This dish can be said to be the beginning of Xu Milu's culinary journey. She suddenly remembered to make this dish today, and she doesn't know if it was fate.

While the meat was being cooked in a jar, Xu Milu took a moment to check on the progress of the other contestants. Jack Brown was probably planning to make Japanese-style vegetable steak; he was mincing the beef into a paste and adding starch and chopped vegetables.

Andrei probably chose to make grilled filet mignon. He also took the mushrooms and tomatoes earlier, so he's probably going to make tomato cream mushroom sauce.

Sayuri Mishima prepared grilled tuna. Unlike the raw sashimi, she used a blowtorch to grill the tuna slices instantly, and beautiful grill marks immediately appeared on the tuna skin under the blue flame.

Guan Wenyan, like her, chose a dish that required more time and effort—crispy roast duck. This dish sounds simple, but it really tests the chef's skills. Not only do you have to marinate the duck with seasonings to remove the fishy smell, but you also have to pour hot oil over the duck again and again to ensure that it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Bai Bao'er's approach was quite innovative. She actually thought of using the reaction between calcium lactate and sodium alginate to turn the cooked fish lip soup into little "pop beads". Then she decorated them on the crispy fish meat. This way, when you bite into the pop beads, the rich and succulent yellow lip fish soup will burst in your mouth instantly.

I have some new dishes I want to make.

Xu Milu couldn't wait to end the competition and rush back to the kitchen to try out the dishes.

...

Ninety minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time to serve the food. Jack Brown and Mishima Sayuri were still plating the dishes, but the first to finish were Guan Wenyan and Bai Baoer.

"So, Junior Sister Xu, do you need any help?"

When Guan Wenyan passed by, he gestured with his chin at her, clearly reverting to his attitude from when they first met. Xu Milu didn't dislike him as much anymore and calmly told Li Ning to start serving the dishes.

"No need, I'm all set."

She picked up a kitchen knife and tapped it lightly on the wine jar with the back of the knife. She then opened the foil covering the jar along the rim, and instantly, an extremely strong aroma wafted out of the jar!
