Ah, put rice in the bottom first! That way the sauce can soak in.

[ Viktor gets a bowl himself and spoons out a fairly generous portion of rice for himself and Yuuri. When he pours the stroganoff on top, the beef, onions, and mushrooms become more obvious as the sauce soaks into the rice.

The rice is a bit crunchy still around the edges of the steamer (hasn't Viktor ever used a rice cooker before??) and some of the onions are chopped too big, but the flavor of the beef and sour cream is pretty damn good. ]

[ Crunchy rice. Jeez. But otherwise it's not too bad? Actually good, in fact. He takes the first spoonful tentatively ... and then gladly starts chowing down on the rest. ]

This is amazing, Viktor.

[ Only slightly okay!! He tried anyway. He smiles at the compliment, letting out a relieved breath. ]

Oh good! I haven't made this in years so I was a bit worried.

Is this a family recipe?

[fourlevels]

Not really. Just a basic recipe I think every Russian knows in their blood.

[nextlevel]

That kind of counts ...

[ He continues to eat gratefully. ]

[fourlevels]

Is it the same for Japanese and pork cutlet bowls?

[ Viktor also serves them both a plate of salad as well, scooting the plate over to Yuuri. ]

[nextlevel]

Pork cutlet's a bit harder to make, I think.

[ He tucks into that as well. ]

[ Viktor only takes a few bites of his own meal before he's just watching Yuuri eat, his chin resting on his hand. ]

Oh, there's much more complicated recipes out there. This is just incredibly simplified.

[nextlevel]

[ He always has a good appetite after skating. But the good food helps. ]

It still tastes good.

[fourlevels]

I'm glad you think that. So the something special turned out to be a success?

[nextlevel]

Surprisingly, yes.

[fourlevels]

What do you mean "surprisingly"? No faith, Yuuuuuuri ...

[nextlevel]

It's a good thing! You said you liked surprising people.

[fourlevels]

[ It's somewhat subtle, but Viktor actually brightens at that, looking immensely pleased. ]

That's true, I do.

[nextlevel]

[ Good. Yuuri warms in turn, glad to see Viktor perk up. ]

Next time we can cook together.

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor really does like his surprises. ]

Maybe you can try teaching me how to cook pork cutlets again?
