“Oil at 70% temperature is typically indicated by a calm surface with a significant amount of green smoke rising. You can also use a chopstick by inserting it into the oil. If you see bubbles quickly forming around the chopstick, it means the oil is at 70% temperature,” Liao Ning explained as she fried the tofu. “If you have a kitchen thermometer at home, it will be more convenient. Once the temperature reaches 160 degrees Celsius, it corresponds to 70% of the oil temperature.”

“Now, we’re only at the first step. The tofu hasn’t been seasoned yet, so we can enjoy the original taste of the tofu. However, you can give it a try. After frying, the original taste is quite delightful.”

Liao Ning took out a bowl. “Now, let me teach you how to prepare a dipping sauce. I believe that when the tofu is paired with this sauce, it becomes incredibly delicious!”

Liao Ning added log of white sesame, 5g of chili noodles, half a spoonful of cumin powder, half a spoonful of white sugar, 26g of soy sauce, 3g of vinegar, crushed coriander, and chopped onions to the bowl.

“Just pour these ingredients into the tofu bowl and mix them well.”

Liao Ning set the tofu aside and proceeded to prepare the next snack.

“Next, we’ll make wavy potatoes. We need to cut the potatoes into strips. I used a wavy blade to create beautiful wavy potato strips, but you can cut them in any shape you prefer. ”

“Along with the potato strips, we’ll also need coriander, green onions, garlic, fresh chili, and various seasonings. Similar to the crispy tofu, we’ll fry the potatoes before seasoning them.” Liao Ning reminded, “But for wavy potatoes, we fry them in cold oil. Don’t forget that step.”

“Before frying the potatoes, wash them with clear water to remove the surface starch. Once the potatoes become soft during frying, you can remove them from the oil. Be careful not to overcook them, as they may become too fragile and difficult to eat.’

“Afterward, take a bowl and add fresh chili powder, garlic powder, chopped scallions, coriander powder, chili powder, and white sesame seeds. Finally, pour hot oil into the bowl and add three spoonfuls of soy sauce, one spoonful of oyster sauce, one spoonful of chicken essence, one spoonful of sesame oil, half a spoonful of vinegar, half a spoonful of white sugar, and one spoonful of cumin powder. Mix everything well and pour the mixture into the bowl with the potatoes. Stir until the potatoes are evenly coated. Your delicious wavy potatoes are now ready!”

Liao Ning took a small bowl of each snack and placed it in front of the camera, activating sensory sharing mode so that the viewers could experience the deliciousness of the snacks. The remaining portions were taken to the living room for everyone to enjoy.

“How does it taste? Do you all like it?” Liao Ning asked as she returned to the camera.

[It smells amazing!]

“It’s delicious. Liao Ning’s dishes are always fantastic!”

[Are these considered snacks? They seem easier to learn compared to other gourmet dishes.]

[Wasn’t there supposed to be a live-stream with the cubs today? I’ve missed them.]

“I missed them too. I didn’t do a live-stream for nearly three days, and I haven’t seen the cubs either.”

Liao Ning smiled. “The cubs are in the living room. Let me call them over to say hello to everyone!”

The cubs quickly appeared and obediently greeted the viewers on the live-stream.

[Oh, I miss the cubs so much!]

[They’re so adorable. Liao Ning has done a great job raising them. Their little faces are too cute!]

[Give Auntie a kiss!]

[Hey, previous poster, let me have a turn!]

[Move aside, move aside. The cub is mine!]

In the subconscious space, Mili complained to Liao Nai, “These uncles and aunties are a bit scary. Thankfully, we’re protected by the screen, or else they would try to touch us until we’re bald!”

Liao Nai found Mili’s words amusing, and a smile appeared on his fair face. The viewers on the live-stream were delighted to see this interaction.

[Why is the cub so incredibly cute!]

[Look, I’ve always said that the cub likes me as an uncle, but you keep insisting on competing with me. Look, the cub is smiling at me right now!]

[Hey, previous commenter, how can you be so sure that the cub is smiling at you? I’m pretty sure the cub is smiling at me! ! ]

The netizens in the live-stream grew more and more excited, engaging in a playful argument about who the cub was smiling at. Liao Ning realized that she needed to regain control of the situation before the screen became overwhelmed with their comments. With a decisive action, she decided to end the live-stream.

“Thank you all for joining me today! I’ll see you next time!”

Without any hesitation, Liao Ning ended the live-stream and silenced the clamor of the unwilling netizens..
