Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 247 Magic Mapo Tofu
The important thing is not the recipe, which Wang Yong knows very well, the emotion contained in the magic mapo tofu is really good!
The background of this dish was that there was rinderpest in the area downstairs in a certain year, and it was impossible to make mapo tofu (the setting of this drama can be ignored, after all, there are too many slots if you think about it carefully). The recipe was developed only after eating Mapo Tofu.

This recipe contains not only the improvement of Mapo Tofu, but also the hope that diners can still taste Mapo Tofu during special times.The mind is very mysterious, and many people think that it has reached the point of metaphysics!
In fact, it is not the case, I hope that the guests can eat well, and hope that the guests like it 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' rather than a 'handicraft', which is the result of this ingenuity.

The most powerful super chef can put the emotions he wants to express into the dishes as he likes.Satisfying the needs of customers in different periods is the characteristic of top special chefs.For ordinary super chefs, the taste of each dish is more or less different, which is the result of being unable to freely retract.

"Boiling beans with water, cold water, and boiling water will all affect the taste of soybeans. Boiling ordinary water, ordinary soup, and broth will have different results... After cooking, the Soybean flattening, what should be the specific operation... Then use the sauce to taste, how to prepare the sauce... Drain the oil quickly, the oil pan must be boiled, but it can be fried quickly and how deep it should be fried ?” Wang Yong muttered.

Not only the production of soybean ground meat, the choice of tofu, but also the choice of seasoning is also very important.Mapo tofu is actually a home-cooked dish. Anyone who knows the recipe can cook it. It's just a matter of whether it tastes good or not.

Dried chili, Chinese prickly ash, cooking wine, tempeh, bean paste (homemade), salt, green garlic, minced ginger, water starch, stock.The materials are fully prepared, and the soybeans are boiled with mountain spring water in consideration of adding broth, and then further made into soybean minced meat.

After the official start of work, Wang Yong had already forgotten his plan.Now he only wants to present the 'best' mapo tofu.There are dozens of types of water quality, and there are more than a dozen types of soybeans. The right soybeans are paired with the right water. After being carefully squashed, the sauce is carefully prepared to taste. The frying step has been tested ten times, and then the best one is selected. once as a reference.

Thanks to his dynamic vision, he can see the soybeans changing in the pot.

Choose the best cooking time, choose the best frying time, the final product is just a soybean ground meat!
"Try it!" Wang Yong signaled everyone to come and have a taste.

Many people discovered for the first time that after soybeans have been processed in this way, their appearance is similar to that of ground meat.Curiously, I picked one up and put it in my mouth. Even if I knew its true color, I couldn't help wondering if it was really ground meat.

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

"Indeed, it's almost as fake as the real thing..." Liu Xie also sighed, and then realized something, "No, this ground soybean meat is even more powerful!"

Ordinary ground meat, no matter how it is ground, will have more or less tendons.But this soybean ground meat is 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 want!" Wen Ming finally came back, followed by a cart with a lot of tofu on it.After all, it is for lunch, so it must be purchased in bulk.

"Very good, then, let's start!" Wang Yong nodded, then picked out four pieces of tofu with the best quality and began to divide them.The kitchen utensils Yang bestowed on him are really powerful. Not only are they sharp and sturdy, but the most important thing is that they will not be contaminated at all.

The kitchen knife that has cut vegetables is washed and wiped with clean water, and there is no smell left on it.It is very important for chefs. After all, when cutting vegetables, especially materials like tofu, if you are not careful, the taste of other dishes will be brought into it.

With a few strokes, the tofu cubes were divided into cubes the size of a dice, but they did not move at all. This was the result of quick and precise strikes, and of course the sharpness of the kitchen knife was also included.

Boil the water, add a little salt after boiling, put the tofu into the water to remove the beany smell, take it out and soak it in cold water for later use; pick up the oil pan, put the minced soybean meat in it, and add the minced garlic , minced tempeh, dried chilli and bean paste.Stir-fry in the pot, if you use ordinary ground meat, fry the meat until the color is bright.

At this point, what has been built is the "spicy" in the magic mapo tofu!
Then add the broth.The broth is a vegetable broth made from kelp and vegetables (carrots, onions, celery, tomatoes, cabbage, etc.), sweet and delicious, full of umami.Stir-fry slightly until the ingredients are evenly flavored, then add the drained tofu!
Season with wine and salt, simmer for a while on low heat, add soy sauce and green garlic sprouts, the multi-material construction is the "fragrance" of the magic mapo tofu; the red of pepper, the white of tofu and the green of garlic sprouts, It is the 'color' in the magic mapo tofu!
Add cornstarch (water starch) to thicken the cornstarch, pour oil along the edge of the pot, and turn on the pot with high heat!The flavors of various materials are further fused in the pot to burn out the best aroma of mapo tofu.The hot oil slowly floats and boils in the pot, which is 'hot'.At this time, take the mapo tofu out of the pan and put it on a plate, sprinkle with ground pepper powder, this is the fifth flavor of 'ma'!Coupled with the 'crispy' contained in ground meat, it is six flavors in one, magic mapo tofu!

"Okay..." After doing all this, Wang Yong suddenly felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and he couldn't even stand still.

The highly concentrated spirit and the carefulness of every step, perhaps this is the truth of the so-called emotion.However, it is estimated that the best super chef can't tell himself how to enter this state.

Maybe it's just like the legend, it's because there is someone who is worth devoting oneself to cooking for?

When the dishes were cooked, everyone seemed to see a golden light gushing out, straight up into the sky.Wang Yong didn't notice that the other people were also in a blink of an eye, and everything returned to normal when he recovered, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Put three bowls of rice, and then take out this mapo tofu!" Wang Yong was so tired that he could only order.

"Obey!" The help cooks finally recovered from the shock, and then hurriedly prepared.

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

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

"Wuyou, we have a share, right?" Xun Yu appeared out of nowhere.

"Wen Ruo, why are you here?" Wang Yong looked at Xun Yu in surprise, it should not be time for dinner yet.

"Smell... and then... I'm hungry!" Xun Yu stared at the plate of mapo tofu.

"I'll make another dish for you right away, wait a moment!" Wang Yong stood up straight away, of course his own woman had to serve her!
