The Film Emperor’s Daily Live Cooking Broadcast-Chapter 34 - A Luxurious Set Meal

Ch34 – A Luxurious Set Meal

On the way back home, Ruan Tang was thinking about the menu for tonight. In the morning, he had appeased the audience by promising more good food tonight, so he planned to make something richer for dinner.

Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup should do nicely. At night, he didn’t plan to make anything too greasy or complicated, so the evening’s menu was quickly decided. For the meat dishes, he could make stuffed peppers and White Meat in Garlic Sauce. For the vegetable dish, it would be stir-fried spinach and for soup, it would be tomato soup.

These dishes could also be made into a set meal, and the audience would really like it for the lottery tonight.

Ruan Tang logged onto the shopping site and placed a new order. He was now nearly up to five digits from his daily broadcasts, so there was no longer any need to consider the price when purchasing. What he wanted, he simply bought. Once he got home, he first went to take a shower.

While he had a refreshing shower, the versatile smart butler had helped him to put all the ingredients delivered by interstellar express delivery in the kitchen.

Ruan Tang put on the live broadcasting lenses and opened the live broadcast.

“Everyone, good evening, I am the anchor, Ruan Tang and today I want to bring you stuffed peppers, White Meat in Garlic Sauce, stir-fried spinach and tomato soup.”

[A galaxy far, far away: Wow, there are actually four dishes! The anchor is really great!]

[Slow horse: Looks like I’m in for a good meal (ˉ﹃ˉ) ]

[Is not a simple face: Offering these crystal flowers to the anchor, please give us lots of good food! ! !]

“These dishes today are relatively simple to make. If you are interested, you can learn and try it yourself.” Ruan Tang said as he took out five green peppers. “We will first make stuffed peppers, the ingredients to be used are green peppers and streaky pork.”

Each of the five green peppers were large, thick and fresh — as expected from the ingredients cultivated by the Academy of Sciences. There was no need to worry about the quality of the ingredients.

He first took off the stalks of the green peppers, then rinsed them inside and out with water before putting them aside.

He took a big piece of streaky pork and chopped it into minced meat. He put in the seasonings, and then marinated them to get rid of the fishy taste. The green pepper was cut in half. With how it was hollow, it looked like a small boat. The meat stuffing was placed into these long green pepper boats, and then put into the steamer. Once steamed, it would be finished.

“The green peppers need to be steamed for twenty minutes. Let’s make White Meat in Garlic Sauce in the meantime.”

The main ingredient used in White Meat in Garlic Sauce was also streaky pork. He bought three large pieces of pork belly. He had used a piece of the stuffed peppers. The remaining two pieces, he had prepared for the White Meat in Garlic Sauce.

“This meat needs to be cooked for fifteen minutes, so we will make the tomato soup next.” It was too simple to stir fry the spinach. At most it would take five minutes, so he chose to make this last so as not to let it turn cold and lose its taste.

[The April turtledove flicks its feathers: Hu hu hu, how can I wait…]

[Little Swallows fly and fly: sob sob, I can already smell it but I can’t eat it QAQ ]

Ruan Tang couldn’t help but laugh. He took out a cucumber from the freshness cabinet, broke it into pieces and made it into cold cucumber salad. He gave it to the audience to eat to their heart’s content.

[Paper-tailed rabbit: Oh, the anchor is so nice! ]

There were many ways to make tomato soup. In general, the kind of thick soup used in western restaurants required a lot of spices. In the absence of these ingredients, Ruan Tang could only a more Chinese-style soup, like how it’s often made at home. Anyway, as long as the main ingredients were there it would still taste very delicious.

He cleaned the beef first, then cut it into small cubes. In a similar manner, he placed cold water in a pot and when it was boiling, he put in the beef to get rid of the blood. He changed the water and added in onion and ginger and let it stew over low heat. This time it would take almost half an hour to cook.

Fortunately, at this time, the stuffed peppers in the steamer was done and the heat under the pork’s pot could be turned off.

He first turned off the heat but didn’t uncover it. He would use the remaining heat to continue to stew the pork belly, it would let the pork belly be thoroughly cooked through.

He then opened the lid of the steamer, and the heat spread out together with the rich aroma of the meat. The audience began to involuntarily gulp.

“The stuffed peppers are ready, everyone can taste it now, but be careful not to get burned.” After the stuffed peppers were put on the plate, Ruan Tang cut one open to let the audience more easily taste it.

