That's right, it's Luosifen!
Although Luosifen has a unique fermented pickled cabbage smell due to the sour bamboo shoots, it perfectly complements its wonderful and distinctive texture, leaving a lasting impression!
Among thousands of snacks, Luosifen, nestled in its corner, has managed to thrive amidst fierce competition and even stand out. The reason for this is its striking contrast!
This is also why stinky tofu has endured.
As the intense flavor of the octopus balls began to fade, so did the strong stimulation.
The body instinctively craved this contrast, compelling Zhang Wei to pick up another ball and pop it into his mouth!
"Stimulating!"
One ball after another.
Only after finishing all the octopus balls did Zhang Wei lick his lips, still wanting more.
Bold creativity, if not handled with care, can easily backfire.
"For the Red-Haired monster to cook in such a manner, he must have absolute confidence in himself! And complete faith in his culinary skills."
His initial remarks to the bald muscle man were, as it turned out, merely humility and a bit of mischievous fun.
This guy's culinary skills were far superior to what was imagined!
The bald muscle man's eyes were filled with enjoyment and the excitement of facing a strong opponent, tinged with a hint of apprehension for the unknown.
"This dish is on par with mine!"
The Red-Haired monster grinned, "What nonsense are you spouting? You have only a plate of meatballs, while I have nine flavors. Even if we aren't meant to be compared, I am nine times better than you."
The bald muscle man asked, "But you've merely swapped out the side dishes. Do your nine flavors correspond to nine different stories?"
It was no different from changing an apple orchard to a grape vineyard.
Overall, it was still about using the sweet and sour flavors as a contrast to make the taste of the cuttlefish balls more pronounced.
The Red-Haired monster hesitated, "This..."
Indeed, it was not.
Although there were nine optional flavors, the approach was the same. It was hardly nine times more advanced than the muscle gym.
However, even so, this fruit-infused rice dish was still an incredibly brilliant culinary creation!
The Long-Bearded Immortal slowly stood up, stroking his beard thoughtfully.
With a slight raise of his hand, the blue-ringed octopus's shell fell away, and its skin was cut open!
The delicate tentacles were severed, and upon opening them...
They were hollow!
There was nothing inside, only the thin outer layer of skin remaining.
"As I suspected, you used the flesh from the octopus legs... but you must have added a unique treatment."
The Red-Haired monster nodded.
He produced a peculiar syringe-like device.
It had a spiral structure, resembling a meat grinder.
"What is this? A meatball maker?"
The Red-Haired monster replied, "In a way, yes."
But the balls were not molded.
He opened the dropper, revealing minced octopus meat. Strictly speaking, these balls were not made of meat.
They were extracted, elastic collagen!
The octopus leg meat was ground in the dropper and heated to extract its oils and protein mucus. To increase stickiness, the Red-Haired monster had also added other edible gels.
Such as pig skin, donkey hide, and beans.
This not only enriched the texture but also provided more comprehensive nutrition.
Next was the unfrozen cold water, a type of liquid ice produced from glaciers.
Even in temperatures tens of degrees below zero, it maintained its liquid state!
Furthermore, unfrozen cold water was naturally extremely cold and as light as a feather, offering almost no resistance.
"Three thousand streams of weak water, a goose feather sinks!"
The gel dripped from the pipe and rapidly solidified upon contact with the cold water. The rapid transition from one degree to minus seventy degrees made the exterior of the gel tough and elastic, without the rubbery texture of trotters.
Thus, it formed that forbidden textural sensation.
To be honest!
Zhang Wei had broken through that barrier many times!
However, a young man focused on his career wouldn't dwell too much on romantic entanglements.
