[The next day (after this), at Seventh Heaven, Sanji will get a nice little plate delivered early-on to the kitchen when the moment's right, covered with see-through plastic wrap. And Kotetsu hopes you'll accept it, because he worked into the night making his very best. Even ran to the grocery in the dead of the night; bell peppers were important for the texture of it!
There was a nice lady in a kimono who caught him just in time and took the plate, promising that the chef'll get it. That she'll let him know 'that one guy' is sorry about ruining his mood yesterday. And that he definitely needs to let him know if he did an okay job, later, since it's all he really knows how to make.
[November 18th] KOTETSU REALLY. WHAT EVEN.odastillhatesmeNovember 18 2011, 14:12:28 UTC
[That poor lady in the kimono relays the message and delivers the food, as promised, and coincidentally is treated to the Many Faces of Sanji. Confusion -> Dawning Horror -> Irritation -> Exasperation -> All following up to a sudden burst of good humor as he laughs and shakes his head, as if he's encountered something so beyond his scope of understanding, all he can do is roll with it.
He's going to kick that idiot. Right now, in fact. He offers his workers sincere apologies as he slides out the restaurant, only sparing enough time to grab a spoon so he can taste this apologetic concoction.
... Hm. Pretty good, if slightly salty.
And none of this will show on the man's expression when he arrives at the apartment room and knocks on the door, his features schooled into flatness.]
[November 18th] you totally cook for chefs to apologize 1/2wildkotetsuNovember 18 2011, 14:18:52 UTC
[Eh-
He drops the journal and walks casually to the door, and you'd think he'd consider it'd be Sanji coming to murder see him. But no, because he was expecting someone else entirely, as shown by his rather nonchalant approach. He's looking off toward something as he opens the door.]

[Surprise! Aren't you happy to see me?
And Sanji just gracefully slides his lanky-self right inside, muscling Kotetsu a little out of the way. He still has the fried rice in his hand, half-eaten]
... You used a little too much soy sauce. [And then he takes another large bite, munching and staring and gauging whatever response he gets]
[November 18th] wildkotetsuNovember 18 2011, 14:37:06 UTC
Aa, it's really the only thing I know how to make, and it's nice because you can throw just about anything in it and it'll taste good. Though I've been trying to make it perfect for a few years now.
[Did you really just frolic into my house to critique my cooking?
[November 18th] odastillhatesmeNovember 18 2011, 14:43:35 UTC
[Sanji's dickery knows no bounds.
And he takes another bite, chewing thoughtfully, before his next reply]
Alright. I'll show you a trick. This is well-made enough that you won't have any problems.
[Kotetsu was only half-right. Sanji just frolicked into your house to critique your cooking and give you pointers. And he is now moving towards the kitchen, completely unruffled.]
[November 18th] odastillhatesmeNovember 18 2011, 23:51:52 UTC
Well, tell me how you make your version first. [He puts his meal into the fridge for safe-keeping, soon after rolling his sleeves up] It'll save on time.
[November 18th] wildkotetsuNovember 19 2011, 00:16:34 UTC
Right! Well, obviously first you gotta use rice that's already cooked; if you try to go for uncooked with all your other stuff, it just gets all gross and mushy. [Lucky me, I still have like a whole tub of rice to make to my hearts content. `_`
He may or may not be tying on a white apron as he talks. Gotta keep my clothes impressionable!]
The books back home said that two or three days is a good time to let it sit, and I usually always had take-out left over, so I did a lot of experimenting on whatever off-time I got.
[Hmm. :|a]
... A lot of 'em said a whole bunch of different rices to use, but they cost a hell of a lot more money than normal rice for a quick meal, y'know...?
[November 18th] odastillhatesmeNovember 19 2011, 00:35:55 UTC
Higher quality rice can make a difference, but generally, take-out rice works fine. [You're talking to a chef. He only uses the higher quality stuff, when he can get away with it.]
Alright, what after that? [He pulls out the necessary equipment] What ingredients do you use?
[November 18th] wildkotetsuNovember 19 2011, 01:03:37 UTC
Aaah, well, the shrimp fried rice is my favorite. [He digs around in the fridge and freezer, piling whatever he needs in his arms.] You use some oyster sauce if you got it, a little soy, and you get the usual kinds of stuff to toss in. Shrimp and peas and green onions, maybe a few peppers and some onion.
[Oh! Right!]
And eggs are really important, too. At least, it tastes better to me with 'em.
[Just gonna light up the stove and start getting my rice and stir-fry oils and all that ready to go! YOSH. HEROIC COOKING ACTION!! :D]

Which is all good enough for him.]

... Oh well.
TIME FOR COOKING.]
A trick, huh? Hope it's nothing too fancy; I'll probably screw it up, otherwise.

That it? [A slight grin] No wonder it was so salty. You need to add some sugar to it.
