A pure white porcelain plate and a piece of tender food.
Ye Fei laughed when he saw this piece of food.
"System, what kind of tofu is this?"
The system said lukewarmly: "You haven't used it."
"..."
"No, I've made tofu several times. Is there any tofu that's better than the one 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. In the past, it was divided into northern and southern tofu, and southern tofu. Tofu is soft and uses gypsum powder as the coagulant. Northern tofu is hard and uses salt brine as the coagulant. Nowadays, people use gluconic acid as the coagulant and have developed another new type of tofu, which is lactone tofu. This kind of tofu has the largest The advantage is that it can maximize the locking of the protein inside the tofu and preserve the water content more fully, making the tofu extremely tender and smooth in taste."
Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this. When he was a chef apprentice, he also knew that there was this kind of lactone tofu, but they rarely bought it in their hotels. Most of them still used traditional tofu. He didn't expect to see it in the system today. .
Looking at this piece of tofu, it is indeed much more delicate and whiter than ordinary tofu, and it is extremely tender. Just putting it on the plate makes me tremble when I hold it.
"Will eating this kind of tofu be harmful to the human body? After all, the coagulant inside is a chemical."
Ye Fei asked curiously, but regretted it after asking. He felt that he had asked the wrong question.
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 became curious when they saw Ye Fei bring out a piece of tofu.
"Isn't it? Ye Shen wants to make tofu again? I've seen him make it several times, such as cola tofu, mapo tofu, fish head and tofu soup, this... this is another tofu dish?"
"Emma, why are there so many tofu delicacies? I usually eat tofu but I didn't realize that there are so many ways to eat it. It's just fried or fried."
"What kind of tofu will Ye Shen make today? There are only a few delicacies in the tofu, and Ye Shen's cooking is much worse."
"I don't know, but I believe that since Ye Shen has brought out this kind of ingredient, it must have its use, and it must be able to make a top-notch delicacy."
"I also believe that I will wait for Ye Shen to perform."
Now the people in the live broadcast room are extremely impressed by Ye Fei's cooking skills. No matter what ingredients he brings out, they all believe that Ye Fei can definitely make a unique dish.
Sure enough, Ye Fei put the tofu on the table and said with a smile: "Tofu, this ingredient is already very familiar to many people in our live broadcast room. We have also made many kinds of tofu-based delicacies, but those are all Sichuan dishes. , today we will make another dish. This delicacy belongs to Hunan cuisine, and it is not spicy Hunan cuisine. It has a nice name, called Guoqiao Tofu, Guoqiao Tofu, with tofu as the main ingredient and eggs as the auxiliary ingredients. This dish is full of The perfect blend of tofu and eggs results in a mouth-watering treat.”
Eat all over the world and shouted: "Ye Shen, is this tofu the same as before?"
Ye Fei smiled, picked up the plate on the table, and said: "Brother Tianxia's eyes are indeed very powerful. You must have noticed that this piece of tofu is different from the previous tofu. Yes, this piece of tofu is not the one we used before. Tofu, although it is also made from the best soybeans, has one thing that is different. The coagulant in it is not salt brine or gypsum powder, but gluconic acid. This is a new type of coagulant. 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. Especially compared with northern tofu that uses gypsum powder as a coagulant, northern tofu should not be eaten because it contains gypsum, but this kind of tofu Different, you can eat a little more, which should be good news for people who like to eat tofu. In addition, I will tell you that this kind of tofu is very common and sold in many stores, so everyone has read this. After the bridge tofu, if you have something you like to eat, you can make it yourself. As for the specific steps, you will watch carefully next."
Bridge tofu is actually a very simple delicacy, but precisely because it is simple, making it well can better demonstrate a chef's basic skills.
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 not smooth, but have protrusions. These are the eggs of red-tailed chickens.
Put four red-tail chicken eggs in a small bowl, and Ye Fei went on to get other ingredients.
This time I took out a small piece of pork, which was also pork from rosin pig, followed by mushrooms, green onions, ginger, oil and other ingredients.
When everything was ready, Ye Fei started making this dish.
Cross-bridge tofu is a very famous delicacy in Hunan cuisine because it has three characteristics: first, it is delicious, second, it is beautiful, and third, it 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 refreshing aroma of tofu itself, mixed together, making people want to stop.
Beautiful refers to the appearance of this dish. The reason why this dish is called Bridge Tofu is because the shape of this dish is like a bridge. It spans a river and is flanked by four sun-shaped buildings made of eggs. The existence of Tsukishima, the golden island, and the bridge as white as jade, gives people the first impression of beauty.
In addition, speed is also one of the characteristics of this dish. Like other delicacies, it does not take dozens of minutes or even hours to complete. This dish is very simple and takes the longest time to prepare. It only takes about half an hour.
Ye Fei is going to make three delicacies today, and he knows that after 1:30 it will be time for others to go to work. If he cannot end his live broadcast by that time, the audience will definitely be reduced, so he must make a quick decision, so He also chose a time-saving delicacy.
After taking out all the ingredients, Ye Fei started to take action directly.
The first step is to process the tofu.
