CHAPTER IX
Chen Er glanced at the barrage on the big screen, then looked at Zhao Shiqi and motioned for Zhao Shiqi to pick a word.
Zhao Shiqi was a little nervous, she thought, she has to pick this word carefully, she must choose a word that looks very simple, otherwise, what if Chen Er can't make it, or can't get the ingredients together?
So, her eyes searched for a long time on the large barrage, and finally picked a word.
Press the screenshot button, then point to the word, "I'll just pick it." ”
Chen Er looked up and saw that it was a "one" word.
The other guests were all confused when they saw that word, and they couldn't understand what the meaning of Zhao Shiqi's choice of this word was?
And everyone doesn't know what kind of dish it is, so it starts with "one".
Xie Mi was obviously very surprised when she saw the words chosen by Zhao Shiqi.
She quietly asked Zhao Shiqi, "Why did you choose such a word......
Zhao Shiqi looked at Xie Mi and asked very seriously, "This word is very good, isn't the beginning of a dish one, Chen Er can do anything." ”
Xie Mi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly didn't know what to answer.
Chen Er smiled and said, "Well, today's first dish has been produced." ”
He looked at the other guests and motioned for them to choose too.
"Feel free and trust my abilities."
Chen Er encouraged them.
So the remaining four words were quickly chosen.
Xie Mi's choice of words is very simple, the word "slip".
Slipping was originally a cooking technique, and Xie Mi deliberately chose this word so that Chen Er could choose the dish.
Of course, Chen Er also knew, so he smiled and nodded at her.
Zhao Shiqi saw the words chosen by Xie Mi, and began to wonder if the words she chose were a little bad......
The words chosen by the other three guests are very interesting.
One of them, like Zhao Shiqi, chose the numeric text, "four".
There are two left, one chose the more bizarre word "Cui", and the other has an obvious purpose, choosing the word "Buddha".
These words look very strange, at least in the eyes of fans.
"Chen Lao is wet, pretending to be cool for a while...... Now you know the cost......"
"Of these five words, only two words are easier to guess the name of the dish."
"Slip, you can make a lot of dishes, cucumbers, cabbage, ......"
"That Buddha word should be the most obvious word, Buddha jumping over the wall!"
"Dig, this guest is really a scheming boy, he knows the most expensive dish as soon as he comes!"
"Am I the only one who is worried that Chen Laoshi will not be able to get together the ingredients?"
"Yes, I heard that the Buddha jumps over the wall and needs dozens of ingredients!"
"I don't know if Chen Laoshi's restaurant is close to the vegetable market, can I go and buy ingredients?"
Chen Er saw these barrages in his eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Who said that the only dish that starts with the word Buddha is Buddha jumping over the wall?" ”
Chen Er said to the camera, "Now, let's make the first dish first." ”
He looked at Zhao Shiqi.
"The word Zhao Shiqi chose is, one."
"It's not uncommon to see food that starts with one."
"For example, a bite of crisp, a product of official swallow, a product of tofu ......"
Chen Er opened the fresh-keeping cabinet beside him with a smile, "Of course I have to choose a more ...... anchor"
The guests and off-screen fans all looked at Chen Er with great anticipation.
Chen Er turned around and took out a whole piece of white, tender, slippery tofu.
"Of course, we have to choose cheaper ingredients, and we have to be frugal and frugal."
Fans: "Poof! A mouthful of old blood! ”
Chen Er put the plate of tofu on the table, "The first dish of the day is a taste of tofu." ”
Yipin tofu is a classic specialty dish that belongs to Confucian cuisine.
Confucian cuisine is an important part of Chinese food culture, which originated in the first year of Song Renzong and was used to receive VIPs, take office, birthdays, weddings and funerals.
The Confucian banquet followed the rank of the father and son of the monarch and the minister, and there were different specifications. Due to the special position of Confucius in the feudal dynasties and preserved, it was the official dish of the Qianlong era. Confucian cooking is basically divided into two categories. One is banquet eating; One is the daily home meal. Although banquet dishes and home-cooked dishes are sometimes used in common with each other, there is a difference in cooking.
Confucian cuisine pays attention to the integrity of the shape, does not hurt the skin and bones, and it is very difficult to master the seasoning and molding. Confucian specialties include roasted flower basket osmanthus fish, roast duck, roast suckling pig, Yipin tofu, Shouzi duck soup and so on.
Chen Er thought for a while and said, "Today is the first time to cook Confucian cuisine, and I feel a little interesting." ”
From the name of the dish, it seems that this dish is just a dish of tofu, but in fact, there is more than one ingredient required to make this dish.
To make a tofu, you need to use a total of nine ingredients, including tofu.
Chen Er found out the ingredients and introduced them to everyone.
"The nine ingredients that need to be used are, 750 grams of tofu, 25 grams of Shuifa mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and ham, and 50 grams of Shuifa dried scallops, Shuifa sea cucumbers, pork fat and lean meat, and fresh shrimp."
After taking out the ingredients needed one by one and putting them on the table, Chen Er said again, "Actually, the weight of the ingredients does not necessarily need to be so precise, after all, everyone has different tastes, and you can slightly change the amount of ingredients according to your preferences." ”
Chen Er first chopped dried scallops, sea cucumbers, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, fatty and lean pork, water chestnuts, ham and other ingredients into dices.
Then put the sliced ingredients together with the shrimp and blanch them in a hot pot.
After blanching, scoop up, drain the water, add cooking wine, and marinate in fine salt for five minutes.
"Okay, let's deal with this tofu."
Chen Er held the whole piece of tofu on the plate in the palm of his hand.
The tofu is white and delicate, like a beauty's beautiful skin, and the tentacles are lubricated, which makes people love it.
"There is one of the most important things to make this Yipin tofu, that is, this tofu must be a whole large square tofu."
The ancients of China, no matter what they do, pay attention to a round place, because Huaxia has always liked to say that "heaven and man are one." ”
Therefore, the ancient Chinese house was also built in a "round place", even for cooking.
Yipin tofu must be a neat and neat square.
Then use a spoon to dig a circular pit in the center of the tofu.
This is where the freshly marinated dices come in handy.
Fill all the diced ingredients into the tofu and use a spoon to press it tightly, taking care not to break the tofu.
As for the piece of tofu skin that was just scooped up with a spoon, it can be used as a lid at this time, and it can be covered back again, and it can just cover the diced ingredients.
Chen Er took out a purple casserole for making soup and carefully put the piece of tofu into it.
Then pour the stock around the tofu.
Cover the casserole with a lid.
Chen Er clapped his hands and said, "Just simmer for an hour." ”
The guests on the side were all surprised when they heard this, "It takes an hour to cook a tofu, won't this be boiled?" ”
Chen Er thought about it carefully, and then said seriously, "It shouldn't be cooked." ”