[A Qiu Ei: Delicious! So sweet! ]

[ID20762441: The green pepper outside is a bit spicy, but it’s very soft. The meat inside is very tasty. Together, it’s simply delicious!]

[Following broadcasts to learn cooking: This dish is really simple to make and it tastes so good! ]

The skin of the green pepper was steamed into a tiger skin, and a lot of its spiciness was gone. There was now only a faint hint of it. There was even a faint fragrance to it now. Steamed with the meat for so long, the meaty juices had been completely absorbed by the green pepper. With just a single bite, the rich taste would flood your mouth. Tender but not mushy. The ground meat was tasty and carried a hint of the pepper’s spiciness and sweetness. A seemingly simple dish but the taste was unexpectedly rich.

In fact, green pepper could not only be steamed, but also can be stir-fried and the taste would be even more intense. But Ruan Tang thought that it might be too greasy. It was summer, and it was already evening. It would be better to eat something lighter.

At this time, the pork belly in the soup pot was almost done. Ruan Tang took the pork belly from the soup pot, sliced it thinly and evenly and stacked it onto a plate. This was the white meat. In addition, he took a small bowl and added in garlic that had been pounded into paste. He also put in some soy sauce, salt, and a little white sugar. Evenly sprinkling it on the sliced ​​white meat, and the White Meat in Garlic Sauce was finished.

“White Meat in Garlic Sauce is finished. Everyone can come and have a taste.” In the middle of the plate, Ruan Tang placed a small dish of chili oil, for those who liked their food spicy.

[Maple Flower Xue Wo: My goodness, it almost looks too nice to eat…]

Because there had been enough time, Ruan Tang did a simple arrangement for the meat. Layer by layer, Ruan Tang placed the meat to create layers of petals. The last pieces were piled into a bulging heap. Because the cut was very thin, the fatty part looked almost transparent. After pouring the garlic sauce, the white meat was covered with red sauce, and the surrounding area was surrounded by a small circle of red broth. As a result it was transformed from a rustic hilltop to a newly-erupted volcano.

[Can’t stop hugging trees: It doesn’t matter how nice it looks, nothing can stop me from eating it!]

[So so hungry: that’s right! I’ve already eaten it now… It’s delicious! Even when there was no sauce, it was already very savory, but with it, the taste became even richer and more delicious! I really feel like I’m in heaven! ]

[kikii: The anchor is really amazing. In the hands of the anchor, any ingredient can become a delicacy!]

The white meat was boiled until it was soft and tender. Mixed with the aromatic garlic and the delicious soy based sauce, it was rich but not greasy. People couldn’t stop with just one bite.

The beef had almost been boiled enough. It had been slowly stewing over low heat, constantly making bubbling sounds. Ruan Tang took a look at the pot and washed clean the tomatoes, potatoes, carrots and onions. After peeling them, he cut them into small pieces. The cabbage was torn into pieces by hand. He set up the pan and heated some oil. He then picked up the onion and put it in. Along with the sizzling sound, the aroma of the onion was slowly burst forth. When the onion had changed color, he added the carrots and cabbage and stir-fried until the moisture evaporated.

He turned off the heat, took the lid off the beef soup and lifted the pan next to it. He scooped the stir fried vegetables into the beef soup.

The potatoes were also put it and because the potatoes naturally had starch in them, there was no need to add starch slurry for thickening afterwards.

He turned the heat back on and put the pan back. He then put in the cut tomatoes to stir fry. When the tomatoes had gone soft and expelled its juices, he added half of a small bottle of tomato sauce.

The color and sourness of the tomato soup cannot rely solely on fresh tomatoes. It was necessary to use tomato sauce to make the tomato taste more intense. Both were indispensable.

The soup pot next to him was boiling again and the ingredients were bobbing up and down in the bubbling soup. Ruan Tang poured the tomatoes together with the juice, seasoned it with a little salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to freshen the taste and then closed the lid again. The tomato soup was basically complete, and it only needed to continue to boil for about ten minutes more.

In fact, if you could use butter to stir-fry these vegetables, the taste would be even more intense and fragrant, but because the dairy products hadn’t yet been made, Ruan Tang could only use cooking oil. But cooking oil couldn’t substitute for butter when making roux.

When making roux, flour and butter needed to be combined in a ratio of 5:1. Stir fry over low heat and then put in the soup to make the soup more thick and fragrant. Unfortunately, there was no butter, so this step could only be omitted. In any case, a lighter soup also tasted delicious. He took note of this in his hear. Now, he felt that it was indeed a very wise decision to join the Academy. With the Academy of Sciences, he no longer had to wait bitterly for the new ingredients to be released. Whenever something came to mind, he could just tell them directly. It was very convenient.

