Chapter 506: Chapter 255: The Emotional Expert Makes a Second Comeback! The Secret to Delicious Minced Meat Steamed Eggs! [Subscribe Please]_3

"What a delicious smell! Can we eat now?"

She saw the minced meat steamed in the basin and couldn’t help swallowing.

Lin Xu took a small spoon, stirred the minced meat in the basin, then filtered the beaten egg liquid through a fine sieve into it. This allowed the meat, which was steamed until just cooked, and the egg liquid to mix together fully.

The steamed egg made this way, with the fresh fragrance of the eggs and the rich aroma of the meat combined, might not have looked the best, but its flavor and texture were superb.

Another method involved not stirring the meat but covering it with the egg liquid; this was called meat cake steamed egg.

Although it might have looked slightly better, the fragrance didn’t spread evenly and wasn’t as good as when the minced meat was stirred before steaming.

Besides these methods, one could also steam the egg custard separately. After steaming, a spoonful of minced meat, stir-fried with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, table salt, and sugar, could be poured over it. This version had a higher aesthetic appeal but was more troublesome to make.

Although for Lin Xu it was as simple as drinking cold water, for Shen Baobao, who had absolutely no cooking skills, and Chen Yan, it was as challenging as asking a junior high student to learn advanced mathematics.

This was a classic case of asking too much of them.

"Xu Bao, why don’t we just mix the minced meat and the egg liquid together and steam it?"

Shen Baobao yawned and leaned her head on Lin Xu’s shoulder.

Being close to Xu Bao just feels so reassuring!

Lin Xu said, "If you steam them together, the steamed egg is likely to have a fishy smell, especially if the meat isn’t marinated thoroughly or if the pork isn’t fresh. By steaming them separately—first steaming the minced meat until it’s just cooked, and then the eggs—you can avoid that problem."

Lin Xu briefly explained, then covered the small basin with its lid and started steaming again.

"Why cover it with a lid?"

"This way, the steamed custard will have no air pockets."

After speaking, Lin Xu chopped some scallions, which would be sprinkled on the steamed egg at the end.

By this time, the steamed buns, beef patties, and Pumpkin Soup were already done.

He brought out some dishes. Just as Shen Baobao was about to sit down to eat, Chen Yan appeared, dressed in a plaid shirt, jeans, and thin Doc Martens.

Shen Baobao glanced at her outfit. "Are you preparing to go work as a lumberjack in the Northeast Forest?"

"Tsk, you clueless fool who doesn’t understand fashion."

"Right, I don’t understand fashion, I don’t get matching, and I’m not even good at makeup... But I have Xu Bao, such a perfect husband. Annoying, isn’t it?"

Chen Yan was speechless.

Every time I try to mock my cousin, those mocking words quickly turn into bullets shooting back at me. If only my cousin couldn’t speak so well... tsk tsk, wouldn’t that be nice.

Lin Xu went back to the kitchen.

Before long, he opened the steamer and took out the small basin from inside.

As he lifted the lid, the aroma of eggs and meat instantly wafted out. Once the steam dissipated, the tender yellow egg, now solidified, could be seen inside. Some broth floated on the surface—the meat juices from steaming.

The rich meat scent at this moment was coming from this broth.

Although the egg was already steamed, it couldn’t be eaten just yet.

It needed additional seasoning to take the taste and texture of the steamed egg to another level.

He drizzled a bit of Steamed Fish Sauce over the surface of the steamed egg and then sprinkled some chopped scallions. Finally, he poured a little hot oil over it, causing a rich, fresh aroma to instantly rise.

It was ready to eat. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Lin Xu brought the prepared steamed egg with minced meat outside. Shen Baobao, who was eating a bun, and Chen Yan, who was sipping Pumpkin Soup, both turned their heads.

This rich, savory, and eggy aroma... it’s too tantalizing, isn’t it?

"Brother-in-law, is this the steamed egg with minced meat you said you’d teach us to make last night?"

"Yes. Try it and see how it tastes."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Yan and Shen Baobao took their spoons, originally used for the Pumpkin Soup, and gently scooped into the egg custard. They carved out trembling pieces of steamed egg, which even had a drizzle of Steamed Fish Sauce on the surface.

As they put the steamed egg into their mouths, the sisters’ eyes widened. "Wow, it’s so savory! The freshness of the egg envelops the aroma of the meat, and you can even taste the tiny pieces of minced meat inside. This is just perfect!"

"Brother-in-law, I want to learn how to make this!"

Lin Xu took Shen Baobao’s spoon and scooped a bit to taste. He was very pleased with the tender and smooth texture, the rich egg flavor, the delicious taste, and the flavorful minced meat.

"After we finish breakfast, I’ll make the hundred orders of Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake for the customers. Then I’ll teach you how to make Crystal Skin Jelly and steamed egg with minced meat. Once you’ve mastered the technique for steamed egg, you’ll be able to make all sorts of steamed egg dishes yourselves, like Okra Steamed Egg, Shrimp Steamed Egg, Steamed Milk Egg, Steamed Egg with Brain, Sausage Steamed Egg, and so on."

The preparation for these types of steamed egg dishes was quite similar.

As long as you got the ratio of egg to water right, strained it once before putting it in the pot, and covered the container with a lid, you could make tender and smooth steamed eggs.

With the steamed egg technique mastered, creating other dishes would be a breeze.

Listening to her brother-in-law’s explanation, Chen Yan always felt that what he described as simple was on a completely different level from her understanding.

When Lin Xu returned to the kitchen to get busy after breakfast, Wei Qian and the others had arrived at the shop by subway. They were now sitting in the booth area, eating breakfast and chatting about food.

Seeing this chubby little guy chatting away while eating, Chen Yan couldn’t help but think of the favor Song Tiantian had asked of her.

Yes, after last night’s meticulous planning, Chen the Strategist had come up with a brilliant idea.

However, with the grand opening celebration imminent, it wasn’t the right time to implement it.

She planned to arrange for Song Tiantian to make her move after the celebration, aiming to capture this little chubby fellow in one fell swoop and allow Song Tiantian to bring home her prize.

「Not far away.」

Wei Qian took a bite of his bun and whispered to Zhu Yong beside him, "I don’t know what’s going on today. When I first walked in, President Shu kept looking at me. Now that I’ve sat down to eat, President Chen is also staring. Do I have toothpaste on my face?"

"Nope... Could it be that President Shu and President Chen both want to lose weight, so that’s why they’re looking at you?"

Wei Qian elbowed his companion and mumbled to himself, "Do you think it’s because they saw that joke I wrote last night before bed? Is that why they’re reacting like this?"

"What joke?"

"The one I wrote anonymously: ’Beautiful Woman Throws Herself into His Arms, Boss Lin Adamantly Doesn’t Refuse!’"

"Not... not refusing?"

Zhuang Yizhou spat his mouthful of Pumpkin Soup into the nearby garbage bin.

The nerve of him, actually spreading stories about the boss starting a harem! If that got out, the boss would flay him alive. I’ve heard he’s pretty skilled at butchering pigs.

Zhu Yong took a bite of his bun. Just as he was about to join in with some teasing, Wei Qian said, "Less yapping from you. You’re always so henpecked you don’t even dare to fart. Isn’t that pathetic? If it were me... three punches, and she’d be as docile as a kitten!"
