Chapter 247: Magical Mapo Tofu (Part II)

The important thing is not the recipe, Wang Yong knows this very well, the feelings contained in the really powerful place of magic mapo tofu!

The background of the creation of this dish is that there is rinderpest in the area where Ju goes downstairs in a certain year, and there is no way to make mapo tofu (this drama setting can be ignored, after all, there are too many slots to think about carefully), and Master Abbe developed a recipe in order to make people eat mapo tofu.

This recipe contains not only the improvement of mapo tofu, but also the hope that diners can still taste mapo tofu during the special period. The mind is very mysterious, and many people think that it has reached the perspective of metaphysics!

In fact, I hope that the guests can eat well, and I hope that the guests like the mind will improve the concentration. At the same time, depending on the mood, the taste of the cooked dishes will change more or less. Therefore, every dish cooked by a special chef is a 'work of art', not a 'craft', which is the result of this ingenuity.

The best special chefs are able to put the emotions they want to express into their dishes. Catering to the needs of guests at different times is the hallmark of a top master chef. For the average special chef, the taste of each dish will be more or less different, which is the result of not being able to put it away freely.

"Boiling beans in water, cold water and boiling water will affect the taste of soybeans. Boiling ordinary water, boiling ordinary soup, and boiling soup will have different results...... Flattening the soybeans after cooking, how should the operation behave ...... Then use the sauce to taste, and how to mix the sauce...... After draining, the oil pan must be boiled, but to what extent should it be fried quickly? Wang Yong muttered.

Not only the production of ground soybean meat, but also the choice of tofu, but also the choice of seasonings is also crucial. Mapo tofu is actually a home-cooked dish, anyone who knows the recipe can cook it, and it is just a matter of whether it tastes good or not.

Dried chili, Sichuan pepper, cooking wine, tempeh, bean paste (homemade), salt, green garlic, minced ginger, water starch, broth. The ingredients are ready, and the soybeans are boiled in mountain spring water and further made into ground soybean meat.

After the official start of construction, Wang Yong has forgotten his plans. Now he only wants to present the 'best' mapo tofu. There are dozens of kinds of water quality, and there are more than a dozen kinds of soybeans, and the right soybeans are carefully flattened with the right water, and then the sauce after careful blending is used to taste, and the frying step is tested ten times, and then the best one is selected as a reference.

Thanks to his dynamic vision, he was able to see the soybeans changing inside the pot.

Choose the best cooking time, choose the best frying time, and the final product is just a soybean ground!

"Try it!" Wang Yong motioned for everyone to come and taste it.

For the first time, many people have discovered that soybeans are processed in this way, and they actually look like ground meat. Curious, I picked one up and put it in my mouth, the crispy and delicious feeling, even if I knew its true face, I couldn't help but wonder if it was really ground meat.

"Master, you are so amazing, you can actually make such a good thing!" Wei Yan's eyes were already twinkling with stars.

"Indeed, it is almost to ......the extent of being fake," Liu Xie also sighed, and then realized something, "No, this soybean ground meat is even more powerful!" ”

In general, ground meat, no matter how it is grinded, will leave more or less tendons. But this soybean ground meat is a soybean itself, so it is impossible to have gluten at all. Because of this, the crispy taste is very prominent.

"My lord, the tofu you wanted!" Wen Ming finally returned, followed by a cart with a lot of tofu on it. After all, it is meant to be served as lunch, and it must be purchased in bulk.

"Very well, then, let's get started!" Wang Yong nodded, then selected the best quality four pieces of tofu and began to divide them. The kitchenware that Yang Ci gave him is really powerful, not only sharp and sturdy, but the key is that it will not be contaminated with taste at all.

The kitchen knife that has been cut is washed and wiped with water, and there is no taste left on it. It is very important for chefs, after all, when chopping vegetables, especially ingredients like tofu, one carelessness will bring the flavor of other dishes into it.

With a few strokes, the tofu block is divided into cubes the size of dice, but it is motionless, which is the result of a quick and accurate start, and of course, the sharpness of the kitchen knife.

Boil water, add a little salt after boiling, blanch the tofu to remove its beany smell, remove it and soak it in cold water for later use; Remove the oil from the pan and put the ground soybean meat in, add the minced garlic and garlic, minced tempeh, dried chili peppers and bean paste. Stir-fry in a pan, and if you use ordinary ground meat, stir-fry the meat until it is bright in color.

At this point, what is built up is the 'spicy' in the magic mapo tofu!

After that, add the stock. Dashi is a vegetable stock made from seaweed and vegetables (carrots, onions, celery, tomatoes, cabbage, etc.), which is sweet and delicious, and full of umami. Stir-fry slightly until the ingredients are evenly absorbed, then add the drained tofu!

Season with wine and salt, simmer for a while, add soy sauce and green garlic sprouts, and the multiple ingredients are built up to create the 'fragrance' of magic mapo tofu, and the red of chili peppers, the white of tofu and the green of garlic sprouts are the 'color' of magic mapo tofu!

Put the white powder (water starch) in the thickening, pour the oil along the edge of the pot, and turn on the high heat! The flavors of various ingredients are further fused in the pot to bring out the best aroma of mapo tofu. The hot oil slowly floats and boils in the pot, which is called 'scalding'. At this time, take the mapo tofu out of the pot and put it on a plate, sprinkle in the ground pepper powder, this is the fifth flavor of 'hemp'! Coupled with the 'crispy' contained in the ground meat, it is a combination of six flavors, magic mapo tofu!

"Okay......" After doing all this, Wang Yong suddenly felt as if he had been hollowed out, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

A high concentration of spirit, a careful approach to every step, perhaps this is the truth of the so-called emotion. However, it is estimated that the best special chef himself is not sure how to enter this state.

Maybe it's like the legend, because there is an object that deserves to dedicate yourself to cooking for it, right?

When the dish was cooked, everyone seemed to see a golden light gushing out and soaring into the sky. Wang Yong didn't notice that the others were also in a blink of an eye, and everything returned to normal when they came back to their senses, and they didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Serve three bowls of rice, and then serve this mapo tofu out!" Wang Yong was so tired that he could only give orders.

"Yes!" The cooks finally came back to their senses in shock, and then hurriedly prepared.

Not to mention them, even Liu Xie, Wen Ming, Wei Yan, Guo Jia and Wen Qin, who had just come to report, were all immersed in the fragrance of mapo tofu, looking intoxicated.

"Obviously it looks so spicy, but why ......" Liu Xie secretly wiped his mouth, and at first glance, he knew that this dish was very spicy and spicy, but the desire to eat became very strong.

"Don't worry, we have a share, right?" Xun Yu didn't know where to appear.

"Wen Ruo, why are you here?" Wang Yong looked at Xun Yu in surprise, it shouldn't be dinner time yet.

"Scent...... And then...... Hungry! Xun Yu's eyes were staring at the plate of mapo tofu.

"I'll make you another plate right away, wait a minute!" Wang Yong stood up directly, of course his own woman has to serve well!

Feed, feed, feed, come and eat; Feed, feed, feed, come and eat; Feed, feed, feed, come and eat!
