Golden Egg Fried Rice 2
Those viewers who had originally harbored doubts about Wen Jiu quickly suppressed any thoughts of questioning her the moment they witnessed her exceptional knife skills.
[PumpkinBigMelonPumpkin: Every time I watch Sister Making-a-Fortune chop vegetables, I feel like I'm watching some ancient Huaxia martial arts movie.]
Wen Jiu smiled gently as she glanced at the scrolling comments. This level of dicing carrots and mincing greens was truly nothing special to her; if the conditions here weren't somewhat lacking, preparing Wensi Tofu would be an absolute breeze.
"The version of egg fried rice I'm making today is paired with diced carrots and minced greens, but everyone is free to add side dishes according to your personal preferences when making it at home."
After a brief pause, Wen Jiu added, "I will write down several common pairing methods in the recipe. For those little money-lovers who might not know what to pair it with, you can refer to those methods."
She was genuinely worried that these viewers would let their imaginations run wild and toss all sorts of bizarre things into the pan, which would simply be a waste of food.
As someone from the modern era who had endured a period of having nothing to eat, Wen Jiu firmly refused to tolerate any waste of food.
*Ding.*
Just as Wen Jiu finished preparing the various side dishes, the rice in the electric cooker was ready.
First, she skillfully fluffed the rice to loosen it, then scooped out enough portion for about three people into a bowl and set it aside.
"The rice is done. When scooping out the rice, you can follow the method I just used, which will prevent the resulting egg fried rice from becoming too sticky."
No sooner had she spoken than Wen Jiu manipulated the flame in the palm of her hand, gently drying out the rice in the bowl a bit more.
"Now we can turn on the heat, heat the oil, and make the golden egg fried rice."
Wen Jiu skillfully ignited the stove and poured an appropriate amount of oil into the wok.
Actually, there were no special techniques to making golden egg fried rice. Once the oil was hot, Wen Jiu poured in a portion of the beaten eggs first. Before the egg liquid could fully solidify into a sheet, she added the rice and rapidly stir-fried everything together.
Wen Jiu's slender wrist gave a sharp toss of the wok, her movements flowing like moving clouds and running water. It felt to the viewers as if they were watching some breathtaking performance, prompting sighs of admiration across the chat.
The originally snow-white grains of rice became coated in the golden egg liquid during the tossing process. Right after that, Wen Jiu poured in a bit more egg liquid and continued to stir-fry, completely enveloping every single grain of rice in a uniform layer of golden egg bits.
Next, she tossed in the diced carrots and minced greens. The waves of aroma grew increasingly rich, driving the viewers to flood the chat once again.
[ChrisWantsFiveBowls: Wuwuwu, it smells so good! I must grab a tasting slot this time!]
[ManLikeTheWind: You should practice your hand speed first before talking. One of the ten slots is definitely going to be mine, Wind Man.]
Although she still had her reservations, Zhou Xiaohua also caught a whiff of that fragrance. She couldn't help but twitch her nose, trying to inhale every last bit of the scent that was tempting her.
After a short while, Wen Jiu divided the egg fried rice from the wok into three portions and plated them.
Every viewer could clearly see that the golden-colored rice grains, interwoven with tender green scallions, bright red diced carrots, and vibrant green vegetable bits, formed a truly beautiful picture.
"Here, you two eat these two portions first." Prompted by Wen Jiu's gesture, Qiao Shishi and Fei Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward to take their large plates of egg fried rice. Disregarding the heat radiating from the freshly cooked food, both of them grabbed their spoons and dug in.
The golden egg fried rice featured distinct, separated grains, leaving a lingering fragrance with every bite. The rice was soft yet possessed a hint of chewiness, and every single grain was infused with the sweet aroma of eggs.
[ImSoHungry: Help, is there any justice left?! Quickly serve His Majesty's golden egg fried rice! Wuwuwu]
[SmashedIntoGlassShards: Sister Making-a-Fortune, open the tasting slots right now! If you don't open them, I will... I will kneel and beg you to!]
