Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 642

Next, Li Xiao turned his attention to the plate of baked tofu on the plate.

Although it's called baked tofu, it's actually deep-fried tofu.

And this tofu is not ordinary tofu.

This is edamame.

Maotofu is also called moldy tofu because a large piece of mycelium that looks like mold grows on the surface.

Also because of its special taste, some people call it "stinky tofu."

This special flavor is not something everyone can enjoy.

However, it is precisely because of the different "hair" between edamame and ordinary tofu that fermented edamame often has a special umami taste.

Yunnan people like to use it to cook cabbage.

This tofu is edamame after deep-fried in hot oil.

Li Xiao picked up a piece with chopsticks, and said to the audience in front of the live broadcast room, "Has anyone ever eaten edamame?"

"In some areas of our country, tofu is made into this kind of fermented and hairy tofu, but this kind of tofu is not acceptable to everyone."

"There was a food program before, which introduced all kinds of strange foods from all over the world."

"One of the issues introduced edamame."

"I was also watching that show at the time, and many viewers said how can this moldy food be eaten?"

The bullet screen was also lively at the moment, and netizens spoke enthusiastically.

"Could the host be talking about the Maotofu from Huangshan?"

"People from Huangshan passed by. We do have this kind of tofu here."

"We can see this kind of moldy tofu everywhere in the streets and alleys here, and my grandpa likes to eat this kind of moldy tofu."

"Wow, I've learned a lot. Why do people still eat tofu that has hair all over it?"

"Anyway, I dare not eat it. This tofu is moldy."

"That's not mold, it's called fermentation."

"When the tofu is fermented, there are layers of procedures that are strictly controlled. Only specific strains can grow on the tofu."

"And this tofu has been fermented, and the vegetable protein in it has been transformed into a variety of amino acids, which taste very delicious."

"It's not clear to you group of people, you will know after you try it."

"Although I heard what you said, I still dare not eat it."

"Anyway, I don't eat."

"Let the anchor come and see if it's poisonous."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The anchor is someone who dares to eat wild mushrooms in Yunnan."

"Would the host be afraid of just a plate of moldy tofu?"

"Speaking of wild mushrooms, I bought some after watching the host's live broadcast. It's really delicious. I recommend you to try it too."

"Wow, you are such a ruthless person, aren't you afraid of being troubled by fungi?"

"Anyway, the anchor ate it all, so what can I not dare to eat?"

"Let me tell you, it tastes like..."

"It should be the same as people eating fugu. They know it's poisonous, but they still try it for the delicious taste."

Of course Li Xiao would not be afraid of this mere plate of hairy tofu.

After all, he has the ability of a poison appraiser to identify whether food is poisonous, and how much poison the food contains.

Not to mention that the food itself is not poisonous, even if someone puts poison in it, Li Xiao can easily tell the difference.

Li Xiao picked up a piece of fried edamame.

The fried tofu is golden and crispy on the outside, dipped in a little chili powder in a small dish, it smells of a special smell of fermented tofu, mixed with the aroma of chili powder, people can't help but want to taste it.

Li Xiao took a bite of the tofu.

The skin is crispy, but not hard at all.

This taste is a bit like peach cake, but this peach cake has the smell of moldy tofu.

The taste is fresh, spicy and spicy, and the taste is crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside. The smell of tofu and umami are intertwined, which is endless aftertaste.

"Since we're here to taste delicious food, we need to relax our minds a bit, and don't always be afraid of this and that."

While eating the tofu in his mouth, Li Xiao said to the audience friends in the live broadcast room, "Think about it, if this thing is really poisonous, would restaurants still sell it?"

"Since he dares to open a store to sell these things, he must have a way to remove the toxicity in it."

"For example, the puffer fish and wild mushrooms you mentioned, in fact, as long as they are cooked properly, they will not be poisoned."

"There is also this edamame. Although it looks moldy on the outside, it is delicious after being fried."

"Those who are not used to it may think it is a stinky smell. But this is the unique flavor of edamame."

