Aunt Tian's wife told reporters, "Auntie is a chef at home, and she has to cook for her family every day, especially our Shaanxi farm dishes are particularly delicious, such as dough, dough, fish and fish are the family's favorites, and many of our friends also come to eat at home." ”
The home version of steamed sea bass was recognized by the judges

In three minutes, the delicious sea bass is snatched up. "When I cleaned up the pot and stove just now, several residents asked me how to make fish, and said that I would learn to make it when I went home." Wang Yali said that the fish she bought in the afternoon of the same day, marinated in the household salt, green onion and ginger and cooking wine for 20 minutes in advance, then steamed for 8 minutes, and finally poured with a special sauce and shredded green onion and ginger with hot oil to splash it, "Usually our family eats this dish twice a week, my family and I like to eat it very much, maybe we have done more to find the skill, so everyone likes it." ”
Facing the professional comments of the on-site judge Shi Lei, Aunt Wang listened carefully on the side. "Steamed sea bass is from Cantonese cuisine, mainly to highlight the umami and original taste of the fish itself, and add a little sauce to enhance the taste of the dish." Shi Lei said that Aunt Wang's dishes are very good overall, and he can easily pierce the back of the fish with chopsticks, indicating that the time for the fish to steam is just right, and the bursting fish eyes also indicate that the fish is very fresh, and the next time it is made with a little less oil, it will be more perfect.
The old cellar noodle fried oil cake is the first dish
The judges lamented that it would be more divided if it was paired with chili pickles
"My noodles were made at home in advance, with eggs, large oil and puff pastry added to it, the point is that the noodles are made with old cellar noodles, not baking powder, and the fried oil cakes are crispy and very fragrant." No. 2 player Man Caili said while kneading her noodles, next to her wife holding her mobile phone to record her beautiful moments when she competed. Within a few minutes, contestant No. 2's fried fried fried cakes were all fried, and the first one was served to the judges' table.
Man Caili said that she usually fried fritters at home, and after frying, she added spicy pickles, which tasted not to mention delicious.

After tasting it, Shi Lei, the on-site judge, also said that if it is paired with side dishes such as chili pickles, this dish will be more divided.
