Ch 103 -- 100% Wyvern at Hamburger
Since we were leaving this city the next day I wanted to prepare a lot of assorted dishes for the trip. I borrowed the inn’s courtyard again to carry out all the cooking I’d need to do. What to cook though?
Well, I knew deep-fried food was a sure thing for my two companions (and too of course) so kaarage it was. I started with Red Serpent, Black Serpent, Rockbird and Giant Dodo each with salt and soy sauce marinades. Pork cutlets and the ever-popular cheese IN chicken cutlets were next up. I dug out the remaining ground-up at from my Item Box and made minceat cutlets before deep-frying them too. I experinted by making so minceat cutlets with cheese IN since Sui liked cheese. What next? Hamburger? But I had just used up all the ground at... ah well, I can make more. I fed Orc General at and Bloody Horn Bull at into the mincer and started turning the handle round and round. Eventually my arm hurt but I had a large amount of minced at ready to use.
"Is this enough?" I shrugged. "Fu ~ I’m tired. It’ll do for now." What next? Rembering the taste of the Wyvern at from yesterday I thought that cooking it shabu-shabu or sukiyaki hotpot style, thinly-sliced and boiled quickly in soup then dunked in sauce might work. The thick steaks of seared Wyvern at had been delicious, cooking them that way should be good too. I sliced a lot of Wyvern at ready to cook shabu-shabu later, piling it up on plates, covering it with clingfilm and storing it back in my Item Box. I reckoned that hotpot would be a welco change along the way as we travelled.
Slicing the Wyvern at this way I ended up with a lot of cut-offs. Staring at them I had an inspiration -- I’d make so 100% Wyvern at hamburgers. I had seen a teevee program once where the presenters turned trims and scraps of Wagyu beef left over from preparation of other gourt dishes into 100% Wagyu hamburger so doing it with the leftover Wyvern at should work the sa way. As I rembered it the teevee show presenters put nutg in their recipe so I’d follow their example. I don’t usually put nutg in hamburgers, it’s not a good idea to just throw everything you might think of into a recipe after all but in this case it was worth a try since I was using such high-quality at. The presenters had said it improves the flavour after all. I didn’t have any nutg to hand since I don’t normally use it in cooking so I bought so on Net Super.
First I chopped up so onions finely, fried them until they were well-browned and then set them aside to cool. I didn’t run the Wyvern at through the mincer, instead I chopped it up with a sharp knife. If I minced it too finely the fatty marbling in the at would make it fall apart when it was fried.
I’m a true believer of the ’onions in hamburger’ faction so I stirred lots of browned onions into the roughly-chopped Wyvern at. The chopped at might seem a little bit lumpy to so hamburger enthusiasts but I reckoned it would add to the taste since you’d be exposed to the texture of the at a little. I added breadcrumbs and egg for a binder and so nutg, salt and pepper to finish and stirred the mixture thoroughly before rolling it into balls and pressing them flat to make patties.
I cooked so of the patties, about a minute at dium heat and then at low heat for about 4 minutes then flipped them and repeated that cooking on the other side. I added so sake and ketchup to the sauce as usual before covering the pan to steam the at but this ti I included so butter too. I figured it would complent the tenderness of the Wyvern at.
"Right then, where have Fer and Sui got to..." I wondered, looking up from the stove as the hamburgers finished cooking.
"Ahem." "Aruji-". They were both waiting right behind . What a surprise. Not.
"Here you are." I dished out so 100% Wyvern at hamburgers which they imdiately started to eat.
"Umu."
"Wow - it looks delicious-"
They both began to eat 100% Wyvern at hamburger. Watching them I couldn’t stop myself from eating so too since I knew from bitter experience there’d be little left for if this was a success. mories of three agre pieces of kaarage between two slices of bread floated through my mind as I took my first bite of the hamburger.
Wow, the juicy hamburger overflowed with gravy. The roughly-chopped texture of the at felt good in the mouth. It’s a pain to chop up at with a knife rather than mince it but it definitely added to the enjoyable flavour of the hamburger.
"Mmmm, is this Wyvern at?" Fer inquired.
"Oh, that’s right, you can taste the delicious Wyvern at, we can eat it like this too?" Sui chid in.
"Sure, it’s delicious isn’t it? Because the at’s chopped up you can feel the firm taste."
"Yeah yeah, this is delicious~. Sui wants more."
" too." said Mister Redundant.
I started cooking more 100% Wyvern at hamburgers for Fer and Sui (and myself). In the end all the surplus Wyvern at cutoffs and trims that I had planned to store in my Item Box for the forthcoming trip had been turned into 100% Wyvern at hamburgers and stored in the bellies of Fer and Sui (and too, of course).
I shrugged, wiping the last of the gravy off my lips. They both ate their fill and the Wyvern at scraps didn’t go to waste, a double bonus.