In fact, the way to process tofu in this dish is very simple, just slice it.
But this slicing is very particular, because you must pay attention to the appearance when making this dish. If the tofu slices you cut are of different thicknesses, it will definitely affect the appearance when your "bridge" is built, so if you want to make it perfect To be perfect, the tofu slices must be cut equally thick.
This is nothing to Ye Fei.
I saw him picking up a thin knife from the tool rack. The knife was shaped like a crescent moon. The back of the knife was very thin and the blade was very sharp.
Picking up the knife, Ye Fei put the tofu from the plate on the chopping board, then raised the knife and started cutting the tofu.
Ye Fei cut a piece of tofu into sixteen pieces. Each piece was almost the same and looked like it was carved from the same mold.
While cutting, Ye Fei said: "The reason why we cut it into sixteen pieces is because I want to make this dish into a meaningful delicacy. Sixteen, the Arabic numeral is 16, and one and six represent the wind and wind along the way." "Shun" means that every guest can be said to have come to me from a very far away place. Here, I also wish every friend who comes to my place a smooth and safe journey."
As he said that, Ye Fei put sixteen pieces of tofu on the plate. This plate was not the plate that held the tofu just now, but another new plate. This plate was much larger than the previous one. When Ye Fei put the tofu, It is also very particular. The tofu slices are not scattered on the plate, but carefully arranged into a long strip shape. This long strip shape is like a bridge rising in the sky, between every two pieces of tofu. Forming a step, like a ladder to heaven.
From one end of the plate to the other, the sixteen slices of tofu were just finished. Then Ye Fei picked up a red-tailed chicken egg, then knocked it lightly, breaking a crack in the shell, and then squeezed the egg gently with his hand. When it is broken open, the yolk inside falls out first.
Then Ye Fei quickly picked it up, which meant that he only used egg yolks for this dish, not the egg whites.
Open the other three eggs in the same way, remove the yolks and discard the egg whites.
At this time, looking at the shape of the dish on the plate, a rainbow bridge as white as jade rises into the sky. On both sides of the bridge, there are two golden egg yolk islands on each side, which are as golden as the sun.
After doing all this, Ye Fei said: "As I said just now, this delicacy is very simple. The main thing is the shape. Now that we have completed the bridge and the islands on both sides, the next step is to steam it in a basket."
It was the steamer where the cabbage was steamed just now. Ye Fei placed it on the stove, covered it with a steamer cloth, placed the very beautiful plate of bridge tofu in the steamer, and steamed it directly.
The tofu and eggs were steaming in the cage. Ye Fei cut the pork into mince, shiitake mushrooms into mince, onions and ginger at a very fast speed, and stir-fried them directly over high heat.
When the frying was almost done, he added a little water to it to form a soup, and then continued frying. When the juice began to collect, Ye Fei chopped up the sour chopped peppers and put them into the pot, and stir-fried a few more times. , turn off the heat directly.
At this time, the tofu and eggs in the steamer are almost ready to be steamed. Because this dish is a quick dish, steaming it in the steamer for three to five minutes is enough.
Ye Fei steamed it for five minutes, then turned off the heat and took the plate out of the basket.
Looking at the food on the plate at this time, white smoke rises from the white tofu bridge, and a unique aroma of tofu rushes out. Then the four red-tail chicken eggs on both sides are not fully cooked, but medium-cooked. The plate is shaking in the hand, and the egg yolk can also shake slightly.
Putting the plate on the table, Ye Fei reached out to lift the wok, and then carefully poured the soup in the pot from one end to the other along the bridge formed by the tofu.
As he finished this step, he saw a white light suddenly burst out of the plate, and then four golden light groups appeared on both sides of the white light.
"Damn it, Wanli Fragrance skill can appear like this?"
Ye Fei is really a little strange, because when he saw the skill blessing of Wanli Piaoxiang in the past, it was always before the vegetables left the pot. Like today, the vegetables appeared after they had already come out of the pot. It was really the first time. Second-rate.
"Ma Dan, it seems that this skill is really abnormal."
The white light merged with four golden light groups, then exploded and dispersed.
Ye Fei immediately smelled a very special aroma. The reason why this aroma is special is that it is not as strong as the aroma of other dishes. On the contrary, it is very light. Whether it is the smell of tofu or eggs, it is very It is light and elegant, giving people a refreshing feeling when smelling it.
"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 finished, although the steps are very simple. , but I think this should be a delicacy that won’t disappoint everyone.”
No one expected Ye Fei to finish this delicacy so quickly. It only took about ten minutes. Compared with the previous delicacies, the time was reduced too much.
"Fuck, so fast?"
"Uh uh uh uh~~~Ye Shen is going to make trouble. How come a delicious dish is ready so quickly? Can this be done?"
"This... Ye Shen doesn't want to live broadcast? Isn't this too fast?"
"I don't care, I don't care anyway, I just want to see how Ye Shen cooks this delicacy."
Everyone said and hurriedly looked at this dish. However, after seeing this dish, many people's eyes narrowed, and then they suddenly opened their eyes, and light burst into their eyes...
