Chapter 380 Aroma
After preparing the sauce, stir-fry.

Previously, Amu and Han Jiang had demonstrated their excellent stir-frying skills, which was a feast for the eyes.

At this moment, Xu Qing took out three large pots and placed them on the stove one by one so that the three pots could be heated evenly.

"Why do you need three pots? Can't you just use one pot to fry?"

"You don't understand this."

Someone who knows a little bit more said proudly: "The moisture and fiber content of ingredients are different, so the heating and frying time are different, but the difference is minimal. So there is no problem with using one pot, but if you use multiple pots to stir-fry according to the different characteristics of different ingredients, the taste of the dishes will be even better."

"I see!"

"Amazing!"

Everyone immediately focused their attention, full of anticipation.

Master Abei knew from Xu Qing's previous letters that Xu Qing had already learned Master Luo Tian's special skills, but she had never seen Xu Qing perform them in person. Now she could finally see it with her own eyes.

It was just as that person said, Xu Qing prepared three pots just to fully bring out the deliciousness of the ingredients.

Cooking is a whole process. Knife skills, stir-frying and seasoning are all for the final taste. Only when all three are brought to the extreme can the taste reach its peak.

As for this almost impossible dish, Xu Qing had no choice but to give it his all and use all his skills to make this impossible dish a reality.

At this moment, Xu Qing had already forgotten the agreement with the old man.

He no longer cared whether the old man would tell him all the news, nor did he think about the legendary kitchen utensils.

From the moment he started cooking, there was nothing else in his eyes and heart except the dish in front of him.

The only thing he wanted to do, and the only thing he should do, was to bring out the taste of this dish to its fullest.

If Amu's ideal is to make dishes that make people feel happy.

Xu Qing’s ideal is to make the dishes perfect.

Even if this ultimate thing is impossible to exist, he will try his best to make it a reality.

There are three pots. Xu Qing sorted the ingredients according to the cooking time and the corresponding heat, and put them into the three pots one by one.

The most important thing about stir-frying is the control of the heat. It is difficult to calculate what kind of ingredients will reach the best taste at what time.

Most people can only make a rough guess and judge based on the degree of doneness of the ingredients. As long as it is cooked, edible, and not unpalatable, it's fine.

Experienced chefs, after years of cooking, have their own unique experience and culinary intuition about changes in ingredients. Slight changes in the color and shape of ingredients all indicate changes in their taste.

If you ask them why this dish should be cooked at this time, why it tastes best at this time, they can't really explain it. It's a vague intuition. But this experience and intuition honed over time are very effective most of the time. For Xu Qing, his feelings are more direct than vague experience and intuition.

His keen five senses allow him to transform vague things into something that can be clearly perceived.

When his hand holds the handle of the pot, when his skin feels the temperature of the flame, when his eyes see the subtle changes in the temperature of the ingredients, and when his nose smells the subtle aroma emanating from the pot, everything tells him all the time what is happening in the pot and when the ingredients will be at their best.

These countless pieces of information do not even need to be summarized in the mind and then conveyed by the brain.

Instead, the next second after Xu Qing sensed the information, his hands took action spontaneously.

Xu Qing was seen turning the three iron pots quickly so that the three iron pots and the ingredients in the pots could be heated evenly.

His actions did not stop afterwards, his hands moved faster and faster, causing the three iron pots to flip more and more violently.

In the end, he simply threw the three pots into the air, letting them fly in an interlaced manner.

The ingredients in the pot seemed to be given life, flying up and down as the pot turned over. Countless ingredients crossed each other in the air, and the red, yellow, green and white colors mixed together, just like a hundred flowers blooming, beautiful beyond words. At the same time, Xu Qing's delicate control made the whole process of flipping the pot appear smooth and rhythmic, with a unique attraction, which made people stare at the flying and dancing pot, as if they were dazzled and couldn't even look away.

A'Mao even ran out of the table and watched Xu Qing's stir-frying skills from a closer distance.

In the process of constant stir-frying, the ingredients are constantly undergoing subtle changes, the color becomes more vivid and beautiful, and it has an oily luster, as if ordinary ingredients are dyed with a layer of jade, making them as warm and pleasant as jade, and carrying a kind of nobleness.

At the same time, the delicious taste of the ingredients will emanate from the pot.

Without adding any seasoning, the ingredients are fragrant just by stir-frying. The right amount of heat makes the ingredients taste even better, and several wonderful flavors burst out in an instant, competing for beauty, vying to drill into people's noses, making everyone who smells it can't help but take a deep breath.

When the stir-frying is almost done, add the prepared fish sauce.

After Xu Qing's careful matching, this special fish-flavored sauce, once added to the pot, is like oil cooking on a raging fire, instantly igniting the aroma in the air.

The fragrance of the food in the air undergoes a drastic change the moment it comes into contact with the fish-flavored sauce.

The originally soothing fragrance is transformed into an extremely stimulating, penetrating and aggressive fragrance. Once this fragrance appears, it instantly conquers the city and territories, completely occupying the taste and smell senses, making them unable to feel anything else except it.

It instantly makes people feel as if they are trapped in a sea of ​​fragrance, wrapped tightly by it with suffocating power.

It seems as if every pore has absorbed the fragrance, and as if every inch of skin has turned into taste buds, savoring its deliciousness with abandon.

This aroma is extremely mysterious and complex, with countless flavors hidden in it, making it impossible to tell what it is. At the same time, it has a strong sense of stimulation and impact, bringing an irresistible powerful force.

But the amazing thing is that such a strong taste and such a strong aroma do not cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves.

The fresh and light aroma of the ingredients is not covered by the strong aroma, but blended with it, as if wearing a gorgeous coat, making the originally plain and fresh aroma become complex and gorgeous, and making every aroma of the ingredients extremely beautiful and colorful, which is fascinating.
