Chapter 210

Both are fish ball soups, so someone inevitably asks why make two—

Jiang Qiuqiu proceeds to handle tomatoes while discussing the textures of the two types of fish balls.

Fish balls are derived from river seafood, processed to remove any fishy taste and then mixed with tapioca flour to enhance flavor, resulting in a delightful chewy and smooth texture when bitten into.

“For the fresh fish ball soup, we won’t add too many seasonings. High heat brings out the freshness to its fullest, seasoned lightly with a bit of salt and accompanied by some greens, creating a refreshing soup.”

“Now, the tomato fish ball soup we’re making has richer ingredients compared to the fresh fish ball soup. The broth remains rich and savory, but with an added tanginess from the tomatoes that enhances the natural sweetness of the fish balls, creating a unique flavor profile.”

She said, and poured boiling water over the tomatoes in the bowl. The skins that were originally attached easily peeled off, revealing the red flesh inside.

Jiang Qiuqiu took out a cutting board, placed the tomatoes on it, and swiftly diced them with her knife. Soon, the round tomatoes were diced into small pieces. Besides tomatoes, Jiang Qiuqiu also cut a few carrots, some corn, mushrooms, and other ingredients.

[Ah, there’s already a slightly sour taste before it even goes into the pot…]

“This is the natural taste of tomatoes.”

With the ingredients prepared, Jiang Qiuqiu turned on the fire under the stove. The orange-yellow oil instantly fell into the pot, followed by slices of green onion and garlic. After a brief fragrant release, the diced tomatoes were added.

The tomatoes initially maintained their diced shape in the pot, but soon, under the influence of high heat, the ripe vegetables gradually softened. As they were stirred, the juices from the vegetables began to flow out slowly, and the tomatoes simmered slightly, revealing their orange-yellow color.

Jiang Qiuqiu took advantage of the hot pot to add the other ingredients. Soon, under the heat, the pot started bubbling and simmering, intensifying the sour and fragrant flavors!

Different from the strong acidity of sour cabbage fish, the taste of tomato sauce was more refined yet not lacking in richness.

[What an enticing color!]

[I feel like this nutrient-rich broth must be delicious…]

The soup gradually thickened. Jiang Qiuqiu poured in a basin of clear water and then threw in the scooped-out fish balls.

The dense fish balls instantly sank to the bottom of the pot. Jiang Qiuqiu covered the pot, and the last shot given by the camera robot was of the white fish balls sinking into the tomato soup, gradually taking on a vibrant orange-red hue.

[!!! This lid is blocking my view of observing my dish!]

[I feel like this tomato fish ball soup is already my meal!!!]

[Using tomatoes to make meatballs is really amazing. When it was first introduced by the Agricultural Research Institute, I bought it for raw consumption… I feel this is the only dish that tastes good when eaten raw!]

Jiang Qiuqiu was brushing oil onto the flat-bottomed pan when she saw the fan’s comment. She responded with a nod and casually picked up a tomato from the nearby tray to show it to the audience.

“This is indeed a rare fruit available in Taotao Fresh that can be eaten directly.”

She wiped the skin of the tomato, and then the red fruit disappeared from the screen. A faint chewing sound could be heard, and shortly after, Jiang Qiuqiu commented, “When you take a bite, the flesh is slightly grainy with a mild acidity, but the texture is really good.”

“It pairs well with something a bit heavier to balance the flavors.”

[Is Jiang Jiujiu talking about pairing it with nutrient solution?]

[Will it make the nutrient solution taste less bad?]

Nutrient solution? This unfamiliar term, triggering a not-so-pleasant memory, made Jiang Qiuqiu’s expression stiffen. She cleared her throat twice, “No no no, let’s not pair it with nutrient solution. It’s probably quicker to just drink it straight.”

“I meant pairing it with something slightly oily, like this pan-fried fish ball.”
