Chapter 82: Vegetarian Stock

With the base vegetarian stock, it is only the first step in hanging soup.

Subsequently, Li Yi put all the soaked dried mushrooms into a large soup pot, then poured in pure water, filled it to the mouth, and boiled it over high heat.

When the fire is turned on, the rich aroma of mushrooms has already begun to diffuse.

Smelling the aroma of mushrooms in the air, everyone present was intrigued.

"It smells so good!"

Zhao Jinmai was attracted by the aroma.

She took Liu Yifei's hand and said excitedly: "I ate the beef noodles made by Brother Yi that time, and the first time I smelled the beef broth he used, that's how I felt." ”

As she spoke, she ran to the soup pot, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Brother Yi, is this the vegetarian soup?" ”

"It's still early! This is just the beginning. ”

Li Yi said, and cut the chanterelles and greenhead mushrooms that had been washed before into slices and put them in the soup pot.

These two kinds of mushrooms are two kinds of fresh mushrooms that are more suitable for stewed soup, and they have a unique fragrance.

Then he put another peeled sugar cane inside.

This cane is meant to add some natural sweetness to the stock.

Then, he took a soaked lotus leaf, covered it over the mouth of the soup pot, and tied it tightly with hemp rope.

He also covered a piece of wet cotton cloth, completely sealed the mouth of the pot, and sealed it tightly.

Turning the heat to lukewarm, he took out his phone, looked at the time, and set an alarm clock for two hours.

After two hours, the vegetarian soup is finished.

But in order to meet Li Yi's needs for making tofu feasts, this vegetarian soup is not enough.

In addition to vegetarian meats such as vegetarian chicken, vegetarian ham, and vegetarian beef, there will also be vegetarian seafood such as vegetarian fish, vegetarian shrimp, and vegetarian sea cucumber.

This vegetarian soup with mushrooms as the main ingredient is more suitable for vegetarian meat dishes.

Because the main ingredient of this vegetarian soup is mushrooms from the mountains, it is also called vegetarian soup.

To make vegetarian seafood, you need to use another recipe of vegetarian broth, also called vegetarian seafood soup.

The vegetarian seafood soup is mainly used to simulate the taste of seafood, so the main ingredients used are all plants from the sea.

Similarly, when choosing sea vegetables, Li Yi also chose dried goods, mainly dried kelp and dried kelp.

In addition to the most common kelp and kelp, Li Yi also prepared stone cauliflower, which is known as the bird's nest under the sea, as well as wakame, seaweed and other sea vegetables.

In addition, there are soybean sprouts and white radish, which are also important bases for vegetarian seafood soup.

This soup is not a hassle, just put all the processed ingredients into the pot and simmer together.

However, when it was simmering, Li Yi put a tender corn in the pot.

This corn is used to add sweetness to the broth, and it can also be used to absorb the excess fishy smell of seaweed.

According to the same method, Li Yi sealed the mouth of the pot with lotus leaves and wet cotton cloth.

At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the night.

From 10 o'clock in the morning to the live broadcast now, it has been a full ten hours.

Not only has the audience in the live broadcast room changed a few times, but even the film crew has already changed.

In order to ensure the smooth live broadcast throughout the day, the program team specially arranged two groups of personnel to work in shifts.

But the artists in front of the camera can't be rotated.

Wu Lei grinded beans for a day, even if he was young and powerful, and he often exercised, he was tired enough to choke at the end of the day.

Although Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai didn't do much heavy physical work, they were so busy that they didn't even have time to sit for a while.

Finally, after helping Li Yi pour all the ordered tofu into the mold, they could finally rest for a while.

"Whew! It feels so good to sit down. ”

As soon as Liu Yifei sat on the chair, the whole person fell into the chair and was too lazy to get up again.

Zhao Jinmai didn't even have the strength to speak, just nestled in the chair and muttered: "I'm so tired..."

Although Wu Lei's footsteps were a little dragged, he still put on a disapproving look: "It's okay!" Not as tired as I thought. ”

With that, he also found a chair and sat down.

But as soon as he sat down, his face was full of looks like he was about to ascend to heaven: "Huh~!" Comfortable! ”

Huang Xiaoming was still helping Li Yi stack the tofu molds and press the bucket on them.

After pressing the tofu, Li Yi clapped his hands, turned around to look at the three people who were about to collapse, and said with a smile: "I've worked hard for you, I'm tired for a day, you go back and rest first!" ”

"No return! Resolutely not back! ”

Wu Lei put his head on the back of the chair and waved his hands lazily: "I'm tired all day, and I won't leave without a bowl of steaming soup to drink!" ”

Li Yi smiled when he heard this: "Then you have to wait!" It takes at least an hour for this stock to be ready. ”

"Wait! Gotta wait! ”

Wu Lei also smiled: "I want to taste it, whether this soup is as delicious as wheat said." ”

Li Yi knew that they were going to wait for him to go back together, so he didn't say anything more.

He only has one process left, which is to make the prepared tofu and gluten into raw materials for imitation meat dishes such as vegetarian meat and vegetarian ham.

This process is not difficult, but in order to ensure quality, there are still some requirements for the technique.

Therefore, he did not ask Wu Lei and them to help, but chose to make it himself.

Wu Lei and the others were also happy, so they took out their mobile phones and replied to the audience's barrage.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yi spent an hour and finally made all the vegetarian meat.

Seeing that Li Yi made pieces of tofu skin and gluten into elbows, ribs, and lean meat, Wu Lei sighed: "It's not easy, eating a few vegetarian dishes is more troublesome than making meat dishes directly!" ”

"It's okay, mainly because it's too much at once."

Li Yi explained, while putting all the ingredients into the refrigerator, and then opened the soup pot of vegetarian seafood soup in the expectant eyes of Wu Lei and the others.

As he uncovered the layer of lotus leaves that had been boiled a little dry, a rich fragrance instantly spread.

"Oh!"

Wu Lei instantly came to his senses, jumped up directly, ran to the soup pot, and couldn't wait to ask: "Okay?" Is it OK to drink? ”

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Li Yi took out a small bowl, took out a small bowl of soup, handed it to him, and advised: "Drink in small sips, don't get bored." ”

"What do you mean to be stuffy?"

Wu Lei took the soup bowl puzzled, blew two breaths, and took a small sip.

Next, he realized what it means to be bored.

He felt as if he had drunk the entire ocean in one gulp, as if an undersea forest had grown on his tongue, and the extreme umami took all his senses' attention, as if he had been slapped with a stick.

"Whew!"

He swallowed the soup in his mouth, then took another breath, only to find that even the air exhaled from his nostrils seemed to have the scent of the ocean.

"Mom! This soup is amazing! ”

He was a little shocked.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai and the others also came around, took the soup bowl from Li Yi's mouth, and tasted it each.

"Wow! It's so fresh! ”

Although Zhao Jinmai had drunk the beef broth made by Li Yi, he was still amazed.

It is a completely different taste and experience from beef stock.
