Naruto hodgepodge

Time came to the first day of Konoha's 61st year, Naruto invited all his friends to eat the New Year's Eve dinner that he named from the memory fragments of the time traveler. Today is the first day of the new year and it happens to be a day off. Naruto has prepared countless ingredients two days ago. Naruto decided to make a New Year's Eve dinner today. In addition to Naruko, Shisui and Yakumo at home, there are also Sandai and Iruka, Ayako and Izumi from Hyakuhosai, Sakura, Toneri who just arrived on Earth last night, Rock Lee, Tenten, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Kiba, Shino, Sai, Hanabi, and two familiar jonins Hong and Might Guy came to participate, while those who are not familiar with him, such as Neji, Hinata and Sasuke, did not come.

The first meal started with the legendary golden fried rice. Naruto stood in front of the stove with a firm and gentle look in his eyes, thinking back to Master Abe's amazing golden fried rice. He knew that this was not only a dish, but also a love and respect for food, and the emotion he wanted to convey. He picked up the bowl, cracked a few fresh eggs, and stirred them quickly and vigorously with chopsticks until the egg liquid became even and slightly foamy. This was the first step to frying the golden color.

During the frying process, as the rice and egg liquid were fully combined, a warm and tempting aroma gradually rose from the pot, and the surface of the rice began to glow with a golden luster, shining like real gold. Naruto was excited, he knew that he was not far from success, this fried rice not only embodied his hard work, but also embodied his deep emotions.

Finally, he sprinkled the right amount of salt and pepper to season the food, instantly locking in the flavor and aroma of all the ingredients. Turn off the heat, serve on a plate, and a delicious golden egg fried rice is ready. Naruto looked at the fried rice in front of him, his eyes full of anticipation and satisfaction.

"Naruto, come and try our special golden egg fried rice!" Naruto poured some rice into a small bowl nearby and called out to Naruto, who was the first to come and serve the dish.

Naruto walked into the kitchen and saw the fried rice in front of her. Her eyes flashed with surprise and joy. "Wow, what is this? It looks like it really glows! Golden fried rice?" She asked excitedly, her tone full of expectations for Naruto.

"Yes, this is the golden egg fried rice I made." Naruto replied with a smile, his eyes full of pride and pampering. He handed the fried rice to Naruto and watched her eagerly take a bite.

Naruko savored the fried rice in her mouth, and a happy smile gradually bloomed on her face. "It's delicious, Naruto... No, brother, your cooking skills are amazing!" She said excitedly, her eyes shining with admiration for Naruto.

Hearing Naruko's praise, Naruto felt full of satisfaction, but Naruko actually refused to eat the meal, so Naruto had to say to her: "This is just one meal, there are many delicious dishes. I plan to make 108 dishes today, which is definitely enough for you. If I don't make much, you can take out a small bowl first and each person can eat a few bites."

When Naruko heard about 108 dishes, her eyes sparkled with stars. She brought the meal out. Everyone outside who was eating had tears on their faces. Most of them had never eaten anything cooked by Naruto, especially Choji, who felt like he had lived in vain.

Naruto began to prepare the second dish, a classic Sichuan cuisine - Mapo Tofu. This dish not only tests the chef's skills, but also shows the ultimate control of ingredients and heat.

Naruto stood in front of the stove, his eyes focused and determined. He first prepared minced meat, garlic, minced garlic and bright red chili peppers, which are the basis of the taste of Mapo Tofu. Then, he added sweet bean paste, which added a unique sweetness to the dish. However, the soul of Sichuan cuisine lies in the bean paste, and Naruto did not hesitate to add this spicy seasoning. In an instant, a strong spicy smell filled the kitchen, which is the first taste of Mapo Tofu.

Next, Naruto began to stir-fry the ingredients until their colors became bright and attractive. He knew that only by frying them to the right temperature could the deliciousness of the ingredients be stimulated. Then, he added the soup base and let the tofu slowly stew under the infiltration of wine and seasonings. Naruto cooked it slowly over low heat, allowing the tofu to fully absorb the flavor of the soup.

