68 – Food fit for an Eastern dragon

Maratang (痲辣燙).

Chinese cuisine derived from Sichuan, China.

A tang dish made by dipping the meat in a spicy broth.

If I had to compare it, it would be similar to shabu-shabu.

Malatang was a food that sold quite well in Korea until recently. Oh, of course, until I got possessed.

If it was spicy, it was perfect for the taste of Koreans who are crazy about it, and it was thanks to the localization of the unique spicy soup.

Malatang, a Chinese dish that was once explosively popular, especially among young women.

The unique spicy and spicy taste was stimulating and addictive, so there was no choice but to be in high demand. Of course, as it is a very stimulating food, likes and dislikes were often divided.

‘Maybe not as much as mint chocolate… … .’

Of course, I used to order it often.

I was confident in my spicy taste,

Personally, it was good for my taste.

The savory soup of Maratang is also a soup,

The real charm point was different.

It means that you can add various toppings according to your taste.

There was no particular set of ingredients to go into this red-hot soup. Because of that, it was also a lot of fun to be able to freely combine sarira and ingredients.

Anyway, today’s Mara Budae Jjigae with sausage and ham.

‘This might be much spicier than the original Maratang… … ?’

Ma (痲) is a taste that numbs you with a thrill.

La (辣) literally means spicy taste.

Tang (燙), as you know, refers to a hot soup dish.

Why do you know me so well?

As it was once a favorite food,

At the time, I was looking for a recipe for malatang.

There was no happiness as trivial as making and eating this and that while living alone, so I often made and ate various foods myself.

That’s why I was able to create plausible dishes by applying this and that based on my experience at this time. Yesterday’s Budae Jjigae was made purely based on experience.

Of course, it was my first time making mara sauce like today.

As it is a Chinese dish, it required rare ingredients such as tofu, cloves, octagonal, sable, and Japanese pepper.

They are all sold in supermarkets these days.

It was difficult to purchase only a small amount separately.

I’m only going to make it once anyway.

What did he do to stock up on so much material?

So, in the end, I have been satisfied with making and eating using commercially available sauces or meal kits, but I never thought I would have the opportunity to make it myself… … .

It’s fun because it’s a new challenge in many ways.

As the saying goes, if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have fun making it?

ㅡGuys… ! Roaring!!

If the pot is moderately heated, the red pepper oil will catch fire. The fire show of Chinese chefs soars over the pot.

The blazing fire reminds me of a fire dragon. An oriental long-tailed dragon.

“B, Breeder… ? Is this food you can eat? I feel like I’m going to get sick the moment I eat… !”

“Cool-! I know. At least it doesn’t look like human food.”

Ram Rat, who had been watching silently from the side, spits out a sound mixed with concern.

“But it’s okay to make something like this—”

“It’s a dragon, so it’ll be fine.”

“Crazy… ?!”

“Okay, give me some ground plants.”

“Ah, okay… !”

If it’s this hot, you should start slowly.

It’s about stir-frying from the broth in earnest.

Still, it’s the first time wokjil, so let’s do it step by step.

I tend to turn pancakes and fried eggs well, but it was harder than I thought because it was my first time moving such a large pot continuously.

Besides, oil or broth might splatter on your arms, so there was nothing wrong with being careful.

ㅡChideok, chin… !

With a long ladle, I carefully transferred the crushed flowers that were more red than Dubanjang.

The flower itself is spicy, but it was to stir-fry it like frying it in chili oil. Like frying Chunjang in oil.

ㅡHurt… ! Chow-!

ㅡ lively… !

“yes? What firepower is this… … ?”

I don’t know what kind of plant the flower is made of, but an intense column of fire soars as if a volatile substance was dropped.

“Crazy… ! It is the first time I have seen red that is darker than blood in my life… ! Nose, it seems that the nose is already paralyzed!”

At this, Ramjwi is surprised and makes a fuss.

Oh, of course, paralyzed sense of smell is no fuss. Even I, who wrapped my face in a cloth, can’t smell anything.

‘Did this give you too much power? no, no doubt If you’re going to say it’s this spicy, why would you deliver flowers to me?’

The reason why Raylin delivered the flowers was not directly heard, but it was obvious even without looking at it. It must be because I wanted a more spicy and stimulating taste than the budae stew I made yesterday.

However, what I am making right now is so stimulating that it even looks dangerous. The sight of hellfire boiling in a pot.

‘for a moment? Come to think of it, the mint chocolate almost killed the dragon, right? Are you going to risk it… … ?’

I keep coming and going.

It was such a murderous visual.

As soon as you eat it, your stomach is red as if it will melt.

—-They… !

