Chapter 119 - Stir-frying Food for the First Time (2/2)

Cortis placed the bamboo on the same old spot to barbecue, while Bai Qingqing asked Parker to cut the pork into thin slices, before placing them into the stone pot.

“Are we cooking pork steamboat?” Parker asked.

Bai Qingqing shook her head. “We’re not adding water, just stir-frying it a little.”

It had been a long while since she ate stir-fried food. Bai Qingqing was really craving for it. Too bad there weren’t green chilies, black fungus, and other ingredients. She wasn’t sure if simply frying the pork alone would taste good.

This was a new dish, so Bai Qingqing could only do it herself. After the pot was heated up, Parker brought her the oil contained in bamboo.

“It’s so convenient now,” Parker said with a sigh.

“Yeah.” Bai Qingqing smiled and took it from him. She added a few drops of oil into the stone pot, before pouring the pork belly slices into it.

Splattering sounds came from the pot, and very quickly, the fragrance of the stir-fried meat wafted through the air.

Because she was frying pork belly, with the two layers of fat, there was now more oil in the pot.

Parker gazed at the pot in astonishment and asked with a confused look, “I was just thinking that there was very little oil in the pot earlier. Why is there suddenly so much oil in the pot?”

Bai Qingqing said, “And you call me stupid. This meat is fatty, that’s why.”

“I know that. I just hadn’t expected it to contain so much oil.”

Bai Qingqing stir-fried a little, then sprinkled ginger, garlic, Sichuan pepper, and other condiments into the pot. Instantly, the fragrance became richer. Even though Parker had never tried it before, merely smelling it made his mouth water.

Without other ingredients, the 1kg of meat only came up to about one plateful after stir-frying it. It looked golden-brown on the outside and smelled very aromatic. It really whetted one’s appetite.

Seeing Parker staring eagerly at the plate, Bai Qingqing smiled and picked up a slice with her chopsticks. “Try it.”
