Chapter 173 - Chinese Asparagus Lions Head Meatballs (1/2)

After washing the conch meat with clear water a few times, he boiled the water. After adding cold water and cooling it to 80 degrees celsius, he could boil the conch in the pot. Once it was cooked for two to three seconds, the conch meat was immediately scooped out.

He used the remaining water to heat up the sliced celery. The celery was green and did not release a strong taste.

He added some salt to the oil and stir-fried the celery until it was cooked.

The taste of the conch meat was very hard. There was a fine line between tender and hard. Hence, after the wine was prepared, Xu Le immediately threw the conch meat in and increased the heat.

The wine was wrapped evenly around the conch meat. After putting it on the plate, he used celery as the base. The conch meat looked like blooming peony petals. The texture was crisp, clear, and sweet, but it did not lose the freshness of seafood. It was sweet and sour, and it was appetizing. Be it with wine or with rice, it was extremely compatible.

“It’s so beautiful.”

Li Qing was so tired that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He picked up a piece of conch and put it into his mouth. “I’ll help you taste it.”

The fragrance of the wine and the “pot gas” rushed into his mouth. The intense sourness and sweetness stimulated his taste buds, causing Li Qing to cough and raise his eyebrows.

“Doesn’t it taste good?”

Xu Le took a bite as he asked.

“That’s not it.”

Li Qing hesitated if he should take another bite. He said, “I haven’t eaten much of the wine so I was not used to it just now. After chewing for a while, the taste of the conch meat is very good.”

Zhang Tong thought for a long time and frowned. “Isn’t it too risky to make this dish?”

For an experienced chef like him who had been in the industry for a long time, he could taste the freshness of the conch meat with just a bite. Although it was wonderful when stir-fried together, if he did not control the heat well, it would taste hard and extremely unpalatable.

He could not help but feel worried. “This dish is too difficult. Can you guarantee that every batch produced is the same?”

Xu Le nodded without hesitation. “Of course.”

Hearing his confident tone, Zhang Tong couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, but he couldn’t say anything else.

The few of them made the arrangements and cooperated smoothly like an assembly line. Lu Yuxi kept hammering the meat filling until she was so tired that her arms were aching.

Xu Zhexian, who was almost 40 years old, also stopped what he was doing and panted heavily.

Lu Yuxi muttered, “There’s so much minced meat. How many dumplings are you planning to make later?”

Xu Zhexian put his hands on his hips and said, “It tastes better handmade, but this is too troublesome.”

The camera turned and the live-stream was broadcasting the last match. It was especially popular and the number of online viewers had exceeded ten million.

“What’s there to compete? The final champion will definitely be the Master Chef.”

“That’s right. He definitely has to give the little Master Chef some face in the last round. How can he win?”

“The outcome is obvious after a draw.”

“I bet 50 cents that Xu Le will win!”

“Ah, Xu Le is too cute. He’s so serious and cute!”

“Hurry up and show off that octopus in my mouth!”

“Everyone, please vote for Xu Le!”