I was engulfed in worry for a while and stopped, but

It’s too late to give up now.

what has already been done. I had to see the end.

In the end, I fried the plants in oil with the belief that a dragon would be able to withstand this much.

I do not know. let’s make it first

The fire was already burning hot.

And, in fact, I didn’t have to worry too much.

Even the locals wouldn’t eat the original Maratang broth.

Originally, malatang is a food eaten by dipping meat or mushrooms in a spicy broth like shabu-shabu. It’s just that the soup has been refined after entering Korea, just like our country’s soup culture.

In other words, the original Maratang soup was not made for drinking. It’s easy to see that it’s just a sauce that gives a hot taste to the ingredients.

Anyway, Raylin, who is from the east, will avoid the soup without telling me.

“Ram rat? Would you like some sauce?”

“Here it is… !”

“thank you.”

I dropped the previously prepared sauce just as the ground flowers were roasted in red pepper oil and bubbled up like magma in the nether world.

The sauce was a thin sauce mixed with soy sauce, minced garlic, sugar, pepper, and paprika powder. This seasoning will play a role in neutralizing the scent of flowers that are just as hot.

Just because it’s spicy doesn’t mean it’s complete.

The addition of seasoning is just as important.

Even if it’s spicy, it has to be deliciously spicy for it to become addictive.

Of course, the spiciness of the flowers is too strong, and I am not the only one who is worried that the savory taste of the sauce will be covered.

ㅡGuys… !

I continued to wok, stirring with a ladle to keep from burning.

Now that the seasoning goes in, the color becomes edible.

The color is still strong though.

The visual of boiling black and red lava.

It seems that neutralization is also necessary at this time.

It is the work of making proper broth.

“Ram rat? Do you have leftover broth for today?”

“Waiting squirrel… !”

A guy who takes care of things without having to be told. Ram-jwi brings a kettle full of chicken stock with quick movements.

ㅡTattadak! rumbling… !

I adjusted the heat by pouring pure white broth like rice water.

“Now it has become a bit like human food.”

“Really… ! I still can’t eat!”

After finally entering the broth, the color becomes much lighter.

Although it was still dark red,

It looks like spicy jjamppong soup.

It was red enough to look appetizing.

Now, when it boils once more, add the ingredients and finish.

“Cool… ! Etch-!”

When I came to my senses after it was almost finished, tears and mucus flowed out and sobbed. The sense of smell and taste is gradually returning.

Before that, I didn’t even know that tears and runny nose were flowing.

‘I want to put the denominator and Chinese vermicelli here… … .’

Like Rayleen, I too have nostalgia.

Although it is a traditional food of other countries,

I suddenly miss the Korean-style malatang soup that has been localized.

Ha, let’s wait. Your tongue might melt if you tasted it.

The bright red soup makes your mouth water.

But I had to think about my body and endure it.

It seemed obvious that he couldn’t handle it.

If you look at the star rating and description that comes to mind later, you can roughly guess what it tastes like. I don’t think you need to see the liver yourself.

If I looked at the liver for nothing, it seems like all my soy sauce would melt.

ㅡ bubbling bubbling… !

The soup boils in the blink of an eye as if you were distracted by the intense bright red color.

Now, finally, the long-awaited finish.

ㅡSueug, charreureuk… !

The prepared ingredients were slowly dropped into the boiling broth.

Assorted sausages and hams, ground meat.

Boiled beans and cabbage.

Rotini-shaped pasta instead of rice cakes.

Various vegetables and leaves of flowers suitable for shabu-shabu.

ㅡ Tak!

After boiling the soup once more, I immediately turned off the heat.

If you wait until the vegetables die like this, it’s done.

ㅡTitling!

[Fire attribute Maratang – ★★★☆: Food made with flowers from the eastern part of the continent as a base. People who do not have resistance to the fire attribute may lose their sense of taste if they recklessly put their mouth on it. But the best food for those who know how to enjoy this taste!]

[The grade increases by ☆ with the use of ‘Hwacho’, a special product of the eastern part of the continent.]

[You have achieved 3 or more stars for the first time!]

[The mastery of ‘Gourmet Feeding’ has increased significantly!]

Oh wow, I finally crossed the 3 star rating.

By the way, I did well not to taste it.

At least I would have been blinded by the taste.

But why the hell do dragons want to eat something so stimulating? Same goes for mint chocolate.

“Howa… ? This, this smell is—?!”

It seems that Ike and Reirin are no good at being nobles.

As soon as the marathon was completed, Raylin’s excited voice was heard from a distance with good timing.

“miss? Are you here?”

I’m already looking forward to it.

How satisfied will the last guest of the day be?
