036 Tofu Trio
"Alright, let's start the third course, what's next?" Tian Qiu was also hungry, and asked after seeing the end of the second dish. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Tofu Trio." Abbey smiled kindly at Tian Chunqiu and said a dish that Tian Chunqiu knew.
Please, you're not Tofu Shih Tzu, is it necessary to play so hard with tofu?
Tian Zhongqiu couldn't help but wanted to complain, but in the end he was defeated, so let the other party toss......
Seeing Tian Zhongqiu's helpless appearance, Abbe felt very happy, and with a happy mood, he was ready to move on to the third dish.
"Master, how do you make soybeans feel like ground meat? It's the same as the meat, if not better! Alice ran to Abbe's side, hugged the other party's arm and began to be coquettish again, "Master, tell me~"
Abbe was originally trying to teach the other party cooking, and at this time he also nodded and said, "I must be talking about it, I just want to teach you this dish to make it." Soybeans are known as meat in the vegetable garden in my hometown, so the first thing that comes to mind is soybeans as an alternative to meat. First, the soybeans soaked in water are boiled in the stock, and then they are taken out and crushed on a table, and then the soy is fully flavored with the sauce. The moisture and flavor of the sauce give the soybeans a fragrant gravy.
"However, if the meat created by this method is boiled in a pot, it should all flow into the soup of mapo tofu, and it is impossible to leave any meat flavor at all. After all, this is just crushed and seasoned beans, so it shouldn't be possible to replace meat. "Several of the top chefs in the kitchen have different opinions.
Abbe nodded, these are the main force of Zhonghua Building, although it is not of great use, but there is no credit and hard work, Abbe also respects these chefs very much.
"That's right, so I ended up frying it in a pan to preserve the flavor of the sauce and give the soybeans the right amount of firmness to chew more like real meat. The flavor of the sauce is locked in the inside of the beans, and the texture of the meat is taken from the outside of the beans. Abbe gave an explanation, and took out some of the remaining beans and placed them on the table for everyone to see.
Kikuchien also picked up a bean, which looked very much like ground meat from the outside, but it was more elastic than normal ground meat, and it was only after cutting it that it was confirmed that it was really a soybean.
"What an amazing idea! It deserves to be [Magic Mapo Tofu]! ”
"No, it should be said: worthy of the shell fairy!"
"If the soybeans that are ground in the meat provide the taste of [crispy], then the refreshing tofu provides a sweetness other than [crispy], and this sweetness is even clearer in the contrast of spicy!"
"The protein in the soybeans is very easy to digest and absorb, and the delicate meat, chewiness, and tofu that combines the six flavors into one are definitely the best mapo tofu I have ever tasted! And the spicy taste inside is not annoying at all! ”
"Extremely creative dishes, a perfect balance between the six flavors, unbeatable deliciousness! Is there really anything more delicious than this? “
Is there really a more delicious tofu dish than this......
Everyone came back to their senses and looked at Abbe, who was making preparations.
When making Chinese food, 90% of the time is spent on preparation, and many of the ingredients in the kitchen are processed and brewed, otherwise it would have taken longer.
Looking at Chef Abbe, who was preparing the ingredients, one of the chefs said, "Chef Abbe, don't be mine......"
"Hmm." Abbe paused, there are not many people left, most of them go to eat after tasting the magic mapo tofu, and after tasting it, don't think about improving their cooking skills.
Some things are not motivated by competition, and Abbe's cuisine is to let everyone directly experience the top cuisine, and after eating the top cuisine, it will have a very bad impact on their own judgment.
For example, after eating 90 points of food, these people can no longer distinguish between their 30 points of food and those 50 points of food, and they can no longer recognize the difference between themselves and those who are 70 or 80 points, because everyone is below 90 points.
After memorizing Abbe's cooking, these people lost their correct evaluation and could not clearly judge the strength of the people around them and themselves.
After a tenth-level trumpet has seen the strength of a hundred-level trumpet, it will lack a correct understanding of players at level fifty or sixty, and it will not be clear to see the gap between themselves and others.
"Boss, I'll cook for this table, and you can cook some for that table too." In the kitchen, when there are outsiders, Abbe has the confidence to call Tian Mid-Autumn Festival, for example, at this time, it seems to be casual, but his heart is happy.
Shinto Scarlet had already wanted to retreat, and she knew that she couldn't follow Erina Nagikiri, so she also stepped aside at this time, "Aqiu, what are you going to do, I'll help you!" ”
"Ah, I want to try the owner's craft, too."
The chef who had taken Erina before also retired, and now standing behind Abbe is another of Abbe's apprentices, Erina Nagikiri, Alice Nagikiri, and Kikuchi Enka.
