Capítulo 41: Chapter 40: Pan-Fried Honey Ribs
The blood and juices from the center of the rib would seep out through the muscle fibers and gaps, spreading beyond the steak during this process.
Once rested, the interior of the rib would still be a tender pink color, juicy and flavorful without any raw meat odor.
Ribs were not steaks, but their preparation methods were similar, and they also required resting to ensure consistent texture throughout.
After approximately five minutes of resting, the rib on the side had released a considerable amount of blood and juices. The blood dripped down onto the small plate beneath the metal sieve, and the surface of the rib turned slightly darker due to the combination of blood and the deep brown meat.
Qi Han estimated the extent of resting and used tongs to return the rib to the skillet. After quickly searing both sides, he removed the gamey smell from the blood and transferred the rib to a serving plate. He poured the hot oil from the skillet onto the rib, removed the sprigs of rosemary and deodorizing fern, which served as garnish, and sprinkled some black pepper.
And thus, a plate of honey-glazed grilled ribs was ready.
The preparation of this dish followed the pure Western cooking style, and it naturally required the use of a knife and fork.
With the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right, Qi Han cut off a small piece of the rib and placed it into his mouth.
The surface of the rib was seared to perfection, with a deep brown color mixed with the light yellow of the hot oil. The aroma of fruit and meat intertwined, while the center remained tender and juicy. With each bite, the succulent meat juices flowed, providing a complex and rich flavor experience.
It was truly astonishing and worthy of acclaim!
Soon, the rib on the plate diminished until it disappeared completely.
Qi Han touched his satisfied stomach and belatedly remembered something.
"System, what was the score for this recipe?"
[63 points.]
"That seems a bit low," Qi Han frowned slightly. "The maximum score is out of 100, right?"
[Yes.]
"But I truly feel that it is much better than a two-star recipe."
[When you make something yourself and find it delicious, there is a psychological bias that affects your objective evaluation of the recipe. The evaluation criteria for Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs are as follows:]
[Taste (out of 40 points): 37 points
Originality of ingredients (out of 20 points): 15 points
Originality of preparation method (out of 20 points): 4 points
Cooking difficulty (out of 20 points): 7 points
Total: 63 points]
Looking at the detailed scoring criteria provided by the system, Qi Han was momentarily at a loss for words.
The taste of this dish was indeed excellent, which is why the system awarded it a score close to the maximum. However, there were several areas where points were deducted.
Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs followed a cooking method similar to grilling steaks on Earth. Hence, it was commendable to receive four points for originality of the preparation method.
As for cooking difficulty, Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs was even easier than making Egg Fried Rice. Fried rice required constant stirring, while the ribs only needed precise control of the heat, with no other significant challenges.
Receiving seven points for cooking difficulty was truly the system showing some leniency.
Regarding the originality of ingredients, apart from rosemary, all the other ingredients in this recipe were sourced from the Kalei Forest, which earned it a good score of fifteen points.
Alright.
Qi Han scratched his head.
Clearly, this score was not satisfactory to him. Therefore, he would need to put even more effort into the two recipes he planned to create using brain flower and pork intestines.
Although Honey-Glazed Grilled Ribs took a full four days, most of that time was spent hunting honey badgers outside the system space. For the next two recipes, as the ingredients were already prepared, he would not need to leave the system space.
With the time flow rate at thirty times normal speed, Qi Han was confident that he could complete the remaining two recipes within two days without any problems.
