Chapter 232: Soothe Your Restless Hearts
Lin Fan didn't bother Bai Ke, but asked Xiaoyan to help bring some materials.
The ingredients include fresh shrimp, pork, green onion, ginger, tomato sauce, eggs, old tofu...
With a movement of the knife in his hand, he removed the heads of the fresh shrimps and picked out the shrimp threads. There were ten guests outside, and ten fresh shrimps were left behind, and the remaining six fresh shrimps were all chopped into shrimp paste.
From the corner of his eyes, Bai Ke saw Lin Fan was busy, and he was puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"Su Caijing Box Tofu, have you heard of it?" Lin Fan laughed.
Bai Ke shook his head. He had never heard of this dish, and he didn't know what it was, but he didn't think too much about it. The guests outside were in a hurry. If it wasn't prepared quickly, he didn't know what would happen to the guests.
At this time, Lin Fan mixed fresh shrimp and pork stuffing, and added various seasonings, while the ten whole shrimps were mixed with egg liquid, starch and salt.
Put the old tofu on the palm, padded it, the texture is good, the knife in the hand slides, separates the old tofu, and with a movement of the wrist, the cut old tofu pieces fall on the cutting board, neat and not messy , same size and shape.
The main control of this dish is the heat of the old tofu. When it is put into the hot oil, the surface of the old tofu should be golden yellow, but it is easy to burn, and the hardness should be moderate. Just to control it requires eyesight.
For ordinary chefs, it doesn't matter if it's a bit mushy, but for Lin Fan, cooking is like making art, a little flaw can affect the taste, so he strives for perfection.
zzz~
The tofu is fried in the oil pan, and then the fried old tofu is immediately taken out and put aside to let the oil on it dry.
Now it’s time to make the sauce. This is the key step for the mirror box tofu. If the sauce is made well, the dish will have seven layers of success, and the other three achievements are the old tofu.
At this moment, Bai Ke was sweating profusely and was very tired from cooking, especially when he was being urged outside, which made him even more anxious, while Lin Fan was at ease at this moment, not worried at all.
Gently cut a small opening on the surface of the tofu with the tip of the knife, then use a small spoon to dig out two-thirds of the tofu flesh, stuff the minced shrimp meat into it, then pick up the shrimp, press the shrimp back into the meat In the stuffing, the curved back of the shrimp is exposed, just like a gear stuck in the tofu.
The sauce has been made, put the old tofu into the sauce and simmer slowly over low heat.
Gradually, a charming fragrance wafted through the kitchen. Bai Ke, who was busy, was taken aback for a moment. He sniffed at the tip of his nose, with a strange expression on his face, "Where does this fragrance come from?"
"Here." Lin Fan pointed to the pot and said.
Bai Ke was taken aback for a moment, but then he didn't believe it, "How is it possible..."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "You can smell it."
Bai Ke put down the shovel in his hand, really leaned over, sniffed at the tip of his nose, and was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't know Lin Fan, "You made this?"
"Why? I still don't believe it. This dish is called Mirror Box Tofu." Lin Fan smelled the smell, and it was almost ready to be cooked. When he lifted the lid of the pot, the strong aroma condensed in the pot suddenly exploded. Come out, even the scent rushed out of the kitchen and spread outside.
The diners who had some opinions about dining outside were stunned when they smelled the fragrance, "It smells so good, what is so fragrant?"
"It seems to have floated from the kitchen."
"Waiter, what's in it? Why is it so fragrant?"
Xiaoyan was also stunned at the moment, she didn't know what it was, but when she walked into the kitchen, she saw two gorgeous dishes, and he had never seen this dish before, so she didn't know what it was.
Lin Fan washed four sticks of parsley, put them on the side of the plate, and said with a smile, "How about it? The tofu in the Sucai mirror box contains heaven and earth."
He is still very satisfied with his masterpiece. If this dish is rated, it must score 101 points. One more point is not afraid of pride, it is so delicious.
At this moment, Bai Ke stared straight at Lin Fan, as if he had seen a ghost.
The taste made him feel a little unbearable, "Let me taste it."
Slap!
Lin Fan knocked Bai Ke's hand off, "This is not for you to eat, it's for the guests outside. They have complained, so why don't you hurry up and cook."
"Ah..." Bai Ke felt itchy in his heart, he didn't expect that Lin Fan could cook, and the taste and appearance simply surprised him.
Pieces of bright old tofu are beautifully put together, especially when the soup is poured on it. Just looking at it, the appetite is whetted, and my taste buds start to salivate.
"Xiaoyan, as expected, help out." Lin Fan took a copy, and then asked Xiaoyan to take a copy too.
Xiaoyan was holding the dish, and the smell rushed directly into her nasal cavity, and then into her brain, and swallowed involuntarily.
Outside!
Lin Fan brought four servings to the table for four, and then said with a smile: "Sorry everyone, I kept you waiting for a long time, this mirror box tofu is for free, I also hate slow serving when I eat, everyone They are all eating happily, and it is irritating to wait for one or two dishes for ten or twenty minutes, and please don't mind, the next dishes will come soon."
The diners are not unreasonable people. Seeing that the shopkeepers are so polite, they naturally didn't say much. Although the mirror box tofu tastes delicious, they haven't tasted it yet.
"Then please hurry up, thank you for the food."
The diners said, then looked at the tofu in the mirror box on the dining table, and their expressions were slightly taken aback.
Because this dish looks too good-looking, the color is bright, it looks like the dish in a gourmet magazine.
Lin Fan thanked, and then said; "Everyone can try it, the taste will not be so good when it is cold."
The diners at the two tables each took a piece, the sauce on the old tofu dripped gently, and then exuded a charming fragrance, which was intoxicating, and then opened their mouths and took a bite.
Suddenly, the scene was quiet.
The eyes of every diner changed instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief.
A sweet and sour taste exploded in the taste buds in an instant. The fresh and tender meat filling, the smell of shrimp, tofu, and accessories are like waves, coming wave after wave.
At this moment, all the diners felt that they were tasting the most delicious food in the world, especially when they took a bite, the tofu melted instantly like ice cubes and melted into their hearts. restless heart.
"Delicious..." A diner reacted from the taste, and then couldn't wait to eat the old tofu in one bite, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly savored it there.
Xiaoyan was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.
When Bai Ke came out of the kitchen with the dishes, he didn't say a word when he saw the expressions of the guests, but the astonished expressions said everything.
Lin Fan smiled, food is the easiest way to calm down a restless mind.
Then he looked at Bai Ke with a smile on his face, "Hurry up and cook, the guests are all in a hurry."
Bai Ke nodded immediately, "Oh..."
He is stupid now, how could Fanzi know how to cook?
