"What's wrong?" Widow Xie was enthusiastically gnawing on a duck neck. Seeing Ji Huan frowning with a dissatisfied look, she was a bit puzzled.
"It just feels like something's missing..." 'Looks like this braising recipe isn't the best for duck necks,' she thought.
Ji Xuelan and Widow Xie unanimously felt the duck necks were braised very well, incredibly delicious, and that there was nothing wrong with them at all.
Ji Huan didn't say anything more.
Next to be braised were eggs, dried tofu, and a slab of fresh tofu she had bought from Uncle Fu on her way back from Yeyang that morning.
The washed eggs were first hard-boiled over low heat. Once cooked, they were removed, cooled, and peeled. Then, they were added to the braising liquid to simmer for thirty minutes before being taken out.
The dried tofu followed a similar process, but the fresh tofu was a bit more work.
