Chapter 82 Mayonnaise and tartar sauce

The next day, as it was our day off, Lania and I set out for a pair exploration to the lookout mountain.

“It’s unusual for the two of us to go on an adventure together.”

“Yeah, it is.”

With Lania in higher spirits than usual, we climbed the mountain.

“Kyupikyupi!”

It was a one-horned rabbit.

“Take this!”

I swung my sword towards it. In the past, they would always escape with just one swing, but this time I successfully hit it, skillfully capturing the little rabbit.

Afterwards, we patrolled the area and returned home with a total of five one-horned rabbits.

Upon returning home, I immediately began dismantling the items. Ideally, it would be best to do it on the spot or right away, but my item box is versatile.

As I dismantled the items, Minya watched with wide eyes. They were broken down into magic stones, bones, meat, and skin. I carefully stored the organs in the item box.

Now, finally, the time has come. I want to make mayonnaise.

I could have done it sooner, but I found it troublesome because I didn’t have a whisk. Recently, while browsing the morning market, I stumbled upon a whisk. They might be commonly sold in hardware stores or something, but I’m not familiar with those shops.

At first, I thought about making mayonnaise using only egg yolks, but it seemed wasteful to discard the egg whites, so I decided to use the whole egg. I added eggs, salt, and the vinegar I bought the other day.

Salt is something I frequently use, and the southeastern part of this country faces the sea, where salt production in salt fields is thriving. As for the final step of heating, it doesn’t incur significant costs since we use a magic stove. In addition, in the middle of the Belidarital Mountain Range on the northern side, we can extract rock salt.

The Belidarital Mountain Range is located west of the Helhorn Mountain and is quite close to our home, so salt is inexpensive.

“Alright, let’s mix this.”

I added some olive oil and continued to mix.

Mix patiently until it turns pale.

“There we go, it’s done!”

“Oh, what is this?”

“It looks different.”

“I have no idea.”

That’s right.

“This is called ‘mayonnaise’.”

“Mayonnaise!”

There you have it. Making mayonnaise is one of the top ten classic things I wanted to try once I gained knowledge from my reincarnation.

There seems to be a concern about the bacteria in the eggs, but in this world, it hasn’t been a significant issue, so it should be fine. The appraisal appraiser has also confirmed that these eggs are of good quality.

Although they are not chicken eggs but rather Eggbirds, they are similar enough.

I casually picked some spinach, dandelion greens, and sunny lettuce, tore them up, and placed them on a plate.

“Here you go. Instead of salt, I’ll drizzle some mayonnaise on the salad.”

“Oh, interesting!”

“Mew.”

“Come on, give it a try.”

“Thank you for the meal.”

“Mew.”

“It’s delicious.”

“It tastes great.”

“It’s yummy, meow.”

How about that? Surprised?

Finally, I’ve added mayonnaise to our dishes.

I should have done it sooner.

Now, let’s talk about the rabbits we hunted.

“Today’s dinner is rabbit karaage.”

“Wow!”

“Lania is also going to eat it today.”

Lately, Lania has been eating less frequently. I heard that she’s been practicing various vegetable dishes and other creative recipes at home.

“Let’s challenge ourselves with tartar sauce today.”

“Tartar sauce?”

“Yes, tartar sauce.”

Apparently, there is a dish among the Tartar tribe from the East that involves crushing meat. I think it’s called raw meat tartare steak. Then, they crushed eggs in a similar way and mixed it with mayonnaise, resulting in tartar sauce, probably.

First, we boil the Eggbird’s eggs and cut them into approximately 1-centimeter cubes, crushing them roughly. We also have some pickled cucumbers, which I secretly made before. They were just soaked in vinegar, so we’ll add them. Then, we add finely chopped onions. Season it with salt and pepper. Finally, mix it all together with mayonnaise, and it’s done.

“This is tartar sauce.”

“Yes.”

“Looks delicious.”

“Mew.”

“You can taste it, but it’s particularly delicious when you dip it in karaage, so let’s make karaage.”

“Great!”

We marinate the meat in a special sauce made of salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger. Now, it’s time to cook it. Dip it in flour and deep-fry it in oil.

Well, the cooking process is the same as before. The only difference is that we added more pepper this time.

And there you have it, piping hot karaage is ready.

“Mayonnaise is fine, or just as it is, or even tartar sauce. What do you all prefer?”

“I want one as it is and the rest with tartar sauce!”

“I’ll have mine with tartar sauce, please.”
