Chapter 13: Sweet and Sour Ribs

(Half of the information related to cooking in this book comes from the information and half of it comes from the random editing, please do not try it)

Bai Renzong observed the steak in front of him. He used beef ribs and the plate was very delicately arranged. He used broccoli, tomato and other ingredients to make decorations. The black sauce pointed out three circles from large to small on the plate.

This method of placing the plate is obviously a professional chef in a Western restaurant.

To be honest, Bai Renzong didn't expect that a girl like Han Jiayi would have such skills. He thought she must be a spoiled lady.

"While it's hot," Han Jiayi urged, unable to wait to hear the praise of this dead troll.

Bai Renzong then cut a piece of beef rib, then dipped it in the sauce and ate it.

"Yeah, it's not bad." Bai Renzong nodded and said.

"..." Han Jiayi nodded with satisfaction and waited for the following.

But Bai Renzong didn't say the second sentence for a long time, so she tilted her head with a little questioning: "That's it all?"

"Didn't I say 'good'?" Bai Renzong looked at Han Jiayi curiously.

Han Jiayi suppressed her anger and smiled as gentle as possible, "What should I evaluate from the perspective of a UP master?"

"Work is work, life is life." Bai Renzong shook his head, "There is no need to be so harsh in life, just be delicious. It is meaningless to pick on family members, it will only hurt feelings."

Han Jiayi agreed with this, but she was not here to listen to chicken soup now.

"Then, please give an evaluation of this rib as a UP owner." Han Jiayi said with a smile on her lips.

Bai Renzong looked at Han Jiayi and sighed: "Then you agree first, don't lose your temper?"

"Yes!" Han Jiayi nodded, hugging her arms and waiting for Bai Renzong's evaluation: Death troll, see what else you can say!

"Have you tasted the ribs you made yourself?" Bai Renzong cut another piece of rib and ate it and asked.

"I'll try the sauce. As long as the ribs are fryed in place, there will be no problem." Han Jiayi replied.

Bai Renzong sighed: "Start with your sauce, your sauce is a sauce similar to sweet and sour, but the vinegar does not seem to be using rice vinegar, but some kind of fruit vinegar? I can taste the bitter tail."

Han Jiayi nodded: "It is used for red wine vinegar. There is no rice vinegar abroad, and it is all fruit vinegar."

"Is that true?" Bai Renzong asked with interest, "Where is the soy sauce?"

"Not even more." Han Jiayi rolled her eyes, "There is no vinegar and soy sauce in Western cuisine culture. Usually lemon is used instead of vinegar and then served with sauce. In fact, in terms of cooking techniques, our country is more exquisite, but it is just not in line with the taste of foreigners. Remember, foreign dictionaries do not have the word "fry". Only our country has the concept of stir-frying."

"Oh..." Bai Renzong was relished, and then he came to his senses, "Continue to talk about this beef rib. The sauce was sweet and sour. It felt like it was to show the taste of beef ribs in sweet and sour style, so that such a Western dish was displayed in the form of Chinese cuisine. But..."

Bai Renzong frowned and held his chin and pondered: "First of all, this sauce is a failure. It is better to drizzle it directly on the ribs for the sake of being nice and decorate it on the plate. But the most important thing is this rib. The slick texture and sweet and sour sauce really don't match. It is necessary to melt in the mouth to make it more suitable for the sticky style of sweet and sour."

Han Jiayi became more and more angry when she heard it from the side: She was indeed a troll, and she could find fault no matter how she did it!

"How to try another method?" Bai Renzong suggested to Han Jiayi, "stew the meat until it melts in your mouth, then quickly roast the outer skin of the meat crispy and provides a taste and fragrance. Finally, let the sauce be blended into the meat when placed. Show it in this way..."

"You know what a bluff!" Han Jiayi finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him angrily, "This style cannot be consistent with the international community! Foreigners like to eat the soft, glutinous and half-baked steak! If it melts in the mouth, what else can you eat? Isn't it enough to make it into stewed beef?"

"Then why do you want to use sweet and sour style to show this beef rib? Wouldn't it be better to use the style of foreigners directly?" Bai Renzong asked in confusion, "While promoting Chinese cuisine, while catering to foreign tastes, he gave up the essence of Chinese cuisine. Then the final dish must be inappropriate."

"This..." Han Jiayi was speechless and could not find any rebuttal words after thinking about it. She turned red at that time.

After a while, Han Jiayi returned to the kitchen in anger, took out a beef rib and started making it again.

"I will make a serving as you said, and then see which one is better! You can just talk about it on paper. I will put the result in front of you to see how you can refute it!" Han Jiayi said while doing it.

Soon, according to Bai Renzong's opinion, she adjusted the oven pattern and roasted it slowly over low heat, so that the roasted beef ribs would be softer, but the crust was crispy. Then she replaced the grape vinegar in the sauce with rice vinegar and drizzled it directly on the ribs instead of on the plate for decoration.

"Tsk, can this taste delicious?" Han Jiayi sneered, cut off a small piece and tasted it.

"..." After a while of silence, Han Jiayi punched the stove, covered her mouth and roared in disbelief: How could it be so delicious!?

The meat of the ribs was roasted to the outside and tender inside, and the meat almost melted in the mouth. After one bite, the rich gravy and the sauce were mixed together, making it tasted so good. The aroma of the beef and the taste of the sweet and sour sauce were perfectly blended, and it did not cover the aroma of the beef itself, which also activated the taste of the sweet and sour sauce. It was simply a perfect match!

"Why!?" Han Jiayi roared at the stove in anger: It was obvious that she had just simply adjusted the process!

Did that troll really make the decision?? Han Jiayi became more and more angry the more she thought about it. Then she stared at the steak in front of her, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth...

When she returned to the living room, she was already smiling and calm.

"I made another copy as you said, you can try it." Han Jiayi smiled slightly.

"This... isn't it?" Bai Renzong asked a little hesitantly, "Will you spend money?"

"It's okay, this is also considered researching new recipes." Han Jiayi said with a gentle smile.

Bai Renzong then tasted the new version of sweet and sour beef ribs and raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? It's delicious, this one is really delicious. The outer skin is very crispy, and there is a burnt aroma when you bite it. The meat inside is also full of juice, which almost melts in the mouth. The fat of the meat is mixed with the sweet and sour sauce, highlighting the aroma of the beef itself. I don't know what others are doing, but I like it anyway."

"Just like it." Han Jiayi smiled sweetly, "Eat them all?"

"Where are you?" Bai Renzong looked at Han Jiayi and asked.

"Don't worry about me, I'll do something else." Han Jiayi said with a smile, "Do you want to eat them all?"
