After returning from grocery shopping, Shi Yi busied herself in the kitchen.
She had never made Kung Pao Chicken before, but she had the recipe in her mind, so she followed the instructions and soon the fragrant Kung Pao Chicken was ready.
Shredded potatoes and stir-fried romaine lettuce with garlic are relatively simple to make; just stir-fry them together and you'll have a delicious dish.
The three dishes were fine except for the Kung Pao Chicken, which took a bit of time. The main thing is that the time spent was worth it!
The Kung Pao Chicken in the dish is golden in color, coated with a glistening red oil, and garnished with a few peanuts and bright green scallions. Just looking at it makes your mouth water.
Shi Yi picked up a piece of chicken to taste. It was slightly sweet at first, followed by the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns and the spiciness of chili peppers slowly melting on her tongue. Combined with the tender and smooth texture of the chicken, the aroma seemed to penetrate her entire body and permeate her whole being.
The side dishes, carrots and cucumbers, are crisp and sweet.
Try this shredded potato again. It's golden with a hint of char, and the surface is shiny. It looks delicious with rice. Shi Yi picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of salty and slightly spicy flavor.
Another very successful dish.
The last dish was stir-fried romaine lettuce with garlic.
The romaine lettuce still looks very green, with its leaves maintaining their natural curves, and its surface is coated with a thin layer of garlic sauce, making it shiny and glossy.
One bite, and the garlic flavor was rich but not overpowering. The saltiness and umami of the sauce spread quickly in her mouth. This bite reminded her of garlic eggplant, and she would like to try it again if she had the chance.
It's so delicious! Shi Yi thinks the garlic flavor is largely thanks to her for growing such delicious romaine lettuce. Next time, she'll plant some eggplants.
Cooking tutorials and such have to take a backseat; she deserves the most credit for this dish.
However, upgrading your cooking skills to 3 stars is quite different.
The food I made was indeed much tastier, and even the rice was more fragrant than before.
Could it be that she grasped the essence of water volume?
And these three dishes, although I've never made them before, needless to say, if I had made them with my previous cooking skills, I wouldn't have been able to make this Kung Pao Chicken look this good, let alone taste it.
It's probably either too salty or too bland in terms of taste.
It was a very sumptuous evening, and Shi Yi was very satisfied. This feeling made her seem to gradually fall in love with cooking.
She's already looking forward to cooking all sorts of fancy meals in the future.
That would be very fulfilling.

On the last day of selling hand-pulled pancakes, Shi Yi only needs to earn 740 points, so she doesn't need to get up so early.
She didn't leave home until 7:20, and randomly chose a subway station to start her business.
It's the last day, so I'll try not to be too tired.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came, so she gave up. She guessed that the subway station she chose was a bit remote. It seems she still has to post a video to call for help.
[Shi Yi: Good morning everyone! Guess where I am? Hurry up if you want the family-style pancakes! Today is the last day we're selling them. The first person to arrive can buy four! [Image]]
[Is there even a need to guess? The picture is the answer. Wait for me, I'm coming right away.]
[Boss Shi, are you slacking off? Setting up your stall at this hour? I'm already at work!]
[I'm so sad, I can't eat scallion pancakes anymore.]
【Ahhh, a family photo! I want to eat a family photo! I'm flying over right now!】
[Boss Shi is being capricious again, setting up his stall in another out-of-the-way location.]
[...]
People arrived shortly after the video was posted.
"Am I number one?" a girl suddenly appeared from around the corner and asked.
"What a coincidence, Boss Shi! I was just strolling around nearby when I didn't expect you to be setting up a stall here."
"Congratulations on being the first one. How many would you like to buy? The first person can buy 4, but there's a limit of 2 per person for subsequent purchases."
