Heavens! This is absolutely soul-stirring.
"Is the Jiangtuan steamed and ready now?"
He was a bit impatient to taste it, but the response he got was, "Not yet, just wait a little longer."
Dai Jianli brought over a basin and carefully poured out the broth from the steamed Jiangtuan. Then, he picked out the incompletely melted caul fat and threw it away.
He then rearranged the Fish in the basin to make its appearance even more perfect. He also repositioned the slices of Ham in the basin.
Then, he poured the previously extracted broth back into the pot, brought it to a boil over high heat, and added a small spoonful of white sugar and a teaspoon of pepper to bring out all the savory and aromatic flavors of the broth.
After seasoning, he poured the broth back into the basin holding the Jiangtuan.
