"You'll know once you've done it," Yu Hui replied coldly.
He hated Wang Yang's mind-destroying behavior; if he hadn't been so stable, he might have really been affected.
Cooking is a delicate art; even the slightest error can drastically alter the taste, which is what distinguishes a chef from a top master.
The former is simply cooking, while the latter is creating an art form.
"Oh dear! You're taking way too long to make this." Wang Yang carefully wiped the plate of boiled beef he had made with a tissue, then looked at Chen Zhiming. "Come on, witness, try my boiled beef."
Seeing that Wang Yang had finished cooking, Chen Zhiming nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and took a piece of beef.
This piece of beef is of moderate thickness, making it perfect for boiled beef. After being marinated in a large pot, it is already very flavorful.
Fresh out of the oven, still steaming, it looked very hot.
Chen Zhiming blew on it and then put it in his mouth.
The beef was chewy and coated with a bit of chili pepper, making it both numbing and spicy.
Typical Sichuan cuisine!
It tastes absolutely delicious.
After finishing his meal, Chen Zhiming tried the bean sprouts. They were spicy and slightly crisp, and very fragrant.
"Is it delicious?" Wang Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Mmm, it's delicious!" Chen Zhiming nodded and gave a thumbs up.
He's not a professional food critic and doesn't use many words to describe it, but personally, he thinks Wang Yang's boiled beef is delicious.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang burst into laughter.
"I knew it! Not only am I efficient, but my dishes taste amazing. This is a skill I honed over three years."
"Some people can't compare!"
His meaning was quite clear: he was mocking Yu Hui for cooking slowly and for not tasting as good as him.
As the only audience member present, Chen Zhiming understood what was meant, and he subconsciously looked at Yu Hui.
Yu Hui had already prepared the boiled beef, sprinkling it with Sichuan peppercorn powder, Erjingtiao chili peppers, sesame seeds, and scallions and garlic. All that was left was to fry it in oil.
He heated the pan until it was dry, poured in the oil, tested the oil temperature with chopsticks, and didn't say a word the whole time, just staring at the oil in the pan.
A moment later, he turned off the stove and poured in the oil, all with such skill.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
The hot oil was poured in evenly, and the aroma of the spices was immediately released.
In a short time.
The entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of boiled beef, which smelled much better than when Wang Yang took it out of the pot.
"Hmph, all flash and no substance." Wang Yang crossed his arms, his tone full of disdain.
Yu Hui glanced coldly at Wang Yang and simply said, "Try it."
This statement was clearly directed at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang was also aware of Yu Hui's purpose.
He didn't do as instructed, but instead turned to look out the window.
Wang Yang did see the presentation of Yu Hui's boiled beef; it looked very appealing and had a rich aroma.
But he firmly believed that this guy's boiled beef was definitely not as good as his.
Appearance and aroma are secondary; good taste is the key!
Seeing this, Chen Zhiming quickly came over. "If he won't eat, I will!"
To avoid mixing flavors, he carefully used a new pair of chopsticks this time.
After all, he was a witness now, so he dared not be distracted.
He picked up a piece of beef, and even before eating it, just a glance was enough to tell that it was more springy and tender than the previous slices of meat.
Repeat the actions you just performed.
He blew on it a few times before putting it in his mouth.
The moment he took a bite, his pupils widened suddenly.
The beef is tender and flavorful, coated with all the spices, and infused with the broth.
In addition, you can taste the refreshing flavor of bean sprouts and green vegetables.
This is the real boiled beef!
Interlocking links.
All the aromas blend together to form a unified whole, and none of them can be omitted.
After just one taste of the beef slices, Chen Zhiming was completely captivated and fell in love with the dish.
He then tried the green vegetables and bean sprouts, which were much fresher and crisper than Wang Yang's, and also had the aroma of lard, making the taste even richer.
At this moment, Chen Zhiming didn't even need to think to determine which one tasted better.
When Chen Zhiming ate the boiled beef made by Wang Yang, he thought it was delicious. But after tasting Yu Hui's version, Wang Yang's paled in comparison.
I have absolutely no desire to eat it anymore.
Whether it's aesthetics, aroma, taste, or color, Yu Hui's product is a game-changer for him.
While he was cooking, he was still thinking about how good Yu Hui's cooking skills were.
Looking back now, he must have been a master!
Even a chef with three years of experience in Sichuan restaurants would be a disgrace in his presence.
"How is it?" Wang Yang was clearly flustered at this moment. He was also a chef, so how could he not know Yu Hui's strength?
Wang Yang felt that Yu Hui might be better than him in other aspects.
but.
He firmly believed that the boiled beef he had been practicing day after day, year after year, was definitely better than his.
He has that confidence.
"Mmm, it's so delicious!" Chen Zhiming nodded again and gave a thumbs up.
His words were exactly the same as when he commented on Wang Yang's boiled beef earlier, and even his actions were the same.
Wang Yang was dumbfounded when he saw this.
What exactly does this kid mean?
"So which one tastes better?" he pressed.
Chen Zhiming chose the dish made by Yu Hui without hesitation.
"This one tastes even better!"
This result was exactly what Yu Hui had expected.
While he was cooking, he not only cooked, but also kept an eye on Wang Yang's every move out of the corner of his eye.
For example: how much heat to use, how long to blanch the beef slices, and the approximate oil temperature before taking them out of the pot, etc.
