This chapter is a cooking edition first, yes.. 🤭. Can't protest...😩
Today Keiko woke up so early. He is planning to make a special meal for Takagi. But he did not know what the man's favorite food was. After weighing long enough, Keiko finally decided to make a Sushi Chicken Katsu Burger. Before returning to his apartment last night, he took the time to shop for his cooking needs this time.
Being in the kitchen, reminds me of his old memories. Keiko used to love cooking when her first year of marriage was with Geo. The activity began to wane, when there was a slight spark between them and Geo started to rarely go home. The cuisine that Keiko made for Geo, was never touched again by the man. Keiko often spends on her own, the dishes she cooks with all her heart.
Keiko took a heavy breath, trying to get rid of the memory that just flashed through her mind. All the tools and materials to be used, he collected into 1 on the kitchen table. After putting on the appron, Keiko began her cooking activities. Keiko started with rice. (Rice chosen to serve sushi is short grain or medium grain, which is rice with a short or medium grain size and round shape, called koshihikari).
While waiting for the tanak rice, Keiko made chicken katsu first. (Chicken katsu is a typical Japanese crispy fried chicken, usually accompanied by tonkatsu spices, namely sweet and savory barbeque sauce).
Keiko washes clean chicken fillet breast meat without skin. Then thinned and dilated the breast meat in a way sliced thinly into 2 without interruption. Then he beat the meat using a special tool meat bat to make the meat wider and more tender. The meat is then sprinkled with a small amount of salt and ground pepper while being flipped over so that the seasoning is flat on the surface of the meat. The meat is then allowed to sit and put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so that the seasoning soaks in. While waiting, Keiko prepared the flour ingredients, namely seasoning flour, egg whisk, and panir flour or bread flour in 3 different containers. After 15 minutes, the meat is taken out of the refrigerator and rolled into seasoning flour. Then dip it into the egg and roll the meat into bread flour, until all the meat is evenly coated. Keiko then heats the oil in a frying pan with medium heat. Then fry chicken katsu until cooked brownish yellow.
After the rice was cooked, he mixed the sushi rice, with the sesame already roasted. Rice is then printed like a round bread used on a burger, then baked in a skillet that has been sprayed with olive oil until it looks the shape of the grill. Then he went on to compose sushi burger, katsu, lettuce, zuchini, tomato, mayonnaise mixed with chili sauce and then sushi burger.
“Completed.” Keiko smiled at the results of her cooking.
He put two servings of sushi burgers in a lunch box made of wood.
Keiko is ready to go to the hospital. He rushed into the bathroom to clean himself up. It didn't take long for her to come out of the bathroom with wet hair rolled up, with a small towel and white towel coiled around her beautiful body. Keiko headed straight for her wardrobe. Choose a long-sleeved white cuff, combine it with a milk-brown blazer with matching color trousers. Dress up in moderation do not forget to spray a little fragrance on his body. Keiko immediately went to the hospital not forgetting to bring the food that he had prepared.
Some time later he headed to the floor where Takagi was being treated. On the floor it looks more crowded than usual. There are some people who wear the uniform of one of the famous restaurants in Osaka, passing by carrying several push tables/trolleys of food delivery restaurants.
“ May, what's up?” Keiko asked a nurse.
“A patient again birthday, Doc. His ex-wife wanted to surprise him. He asked permission directly to the Head of Hospital”.
“Which patient?”.
“Patient Doctor Masao. Detective Takagi if not mistakenly named”.
Keiko's blood rippled, as soon as she heard the name of the man who had lately filled her days.
“The woman also prepared meals for all the hospital employees, Doc. It seems that she is trying to take back the heart of her ex-husband” Whispered the nurse with a smile.
“Oh so. Thank you Mei”.
“Sama-sama, Doc. Noon, don't go anywhere. We ate-eat yummy”.
Keiko just smiled at the nurse's words in May. He then went to Takagi's nursery. From afar it is seen, if in the room there is a celebration. By standing behind a nurse, Keiko can see the closeness of the ex-husband. The beautiful blue-eyed woman was seen hugging and embracing Takagi, as soon as Takagi blew her birthday cake. Shortly afterwards he kissed Takagi's left and right cheeks and tightly hugged the man's body. Accompanied by the loud applause of everyone present in the room, they looked very happy.
Keiko left the place while hugging her lunch box. He chose to return to his room. Saving his heart that felt pain.