"Do you think if this thing is really poisonous, would anyone eat it?"

Li Xiao ate a piece of tofu contentedly, and said to the fans in the live broadcast room.

"Oh, this group of people are bullshit."

"How can there be so many things, in fact, it's just that I can't pass the test in my heart."

"A lot of things are like this. If you can eat it, then it is delicious. If you don't know how to eat it, you will be discouraged."

"For example, wild mushrooms from Yunnan, they are really delicious."

"If you are alive, why should you care so much? If others can eat it, then I can definitely eat it too."

"I always focus on Gu Na, but I miss a lot of delicious food."

"Wow, what I said earlier seems to make sense."

"Then how about I get you a piece of edamame first?"

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, and then extended his chopsticks to another dish.

Pearl tofu balls.

Tofu and meat sauce are stirred together, seasoned, and made into round balls.

The meatballs are a layer of glutinous rice, and because the tofu and rice are relatively white, some green onion and red pepper are dotted on top.

These tofu balls are neatly stacked in the steamer, like soldiers waiting for inspection.

They all had chubby bellies. When Li Xiao saw the garden, he couldn't help but think of a certain panda who only knew how to eat and sleep.

I wonder if he is awake now?

Pick up a round ball and put it in your mouth.

The fragrance of glutinous rice, meaty meat sauce, tofu, and a little bit of green onion and chili are all intertwined in this plate.

Bite down, the juicy meat sauce and the dense tofu bloom together in the mouth.

Since the meatballs are steamed, the original taste of the tofu and meat sauce is what goes down the intestines in one bite. However, they are combined just right, and they will not steal the limelight of the other party at all.

The gravy and tofu are combined in the mouth. Although it is light, it is still memorable.

"This dish is the same as stewed cabbage with tofu. It is very suitable for people who are sick."

"The steaming method retains the original taste of the ingredients, and the aroma is overflowing."

"And the taste of the balls is springy, and the glutinous rice on the outer layer enriches the taste. One bite, the gravy overflows."

"It's not very difficult to do this."

"Tofu and minced meat, add a proper amount of salt and monosodium glutamate, mix well, add an egg, wrap the outer layer with glutinous rice, and steam it in a steamer. This dish is ready, isn't it very simple?"

"Everyone go and try."

The last dish on the table is Midu's special rolled hoof.

This plate of curly hooves looked bright red, like the color of bacon.

The outermost layer looks like pigskin, and the inside is lean meat.

Although the curly hoof is called a hoof, it is not a pig's trotter, but a food that looks like a pig's trotter.

The finished hooves can even be stored for eight or nine months.

On the large plate made of white porcelain, the test questions were sliced ​​into thin and uniform slices, and arranged in a circle around a red flower in the middle.

Below the red flower is a little green onion and coriander.

Obviously this is a cold dish.

But because the food was served relatively late, Li Xiao hadn't tasted it until now.

Li Xiao picked up a piece and chewed it in his mouth.

"Wow, this curly hoof tastes fresh, tender, sour, and fragrant. It's very suitable for drinking."

Li Xiao sighed, picked up a slice again, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

"The appearance of this curly hoof is more Q-bomb, and it is tough."

"The lean meat inside doesn't taste good, hey, what are these white parts?"

Li Xiao carefully chewed the food in his mouth, analyzing what ingredients and techniques were used to make this food?
"It turned out to be radishes and rice noodles."

Li Xiao suddenly realized what he said.

There is never a time when the bullet screen is not lively.

"Wow, so there is food that the anchor hasn't seen?"

"It seems that the anchor is also eating this for the first time."

"This thing is a bit like a special food on our side. I forgot the name, but it is made of pork belly wrapped with other food."

"It looks a little similar, I thought it was the same thing."

"Didn't the host say it at the beginning? This is Midu's characteristic."

"How could it be exactly the same?"

"I find it a bit incomprehensible to put radish and rice noodles in this meat product."

"Hey, respect the customs of various places, besides, maybe this is also a delicious food."

