   Here are some recommended food-themed novels! The female protagonist sells food at a stall, and the process of making the food is incredibly meticulous! 🌸🌸 Cheng Yuewan glanced at the clams in the basin; after an afternoon, they had expelled all the sand very cleanly. She nodded in satisfaction and took a small knife from the knife rack. With a gentle stroke along the seam of the clam shell, and a slight flick of her wrist, the shell opened with a snap. The clam meat inside was plump and moist, gleaming like pearls, with a delicate yellow fringe around the edge. She carefully removed the clam meat and placed it on a porcelain plate. The technique for removing the meat was extremely precise, ensuring the clam meat remained intact while also removing the adductor muscle attached to the shell. This required just the right amount of force; too much would tear the clam meat, too little would leave it unclean. With nimble fingers, she quickly prepared a large plate of clams. Next, she made shrimp paste. She took out the shrimp she had just peeled that morning; each shrimp was translucent, with a faint pink hue. She laid the shrimp flat on the cutting board and gently pounded them with the back of a knife. Pounding too lightly wouldn't loosen the shrimp meat, while pounding too heavily would damage the fibers, so each pounding needed to be just right. Once the pounded shrimp meat gradually softened, she switched to the blade of the knife to finely chop it. With each chop, the aroma of the shrimp meat gradually wafted out, carrying the unique sweetness of the ocean. 🌸🌸When it was chopped to about 70% of its original size, she added a little pork fat—this was the secret to making the shrimp paste even smoother. The pork fat should be cut into small cubes the size of mung beans and chopped together with the shrimp paste until combined. Then, she sprinkled a small pinch of fine salt on the shrimp paste. The salt was added in two parts: once for seasoning and once to adjust the texture. When the shrimp paste gradually became sticky, she added four egg whites, adding them little by little while stirring in one direction. Stuffing the shells is the most skillful part. Take out a clam shell, use a bamboo stick to pick up a ball of shrimp paste, and gently stuff it into the shell. It shouldn't be too full, or it will overflow, nor too little; about one and a half spoonfuls per shell. Bring water to a boil in a pot, and once boiling, arrange the shrimp-filled clams neatly on top, leaving appropriate gaps between each one. When covering the pot, Cheng Yuewan deliberately left a small gap to prevent water droplets from affecting the texture. Steam for about five minutes, then lift the lid. The steamed shrimp paste is an enticing pinkish-white, with a glistening sheen. The broth inside the clam shells is crystal clear, exuding a rich, savory aroma. Sprinkle with bright green scallions and drizzle with hot peanut oil; with a sizzle, the aroma instantly explodes in the kitchen. The final touch is a small spoonful of special soy sauce. This soy sauce is made by Cheng Yuewan using three types of soy sauce, with a little rock sugar and spices, and simmered over low heat. It's salty and sweet, with a rich umami flavor. When poured over the shrimp paste, the amber-colored sauce slowly flows down the smooth surface, creating a beautiful contrast with the white shrimp paste. And just like that, a delicious and beautiful clam-stuffed shrimp paste dish is complete. It's just not easy to make.

    Food-themed healing + card-collecting sprite raising + farming management + no romance. Reborn in the interstellar era, renowned chef Su Miaomiao is burdened with enormous debt, guarding a desolate, abandoned planet. Until she activates her ancestral bracelet—a spiritual spring irrigating the barren land, the ancient Earth's seed bank reappears, and unexpectedly, she is bound to a food card system. Every dish that brings happiness generates a unique card, randomly dropping seeds, interstellar coins, and rare ingredients... As the space upgrades, even more magical creations are born—round, plump berry sprites hum songs while watering the orchard, soft, fluffy bread sprites crawl into the oven to control the heat. They replicate dishes, purify pollution, and assist in cooking. From then on, Su Miaomiao's interstellar restaurant becomes a hit, and her food cards sweep the universe. Major powers offer sky-high contracts for cooperation, and food lovers cross galaxies to check in. Only Su Miaomiao calmly carries her newly born sprite in her arms, looking at the wall full of glittering food cards—one stop at a time. Conquer this place with the taste of home.
