Chapter 1474 - 572: When Egg Sauce Meets Handmade Noodles, Even Those Without Appetite Will Slurp Up a Big Bowl!

Chapter 1474: Chapter 572: When Egg Sauce Meets Handmade Noodles, Even Those Without Appetite Will Slurp Up a Big Bowl!

After stir-frying for another two minutes, when there was no more oil in the pot, he poured the eggs that had been previously cooked into the pot and quickly stir-fried them, making sure the sauce was evenly coated on the eggs.

Soon, the aroma wafted out again.

Compared to before, this scent had the freshness of eggs and shrimp sauce, the crisp flavor of green and red peppers, the onion fragrance of spring onions, and the aroma of the sauce. All the different scents mingled together, making one’s mouth water just from the smell.

Yuan Debiao scooped the sauce in the pot into a basin, and Lin Xu remembered the entire process by heart, then went to make hand-pulled noodles.

Not long after, the hand-pulled noodles were ready, and lunch officially began.

Noodles were placed in large bowls, some egg sauce was ladled over them, then mixed together, picked up with chopsticks, and slurped down, the feeling was indescribably satisfying.

Especially when eating the soft, juicy eggs, it was more enjoyable than eating meat.

Yuan Debiao took a big bowl, tasted it, and said:

"Brother Lin’s hand-pulled noodles are indeed marvelous, smooth and chewy, making the egg sauce even more delicious."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"It’s actually the egg sauce that makes the noodles tastier... Chef Yuan, do you have any plans after lunch? Going out for some restaurant exploration today?"

"Not today, I need to carefully consider where to explore restaurants, choose a direction. Small restaurants aren’t suitable, too much trouble, better to go to larger restaurants."

This indeed needs proper planning, for example, both senior brother and old Dai generally choose restaurants where the average bill is over five hundred.

The larger the restaurant, the more they care about their reputation, so they haven’t encountered anyone causing trouble yet.

After Yuan Debiao finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"I have nothing planned for the afternoon, brother Lin, do you have any plans?"

Lin Xu then said:

"I want to learn about Snowy Bean Paste, it feels quite challenging. If I can master it, I’d like to make it for my elders at home, I think older folks would enjoy this sweet dish."

"Sure, Snowy Bean Paste is easy to learn, not difficult for you."

Dai Jianli had originally planned to leave after lunch, but hearing there would be activity later, he decided to stay to taste the Snowy Bean Paste.

This dessert, fried at low temperature, indeed is quite likable.

The three of them slurped noodles, and after finishing one bowl, each took another.

When Lin Xu eats noodles, he usually only has one bowl, but today, with the egg sauce mixed in, he couldn’t stop eating.

No wonder people online say that whenever egg sauce noodles are made at home, nothing is left.

Originally, he thought egg sauce noodles were similar to Noodles With Black Bean Sauce, but when tasted, egg sauce was less greasy and lacked the richness of fatty meat cubes, while adding a touch more freshness.

Overall, this sauce was fragrant, not greasy, full of fresh flavor, and without additional toppings, it was actually tastier than Noodles With Black Bean Sauce.

The advantage of Noodles With Black Bean Sauce is using multiple dishes to balance the grease and add variety to the texture.

Egg sauce doesn’t need to be so complicated, mix it with noodles and eat directly.

Overall, Noodles With Black Bean Sauce is like the fallen prince’s elaborate display, while egg sauce noodles are the daily comfort of ordinary folks, more satisfying to eat.

After two bowls of noodles, Lin Xu still had a craving for more, but his stomach was already a bit full.

So he had to put down his chopsticks, intending to make a batch in the store later for everyone to taste.

Yuan Debiao started preparing Snowy Bean Paste after finishing his meal.

This is a representative dish among Northeast women’s dishes, reigning alongside caramelized sweet potatoes for years, although nowadays these two dishes have mostly disappeared from restaurant menus.

The reason is simple, they’re too troublesome to make, especially Snowy Bean Paste, unless you’re familiar, even offering more money, chefs are reluctant to make it.

So-called women’s dishes are sweet dishes often found in Northeast menus.

These simple women’s dishes not only describe the attributes but also showcase the indomitable tiger spirit of the Northeastern men.

Women’s dishes are prepared for women, and if you’re a big man holding chopsticks, you’d be advised to gulp down this shot of white first!

In Northeast dining, women’s dishes are mainly ordered when ladies are present; if only men are present, it’s usually just a table of drinking dishes with each man downing a half-liter of baijiu first.

Dai Jianli looked at Yuan Debiao and asked:

"You don’t see Snowy Bean Paste much in Northeast restaurants anymore, right?"

"They mostly don’t make it, unless it’s for familiar folks or if some internet celebrity hosts visit the restaurant, only then will they prepare it carefully... just like your Sichuan Snowflake Chicken Nao, are they commonly made at ordinary eateries?"

"Of course not, and even if someone makes it, the taste is usually mediocre. Some restaurants try to save money by using luncheon meat and ham sausage cubes instead of ham cubes, they can’t even get the ingredients right, so how can it taste good?"

Though only a word difference between ham and ham sausage, their texture, taste, and price are worlds apart.

Ham is an essential ingredient in high-end dishes of all major cuisines, whereas ham sausage suits to pair with instant noodles.

In the kitchen behind building number eight, they had prepared the bean paste, already rolled into balls.

Lin Xu lifted them slightly, each ball seemed to weigh about twenty grams, more or less.

Yuan Debiao rolled these red bean paste cores in potato starch, ensuring the surface was coated completely with starch, enhancing the ability to coat them with the egg white batter.

Once coated with starch, they were set aside, and he began beating the egg whites.

The egg white batter is the key to making Snowy Bean Paste, also the soul of such dishes. Mastering it allows you to make Snowy Chocolate, Snowy Melt-in-your-mouth Custard, Snowy Black Sesame, Snowy Taro Mud, Snowy Purple Yam Mud, and various other sweet treats, mastering this equates to mastering the entire dessert dish category.

In the past, making this dish required hand-beating egg whites until they were completely whipped, to the point where chopsticks wouldn’t topple over, a huge test of the chef’s physical strength and endurance.

But now with a mixer, this step has become much simpler.

Technology changes lives, this isn’t just a casual saying.

While Yuan Debiao was busy whipping egg whites, on the other side, Luo Shan and Grandpa Gao, along with Lin Hongqi and his wife, began inspecting the entire scenic area...
