Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation
Chapter 94 Taro Feast
"Sister, Suisui, are you guys done chatting? Are you going to buy some groceries?" Wei'er's voice came. My sister Peifu and I smiled at each other, then walked towards Wei'er together.
After arriving at Wei'er's side, I put my arm around her shoulders affectionately and said with a smile, "Come on, little greedy cat, can't you wait to eat something delicious? Tell your sister what you want to eat, and we will go buy it now. We guarantee that you can buy whatever you want and make our Miss Wei'er satisfied."
When she heard me teasing her like this, Wei'er gave me a coquettish look, then reached out and tickled the itchy spot on my waist.
"Haha..." I burst into laughter at her and quickly begged for mercy, "Okay, Wei'er, I was wrong, I was wrong! But as compensation, I will make you a special delicacy! This dish also exists in the interstellar world, but my way of making it is completely different from others. It will definitely open your eyes and surprise you!"
"Okay! I'll trust you this time. Let's go buy some vegetables." After saying that, Wei'er pulled me towards the nearest vegetable area.
We went to the vegetable section and picked out some fresh eggplants to make delicious grilled eggplant. We then bought some potatoes, lettuce, and other vegetables suitable for grilling. These vegetables would add more texture and flavor to the barbecue.
After finishing our vegetable shopping, we headed to the meat section. Since we were grilling, pork belly was a must. We also had beef, beef heart, chicken feet, chicken wings, and other meats to choose from. While Interstellar possesses most of Blue Planet's food, some plants have lost their seeds due to losses in cosmic turbulence, and the meat isn't as finely cut as it was back in 2024 on Blue Planet Z. Sadly, my favorite chicken feet tendon wasn't available there.
Finally, we visited the seafood section and bought some shrimp and shellfish. I have to say, the size of the seafood here at Interstellar delighted even a seafood lover like me. The shrimp here are several times larger than those from Blue Planet, and even the clams are as gigantic as the clams from Blue Planet. Just imagine how satisfying it would be to sample all this seafood!
Once all the vegetables and meats were picked and placed in our shopping bags, we felt a sense of satisfaction. Next, we moved on to the fruit section, where our eyes were immediately drawn to the plump, emerald green watermelons. We carefully selected a large, sweet watermelon, imagining how refreshing it would be on a hot summer day.
Seeing the three of us carrying shopping bags overflowing with ingredients filled with everything, I felt a sense of accomplishment. This trip to the market was truly rewarding. Not only did we buy the ingredients we needed, but we also experienced the vibrant atmosphere of the market. Now, we're ready to take these delicious treats home and start cooking a hearty dinner.
We slowly approached the market entrance, our steps brisk and cheerful. Suddenly, I noticed a familiar figure not far ahead—the woman who had sold me taro flowers a few days earlier. Her basket was filled with fresh taro flowers, and they looked incredibly tempting. Remembering the delicious treat I'd had before, I couldn't resist buying some again. So, we approached her stall, greeted her warmly, and inquired about the price. After some haggling, we managed to secure a bag of fresh taro flowers at a reasonable price.
We exited the market feeling incredibly fulfilled. The sun shone down on us, warm and inviting. Even with the heavy shopping bags in our hands, we felt a sense of relief and joy. This day's market trip had allowed us to experience life's little joys and filled us with anticipation for the delicious food we'd enjoy in the future.
Arriving at the door, I saw Wei'er tapping a few times on her laptop, and then we disembarked from the hovercraft. Then, I noticed a robot appear at the door. It said in a cute, baby-sounding voice, "Dear master, welcome home. I'm your robot Hot Pot, and I'm here to serve you. Please come in, master and your friends. Hot Pot will bring you these vegetables on the ground." Hearing this voice, I couldn't help but exclaim, "This robot speaks so sweetly!" At the same time, I thought, how hard it is to tell the real robots of this interstellar age from fake ones.
"Sui Sui, let's go, let Hotpot take these dishes in! We bought too much, my hands are almost broken." Wei'er said, shaking her hands repeatedly, trying to relieve the pain. I looked at her cute face and couldn't help laughing. I said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Hotpot." After that, I opened the door and walked into my house with Wei'er and Sister Pei'er.
