In the kitchen, Zhu Yong watched Lin Xu enter and asked curiously, "I've seen some chefs simmer the seasoning sauce when making Spicy Chicken. Don't we need to do that now?"
Lin Xu lifted the pot lid and said with a smile, "We have to wait until the chicken is cooked because the seasoning sauce needs the original stock... Oh, Zhu Yong, a cold front is likely coming in a few days. You should make some Lotus Root stewed with Pork Ribs. Everyone can eat and sip the soup to their heart's content."
"Sure, no problem."
For someone from Hubei, making Lotus Root stewed with Pork Ribs was as simple as drinking water.
The chicken in the pot was still simmering gently.
Actually, to improve the color, one could add a couple of smashed gardenia fruits or Curcuma powder, but I feel it's unnecessary for our own enjoyment. Using gardenia fruit to color the broth seems like a lack of confidence in the ingredients.
Good ingredients don't need any superfluous additions.
