The reason why he was so iwhat she said In fact, it would be , was creative
In fact, it didn’t reallywas that Daisy’s dishes kept bothering him So, he had no choice but to visit and annoy a chef specializing in Chinese cooking, whom he kneell
“I don’t know!” Chloe said like a sourpuss “Even though I make some Chinese dishes, they’re not authentic Chinese cuisine Mine is American style!”
“Isn’t there any overlap between your Chinese cooking and Daisy’s? For example, spices I want to know more about how to use them”
“I really don’t knoell I just followed the recipes my mom used I didn’t learn it forht…”
He bowed his head as if he was disappointed Chloe wanted to make him smile, but she couldn’t At first, when he asked her about the Chinese cuisine, she responded to each of his questions kindly, but as time passed, he asked more difficult questions For example, he asked her why the different spices clashed in Chinese food Especially when he brought up the topic about the Chinese style of cooking and recipes that she had never heard of, she felt like she was learning fro
“Where did you learn about Chinese cooking so much?”
“On the internet”
“Yeah, we live in the infore anyway” She shook her head
Then she s with his hair
“Then can I introduce you to a teacher?”
“Who?”
“The chef who taught ”
Min-joon opened his eyes wide and asked, “Your mom?”
“I heard you developed a new recipe, right?”
Downey asked Min-joon as if he was surprised Actually, he didn’t announce his new recipes for a long time after he came back to New York, not to mention before he left New York In fact, it was not because he didn’t develop any new recipes, but because he didn’t have any satisfactory ones
Downey knehat kind of recipe he was usually looking for Tofor the recipe hich he couldfor the type of dish that would iano dessert
“Yeah I’ to show it to Chef June now Would you like to helpMin-joon, Downey learned a lot while helping Min-joon cook right beside hi including his way ofthe finished dishes Of course, it would be i, but at least, he would be able to realize so
What Min-joon asked him first was to mix soy sauce, coriander stalks, and five spices to ripen After their tastes ellin the scallops that were cut into a disc shape properly Of course, it didn’tfor it Min-joon chopped garlic, onions, cilantro, Chinese leek, and shi+take soaked in water, and spinach, thencare of the scallops and seasoning After Min-joon added chopped shriar, and sesa skins that Min-joon an to slice the du skins thinly like noodles Actually, heshi+takeeels with them
He wrapped the scallops with the sliced du skins and put them on the oven pan All he had to do noas to bake them for about 2 minutes
What he did next was tosoy sauce, lime, sesae and onions with a little sauce he had used for aging the scallops the other day Now, this Coleslaould soon be laid on the bottorilled scallops and dus, he s with chicken broth, oyster sauce, and a boiled broth with chili oil to bring out the taste, he would put the all this, the s that Downey asked, unable to resist his curiosity, “Min-joon, haven’t you visited the local branches in A now, theyWhy do you want to bring out this kind of Chinese taste?”
“Well, that means my dishes haven’t shown any Chinese flavor at all until now As a matter of fact, I visited only cheap Chinese restaurants I thought I knew about Chinese cuisine, but I didn’t know anything at all”
Watching hiht Min-joon was really cool because as a chef specializing in western food, Min-joon didn’t have to go to the trouble of learning Chinese cooking He didn’t have to be greedy about Chinese dishes since he already established himself as a famed western chef here in America
‘Gosh, is that why he is peerless?’
