Right as

Hello,

The speciality of Japanese cuisine is that the dishes are served fresh, right as they’re prepared.

How can I interpret “right as” here? Does it mean the dishes are served almost at the same time as they are done preparing.

That whole sentence sounds non-native. "Right as" is an awkward variation on "right after". q=right adv.

I expected "just as they're prepared" or maybe "as soon as they're prepared".

(By the way, in AmE it would be "specialty". Fewer syllables.)
