Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 415 - 434: Tofu Feast

With that, she picked up a kitchen knife and got straight to work.

The first ingredient she brought out was silken tofu. This delicate and delicious tofu was perfect for the simplest dish: tofu soup. She brought a pot of water to a boil, diced the tofu, and added shredded meat and green vegetables. Then, she mixed in a little seafood seasoning. As it simmered, the tofu absorbed the aroma of the vegetables and the savory richness of the seafood.

The color of the soup changed from clear white to a pale yellow. "This Jade Tofu Soup is another dish I’ve made at my stall before. It’s the easiest one to make. If any of you fans have tried it and liked it, you can look back at some of my older videos. There’s a tutorial in one of them so you can learn to make it yourself."

While the soup simmered on the stove, Jiang Qiuqiu started on the fried tofu.

The fried tofu was even simpler. She just had to cut the tofu into small cubes, coat them in a batter of egg and starch, and then drop them into a wok of hot oil. All it took was time and a baptism by high heat for a crispy crust to form on the surface, creating that wonderful texture of a crunchy outside and a tender inside.

After that, she sprinkled on some seasonings and chopped green onions, and just like that, a casual little snack was ready.

These two dishes were the easiest, and before long, several large bowls were already lining the table.

Jiang Qiuqiu’s original fans were the first to explode with excitement.

[AHHHHH!]

[Look at how much she’s making today! I think everyone’s gonna get some!]

[Every time Juju does one of these free streams, there’s always enough for everyone! We love you so much!]

The people who had followed the trending topic to her stream were mostly just curious.

The fried tofu and tofu soup didn’t have the same intensely ’bewitching’ aroma as something like braised pork belly.

[So this is the free stuff she’s giving away?]

[It really does look delicious...]

[When do we get to try it?]

[Are you guys only looking at the food? Why isn’t anyone looking at the streamer? She’s such a pretty girl.]

Someone found it strange. ’Are Jiang Qiuqiu’s fans really this focused?’ he wondered. ’With over a billion people watching, is not a single person talking about her looks?’

He posted his question in the chat.

[You’re obviously new here. Stick around long enough and you’ll learn that looks are the least remarkable thing about this stream!]

[Juju didn’t get famous because of her looks!]

Her follower count grew just as rapidly even when she was streaming with a black screen.

"I see everyone’s getting a little impatient, so let’s not waste any more time. We’ll move on to the stuffed tofu." As she spoke, she brought out the other star of the show from a basin.

Compared to the silken tofu, this firm tofu had a rougher texture. When broken apart, you could see it was more porous, with a honeycomb-like structure inside.

For stuffed tofu, you don’t cut it into small cubes. "You need to slice it a little thicker."

In a few deft movements, she finished slicing the tofu.

"That’s because we need to carve out a pocket." Using the tip of her knife, she hollowed out an opening in each of the small white squares. "You have to be careful during this step not to poke all the way through the tofu."

Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, her technique crisp and efficient. It was dazzling to watch. Soon, a small hole had been carved into every single block of white tofu on the screen, all neatly arranged to one side.

"Next, let’s welcome our other star—Gugu meat."

She minced the meat, mixed in an egg, and seasoned it with a little Sichuan peppercorn powder. Using chopsticks, she stirred the mixture until it was firm, then sprinkled a thin layer of salt inside the tofu pockets before stuffing them with the meat filling.

She heated oil in the wok, and once it was hot, she placed the tofu inside. "When you put the tofu in, place it with the opening facing down." Sometimes, high heat acts like a roll of tape, sealing loose ingredients together.

And just like that, the meat and the vegetable were joined as one.
