Chapter 492: Scrambling out of the Second Place (4)

Han Zhiling and Qin Jiahao gaped at the revelation. They were both surprised that Lu Xinyi was able to tweak the usual recipe for the tempura batter. Both wonder at the extent this woman could improve one's dish without guidance.

"But why Japanese mayonnaise?" Qin Jiahao expressed everyone's curiosity.

Lu Xinyi opened her right hand, revealing her palm to everyone as she explained the reason behind it.

"I used Japanese mayonnaise as a special ingredient to make sure the batter stays crispy and fresh. There's also a science behind it. Eggs are usually used to make the batter, but this often makes the tempura very oily and soggy. However, by using mayonnaise instead of egg, the emulsified oil from the mayo disperses into the batter which doesn't leave any moisture in the batter so the tempura stays deliciously crispy.
