Chapter 169
Su Ying put on her apron, took out the tofu cubes in the light salt water, drained the water, and was going to show Xing Ping Chuangzhen what real mapo tofu was.
"Hey, this bean paste is really from Pixian County." Seeing condiments from her hometown so far away from home made Su Ying feel a little better.
"Real mapo tofu does not add any sweet noodle sauce, and the minced meat inside is not pork belly, but beef!" Su Ying said to Xing Ping Chuangzhen, while placing her palm on top of the oil surface of the iron pan, feeling With the slight heat that slowly rises.
Well, it's almost [-]% hot...
Su Ying quickly put the minced beef in, and the wet and slippery minced beef was quickly dried out, and the grains became distinct and golden in color. At this time, it would be best to pour in light yellow and clear Shaoxing rice wine .
Bean paste... Chili noodles... As more and more seasonings are added, a light red oil overflows from the minced beef, and the addition of minced ginger and fermented soybeans makes the whole classroom full of a unique Sichuan cuisine Spicy aroma.
"Add some hot water, salt and soy sauce, put the tofu in after boiling, and let the tofu taste with low heat."
Su Ying turned the fire down a little bit, and when it was about the same time, she threw garlic sprouts and gorgon powder into it, and then turned the flame to a high fire, and the blazing light of the fire shone on the wall.
Thickening is a unique cooking method in Chinese cuisine. Even for dishes that do not contain soup, by adding seasoning and thickening, the thick juice can be attached to the surface of the dish to achieve a glossy and smooth flavor.
The soup is constantly boiling, the water inside is slowly evaporating, and the surface of the tofu gradually becomes crystal clear, like snow-white icebergs that will not melt for thousands of years in the sea of red water.
Sprinkle garlic sprouts and pepper noodles, and the whole dish is done!
"Come on, try it!"
The eight-character motto of Mapo Tofu is "spicy, spicy, fresh, fragrant, hot, tender, crispy, and alive"!
"It's delicious... It's really different from the mapo tofu in Japan..."
The snow-white, tender, and smooth tofu slips into the mouth, the clear aroma of garlic sprouts mixed in the gravy, the mellow aroma of beef and fermented soybeans rush up together, and the first numb and then spicy touch on the tip of the tongue brings a fiery heat The comfort of breath!
"Well, the taste is not bad..." Su Ying also picked a piece and tasted it, the familiar taste entered her mouth, and it slowly merged with her memory.
Although it's been a long time since she made it, it seems that her cooking skills in Sichuan cuisine have not regressed~
but……
Su Ying's brows gradually wrinkled.
"Can not be done……"
"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"
"Compared to Kuga-senpai, this alone is not enough..."
The mapo tofu she made is just the most orthodox method, and Jiuga Teruji is a recipe that I don’t know how long I have been thinking about before I improved it. I lost from the starting point...
And I also heard that the condiments of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association, such as bean paste, black bean sauce, and oyster sauce, are specially prepared by Kuga Teruki for the school festival...
It is precisely because of so much effort that his dishes have a unique, delicious and deep spicy taste.
Ahhhhh daddy!The daughter is unfilial!Even cooking Sichuan cuisine is no better than a Japanese chef!
"Looks like I'm going to show some real guy!" Su Ying's face slowly sank.
"Really?" Xing Ping Chuangzhen was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw Su Ying bring over a square bag.
"This is... dried tofu?" Xing Ping Chuangzhen recognized it at a glance.
Wrap the tofu in a cloth, and then squeeze out the water vapor to dry the tofu!
How can such a hard and tough thing be made into mapo tofu?
Su Ying weighed the dried tofu, as if confirming its size, touched the kitchen knife in her hand, and took a deep breath.
"Okay... so fast!" The knife movement was extremely fast!Xing Ping Chuangzhen on the side can even see the afterimage of the kitchen knife in Su Ying's hand dancing!
I couldn't count how many times I swung the knife, but I could only see that the dried tofu was first sliced horizontally into thin slices, and then vertically cut into shreds of tofu!Fine knife work cuts the dried tofu as thin as a hair!Just like the feathers of a swan!
This is the real Chinese chef!
It's just that the dishes served at the end made Xing Ping Chuangzhen a little unpredictable.
"This...wasn't it all shredded just now? Why is the tofu served in a whole piece?"
"And this pure white and translucent appearance... how does it look like mapo tofu? It looks like a thousand-layer cake!"
"You'll know after eating and watching."
Xing Ping Chuangzhen pressed down lightly with his chopsticks, and he thought it would be hard and tough tofu, and he could easily scratch off a piece, pick it up and put it in his mouth, "This taste... this is the authentic Mapo tofu!"
"Moreover, this tofu melts in the mouth like silk, with a noble and fresh taste... The taste of Mapo Tofu has been elevated to an unimaginable level, but it can still maintain the elastic chewiness..."
"However, how can such a hard dried tofu be able to have such a slender taste?"
"Look carefully." Su Ying pointed to the mapo tofu that looked like a whole piece, "Only using hard and elastic dried tofu can produce this kind of texture!"
"This..." Xing Ping Chuangzhen flicked it lightly with his chopsticks, "It's unbelievable!"
This whole piece of mapo tofu!It was spelled out!
First cut the dried tofu as thin as silk, and then put together a whole tofu skin!Moreover, between the tofu skin and the tofu skin is the sauce of mapo tofu that binds them extremely tightly!
Layered, extremely high-end new taste... It is a new type of mapo tofu that Xingping Chuangzhen has never heard of before!
"How is it? If this dish is called "Chinese cuisine that no one has ever seen before", isn't it qualified? "
Combining the Yangzhou Wensi tofu recipe with a long history with mapo tofu is a recipe that Su Ying wanted to try a long time ago, and now she can finally make it!
"What a great dish!" It is indeed the mapo tofu that has been honed over time!Such a slender and gorgeous taste is different from the Mapo Tofu of Jiuwo Senpai, and it is not far behind!
But Xing Ping Chuangzhen immediately asked another question: "Su Ying..."
"Ok?"
"I want to ask, is there anyone else in Yuanyue Academy who can make this dish besides you?"
Xing Ping Chuangzhen felt that he would not be able to learn the amazing knife skills that brought out the phantom anyway.
"This, this, this, this..." A series of names flashed through Su Ying's mind.
Finally she was forced to come to this conclusion:
"It seems that there is no one except me?"
"..." Xing Ping Chuangzhen fell silent.
Such a complicated dish!How could it be sold on a large scale at the Yuanyue Festival!