When the tofu was almost cooked, Naruto added soy sauce, which added a deep color to the dish. Then, he sprinkled the tender leaves of garlic, and instantly, a fresh fragrance came to his nose, which was the second taste of Mapo Tofu. The green of the garlic leaves, the red of the chili peppers, and the white of the tofu set off each other, forming a colorful picture, which was the third taste of Mapo Tofu.

Finally, Naruto mixed cornstarch with water and added it to the pot to thicken the soup. He added a proper amount of oil along the edge of the pot and quickly turned on the high heat to fry the pot. When the mapo tofu was done, the pot was so hot that it was about to burn, but it was this high temperature that could cook out the best taste and aroma.

Naruto looked at the mapo tofu in front of him, feeling satisfied. He finally sprinkled enough sansho pepper on it, adding a pungent spicy taste to the dish. This mapo tofu not only looks good, but also smells good. It is also a delicious dish made by Naruto with his heart and sweat. When he finished it, Shisui, who was the second person to serve the dishes, brought it out.

When Shisui carefully brought the steaming, attractive, fragrant Mapo Tofu to the table, a hint of curiosity flashed in Shikamaru's eyes, but his face remained calm. He gently picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of tofu, as if he was just tasting it out of politeness.

However, when the tofu touched the tip of his tongue, Shikamaru's expression began to change subtly. His pupils dilated slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted slightly, a subtle expression touched by the ultimate deliciousness. Then, he chewed quickly, and every bite was accompanied by a slight "crackling" sound, which was the wonderful movement of the tofu colliding with his teeth.

As the delicious and spicy taste of the mapo tofu gradually released in his mouth, Shikamaru's expression began to lose control. His brows were slightly wrinkled, but that was not because of pain, but because of the complex feelings brought by the ultimate deliciousness - spicy but not dry, spicy with fragrance, the tenderness of the tofu and the richness of the soup were perfectly integrated, making people unable to stop.

"This...this mapo tofu..." Shikamaru finally couldn't help but speak, with a tremor in his voice, a manifestation of being completely conquered by the deliciousness, "Naruto...it's amazing! The taste and texture are beyond imagination!"

As he spoke, Shikamaru's chopsticks hardly stopped moving, and the plate of Mapo Tofu was quickly eaten up by everyone and him. There were even beads of sweat on his forehead, but it was not because of the heat, but because the ultimate enjoyment brought by the food made him fully immersed in it, as if he was having a feast for taste and senses.

Finally, when Shikamaru put down his chopsticks and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, his eyes were full of admiration and gratitude for Naruto. At this moment, he knew that he had been completely conquered by this mapo tofu, and Naruto's cooking skills also refreshed his understanding of food.

Next, Naruto began to prepare the greens. First, Naruto carefully selected a basket of fresh greens. The leaves were still covered with morning dew, which looked particularly tempting. He knew that fresh ingredients were the basis of delicious dishes.

Then, he prepared two pots according to the steps he remembered. He added water to one pot and brought it to a boil, which was used to blanch the Chinese cabbage to remove dust and impurities on its surface while keeping the green color and crisp texture of the vegetable. The other pot was left empty on the stove, preheated until it was slightly smoking, ready for the next quick stir-frying step.

After the water boiled, Naruto carefully put the washed greens into the boiling water in batches, and quickly took them out in just a few seconds and put them into cold water to cool them down, which would not only keep the color of the vegetables bright, but also prevent them from becoming soft and rotten due to overcooking. He used his elementary water escape technique, and the magical water took away the earthy taste of the greens, leaving behind its freshness and sweetness.

Then, he moved the empty pot to a moderate heat and poured in an appropriate amount of cooking oil. The oil gradually heated up in the pot, emitting an attractive luster. Naruto knew that the temperature of the oil was crucial for stir-frying. It had to be hot enough to wrap the green vegetable the moment it was put in, forming a protective film to lock in moisture and nutrients, while preventing the dish from absorbing too much oil.

