Just like last time, four dishes, a soup, and a dessert, but the portions have to be increased this time.
Having Tong Sanlang as her assistant, Qiao Xiaomai quickly got to work.
This time she decided to make something new: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
As the name suggests, it's a dish so tempting that even a Buddha would be compelled to jump over a wall.
Of course, the ingredients are equally tempting.
The traditional Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish uses dozens of ingredients, but Bailu Town has its limitations. However, that pales in comparison to the use of water from the Spiritual Spring. Just a dozen ingredients are enough to astonish the locals.
Her method was simple; she layered pre-prepared abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, bamboo shoots, tendons, chicken, mushrooms, pork, and fish maw one by one in a jar over two feet tall. Then she added the rich soup previously boiled with Spiritual Spring water at home and placed it on the stove to simmer over low heat.
