Clang! Clang! Clang!
The knife was pressed rhythmically on the chopping board. Xu Le raised the blade and slit the Buddha's Roll open every three centimeters without cutting it off.
Zhang Liang was heating up oil at the side. He said in surprise, "Are you cutting the shape of a finger?"
"That's right. I am going to cut a long strip first, then cut it into pieces after it's fried. Otherwise, it'll curl up easily the moment it enters the pot and won't look good."
When the oil was heated up to 70 to 80 percent hot and started to emit smoke, it would be ready to place the rolls into the pot.
Xu Le used the knife to hold up the Buddha's Roll that had been cut and said to the camera, "You must use the side of the knife and press it close to the chopping board. If you use your hand directly, it will easily deform. Slide down along the edge of the pot and let it fry slowly."
