It's worth mentioning that just by using Chen Mo's method to remove the gamey odor from the lamb ribs, then simmering them with milky white lamb soup and refined lamb oil, the aroma alone was enough to intoxicate everyone.

People queuing in front of the food truck each received a rib.

There was basically no meat on these, just a small amount of meat fibers and cartilage on either side of the bone. But everyone in front of the food truck gnawed at the bones like little dogs.

Dunzi inside the truck was green with envy.

"Damn it, I'm hiding inside the truck while you're out there gnawing bones?"

Dunzi wasn't stupid; the person who previously snatched his noodles now had partners with him, and there were six of them. If he got off the truck now, he wouldn't be able to take them.

Even though he was tempted, Dunzi held back and didn't get off the truck.

"I'll definitely get off when Boss Chen finishes cooking the meat!"

Chen Mo glanced at the door and saw that at some point, Xiao Juzi had come out of the driver's cabin. This little fellow seemed quite intelligent, as it would wander around the cabin when it wanted to use the restroom. If it couldn't find a place, it would jump out of the window or something.

"Slurp... slurp..." Chen Mo called Xiao Juzi over and tossed the last bone on the truck to the ground.

Xiao Juzi excitedly hopped towards the bone, picked it up with its mouth, and ran off, acting like a little dog with no trace of a cat's demeanor.

After deboning, the lamb rib meat still needed further processing.

Time to put on the disposable gloves!

Chen Mo cautiously pressed down on the cooked lamb, and meat juice gushed out from the pressure. No exaggeration, even if you ate it directly with leek flower sauce, it would be a genuine hand-held lamb!

Chen Mo resisted the urge to take a bite.

He retrieved a large stainless steel tray, whose edges were about six to seven centimeters high, and placed all the meat on it before flipping it over.

Everyone outside was busy gnawing on bones and not paying attention to him. Chen Mo moved the cutting board into the cabinet along with the food, placing some rather heavy kitchen utensils on top of the tray.

This step is called pressing the meat.

The more common method is to press pork head meat.

For beef, you don't need to press it because beef holds its shape well and can be sliced and seared directly, but that's not the case with lamb.

After closing the cabinet door, the lamb will undergo a rapid cooling process. After a few minutes, Chen Mo took the meat out of the cabinet again.

Removing the iron tray revealed that the lamb beneath had been pressed into a large, square block of meat, with fat and jellied skin on the surface.

These fat and thicker parts were trimmed slightly with a knife, and then he began slicing the meat.

The square meat block was sliced into pieces about seven centimeters long and half a centimeter thick, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, looking incredibly appealing.

The sliced meat was neatly arranged on a bamboo steamer in three rows, and Chen Mo began preparing the seasoning.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyelid twitched, and his gaze fell on the people still gnawing on bones.

The ribs didn't have much meat, yet those people were still gnawing away. Yu Hui was even sucking the bone hard, making loud slurping noises.

Good, no one was paying attention to him.

Chen Mo stopped what he was doing and looked at the words flickering in his mind.

[Skill Seeking (3): As a famous dish in Yu Province, the preparation of Scallion Lamb uses the rare flipping technique from Lu Cuisine. You can choose to use a bamboo steamer to make the dish or try using the flipping technique.]

[Flipping: A unique technique of Lu Cuisine, specifically used for making simmered dishes. It allows the ingredients to stay intact and maintain their shape in the wok.]

[Mission Reward: Black Blade.]

Recent side quests always appeared at weird timing, making it hard for Chen Mo to keep up.

Last time with the stir-fried Niu River noodles, Chen Mo felt he had gained a deep understanding of the art of "stir-frying." Now, he's absolutely confident when it comes to stir-frying dishes.

And this time with flipping...

As Chen Mo reimagined the task in his mind, he had two options: use a bamboo steamer, which is essentially a more straightforward approach.

What do you do if someone at home can't flip the wok?

Then use a bamboo steamer.

Wrap the ingredients in the steamer and simmer them, cook one side first, then use a plate to flip the ingredients over to the other steamer and continue cooking, just like the task suggested. Initially, Chen Mo did plan to do just that.

After all, it was his first time making it, and there was no need to take risks with flipping.

But with the task involved, that's another story!

What is flipping?

Chen Mo delved deeper into the system task in his mind and even played a few flipping clips, suddenly realizing the truth.

Simply put, flipping involves tossing the ingredients in the wok with a peculiar angle, flipping them in mid-air, and letting them fall back into the wok. After returning to the wok, the ingredients stay intact and in their original state.

"No wonder when I went to Shandong last time, after ordering a bunch of dishes, the chef came out from the back kitchen to meet me."

At that time, Chen Mo ordered braised tofu, braised veggies, tri-flavored tofu skin, and five-spice braised beef, finishing with a dish of braised fish head.

Now that I think about it, all these dishes require large-scale flipping techniques... and repeated flipping at that.

Well, better be careful when ordering next time, too many of these dishes might get me into trouble.

But then again, apart from Shandong, in Guangdong and Jiangnan areas, which other places have chefs cooking authentic meals?

A genuine chef is basically just a microwave and a pair of scissors.

"Of course, I'll opt for using the large flipping technique, who would bother with that lousy trick like using a bamboo steamer?"

Chen Mo swiftly places the arranged meat slices into the plate, then throws the bamboo steamer into the cabinet.

He decided resolutely not to use it!

However, he didn't dare to put the lamb directly into the wok, so he transferred the lamb broth from earlier into another pot, then placed the black wok down, pretending to wash it, while actually cleaning it in the cabinet.

Meanwhile...

"Let's turn it into a single-handled wok..."

When Chen Mo opened the cabinet and took out the black wok again, it was now a single wooden-handled frying pan, with a diameter of about fifty centimeters, just right for making simmered dishes.

If it were any larger, with Chen Mo's arm strength, he might not be able to flip it.

"No rush to cook the meat, let's test with something else to get the feel first."

Chen Mo began handling some ingredients, learning the flipping technique.

If those few people outside knew what he was doing, they'd probably be dumbfounded. What kind of chef learns techniques on the fly while cooking?

It's completely unreasonable.

On the other hand, policeman Liu Yang was feeling troubled. His original plan was just to figure out how to stall this band of thieves and then catch them all in one go to eliminate future troubles.

He didn't expect these guys would actually plan to just wait around to PK with Dunzi, and even wait to eat the meat.

"Looks like I'll need to figure out a way to make these guys take action themselves."

When Liu Yang saw Chen Mo starting to handle ingredients, he came up with a new plan!
