I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

272 – Fried Rice on the Iron Plate

ㅡSweet… !

When the brass lid, which resembles a silver pot, is opened, thick steam rises from the inside.

At the same time, a cozy smell is felt.

A warm yet subtle sweetness.

It was the first time I knew this smell was so sweet and savory.

A smell that was difficult to sense before being possessed irritates my nose and evokes nostalgia. Even though it was a familiar smell, it felt new because it had been so long since I smelled it.

‘Hmm~ I never thought I would miss this smell so much. I want to eat it right away with a spoon…’

ㅡMorakmorak… !

As soon as the thick steam cleared, the contents appeared inside the pot. Something pure white and flat is drawing a horizon inside the pot.

“Teacher? Could this be… ?”

“I was expecting something sweet for dessert, but what is this? Teacher, this is just rice, right?”

Sonya and Eros stare at me.

With a dumbfounded expression.

There was also a bit of disappointment there.

In particular, Eros was muttering something like ‘Teacher, are you really such an idiot~?’ And making a pleasant expression.

“Yes, it’s Bob. But as I said before, it is not complete yet.”

ㅡFluffy… !

With those words, I turned the pot over.

On top of the heated grill again.

Then, rice comes out in a wide cylindrical shape, just like the shape of the pot.

Looking at it like this, it looks like some type of rice cake was steamed.

As expected, the grains of rice stick together quite well.

The rice was cooked better than I expected.

At first, I was worried about just cooking rice. That had to be the case because the only fluffy Indica rice, that is, long rice commonly known as Annam rice, was available here.

Besides, there were all other kitchen utensils,

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a pressure cooker.

Because of that, I had no choice but to cook pot rice whenever I could.

‘I wondered what would happen if the grains of rice fluttered about helplessly… It’s a good thing I cooked the rice a little. I think it’s pretty good because I used enough moxibustion, right?’

ㅡUgh, swoosh… !

I naturally spread the rice grains onto the grill using the spatula I brought with me. So that the stir-fried kimchi and meat pieces can be mixed well.

If you stir it from side to side a few times, the grains of rice will loosen more easily than you might think. No matter how well you steamed it, it was inevitable that the rice varieties would be different.

Well, there was no problem with the fried rice. Don’t they make fried rice with similar varieties of rice in Thailand and Vietnam?

Of course, what I’m trying to make now is far from something like nasi goreng.

“Seo, teacher? What are you doing now… ?”

“Mr. Heojeop-?! “If you play with your food, you will be punished by your ancestors!”

“Hmm… ?”

Two guys suddenly looking at me with shocked expressions.

It’s just frying rice on an iron plate,

I didn’t know I would be this scared.

Is it because they mixed it with existing food?

To be honest, he was making a similar facial expression to when I witnessed Seirin’s death.

It must have been an unfamiliar scene.

It’s like eating cold noodles with pork cutlet.

When I think about it this way, it makes perfect sense.

Moreover, dragons do not like to eat grains in the first place. It was natural to feel awkward.

“Don’t be too surprised. “It’s just stir-fried rice.”

I left only these words and started cooking in earnest. It tastes best when you fry it quickly while there is still oil on the grill.

The intention was to inject meaty flavor and umami into each grain of rice.

ㅡToduk… !

First, square pieces of butter are dropped between rice grains that are concave like craters.

ㅡChijijijik… !

A large piece of butter instantly melts in the heat of the grill and seeps into the space between the rice grains. At the same time, the savory flavor vibrates in the lounge.

It would be nice to have sesame oil instead of butter, but I think it would already be delicious with just that.

ㅡSnip! Snip!

But it’s still too early to finish.

I additionally added kimchi.

Then, the pre-made red sauce was added.

It was like that. What I’m making right now is fried rice for dessert. The only problem is that there is no sesame oil and seaweed powder.

Still, top quality meat, kimchi, and rice.

Just these three things were enough.

The pre-made seasoning was all there was to it.

The juices and butter that flow out from grilling the meat seep into the rice grains, and the red-hot seasoning sets the overall color and seasoning.

This marinade contained a small amount of soy sauce, sugar, and finely ground spicy paprika powder.

-You guys… !

Moreover, the meat that Sonya left for me is stuck in the middle of the rice grains, adding chewiness and rich flavor.

“Bah, is the rice bright red? It doesn’t look that good, but it smells nice… ?”

“I’ve had fried rice with eggs and meat before, but this is the first time I’ve seen fried rice with this color! I wonder what it tastes like… !”

ㅡPut, hold… !

ㅡChii Iik… !

As I spread out the well-fried rice grains on the iron plate, the two guys looked at me curiously. You’re probably wondering what this is doing.

“Are we done now?”

“No, please wait a moment until the rice sticks sufficiently.”

“Is the rice stuck? “Isn’t that what happens when you burn rice?”

“Foot, it’s completely different from that. And when you eat it later, you will know why I did it.”

“Teacher? I have no idea what you’re talking about…”

“You’ll see later. “I’m literally frying grains of rice.”

The oil from the meat and the savory butter heat the rice grains underneath as if frying them. During this process, the condensed flavor seeps into each grain of rice.

ㅡRabbit… !

A savory flavor slowly emerges.

I think it’s almost done now.

My mouth is watering too and I can’t hold it in any longer.

