Chapter 139: Mapo Tofu Simplified Version

Kagawa nervously cut a small piece of tofu and put it in the bowl, the familiar bean aroma wafting from the cross-section of the tofu, but Kagawa was still not at ease, the smell of the smell and the indescribable taste of the example had been experienced when cooking modern pork before, and she would not believe too much in the superficial aroma until she actually ate it in her mouth.

What's more, there are liquid foods that smell tasteless but can refresh the worldview when eaten, and the unpalatable once made Kagawa wonder if modern people have given up on the pursuit of food with both color and flavor.

Fortunately, when she saw her sister praising the cake decorating made by Liang Gong, she was relieved.

Putting a small piece of chopped tofu into a bowl, Kagawa picked up a spoon and scooped up a small bite to his mouth, when he suddenly remembered something: I have never eaten uncooked tofu!

What does uncooked tofu taste like? Kagawa racked his brain and thought about tofu dishes, and suddenly thought of the undercooked tofu bubbles, or fried tofu, that he had bitten into when he was eating hot vegetables at home in winter. Freshly made tofu naturally does not have a golden and chewy skin like fried tofu, and uncooked fried tofu tastes dry and tasteless, and the part inside is also a little beany smell. Think about the unsweetened freshly squeezed soy milk that Kagawa drank yesterday, and there is a smell of beany that modern people can't accept, and the taste of tofu in front of you is probably similar to that soy milk.

The premise is that she has a good grasp of the amount of white vinegar used for marinating, otherwise she will rush back to the room to quickly check the cooking method of sour tofu.

After doing a good job of psychological construction, Kagawa put this spoonful of tofu into his mouth with the consciousness of being open-minded, and the four onlookers couldn't help but get nervous together.

Kagawa chewed gently with his teeth, tasted it in his mouth, and swallowed the spoonful of tofu with a delicate expression. When the four of them saw her like this, their hearts also sank: Is it difficult, failed?

Seeing Kagawa frowning and silent, Ouyang Yating suppressed the doubts in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "It's okay, Kagawa, if you fail this time, just keep trying next time, you have so many beans in your warehouse......"

"Huh?" Kagawa came back to his senses when he saw Ouyang Yating coming over nervously, and saw the nervous expressions of the four people and knew that they had misunderstood something, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, you misunderstood, the tofu is fine, the recipe is right, I just didn't expect the freshly made tofu to taste like this." ”

To be precise, I didn't expect uncooked tofu to taste so indescribable. When this sentence came to his mouth, Kagawa quickly changed his words, after all, the tofu in her kitchen is estimated to be the first piece of tofu in modern times, modern people have never even seen tofu, where have they eaten cooked tofu, if this sentence is said, it will be really exposed, and one of the members of her own group is one, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Taste?" Ouyang Yating and the three of them looked at each other, each took a spoon and scooped a small spoonful of tofu from Kagawa's bowl and put it in his mouth, and then Kagawa saw that the expressions of the three of them gradually changed from curiosity to indescribable complexity.

"Did the ancients really cook with this kind of thing?" Aino, who was not accustomed to the smell of beans, swallowed the tofu in his mouth with the principle of not wasting food, but his face was as dark as when he saw Kagawa's math monthly test scores.

Kagawa laughed dryly. Even she, an "ancient person", is not used to eating tofu directly, let alone a modern person. However, seeing that the three of them were already lacking interest in this tofu, she hurriedly said: "I don't think it will be possible to eat it directly, I'll try to refer to the recipe to make it." ”

As a result, the old method can only be used to justify the name of tofu.

Kagawa opens the inventory in the warehouse and the list of medicinal herbs that he has at home.

There wasn't much time left before eating after pouring the tofu, and it was not appropriate for her to rush back to her room to search for tofu recipes, so she could only search for some simple tofu meals from her memories of watching her mother cook in her hometown and cooking in person in the year or two after graduating from college.

Tofu is actually very simple to cook. Tofu is an ingredient that is very good at absorbing soup, and whether it tastes good on the dinner plate depends mostly on other ingredients, seasonings or cooking techniques...... Kagawa can list a list of tofu dishes that he remembers eating, but it is really difficult to choose the ones that can be made at the moment.

The biggest difficulty is that the seasoning is not enough, this seasoning refers not only to soy sauce, but also to oyster sauce, pepper and other condiments that modern people have not been exposed to.

There are many lighter recipes to choose from, but this time is tight, so she prefers to choose some that sit up relatively quickly.

After finalizing tonight's dinner menu in her heart, the onlookers also began to be commanded by her to help the trio, thanks to some basic skills that the three of them practiced during the usual club activity time, simple chopping and pickling are naturally not a problem, and Kagawa can naturally free up his hands to deal with tofu and seasonings.

Tool R...... Oh no, it's really nice to have more helpers. Kagawa thought with relief.

When Xiang Weiguo and his wife came back from work and walked into the dining room, they smelled some pungent aromas, and the table had already set up noodles and steamed fish with tomato sauce as the staple food.

The couple looked at each other: Could this be what the eldest daughter was talking about in the morning? Bean curd?

"Ah, Mom and Dad, you're back." Xiangxue put away the suspended camera, and as soon as she looked up and saw her parents, she immediately turned into a good baby, Lin Ming next to her had long been accustomed to her partner's instantaneous face change, and she also politely greeted the two elders.

Nodding to the two children in response, Xiangqi said hello in the morning today that there were student union activities in the afternoon, so he didn't come back to eat in the evening, but there were people from the Kagawa Club and this little tail beside Xiangxue, and it was still very lively at night, but now I didn't find the other four people in the Tip of the Tongue Club.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the kitchen.

First of all, the eldest daughter chattered endlessly: "-Okay, the non-spicy mapo tofu is ready, I am satisfied, but how can it be called mapo if it is not spicy-"

"Okay, okay, you have been talking since you started to use the knife, what is there to worry about after the dishes are done, you can't sprinkle a handful of chili powder on it." It was Aino who replied.

"It's not impossible to ......"

"Stop." "Stop." "Please don't do that." The three members of the group spoke in unison.

Then I saw my eldest daughter come out of the kitchen with a black face and a big star with two big bowls, and when she saw the two of them, she also performed a familiar Sichuan opera face: "Dad, Mom, you're back." ”

My daughters are really biological sisters. The couple thought in unison, and then saw two large soup bowls brought by Daxing containing the red soup and the milky white lumps in it.

Before the two could speak, Kagawa walked up and beckoned the two to serve the table as soon as possible: "Come and serve it, come and taste whether mapo tofu is appetizing." ”

It's mapo tofu, yes, but it's a super magic version with no peppercorns and only minced beef. Kagawa silently apologized in his heart to the mapo tofu he usually eats at the Sichuan restaurant. There's no way, I can't make up anything under special circumstances, but people are addicted to vegetables and want to eat mapo tofu to satisfy their cravings, and that's what it turned out to be.

After the first half of the month was dealt with, I started to prepare for the update, but the sudden cold caused a cough, and now my lungs are about to explode...... Everyone should pay attention to their bodies in winter
