Qin Lang took a deep breath and began the next steps.
A hot pot with cold oil, after allowing the oil to soak the walls, he poured it out, then added an appropriate amount of olive oil into the pot.
On low heat with cold oil, he gently poured the chicken paste into the pot, stirring with a spatula until the paste solidified, transforming into fluffy clouds of chicken.
In this process, an amazing savoury chicken smell continuously burst from the pot, making Dan Bao on the side involuntarily swallow, as if he was experiencing the taste of the Snowflake Chicken that he had tasted over the past two days.
Plate the dish, and sprinkle it with finely diced cooked ham.
The simple addition of diced ham made the fluffy chicken tremble slightly.
The deep red ham and the white chicken complemented each other.
The Snowflake Chicken, done!
“Ding— ”
An electric bell sound echoed in Qin Lang’s kitchen the moment the Snowflake Chicken was finished.
This meant that his opponent had finished cooking!
“A step behind huh… that’s not a big issue.”
Qin Lang skillfully placed the prepared dishes into the kitchen cart, and then looked at Dan Bao on the side.
“Let’s go!”
“Gurulu!”
Dan Bao nodded heavily.
In this battle, it and its Spirit Chef would surely win!
“Ding— ”
After the spectacular performance by famous Food Spirit performer Zhang Xi Yue ended, without giving the excited audience any chance to lose their emotions, a clear bell sound echoed through the entire arena.
The moment they heard the ringing, the audience seats broke into cheers.
Because it symbolised that a Spirit Chef had finished cooking!
The competitive standard kitchen belonging to Tang Xie slowly opened at this moment.
With a solemn expression, Tang Xie exuding confidence, pushed his kitchen cart and stepped out.
He felt that his cooking state today was unprecedentedly good.
And finishing his dish before Qin Lang was also a good sign.
He chose his best dish and selected the best ingredients to cook in his best state.
Like the timing, location, and people all on his side, he couldn’t think of why he would lose!
“The one who finished cooking first, is our contestant Tang Xie!” The host spoke with a loud voice, holding the microphone, “Let us…”
“Ding— ”
Before he could finish speaking, another bell sounded.
The competitive standard kitchen belonging to Qin Lang also opened at this moment!
The time it took for both Spirit Chefs to finish cooking was so close!
For a moment, the entire venue boiled with excitement!
Everyone started to look forward to what dishes these two Spirit Chefs would present today.
“We see that contestant Qin Lang has also finished cooking his dish!” The experienced host wasn’t affected at all, and smoothly segued his narration, “The cooking completion time of both contestants was close, but contestant Tang Xie was faster.”
“So according to the competition rules…” The host glanced at the two contestants, who had pushed their carts beside him, then slowly said,”Contestant Tang Xie will proceed with the tasting section first, while contestant Qin Lang will have to wait for a while.”
“No problem.”
Qin Lang nodded nonchalantly and made a gesture of invitation towards Tang Xie.
He had noticed that Tang Xie was exceptionally confident today.
So he was also curious about what dish Tang Xie had prepared.
Tang Xie advanced with pride and pushed the kitchen cabinet forward a few steps, respectfully nodded at the eleven judges before taking the microphone.
“Respected food recommenders, the dish I brought today is called ‘Golden Silk Mockingbird’.”
As Tang Xie’s voice fell, Zhang Ting, the food recommender corresponding to the Grey Feather Badge among the judges, looked up at Tang Xie, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
Among Tang Xie’s three First-Level Food Recommender Badges, one is exactly the Grey Feather Badge.
And he initially obtained the Grey Feather Badge by using this very Golden Silk Mockingbird dish.
Therefore, Zhang Ting was quite familiar with Tang Xie’s dish.
It is not a simple dish at all.
Despite her pickiness towards delicious food, she very much recognises this particular dish.
This contestant named Qin Lang might be in trouble!
Zhang Ting turned her gaze to Qin Lang next to her, her eyes full of exploration.
The Wensi Tofu that Qin Lang cooked in the previous round left a deep impression on her.
In addition to the surprising aspect of the tofu being sliced into thin shreds, the chicken soup seasoning also gave Zhang Ting a pleasant surprise.
So…
What kind of dish will Qin Lang bring this time?
Will this dish exceed the Golden Silk Mockingbird that she admired so much?
She was very curious.
However, while Zhang Ting was still pondering, Tang Xie had already served the prepared dish and placed it in front of the eleven food recommenders.
Looking at the Golden Silk Mockingbird in front of her, a look of surprise flashed in Zhang Ting’s eyes.
Tang Xie’s culinary skills seem to have improved.
As Tang Xie served the dish, all the spectators in the hall also got to see the true face of the dish known as the Golden Silk Mockingbird through the close-up camera.
For a moment, gasps of surprise were heard all around the arena.
The Golden Silk Mockingbird.
Just like its name, the dish looked like a golden bird. Under the high-definition camera, one could even observe the fine golden threads and clear patterns of weaving on its surface.
After the dish was served, the eleven food recommenders began their tasting, and Tang Xie’s introduction also started at this moment.
“The Golden Silk Mockingbird, it uses the Purple Crown Chicken, a specialty of Bai Lu Mountain City.”
“The Purple Crown Chicken, due to its unique living conditions and diet, has different characteristics from other types of chicken. The muscle fibers in their breast area are slender and elastic, the chicken meat has a higher fat content and a unique flavor.”
“In this dish, 1 boiled the chicken breast in advance, separated the meat into shreds, then, following the exclusive folding weaving technique of Dongxia City, 1 wove it into a golden canary.”
“The purpose of weaving is not just for aesthetics.”
“The folding weaving technique creates a three-dimensional woven structure, but there are certain gaps between each thread.”
“Incorporating this special weaving technique into cooking allows the soup to evenly soak each strip of meat and tofu, finely seasoned, allowing the chicken breast meat to transform in this process.”
“In order to hold the shape of the golden canary made of the chicken breast thread, I filled in other parts of the Purple Crown Chicken, which is rich in fat, on the inside. As the cooking continues, the fat from these parts will melt into the chicken breast meat.”
“As we all know, the fat content of chicken breast meat is very low, resulting in a tough and not very good taste.”
“My method, however, can completely change the taste of the chicken breast,” Tang Xie’s face showed confidence and pride.
The constant gasps coming from the audience as he spoke proved he had the right to be confident and proud.
In the players’ spectator seats, Lei Ke was staring at Tang Xie for the first time.
Before this, among all the contestants in the Dongxia City Cooking Competition, only Qin Lang, who had presented his Wensi Tofu, had received Lei Ke’s approval, being considered worthy to compete with.
Now, it seemed that there would be one more.
It’s true that you can’t underestimate any Spirit Chef from any city!