Tian Zhongqiu did not refuse, he was idle anyway, and he could cook what he wanted to eat, and he could eat at ease.
Standing up and looking for it on the cooking table on the side, Tian Zhongqiu looked at the nearby ingredients and said casually: "I don't want to do anything too complicated, just a palace fried chicken, a longan roasted white, and they are all Sichuan dishes." ”
Speaking of this, Tian Zhongqiu suddenly realized a problem, so he asked Ah Bei, who was preparing over there, "Ah Bei, when did Zhonghua Mansion only cook Sichuan food?" ”
"This, the main reason is that the guests who come here are ordering Sichuan cuisine, and then slowly it will develop into a Sichuan restaurant." Abbe doesn't mind this, although she knows more than just Sichuan food, but there is nothing wrong with cooking Sichuan food, the chef is to make the corresponding dishes according to the choices of the guests, not to decide what the guests eat according to their own preferences.
Unfortunately, Tian Zhongqiu is the kind of chef who likes to use his own preferences to decide what his guests eat, and this chef is still the owner......
"In the future, change the main dishes on the menu, try to recommend some non-spicy dishes to the guests, and you can also add some Chinese dishes that are not Sichuan cuisine." Tian Zhongqiu said his request to the female manager, and directly knocked out the impression of the Sichuan restaurant in Zhonghualou. ”
"Yes!" The female manager can't help it, the other party is the boss, just listen to the other party.
There is nothing special about the two dishes that Tian Zhongqiu wants to make, and they are also not spicy Sichuan dishes, because most chefs know how to do it, so there is no explanation while doing it like Abbe.
When cooking in Tian Zhongqiu, everyone's attention was still on Master Abbe, and they didn't pay attention to the strength of this boss.
Although you can't eat it, it's still good to see and smell it.
Naturally, what Abbe wants to do is the [Tofu Trio], whether it is Mapo Tofu, Magic Mapo Tofu, and the Tofu Trio that he wants to make now, they are all dishes developed by Abbe himself.
This time, Abbe is more focused than just now, and the people around him are all talented in cooking, and their knowledge of cooking skills is richer than the rest, so as long as they watch from the sidelines, they can know how to do it, and there is no need for Abbe to explain carefully.
Under modern technology, the difficulty of obtaining many ingredients has been reduced, and the main ingredient of mapo tofu, tofu, is also stored in the ingredient warehouse of this kitchen, and it is all high-purity tofu.
Abbe places the prepared tofu on the board and uses a bamboo knife to quickly scratch a large piece of tofu.
Everyone knows that Master Abbey's knife work is very powerful, and now watching Abbey turn a square piece of white tofu from a flat marble into an exact mesh lattice, they are even more amazed, these hundreds of grids are the same size, and whether it is cut horizontally or vertically, they are all neatly cut, fully demonstrating the stability of the other party's hands.
"Tofu is a delicate ingredient, it takes a lot of work to keep them together, and if the appearance is ruined, it is equivalent to the collapse of the taste."
"That's why Master Abbe cuts the tofu squarely, and this skill is on par with a sophisticated machine."
"And in order to prevent the smell of iron from getting involved in the tofu, I switched to a bamboo knife."
There are also miscellaneous and service staff in the kitchen, and some chefs who have retired have also begun to solve their doubts for the rest at this time.
Tian Zhongqiu didn't want to cook, just like now, he kindly cooked for them, it is estimated that people will still think about the food on Abe's side, and now no one pays attention to him.
Putting the roasted vegetables on the plate, Tian Zhongqiu also sighed, he couldn't eat it well.
After making his own cooking, Tian Qiu turned off the fire and looked at Abbey's side, and at this time he saw that Abbey was holding two pots at the same time, and the two iron pots were burning under the stir-frying of his arms.
The rest of the people were shocked by this, marveling at Chef Abbey's control of the heat, and Tian Zhongqiu thought that these people were shocked by Abbey's strength, but they didn't say anything, and a good chef could fight.
After Abbe had stir-fried the noodles, he poured one pot of tofu and another pot of noodles on a plate, covering the noodles with the broth, which in turn covered the tofu with thickening.
Thickening, that is, using starch or cornstarch, and then cooking the vegetables when they are about to come out of the pot, in order to make the dishes taste better, add a little water starch, so that the dishes will not have a lot of soup, thicken with cornstarch, and the dishes made are bright and transparent.
"It's done, [Tofu Trio], let's try it!" Abbe placed the tofu trio on the table and beckoned everyone to start tasting.
This time there was no faint light just now, but everyone felt a sense of fear, and after hesitating for a while, they finally wanted to see this ultimate cuisine.