"Weier, Sister Peier, it's only lunch time now. What do you want to eat? The delicious meal I prepared is for dinner in the afternoon, so now we have to prepare lunch." I asked them enthusiastically, hoping to satisfy their taste needs.
"Sui Sui, you're tired too. Just grab something to eat!" Pei'er replied gently. Hearing her words, I felt a warm warmth in my heart, knowing she cared about my feelings. But as the host, I still wanted to prepare a hearty lunch for them to show my sincerity and hospitality.
"Okay, then I'll just do it casually. You can take a break first, or go home to change clothes or something." Hearing that I could take a break, Pei'er immediately said, "No need! Let's simulate it together, and then we can eat and rest. We went to buy groceries together, and you are tired if we are tired, and we can't let you do it alone again." Hearing Pei'er say this, I knew that they would not leave, nor would they take a break, so let's do it together, because there is strength in numbers. So I smiled and replied, "Okay, then let's do it together."
After I washed and cooked the rice, I began to teach them how to prepare the taro flowers. First, we need to remove the stamens from the taro flowers. This step is crucial, as any remaining stamens can cause a tingling sensation in the mouth. Therefore, we must be very careful when removing the stamens, ensuring that the entire center is completely removed, without missing any. Next, we use a knife to partially shave off the base of the taro flowers and break them into 4-5 cm pieces. After completing these steps, we need to rinse the taro flowers carefully several times with clean water to remove any surface impurities. Next, we pour a suitable amount of oil into the wok and wait until the oil is hot enough to bubble. Then, add the dried chili peppers. Once the chili peppers are fragrant, add the cleaned taro flowers and stir-fry quickly for 2-3 minutes to allow the taro flowers to fully absorb the chili pepper's aroma. Then, we add salt and MSG to taste and continue to stir-fry evenly. Finally, place the fried taro flowers on a plate and steam them in a steamer for 15 minutes. This delicious taro flower is ready.
"Let's have a taro feast today!" I said excitedly. When the taro flowers were ready, I decided to cook a delicious taro chicken for Wei'er and the others.
First, light the stove, heat a pot, and pour plenty of cooking oil. As the oil heats up, gently swirl the pot to ensure even distribution. Next, reduce the heat to low and carefully add the hot pot base, stirring gently until it melts and releases an alluring aroma. Next, add the dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger slices, garlic slices, and scallions, continuing to stir-fry over low heat until the aroma permeates the kitchen.
Next, pour the pre-prepared chicken into the wok, quickly switch to high heat, and stir-fry vigorously. At the same time, skillfully pour in a proper amount of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and add a unique flavor.
As the chicken continues to stir-fry, it will gradually change color, become slightly dry, and the fat will begin to seep out. At this point, adjust the heat again to low and continue stir-frying carefully until the chicken is almost cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked through, the pot is immediately filled with boiling water, just enough to cover the chicken. Next, light and dark soy sauces are skillfully added to enhance the color and flavor. Salt and sugar are added to suit individual tastes, ensuring the dish is perfectly suited to the diners' preferences.
When the water comes to a boil, quickly skim off any foam. Then, reduce the heat to a low simmer and simmer for about 15 minutes. This will allow the chicken to fully absorb the seasonings and become more tender and juicy. Finally, add the drained taro cubes to the pot and simmer along with the chicken.
Gently cover the pot and keep the heat low. Patiently wait about twenty minutes for the taro to fully cook and the chicken to absorb its flavor. Throughout this process, I constantly monitor the changes in the pot, ensuring every detail is perfectly cooked. Finally, a taro chicken dish with stunning color, aroma, and flavor is presented, making it mouth-watering. The taro is soft and glutinous, and the chicken is cooked through. Finally, season and simmer until the taro is soft and the broth is thick, then increase the heat to reduce the sauce. Since the hot pot base already has salt, there's no need to add any other seasonings.
Remove from the pan and place on a plate, letting the rich broth slowly absorb into the chicken. At this point, sprinkle some cilantro and green and red bell peppers on top to add fragrance and make the dish look more appealing. After careful cooking, the delicious taro chicken is finally ready!
Now, all you need is a bowl of refreshing vegetable soup to enjoy a hearty dinner!
