72-Live Broadcast : Sampling the Strange - Part 3

At this point, the oven made a "ding", and the cheese lobster that he'd put in before was now done baking.

Ruan Tang quickly put on gloves, opened the oven and took the baking tray out of it. He then carefully peeled off the tin foil to expose the roasted lobster inside.

The lobster, which looked a bit fierce before had turned a beautiful red after being baked. Its body was slightly curled. The cheese turned golden-yellow because of the high heat and had spread all over the big red lobster. The red of the lobster and the golden yellow of the cheese, enhanced each other's beauty and created a showy and dazzling sight.

Ruan Tang used a pair of chopsticks to part the cheese, revealing the white lobster meat below. Steam burst forth and brought out with it a sweet aroma.

"The cheese lobster is ready to eat." He said with a smile. The audience immediately pounced on it with their chopstick. It seemed they were more accepting of the lobster meat than they had been of the crab meat. The lobster meat was glittering and translucent. It looked very clean and neat — not at all hideous or filthy. It was difficult to think that that hideous lobster before was actually so good-looking inside.

[Blue Jade: It's delicious, delicious! Delicious! These things look ugly, but they taste really good!]

[Qi Qi: Exactly! Although this meat called lobster is not as tender as crab meat, its texture is great! So springy!]

The cheese lobster was very tasty. The lobster meat was steamed just right, creating an al dente texture. The milky fragrance of the cheese covered the lobster meat; it's rich taste fills the entire mouth. Just one bite was not enough.

It seemed though, that the next ingredient won't be so easily accepted. When the audience saw the huge and incomparably ugly purple octopus, they were all taken aback.

[Evening Snow Fairy: My God! This thing is too ugly!!!!!]

[Small transparent: Damn, they get uglier and uglier! Just looking at it hurts my eyes!]

[Linghu Liru: No no no no ... I refuse!!! At least you could peel the shells off those creatures before, the white meat inside was still very beautiful. But this big purple thing is not just hideous, it's also sticky. How can we eat that?]

[Qi An: Yeah! It's not only ugly, it's also disgusting! ...I refuse! I won't eat it!]

The audience was frightened by the ugly appearance of the octopus, and they expressed their rejection. They were unwilling to eat food made with this extremely ugly ingredient. The octopus was not dead yet, and several long tentacles were swaying weakly in the air. Maybe it was angered by their comments in the live chat.

Even the octopus that was going to be eaten wasn't saying anything! But these people were unexpectedly still so choosy!

Although the audience was in an uproar, Ruan Tang didn't pay it any mind. He was sure that after things were done, they would definitely like it.

——After all, this is not the first time that they all went "so delicious".

Because the octopus was too big, Ruan Tang asked He Yun Chen to help. He chopped off a really thick tentacle, and cut it into small pieces with a knife.

He boiled a pot of hot water with ginger slices and chopped green onions. Once it started boiling, he put in the sliced ​​octopus into the water and blanched it quickly. He then took it out and drained it, setting it aside for later use.

He took out the fry pan once again and poured in some cooking oil. He added ginger strips, minced garlic and sliced onions, and stir-fried until they turned fragrant. This familiar scent suddenly whet these viewers' appetites. Ruan Tang added the blanched octopus pieces together with two spoonfuls of doubanjiang and red pepper paste. He sauteed it well until it was evenly distributed. As the octopus meat slowly cooked through, the slightly clammy purple pieces of meat gradually became translucent. The small pieces looked quite cute.
