Chapter 204: The Duel on the Lou Lin Ship (12)
Shao'an's superb cooking skills, I don't know how many people were conquered, and the little master also stared at Shao'an's movements tightly, which belonged to his old problem, whenever he saw any superb cooking skills, he would stare at it tightly, and he didn't care about what kind of occasion it was.
This was originally tender tofu, so Shao'an didn't let the tofu in the pot too much, otherwise it would make the smooth and tender taste of the tofu lost, so Shao'an's tofu was quickly out of the pot, and there was still no action on the side of the little master, the little master seemed very bored sitting where he looked at the mold in front of him, not knowing what he was doing, if he didn't hurry, then there would be no time to cook.
Ling Yang looked at the little master very puzzled, was the little master ready to admit defeat like this? However, according to Ling Yang's understanding of the little master, it is impossible for him to do this, not to mention, this duel between him and Shao An is not such a simple duel.
This not only involves the legendary kitchenware, but also the leader of the Shanghai cuisine industry, that is, the life and death of Ah Q's father, so he can't be careless, but the appearance of the little master really makes Ling Yang very incomprehensible.
But when he saw the smug smile on the corner of Xiang En's mouth, Ling Yang understood, it seemed that something should have happened to the little master's tofu, and it was made by Xiang En, a cruel and vicious woman, otherwise, the little master would not have stopped cooking tofu.
As the time passed, the stipulated sixteen-hour time was still up, and finally it was time to review, and when the time was up, the little master walked up directly with the mold, could it be that he was going to treat this tofu that had not been cooked in any way as a dish for a showdown with Shao'an?
Under the gaze of hundreds of people, the little master came to the stage and unveiled his tofu mold, and then presented in front of everyone was a huge black and white layered tofu, under the tofu there was a plate, and between the tofu and the plate there were some bamboo leaves, which looked like that.
"Hey, little ghost, anyway, if you throw such a large piece of tofu in front of us and tell us to eat it like this, it's too unadorned." Master He looked at the little master and said.
"yes, at least cut it for us."
"I don't think there's any need for that, because it's not just a piece of tofu, it's a tofu dish, and I'm going to start doing magic now!" The little master looked at a few people and said.
After finishing speaking, he put his two hands on the bamboo leaves on both sides of the plate, and then quickly pulled out these bamboo leaves and threw them into the sky, and then everyone saw these bamboo leaves fall down one by one, when it fell on the tofu, this originally very complete tofu suddenly appeared cracks, these cracks just split the big tofu into pieces of small cubes, and finally the plate actually appeared red liquid, these divided small cube tofu, fell in these liquids.
"The little master is specially made, the big magic panda Mapo, it's done!!"
"What, it turned out to be mapo tofu."
"But it's really wonderful, when the bamboo leaves fall, the black and white tofu is like a panda frolicking in the mountains."
"Don't say so much, it's time to start trying it, I'm very interested in the little master's mapo tofu." Mr. Zhang said.
In the end, the five judges decided to try the mapo tofu that they had been in charge of since childhood, Xiang En was very shocked when he saw this scene, and then he looked like he was watching a good show, but after the judges tried a bite, Xiang En looked very stunned when he saw their expressions, Ling Yang looked at Xiang En's expression as if it was a Sichuan opera face, and he wanted to laugh.
The five judges tried the little master's panda mapo tofu, eating sweaty, but still couldn't stop, although everyone was sweating profusely, but the expression on their faces was very happy, and at the same time listening to what the judges said, they knew that the little master's mapo tofu, this black tofu turned out to be sweet tofu.
"The feeling of chili pepper stimulating the tongue, as spicy and spicy as fire, paralyzing the taste of pepper in an instant, neutralizing the two with top-quality white tofu, and finally using the rich sweetness of black tofu, the indescribable spiciness, once again set off the whole thing, this is my big magic panda mapo tofu!" The little master looked at the five people and said.
"There's a lot hidden in this work, can you tell us now?" Master He looked at the little master and asked.
"Of course, first of all, please take a look at this mold, this is a hollow mold box that has been modified to shorten the cooking time," the little master lifted up the mold box next to them to show them, and under the mold box was a criss-crossing net woven with threads, "first lay a layer of lard board on this net, then pour the black semi-finished tofu into it, and then press the lard plate, and pour the white semi-finished tofu into it, the lard plate, the black semi-finished tofu...... Layer by layer,"
"When the tofu is solidified about eighty percent, put the charcoal fire from the bottom into it, and the mold will directly become a steamer, at this time, when the lard plate used for the partition melts when it is heated, all of it seeps into the tofu, and then the plate is put up from the bottom, when the mold is pulled up, the tofu is completely turned into a small cube of the cube through the cutting of the line, and finally the bamboo leaves on the plate are removed, and the tofu can be combined with the mapo sauce prepared in advance."
"I see, but to hear you say that, it's not magical." Master Zhang pinched his chin and said.
Later, when the little master was asked why he came up with such an interesting idea, the little master looked at Xiang En and smiled and said that it was because of a young lady's prompt, and asked people to bring up the bad soybeans, only to see that these soybeans had turned into natto, and as soon as they were uncovered, they emitted a foul smell.
When all the mysteries of the big magic panda mapo tofu were revealed, the judges also began to taste Shao'an's dishes, originally they were all served to a small plate to taste, but when they took a bite, they rushed to the big plate to scramble, looking at their appearance, if it wasn't for the fact that there were many in the big plate, maybe they would have fought because of such a dish.
"Tofu trio, hehehe, I used to make it back then, but at that time my cooking skills were not up to the current level, I don't know if what I make now can compete with Shao'an?" Ling Yang stood aside and thought to himself.
