Chapter 281 Elegant and Fragrant Bridge Tofu
A pure white porcelain plate, a piece of immature ingredients.
Seeing this ingredient, Ye Fei laughed.
"System, what kind of tofu is this piece of?"
The system said calmly: "You have never used it."
"..."
"No way, I've made tofu several times, is there any better tofu than before?"
"Each ingredient does not necessarily have only one or several types. It can be said that with the development of human beings, any kind of ingredient can derive more varieties, just like this tofu. It used to be divided into north and south tofu, and south tofu. Tofu is soft and uses gypsum powder as a coagulant. Northern tofu is hard and uses bittern as a coagulant. Nowadays, people use gluconic acid as a coagulant to develop another new type of tofu, which is lactone tofu. This kind of tofu is the largest The advantage is that it can lock the protein inside the tofu to the greatest extent, so that the water can be preserved more adequately, so that the tofu is extremely tender and has a smooth taste.”
Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this. When he was an apprentice chef, he also knew that there was this kind of lactone tofu, but they rarely bought it in hotels, and most of them still used traditional tofu. I didn’t expect to see it in the system today. .
Looking at this piece of tofu again, it is indeed much finer and whiter than ordinary tofu, and it is extremely tender, even if it is placed on a plate, it will tremble when you hold it.
"Will this kind of tofu be harmful to the human body? After all, the coagulant inside is a chemical."
Ye Fei asked curiously, but he regretted it after he finished asking. He felt that he asked this question very erratically.
Sure enough, the system replied concisely and forcefully: "Harmless!"
"ok, I get it."
Ye Fei brought out the tofu.
Everyone in the live broadcast room saw Ye Fei bringing out a piece of tofu, and they were all curious.
"Isn't it? God Ye is making tofu again? I've seen him make tofu several times. Coca-Cola Tofu, Mapo Tofu, Fish Head Tofu Soup, this...here's another tofu dish?"
"Emma, why are there so many tofu delicacies? I don't usually find that there are so many ways to eat tofu. It's just fried or fried."
"What kind of tofu is God Ye going to make today? There are only a few delicacies in the tofu, and God Ye can't make much of it."
"I don't know, but I believe that since God Ye has brought out this ingredient, it must have its uses, and it will definitely be able to make a superb delicacy."
"I also believe that, just wait for God Ye to perform."
Now the people in the live broadcast room have already admired Ye Fei's cooking skills. No matter what ingredients he brings out, they all believe that Ye Fei can definitely cook a unique delicacy.
Sure enough, Ye Fei put the tofu on the table and said with a smile: "Tofu, this ingredient is very familiar to many people in our live broadcast room. We have also made many kinds of tofu delicacies, but those are all Sichuan dishes. , Today we will make another one. This delicacy belongs to Hunan cuisine, and it is not spicy Hunan cuisine. It has a very nice name, it is called Crossing Bridge Tofu, Crossing Bridge Tofu, with tofu as the main material and eggs as auxiliary materials. This dish is full of flavor. The combination of tofu and eggs makes for a mouth-watering delicacy.”
Eat all over the world and shouted: "God Ye, is this tofu still the same tofu as before?"
Ye Fei smiled, picked up the plate on the table, and said: "Brother Tianxia's eyes are really sharp, you must have noticed that this piece of tofu is different from the previous ones, that's right, this piece of tofu is not what we used to use. Tofu, although it is also made of top-quality soybeans, has one thing that is different. The coagulant in it is not bittern or gypsum powder, but gluconic acid. This is a new type of coagulant. The tofu made as a coagulant not only has a white and shiny appearance, but also has a high yield and is easy to absorb and digest. Compared with the northern tofu that uses gypsum powder as a coagulant, the northern tofu is not suitable for eating because it contains gypsum, but this kind of tofu Different, you can eat a little more, which should be good news for those who like tofu, and I will tell you again,
This kind of tofu is very common, and it is sold in many stores, so after seeing this cross-bridge tofu, if you like to eat it, you can make it yourself. As for the specific steps, you will take a good look at it next. "
Cross-bridge tofu is actually a very simple delicacy, but because of its simplicity, it can better show the basic skills of a chef if you want to make it well.
Ye Fei put the tofu back on the table, and then took out four eggs from another storage compartment.
The shells of these four eggs are white, but they are not smooth, but have bumps. These are the eggs of the red-tailed hen.
Put four red-tailed chicken eggs in a small bowl, and Ye Fei then took other ingredients.
This time, a small piece of pork was taken out, which was also pork from rosin pork, followed by ingredients such as mushrooms, green onions, ginger, and oil.
After everything was ready, Ye Fei started to make this dish.
Cross-bridge tofu, this is a very famous delicacy in Hunan cuisine, because it has three characteristics, the first is delicious, the second is beautiful, and the third is fast.
It is delicious because after it is cooked, it not only combines the aroma of eggs, but also the strong aroma of minced meat, plus the fragrance of tofu itself, mixed together, making people want to stop.
Pretty refers to the shape of this dish. The reason why this dish is called bridge tofu is because the shape of this dish is like a bridge. The existence of Moon Island, the golden island, and the bridge as white as jade, give people the first impression of beauty.
In addition, quickness is also one of the characteristics of this dish. It is not like other delicacies. It does not take tens of minutes or even hours to complete. This dish is very simple, and it takes the longest time to use. The time is about half an hour or so.
