Then this time Meng Chuan came to make a mapo tofu, and the spicy dishes in winter are still warm, and the taste is good, which is very suitable for eating now.

The secretary is more fond of nutrition, so he is going to make shrimp tofu.

The recipe for mapo tofu is not difficult, first cut the tofu into two-centimeter pieces, and then put it in cold water with salt to soak for a period of time, so that the tofu will not be easy to disperse.

After the tofu is done, start to chop the meat foam, and it is best to put some meat in the mapo tofu, otherwise it will lose some taste, and if you don't like to eat meat, it is okay not to put it.

Mapo tofu is a Sichuan dish, so the indispensable thing is bean paste, and the most prominent feature of mapo tofu is spicy, so Sichuan pepper is indispensable, and sesame pepper must also be available.

Let's stir-fry peppercorns and peppercorns, put in oil, and when the oil is hot, put in peppercorns and peppercorns, if you are not afraid of eating peppercorns, this peppercorns do not need to be fished out, if you don't like to eat peppercorns, then you can use a small drain to take out the peppercorns and peppercorns and throw them away.

After the pepper is stir-fried, pour in the onions, ginger and garlic slices and other accessories, after the fragrance, pour in the bean paste and start stir-frying, the bean paste must be fried, and it tastes more fragrant after being fried.

As soon as the meat foam goes, a fragrance of fried meat comes out, because the meat foam is relatively broken, and it will taste when it is fried, so it can not be stir-fried, two minutes is OK, because to make mapo tofu, you must need a little soup, at this time you can add a small half bowl of water, remember not to add more, because when you finish the tofu, you will also add some starch water, which can make the soup of mapo tofu more rich and taste better.

Half a bowl of water boiled quickly, and Meng Chuan took out the tofu soaked in cold water and put it in the pot and stir-fried.

The tofu soaked in salted water is very firm, so if you put it in and stir-fry, it will not fall apart.

Then add half a bowl of starch water, the water at this time and the tofu are almost the same, if you eat this dish at home, you can get out of the pot now, and the soup can also be soaked in rice, but Meng Chuan This is for the game, and the soup is not good, so just cook for two more minutes, and then sprinkle some green onions to get out of the pot.

There is no need to put salt in this dish of mapo tofu, because the bean paste already contains salt, plus the tofu that Meng Chuan soaked in salt water just now, so the taste must be enough.

After it is put on a plate, a plate of brightly colored mapo tofu is presented in front of everyone.

At this time, the plate of shrimp and tofu made by the secretary was almost good, just now Meng Chuan stole a look twice, his method is to put the shrimp and tofu into the oil pot and fry, and then add starch to boil, the salt is very little, the soup is white, the taste is very light, plus the color of green pepper and red pepper, it is also a very good dish.

These two dishes have their own advantages, first from the color point of view, the color of mapo tofu is bright and bright, and it feels like drooling when you see it, and it is very good to eat.

The shrimp tofu is very light, and the white broth makes it look very elegant, and if you start an appetizer before cooking, the effect should be very good.

Uncle Liu said: "From the point of view of color, you all have your own merits, one is spicy and fragrant, and the other is light and elegant. ”

What Uncle Liu said was indeed reasonable, Meng Chuan nodded and said, "Agreed." ”

The secretary also nodded, "Agreed." ”

Uncle Liu saw that both of them agreed, and continued: "Okay, let's judge from the fragrance, the spicy taste of mapo tofu must be smelled by everyone, this spicy is not the ordinary kind of dry and spicy, this one smells very soft and smells very good, secretary, you can come and smell it to see if my old Liu is wrong." ”

The secretary sniffed it, and it was indeed so, so he nodded and said, "Agreed." ”

Then Uncle Liu began to talk about shrimp tofu, "This tofu is light, and the spicy style of Assistant Meng is different, although this tofu doesn't smell anything at once, but if you smell it carefully, you can smell the meat aroma of vegetarian food, it is estimated that the shrimp has worked, Assistant Meng, you can smell it." ”

Meng Chuan also smelled it, and it was indeed such a fragrance, so he nodded and said, "Agreed." ”

My Lao Liu's opinion is that in terms of fragrance, it can be a draw.

Meng Chuan and the secretary nodded at the same time, "Agreed." ”

"Then the rest is the taste, whoever tastes good, who wins, but two dishes that don't use style, if you force the price comparison, I think it's unfair, it's better for you to eat it yourself, if you finish eating, no one is convinced, then you can only tie, wait for the next time you cook, make the same dish, then it's good to evaluate."

The secretary didn't believe how delicious the mapo tofu made by Meng Chuan was, so he picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'll taste the taste of this mapo tofu first." ”

When the secretary picked up the mapo tofu and put it in his mouth, he was suddenly stunned, after the tofu entered the mouth, he suddenly felt that his mouth was not obeying, was it because of the pepper, how did he start to move, numb and spicy, but he didn't feel numb or spicy, his mouth just didn't listen to his own call, he moved, after swallowing the tofu, the secretary suddenly felt a big appetite, and it was okay to eat two or three bowls of rice at once.

Obviously tasting the opponent's dish, why does it make people feel happy when they eat it, is it because the spicy relaxes the mood, this Assistant Meng's cooking skills are too good, and he can't match it at all.

So the secretary quickly put down the chopsticks and said, "Assistant Meng, I just ate the dishes you cooked, and they did it really well, I admit defeat." ”

Hearing what the secretary said, Meng Chuan knew that it was the delicious addition of the system, and the food produced by the system would taste better than ordinary dishes, and he was a little overwhelmed.

So Meng Chuan said: "Actually, I also want to say that your food is very good, let's have a tie, and next time we have a chance, let's try it." ”

The secretary knew that his dishes were not as good as Meng Chuan's, but he didn't expect Meng Chuan to give himself face like this, so he waved his hand and said: "Technical things, winning is winning, losing is losing, there is no draw, although I didn't win you this time, but I will definitely have a chance to win you next time." ”

Meng Chuan saw that the secretary was still very serious about the convenience of cooking, and also praised: "I also look forward to the next time you cook, you are growing, and I will not lag behind." ”

The secretary said with a smile: "No, I feel that I am at a loss, next time I have to add nutrition, who makes the food is not only delicious but also nutritious." ”

Meng Chuan nodded and said, "I can't ask for it, I happen to have a little research on nutrition." (To be continued.) )
