Time flew by, and it was soon evening.
Because I had a plan in mind, I prepared the ingredients in a very targeted way.
In addition to stuffed tofu, Ling Miao also decided to serve a new dish today.
There's nothing that a hearty meal of meat can't solve; if there is, then just have two bites.
Humans' love for meat is innate, an instinct etched into their genes, especially in the interstellar era where orcs are the dominant species.
Although most omnivorous orcs are accustomed to eating vegetarian food, carnivorous orcs are more accustomed to eating meat.
Moreover, according to Ling Miao's observation, the reason why omnivores are more accustomed to eating vegetables is because the cooking methods in the interstellar era were too rough, resulting in meat having a fishy and unpleasant smell.
However, carnivorous orcs do not have this concern. Although their highly developed sense of smell and taste often make it difficult for them to choose the meat in front of them,
However, in order to replenish more energy, meat is still their only choice besides nutrient solution.
As usual, Ling Miao turned on the live stream and neatly arranged the ingredients she was preparing.
Susan and Rella stood to one side; their faces were hidden in the live stream, only their figures and movements were visible.
[Haha, host, I'm here! Did you miss me?]
Good evening, what are you having for dinner today?
I saw meat! Meat! My beloved meat! We're having meat today!
It's been so long since I've seen so much plump and juicy meat.
Didn't you eat shrimp for lunch today?
That doesn't count. Only large chunks of meat count as eating meat; that little bit is barely enough to fill a tooth gap.
Cherte typed this line with some dissatisfaction. He was a mercenary who, after retiring from the military, chose thrilling adventures because he found life too mundane.
After becoming a mercenary, his daily life was just as challenging as he had imagined.
Coming to Ling Miao's live stream was an accident.
However, he unexpectedly liked the dishes made by the streamer.
There's just too little meat; the pieces are cut so small, they're not even enough to fill your teeth.
In his opinion, one should eat meat in large quantities.
The braised pork was pretty good last time. He licked his lips and watched the live stream intently.
The succulent pork belly beside me had already been cut into large, thick slices.
He could almost picture the satisfaction of biting into that huge piece of meat.
As for the minced meat in the other bowl, he selectively ignored it.
"The first dish is steamed pork with rice flour."
Ling Miao showed everyone the cut pieces of pork belly, saying, "Steamed pork belly must be made with high-quality pork belly, with a 6:4 ratio of fat to lean meat. This way, it will taste fragrant but not greasy, and fatty but not dry."
Like braised pork belly, steamed pork with rice flour is cut into large pieces, making it perfect for meat lovers.
Ling Miao could tell this from the cheers filling the screen.
Indeed, the temptation to eat meat in large quantities is something you can never resist.
Ling Miao only sighed for a second before calming down and carefully starting to season the ingredients.
Because it is a steamed dish, the seasoning of the whole dish needs to be prepared from the beginning, and no seasonings will be added later.
It can be said that the success or failure of the flavor is determined by the initial seasoning.
The marinated pork belly chunks had a rich, dark color, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the viewers in the live stream.
I can already imagine the feeling of the juices bursting out when I take that bite!
[Steamed pork with rice flour, so is this dish steamed?]
That goes without saying, but I witnessed a new way of cooking meat today.
Me too! I'd only ever seen meat baked, fried, or stir-fried before. This is the first time I've known that meat can be steamed, just like steamed buns!
"Won't it taste fishy? It seems very bland."
No, I saw the streamer add scallions, ginger, and garlic when marinating it.
Besides, I have the utmost respect for the streamer's cooking skills.
The live stream was filled with positive reviews, making Ling Miao blush.
Even if she's shameless, she can't withstand the praise from netizens.
She patted her cheeks to calm herself down and focused on coating each piece of marinated meat with rice flour.
What is this?
It looks like crushed rice.
Ling Miao nodded, then looked up at the other party's ID, which was a completely unfamiliar account.
"It's just crushed rice. Steamed pork with rice flour is a dish where you can't have just meat without rice flour."
Each piece of meat was evenly coated with rice flour, and the white-yellow rice was fried until it became dry and crispy.
"Now we can put it in the steamer to steam."
Susan and Rella had already boiled the water and prepared the steamer, just waiting for Ling Miao to put the meat pieces coated with rice flour on it.
The meat, coated in rice flour, was placed on a bed of diced potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The fire was lit, the water boiled, and wisps of white steam began to rise from the steamer.
The three of them stopped looking at it and started preparing another dish for the day.
"The next dish is a combination of tofu and meat."
Ling Miao shook the tofu she had prepared earlier and the minced meat that had been chopped and marinated in the bowl.
【Fried meat and tofu?】
That sounds amazing.
Why is it called "fried meat and tofu"? Not "minced meat and tofu"?
Seeing them lingering around the name with curiosity for a while, Ling Miao smiled and said, "It's stuffed tofu with meat."
"Simply put, it's about stuffing minced meat into tofu and then cooking it."
[That sounds amazing! Can you put other things in it too?]
Looking at the question, Ling Miao gave a thumbs up, "Smart. It's not just about tofu; it can be other things too, like stuffed shrimp with green peppers."
[Is it just stuffing shrimp paste into green peppers?]
"That's right!"
Ling Miao affirmed the other party's idea, "Recipes are ever-changing; it all depends on how the user innovates."
Susan, who was standing next to him, brightened up slightly when she heard this.
Ling Miao didn't notice her expression. With deft movements, she pried open the inside of the tofu, scooped out a piece, and filled it with minced meat.
The square-shaped tofu was stuffed full of minced meat, slightly bulging in the middle, looking plump and pleasing to the eye.
Pour oil into the pan, and first sear the side with the minced meat to set its shape. Cook over low heat, the clear oil sizzling as it cooks.
The aroma of perfectly cooked meat wafted through the air. Ling Miao used her chopsticks to flip each piece, the minced meat side already golden brown.
Fry the remaining sides slowly in turn until the soft tofu skin is golden brown and slightly dry, and can stand steadily in the pan.
"I used cabbage for stuffed tofu, but you can add or subtract other side dishes if you like."
The cabbage has a sweet flavor, and after absorbing the broth, every bite is filled with sweet juice and a rich meaty aroma, making it the perfect side dish.
The selected cabbage leaves were placed at the bottom of the casserole. Ling Miao then arranged the prepared tofu pieces neatly on top of the cabbage, poured in the prepared sauce, covered the pot, and simmered it over low heat.
"It doesn't need to take too long, just simmer for five minutes."
