THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
Flavour

Dragon meat is clearly different from beef, especially in terms of veins, fat and meat itself.

Obviously the flesh of the strongest creature in the world of Dios has a chewy and hard texture because in the content of dragon meat a little fat and more veins or muscles.

Zen cannot deny if cooking dragon meat is very high risk will fail, which when cooking too short or too long, then it results in making it very hard.

But rendang is a type of cuisine that takes a long time, so he must set cooking techniques to reduce the risk of failure.

There are two ways, first is to put the meat together with spices and cook it directly.

This would indeed make the taste of rendang meat dishes become spectacular, but he remembered that the ingredients used were not cows, but dragons.

Zen chose the second way, which is to separate the boiling of dragon meat and rendang seasoning. This is the best way because he can make sure the texture of dragon meat is tender first then Zen mixes with the spice.

For this one, Zen reduces the risk of cooking failure when the seasoning is ripe but dragon meat is still hard and difficult to chew.

First of all Zen took out all the small dragon meat cut in no time using the Excalixer sword.

Next, he began to smear each piece of dragon meat using a golden yellow liquid, which was honey.

Zen keeps the honey from one of the fire-tailed Bees that live in a lair while traveling to the royal city of Zorgan.

Know that honey is very good for health, although Zen does not need it because he never gets sick, but it is still useful when the mouth wants to eat something sweet.

In fact, the honey that he stored was really useful, although he should have chosen boiling with pineapple, but unfortunately, Zen did not find pineapple here, he also replaced it with honey.

Honey has the same enzyme substances to soften the meat, Zen believes it works because all kinds of animals, want demonic animals or other animals, as long as they can be eaten in the body has protein. Pineapple and honey are the solution.

After all the meat is finished mashed with honey, Zen keeps it for some time to make the texture of dragon meat becomes tender.

Xin Sanziu and Sung Cheng, look at how Zen cooks.

Like a judge during a cooking competition, Xin Sanziu asked and Sung Cheng made a comment.

"What do you think, chef Sung Cheng from the way this Zen master cooks." Ask Xin Sanziu.

Shaking Sung Cheng's head...."Hmm this is unusual."

"Unusual as what do you mean ?."

"I just found out if Damnu liquid, can be used for meat, usually only used as a sweetener drink only." He thought seriously.

'Damnu' itself is a liquid produced by the demonic beast bee, or the same is another name for honey in the dictionary of the world Dios.'

"Then what about your way ?." Re-question Xin Sanziu.

"I will use the Na'as fruit to tenderize the Dragon's flesh." Reply Sung Cheng.

Zen who heard the comment, immediately approached... "Why don't you put that Na'as fruit in the kitchen, from the beginning I looked for it you know."

"Yes I thought today we didn't use it, so I saved it." Sung Cheng said to himself.

"That's not a big deal."

Without the need to waste any time, Zen returned to prepare another material...

Galangal, lemongrass, pepper, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon, coconut and turmeric in large quantities... Because now he had to make rendang seasoning for one hundred and fifty kilos of dragon meat.

Zen smooths galangal, lemongrass, onion, turmeric, garlic, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon pepper and large red chili. As usual, here there is no blender, so Zen can only surrender using a scratch or tear.

Now Zen must open the coconut to taste the food when mixing in cooking meat.

Using the Zen Excalixer sword peeling the coconut skin was as easy as turning the palm of the hand, only one troublesome thing was grating the coconut meat.

Can imagine how long he had to grate a coconut as much as twenty grains. In the end Zen chose a simple way, which is to crush all the coconut meat into porridge and squeeze all the food.

For the period of time he had determined, the process of plucking dragon meat was enough.one large cauldron he filled with water, then put all the meat to be boiled half-cooked.

It only takes an hour for cooking, because with honey it has made the meat tender and then drain all the water to dry.

Xin Sanziu and Sung Cheng walked over looking at the spice that Zen pureed by smelling its aroma.

Sung Cheng also commented.

"Are you sure Mr. Zen, with all this mixture of ingredients, you'll make the taste of the flesh messy." Sung Cheng said in an opinion.

But Zen kept smiling to answer his own beliefs...."Hmmm the disheveledness that chef Sung Cheng meant, to me is a taste rich in spices."

"I wonder how it will feel."

"When it's all ripe, you'll know that it's the best cuisine in the whole universe, except for the Padang restaurant." Because Zen was conscious, he was only following the recipe he knew.

While the masterpiece of a rendang is in the Padang restaurant.

"Federah Padang, where is it..." Sung Cheng was curious to hear the name that Zen called.

"One area, where I used to live." At least it's true.

Sung Cheng only nodded his head acting like a smart person.

Zen poured cooking oil made from animal fat, and sauteed the spice of the spice mixture.

It turned out that Sung Cheng's assumption about the spices that Zen made would be disheveled immediately, where he and Xin Sanziu could smell fragrant after being sauteed.

"I feel like this dragon meat dish would be really amazing." Xin Sanziu could not hide his interested expression.

However unlike Sung Cheng, he still did not acknowledge that, he wanted to know how Zen cuisine felt when all was done.

Zen infuses dragon meat and coconut milk into the seasoning.

At this time Zen must be careful, the dragon meat is perfectly tender, but if the fire is too big or the hands stop stirring then the seasoning will be charred.

For two hours Zen did not stop moving his hands to continue stirring 200 kilos of dragon meat along with herbs and coconut milk.

In front of the hot flames and also the heavy weight of rendang meat for two hours, it was like a physical exercise was quite draining.

Giving salt, sugar and flavoring that he created himself, until coconut milk mixed with spices began to dissolve into one, the color turned brown which indicates it has matured perfectly.

"It's rendang, it's not wrong anymore." Zen smiled proudly at himself.

Zen took out one small piece of dragon shawl meat and tasted it.

A moment of stunned, tears dripped, the taste of the cuisine was not as good as the Padang restaurant, but the nostalgic memories of rendang meat made by his mother flashed in mind.

"For the first time, I really miss my mom's cooking." Zen Gumam.

The longing is just a yearning, his family on earth is gone, a kara and fought hard to stay alive. But here he has a new family to take care of him.