"Mhm, don't rush, everyone," Wen Jiu said as she scooped up a spoonful of egg fried rice into her mouth. "Give me ten more minutes. I'll finish eating, immediately fry another batch, and then open the tasting slots."
[ChrisWantsFiveBowls: A gourmet live stream has turned into a mukbang stream.]
[PumpkinBigMelonPumpkin: Mukbang is also a subcategory of the food section, so our food streamer Sister Making-a-Fortune is doing just fine.]
[Glacier: Damn it, why can't I get to eat such fragrant egg fried rice? Can Big Brother Monkey come out and solve this!]
[BigBrotherMonkey: Heh, you think I'm going to be able to eat it?]
Big Brother Monkey was feeling rather depressed right then. Looking at the online viewer count in Wen Jiu's stream—which had unexpectedly soared to six thousand people—he couldn't help wondering if he was now going to have to fight those six thousand people for just ten tasting slots.
He suddenly regretted recommending such a treasure of a culinary streamer to his fans. It was one thing for these monkeys to curse him for taking sponsored deals earlier, but now they were even going to compete with him for tasting slots. For the very first time, Big Brother Monkey regretted having so many followers.
"Alright, alright, don't rush, everyone." Wen Jiu finally filled her stomach. Perhaps due to her ongoing growth phase, she always felt like her appetite had increased once again.
She quickly scooped out the remaining rice, which was just enough to fry about ten portions.
Fortunately, the cafeteria's wok was large enough to hold such a large batch of fried rice all at once. However, cooking in such a massive wok demanded even higher control over the heat.
Yet, Wen Jiu was extremely adept at managing fire and heat. She began stir-frying the egg fried rice once more, swiftly completing and plating the ten portions in no time.
"Preparing to open the tasting slots. Get ready, dear money-lovers."
Following her three-second countdown, the ten tasting slots were snapped up in an instant.
[ManLikeTheWind: As expected of me, I grabbed one again.]
[ChrisWantsFiveBowls: Ahhhhh I didn't get one! My craving is acting up, can Sister Making-a-Fortune open another round of tastings?]
[ImSoHungry: Why didn't I get one again? My mentality has collapsed.]
[Glacier: Just look at the online viewer count! Six thousand people fighting for ten spots. When on earth is Bika Live going to allow one-star streamers to add more tasting slots?]
Opening another round of tastings was impossible because Wen Jiu's energy was currently limited. The original body's severe malnutrition since childhood had left Wen Jiu's current physical condition quite weak.
However, Wen Jiu hadn't had the time to refine any nourishing medicinal pills yet, and recovering one's health was certainly not something that could be achieved overnight.
"Don't panic, everyone. Once I rank up to a two-star streamer, I'll be able to open thirty tasting slots."
Wen Jiu estimated that she was only a short stretch of experience points away from reaching two stars, and by that time, her physical stamina should also be able to keep up.
She opened the Bika Live scanning interface and, following the procedure she had used previously, registered the ten portions of golden egg fried rice one by one.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Xiaohua saw the very plate of golden egg fried rice that had captured her soul and driven her half-mad with craving materialize right in front of her.
The aroma rushed straight at her, making her swallow hard. Since it looked and smelled this delicious, she was certain it wouldn't taste bad at all.
Zhou Xiaohua fetched a spoon from the kitchen and scooped up a spoonful of the egg fried rice, bringing it to her mouth.
The very moment she began to chew, she froze in place, her spoon suspended mid-air, completely forgotten.
Earlier, seeing Wen Jiu pour in so much oil, she had worried whether it might taste excessively greasy.
Yet at this moment, her taste buds were softly telling her that the glossy, glistening grains of rice combined with the eggs in absolute perfection. Every single chew delivered a wave of rich flavor, while the natural sweetness of the carrots and the slight, pleasant bitterness of the greens effortlessly balanced out any trace of oiliness.
Every single bite brought her a profound and complete sense of happiness.
