Chapter 445: Chapter 167: Boss, Aren’t You on a Health Kick Lately? (2)
Four or five minutes passed in a flash.
Su Chen, keeping a close eye on the time, swiftly pulled out the steamer tray. Ah Wu’s eyes flickered.
A moment ago, there was a layer of water on the rice slurry. How was it gone after being steamed so intensely over high heat?
What was the principle behind this?
’Logically, steaming ingredients shouldn’t cause moisture to disappear!’
Su Chen held a spatula in each hand and deftly scraped along the edges.
Then, with three quick scrapes, his movements incredibly deft, he instantly scraped up and rolled the contents of the large steamer tray.
He folded the sheet from the tray into thirds, sliced it into two long strips, then cut those into segments and plated them.
’Now to see just what kind of sauce Boss Su has prepared!’
Ah Wu had just perked up when he saw Su Chen take an oil bottle and drip two drops of vegetable oil on top! Then, he took a soy sauce bottle and poured a tiny amount over it before immediately placing the plate at the service window.
"For you, sir."
That’s it?
Ah Wu thought he must have seen wrong. "Boss Su, what did you just pour on it?"
"Oh, that." Su Chen gestured with the two bottles in his hand. "One is regular peanut oil, and the other is regular soy sauce."
"You didn’t make a special sauce?" Ah Wu was still in disbelief.
"Nope. Why would I need to?"
Ah Wu was dumbfounded.
Logically, even if you weren’t going to pan-fry a complex sauce with various ingredients, you should at least use some premium seasoned soy sauce to make a composite dressing. But this was just a little peanut oil and a bit of soy sauce?
He looked again at the rice noodle rolls on the plate.
It was completely different from any he had ever seen or eaten before.
A typical rice noodle roll had yellow and white flecks of egg, was mixed with various meats, and had a sauce slowly poured over it.
But the one Su Chen made was just a thin, folded sheet of noodle. You could see the granular bits of beef inside, and on the outside, there was only a tiny splash of soy sauce.
"This..."
"What are you spacing out for?" Feng Yaoyang saw Ah Wu standing dazed at the window for a while. "Let me try it first!"
President Feng carried the plate back to his seat himself.
"It looks a little different from a typical rice noodle roll, but let’s try it anyway!" Feng Yaoyang had absolute confidence in Su Chen.
After all, not even his own private chef, Ah Wu, could replicate that Golden Garlic Egg Fried Rice!
He broke a piece off with his chopsticks. Feng Yaoyang habitually lifted the plate to his mouth, ready to shovel it in.
In his experience, while rice noodle rolls had a chewy texture, they were usually difficult to pick up with chopsticks.
As he was about to shovel it in, Feng Yaoyang suddenly paused. The piece of rice noodle roll held by his chopsticks showed no sign of breaking apart!
"Huh?"
Feng Yaoyang put the plate down and tried lifting a piece directly with his chopsticks.
"Incredible!"
A rice noodle roll that could be easily broken apart with chopsticks, yet wouldn’t fall apart when you picked it up?
He stuffed it right into his mouth!
The moment it entered his mouth, before he even began to chew, he only tasted a faint hint of soy sauce.
The soy sauce flavor was very, very light, adding just a touch of saltiness. But when he started to chew...
"Whoa!"
With the first bite, an unprecedentedly delicate texture spread through his mouth, accompanied by an unparalleled savory aroma. This aroma was different from that of other dishes.
It was the unique umami flavor that comes from wheat!
It had the taste of nature itself!
And with every chew, the rich flavor of the beef began to build, a powerful aftertaste.
Each bite was an explosion of savory juices in his mouth.
"This is delicious!"
Feng Yaoyang stared at the rice noodle roll on his plate in disbelief. He polished it off in just three bites, leaving Ah Wu stunned at the side.
’Boss, I thought you brought me here for a tasting?’
Of course, he could only say this silently to himself.
Feng Yaoyang held up the empty plate. "Quick! Boss Su, give me another order of rice noodle rolls! The beef one!"
This was all within Su Chen’s expectations. "I also have fish fillet and pork rice noodle rolls. Don’t you want to try them?"
"No! I just want the beef!" Feng Yaoyang had just finished one portion. The beef rice noodle roll was so delicious, what could the others possibly compare?
Su Chen paid him no mind. "I think you should have one of each."
With the same fluid movements, the same effortless grace, three more orders of rice noodle rolls were ready in just five or six minutes.
Ah Wu also grabbed a pair of chopsticks and sat down, ready to try them.
"You can eat later." Like a child, Feng Yaoyang protectively gathered the three plates in front of himself.
CHOMP, CHOMP~
The texture was hard to describe.
If he had to describe it, Feng Yaoyang could only pinpoint one sensation: delicacy.
Yes, it was incredibly, exquisitely delicate!
With every bite, the delicate texture felt like it was massaging every single taste bud on his tongue, creating a feeling of immense comfort that relaxed his body and mind!
It was simply unbelievable.
No wonder even that world champion had called Boss Su’s technique godly. It truly was godly!
The beef rice noodle roll was gone.
Feng Yaoyang picked up a piece of the pork rice noodle roll. Unlike the beef, the pork version looked more translucent and crystalline.
This was due to the meat. The beef was almost all lean meat, whereas the pork was made from pork belly, diced into very fine granules.
Five minutes of steaming was just enough time to cook these tiny meat particles perfectly.
He took a bite.
"Mmph!"
Feng Yaoyang’s face froze completely.
Besides that same delicacy, this was a completely different texture.
The pork rice noodle roll wasn’t as chewy as the beef one; instead, it had a very fresh and tender mouthfeel.
He swallowed that bite and immediately went for a piece of the fish fillet rice noodle roll!
