables to me to cook!"

"Blanch the water first." Chi Feichi reminded him, picked up a seasoning bottle on the stove and poured some white powder in the seasoning bottle into the boiling water.

"I understand!" Subaru Okayama narrowed his eyes and smiled, poured the wild vegetables into the boiling water, took out his cell phone and looked at the time.

"After that being said, what does blanching mean?" Tokuno Ashizuka came to the side curiously.

"It means first putting the ingredients into the pot and cooking until half-cooked or fully cooked, and then taking out the ingredients and cooking again. This is a pre-treatment of the ingredients," Eiko Ichiguchi explained in a gentle tone. "Most vegetables and meat with fishy smell will taste better after blanching, especially vegetables such as wild vegetables. After blanching, wild vegetables will not turn yellow in subsequent cooking..."

After saying that, Eiko Ikeguchi turned to confirm with Okaya Subaru, "I'm right?"

"It's totally correct!" Subaru Okayama responded with a smile. Seeing that the time was almost over, he put away his cell phone and took out the wild vegetables that had passed through the water.

"What is the white powder added to the water just now?" Ashizuka Tokuno asked again, "Is it salt?"

"It doesn't look like salt," Eiko Ikeguchi looked at Ikeki and Okayama Subaru, with an uncertain tone, "It's more like flour..."

"It's sodium bicarbonate powder, also known as baking soda," Chi Feichi said, "is the kind of thing that is usually used as a leavening agent and acid-base regulator in the food industry."

"Add a little baking soda when blanching wild vegetables can help the wild vegetables maintain their emerald green color. At the same time, baking soda will react with the oxalic acid in the wild vegetables and reduce the oxalic acid content in the wild vegetables. This way, eating wild vegetables is more beneficial to the human body, and can also reduce the bitterness of the wild vegetables, which is helpful for enhancing the taste," said Okiya Subaru. Thinking of these cooking techniques, Chi Feichi told him, he turned to ask Chi Feichi, "I said it all, it shouldn't matter, right?"

"It's okay," Chi Feichi said, "This is not a high-level secret, anyone who is good at cooking knows it."

When Ikeguchi Eiko saw Tokusa Ashizuka looking at him thoughtfully, she quickly explained, "I do make some simple meals, but I am still far from being 'good at cooking'..."

Aside, a group of young detectives sat around the table, writing and drawing on the jam paper with pencils and crayons.
