"Speaking of which, there should be quite a few of you who have guessed the recipes, right?"

Li Xiao asked the audience in the live broadcast room, while flipping through the names of the dishes they left on their message board, and started to read them one by one:

"Braised pork ribs, scallion pancakes, dried radish, Kung Pao chicken...these are pretty normal dish names, but what are the weird names below?"

"Where did the traditional Chinese medicine recipe for soaking eggs in children's urine come from? We have to believe in science, okay? How could astronauts eat such unscientific things? Don't you think so?"

"There are also things like looking up at the stars and canned herrings that challenge the limits of human beings..."

"Tell me the truth, what do you think?" The more he looked down, the more he saw Li Xiao, who was famous for his dark cuisine, covering his face with laughter and tears. He was holding back his laughter and felt a little uncomfortable. It couldn't be because he really couldn't tell.

Let’s just go ahead and say the dish’s name is outrageous, right?

Li Xiao commented cheerfully, and there was also a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room:

"If you don't understand, just ask, is looking up at the stars some kind of scary dark dish?"

"Let me give you some information on the science above. It's a fish from the Eagle Country. The fish's head is pointed upward, which is said to be looking up at the stars."

"As a student studying in Eagle Country, all I want to say to such a dish is: run away."

"What kind of cancer is that boy soaking eggs in his urine? Does anyone still know about it? I want to know who wrote it. Did he experience any tragic accident?"

"Quietly, are these eggs really soaked in children's urine? Isn't this too scary?"

"Give me a definite answer upstairs. Yes, and it needs to be soaked for a month. You will definitely not want to try the eggs that are cooked after soaking."

"I went to Baidu and looked up at the stars, and I felt a sense of desolate beauty. Hahaha!"

"Does such a thing as canned herrings really exist?"

······

After complaining in the live broadcast room for a while, Li Xiao calmed down, picked up his chopsticks and pointed at the last dish on the table.

Fried meatballs.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever felt so full after eating. Even if I ate the entire set menu at the restaurant before, I would still be eighty percent full at most."

"It seems that the buffet style makes it easy for people to eat and can't stop eating."

"There's another reason. The dishes I just ate tasted really good."

"I hope this meatball can have a beginning and an end, and give today's buffet trip a good ending."

Completely different from the previous milk chicken rice, the fried meatballs on the plate can be said to be mini.

If I were to use a more appropriate object to describe their size, it would probably be the glass marbles I played with when I was a child.

To make a fragrant and delicious meatball, the first and most important thing to pay attention to is the preparation of seasoning.

A knowledgeable chef has a special recipe: cut onions, ginger, and garlic into small pieces, soak them in warm water with Sichuan peppercorns, then mash and grind them until the flavor of these ingredients is completely integrated into the water.

At this point you can start preparing the minced meat:

Cut the washed pork into small pieces and add minced ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, sesame oil, light soy sauce, salt and a little sugar, MSG and marinate for about half an hour. Mix with the previous sauce and water, then add one or two eggs.

Mix with appropriate amount of bread crumbs and mix well.

At this time, you can start to prepare the desired meatball flavor.

If you want to eat vegetable meatballs, you can add vegetables to the minced meat. If you want to eat carrot-flavored meatballs, you can add diced carrots, or even potatoes, octopus meat, etc.

After preparing the flavored meat paste, add flour and starch, then heat the oil and put it in the pan.

When putting it in the pot, you need to pinch the meat paste in the palm of your hand, then take it out in your fist, use a spoon to scoop out the appropriate size, put it in the pot one by one and fry it until it floats and the surface is golden and crispy.

It’s out of the pot.

The plate of fried meatballs placed in front of Li Xiao is uniform in size and has a golden skin. From the appearance, it looks similar to the milky chicken rice just now.

He picked one on the plate with his chopsticks, but the first time he picked it up, he accidentally dropped it back onto the plate.

Li Xiao, who failed to pick it up for the first time, simply took out a fork from the cutlery plate and poked one directly into the plate.