When he has butter, he can re-do a more authentic tomato soup for the audience.

It would take a little time for the soup to be ready, just enough time to stir-fry a plate of spinach. Stir-fried spinach was very simple. Wash it, cut it into sections, put it into hot water and let it simmer for a bit. Then put it in the oil pan and stir-fry for two minutes. Add salt and mashed garlic, stir-fry until the spinach expels juice and it was done. It was so simple, even food writers were too lazy to describe it.

Although this dish was simple, the taste was absolutely not bad at all. The fresh spinach was soft and palatable, with a little bit of sweetness. The taste of garlic was mixed in, not too strong, but it made the dish tastier and more refreshing. After eating two rich meat dishes, eating some fresh and sweet spinach, immediately takes away the oily feeling.

[My Tang is Wonderful: Woah! Pairing this dish with the others is so refreshing~]

[A lump of fat pudding: Ah, white meat is my red rose, spinach is my white moonlight! So happy! ]

Ruan watched as comment after comment flew past in the live chat, and he couldn’t help but smile. He opened the soup pot and took a look. Then he turned off the fire and ladled out a small bowl of soup. “The soup is ready. Everyone can have a taste.”

The white porcelain bowl contains a tempting red soup, thick, with a layer of golden oil on the side. The soft and tender beef was rich, and with the light and refreshing vegetables, it immediately neutralized the greasy feeling that may have been there. Even eating a whole pot wouldn’t make you sick of it.

[Little Swallows fly: a big mouthful of meat, some vegetables, and finally a spoonful of delicious soup, this really is too addicting!]

[Anchor I’m your old fan: anchor, anchor! Are you lacking a pet? With an annual income of more than a million, comes with a car and house, and can even warm your bed! Will work hard without complaint, what you say goes, you just need to feed!]

[Uji Gwangnian: In your dreams! Anchor, look here, look here! I am willing to give 1000 GM coins every day. Just give me a portion when you make food!]

[Miao Miao loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor: Hey, the dishes are all finished. Is it time for the lottery?… I beg you, draw me! (T▽T)

“Yes, today, ten lucky viewers will be drawn and a luxury set meal of two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup will be delivered.” As Ruan Tang said this he saw the entire live chat start praying for luck.

[I don’t care if I don’t want to pay off: Anchor, don’t forget our secret agreement, ok? QvQ]

[Liu Yebai: Who made an agreement with you?… Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Toaist Trinity, the Lord on High, the True God! Be sure to let me win! ]

[Yue Zhi Xin remembers snow: Master! Your disciple wants one! ! ]

Ruan Tang looked smilingly on as the audience showed off their antics. He couldn’t help but shake his head. When he was about to start the lottery, a meteor shower exploded as per usual in the live room.

“User ‘HE’ gave the anchor a meteor shower.”

[HE: I want to eat. ]

[HE: QvQ]

He probably felt that the usual “delicious” comment wasn’t enough to be looked favorably upon by the anchor. He Yun Chen, who had been missing out on several meals already, felt that he needed to change tactics. Not only did he change from the usual “delicious” or “tastes good” to “I want to eat” but he had also learned from the audience to sell meng.

Ruan Tang glanced at this and couldn’t help but smile. He really wanted to see his expression when this “cold and aloof” Marshal He discovers that his identity had already been exposed by his own brother. Would he want to go back in time and strangle this version of him who sent out this emoticon?

It was also a coincidence that when he clicked on the lottery button, the ID ‘HE’ floated right in front of him. His fingers stretched out, and he could almost imagine He Yun Chen’s excitement…and then his finger moved and clicked on the name below his.

“Congratulations, Mu Ze, ID27324740, Violet Sunlight, Warm Night…etc. To the ten lucky viewers, your express delivery will be sent later, please pay attention to check and receive.”

There were a lot of people in the live broadcast room who had noticed this scene. They suddenly jokingly and laughingly said, “Sorry, just because you have the money, doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want!”

[Can’t stop hugging trees: Hahahahaha, why can’t I stop smiling! The upright anchor once again proved that having money doesn’t give you privilege!]

Ruan Tang coldly turned off the live broadcast and then packed up 11 packages, one of which was a lot bigger, almost twice the size of the others.

He thought even more coldly, “Having money won’t buy you privilege but acting cute will!”
