Onscreen, the young woman's pale hands moved in a flurry.
Mo Si thought, 'The scene is beautiful, but it's also monotonous. Watching it for too long might get boring.'
Jiang Qiuqiu had no idea what the audience was thinking.
Her eyes were fixed only on the dish in her pot.
Braised bamboo shoots was a simple yet exceptional delicacy.
Jade-like bamboo tips sizzled as they hit the hot oil in the pot, releasing an almost irrepressible mountain flavor. The key to this dish was heat control. A quick stir-fry over high heat to release the aroma, followed by adding simple seasonings and simmering for a short while, resulted in a rare and delicious treat.
Jiang Qiuqiu quickly turned down the heat, added the sauce, and put on the lid. Then, she explained, "Simmering it for a bit will bring out the bamboo's umami flavor to the fullest. It'll be ready to reduce the sauce in about three minutes. While we wait, let's start plating."
