Chapter 13 Sweet and Sour Ribs
(Half of the cooking-related information in this book comes from materials and half from making up, please do not try)
Bai Renzong took a look at the steak in front of him. He used beef ribs, and the plate was exquisitely decorated with broccoli, tomato and other materials. The black sauce marked three sizes from large to small on the plate. round.

This way of arranging the plate looks like a professional chef in a western restaurant.

To be honest, Bai Renzong didn't expect a girl like Han Jiayi to have such skills, he thought she must be a pampered young lady.

"While it's hot." Han Jiayi urged, already impatient to hear the praise from this dead troll.

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

"Well, not bad." Bai Renzong nodded and said.

"..." Han Jiayi nodded in satisfaction, waiting for the next sentence.

But Bai Renzong didn't say another word for a long time, so she tilted her head, with a hint of questioning: "Is it over?"

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

Han Jiayi suppressed her anger, and smiled as gently as possible: "How about evaluating 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 on everything in life, as long as it is delicious. There is no point in criticizing family members, it will only hurt feelings."

Han Jiayi agreed with these words, but she didn't come to listen to chicken soup right now.

"Then, as a UP owner, please comment on this rib." Han Jiayi pursed her lips and said with a smile.

Bai Renzong looked at Han Jiayi, then sighed: "Then let's talk about it first, so you don't lose your temper?"

"Yeah!" Han Jiayi nodded, and waited for Bai Renzong's comment with her arms folded: "Idiot, let's see what else you can say!"
"Have you ever tasted the ribs you made?" Bai Renzong asked after eating another rib.

"I just tasted the sauce and it's fine. As long as the ribs are cooked properly, it's fine." Han Jiayi replied.

Bai Renzong sighed: "Let's start with your sauce. Your sauce is a kind of sauce similar to sweet and sour, but it seems that the vinegar is not rice vinegar, but some kind of fruit vinegar, right? A tail that can taste a bit bitter."

Han Jiayi nodded, "It's red wine vinegar. There's no rice vinegar in foreign countries, it's all fruit vinegar."

"Is that so?" Bai Renzong asked with great interest, "What about the soy sauce?"

"Not much more." Han Jiayi rolled her eyes, "Vinegar and soy sauce do not exist in Western food culture, usually lemon is used instead of vinegar, and then served with sauce. In fact, our country is more exquisite in terms of cooking techniques, but It just doesn’t suit the taste of foreigners. Remember, the word ‘stir-fry’ is not found in foreign dictionaries, and the concept of stir-fry is only available in our country.”

"Oh..." Bai Renzong heard it with gusto, and then he came back to his senses, "Go ahead and talk about this beef rib, I can taste the sauce in a sweet and sour style, it feels like it wants to show the beef ribs in a sweet and sour style." The taste of ribs, so as to present such a Western food in the form of Chinese cuisine. But..."

Bai Renzong frowned, resting his chin and muttering: "First of all, this sauce is a failure. It is better to pour it directly on the ribs in order to decorate it on the plate. But the most important thing is the ribs. If it doesn’t match, it’s more suitable for the viscous style of sweet and sour if it melts in the mouth.”

The more Han Jiayi listened to the side, the more angry she became: He really is a dead troll, no matter what he does, he can find faults!
"How about trying another method?" Bai Renzong suggested to Han Jiayi, "Stew the meat until it melts in your mouth, then quickly roast the skin of the meat over high heat to give it a crispy texture and aroma, and let the sauce blend into it when you put it on the plate Inside the meat. To show it in such a way..."

"You know what!" Han Jiayi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted him angrily, "This style can't be in line with international standards! Foreigners like to eat that kind of soft, chewy, under-cooked steak! If you stew it It melts in your mouth, so what’s the point of eating steak? Wouldn’t it be fine to just make it into beef stew?”

"Then why do you want to present this beef ribs in a sweet and sour style? Wouldn't it be better to just use the style of foreigners?" Bai Renzong asked puzzledly, "While promoting Chinese cuisine, we also have to cater to foreign countries. If you give up the essence of Chinese cuisine because of the taste, then the final dish must be nondescript.”

"This..." Han Jiayi was at a loss for words, and she couldn't find a rebuttal after much thought, so she blushed at that moment.

After a while, Han Jiayi returned to the kitchen angrily, took out a beef rib and started cooking again.

"I'll make a portion for you as you said, and see which one tastes better! You can just talk on paper, and I'll put the result in front of you, and see how you can refute it!" Han Jiayi said Do it while thinking about it.

Soon, according to Bai Renzong's advice, she adjusted the oven mode and roasted it slowly on a low heat, so that the roasted beef ribs would be softer but crispy on the outside, and then replaced the grape vinegar in the sauce Made into rice vinegar, drizzled directly over the ribs rather than serving as a garnish on the plate.

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

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

The meat of the ribs is roasted so that the outside is charred and the inside is tender, the meat almost melts in the mouth, the rich gravy and sauce are mixed together, it is delicious, and the aroma of the beef and the taste of the sweet and sour sauce are perfectly reconciled, there is no Overwhelming the aroma of the beef itself, and stimulating the taste of the sweet and sour sauce, it is simply a masterpiece!

"Why!?" Han Jiayi slammed the stove angrily and roared: It was obviously just a simple adjustment of the process!

Did that troll really hit the mark? ?The more Han Jiayi thought about it, the angrier she became, then staring at the steak in front of her, 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 one according to the method you said, you can try it." Han Jiayi smiled slightly.

"This...isn't it good?" Bai Renzong asked hesitantly, "Will it cost you money?"

"It's okay, this can be regarded as researching new recipes." Han Jiayi said with a gentle smile.

Bai Renzong tried this new version of sweet and sour beef ribs, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Delicious, this is really delicious. The outer skin is grilled very crispy, and there is a burnt aroma when you bite into it. There is also a lot of meat inside." The juice 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 do, but I like it anyway.”

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

"What about 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, "You want to eat them all?"

"Of course, how can such a good rib be wasted?" Bai Renzong nodded and continued to eat.
