"Senior Brother, are we starting now?"
Lin Xu watched as Xie Baomin placed the wok on the stove and deliberately came closer to observe and learn.
The ingredients for this dish weren't complicated and were all common in the kitchen. The only one used in a larger quantity was fresh ginger. It was all cut into sieve-like pieces, roughly a small bowlful, resembling diced potatoes.
"Do we need this much ginger?"
Lin Xu was curious.
Xie Baomin poured a bit more vegetable oil into the wok than usual for stir-frying, then added some warm water to a bowl containing dry Sichuan peppercorns, completely soaking them.
He said with a smile, "Pigeon meat tends to have a gamey smell, so we use ginger to suppress the unusual odors in the meat. Moreover, despite the large amount of ginger, it isn't very noticeable when you eat it."
Whoa, is this some kind of advanced technique or hardcore method?
Lin Xu didn't ask any more questions but watched intently.
