Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 653: Chapter 672: Pickled Radish

With that, the camera robot focused on the cutting board.

A familiar sight once again filled everyone’s screens.

Today’s star was a plump, white radish.

As one of the most common ingredients of bygone spring days, radishes have many wonderful uses. The peel could be made into pickled radish skin, a best-selling sweet and sour side dish for congee at late-night snack shops. The flesh, cut into long, uniform strips, could be turned into a fine appetizer.

Today, Jiang Qiuqiu was going to teach everyone how to make pickled radish.

She had tested it beforehand and found that the peel of this interstellar radish had a rather astringent texture, and it didn’t taste very crisp or refreshing when prepared.

"Today’s recipe is really simple! Any fans who can get their hands on the ingredients can give it a try."

[How simple could it be?]

[I don’t believe I can do it.]

[She always says it’s "just a tiny bit" difficult.]

"No, really! I didn’t even say it was difficult this time. It’s genuinely very simple, with no difficulty whatsoever."

With that, she picked up her kitchen knife with a smile. "Everyone, please listen carefully to the steps today, or it’ll be over in a flash."

Making pickled radish really was simple.

It was a dish that belonged to time.

It didn’t require much skill. Jiang Qiuqiu first picked up a radish and used a kitchen knife to shave off its peel. "If you can’t do this step, you can find a soldier with good knife skills to help, or program your butler robot if you have one."

"And if you still can’t?"

Jiang Qiuqiu hummed thoughtfully. "Then I guess you could just gnaw the peel off with your teeth."

Her eyes crinkled as she smiled. "Alright, once the peel is completely removed, we’ll cut the radish into long strips. It’s best to cut them like this—if they’re too thick, they won’t absorb the flavor well, and if they’re too thin, they’ll lose some of their texture."

"Next, take out your prepared sugar, salt, the new white vinegar from the Agricultural College, and a few small chili peppers. For the chilies, make sure you get them from the Taotao Fresh Agricultural Research Institute. I’ve tried a few different kinds, and so far, theirs have the most authentic flavor."

The list of ingredients wasn’t long.

The steps were even simpler. She sprinkled a few spoonfuls of salt over the radish strips and tossed them thoroughly by hand. "Then, we wait for one hour."

While they waited, Jiang Qiuqiu took out a custom-made charcoal grill grate, sliced up some beef and pork belly, and announced, "I’m not going to skip ahead today or make everyone wait for nothing. We’re going to eat some meat!"

[!!!]

[There’s that grill again! So awesome! I’m in love!]

[The smell of barbecue is just as enchanting as I remember! *Sniffle*]

’Looks like the barbecue is a big hit.’

Beef really was something that cooked quickly. Sliced thin, and with the heat from the flint stone being more than enough, the bright red meat was laid gently on the metal grate. It turned white in an instant. The heat forced out the juices, and a fragrant, meaty aroma began to spread through the faint smoke.

She then used her chopsticks to gently flip the meat. In no time, the beef was perfectly seared.

It was cooked to perfection. The high heat hadn’t evaporated all its moisture; when she took a bite, the meat was still springy. Dipped in a bit of Jiang Qiuqiu’s special sauce, its savory, captivating aroma was simply divine.

Jiang Qiuqiu savored the first delectable bite herself.

"Mmm."

"Words can’t describe it. The feeling of eating big slices of meat is just too good. I remember eating that Bibi Meat steak last time, and the flavor of these thin slices is completely different."

She happily critiqued the food, but the fans watching the stream were dumbfounded.

[???]

[Wait, I feel like this step is wrong. Why didn’t Juju have the butler scan and upload it first? I... where’s my share?]

[The person above has some nerve! How could it be your share? It’s obviously my share!]

[Ahhh, did Juju forget? She always uploads it before she eats!]
