Chapter 70: Tofu in the North and South

After uncovering ten bean skins, Li Yi stopped, turned off the fire, and signaled to Wu Lei: "Go to the storage room and bring the wooden barrel, ready to get some pulp." ”

"Oh."

Wu Lei answered, and went to the storage room to get the bucket.

When Zhao Jinmai heard this, he asked curiously: "Isn't the oil bean skin revealed?" ”

"Don't reveal it, that's enough."

Li Yi took the rack with the oil bean skin to the oven at the back, which was provided by the sponsor and had the function of drying.

Putting the shelf in, Li Yi set up the drying function, and closed the oven door.

Liu Yifei came closer, counted the oil bean skins, and was a little surprised: "It's only ten?" Such a big pot of soy milk can only make ten yuba? ”

"That's how much you can do under normal practice."

Li Yi explained: "In a pot of soy milk, the first three oily skins boiled are the best, with the highest nutritional value, and after drying, they will also show a beautiful golden color."

But after ten layers, the oily skin will gradually turn brown, the color is not good-looking, and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced.

According to the normal process, 100 catties of soy milk will produce up to three catties of oily skin.

If you want to continue to take it, you have to add some reinforcement additives. ”

"Reinforcement enhancers? What is that? Zhao Jinmai was a little surprised.

"A food chemical raw material with a white powder appearance."

Li Yi explained: "The gluten enhancer is mainly composed of some food-grade raw materials such as emulsifiers, monoglycerides, soybean colloidal enzymes, and compound phosphates.

It can yellowen and brighten yuba, inhibit browning, and increase yield.

After adding a gluten enhancer, you can generally uncover about 30 layers, but after adding a gluten enhancer, you can't make tofu with soy milk. ”

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Liu Yifei couldn't help but take a breath: "Do we usually eat yuba with so many chemical components?" It's scary. ”

In the live broadcast room of the show, the audience was also a little frightened.

"Oh my God! What else can I eat now? Even yuba has so many chemical components? ”

"It's all technology and hard work!"

"It's really scary, is there still a natural and green food?"

Li Yi also noticed the barrage in the live broadcast room, so he smiled and explained to the camera: "You don't need to talk so much about food additives, in fact, as long as they are added in accordance with national standards, there will be no harm to the human body."

Of course, it is best to be able to eat pure natural food, and the nutrients of pure natural food are more comprehensive and better absorbed by the human body.

But you have also seen that I can only produce a little bean curd in such a big pot of soy milk.

If they are all made according to this process, how low is the yield of yuba?

As soon as the production is low, the price will go up, and in that case, I am afraid that the yuba will have to become a luxury that only the rich can afford. ”

Liu Yifei looked at the yuba in the oven and sighed: "If a pot of soy milk can only produce such a small amount of yuba, it is really a bit of a luxury!" ”

The audience in the live broadcast room heard Li Yi's explanation, and their feelings were also complicated.

"Who wouldn't want to eat something green and natural? But how expensive is that? ”

"You get what you pay for, but what is my monthly salary?"

"I also know that there is no meat in starch sausage, but I can't stand it!"

So why is there such a big gap between the rich and the poor? If the rich eat healthily and the offspring develop better, isn't that a beating for us children from poor families? ”

"Don't put everything on the heads of the rich! It's not easy for rich people to eat healthy, those things that are green, natural, organic, and healthy, selling one more expensive than the other, obviously collecting IQ taxes, for the sake of children, you still have to buy hard, and finally make some money, all of which are earned by profiteers. ”

"It's still better than before! It's hard to eat something healthy now! ”

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Li Yi smiled and said: "Don't be disappointed, everyone, so be it!" The program team has ordered a batch of beans, and when I get back, I can make some handmade yuba and conduct a wave barrage lottery to give to you. ”

When Liu Yifei heard this, she immediately raised her hand with a smile: "Count me in." ”

"And me! And me! Zhao Jinmai also raised his hand to sign up.

Hearing their words, the audience in the live broadcast room also became excited, and the barrage was surging.

"! Really? ”

"Must be supported!"

"Your name is Li Yi, right? Good! I remember you, and it's a good thing to do! ”

"Wow! The chef is so nice! The road has turned to powder! ”

"How embarrassing is it? Let's go on the link! ”

"Can you fork the upstairs one out of me?"

"Can you write who did it? I want my Mai Mai to make it myself! ”

"I want Sister Fairy to do it!"

In the satellite car, Wang Tian looked at the surging barrage and couldn't help but show a smile.

Now it seems that it is really right to invite Li Yi to participate in the show.

has craftsmanship, has program effects, and knows how to make the audience happy, a few words will make the audience excited, and the popularity will rise, this is a talent that can not be found!

"I'm back!"

In the kitchen, Wu Lei carried two large wooden barrels and returned to the kitchen.

"I saw two, so I brought them both."

He placed the barrel on the ground and flicked his wrist: "Wow! This barrel is so heavy! ”

This is a pure wooden bucket that Li Yi asked the program team to customize, which is made of cedar wood.

The wood of cedar wood is hard, dense and weight-induced.

"Exactly, you have to use two buckets."

As he spoke, Li Yi took out a brown glass bottle and a bag of white powder from the cabinet containing the spices.

Wu Lei looked at it curiously and asked, "Brother Yi, what is this?" ”

Li Yi put two things on the operation table and explained casually: "The glass bottle is salt brine, also called brine, and the bag is gypsum powder." ”

"I know! What does that idiom say? ”

Wu Lei thought for a while and patted his head: "Brine and tofu, one thing and one thing, right?" ”

"Elementary school students know it."

Zhao Jinmai laughed and teased.

Liu Yifei pointed to the gypsum powder: "The tofu in my hometown is made of gypsum, are these two things different from the tofu?" ”

"Of course not."

Li Yi picked up the gypsum powder and explained: "The tofu made by traditional crafts is divided into southern tofu and northern tofu, and southern tofu is tofu made of gypsum.

South tofu has a higher water content, a more uniform texture, soft and delicate, and a white color, so it is also called tender tofu.

Tender tofu is more suitable for burning and eating, making tofu soup, don't you want to eat mapo tofu? Mapo tofu has to be made with tender tofu. ”

As he spoke, Li Yi picked up the brown glass bottle again and explained: "Northern tofu is tofu made with this kind of salt and brine tofu, also called brine tofu, or old tofu.

The texture of old tofu is harder, more grainy, with many small holes on the surface, and the bean flavor is stronger.

This kind of old tofu is more suitable for cooking, stir-frying, frying, stuffing, or carving, and its shape will be relatively intact. ”

After Zhao Jinmai heard it, he nodded again and again: "What I sell over there is northern tofu, someone pushes a cart on the street to sell it, cuts off a piece, doesn't put any seasonings, and it's delicious to eat in vain!" ”
