Lu Rong began pouring a suitable amount of peanut oil into the pot. This peanut oil looked to be of very high quality; it sizzled as it was poured in, and the aroma began to fill the air.
Soon, the oil in the pan was almost hot, and Lu Rong poured in all the marinated saury he had just prepared.
The saury reacts violently with the hot oil.
Except for the first few seconds after putting the saury in the pot, to prevent it from burning, Lu Rong immediately turned the heat down to low and then used a spatula to turn the saury in the pot.
Pacific saury is actually very easy to cook, especially since Lu Rong has already cut them into pieces and removed the bones and internal organs.
Within two minutes of being placed in the pot, the saury, which was still raw, turned golden yellow in the blink of an eye, looking very appetizing.
Seeing that it was about time, Lu Rong began to add shredded ginger and dried chili peppers.
Then he poured in all the seasoning sauce that he had just prepared, which contained about 20 ingredients.
Quickly toss the ladle with the spatula, and as the broth slowly seeps into the pot, the saury begins to turn golden yellow, releasing an irresistible aroma.
Because Lu Rong not only had to prepare food for the judges, but also for their own lunch, his portion was much larger than that of the other contestants.
However, his action made the other contestants laugh.
As we all know, generally speaking, the larger the quantity of food cooked, the more difficult it is to control the flavor. This is why the food in places like canteens that need to serve large quantities of food usually doesn't taste very good.
Of course, Lu Rong's Kyoto University cafeteria is an exception.
Because the portion size is large, it becomes difficult to control the taste.
In particular, the viewers in the live broadcast room felt that Lu Rong was courting death by doing this.
"What's going on? Lu Rong actually cooked a whole pot of it. At this rate, the saury will easily be ruined."
"Oh no, oh no, has Lu Rong lost his mind today? How big are these five judges' bellies? You cooked such a big pot, they can't finish it."
"The five judges aren't just eating the food from their group; there are 12 other contestants, which means there are 12 more dishes. How could they possibly eat that many?"
"To be honest, I'm starting to doubt whether Lu Rong is actually cooking for the judges. The portions are completely wrong."
"Actually, in terms of the competition, just a small dish is enough."
"But judging from his expression, it seems like he really wants to eat it himself."
"It wasn't just Lu Rong himself, but mainly the team members around him, who were staring at him intently, practically drooling."
"I was quite optimistic about Lu Rong just now, but now it seems a bit risky. How good can it taste if they cook such a big pot?"
"The other contestants were smarter; they all stir-fried a small dish. This way, it's easier for the food to cook and also makes it much easier to control the flavor."
"Never mind, I won't say anything more. We'll see how things go. Anyway, I still support Lu Rong."
"The portion is huge, but it looks delicious. Even through the screen, my mouth is watering."
"That's true. Judging from the appearance, it should smell delicious. These saury are all pan-fried until golden brown, and they look so appetizing."
Meanwhile, as Lu Rong finally sprinkled on some chopped scallions, the pan-fried spicy saury was officially ready to serve...
