Chapter 281: Elegant and fragrant cross-bridge tofu
A white porcelain plate, a piece of immature ingredients.
Seeing this piece of ingredients, Ye Fei laughed.
"System, which variety is this tofu?"
The system said lukewarmly: "You haven't used it." β
ββ¦β¦β¦β
"No, I've made tofu several times, is there anything more powerful than the previous tofu?"
"Each ingredient is not necessarily only one or several types, it can be said that with the development of human beings, any kind of ingredient can be derived from more varieties, just like this tofu, used to be divided into north and south tofu, south tofu soft, gypsum powder as the coagulant, north tofu hard, salt brine as the coagulant, and now people use gluconic acid as the coagulant, developed another new type of tofu, that is, lactone tofu, the biggest advantage of this tofu is that it can maximize the protein inside the tofu, so that the water is more sufficient, so that the tofu is extremely tender and smoothγ β
Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this, when he was a chef's apprentice before, he also knew that there was this kind of lactone tofu, but they rarely bought it in the hotel, and most of them still used traditional tofu, but he didn't expect to see it here in the system today.
Looking at this piece of tofu again, it is indeed much more delicate and white than ordinary tofu, and it is unusually tender, just put it on a plate, and you will tremble when you hold it.
"Is this kind of tofu harmful to the human body if eaten? After all, the coagulant in it is a chemical. β
Ye Fei asked curiously, but after asking, he regretted it, he felt that he had asked a very good question.
Sure enough, the system replied succinctly and forcefully: "Harmless!"
"Okay, I see. β
Ye Fei brought out the tofu.
Everyone in the live broadcast room saw Ye Fei bring out a piece of tofu, and they were all curious.
"Isn't it? Ye Shen is going to make tofu again? I've seen him make it a few times, cola tofu, mapo tofu, fish head tofu soup, this ...... This is another tofu dish?"
"Emma, why are there so many tofu delicacies, I usually eat tofu and I didn't find that there are so many ways to eat this thing, it's just fried and fried. β
"What kind of tofu are you going to make today? There are almost a few kinds of delicacies in the tofu, and Ye Shen has made a lot of them. β
"I don't know, but I believe that since Ye Shen has taken out this ingredient, it must be useful, and he will definitely be able to make a superb delicacy. β
"I also believe that I will sit back and wait for Ye Shen to play. β
Now the people in the live broadcast room have admired Ye Fei's cooking skills, no matter what ingredients he comes up with, they all believe that Ye Fei will definitely be able to make a different delicacy.
Sure enough, Ye Fei put the tofu on the table and said with a smile: "Tofu, this ingredient is already very familiar to many people in our live broadcast room, and we have also made many kinds of tofu cuisine, but those belong to Sichuan cuisine, today we will make another one, this dish belongs to Hunan cuisine, and it is not spicy Hunan cuisine, it has a very nice name, called bridge tofu, bridge tofu, with tofu as the main material and eggs as the auxiliary material, this dish fully integrates tofu and eggs perfectly, thus forming a mouth-watering delicacy." β
After eating all over the world, he shouted: "Ye Shen, is this tofu still the same as before?"
Ye Fei smiled, picked up the plate on the table, and said, " Brother Tianxia's eyes are really powerful, presumably you can see that this piece of tofu is different from the previous tofu, yes, this piece of tofu is not the tofu we used before, although it is also made of the best soybeans, but one thing is different, the coagulant in it is not salt brine, nor gypsum powder, but gluconic acid, this is a new type of coagulant, tofu made of it as a coagulant, not only the appearance is white and shiny, but also high yield, easy to absorb and digest, especially compared with the northern tofu with gypsum powder as the coagulant, the northern tofu because it contains gypsum, should not eat more, but this kind of tofu is different, you can eat a little moreIn addition, I will tell you that this kind of tofu is very common and is sold in many stores, so after you see this bridge tofu, if you like to eat, you can make it yourself, as for the specific steps, you can take a good look at it next. β
Cross-bridge tofu, in fact, is a very simple dish, but because it is simple, if you want to do it well, you can show the basic skills of a chef.
Ye Fei put the tofu back on the table, and then took out four eggs from another storage compartment.
The shell of these four eggs is white, but it is not smooth, but there are protruding dots, which are the eggs of the red-tailed chicken.
Put the four red-tailed chicken eggs in a small bowl, and Ye Fei then took the other ingredients.
This time it was a small piece of pork, which was also pork from rosin pork, followed by ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, green onions, ginger, and oil.
When everything was ready, Ye Fei began to make the dish.
Cross-bridge tofu, this is a very famous delicacy in Hunan cuisine, because it has three characteristics, the first is delicious, the second is beautiful, and the third is fast.
It is said to be delicious because when it is cooked, it combines not only the aroma of eggs, but also the rich flavor of minced meat, and the fresh flavor of the tofu itself.
Pretty refers to the shape of this dish, the reason why this dish is called bridge tofu is because the shape of this dish is like a bridge, it spans a river, and on both sides are four islands formed with eggs like Sun Moon Island, golden islands, white as jade bridges, giving people the first impression is beauty.
In addition, speed is also one of the characteristics of this dish, it will not be like other cuisines, it can not be done in tens of minutes or even hours, this dish is very simple, the longest time used before and after is about half an hour.
