I'm the Culinary God
Chapter 1055 - 434: Foodies Can Accept Grievances, But You Can’t Take My Pot Roasted Elbow!
After chewing, her eyes lit up:
"Wow, it’s really delicious, it kind of gives the feeling of eating tuna."
The Wagyu fat is distributed evenly, with a rich taste. To be honest, it does resemble tuna sashimi a bit; it’s almost like ice cream when it enters your mouth.
Back upstairs again, Lin Xu was just preparing to think about how to process the leftover beef in the basin, only to find Zhuang Yizhou and the others each holding a plate and eating heartily.
"Whoa, I was worried whether to wrap the leftover beef into Wagyu dumplings or not. Now it seems like I don’t have to worry anymore."
Wei Qian shoveled all the Wagyu from the plate into his mouth before saying:
"It’s all Zhu Yong’s fault; he always smacks his lips when eating, annoying us. We also wanted to taste it, and then... we tasted too much."
Today, there’s still one-third of the beef that Lao Huang brought in, Lin Xu put it in the freezer, planning to make it again when Shen Guofu arrived.
He checked the time, contacted Qi Siming and Zeng Xiaoqi, confirmed that filming could take place in the morning, then drove to the TV station to shoot a video on making Autumn Pear Paste.
Zeng Xiaoqi actually wanted to taste Beef Tartare as well, but the TV station couldn’t broadcast videos of eating raw meat, otherwise, there might be questions about leading the public astray.
So she could only watch Shu Yun show off in the group.
The making of Autumn Pear Paste takes too long.
So during this time, Lin Xu recorded the method of making Sweet Skin Duck at the station. Since it’s a daily broadcast now, time must be utilized well.
While braising the duck, Lin Xu even made a simple yet pretty tasty Spicy Marinated Lamb Blood.
The purchased lamb blood is sliced thinly, blanched in boiling water with salt for two minutes, which removes the gamy smell of the lamb blood and makes the texture firmer and smoother.
Then scooped out and placed in a bowl lined with cilantro segments and cucumber shreds.
Drizzle with salt, aromatic vinegar, and Dark Soy Sauce, add a little white sugar, top with minced garlic, then add some dried chili segments and a sprinkle of Sichuan peppercorns.
Once the oil is hot, pour it over the ingredients and cover the bowl to let the spicy aroma infuse into the lamb blood.
Once time’s up, uncover, mix evenly, and it’s ready to eat.
Zeng Xiaoqi didn’t expect lamb blood could be eaten this way. As the host, she proudly tasted it on everyone’s behalf:
"Delicious, it’s spicy and numb, and the texture is very smooth. I really didn’t expect lamb blood to taste this good. It’s really opened my eyes today."
After eating a piece, she addressed the camera:
"As winter approaches, it’s important to clean the lungs properly. Chinese cuisine generally believes that consuming blood can clear the lungs and effectively replenish iron, so everyone can try making this... Well, this episode of ’Food Flavor Life’ ends here, thank you for watching, and thanks to Lin Ji’s Food’s boss Lin for joining our filming crew, see you next time."
After wrapping up, the show’s advisor Geng Lishan immediately came over, picked up a piece of lamb blood with chopsticks, tasted it, and then gave Lin Xu a thumbs up: 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Lin, my friend, the Spicy Marinated Lamb Blood you made is really quite good. It’s a pity there’s no wine, or else I’d definitely want to have a drink with you."
Lin Xu said:
"Drinking is fine, but please don’t gift me any plaques."
The previous World’s First Chicken and The World’s First Duck were embarrassing, but it was evident it was a little joke from a calligrapher friend.
If he turns around and writes a World’s First Blood, that would really cause a stir.
The term "first blood" has too many implications, so this old mischievous guy must be prevented from writing it.
Geng Lishan waved his hand:
"Relax, I know my limits. The duck hasn’t finished braising yet, right? How about we shoot another dish?"
Lin Xu thought it was feasible, but the time was too short; dishes like steamed, stewed, or boiled couldn’t be made, only fried or stir-fried ones.
And for frying and stir-frying...
He looked at the ingredients Lao Huang brought today, selected a few small yellow croakers, and made Dry-Fried Small Yellow Croaker.
Once this dish was recorded, the duck was already braised.
The show continued shooting Sweet Skin Duck.
Once the Sweet Skin Duck was ready, the Autumn Pear Paste was also finished boiling. After filtering out the residue, the pear juice was boiled.
Today, over ten pounds of snow pears were used.
Zeng Xiaoqi initially thought a few pounds would be boiled, but ultimately found out there were only two glass jars of Autumn Pear Paste, one of which was not even full, leaving her a bit disappointed.
"Yan bought three thousand pounds of snow pears, they should arrive soon. When that happens, making Autumn Pear Paste will be no problem at all."
Zeng Xiaoqi uses her voice quite a bit but can’t control her spicy food intake, so she’s very fond of Autumn Pear Paste. With this promise, she felt relieved.
She scooped a spoonful into her mouth to taste, her eyes widened:
"Eating it by the spoonful feels so good! It’s sweet and satisfying, it feels..."
Just as she started, Lin Xu interrupted:
"This spoonful has more calories than a bowl of rice."
Zeng Xiaoqi: "..."
Then I better not eat it.
Since everyone’s secretly dieting, even though I might not lose weight, I can’t afford to gain more either.
After filming Autumn Pear Paste, mealtime had already passed.
Luckily, the cafeteria had plenty of leftovers; everyone took the Sweet Skin Duck there, along with the dishes made earlier, and enjoyed a delightful lunch.
After lunch, Qi Siming donned a helmet, rode off on his Ducati from the TV station.
Lin Xu was just about to drive away when he suddenly received a call from Shen Jiayue:
"Xu Bao, when are you coming back? Yan Bao just sent me a video of eating fried chicken, it’s so tempting. I want some fried chicken too."
"Didn’t Yan go to the shop today?"
"Nope, she went to record an exploration show, bought fried chicken near Front Gate, it was crispy and crunchy; just hearing about it makes me crave it."