"Didn't you hear what the anchor said? It's fresh, tender and sour. The food that can get such an evaluation from the anchor must be delicious."

"That's not necessarily the case. What if the anchor doesn't have the same taste as ours?"

"I think the anchor should have the taste of normal people. For example, if he can't eat zheergen, I can't eat it either."

"I'm a long-time fan of the anchor, and I have gone to the shops that the anchor has checked in before. All of them are very, very delicious."

"The same store that the anchor checked in is relatively close to me, so I went to taste it, and it was exactly as the anchor said."

"Old fans know that the anchor's check-in is random, and the anchor never accepts advertisements."

"I remember that when the anchor first started, he went to a soy milk shop, and the food was only a few yuan. The business of that store was very good, but there were still people who questioned whether the anchor was advertising."

"At that time, how many fans did the anchor have?"

"That's right, that's right, I came here because of the beauty of the anchor in that episode."

"It's been so long since our host has become more and more handsome."

"Call my husband every day!"

"My husband is the most handsome!!"

"This curly hoof looks delicious!"

"I think my hand speed is quite fast, but who can tell me why I went to a certain treasure store to look at it just now, and this one is already sold out?"

"Originally, there were only a few treasure shops selling local specialties, and you even bought all the hooves inside."

"Can you be individuals and leave me some at least."

"Hoohoo, luckily I'm quick, and I placed the order decisively while you were still discussing."

Li Xiao's ability to carry goods is simply terrifying.

However, he himself did not discover this.

Otherwise, those shops have to charge a little advertising fee.

Of course, this was just a joke, after all, Li Xiao is not short of money now.

After tasting all the dishes, Li Xiao began to eat formally.

These dishes are not bad, but Li Xiao thinks that the casserole spicy tofu is the best meal.

Sure enough, spicy dishes won his heart.

After finishing the meal, Li Xiao poured a bowl of soup into the bowl.

Tofu boiled pea soup.

Pea tips are fresh and tender pea shoots. Usually, when the pea shoots have not bloomed, the most tender part of the pea shoots is picked.

There is no need for fancy cooking methods, just rinse it in clean water, and it will be very delicious.

Many people like to order a pea tip when they eat Sichuan hot pot.

The pea tips are not resistant to cooking, you just need to scald them in the pot at will and they will be cooked.

After the pea is cooked, the stems and leaves are tender and delicious.

Cooked with tofu as a soup, the tenderness of tofu and the sweetness of pea tips are all gathered in this bowl of soup.

A bowl after a meal, not to mention how satisfying it is.

Since this is a very common home-cooked dish, Li Xiao didn't introduce too much.

However, Midu's tofu still needs to be praised.

"The tofu here is tender and smooth, and the taste is particularly delicate. I think if you have the opportunity to travel here, you can still come and eat it."

After he was full, Li Xiao made a summary of the meal, "The taste of tofu is not bad, and the overall taste is more home-cooked."

"It is not recommended for friends who like spicy food to come and try."

A string of bullet screens floated past.

"Pay attention, the anchor here also said that if everyone has the opportunity to travel here..."

"Obviously we didn't have that opportunity."

"My mind says he wants to go to Midu to eat tofu. But my wallet is right, I say no, I'm thinking about shit."

"I'm really sorry, Little Tofu is not that I don't want to eat you, but that he doesn't allow my little money (p′︵‵.)"

"It's just tofu. Everywhere has it. Besides, there are so many places with delicious restaurants. It seems that there is no need to travel so far for a meal of tofu."

"A local was passing by. This restaurant is quite nearby. I decided to meet the host by chance."

"I think you won't be able to meet by chance, after all, the host is leaving after dinner."

"Why didn't you say you were going to meet by chance just now?"

"It's too slow to respond."

"Forget it, forget it, if we don't meet the host by chance, we can still go and have a meal of tofu."

"Baby, how many pounds have you gained today?"

"I'm not fat, I refuse to face reality, you go away!"
