Chapter 113: Mapo Tofu

Early the next morning.

"It's a pity that my strength is not enough to make brine, so I can only make gypsum tofu, which is still not as tender as brine tofu in comparison. Luckily, this is Spain, and the plaster is easy to find. ”

Spain is an important source of gypsum, and finding it is not difficult.

It was a hassle to make tofu, but Erica finally managed to try it, and luckily soybeans are not an ingredient that easily explodes.

The search for gypsum is not difficult, but grinding soy milk is a bit troublesome, but thanks to Vera, she can still do it.

The subsequent process is not complicated, but it is a gypsum slurry that is mixed with soybean milk, and then pressed after the soymilk.

The tofu had already been made, but Erica was still a little dissatisfied.

It's just simple tofu, and I always feel a little unstable.

However, Vera and Tamara don't think so, and the two of them think that this tofu alone already has a great chance of winning. You must know that when Vera became a junior wizard, she only used the trick of fish scale jelly.

But Erica felt that Ice Eye should also have a top-secret trick, and she even had a sense of what Ice Eye's trick would be. If it was really what she thought, it would really be a terrible trick.

"Can I taste it?" asked Alice, holding a bowl of sweet soy milk. After being brought back by her parents last night, she ran to Sweet Papaya early the next day. Anyway, it's to make tofu, and by the way, there is soy milk to drink, and Alice also likes to drink sweet soy milk.

"Wait a minute, I'll be ready to fry it in no time. Erica said to Alice, and soon she had a plate of tofu fried. However, compared to the barbecue, Erica's frying skills are much worse, which Erica is also very worried about.

After a while, a steaming plate of stir-fried tofu was served on the table.

Zhilu said that this was the dish that Erica would use in the finals, and Vera and Tamara were also nervously approaching.

"It smells so good. ”

The two of them praised from the bottom of their hearts.

Freshly cooked tofu looks white and fragrant.

Both the shape and the fragrance are satisfying.

"If you have this, it's a sure thing. Tamara took a deep breath, as if to inhale the scents into her stomach in one gulp.

"That's right, it's a new kind of cuisine, and new dishes are always welcome. I didn't necessarily win the competition when I first competed, but because the fish scale jelly dish had never been seen before, the examiners were particularly sought after by the examiners. Even if the taste is not perfect, it is enough. Vera said from her experience.

As the two spoke, Alice was the first to move, gently pressing the tofu with the back of her spoon. "It's soft, it's fun. Alice said with a giggle.

"I'll try it first. Erica said, picking up a spoon and scooping up a piece of tofu and putting it in her mouth.

"How's it going?" asked a few people with concern.

But before they could finish speaking, Erica had already spit out the tofu.

"Isn't it delicious?" Several people were disappointed, this dish was very good in appearance and aroma, but they didn't expect it to have a problem with the taste.

Erica exclaimed, "It's hot, it's hot!" and waved her hand to drive the heat from her mouth, but Sora immediately grabbed the handle of the water cup and moved the cup in front of Erica with great difficulty.

"Lord Erica, water, drink it. ”

Erica hurriedly grabbed the water cup and poured it into her mouth, finally feeling better.

Vera and Tamara saw that Erica was fine, and at the same time scooped a spoonful of tofu and tasted it.

"Very good, Erica, this dish has a lot of hope of winning. Vera said.

"What is the hope of winning, this is a win, and it will definitely be able to send the ice eye flying 100,000 miles away. Tamara exaggerated.

Erica noticed that Alice didn't move.

"Why, doesn't Alice taste it?"

Alice shook her head and said, "It's too hot." But his eyes were straight at the tofu.

"If Alice waits any longer, we'll be robbed of everything. Tamara teased Alice.

Seeing that Alice was a little serious, Alika hurriedly scooped up a few pieces of tofu and put them on a small plate and said to Alice: "I didn't expect Alice to be a cat like me?"

"Cat tongue?" Alice asked, shaking her head and wondering.

"That is to say, I am afraid of burning, and cats don't like to eat hot things. ”

"Is that so?" Alice playfully stuck out her tongue, mimicking the kitten's movements.

"It's so cute, let me pick up my kitten Alice. Little Alice is going to become a cat family. Tamara gestured to pick up Alice.

"Walk away, walk away. Alice hurriedly ran into Erica's arms.

Erica picked up a small saucer and put it to her mouth and blew on the tofu.

"It's going to cool down, so let's eat it. Erica handed the plate to Alice.

Alice, who was holding Erica's thigh, reluctantly let go of Erica and tasted the tofu with a spoon, and Alice, who ate the tofu, narrowed her eyes, more like a kitten who was touched to satisfaction.

"I'll blow it too. Erica, I'll blow it to you. Tamara came up again, but was pulled by Vera behind her.

"I'm going to dismember. Vera said coldly.

"Erica, Vera has a murderous aura. ”

Looking at the two of them, Erica shook her head and smiled bitterly, and also scooped up a piece of cooled tofu and tasted it. The tender taste is a wonderful pleasure. It must be a novel experience for those who have never seen this kind of cuisine before.

However, Erica still felt inadequate.

What if, if it's mapo tofu?

Erica couldn't help but think of this question in her heart.

When you think of tofu, you can't help but think of mapo tofu.

Mapo tofu can be said to be the most classic and special tofu in tofu, and the only thing that can be compared to it is stinky tofu.

But if you do tofu, you can't do mapo tofu.

Gypsum is easy to find in Spain, because even in Erica's previous life, Spain is a famous source of gypsum. In this parallel realm, although other things are different, the geographical environment is very similar, so gypsum is also easy to find.

And to make mapo tofu, it doesn't matter if the others are lacking, but you need at least two ingredients, chili pepper and Sichuan pepper.

In Erica's world, chili peppers are native to Mexico, and in this world, which is closer to Europe, it is possible to find them.

But Sichuan pepper is different, it is extremely difficult to find Sichuan pepper, and even if it is here, no one may think of using it as a seasoning. Unless a mercenary is hired to look for it, but Erica doesn't have that time now.

And when it comes to buying on the street, Erica doesn't think she's lucky enough to buy soybeans. It is important to know that although soybeans originate in China, they can be planted everywhere in the world. Moreover, soybeans are domesticated from wild beans, which means that the chance of finding soybeans is countless times higher than that of Sichuan peppercorns.

"It's a pity that we can't make mapo tofu. Erica shook her head and cleaned up her mood, since she couldn't make mapo tofu, she was thinking about how to make ordinary tofu more delicious, and she was about to find some tofu dishes that were easy to make in her mind.

"Mapo Tofu, what is that?" asked Vera and Tamara, who were fighting, as they stopped their hands and asked curiously.

"It's just a kind of spicy tofu, but unfortunately, I can't find a spicy and spicy seasoning. Erica spread her hands and said helplessly.

"Then it can't be helped. Vera also felt some regret.

But Tamara's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Numb, spicy." I know who has such an ingredient. ”
