Ye Xiruo picked up a piece of potato; it was cooked until very soft, coated in sauce, just like she remembered. The beef had also absorbed the broth, making it very chewy and flavorful. Her skills hadn't declined.
As always, there are three large plates full of food. A group of people rush over, each taking two or three bites, only to find, tragically, that it's all gone.
It's okay, even if the vegetables and meat are gone, there's still broth. In the end, they even devoured the broth.
Seeing how popular her cooking was, Ye Xiruo was very excited; her teammates were really awesome.
A certain gentleman on the wall wiped his drool. The dishes his apprentice had made looked incredibly tempting; he had never smelled anything like them in his life. These little rascals were too fast! Before he could even react and grab them, the plates were already empty.
Doesn't anyone have any sympathy for him, an old man?
Seeing their reactions, Ye Xiruo knew that she probably wouldn't get any results today. In the eyes of these wolves, all the dishes were delicious.
As for why it's so delicious, or what makes it so good, everyone would probably just say, "I can't really explain it, it's just delicious."
"Brother Xiuqi, cut a few plates of shredded potatoes and make a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes."
An invisible sword aura appeared in Xiu Qiyu's hand, and he threw several potatoes into the air, their peels falling off. By the time they landed on the cutting board, they were already peeled and clean potatoes.
With sword energy crisscrossing, Xiu Qiyu's hands moved so fast that only afterimages could be seen. In just three minutes, the even and delicate potato shreds were already cut.
Then, Xiu Qiyu produced a ball of clear water in his hand and put it directly into the basin. He also soaked the shredded potatoes in the water to remove excess starch.
Ye Xiruo nodded. Xiu Qi's cooking skills were really not flattering, but his ability to chop vegetables and mince meat was impeccable.
To prepare the stir-fry, you'll need scallions, ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. Sauté them in oil until fragrant, then add shredded potatoes. Heat over high heat, stirring quickly to ensure even heating. After two or three minutes, add vinegar, salt, and sugar, continue stir-frying, and then remove from heat.
This is a truly classic vegetarian dish, and it was naturally very popular with everyone.
Ye Xiruo looked at the six chefs who had been circling around her for a while: "Do you have any tips or experiences? You can try them out. I bought a lot of vegetables today."
"Okay." Ye Xiruo estimated that these people were definitely top-tier in Mo City, without a doubt. The only thing to do now was to teach them how to retain the spiritual energy in the ingredients. Otherwise, even the most delicious dishes would be a pile of unabsorbable impurities in the eyes of cultivators.
"Release your spiritual power, concentrate on controlling it, and wrap it around the surface of the ingredients to prevent the spiritual energy from dissipating."
"Little Leaf, are you tired? Sit down and rest for a while."
"I'm not tired. We need to finalize the menu quickly so we can start preparing early." Otherwise, we'll starve to death sooner or later.
If Ye Xi were to make two more of her favorite dishes, one would be eggplant with minced meat, and the other would be candied sweet potato.
Neither dish required complicated preparation. His favorites were candied sweet potatoes, candied bananas, candied pineapple, and candied apples. Seventh Brother Xiu also seemed to enjoy sweet treats. Eldest Brother, on the other hand, loved all delicious food.
"Brother Xiuqi, cut the eggplant into strips about the thickness of a finger, the sweet potato into chunks, the banana into slices, the apple into chunks, and the pineapple... we don't have any pineapple."
"good."
Over here, a chef stir-fried a plate of chives and eggs. The taste was alright, but the eggs were a bit overcooked, and the chives weren't fresh enough, affecting both the appearance and the taste. However, this level of skill was already above that of Mo Cheng's top chefs.
However, the level of spiritual energy preservation is only 20%, which is truly the level of a spiritual chef apprentice.
Ye Xiruo patted him on the shoulder: "The task is arduous and the road ahead is long. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you very much, Master Ye. I will definitely work hard."
Xiu Qiyu had already completed the preparations. Ye Xiruo poured half a pot of oil into the pot. After the oil was heated to 70%, she first put the eggplant in and fried it until both sides were golden brown. Then she took it out and drained the oil.
Next, fry the sweet potatoes, which take the longest to cook, until golden brown. Remove them and drain the oil. Then fry the apples and bananas. Once they are fried, set them aside and pour out the remaining oil, leaving a little in the pan for later use.
Let's make the minced meat and eggplant first. Sauté scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers until fragrant, then add the fried eggplant, a little water, and stir-fry. Add some fermented bean paste she bought from Earth, salt, and continue stir-frying. Finally, add some minced garlic, stir-fry, and it's ready to serve.
Next, we'll make a bunch of candied sweet potatoes. Clean the pan thoroughly, add oil, pour in honey, and stir-fry until it becomes a caramel-colored syrup. Then add the fried sweet potatoes and stir-fry until each piece is coated with the syrup. Then, remove from the pan.
Candied apples and candied bananas are made in the same way.
"My little apprentice's skills are truly superb, and his mastery of spiritual power is also unparalleled. This is the apprentice he has been waiting for for half his life." Xue Junhan, sitting on the wall, was very excited and couldn't wait to go down and take Ye Xiruo as his disciple.
"Brother Xiu Qi, you should try it."
"Delicious." She and Xiu Qiyu both prefer sweet flavors, so they both like various kinds of candied meat, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, sweet and sour pork, shrimp in tomato sauce, and sweet and sour pork.
"Junior sister, you've made something delicious, how could you forget me?"
Ye Xiruo handed over a plate of candied apples: "Take these and share them."
Hua Rong immediately jumped out: "What? Little Yezi, you can't be biased, I want some too." Another plate of candied bananas was served.
Ye Xiruo gave the remaining candied sweet potatoes directly to Xiu Qiyu: "Brother Xiu Qi, this is a treat for you."
Since we're just starting out, we don't need to offer such complicated dishes, like whole roasted lamb, eight-treasure duck, or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Mo Cheng's food culture is so underdeveloped; one bite won't make a big fat person. Let's take it slow.
All six chefs brought out their best and most secret dishes.
The eight-treasure porridge I made was sweet but not cloying, soft and delicious, with a different surprise in every bite. It retained 30% of its essence, which is quite good for a first attempt.
"Very good. If we retain 50% of the spiritual energy, it can be used as a signboard."
"Really? Master Ye." Her face lit up with excitement.
"Of course it's true."
Look at this crab roe pearl bun. It's small, exquisite, and cute. You can eat it in one bite, and the incredibly delicious soup bursts in your mouth. The skill level is definitely at the master chef level. It also retains 40% of the spiritual energy, which is very good. It has the potential to become a master chef.
Ye Xiruo did not intend to release the medicinal cuisine recipes now, firstly because their expertise was insufficient, and secondly because the people of Mo City needed time to adapt.
