Tensei Reijou wa Shomin no Aji ni Uete Iru

What should I make with the Orc meat?
After breakfast, Kurogane and Mashiro went out for a walk on the premises, so I was alone in my room, relaxing and enjoying my tea while thinking about the lunch menu.
Well, the Orc meat had already been cut, so I decided to make the most of it… Well, maybe I will try teriyaki.
When it comes to teriyaki, I tend to choose chicken, but pork is also delicious. Of course, fish is also good.
Yeah, we made a light breakfast, so I want something a little more substantial for lunch.
And even though teriyaki is teriyaki, if I change it up a bit, Head Chef will be pleased, even if it’s not a completely new dish.
Alright, now that’s decided, let’s hurry up and do it right.
I told Miria that I was going to the kitchen and left the room.

When I entered the kitchen, the Head Chef was waiting for me.
What, how long has he been there… I hope he wasn’t waiting for me all this time!?

“Cristea-sama, I was waiting for you! This is the Orc meat!”

The Head Chef ran to the refrigerated room in a flash, took out the pre-cut Orc meat, and placed it on the cooking table with a thud

“T, thanks…”
“Do you plan on doing shougayaki as planned? Or…”
I’d like something new… he was looking at me with such eyes.
I knew he would ask!

“… I’m thinking of doing teriyaki today.”
“Teriyaki… with pork meat?”

Ah~ I taught him teriyaki with poultry before, so he has a fixed image that teriyaki works only with poultry, I guess.

“Teriyaki does not work only with poultry. The sweet and spicy teriyaki sauce can be used in many ways. It goes well with hamburgers and fish, as well as Orc meat.”

Ah, right. Teriyaki hamburgers are also great. I want to eat it as a set with a potato!
Let’s make it in the dormitory next time.

“Ohh… so it goes well with fish, too! That sauce sure could go almost on anything…”

The Head Chef began to take notes, but I left him alone and started cooking.
I took out my usual apron from the inventory and put it on. Then I washed my hands and used Clear magic all over my body just to be safe.

“Well then, let’s do it.”

At that moment, I captured Shin, who was passing by the cooking area, and appointed him as my assistant.
He mumbled something about how he was still in the middle of his break, but… fuhaha, he was just a member of this group. Give up.
Having said that, cooking this is easy.

What should I make with the Orc meat?
“N~… since I’m already at it, let’s do terimayo donburi too.”
“”Terimayodon?””
“Teriyaki sauce with mayonnaise. It’s very rich and tasty.”
“”Rich…””

I chuckled as the two gulped down, and started making the sauce.
I took out the Yahatul sake, mirin, soy sauce, and the leftover mayonnaise that I had stored in my inventory.
The sauce was ready when I mixed in the mayonnaise in a 2:1 ratio.
After asking Shin to shred the cabbage, I started working on the meat.
I cut the Orc meat into smaller pieces so that it is easier to eat with a spoon. Then, lightly seasoned it with salt and pepper, dusted it with potato starch, and placed the meat in a hot frying pan with oil and fried it over medium heat.
When the color of the Orc meat changed and it was properly cooked, i stir-fried it while tossing in the sauce, and then it was ready to eat after lightly draining off the liquid.
Uhaa… that smells good.

“Serve rice, with cabbage on top of that, then the teriyaki Orc meat… and.”

Add a dash of extra sauce, and you’ve got a teriyaki mayo pork… Orc donburi!
Gulp… I heard two loud gulps, so I handed them both small bowls for tasting, and deciding to have a little myself.
Oh yes, I have to save some for Kurogane and Mashiro.
I stored the teriyaki mayo Orc donburi for three in my inventory…

“Itadakimasu!”
“”I… itadakimasu!!!””

I grabbed a well-balanced chuck of meat, cabbage and rice with chopsticks and brought it to my mouth.
The richly flavored Orc meat mixed with the crispy cabbage, and the rice that brings it all together… wow, it’s delicious.
If you don’t like the crunchy texture of cabbage, you can steam it to soften it.
You can also combine other vegetables.
I think the more vegetables you have, the better it goes with the sweet and spicy sauce.

“This is… strongly flavored, but the cabbage and the rice do a good job of neutralizing… or perhaps even enhancing… the rice… the cabbage accentuates the monotonous texture and refreshes the palate, after a dose of the heavy sauce…”

Oou, Head Chef exploded with his food report.

“Well, now you know how to make it, don’t you? Can I ask you to do the rest?”

The Head Chef, who was slightly taken aback by his intoxicated state, seemed to come to his senses, wiped his mouth quickly, and straightened his posture.

“Yes, of course! Thank you very much for your guidance!”

Shin who had his head held by the Head Chef to forcefully bow to me, said, “No, I didn’t get any guidance!” And so, I quickly left the kitchen, with the delicious smell of the teriyaki wafting from behind me.
Haah… it might be easier to cook without holding back in the special dormitory…
