After closing the lid of the rice cooker, Xiao Yi pressed the button to cook rice. In an instant, the indicator light of the rice cooker lit up, and a faint buzzing sound was emitted, and the work of steaming rice began.
As time went by, a faint aroma of rice gradually wafted out of the rice cooker. Xiao Yi stood aside, waiting patiently, his heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming delicious meal.
Xiao Yi sat at the table with a bowl of steaming hot rice in front of him. His eyes were full of anticipation, as if this bowl of rice was the most precious treasure in the world.
He took a deep breath first, and the rich aroma of rice instantly filled his nostrils, making him smile with satisfaction.
Xiao Yi picked up the chopsticks and gently stirred the rice. The plump rice grains collided with each other, emitting an attractive luster. He picked up a handful of rice and slowly put it into his mouth.
The moment the rice touched his tongue, he felt its soft and warm touch. As he chewed gently, the sweetness of the rice spread throughout his mouth, and each grain of rice seemed to dance on his tongue, releasing a light sweetness and rich rice aroma.
Xiao Yi savored it carefully. The slight resistance between his teeth made him feel the elasticity and toughness of the rice. He swallowed slowly, and a smooth feeling came from his throat. The warm rice seemed to turn into a warm current, nourishing his body.
Xiao Yi ate one mouthful after another, taking each bite very seriously, as if he were performing a sacred ritual. His face was filled with happiness. In this difficult time at the end of the world, such a bowl of delicious rice was the greatest comfort to him.
At the end of the meal, Xiao Yi put down his chopsticks and gently stroked his slightly bulging belly with his hand, his heart filled with gratitude and satisfaction for this simple yet extremely delicious meal of rice.
Xiao Yi stood in front of the stove in the kitchen, looking focused, preparing to cook delicious sweet and sour pork ribs.
He first took out the fresh ribs from the refrigerator, placed them on the chopping board, and used a knife to chop the ribs into small, evenly sized pieces. With each cut, a crisp sound could be heard, and the ribs were neatly separated.
Then, Xiao Yi put the ribs into the pot, added cold water, a few slices of ginger and a little cooking wine, and lit the fire to cook. As the water temperature rose, a layer of white foam gradually floated on the surface of the water. He carefully skimmed off the white foam with a spoon to make the ribs cleaner.
The cooked ribs are taken out, rinsed with clean water, drained and set aside.
Xiao Yi began to prepare the sweet and sour sauce. He took out a small bowl, poured in appropriate amounts of white sugar, aged vinegar, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce according to the proportion, then added a little salt and starch, and stirred evenly with chopsticks.
Pour oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, Xiao Yi carefully puts the ribs into the pan. The ribs sizzle in the oil. He keeps turning them over with a spatula, frying each side of the ribs until golden brown and the skin becomes slightly crispy.
After frying the ribs, Xiao Yi poured out the excess oil and then poured the prepared sweet and sour sauce into the pot. As soon as the sweet and sour sauce touched the hot pot, it immediately made a "crackling" sound and the fragrance wafted out.
He stir-fried the ribs quickly, coating each piece of ribs evenly with the sweet and sour sauce. The red sweet and sour sauce wrapped around the golden ribs, giving them an attractive color.
Then, Xiao Yi added an appropriate amount of water to cover the ribs, covered the pot, and simmered it slowly over low heat.
During the stewing process, the kitchen was filled with a rich sweet and sour aroma. Xiao Yi would lift the lid of the pot from time to time to check and gently push the ribs with a spatula to allow them to be heated more evenly.
The soup gradually became thicker, and Xiao Yi turned on the high heat again to reduce the soup, turning the ribs over and over again until each piece of ribs was covered with crystal clear thick soup, and finally sprinkled some white sesame seeds as garnish.
A delicious sweet and sour pork ribs was prepared with Xiao Yi's careful cooking.
When this plate of sweet and sour spareribs was served, the alluring color instantly caught everyone's attention. Each piece of sparerib shone with a bright red luster, like a carefully polished gem. The sugar sauce formed a crystal-clear coating on the surface of the spareribs, emitting an enchanting glow.
A close sniff reveals a rich aroma. First, the sourness of vinegar irritates the nose, refreshing the senses. Then, the sweet aroma of sugar permeates the air. The two blend perfectly, mixed with the meaty aroma of the ribs and the unique fragrance of spices such as green onions, ginger, and garlic, creating a mouth-watering complex aroma.
I couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in my mouth. The first thing I felt was the sweet and sticky taste of the syrup, which instantly blossomed on the tip of my tongue. Then, I bit into it with my teeth, and the skin of the ribs was crispy and made a "crunch" sound, while the meat inside was tender, juicy and springy.
The sweet and sour taste spreads quickly in the mouth, the sourness of the vinegar perfectly neutralizing the sweetness of the sugar, making the taste more refreshing and pleasant. With every bite, you can feel the tenderness of the ribs and the mellowness of the sweet and sour sauce blending together, and the unique taste is intoxicating.
After the sweet and sour taste, the ribs' meaty aroma is rich and pure, filling the mouth. The meat is firm but not dry, and the texture is full of juice, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
After savoring one piece, he couldn't help but pick up another, bit by bit, completely immersed in this delicious enjoyment. Even after the sweet and sour pork ribs on the plate were completely gone, he still felt that he hadn't had enough. Xiao Yi stood in the spacious kitchen, before him a large bowl of fresh eggs and a bucket full of golden cooking oil. He wore a clean apron, his eyes focused and determined, preparing to begin the massive project of making one hundred fried eggs.
Xiao Yi first carefully took out the eggs one by one and placed them neatly aside. He lit the stove, and the blue flames danced happily, heating the pot.
