Although Daolang is famous for singing songs in the style of the Western Regions, he himself is actually a native of Sichuan Province.

Neijiang is right in the middle of Rongcheng and Shancheng, and its eating habits are deeply influenced by both places.

Most of the old hot pot often eaten by locals is opened by people from Shancheng, and the taste is very authentic.

Although Daolang has settled in the Western Regions Province, his childhood memories will not disappear.

When he smelled the familiar aroma of this butter mixed with bean paste, his saliva was a little uncontrollable.

In front of the cauldron, Li Yi took a large shovel and stir-fried the bean paste in the pot.

As he stir-fried, the aroma of the bean paste in the pot became more and more intense.

"The bean paste should be stir-fried constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot, and it should be fried until it is crispy and fragrant, and then continue to feed.

This kind of bean paste is not the Pixian red oil bean paste we usually use, but the special bean paste for hot pot, which is made of large broad beans, and its sauce fragrance is stronger, and the fragrance will be more sufficient.

If it is an ordinary Pixian soybean bean watercress, its watercress is relatively small, and it is easy to stick to the pan when fried.

Douban for hot pot can be bought on the Internet, such as Juancheng, Dandan, and Stellar, which are all relatively old-fashioned, and Juancheng's π is better, and its sauce flavor will be slightly stronger. ”

Li Yi said in his mouth, and kept stir-frying in his hands, and after ten minutes of stir-frying, he served a pot of black tempeh-like stuff.

"This is the bean mother and child, it is a special ingredient in this pot base, the old hot pot in the mountain city must use this bean mother and child, and the amount here is 3 catties."

showed the camera, Li Yi poured the bean mother and child into the pot.

In the live broadcast room, many viewers are posting barrages to ask questions.

"Mother and Son, is it tempeh?"

"If you don't understand, just ask, what is a bean mother and son?"

"Looks like tempeh, huh? Is it tempeh? ”

"It's sauce beans, right? Look at the color like. ”

In the barrage, some mountain city viewers are also joking about the barrage.

"It's my uncle's mother and son, my wife's brother and daughter-in-law."

"Hahaha! Laughing to death! ”

"Your explanation is so good!"

"It's from the old mountain city, haha!"

Putting the bean mother and son into the pot, Li Yi glanced at the barrage.

Seeing that the audience was asking, he explained: "The bean mother and child are more similar to tempeh, both are made of soybeans, but in terms of usage, they are not the same thing. ”

As he spoke, he used a spatula to stir-fry the beans in the pot, took a pot of tempeh, motioned for the camera to take a close-up, and explained: "This is Yongchuan tempeh, it is fermented after the soybeans are steamed, and they are only fermented once."

Its leather surface is relatively black and bright, the texture is relatively dry, relatively hard, and the grains are distinct.

Because there is less water and it is relatively dry, this kind of tempeh cannot be fried for a long time, otherwise it will be easy to paste the pot. ”

As he spoke, he put the tempeh back, took the unused bean mother and child back, and showed the camera: "This pot is the mother and child of beans, which is made of soybeans steamed first and then dried, and fermented twice."

It is yellowish in color and softer in texture, and it will be more viscous because it has more moisture.

The more moisture you have, the longer you can fry it, and the more fragrant it is, so the base of Shancheng hot pot will be fried with beans and seeds. ”

After speaking, he put the tempeh back and explained: "The taste of the tempeh and the mother and child of the bean is mixed with bean paste.

Douban + tempeh, fried belongs to the flavor of beans.

Douban + bean mother and child, fried belongs to the sauce fragrance.

Therefore, in this pot of hot pot ingredients, we use bean paste and bean mother and child to fry together, so that the fried ingredients will be purer and more fragrant. ”

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, the live broadcast room brushed through a piece of "understood" and "received", and some people asked on the barrage how to buy this bean mother and child.

After Li Yi saw it, he replied casually: "You can buy it online, you can search for special beans and children for hot pot, and the local people in Shancheng generally use the sauce man brand beans and children, and they can also be bought in other provinces." ”

As he spoke, the beans and children in the pot were fried in butter, and gradually exuded a special aroma.

Mixed with the fragrance of bean paste, soon, a rich special sauce fragrance wafted up.

"Wow! I remember! ”

Linghua clapped her hands excitedly and asked Zeng Yi: "Let's go to the mountain city to perform, and the particularly delicious old hot pot we ate at night is this taste!" ”

Zeng Yi also swallowed his saliva and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the last time we went to eat, it should have been in September last year, right?" ”

Since he and Linghua went to the mountain city to perform seven years ago, and ate a particularly delicious old hot pot in the local area, every time they go to the mountain city to perform, they will go to that old hot pot to eat.

The soup base in that old hot pot has a special aroma that makes them want to stop, and it is this special fragrance that wafts out of the pot at this moment.

At this time, Daolang on the side suddenly spoke: "This is the most authentic old hot pot taste in Shancheng, this is what I ate when I was a child." ”

Hearing him speak, both Linghua and Zeng Yi looked back at him in surprise.

With his social and fearful character, he would actually take the initiative to speak?

Daolang only said one sentence and stopped, but his eyes fell on the cauldron in front of Li Yi, as if he was stuck in a memory.

Before the wok, Li Yi held a spatula in his hand and kept stir-frying.

With his stir-frying, the special smell of sauce became more and more intense, gradually spreading all over the yard.

Even the staff around couldn't help but swallow their saliva, stretching their necks one by one, looking at the base in the pot greedily, and wanted to taste the taste of sliced meat.

After the flavor of the sauce reached the extreme, Li Yi motioned to Wu Lei to bring the glutinous chili peppers, scoop them up with a frying spoon, and sprinkle them into the pot one by one.

While sprinkling the glutinous chili peppers, Li Yi reminded the camera: "Attention, when you put the glutinous chili peppers here, you can't try to save trouble, pour them all down at once, that will reduce the temperature of the oil, and the fragrance will not be fried."

So let's divide it several times, and keep the oil pan boiling, and not press the temperature down. ”

Hearing his explanation, Linghua couldn't help but sigh and admire: "People are really good at it, and it's also a true religion!" If you don't teach this kind of detail, others won't be able to find out, but the base you fry when you go back is definitely not fragrant enough. ”

Zeng Yi also nodded: "Actually, whether the cooking is good or not, except for the ingredients must be good, the rest is in these inconspicuous details." ”

Teng Geer also smiled and followed: "How else to say that people are professional?" ”

Before the cauldron, Li Yi cut the ingredients in batches and poured all the glutinous peppers into the pot.

Stirring with a spatula, Li Yi took the rock sugar basin and poured it into the pot: "After the glutinous chili peppers are finished, put the rock sugar in, and there is half a catty of rock sugar here, that is, 250 grams."

The purpose of adding rock sugar is to increase the base taste of sweetness, as well as the special aroma of caramel, so after the rock sugar is put into the pot, it is necessary to fry for enough time to let the rock sugar melt into syrup, and then transform it into a caramel state. ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Linghua couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that it has become a caramel state?" ”

Li Yi pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "Smell." ”