When the oil temperature reaches the ideal state, Naruto quickly takes the blanched Chinese cabbage out of the cold water, gently shakes off the excess water, and then pours it all into the hot oil pan. With a "sizzle" sound, the oil splashes everywhere, the Chinese cabbage jumps happily in the hot oil, and the surface is quickly covered with a layer of golden oil film, and the aroma instantly fills the whole kitchen.

Naruto held a spatula and skillfully stir-fried the Chinese cabbage in the pot, ensuring that each leaf was evenly heated. He added the right amount of salt and other seasonings based on his experience, which not only enhanced the flavor of the dish but also did not cover up the fragrance of the Chinese cabbage itself. After a while, a plate of green and fragrant stir-fried Chinese cabbage was ready.

"This is my stir-fried greens." Naruto looked at his work with satisfaction, a proud smile on his face, and began to call the next person to come in and serve the dish.

Tiantian looked at the newly served stir-fried Chinese cabbage with great anticipation, and her eyes were instantly attracted by the plate of green and fragrant stir-fried Chinese cabbage. Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

"Wow! Was this made by Naruto? This color, this fragrance, it's simply a work of art!" Tenten exclaimed, her tone full of disbelief and surprise.

She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it into her mouth. At that moment, her expression suddenly became extremely exaggerated, her eyes widened, as if she saw something incredible.

"Oh my god! This texture, this taste... it's just..." Tiantian's words became intermittent due to excitement, but she couldn't hide the happiness and satisfaction on her face. Every bite of green cabbage seemed to bloom in her mouth, the crisp texture and fresh fragrance intertwined together, making her feel as if she was in the fields in the early morning, breathing the fresh air and feeling the gift of nature.

"How did you do that? This stir-fried Chinese cabbage is more delicious and crisp than any other dish I've ever eaten!" Tiantian praised repeatedly. Her chopsticks hardly stopped, and the plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage was quickly finished by everyone and her.

After finishing the last bite of green onion, Tiantian leaned back in her chair contentedly and breathed a long sigh of relief. Her face was filled with unprecedented happiness and satisfaction, as if the whole world had become better.

Next, Naruto began to make shredded pork with persimmon and green pepper. He carefully selected the most tender pork tenderloin, juicy green peppers, crisp and delicious bamboo shoots, and persimmons that were about to mature to their full potential and hung heavily on the branches.

Naruto took a deep breath, as if he was about to step into a battlefield. He held a sharp kitchen knife in his hand, and his movements were smooth and precise. The green pepper seemed to be given life in his hands, and instantly turned into emerald green ribbons as thin as hair; the bamboo shoots were not to be outdone, and were cut into equally thin white strips, the two complementing each other beautifully. As for the tenderloin, under Naruto's skillful hands, it was turned into distinct and uniformly thick strips of meat, waiting for the next gorgeous transformation.

On the stove, the fire was blazing. Naruto gently opened the stove door, and the blue-purple flames jumped, as if warming up for this gourmet feast. He first preheated the pot to the right temperature, gently poured a thin layer of oil, and when the oil temperature gradually rose, the shredded meat slid gracefully into the pot, instantly making a wonderful "sizzling" sound, and the aroma of meat filled the air. Naruto shook his wrist lightly, and the shredded meat spread evenly in the pot, accepting the baptism of the flames, gradually turning from pink to gold, emitting an attractive luster.

At this time, Naruto did not rush to stir-fry the shredded pork, but turned to deal with the ripe persimmons. He gently squeezed the persimmons and turned them into a smooth sweet paste. This natural sweetness was about to become the finishing touch of this dish. Then, he skillfully blended the persimmon paste with soy sauce, cornstarch and other seasonings to prepare a bowl of attractive color and fragrant secret sauce. This sauce not only replaced the sweetness of traditional sugar, but also gave this dish unprecedented freshness and layers.