A crisp clicking sound sounded under Li Xiao's fork.

"Listening to this sound, it is completely standard for fried products."

Li Xiao showed the poked meatball in front of the camera.

The crispy skin looks golden in color and makes you want to eat it just by looking at it.

Without much hesitation, he put the meatballs on the fork into his mouth.

"The skin is crispy, the inside is soft and glutinous with the crispy oily aroma of bread crumbs, and it is a deep-fried meatball stuffed with potatoes."

"The taste is slightly inferior to the milky chicken rice. The taste of the inner core is lighter and it feels like there is no inner flavor."

From the appearance, the deep-fried meatballs scored 70 to 80 points, but the actual taste lowered the score. Li Xiao couldn't help but secretly feel regretful.

"Maybe it's because this one didn't mix the flavor evenly. Let's try the next one."

Eating more can make a more objective judgment. Li Xiao took out an unused spoon from the cutlery plate, scooped out a spoonful from the meatball plate, and put it on the dinner plate in front of him.

It was said that he scooped out a spoonful. Due to his size, there were only seven or eight spoonfuls, but in fact, Li Xiao could only take three or four in one mouthful.

"It tastes like this one by one and disappears before you can taste it. It's a bit unsatisfactory."

Having said that, Li Xiao continued to poke the next one with his fork.

The same crispy skin with soft and crispy inside, but the difference is that the taste inside is completely different from the first one.

“This meatball tastes like a strong seafood flavor, but I can’t tell exactly which one it belongs to. It may be a mixed seafood flavor.”

The flavor of octopus is the most obvious in the filling, and it even has the signature fishy saltiness of squid, and the taste of tuna actually emerges after tasting it.

"I didn't expect these meatballs to be of assorted flavors." After swallowing the meatballs, Li Xiao put down his fork, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip to let the strong seafood taste in his mouth dissipate.

"I feel the creativity is quite good, but the size makes me lose it before I can taste it. When I want to eat the next one, I find it has a different taste..."

"How to describe it, it's like the kind that just teases and then runs away. It makes people want to stop, but it also makes people feel unsatisfactory."

"Before I even taste the flavor, my taste buds are occupied by the next flavor. I personally don't appreciate this kind of processing."

“The taste and texture are actually pretty good, but compared to the milky chicken rice, it’s not that amazing.”

In order to let the audience in the live broadcast room experience his feelings more intuitively, Li Xiao specially poked the meatballs into his plate with a fork, then cut them open one by one and described their insides to the audience.

"This one is carrot-flavored, this one is cabbage-flavored, and the octopus meat of this one is relatively large, so it may be octopus pellet-flavored..."

"I feel like if I want to fully understand the taste, I need to cut them up one by one and eat them together before I can taste it." Li Xiao said with a bit of a smile on his face when he cut to the back, "The idea is very clever, in this kind of buffet restaurant

Although it says you can eat it this way, it would be more embarrassing if you get a flavor you don’t like.”

"Part of the reason is that I ate so many delicious things in the front and my stomach was full, so I didn't have much appetite after eating."

"But aside from these, objectively speaking, this fried meatball dish can still score 78 points."

The half-and-a-half meatballs lined up on the dinner plate looked too wasteful. Later, Li Xiao could only poke them with a fork and put them in his mouth to eat like a blind box.

"The reason why it didn't get 80 points is because the seasoning combination of the meatballs, which had some flavor inside, wasn't quite flavorful enough, so the points were slightly reduced."

"This fried meatball reminds me of the blind box rice dumplings that the anchor ate at noon today."

"To be honest, I am too. I even have a question. When the anchor eats these fried meatballs, will he get any hidden special prizes inside?"

"You guys upstairs are a bit exaggerated. The anchor's luck is so good. Winning another award is probably unlucky."

"Yes, if the anchor can win another award in this restaurant, I will doubt whether the anchor is paid for advertising."

"It feels like most of the dishes the anchor received in the restaurant received very high ratings. Is it possible that he really took money from the restaurant?"