Today Ye Fei is going to cook three delicacies, and he knows that after 1:30 it will be time for others to go to work. If he can't end his live broadcast at that time, the audience will definitely decrease, so he must make a quick decision, so He also chose a time-saving delicacy.
After taking out all the ingredients, Ye Fei's next step is to do it directly.
The first is to process the tofu.
In fact, in this dish, the processing method of tofu is very simple, that is, slice it.
But this slice is very particular, because you must pay attention to the shape of this dish. If you slice the tofu slices with different thicknesses, it will definitely affect the appearance after your "bridge" is built, so if you want to achieve the best As good as it gets, tofu slices must be sliced equally thick.
This is nothing to Ye Fei at all.
I saw him pick up a thin knife from the tool shelf. This knife is shaped like a crescent moon, with a thin back and a very sharp blade.
Picking up the knife, Ye Fei put the tofu from the plate on the cutting board, then raised the knife and started cutting the tofu.
A piece of tofu, Ye Fei cut it into sixteen pieces, each piece was almost the same, it looked like it was carved out of a mold.
While cutting, Ye Fei said: "The reason why we cut into sixteen slices is because I want to make this dish a meaningful delicacy. Sixteen, the Arabic numeral is 16, one and six, representing the wind along the way." Shun means that every guest has come to me from far away, here, I also wish every friend who comes to me to have a smooth journey and be safe."
As he said, Ye Fei put sixteen pieces of tofu on the plate. This plate was not the one that was used to put the tofu just now, but a new plate. This plate was much larger than the one just now. When Ye Fei put the tofu It is also very particular. Instead of placing the tofu slices scattered on the plate, they are carefully arranged in a long strip shape. This strip shape is like a bridge rising from the sky. Between every two pieces of tofu Form a step, just like a ladder.
Arranged from one end of the plate to the other, sixteen pieces of tofu were just placed, and then Ye Fei picked up a red-tailed chicken egg, and then lightly knocked it, a crack appeared in the shell, and then squeezed the egg lightly, When it breaks open, the egg yolk inside falls first.
Then Ye Fei quickly picked it up, which meant that he only used egg yolks for this dish, and the egg whites were useless.
Open the other three eggs in the same way, take the yolk and discard the egg white.
At this time, looking at the shape of the dish inside the plate, a rainbow bridge as white as jade rises in the sky, and on both sides of the bridge, there are two small islands of golden yellow egg yolk like the sun on each side.
After finishing all this, Ye Fei said: "As I said just now, this delicacy is very simple, the main thing is the shape. Now we have completed the bridge and the islands on both sides, and the next step is to steam it in a basket."
It was still the cage drawer where the cabbage was steamed just now. Ye Fei put it on the stove, spread the steamer cloth inside, put this very beautiful plate of cross-bridge tofu in the drawer, and steamed it directly.
The tofu and eggs were steaming in the cage. Ye Fei minced the pork, shiitake mushrooms, scallions and ginger at an extremely fast speed, and then directly fired and stir-fried.
When the frying was almost done, a little water was added into it to form a soup, and then the frying continued. When the juice started to collect, Ye Fei chopped the sour peppers and put them into the pot, and stir-fried a few more times , turn off the fire directly.
At this time, the tofu and eggs in the steamer are almost steamed, because this dish is a quick dish, so steaming in the steamer for three to five minutes is enough.
Ye Fei steamed for five minutes, then turned off the fire, and took the plate out of the drawer.
Looking at the delicacies on the plate at this time, white smoke rose from the white tofu bridge, and a unique aroma of tofu rushed out, and the four red-tailed chicken eggs on both sides were not fully cooked, but medium-cooked. The plate shakes in the hand, and the egg yolk shakes slightly.
Putting the plate on the table, Ye Fei reached out and picked up the frying pan, and then carefully poured the soup in the pan from one end to the other along the bridge formed by the tofu.
After he finished this step, he saw a white light suddenly rushing up inside the plate, and then four golden light clusters appeared on both sides of this white light.
"Damn it, the Wanli Piaoxiang skill can also appear like this?"
Ye Fei is really a little strange, because when he saw Wanli Piaoxiang's skill blessing before, it was always when the dishes hadn't left the pot. Like today, the dishes appeared after they came out of the pot. It was really the first time. Second-rate.
"Ma Dan, it seems that this skill is really easy to change."
The white light fused with four golden light clusters, and then exploded and dispersed.
Ye Fei immediately smelled a very special aroma. The reason why this aroma is so special is that it is not as strong as the aroma of other dishes. On the contrary, it is very light. Whether it is tofu, the smell or the smell of eggs, it is very delicious. Elegant, it smells refreshing.
"It's really different." Ye Fei muttered, put the pot in his hand on the stove, then rubbed his hands, stretched the dish forward, and said: "This dish is complete, although the steps are very simple , but I think this should be a delicacy that will not disappoint everyone."
Everyone didn't expect Ye Fei to complete this delicacy so quickly, it only took about ten minutes to add up, which was much less time than the previous delicacy.
"Damn it, so fast?"
"Uh uh uh uh~~ God Ye is going to make trouble, why did a delicacy get done so quickly? Can this be done?"
"This... Ye Shen doesn't want to broadcast live? Isn't this too fast?"
"I don't care, anyway, I don't care, I just want to see how Ye Shen's delicacy is."
Everyone said, and hurriedly looked at this dish, but after seeing this dish, many people's eyes narrowed, and then they opened suddenly, and all of them burst into light...
