He washed all the ingredients and soaked them in clear water.
The abalones, scallops, and sea cucumbers were all dried under the sun and had to be soaked in water for half an hour before they could return to their full and juicy state.
In any case, he did not have to spend any money on these, so Xu Le even took a piece of high-quality beef.
The M9-grade Australia Wagyu beef was about 200 grams. Xu Le cut it into meat cubes the size of fingernails.
“Hehe, the feeling of casually using any ingredients is really good.”
All sorts of high-quality ingredients were placed in front of him, which made Xu Le feel very happy.
According to current market price, 200 grams of M9-grade Australia Wagyu beef could be sold for 200 yuan.
It was almost worth 1 yuan per gram.
After all the ingredients were prepared, the cooking process that followed was very familiar to Xu Le.
Bang!
On the stove, bright blue flames spewed out as Xu Le turned the heat to its maximum.
Any dish that needed to be stir-fried had to be cooked with a huge fire to achieve the most perfect taste and produce the ‘wok steam’!
Making use of the high temperature, he wanted to draw out the fragrance of the food.
Xu Le had a good understanding of the various ingredients and added them in a specific order.
Ham, scallop, mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots, wagyu beef, abalones…
Sizzle—
The glistening oil and fragrance gushed out together.
This wok of high-grade ingredients each emitted their own fragrance. And when all their fragrances were mixed together, it did not seem conflicting. Instead, it was very harmonious.
The color of the ingredients in the wok was increasingly alluring.
The fragrance had already permeated half of the venue. The other contestants couldn’t help but stop what they were doing and look over.
Xu Le gently flipped the ingredients in the wok. The ingredients evenly merged, revealing a golden color. The level of temptation in this dish was still soaring.
After stir-frying, Xu Le took out a few eggs and separated their yolk and egg whites.
The egg yolk and rice were added together, dyeing each grain of rice the color of gold.
It was like a big bowl of golden beans, shining with an enchanting light.
“This is the Golden Egg Fried Rice!”
A look of astonishment appeared on the face of Chef Lin Shuwei.
“He even knows such a lost recipe. Xu Le is really something!”
Even Zhang Tong had been able to recognize this dish, not to mention Chef Lin.
He immediately recognized the cooking technique that Xu Le was using. It was the “Golden Egg Fried Rice” that was passed down by the imperial chefs in the past!
The rice grains that had been coated with egg yolk were quickly stir-fried in the wok.
During the last time when Xu Le cooked the Egg Fried Rice, there was one flaw. It was that he did not have chicken soup at that time and could not bring out the freshness of the various ingredients.
But this time, it was different…
Xu Le opened the lid of the pot beside him and scooped out a spoonful of clear soup.
This was the “boiling water” for [Boiling Cabbage]!
This spoonful of soup was made from countless precious ingredients that were simmered for two hours. After three rounds of ‘sweeping the soup’, it became so clear that one could see the bottom. It was also rich and fragrant.
When did an ordinary Egg Fried Rice receive such treatment?
The “boiling water” was poured into the pot along the edge of the wok, making a sizzling sound.
The fragrance was instantly stimulated to the extreme.
This spoonful of soup was like a catalyst, stimulating the taste of all the precious ingredients to the greatest extent and blending them together just like it was supposed to.
At this moment, the taste of the fried rice could be said to be extremely delicious!
All kinds of saltiness, fragrance, freshness and sweetness fused together, but it did not seem out of place.
This time, Xu Le didn’t choose to make the egg floss because he didn’t need it anymore.
