Garnished with orange-red sauce and accompanied by tender green dry-fried green beans.
The rich fish aroma and complementary colors of the river shrimp and spicy fish bloomed in front of Li Xiao.
"This dish is a work of art in both taste and color."
A barrage slid across the live broadcast room that made Li Xiao laugh a little:
"I feel like this is the amount that a normal person should eat at home."
"Actually, you may be a little confused. In a high-end restaurant like this, there are so many dishes in the set menu, and certainly not every dish will be generous."
"It's okay if you finish eating, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if some diners couldn't finish eating in the middle of the meal?"
"So they would rather the diners continue to order more dishes when they are not full, instead of measuring by basins like those in the north."
As he said that, the steaming heat of the river shrimp in front of him when it was first served subsided a little.
"It seems that it is suitable for eating now. Let's try the taste of this dish first."
He took out a mouthful with a spoon and gently sniffed it at the tip of his nose. Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
"To be honest, it really deserves to be called "fish flavor". When I opened the lid of this dish in front of me, this small private room was filled with the smell of fish."
Li Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as the clear-cut river shrimp entered his mouth.
"The delicious river shrimp has been processed without a trace of shrimp line. After entering the mouth, only the sweetness of the river shrimp is left."
"The slightly sour taste after entering the mouth makes people appetite, and then there is the fish flavor extracted by sesame sesame oil."
"The spicy fish wrapped in delicious river shrimps, the spicy flavor in the rich fish aroma stimulates the taste buds, the saltiness is suitable, and it is delicious!"
"After swallowing this mouthful of shrimp, you can feel a slight sweetness in your mouth, which makes you feel like you haven't finished eating enough."
“I give this dish 90 points!”
Li Xiao scooped out a spoonful and placed the plump-colored river shrimp in front of the camera so that the audience could see it more clearly.
Because of Li Xiao’s move, a lot of barrages poured out in the live broadcast room:
"Is it true that this anchor doesn't receive any money? That's just ridiculous!"
"Take it, take it! Don't tempt me again!"
"Stop talking, my clothes have already been soaked with saliva."
"The African Emirates no longer expects to win the lottery. He has already made a reservation for this restaurant. He will come there in a few days over the weekend to experience the happiness of being an anchor."
"I envy the 996 people who are so miserable upstairs that they don't even have time to go back and forth."
"The anchor is about to ask a question. I'm still waiting to answer the question and win the prize!"
There were loud shouts in the live broadcast room, and Li Xiao, who gave the audience a zoomed-in look at the shrimps, returned the spoonful of shrimps to his mouth.
He was able to appreciate how delicious it is that people say in legend is "so delicious that you lick your plate".
Thanks to the baptism of so many delicious food, Li Xiao will not do anything too rude now.
But from his never-stop movements, it can be seen that the fish-flavored Xichang River shrimp dish is very much in line with Li Xiao's taste.
Perhaps he didn't expect that Li Xiao liked the smell of fish so much that he ate it so quickly. The lady who came to collect the dishes apologetically asked Li Xiao to wait a little longer while the kitchen was still processing the abalone.
Li Xiao nodded and motioned for the young lady to step back, taking advantage of this gap to prepare the lottery questions.
"In this case, let's prepare the question to draw the lucky winner first."
The unforgettable smell of fish lingered in his mouth, and Li Xiao couldn't help but lick his lips.
"First question, what are the four layers in the smoked pepper salt glutinous rice camphor tea duck I tasted just now?"
Before the viewers in the live broadcast room could reply, the sound of a young lady serving food came from the door.
"Then let's ask the next questions later."
Five-spice abalone that combines the flavors of five spices and roasted pepper.
Three slices of light yellow plump abalone meat of almost the same size are stacked on top of each other, with roasted pepper sauce next to them.
Five spices are the well-known five main spices such as fennel, peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, and cloves. It is a seasoning method that removes the fishy smell of food and makes the food smell fresh and tangy.
Needless to say, the so-called chili sauce is made by washing fresh chili peppers and grilling them on charcoal fire until they look like tiger skin. Then they mince them and add minced garlic, salt, MSG, chicken essence, sugar, light soy sauce, and soy sauce.
Stir in oil and chili oil.
Compared with doubanjiang, chili sauce, etc., which are widely spread in the Han Dynasty, roasted pepper sauce is less common in other areas, and only in places like Chengdu can you eat the purest roasted pepper sauce.
Li Xiao picked up a piece of abalone with chopsticks, and saw that the plump abalone was as soft as tofu between the chopsticks, which made Li Xiao couldn't help laughing.
“I don’t know how this abalone can make it look so delicate.”
Following his words, the abalone meat on the chopsticks bounced softly with his movements.
The moment it was put into his mouth, Li Xiao was impressed by the tender yet chewy texture of abalone.
"This abalone meat must have been prepared with five spices in advance. Not only does it not have the fishy smell that usually occurs when eating abalone, but it also extracts the freshness of the abalone itself."
Just eating this abalone was such a surprise. Li Xiao chewed the abalone in his mouth and swallowed it carefully. He used chopsticks to spread some of the roasted pepper sauce onto another piece of abalone meat, then picked it up and put it in his mouth.
"The rich pepper flavor in this roasted pepper sauce and the rich five-flavor flavor in the abalone meat..."
Li Xiao commented while eating, but hesitated a little after eating.
"The two taste more delicious than eating abalone alone, but the roasted pepper sauce... seems to be a little overcooked."
Swallowing the abalone in his mouth with some pity, Li Xiao continued: "Although this shortcoming does not hide the good, if you add a little bit of mustard, it should be able to make up for it a lot."
“Overall, this dish tastes very good, 85 points!”
"If it wasn't a bit overheated, it would be okay to have a higher score."
Studio:
"I want to steal the chef of this shop! If you don't tell me what it is, this abalone is just a fake tofu!"
“I understand, then place an order for Mapo Tofu as a meal replacement.”
"I seem to see this person twisting her waist shyly between the anchor's chopsticks."
"Hahaha, you are so magical upstairs!"
"No, I went back and took another look: weird. Another look: so weird."
"You guys are still innocent upstairs!"
Li Xiao at the table was a little unsatisfied. He asked the young lady waiting next to him if he could give some mustard sauce. After receiving the consent, he dropped a drop of mustard sauce into the roasted pepper sauce.
Stir a few times with chopsticks to ensure that the mustard and roasted pepper sauce are evenly mixed, then spread it on the abalone meat and taste it again. The taste this time made Li Xiao nod frequently.
"This method seems feasible." I just don't know if the chef who made this dish can adopt this method.
