Jiang Tang had eaten farmed wild boar meat in his previous life, and there was a noticeable difference in taste compared to regular domestic pork.
Wild boar meat is far superior to other pork available on the market. It is high in protein, low in fat and rich in vitamins.
If not handled properly by the chef, wild boar meat can have a fishy smell and tough texture.
However, when prepared by a skilled chef, wild boar meat will be rich in flavor and overflowing with meat aroma. The fat is tender and not greasy. The skin is thick but tastes crispy and refreshing. The bone soup has a unique fragrance and umami. It is clear and not greasy after drinking, leaving a refreshing aroma.
Jiang Tang was of course a top chef.
The group brought the wild boar back home, or to be more precise, the wild boar that was subdued by Wen Renyuan the cat.
Jiang Tang decided that he would make braised wild boar meat today to comfort his wounded heart.
After teaching Lu Rongming how to process the pork, Jiang Tang selected a large piece of fat and lean wild boar meat and started a live stream.
The wild boar clearly looked like it had exercised often, with very firm meat.
Jiang Tang cut the wild boar meat into evenly sized cubes, adding them along with ginger slices into clean water. He then turned the heat to high, bringing the water to a boil, and after skimming off the scum, he took out the meat and cleaned it.
[I know! This step is called blanching. It’s used to remove the fishy smell from the meat!]
[The streamer also did this step when making braised chicken wings before…]
[What is Tang Tang making today?]
Jiang Tang chuckled at one of the eager responses in the comments, “That’s right. This student jesssy is doing great and even learned to answer quickly!”
“Today we’re making braised pork. We’re starting with blanching to get rid of the wild boar’s fishy smell.”
Jiang Tang heated the oil in the pan again. When it was hot, he added rock sugar and stir-fried it until it melted into a date-red color.
Next, he added the meat, quickly stir-frying it to coat the wild boar meat evenly with the sugar color. The previously white meat now had a shiny syrup coating, becoming translucent and very tempting.
He added a few slices of ginger to the pan and stir-fried them until fragrant.
As the aroma wafted through the air, the fans began to drool.
Watching the streamer cook every time was really a mix of happiness and suffering. The happiness came from seeing the streamer’s fluid movements and a beauty showing his cooking skills, while the suffering was naturally from smelling the delicious scents of natural food before the dish was even finished. They could only swallow their saliva quietly and wait patiently for the streamer to complete the dish.
In the end, they could only savor the taste without actually being able to eat it.
Thinking of this, the fans felt like crying, tears flowing from the corners of their mouths.
Jiang Tang added light soy sauce and a bit of dark soy sauce to the pan, stirring it again. The color of the wild boar meat shifted from light brown to dark brown.
Just as Jiang Tang was about to add beer to the meat, he remembered that there was no beer in the interstellar world. He sighed regretfully and opted for a splash of coke instead.
For the final step, Jiang Tang covered the pot with a lid, using high heat to reduce the sauce until thickened. The braised meat was complete.
Jiang Tang gently poked one piece of the braised meat with his chopsticks. The meat had become tender and soft, with the glossy sauce oozing out.
“Soft, glutinous, fragrant, and fatty but not greasy. Please enjoy the braised meat.”
Jiang Tang playfully winked at the camera.
The camera timely zoomed in on the piece of braised meat that Jiang Tang picked up with his chopsticks. The square piece of wild boar meat was bright red in color, fragrant and mouthwatering.
Ah, taking a bite brought a unique texture and flavor!
[So this is what they mean by fat but not greasy! I think I finally understand!]
[I get it too!]
[Wow, it’s so delicious, so delicious!]
Jiang Tang: …
He had forgotten that the interstellar people didn’t know how to eat natural food. They probably hadn’t even eaten much of fatty meat before, so they certainly wouldn’t understand what “fat but not greasy” meant…
Now, Jiang Tang looked at them as if they were a group of poor souls who had never tasted delicious food during a famine.
The fans noticed Jiang Tang’s expression suddenly becoming… kind?
…It must be their illusion!
Jiang Tang kindly reminded, “If you find it a bit greasy, you can eat it with rice. Mixing the sauce with rice is also great. Everyone should give it a try.”
He poured the braised meat sauce over the rice and mixed it slightly, making each grain of rice glisten with the bright sauce. Jiang Tang divided the bowl of rice into two portions and gave them to the two fluffy animals beside him to have them eat first.
Wen Renyuan clearly preferred the meat. He devoured it quickly with his head down. On the other hand, Lin Yucang leaned toward the rice mixed with sauce.
Regardless, both fluffy creatures were very satisfied with the meal, especially under the watchful eyes of countless envious fans in the live stream room. The meal seemed even more delicious!
In the Imperial Capital Star, Lin Miaomiao sputtered out a mouthful of nutrient solution.
The school confiscated her lightbrain some time ago. Today, she finally got to rest at home to watch Tang Tang’s live stream. Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar figure in the live stream room.
That white fox eating rice elegantly was her own brother, the famous imperial film emperor, Lin Yucang, right?!
Good job! How did he get there? She was the one who had told him about Tang Tang’s live stream!
Lin Miaomiao savored the taste of the braised meat in her mouth, but felt upset that she couldn’t eat any. She then looked at the nutrient solution in her hand.
…She hugged herself in distress!
Did those fans know that the one who was mooching off food at the little streamer’s house and making them jealous was their very own male god…!
Jiang Tang prepared a few simple dishes, creating a balanced meal of meat and vegetables.
Looking at the family gathered around the dining table, it felt more like home now, even though there were more people than before.
“Jiang Bai, what are you doing here? Come, come, I’ll show you my hidden little streamer!”
Jiang Bai felt impatient inside and rolled his eyes secretly, but managed to put on a sweet smile. “What streamer? Brother Sen, do you like watching live streams? I do too…”
When he finally saw the exquisite face in the live stream room, Jiang Bai’s smile froze in place, looking even more forced.
“Jiang Tang?!”
Jiang Bai’s eyes widened in shock. How could it be him!
Oho, the scum appeared again!
