Chapter 8: Hibiscus Tofu (Part 3)
After all the ingredients were prepared, Chen Er officially started the live broadcast.
As soon as the live broadcast began, Chen Er told everyone very regretfully.
"You may feel very sleepy or hungry because of the jet lag......"
Chen Er paused at this point, and then continued, "But, what about me...... Of course, you don't feel that. ”
Chen Er said this sentence with a smile, and the barrage instantly became extremely hot.
"I'll go! Chen Lao is wet, you will be riddled like this! ”
"Chen Lao is wet! Just because of what you just said, I decided to make a bowl of instant noodles right away! ”
"The most painful thing at this moment is that the takeaway near my home is not delivered!"
“……”
Chen Er washed his hands, and then said to the camera, "Because the sun is shining in the United States at this moment, I won't tell cold jokes to the anchor, let's go straight to the point!" ”
Tea eggs invaded the earth: "Thank God, Chen Laoshi finally gave up telling cold jokes!" ”
Qingtian: "Chen Laoshi is going to make something delicious today!" You are now in the United States, do you want to make us some special food of the United States! ”
Eat a pound: "Uh...... What are the specialties of the United States? ”
There is a tiger in his heart: "It's probably Kaifeng Cai and the old grandfather surnamed Mai......"
Chen Er spread his hands and said, "Indeed, the food made by the anchor this time is not the local specialty food of the United States. ”
"Because the anchor came in a hurry, I don't know much about the food culture of the United States...... Today, let's make some of our Chinese specialties. ”
Chen Er took out the disposable gloves and put them on, "I can give you a preview of what today's two dishes are." ”
The camera pans to two baskets of flowers on the table.
"Hibiscus tofu, dragged noodles hosta."
Everyone was curious about the names of these two dishes that they had never heard of before.
But what everyone is more curious about is that hosta flowers can also be used to cook and eat.
Hibiscus flowers can be eaten, and most people still know about it.
Because they've all heard of hibiscus flower tea.
But this hibiscus flower is made with tofu, and it is still quite fresh.
As for what kind of drag-noodle hosta, everyone can't think of what it will look like and what it will taste like.
Chen Er explained to everyone at this time, "The names of these dishes are all come up with by myself, and the method comes from "Zunsheng Eight Notes". ”
"If you're interested, you can check it out, it's a very good book."
After Chen Er finished saying this, some fans of medicine outside the screen couldn't help but muttered in their hearts.
"Isn't this "Zunsheng Eight Notes" a medical book?"
At this time, it is not early, and it is necessary to prepare the dishes at lunchtime.
The first thing to do is not to process the ingredients, but to prepare the rice.
Steamed rice is better than boiled, and after Chen Er washes the rice, he first spreads a large lotus leaf in the steamer, and then puts the rice on top.
Lu Yukun and Guo Dagang stared at the kitchen door.
"Fortunately, you still have lotus flowers in this garden, let's wait for the lotus leaf rice to eat!"
After putting the rice in the steamer, it's time to start cooking.
Chen Er picked up the basket of hibiscus flowers first.
"Let's make the first course first, hibiscus tofu."
"There aren't many ingredients needed, only four."
"Fresh hibiscus flowers, tender tofu, fried chili peppers, pepper."
Chen Er took out the existing ingredients one by one.
"There are almost all the ingredients, and there is only one oil and pepper left."
Oily chili peppers are very simple to make.
First, put the chili flakes, salt, chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, and peppercorn powder in a bowl.
Then pour the boiling hot oil directly into the bowl, stir well, and you are ready to use.
After the oil and pepper were ready, Chen Er began to process the hibiscus flowers.
"Flowers and leaves can be used as medicine, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and draining pus, cooling blood and stopping bleeding."
"At the same time, Fleur can also be used for food."
"For example, hibiscus flowers can be combined with chicken to make hibiscus flower chicken fillets, which are soft and smooth to eat."
"Hibiscus flowers can also be cooked with japonica rice to make hibiscus flower porridge, which has a sweet and charming smell."
"Of course, the hibiscus tofu I'm going to make today, it's an uncommon delicacy."
Some fans couldn't help but send a barrage to complain, "Chen Laoshi, just say, which dish do you cook is common?" ”
Chen Er said to the camera very seriously, "Lotus leaf rice is quite common. ”
Fans: "......"
Chen Er removed the hibiscus flowers from the basket and set them aside for later use.
After the hibiscus flowers are processed, turn on the fire on the stove and pour water into the large iron pot.
"The only thing that's a pity today is that you can't use firewood to cook."
Guo Dagang, who was outside the door, heard this, and hurriedly looked at Lu Yukun, as if he was condemning him with his eyes.
Lu Yukun spread his hands very helplessly.
"The firewood that Chen Laoshi uses is specific wood, and there are very few of them here, and the time is too short to find ......"
After the water boiled, Chen Er immediately turned off the fire and poured the hibiscus flowers into it to soak.
Then he picked up the large colander and gently flicked it in the pot.
Countless red hibiscus flowers float on the surface of the water, swaying a few times from time to time by the ripples on the water's surface.
It looks more vivid and vivid.
It's like stretching soft petals in the gust of wind when it's still on the branches.
Chen Er silently counted the time in his heart.
"Soak it for a minute and then immediately salvage it and drain it."
Chen Er put the petals he had scooped up into a snow-white plate.
"And then a second soak."
Clean the pot first, fill it with water again, pour the hibiscus flowers into it after boiling, and turn off the heat.
"The second time, again only for one minute."
When the hibiscus flowers are salvaged again, the petals become softer.
It's like when it's raining heavily, the flowers that are still standing on the branches are soaked by the rain, and the petals are all stuck together, looking pitiful and charming.
With a soggy beauty.
Chen Er divided the snow-white and delicate tofu into small cubes.
"Today's dish is very simple to make, and it is a practical home-cooked dish."
Sunny day: "It's a home-cooked dish I've never heard of......"
Pork stewed vermicelli: "If you are serious, you will lose, in Chen Laoshi's eyes, as long as it is a dish that he thinks is easy to make, it is a home-cooked dish......"
Watermelon is not an eastmelon: "The truth upstairs is ......"
Chen Er stacked the small squares of the divided tofu neatly on the cutting board.
Then take a small knife, carefully hold up a small cube of tofu, and use the knife to cut perfectly from the middle part.
At this time, the lens is very intimately magnified several times.
Everyone can clearly see that the white and tender tofu has been cut by a sharp knife.
When the blade cuts through the tofu, the tofu will even tremble slightly, like a jelly with an incomparable Q bomb.
The snow-white tofu clings tightly to the thin silver blade and is then evenly divided into two pieces.
