[Liaoning is amazing! ]

[Why do I have a feeling that Liaoning is up to something mischievous? But I’m loving it! I can’t wait to see how many big shots are willing to abandon their fans for a taste of delicious food!]

[I’m so excited! I want to join the hunt for big shots!]

The live-streamer, Sky, who had been sneakily observing the screen, couldn’t contain his excitement any longer and discreetly sent a private message to Liaoning.

Liaoning promptly received the private message and grinned with delight. “Someone sent me a private message! Alright, let’s get down to business and start today’s lesson!”

[Who could it be that messaged the live-streamer? Maybe it’s the big boss of the sky! He was the first one mentioned, after all.]

[Haha! Caught you peeping at the screen and neglecting your fans, huh? @Brother Sky, my heart is broken!]

Liaoning immediately got into character and began explaining to the online viewers and the apprentices present, “Technically speaking, tempura is a type of deep-fried dish coated in batter. It can be made with various ingredients as long as they can be fried.”

“The ingredients I’m using today were all freshly bought by the hotel. We have silver fish, prawns, okra, mushrooms, colorful peppers, loog of all-purpose flour, and eggs.”

After introducing the ingredients for the day, Liaoning proceeded to prepare the batter.

He added 150g of ice water to a bowl containing loog of low-gluten flour, then cracked an egg into it and mixed everything evenly. The special tempura batter was now ready.

Liaoning offered a reminder, “It’s important to use low-gluten flour for the batter. Unlike the sticky batter used for crispy fried snacks, tempura batter should only enhance the crispiness of the ingredients after frying, so it shouldn’t be too sticky.”

[If Liaoning hadn’t reminded me, I would’ve used regular flour.]

[I thought it was the same as usual.]

[I only have regular flour at home, so I’ll make do with it for now and learn the process. Later, I’ll buy some low-gluten flour to make it properly.]

“Now, let’s take a portion of the batter we just mixed and fry it.”

Liaoning scooped a spoonful of batter and fried it in hot oil. The batter quickly solidified into small, thin pieces due to the high temperature.

“This is the batter. If it turns into small, thin pieces, you can remove them from the oil and keep them in a small bowl as a backup.”

Liaoning brought out a slightly yellow cloth. “Next, we’ll layer the ingredients.

Start with a base of sinew, followed by flour and layers of batter. Finally, we’ll wrap the ingredients in a freshly fried cloth. Then, we’ll fry the wrapped ingredients in a pot.”

“For meat, it needs to be fried until golden before removing it. If it’s taken out too early, the meat inside won’t be fully cooked, which isn’t good for your health.” After frying the small silver fish and prawns, Liaoning proceeded to fry the vegetables. ‘With vegetables, simply fry until the surface turns yellow.”

Liaoning placed a freshly fried tempura in front of the camera and distributed one to the apprentices. “Everyone, give it a try. I’ll activate sensory sharing mode.”

[I didn’t see the two cubs today. Who is Liaoning talking to?]

[That’s right. I almost forgot to ask. When I joined the live-stream, I realized it wasn’t the usual location where Liaoning used to stream. Did Liaoning change the streaming location?]

[There are so many kitchen utensils here, and the place looks very spacious.]

Sensing the curiosity from the audience, Liaoning didn’t leave them hanging and directly responded, “This is the hotel I invested in. I’m currently streaming from the hotel’s kitchen. Earlier, during the stream, I was also teaching the future chefs of the hotel.”

[Wait! So, this hotel not only offers accommodation but also serves delicious food?!]

[Oh my god! Where is this hotel? I have to visit!]

[So, this means I finally have a chance to taste Liaoning’s delicacies in person?]

[A long time ago, the hotel used to offer three meals a day. However, due to the loss of many recipes from ancient food culture, the hotel gradually shifted its focus solely to providing accommodation]

The person who posted this instant comment was a netizen with the username Liu Yun. Initially, Liaoning sensed that this user had extensive knowledge. It wasn’t until other netizens referred to them as Liu Yun that Liaoning realized Liu Yun was the prominent figure who frequently watched her cooking delicacies during live-streams.

Liaoning smiled and responded, “Look who we’ve discovered! It’s our esteemed guest, Liu Yun. Don’t forget to send me your address through a private message.. I’ll make sure to send you today’s batch of tempura!”
