Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country

Chapter 751: Chapter 643: You Absolutely Have to Show Off Your New Year’s Eve Dinner!

Good news, the New Year’s Eve dinner is a lavish feast worthy of a gourmand.

Bad news, the lavish feast belongs to someone else; you can see it but can’t eat it.

Keep watching, and you’ll find your mouth watering uncontrollably. But if you don’t watch, you’ll regret it—it’s the perfect mix of pain and pleasure.

However, some people have discovered that watching while cooking along can really elevate the quality of their New Year’s Eve dinner, especially the homemade dipping sauce being made right now, which is noticeably different from others.

Dipping sauces are quite commonly used in Chinese cuisine, accompanying various meats and seafood. The most frequently used ingredients are typically scallions, garlic, ginger, and vinegar, but Wang Fan uses a lot more ingredients.

Can’t learn other things, but surely learning how to make the Soul Juice isn’t that hard?

So when he started preparing the ingredients, many viewers rushed into their kitchens to quickly prepare the same ingredients as Wang Fan.

Many mothers looked on in bewilderment as their kids, like little wild boars, charged into the kitchen: "What are you doing, it’s not time to eat yet!"

"I just learned a dipping sauce recipe, tonight we’re using my sauce!"

Everyone spoke confidently and proudly, as if they could already see the amazed looks on their family’s faces at dinner.

"What’s the dipping sauce for? We don’t even have dishes that use dipping sauce!"

"It doesn’t matter, with my Soul Sauce, there has to be a dish that uses it! Don’t disturb me, I’m doing it now!"

Garlic, onion, apple, tomato, hot chili, cilantro stems, minced ginger, chopped scallion whites, and white sesame seeds—these nine common ingredients can be found in almost every household.

Four tablespoons of soy sauce, two tablespoons of rice vinegar, two tablespoons of sesame oil, three teaspoons of sugar, two teaspoons of salt, and one teaspoon of MSG—anyone could follow the steps.

After mixing it well, they watched Wang Fan take the lamb out of the pot and start slicing it.

The lamb was basically blanched, with white fat over pale pink lean meat. The lean meat had a clear and compact texture, looking clean and healthy.

Placing the lamb on the chopping board, with stable and swift knife movements, slices with transverse patterns appeared on the board.

With a swift move of the knife along the board, the sliced lamb was placed on a nearby plate.

Though the lamb on the plate wasn’t arranged neatly, the thin slices themselves were like the most beautiful scenery.

The lean pink meat was sliced completely, with little fat and a few transparent sinews in between. Wang Fan placed a few small flowers on the plate as decoration, completing a simple yet appetizing lamb in dipping sauce.

After it’s done, of course, a taste test is necessary to avoid ruining the meal with too much or too little seasoning. Taking out a small bowl, he scooped a spoonful of sauce into it, then picked up a piece of lamb and dipped it in.

The originally pink lamb was soaked in the sauce, turning slightly reddish-brown, thanks to the soy sauce, which made the texture of the lamb even more distinct.

With sesame seeds, chopped scallions, apple bits, minced ginger, and more clinging to the lamb, just looking at it made one’s mouth water uncontrollably.

By this time, fans who had prepared the sauce picked up their phones, marveling, "It’s just one dish, yet it’s tantalized me twice! The blanched version brings out the meat’s natural beauty, while the sauce gives it an irresistible allure."

"I can almost smell the aroma of rice vinegar through the screen, and my mouth is watering deep down my throat."

"I strongly recommend everyone try out Boss Wang’s sauce! Usually, my cooking skills are limited to instant noodles, but I just followed along with this and tried it with a piece of my mother’s freshly sliced pig’s head. My goodness, the taste can’t be put into words. Usually, if I can eat half a pound of meat, with this sauce, it boosts to at least a pound and a half!"

"It’s really that good! I just made it too, and the taste with blanched shrimp was absolutely amazing."

"It is delicious, but this sauce has a fatal flaw—it really makes you consume a lot of meat! My dad just complained I was messing around, but now he’s happily eating beef shank dipped in the sauce."

The fans didn’t know each other, but their conversation was lively. Even though Wang Fan hadn’t said a word in the live stream, it didn’t stop them from discussing and sharing enthusiastically.

When Wang Fan started stir-frying, their urge to chat grew even stronger, as if they had been great friends for a long time.

"Time to serve the dishes, goodbye everyone, happy New Year, may you have good health and delicious feasts."

This was Wang Fan’s first and only sentence that night, and after saying it, the live stream screen went dark.

The fans, left wanting more, didn’t disperse; they went straight to Wang Fan’s Weibo to continue chatting.

"Time to serve the dishes, dig in!"

Liu Hehe shouted as he rushed into the kitchen, grabbed two plates, and hurried back out. Liu Zhaofeng and Zhou Ruoqing followed him, each carrying two plates outside.

The three elders were already setting up bowls, chopsticks, tables, and chairs. Though it was three families, it felt harmonious and joyful.

One by one, the enticing dishes were placed on the table, quickly filling up the large round table.

After the fresh and luscious dipping sauce dish was placed, seven out of eight people, excluding Wang Fan, performed the same action.

Seven phones were instantly pulled out, with photography and video recording modes fully engaged, even adjusting slightly for the best angles, making Wang Fan, the only one without a phone, look a bit out of place.
