"How's it?" Qin Huai asked.
"Tasty, but not as good as the last one." Qin Luo chewed carefully, showing a pensive expression, "It feels less delicate in texture, and not as meaty."
"No, it's not that it's not meaty, it's just not as fragrant as before, that one had such a fragrant meat flavor."
Qin Luo wasn't very clear in her expression, but Qin Huai already understood.
Soaking in starch water can greatly enhance the meat filling itself, but this enhancement assumes the meat filling is already scoring sufficiently high.
For example, if the meat filling is 60 points, a 10% boost raises it to 66 points. But if the meat filling is 100 points, a 10% boost takes it to 110 points.
Cao Guixiang's masterful knife skills give a very high base score to the meat filling, and after soaking in starch water, it undergoes a complete transformation.
Conclusion: Shortcuts are not advisable, just practice more cooking.
