Chapter 47 - Making [Crab Roe] (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The dish [Imitation Crab], or [Crab Roe] is quite famous.”

As Xu Le spoke, he took out the ingredients from the fridge.

To deal with the production team’s request, Xu Le would already give them an explanation while cooking.

Otherwise, the program team staff would not be able to understand many of his steps.

“It’s impossible to determine where this dish originated from or who invented it. However, we can tell from the name of this dish that the purpose of this dish is—crabs!”

“Crabs are very expensive ingredients, so when one cannot afford to eat crabs, many chefs would make this [Imitation Crab] to imitate the taste of crab roe and crab meat.”

“This dish is a traditional Chinese specialty. It has a smooth texture and is rich in nutrition. It tastes like crab meat and is suitable for both young and old.”

“The ingredients used are very simple. The main ingredient is fish meat, and the supplementary ingredient is eggs. These two ingredients are also quite common. After adding all kinds of condiments, this dish will exhibit a taste similar to that of crabs, and also a look similar to that of crabs.”

Xu Le took out a piece of sole fish and a few eggs.

“Is it that simple?”

A staff member of the program team whispered.

Xu Le smiled when he heard that. “That’s right, it’s that simple.”

“You might think that making crabs is a very difficult task, but in fact, it’s also the charm of cooking.”

“Many years ago, someone discovered that the mixture of vinegar and ginger would produce a taste similar to that of crabs after a unique way of handling it. Now, let me show you!”

As he spoke, he started to heat the oil.

The cooking officially began.

At this moment, the entire hall was silent.

Whether it was the program team of Taste of China or Central TV’s live broadcast, all of the staff were staring at Xu Le.

They wanted to see how Xu Le could create this amazing [Imitation Crab].

Especially after these two days of experience, they had already felt the charm of cooking.

It was especially enjoyable to watch Xu Le cook.

It was as if they were looking at a master painting. The natural cooking gave off a soothing and aesthetic feeling.

Because every step was the simplest, most direct, and most perfect.

There were no unnecessary steps.

Every step was just right. It was really an ecstatic cooking process.

The process of cooking this [Imitation Crab] was the same.

Although the production team had just come to film, and Xu Le had never tried this dish in the real world.

The previous night, Xu Le had already confirmed to prepare this dish.

He exchanged for the [Imitation Crab] recipe in the System Shop and practiced for an hour in the system space.

Under the time flow that was 365 times slower.

He had been practicing this dish for half a month without stopping. His level of proficiency was naturally incomparable and terrifying.

As a result, Xu Le was already in his best condition when he took out the ingredients.

In his eyes, everything else was no longer important.

Everything about the venue, the people watching around, the environment…