‘Okay, I think this is enough?’

ㅡThat drama, that drama… !

Let’s scrape the bottom of the grill with a wooden spatula,

The beautiful appearance of scorched rice is revealed.

Even thanks to precise heat control, it comes off cleanly without anything sticking to the iron plate.

Anyone who sees it will just think I used a coating pan.

ㅡRubbly, chin… ! Up!

The finished fried rice is distributed one after another.

Shiny rice grains and an appetite-stimulating red color.

Plus, crispy scorched rice and plenty of ingredients.

Now that I think about it, I think it’s my first time coming here and eating rice. Most meals were filled with bread or meat.

“Okay, now that it’s done, let’s stop looking and take a spoonful. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

ㅡHaap… !

As I said those words, I lifted the spoon.

Because I wanted to take a big bite right away.

It’s freshly fried hot dessert fried rice.

“Hehe, hehe… ! Puha, haeu… !”

How long has it been since you last tasted this hot rice in your mouth?

ㅡOmul omul… !

I savored the fried rice, spitting out hot smoke as if I were a dragon. It was so hot that I felt like I could burst out my breath at any moment.

Perhaps because it was my first time eating rice in a long time, I felt like I swallowed it hastily. But…

‘Isn’t this hotter than you think? It was definitely stir-fried over high heat?’

In the past, the entire roof of my mouth would have been burned.

Probably thanks to the influence of Dragon Heart.

I only have a few dragon hearts, but I can’t get hit by hot rice.

By the way, this is really worth eating.

It was a bit disappointing that the grains of rice had no strength,

It was tasty enough to eat.

Because the crunchy kimchi and chewy meat had a good texture.

ㅡOmul omul… !

ㅡYum yum yum… !

Sonya and Eros were already following me in tasting. Both of them are silent, puffing out their cheeks and pursing their mouths like hamsters.

“This… ! “Maybe it’s because the slightly spicy flavor is added to the rice grains, so I keep going!”

After finishing her throat first, Sonya opens her mouth with sparkling eyes.

“Does it suit your taste?”

“Of course! The scent of butter is also fragrant… As expected, the teacher’s skills are the best… ! “It’s so delicious!”

Sonya leaves a good review this time too. On the other hand, her classmate and her best friend her her, Eros…

ㅡSo-geun-so-geun…

He was mumbling something into a large spoonful of fried rice. At first, I thought he was just complaining about fried rice, but something was suspicious.

ㅡGiggle, giggle… ♡

A guy with his body bent down and a small smile on his face.

It gave off a suspicious vibe to anyone who saw it.

Like a dark conspiracy plotting a huge plot.

But…

“ … This time, I’m going to make the perverted teacher mine. Make it delicious, yap-♡”

There was too much spirit at the end.

Or maybe I can’t whisper softly?

This time, I was fascinated by food.

‘Look at this guy… ? Continuing from Lover’s Day, today too?’

I’m afraid I’m being lazy, so I’m letting my inner thoughts be heard openly. I gave you that warning…

“Hey~♡ Mr. Heojeop~? Could you please eat some of this? It’s my reward for making something delicious-♡”

However, her partner her Eros, did not notice at all.

ㅡSmirking&

He just looks at me and gives a sinister smile. Rather, his eyes were full of anticipation.

ㅡCheoeok… !

How dare you proudly thrust a spoon full of fried rice at me.

“Kuguguk… &”

She even continued to show her pointed fangs, clearly showing her dark inner thoughts. She couldn’t hold back and started laughing.

Ugh, I still haven’t come to my senses.

There’s nothing we can do about this.

I was born as a poor dragon.

I have no choice but to use this opportunity to guide them properly…

“… Oh, is that so? Thank you for thinking of me.”

“Kukuguk-♡ right? So quickly open your mouth. Because Eros himself will feed you~!”

When I accept it in moderation, he pushes the spoon closer to me and shows off.

I know you’re doing this because you like me,

If you decide on a hierarchy, you have to stick to it.

I hope you come to your senses this time…

ㅡTeoup… !

ㅡaah!

“Whoa… ? Seo, teacher? Suddenly Mahane… !?”

I quickly grabbed Eros’ wrist and horn before he could resist.

ㅡBingrrrr…

Eros’ hand holding the spoon is suppressed, and the enchanted fried rice moves in the opposite direction.

“I am always grateful in my heart, but my stomach is full now. So, will you let me feed you this time?”

“Ooh, don’t be ridiculous… ! What’s wrong with the human subject… ?”

“Please be quiet.”

“Hi! Rather, please let go of the horns… ♡”

Is it because some of the dormant power has been awakened? The power struggle with the hatchling was a piece of cake.

Of course, it was partly because he was holding on tightly to his weak point, the horn, but even with that, he was able to easily subdue Eros.

It feels like dealing with a child.

“Haout? Oh no… This is rough-♡”

“Yes. All you have to do is open your mouth yourself.”

“… Hauuup?!”

The spoon goes straight to the mouth of Eros, who was defeated in such a one-sided power struggle.

ㅡSoooook… !

Because Eros reacts so fussily, fried rice goes straight into his mouth.

-Gulp… !

The guy who was pushed by the human swallows the fried rice as if declaring defeat.

OK…

ㅡTiring!
