Chapter 555 - 431: Found It! (Part 3)
Chen Mo: ...
"This is still in the tasting phase, I can’t serve it to you yet."
This is basic etiquette in the culinary world; during the tasting phase, only close acquaintances should try it, to avoid leaving a bad impression if it’s not good.
Chen Dingjun didn’t mind at all, "It’s fine, it’s fine, I’ll just eat this."
Xiaoxia was a bit puzzled, "Brother Fatty, oyster pancakes are everywhere, no matter how delicious they’re made..."
She didn’t finish the second half of the sentence.
Isn’t it still just an oyster pancake?
It’s the same old thing, using the same ingredients; no matter how you make it, there’s a cap on the flavor of the ingredients.
It might be delicious, but there’s no need to insist on eating it, is there?
Chen Dingjun ignored Xiaoxia’s confusion.
Just like Chen Mo ignored his excitement.
The oysters in the pan were pan-fried on one side for 20 seconds, then flipped when they started curling slightly, and then... Chen Mo evenly sprinkled pre-cut sea cucumber pieces around the oysters.
At this moment, he began mixing the batter that he’d made earlier and poured it in circles starting from the center, just about three millimeters thick, just enough to cover the oysters and sea cucumber pieces.
Seeing this technique, Chen Dingjun clapped his hands, "I knew it! I knew it, how could this be just a simple oyster pancake? Boss Xiao Chen, can I ask why you decided to add sea cucumber to the oyster pancake? Will it enhance the taste this way?"
Xiaoxia looked a bit surprised at Attacking Fatty, feeling that Brother Fatty’s behavior at this moment was completely different from when they first met.
A few hours ago, Brother Fatty was a calm, collected, and steady person. But now, he suddenly became restless, and even a bit childish.
"Hey, didn’t I tell you this is a taste-test? How would I know what adding sea cucumber does, I’m also experimenting."
After speaking, Chen Mo no longer paid attention to Brother Fatty.
He carefully observed the situation in the black pan.
The surface of the sea cucumber pieces absorbed a lot of scallion oil, so when the batter was poured in, the color around the sea cucumber pieces noticeably changed.
Before the batter had completely solidified, Chen Mo sprinkled chopped edible chrysanthemum on top, then gently pressed it into the batter with a spatula.
At this point, the batter began to solidify.
Chen Mo poured the prepared egg mixture into the pan in circles, mainly covering the edges of the batter, and as soon as the egg mixture touched the edge of the black pan, it solidified immediately, forming a golden crispy edge in no time.
Waiting for about another minute, the batter began to turn transparent and started to curl at the edges.
Chen Mo, with a spatula in one hand and a black spoon in the other, skillfully flipped it over and continued frying for 60 seconds.
Chen Dingjun was speechless at this moment, watching Chen Mo’s operation, a very unsettling thought popped into his mind.
"So putting sea cucumber and oyster pancake together, is this supposed to be a fusion of mainland and Taiwan flavors?"
"But... if it’s just this, it doesn’t seem to be very special!"
"If it really is just like this, why didn’t I think of making this snack this way before?"
Under Chen Dingjun’s complicated gaze, Chen Mo swiftly slid the entire pancake onto a plate, with the egg side facing up, looking very visually appealing.
Chen Dingjun mentally recited the sequence of making this snack.
"Next, it should be time to brush the sauce!"
"Brush... wait, what the heck is that?"
In his mind, this should be the moment when authentic Taiwanese sweet chili sauce, made from ketchup and chili sauce, is brushed on!
But why did Boss Xiao Chen brush a layer of... some thick, somewhat dull mysterious sauce on the beautifully perfect oyster pancake?
What the heck is that!
