Chapter 31: Boiled Cabbage!

The so-called ‘boiling water’ was actually using the purest chicken soup.

This soup needed to be brewed with precious ingredients such as an old hen, an old duck, pork trotters, pork ribs, dried scallop for at least four hours and then specially handled.

The chicken soup that was finally brewed was like clear water, but it also had a rich taste that refreshed one’s taste buds.

Only by watering the cabbage with such soup until it was cooked could it be called [Boiled Cabbage].

The final product looked like it was made of clear soup without any oil, but in reality, it was tender and beautiful, surpassing all the dishes in the world.

Xu Le did not had time to practice much in the system space.

This was also the first time Xu Le was making this dish in real life.

Hence, he could not help but feel nervous.

Half a pig’s front trotter, half a pig’s back trotter, a black farm chicken, an old duck, and a small piece of golden ham.

All the ingredients were washed clean.

The internal organs of the poultry were removed and cut in half.

He took out all the chicken breast meat for other use.

The golden ham was soaked in water and its outer skin was peeled off.

The organizers of the competition had already provided the best ingredients for all the contestants.

The piece of golden ham in his hand had already been processed for 10 years. The meat was firm, fragrant and fresh. It was not at all inferior to the Iberian 5J ham in Italy.

He placed all the ingredients into the pot and blanched them. After the water boiled, he removed the foam.

After blanching, all the raw materials were fished out and washed again.

Next was to cook the ‘boiling water’.

He took out a large pot that was more than half a meter tall and placed all the ingredients into it. Then, he put in some chopped green onions and ginger slices. He poured 15 liters of clear water into it and began to boil it.

This was another time-consuming job.

Because these ingredients needed to be boiled in the pot for three hours before they could be taken out for the next step.

…

“What proficient moves!”

Seeing Xu Le handle the chicken, duck, and pig trotters skillfully, the chefs at the judging panel were all surprised.

Most importantly, Xu Le actually knew to cook these two dishes!

Both [Boiled Cabbage] and [Pagoda Meat] were extremely difficult dishes.

Furthermore, the recipes for these two dishes were also secret recipes of various restaurants. They would rarely reveal them to outsiders.

Some chefs who had been in the industry for four or five years were still not skilled enough. Even if they obtained the recipes of these dishes, they would not be able to produce the desired effect.

As an eight-year-old child, Xu Le was actually able to operate in an orderly manner within the stipulated time. This was already extremely shocking.
