Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 427 - 446: What the Heck, Why Cook With ’Butt

The Gugu Beast meat she chose today was different from usual. Although it had some white, fatty parts, there was very little fat, so it didn’t look like the belly cut.

Everyone was very curious about which cut it was.

Curiosity led to questions, and someone asked: [Wow! Why isn’t Juju telling us what cut of Gugu Beast she’s using today?]

[Is it from the front leg or the tenderloin!!]

At that moment, Jiang Qiuqiu was using the back of her knife to tenderize the meat. "This fan has a sharp eye. Today’s star ingredient is indeed not the belly cut."

"To make Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork, I’ve selected meat from the Gugu Beast’s rump—"

[The rump?!]

[Rump... as in... is that what I think it is???]

[...]

[Today... are we eating butt today?]

[What butt?] A fan who hadn’t been paying close attention to the comments zoned back in to find the screen filled with the word "butt."

Jiang Qiuqiu had only mentioned it casually. She hadn’t expected such a huge reaction, especially since back in the 21st century, eating organ meat was common, and plenty of people loved it.

Also, why was it that when she called it "rump," it felt perfectly normal, but seeing the two words "butt meat"...

Hmm?

Jiang Qiuqiu’s expression cracked for a moment.

"Alright, hold on, hold on. Everyone’s focus is in the wrong place."

She held up the piece of meat she had just tenderized. "A pig only has two of these cuts. It’s tender, and when you use it to make sweet and sour pork, the result is fragrant, smooth, and refreshing. The texture is fine, and the sweet and sour flavor is delicious."

These were advantages that other cuts of meat didn’t have.

[But... it’s butt, though?]

[Even though it sounds really delicious, it’s still a butt.]

...

’Alright, there’s no getting through to them.’

Jiang Qiuqiu decided to stop arguing the point and moved on to the next step. "After the meat has been tenderized, we can cut it into chunks."

"For Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork, you need to cut the meat into large pieces, about this big. Once it’s all cut, we’ll get a bowl and add soy sauce, the pepper powder we made before, some cooking wine, and salt. Then we’ll let it marinate for a little while."

"While it’s marinating, we’ll start washing the rice. This is another dish that goes great with rice."

Washing the rice and cooking it was a quick process. After plugging in the rice steamer, Jiang Qiuqiu grabbed a handful of greens. "I recently found some new baby greens on Taotao Fresh."

"These tender little greens just need a quick stir-fry to taste great. For anyone who wants to cook at home, this is an easy one to learn."

The greens cooked quickly. After she finished stir-frying them, the meat still wasn’t done marinating. She took out the pineapple and set it aside, then pulled a bird’s egg and a bowl of flour from the lower cabinet.

What followed was a short waiting period.

The comments flew across the screen, and Jiang Qiuqiu finally had time to respond to them.

[Juju, will this dish really be good?]

"You can try it for yourself and see."

[Why do you have to use rump for this dish, WAHHH.]

Some people still couldn’t get over it and kept asking why she had to use rump. Others were just there for the show; they didn’t care what cut was used but had a great time spamming "butt meat" in the comments. It made Jiang Qiuqiu facepalm before she said, "It’s all meat from a Gugu Beast. There’s no hierarchy between the different parts."

"It’s all delicious."

The marinating time was up. Soon, Jiang Qiuqiu began the next step. She cracked a few eggs into the marinated meat and mixed thoroughly, making sure every piece was coated in a thin layer of egg wash.

At first, the audience didn’t know what this was for, but when they saw Jiang Qiuqiu take out the meat chunks and start dredging them in flour, they understood.

—Oh! Egg wash, flour, then into the fryer! That’s the stuff that’ll make the kid next door bawl!

Everyone started asking if she was going to make something deep-fried again.

[Awesome food!]

[Nothing deep-fried ever tastes bad!]

[To the person above, please add a prefix! The things JUJU deep-fries! Nothing she deep-fries ever tastes bad!!]

The crowd went wild, chattering back and forth, which made the folks in the neighboring streams die of curiosity.

Ever since the stream started, all they had seen in the shared stream room were the following comments, flashing by in a loop.

[Yummy, yummy, it looks so yummy!]

[Butt meat, butt meat, why is it butt meat!]

[Yummy, yummy, so delicious!]

[Butt meat, butt meat, butt meat]

...

So, what on earth was the streamer next door even making?

Was the food exceptionally bizarre just because her thumbnail was so different?
