Chapter 671: Black Bean's Hospitality (Part I)
Back in the store, Zhu Qing served a hot meal, three dishes and one soup, perhaps to understand the taste of Xia Yu's daily life, there is no big fish and meat, pay attention to plain, but full of warmth.
After eating, Xia Yu washed the newly harvested black beans on the farm, poured them all into a wooden barrel, soaked them in water from the tank, and got up early tomorrow to grind soy milk with beans and make tofu.
"Wow"
Beans pour.
Looking at the beans in the wooden barrel, Xia Yu suddenly felt that his culinary research began with tofu, "Magic Mapo Tofu" has been thoroughly studied by him, and next, it is a higher level of "Great Magic Panda Tofu", if the improvement is smooth and the task is completed, you can successfully obtain the supreme recipes related to tofu cuisine
"Tofu Trio"!
This recipe is at the same level as "Golden Laughter" and "Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasures Town Soul Pack".
Truly speaking, "Tofu Trio" is not Shao'an's own recipe, it comes from a top female chef who has traversed the history of "Zhonghua Ban".
Shell fairy.
Fairy Bei is Liu Pleiaus's mother, and she is also Shao'an's adoptive mother and chef, in fact, from beginning to end, Shao'an has not been able to break free from the shadow of Fairy Bei, his dishes, his life, are full of the taste of Fairy Bei.
"The smell of the shell fairy......"
Xia Yu was curious.
What does this legendary female chef look like when she gives her the imprint and meaning of her recipes?
After roughly touching the essence of being happy, simply opening and laughing, and the mystery of calming the soul, Xia Yu left a strong mark on the Chinese food industry, and the fairy taste that is still mentioned by people today is full of curiosity.
"Tofu Trio" is the key to open the door!
Come on!
……
The next morning, as the train in Tokyo began to operate, the sound of a grinding plate clicking could be heard in the backyard of Xia's shop.
Black tofu soaked overnight has a softened shell and a plump flesh rich in moisture.
Xia Yu squeezed out the bean juice with a more retro and traditional stone mill, in fact, it was a more modern processing process to squeeze the juice into the cooking machine, but he was used to using a grinding disc, and regarded it as an early morning exercise, which was also quite emotional.
Get a big vat of bean juice.
Strain the okara.
It is worth saying that the bean dregs are not completely useless corner garbage, Xia Yu deliberately kept them.
The soybean juice puree is to be put into a large pot to cook, this process is extremely important, because the unboiled soybean milk contains toxicity, igo promotes tuna belly soybeans on a special warning, fantasy soybean puree, the toxicity is stronger than the general soybean milk, need to cook longer.
"Gollum"
Soon, a pot of soy milk was boiling, and a thick fog filled the entire kitchen.
For a while, the heat and aroma filled the shop.
Meow!
The flower cat jumped, wagging its tail and sitting on the side of Xia Yu's hand, staring at the boiling liquid in the pot with big eyes, with a flash of humanized desire.
Xia Yu's expression was slightly serious.
"The ratio of water to black beans, no problem! It's just right!" scooped up a little hot bean juice and licked it with his tongue, the flavor that occupied his tongue made the boy's eyes light up.
He has experience in boiling tuna beans and soybeans, he knows where to turn off the fire, know which temperature to cool, and then put in the core ingredients for making tofu, salt brine and gypsum!
Next, the key step is to order tofu!
In fact, the discussion about whether the traditional salt brine and gypsum tofu is poisonous has never stopped.
The brine itself is toxic, but when it reacts with soy milk, the chemical structure changes.
And gypsum, which can be used as medicine, only talks about toxicity and does not talk about dosage, it is simply a hooligan, and those popular food additives on the market are really non-toxic and harmless?
According to Xia Yu's point of view, for example, using the food additive 'glucolactin' to order tofu, the quality of tofu is generally higher than that of traditional methods, but if you want to make a real "stone into gold!"
There were two small bottles on the countertop.
The taste of tofu in the salt marinade point is strong, but the disadvantage is that the texture and appearance are not very good.
Gypsum dotted tofu, with a lot of water, tender taste and light taste.
But the combination of the two, salt brine should be used, gypsum should also be available, do you want to say the proportion and dosage, shhh! This is the kind of secret that Xia Yu summarized when he made his own fantasy tofu in the past, and can be passed on to his descendants.
Holding a spatula on one side and brine and gypsum on the other, Xia Yu looked cautious.
Soon, in the original river-like slurry, there were tofu grains the size of corn kernels floating, Xia Yu said in his heart, immediately stopped stirring, removed the spatula, closed the wooden lid on the cauldron, and sealed it tightly!
"In half an hour, you can install the mold!"
Xia Yu wiped the sweat on his forehead, stood still, recalled the process from grinding beans to the last tofu, since I didn't think there was any mistake, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and it was rare to slap on the cat's skull, and he tried hard to brush the hair of this little thing, and afterwards he stained a hand of cat hair and had to clean it, which was really asking for trouble.
Xia Yu didn't plan to stand stupidly in this half hour.
Turning around and taking the black bean dregs that had just been deliberately kept, Xia Yu lowered his head and sniffed the smell of the wooden barrel, "Really, it's not a waste of making cakes!"
The head is full of recipes about okara.
Common cakes, bean dregs steamed buns, bean dregs glutinous rice glutinous rice glutinous baba, bean dregs scrambled eggs, and even green peppers, red pepper minced, salt, oil consumption and egg vegetarian fried bean dregs are also very good, just thinking about it, Xia Yu made his stomach cramp and protested that he was hungry!
……
"What does it smell like?"
Knock knock.
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and at about eight o'clock, Zhu Qing went downstairs, stopped at the top of the stairs, and sniffed fiercely: "The smell of beans? But why is there a sweet smell wrapped around the bean fragrance?"
She chases the taste and stands at the kitchen door.
"Wow!"
With his beautiful eyes widened, Xia Yu wore an apron, and all the pans were set up on two or three stoves, and what he was holding in his hand was not a spatula, but a pair of wooden chopsticks!
Obviously, the chopsticks replaced the spatula, and the wooden chopsticks had an indescribable agility in Xia Yu's hands.
Outside.
Ninety percent of the shops in the shopping street have been rented out and renovated into a variety of restaurants.
At 8 a.m., these restaurants opened their doors one after another, and the clerks put up poster shelves to push a wave of preferential breakfast sets.
Not to mention, due to the rapid popularity of the shopping street and its location in a busy area with a mix of business, schools and residential buildings, people are happy to stop by for breakfast after knowing that the shopping street is home to a number of high-quality restaurants and gourmet cottages, which will be crowded with uniformed middle school students, business people in suits and leather shoes in nearby office buildings, and some grandparents returning from morning workouts in the park.
"Jingle bell!"
Bicycle ringtones.
A pair of male students in black uniforms of White Ou High School, riding bicycles,
