Chapter Ninety-Eight: It's a Work of Art!
The audience doesn't really care too much about whether the bean dregs are really so delicate, they actually want to tease Zhao Jinmai and see her blushing.
So, Zhao Jinmai, who realized this, paid attention to Li Yi and watched him deal with the bean dregs.
This bean dregs, Li Yi is planning to make green onions mixed with tofu dregs.
The method of mixing green onion with tofu residue is actually very simple, and the main ingredient is only green onion and tofu residue.
Taking a peeled green onion, Li Yi cut a knife at the junction of the white onion and the green onion leaf.
Then, he put the green onion aside, then put the green onion leaf on the cutting board, and cut it vertically with a knife, so that it changed from a tube to a whole green onion leaf.
Seeing Li Yi put the green onion aside, Zhao Jinmai stepped forward and asked, "Don't you use this green onion?" Do you want to receive it in the crisper? ”
"Take it!"
Li Yi followed the texture and cut the green onion leaves into long strips of green onions.
Zhao Jinmai put away the green onion white according to his words, and then asked curiously: "Brother Yi, when my mother uses green onions to stir-fry, she uses green onions, why don't you use green onions?" ”
Li Yi laid out the shredded green onions, then picked up the kitchen knife and cut them quickly.
After the sound of a fine knife, the shredded green onion has turned into a thin green onion foam.
While cutting, Li Yi explained: "Whether it is the taste or nutrition of green onions, green onion leaves are better than green onions.
The taste of green onion white will be more spicy, the green onion leaves will be sweeter, and it is also rich in carotene, vitamin C and chlorophyll, and the magnesium content is also relatively high. ”
"Huh? That's exactly what happened. ”
Zhao Jinmai was puzzled: "Then why do we all eat green onions and white at home?" ”
"Because green onion leaves are too easy to spoil."
Li Yi explained: "The white onion is layer by layer, relatively compact, and more resistant to storage, and the green onion leaves only have a thin layer, and there is also a green onion snot in it, which is easy to spoil once it leaves the soil."
Therefore, the green onions we usually eat at home are made more white, and although the taste is worse, it can be stored for a long time.
Moreover, the green onion used at home is generally boiled in a pot, mixed with filling, ingredients, or soup, and rarely fried onion oil.
But if you want to fry scallion oil, you must fry it with green onion leaves, so that the fried scallion oil will taste more fragrant and more nutritious. ”
As he spoke, Li Yi had already cut the green onion leaves into a pile of green minced pieces.
Wiped off the green onion leaves on the knife with his fingers, turned around and took a small frying pan, added a small half pot of soybean oil, put it on the stove, and started the fire.
When it was about 30 percent hot, he put two-thirds of the green onion foam into the pan.
After putting it in the pot, the edge of the green onion leaf foam suddenly flashed with a circle of small white foam.
Li Yi used the back of the sauté spoon to push them away to mix them more evenly with the oil in the pan, and then slowly fried them over low heat.
Gradually, the smell of green onions began to permeate, and the oil in the pan began to turn green little by little.
When the green onion leaf foam began to turn yellow, Li Yi turned off the heat and ordered: "Take a 50-mesh colander over here." ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Jinmai didn't understand: "What colander?" ”
"The 50-mesh colander is the one with the gauze-like strainer."
Li Yi saw that she still didn't understand, so she could only come to the cabinet and take out a few colanders, and explain to her: "The mesh is the number of holes in each square centimeter area, the larger the mesh, the denser its filter, and the smaller the eyes."
This is a colander usually used at home, that is, about 10 meshes, which can filter fried dried chili peppers and peppercorns, or scoop hot pot.
But I can't use this colander if I want to strain the scallion oil, because the chopped green onion is smaller than its eyes, and the green onion leaves pass through the eyes.
This is the 50-mesh colander I wanted, and its eyes are relatively small, so you can separate the green onion leaves. ”
As he spoke, he took a bowl and asked Zhao Jinmai to take the colander, then scooped up the scallion oil and poured it on the colander.
The scallion oil fell, and the emerald green color suddenly made Zhao Jinmai's eyes widen: "Wow! It's beautiful! It is green! ”
"There is a lot of chlorophyll in green onion leaves, and of course they are green when fried."
Li Yi said, while pressing the green onion leaf foam on the colander with a frying spoon, squeezing out all the scallion oil inside.
Zhao Jinmai lowered his head and smelled: "It's so fragrant!" ”
Wu Lei looked at the greed, swallowed his saliva, and then shook his head and said to himself: "It's all fat, eat fat and die..."
Soon, Li Yi filtered out all the scallion oil.
The emerald green scallion oil in the bowl is as clear as jade, and it looks very attractive.
"These green onion leaves are poured."
Li Yi commanded, and then scooped up a spoonful of scallion oil with a frying spoon, poured it into the pot, and turned on the fire to heat.
Then, he put the remaining one-third of the green onion leaf foam in it and stirred it gently.
This time, he didn't wait for all the green onions to be fried and fried.
When the scent of green onion leaves began to diffuse and gradually became stronger, he turned off the heat.
The residual temperature in the pot continued to heat the green onion leaves, and Zhao Jinmai came over curiously,
Li Yi fanned the wind with his hand, and a slightly spicy scent of green onions poured into Zhao Jinmai's nose.
Allicin stimulated her tear ducts and secreted a stream of tears.
"It's a little spicy..."
She rubbed her eyes and muttered.
"Spicy means that the green onion is still raw."
Li Yi said, and after waiting for a few seconds, he fanned the wind again and motioned for her to smell again: "This time you smell and see again." ”
Zhao Jinmai sniffed it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in surprise: "Huh? This time it's not spicy, only the scent of green onions, and it's stronger than just now. ”
"This means that the onions are starting to ripen."
Li Yi said with a smile: "At this time, it is the time when the fragrance of green onions is the strongest, it will be alive a little earlier, and the fragrance will be dispersed a little later, when you make dumplings at home, if you fry the green onions to this extent and mix them into the filling, it will be a lot more fragrant." ”
"Really? Wait for me to get home and let my mom try it. ”
Zhao Jinmai exclaimed: "It's amazing! It's only a few seconds apart, and the taste is so much worse. ”
"The subtlety of cooking is in these small details, which is called heat."
Li Yi said, and motioned to her: "Colander." ”
"Oh."
Zhao Jinmai obediently picked up the colander and helped him with scallion oil.
After all the green onion leaves were filtered out, Zhao Jinmai just wanted to throw it, but was stopped by Li Yi: "Don't throw it this time, these are what I want to use." ”
The fried green onion leaves are still green in color, with a strong aroma, which is edible and delicious.
Li Yi took the colander, poured the green onion leaf foam into the bean dregs bowl, added a pinch of fine salt, and then grabbed it with his hands and stirred it.
Soon, he mixed the okara with the green onion leaf foam and filled it into a square mold.
Taking a plate, he buckled the okara in the mold to the plate, and a square of okara mixed with green foam stood on the snow-white plate.
Then, Li Yi cut a pinch of shredded green onion leaves, put it on top of the bean dregs, and then heated a spoonful of scallion oil and poured it on the shredded green onion leaves.
The scorching scallion oil instantly blanched the shredded green onion leaves, bringing out its richest green onion aroma.
Then, the green scallion oil evenly covered the okara, as if a layer of green glass film was pasted on the okara.
"Wow!"
Zhao Jinmai exclaimed: "This is simply a work of art!" It's so pretty! ”
Li Yi smiled and raised his hand to ring the bell.
"Serve!"
