[BL] The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

104-Finals - Side B

Zha Panpan was probably the one who took the most ingredients out of all the contestants. Except for the cabbage, she took all the ingredients in the box, and went to the ingredients room to pick winter melon, tofu, pepper, etc., obviously she didn't have a cooking direction yet. She needed to determine the correct combination and processing of ingredients through experimentation.

The three judges had high hopes for her and Shi Mingxu, and they hoped that she could find a direction as soon as possible.

The other three took very similar ingredients. Basically, they took all the ingredients recommended by the judges, and they were now pondering how to make suitable dishes.

Three hours could not be considered long nor short. It was enough time for these players to make a few attempts.

Watching the players constantly going back and forth from practice and failure, Ruan Tang could not help but admonish them, "Don't imagine how to make the vegetables into meat. Think first of a meat dish that you'd like to make, and then turn these vegetables to that direction. Come on, think about how to replace the meat with vegetables. "

These players have arrived here by overcoming one difficulty after another. It was clear that none of them were stupid and with just a simple hint from Ruan Tang, it was as though the cloud of confusion finally dispersed and they were finally able to little by little find a direction.

As the minutes passed, the players' dishes gradually took shape.

"Okay, time's up. Please present your dishes to the judge's table in the order of your registration."

When the timer ran out, the players stopped their movements. They put their freshly prepared dishes on a tray, and covered them with an opaque thermal insulation cover. So that when the judges called their names they could easily present their dishes.

President Gu looked at each of the five contestants, and finally called out Zha Panpan's name.

Although the entire cooking process done by all the players were broadcasted live, viewers would generally lock on to only their preferred player and so they missed seeing what the other contestants made. Seeing that all the dishes were now hidden under an opaque cover, the audience immediately wailed.

[Sixty-six: Ahhhhhhhhhh. I had been so focused on watching Shi Mingxu that I didn't pan out to the other contestants! Now, I don't know what Zha Panpan made! Damn it!]

[Thousands of birds: Hahaha, Sister PanPan's dish is totally unexpected! Sister Panpan will be the champion for sure!]

Zan Panpan put the tray on the table, and when she opened the insulation cover, it was a dish of braised Dongpo meat. Two square pieces of "pork belly" was placed in the center of the plate, surrounded by green vegetables. The layers or lean portion, fatty portion, and skin of the "pork belly" was distinct. The rosiness of the meat appeared after cooking it with the thick oily and it also had the distinct smell of meat. You absolutely couldn't tell that this plate of Dongpo meat was actually made out of vegetables.

Ruan Tang took a small knife and cut the braised Dongpo meat into small pieces. He then took a piece with his chopsticks and took a moment to examine it before putting it into his mouth. Zha Panpan had put a lot of thought into the dish. She made the skin out of king oyster mushrooms, the fatty portion out of winter melon, and lean meat out of gluten. The three combined perfectly. However, she did not fry the winter melon to absorb some oil. Thus after steaming, the winter melon melted and the texture did not match.

Although this dish was still a bit different from the real braised Dongpo meat, it certainly did have the taste of meat and in terms of appearance, it also managed to imitate the real thing perfectly. And so, he was quite satisfied with this dish.
