Chapter 329: Semi-authentic mapo tofu
"After steaming the kelp, don't pour the water first, and pour in the white vinegar when it cools to an acceptable temperature."
Xu Qingge pushed the water in the pot with a kitchen knife, trying to let it cool down for a while.
Theoretically, this temperature is forty degrees.
"After pouring in the white vinegar, add the kelp and soak for about two minutes."
Xu Qingge pinched his hands and counted the time, this is also a helpless thing, if you have a mobile phone, you can set a countdown.
"Then gently rub the kelp, the gum precipitated before is sticky, under the action of white vinegar, the viscosity will be lower and lower, and it will become thick and soft."
"Then change the water, add a small spoonful of flour, gently knead it with your hands, and finally rinse it again with running water."
Xu Qingge put the kelp into a small basin and walked to the side of the hand well.
At this time, Wan Le had already cut the minced beef.
Where there is no tap, it takes two people to wash the kelp.
"Take a bite?"
Xu Qingge fished out a few pieces of kelp from the basin and handed them to Jennifer and Wan Le.
Because of the large amount of kelp, even if you eat a little bit, it will not affect the follow-up work.
"Oh~ It doesn't have any taste, but the taste is very unique."
It was the first time Jennifer had eaten food with such a peculiar taste.
"Chirp~ This is a special processing ingredient."
Wan Le is more concerned about the process of handling kelp, he has tried kelp before, and some small crevices are difficult to clean, so it is a bit grainy to eat.
After Xu Qingge's processing, this kelp can be regarded as having the appearance of food.
"Now, it's time to make the soup."
"Although kelp doesn't taste good, the aminoglutarate in it is mixed with inosinic acid in silver cod to produce a strong umami flavor."
After studying all the textbooks, Xu Qingge once tried to learn the more off-the-beaten-path "food science".
It's just a taste, but there's something left in my head.
"Chirp?"
Wan Le didn't understand all of a sudden, what is this.
Although telepathy can directly tell the other person what is going on in their hearts, the premise is that the other person must know what they really mean.
"It's okay, it's okay, you just have to remember to cook the kelp with the silver cod in a delicious soup."
"Chirp~"
It's easier to memorize two words than to memorize a long string of words.
"First put the soup bucket with the right amount of water, put the kombu in it first, boil it, and put it on the other side for the time being, and look at the minced beef."
Wan Lok had already put the sliced minced beef in a bowl and was ready to use it.
"Then there is the hot pan and cold oil, and the authentic hot pan cold oil is to heat the pan first, and then pour the oil to cool when the pan is white smoke."
"Pour out this first round of oil, and then pour cold oil."
"But it's too expensive, so I recommend it."
Although Wan Le is an innkeeper, he may not care about this little oil money, not to mention that the oil poured can be used again.
But Xu Qingge is a thrifty person after all, even if she has a warehouse of oil on hand, she will not do that.
"Chirp~"
I saw Xu Qingge holding an oil pot in one hand and an iron pot in the other, and after the white smoke was raised, a little oil was poured out, which was only enough to burn the bottom of the pot.
Then pour in the cold oil and minced beef.
"When the minced beef changes color, you don't need to add straw."
"First add a spoonful of bean paste, stir-fry until fragrant, add tempeh, minced beans, Sichuan peppercorns and crushed chilies."
Crushed chili peppers are also a helpless move, and it is better to have chili noodles here, but it is really impossible to buy.
"Pour in water and bring to a boil, then add the tofu. That's the only one you can do. ”
Xu Qingge glanced at the kitchen knife in her hand, she couldn't use a kitchen knife instead of a frying spoon.
"Oh~"
Towards the end of the process, the smell of mapo tofu slipped out of the cracks in the kitchen.
Jennifer held back her appetite, after all, he still had a job.
"The rest is to add soy sauce and salt, but unfortunately there is no starch, otherwise you can hook up or something."
"Chirp~"
There are certainly regrets to the food made here.
No matter how Xu Qingge picked it out of his head, he couldn't recall anything about this country.
It's not that there are no pet beast countries on the Blue Star, and not all pet beasts can be contained.
Just like Longhua, the most famous wild pet beast is the Rock Spirit King, entrenched in the capital of Longhua, and has established a territory on its own.
And pet beasts of this level are generally deafening.
It stands to reason that Morgan is probably also an S-level pet beast, but Xu Qingge has no news in his memory.
In the case of the Pet Beast Country, the development here is quite rapid.
The regular pet beast country is not much different from the pet beast nature reserve, and the structure is similar to that of the Tibetan Mountains.
"Gollum~"
It's the sound of water boiling.
"Oops, kombu soup!"
Xu Qingge hurriedly lifted the lid of the soup pot and threw the dried silver cod into it.
Wan Le had just finished putting mapo tofu on the plate, when he flew to Xu Qingge's side and asked:
"Why don't I go over there and get you a spoon?"
He was referring to the universal kitchen, and Wan Le himself was a master of flying magic, which did not mean that the cooks did not need a colander.
"Don't bother them, Jennifer, you must have a colander on you, too."
"Oh~ the price is negotiable."
As soon as the deal was mentioned, Jennifer was immediately interested.
"How about giving you a taste of mapo tofu first? Plus the first bite of soup right away is also yours. I want a colander and a spoon. ”
Obviously, Xu Qingge has understood the correct way to handle Jennifer.
"Transactions are sacred and cannot be desecrated."
Jennifer's mouth was still hard, but her paws made a preemptive movement, and pulled out a colander and a soup spoon from her ear, as well as a spoon and a large bowl.
He blinked his eyes and waited for Xu Qingge's "payment".
"I can't help you."
Xu Qingge first filled half a pot of mapo tofu for Jennifer, and then took a small bowl from the kitchen and gave some of it to Wanle.
Only then did he take the spoon and scoop a piece of mapo tofu to eat.
"What do you think?"
After his own semi-guided works, Xu Qingge was still quite nervous.
"Chirp~ It's exactly the same as what I used to eat."
Wan Le felt that his mentality was very complicated, and the lack of civilian-level taste buds was indeed a big problem.
The magic stone used for evolution, it's not that he can't get it, it's just ......
"Wow......"
"It's delicious, but it's painful."
Jennifer's tears were a little unstoppable.
This was the first time he had eaten the food that Xu Qingge had made seriously. Although part of the process relies on the magic of Wanle due to the lack of tools.
However, it does not actually have any effect on the taste of the food.
"Drink some of this."
In a panic, Xu Qingge could only pick up a bowl, flush some soaphorn powder with well water and feed it to Jennifer.
Now I can't find milk, so I can only use sweet things to forcibly mask the spicy taste.
