Chapter 235: This is the taste
After everyone went out, Zhou Ziyi took a green vegetable to wash and a piece of tofu.
Green vegetables and tofu are the dishes that need umami the most, and they can best reflect the deliciousness of her thirteen spices.
After the greens are washed, put oil in the pot, add minced garlic, add salt, fry until broken, and finally add thirteen spices when you go abroad.
Tofu is actually more delicious to make mapo tofu, but she thought of what she just said, those guests all eat fasting and chanting Buddha, and think that it should be some who prefer light tastes, so she only made a shallot mixed with tofu.
Shallot tofu is a very common home-cooked dish, first cut the tofu into small cubes, put it in the pot with water, and wait for the beany smell of the tofu to be boiled, then take it out and put it in cold water for a while.
Add salt, thirteen spices and stir well, then add chopped green onions. Finally, add vegetable oil to the pot and cook, and pour it directly on top of the tofu.
Soon, two home-cooked side dishes were ready.
It's a good match.
Open the door of the back kitchen and invite in the chef and Fang who were waiting outside.
Seeing the ordinary two side dishes, Chef Fang smiled directly. "Just two home-cooked dishes, haven't you ever eaten them? How could a noble person like such a thing? ”
Zhou Ziyi was not angry, but said. "You taste it."
Chef Fang was silent, but the shopkeeper over there had already taken a pair of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Because it is served cold, it retains the tender taste of the tofu itself. But it's not like white tofu with an unacceptable beany smell.
The shopkeeper chewed twice, first the fragrance of oil and salt, and then a fresh fragrance lingering between his lips and teeth.
It was a scent he couldn't describe, like meat, but not like it. For a while, I forgot about the evaluation.
Chef Fang next to him originally thought that the shopkeeper's affirmation would overturn Zhou Ziyi's dishes at once, but he didn't expect that he would be attracted.
Is it really delicious? How is that possible? Suspicious, he also took the chopsticks and tasted them.
In the next second, his face was complicated.
Busy tasted another bite of greens, and after that, he put down his chopsticks with a snap. "You little girl, you are not small, you dare to use broth."
Zhou Ziyi shook her head, "I didn't!" ”
The shopkeeper was also puzzled, "If you didn't put it, why would this dish be so fragrant?" ”
Chef Fang refused to let go of Zhou Ziyi, he had dominated Yunlai Lou for so many years, how could he be willing to lose to a little girl?
So, busy and talking. "Shopkeeper, don't be deceived by her. Luckily, we tried this dish first, and if we had served it directly, we might not have been able to save our lives now. ”
The shopkeeper frowned, "Ziyi, this matter is really extraordinary, you tell me the truth, what did you put away?" ”
Zhou Ziyi didn't hide it anymore, and immediately took out the small bottle he brought.
"Actually, it's this!"
The shopkeeper picked it up and took a look, opened the bottle cap and sniffed it, and the next second, he laughed excitedly. "That's what it tastes like, what is it?"
Zhou Ziyi smiled, "This is thirteen spices, as the name suggests, it is made of thirteen spices, and his role is to add the umami of food." Let the originally plain side dishes become delicious and moving. ”
The shopkeeper was like a treasure, "This is great, can Ziyi's bottle be used for me first?" ”
Zhou Ziyi nodded, "Naturally." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly handed it to the chef, "Quick, hurry up and prepare the stir-fry." ”
Chef Fang suddenly threw his apron, "I don't do it!" ”