The noodles are stacked with angular tofu cubes, and the noodles below can feel the amazing elasticity just by looking at them, but after remembering the production process just now, everyone has seen only Abbe's superb knife work and fire skills, but this tofu trio contains the three elements of color, flavor and flavor in the dish, and you can feel the deliciousness of it before you eat it.
From the outside, the knowledge of this dish is just thickened tofu on the fried noodles, but everyone knows that Chef Abbe can't cook such a simple dish.
After everyone took a bite with bated breath, they threw aside all their reserves, especially Kikuchi Yuanguo, who quickly grabbed it with chopsticks, and snatched up a plate of fried noodles and tofu with everyone, and everyone's faces were sweating, and the corners of their mouths were full of white bean juice.
After the food on the plate was snatched up, everyone who stopped showed a look of intoxication, as if they were in the palace, listening to the fairy sound in their ears.
"I heard ......"
"I also heard the sound of three stringed instruments......"
"The three melodies are harmonious and different, and they play a deep sweet and luscious tone on the tongue......"
"It turned into light snow, and it became one because the snow melted. As the species dissipates, it slowly fades deep into the throat......"
"It spread through my mouth and through my nose, turning into a three-dimensional sound of the earth, and the mist-like touch that moistened my throat made me see—"
In the last sentence, everyone opened their eyes and looked at each other, and then said in unison: "The [Kingdom of Abundance] with deep fog!" A fertile soil in Sichuan! ”
Feeling like a film, Tian Zhongqiu complained, and then continued to bow his head and eat his own food.
Except for Tian Zhongqiu, the rest of the people were looking at Tian Zhongqiu's side, completely ignoring Tian Zhongqiu and Tian Zhongqiu's cuisine, which is also one of the reasons why Tian Zhongqiu is reluctant to cook.
"The thickened tofu, tofu dregs and tofu noodles, the [three-dimensional food feeling] caused by these three things in the third dimension, is the true face of the tofu trio. Flavoring tofu with tofu, there is only tofu from the beginning, in other words, this dish is a dish that uses tofu to [cook] tofu, such as a fake [tofu dish]! Abbe told the rest of the people the secrets of the Tofu Trio, and said, "I'll leave the recipe later, and I hope that the next time I come over, the [Tofu Trio] will become the signature dish of Zhonghua Restaurant...... One. ”
Abbe remembered Tian Zhongqiu's request, so he added one.
The rest of the people were still immersed in the deliciousness of the tofu trio, and the remaining Chinese chef also said at this time: "The smoothness and tenderness of the tofu, the moistness of the meat, and the softness and elasticity of the noodles give people enough three kinds of food sensations to melt away like light snow when they have crossed the throat." The endless gentle taste, the three-dimensional earth flavor and the blended mist make people feel instant pleasure and make my heart flutter in the fertile fields of Sichuan. This light and light scene is the essence of [Sichuan Banquet Cuisine]! ”
Although a few people on the side have never been to Sichuan, they can also feel the beautiful scenery belonging to the land of abundance from this dish, and they also have the idea of going to the country of abundance to have a look.
"Master, this is already a dish that brings out the deliciousness of tofu to the extreme, right?" Alice is sure that there is no better food in the world, but she is still a little unconvinced, because the person in front of her is the same person who created this dish, and she could be better!
Abbe said embarrassedly, "The ingredients are all selected from anywhere, and if I start with the beans myself, the taste will be better." ”
Everyone was silent, at this time, everyone no longer wanted to experience the more advanced cuisine, in addition to the reason just now, there is also the unforgettable memory of this cuisine, except for Abbe, there is absolutely no one who can reproduce this deliciousness, where can I eat it when the time comes......
"I said, you guys, haven't you eaten yet? Abbey, you've been busy all morning, aren't you tired? Tian Zhongqiu put down the bowl and said to the rest of the people: "Stop, hurry up and eat, and then buy vegetables when you should buy vegetables, clean up when you should clean up, and be busy in the afternoon." ”
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, under the order of Tian Zhongqiu, the owner, everyone also returned to normal, but when eating Tian Zhongqiu's meal, it felt like there was no taste in his mouth, obviously it couldn't be compared with the food just now.
"Ah Qiu, you didn't cook with your heart." Nagi Alice said with some emotion after adding a piece of shredded meat and eating it.
"I love to eat, and if I don't eat, go cool!" Tian Zhongqiu is most annoyed by this kind of person who eats pots and smashes pots.
Abbe didn't eat the food he cooked, but ate the food cooked by Tian Zhongqiu, smiled at Tian Zhongqiu with chopsticks, and said, "I think it's delicious!" ”
This is even more infuriating...... (To be continued.) )