Today, Ye Fei has to make three dishes, and he knows that after half past one, it will be time for others to go to work, and if he can't end his live broadcast at that time, the audience will definitely be reduced, so he must make a quick decision, so he also chose a time-saving food.
After taking out all the ingredients, Ye Fei's next step was to do it directly.
The first is to process the tofu.
In fact, in this dish, the processing method of tofu is very simple, that is, slicing.
But this slice is very particular, because you must pay attention to the appearance of this dish, if you cut the tofu slices of different thicknesses, then wait until you build this "bridge" will definitely affect the appearance, so in order to achieve perfection, the tofu slices must be cut as thick.
This is not a problem for Ye Fei at all.
He picked up a thin knife from the tool rack, which was in the shape of a meniscus, with a thin back and a very sharp edge.
Picking up the knife, Ye Fei also put the tofu from the plate on the cutting board, and then took the knife down and began to cut the tofu.
A piece of tofu, Ye Fei cut it into sixteen slices, each slice was almost the same, and it looked like it was carved out of a mold.
While cutting, Ye Fei said: "The reason why we cut it into sixteen slices is because I want to make this dish into a food with meaning, sixteen, the number Allah is 16, one and six, which represents the meaning of a smooth journey, every guest can be said to have come to me from a far away, here, I also wish every friend who comes to me can have a smooth journey and peace and security." β
Saying that, Ye Fei put sixteen pieces of tofu on the plate, this plate is not the plate that filled the tofu just now, but uses another new plate, this plate is much larger than the one just now, and Ye Fei is also very particular when he puts the tofu, not to put the tofu slices on the plate in a mess, but one by one carefully arranged into a long shape, this long shape is like a bridge in the sky, forming a step between every two pieces of tofu, like a ladder.
From this end of the plate to the other, sixteen slices of tofu were just finished, and then Ye Fei picked up a red-tailed chicken egg, and then knocked it lightly, and the shell broke a crack, and then with a slight pinch of his hand, the egg broke, and the yolk inside fell first.
Then Ye Fei hurriedly picked up his hand, which means that he only used the egg yolk for this dish, and the egg white was useless.
In the same way, open the other three eggs, remove the yolks, and discard the whites.
At this time, looking at the shape of the dish on this plate, a rainbow bridge as white as jade rises in the sky, and on both sides of the bridge, there are two golden egg yolk islands like the sun.
After doing all this, Ye Fei said: "I also said just now, this dish is very simple, the main thing is the shape, now we have finished the bridge and the islands on both sides, and the next thing is to steam it in the basket drawer." β
It's still the cage drawer where the cabbage was steamed just now, Ye Fei put it on the stove, spread a steamer cloth inside, put this very beautiful cross-bridge tofu in the cage drawer, and steam it directly.
The tofu and eggs were steamed in the cage drawer, and Ye Fei minced the pork, shiitake mushrooms, green onions and ginger at a very fast speed, and stir-fried them directly.
When it was almost fried, a little water was added to it to form a soup, and then it was fried, and when the juice began to be collected, Ye Fei chopped the sour pepper and put it in the pot, stir-fried it a few times, and turned off the heat directly.
At this time, the tofu and eggs in the cage drawer are almost the same, because this dish is a quick dish, so it can be steamed in the cage drawer for three to five minutes.
Ye Fei steamed for five minutes, then turned off the heat and took the plate out of the cage drawer.
Look at the food on the plate at this time, the white smoke rises on the white tofu bridge, and a unique aroma of tofu rushes out, and then the four red-tailed chicken eggs on both sides are not fully cooked, but are medium-rare, the plate shakes in the hand, and the egg yolk can also shake slightly.
Putting the plate on the table, Ye Feiyi stretched out his hand to pick up the wok, and then carefully poured the soup in the pot from one end to the other along the bridge formed by the tofu.
As he finished this step, he saw that a white light suddenly rushed up from the plate, and then on both sides of the white light, four golden clusters of light appeared.
", the fragrance skill can also appear like this?"
Ye Fei was really a little strange, because when he saw the blessing of Wanli Piaoxiang skill before, it was when the dish had not left the pot yet, and like today, the dish had already come out of the pot and appeared, it was really the first time.
"Madan, it seems that this skill is really perverted. β
The white light and the four golden clusters of light fused together, then exploded and dispersed.
Ye Fei immediately smelled a very special aroma, the reason why this aroma is special is because it is not as strong as the aroma of other dishes, on the contrary, it is very light, whether it is the smell of tofu or the smell of eggs, it is very elegant, making people smell a refreshing feeling.
"It's really different. Ye Fei muttered, put the pot in his hand on the stove, then rubbed his hands, stretched the dish forward, and said, "This dish is finished, although the steps are very simple, but I think this should be a delicacy that will not disappoint everyone." β
Everyone didn't expect this delicacy Ye Fei to complete so quickly, the sum of the front and back is only about ten minutes, which is too much less time than the previous delicacy.
"Damn, so fast?"
"Uh-uh-uh~~~ Ye Shen is going to be trick-or-treated, why is a delicacy so quickly done?
"This ...... Ye Shen doesn't want to broadcast live? This is too fast, right?"
"I don't care, I don't care anyway, I just want to see how Ye Shen's food is doing. β
Everyone said, hurriedly looked at this dish, but after seeing this dish, many people's eyes narrowed, and then their eyes suddenly opened, and one by one, the essence of light in their eyes exploded............
