A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

  Chapter 70 North and South Tofu

  After peeling off ten pieces of bean skins, Li Yi stopped, turned off the fire, and signaled to Wu Lei: "Go to the storage room and get the wooden bucket, ready to make pulp."

"oh."

  Wu Lei responded and went to the storage room to get the bucket.

  Zhao Jinmai heard this, and asked curiously: "Is the oily bean peel off?"

   "Don't expose it, that's enough."

  Li Yi took the rack covered with oily bean curds to the oven at the back. This oven was provided by the sponsor and had a drying function.

  Put the rack in, Li Yi set the drying function, and then closed the oven door.

  Liu Yifei approached and counted the bean curd skins, a little surprised: "Only ten? Such a big pot of soy milk can only make ten bean curd sticks?"

   “There is only so much that can be done in normal practice.”

  Li Yi explained: "In a pot of soy milk, the first three oil skins are the best, with the highest nutritional value, and after drying, they will show a beautiful golden yellow color.

  But after the tenth layer is peeled off, the oily skin will gradually turn brown, the color is not good, and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced.

   According to the normal process, 100 catties of soy milk can produce at most three catties of oily skin.

   If you want to continue to take it, you have to add some gluten enhancers. "

   "Strength enhancer? What is that?" Zhao Jinmai was a little surprised.

   “A food chemical raw material, the appearance is white powder.”

  Li Yi explained: "The gluten-enhancing agent is mainly composed of some food-grade raw materials such as emulsifier, monoglyceride, soybean colloidal enzyme, and compound phosphate.

  It can yellow and brighten bean curd sticks, inhibit browning, and increase yield.

  After adding a gluten enhancer, it can generally be exposed to about 30 layers, but after adding a gluten enhancer, the soy milk cannot be used to make tofu. "

  Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Liu Yifei couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Are there so many chemical components in the bean curd sticks we usually eat? It's scary."

  In the studio of the show, the audience was also a little scared.

   "My God! What else can I eat now? Even bean curd sticks have so many chemical ingredients?"

   "It's all technology and hard work!"

   "It's really scary, is there any pure natural green food now?"

  Li Yi also noticed the barrage in the live broadcast room, so he smiled and explained to the camera: "You don't need to talk about food additives like this, in fact, as long as they are added according to national standards, they will generally not cause any harm to the human body.

  Of course, it is best to be able to eat pure natural food. Pure natural food has more comprehensive nutrients and is better absorbed by the human body.

  But you have also seen that I can only produce a little yuba in such a big pot of soy milk.

  If all of them are made according to this technique, how low is the yield of bean curd sticks?

  When the output is low, the price will go up. In that case, I am afraid that the yuba will become a luxury that the rich can afford. "

  Liu Yifei looked at the yuba in the oven and sighed: "If a pot of soy milk can only produce such a small amount of yuba, it would be a bit extravagant!"

  The audience in the live broadcast room felt complicated when they heard Li Yi's explanation.

   "Who wouldn't want to eat something green and all natural? But how expensive is that?"

   "You get what you pay for, but how much is my monthly salary?"

   "I also know that there is no meat in the starch sausage, but it is cheap!"

   "So why is there a big gap between the rich and the poor? The rich eat healthy food, and the development of their offspring is also better. Isn't that hanging on the children of us poor families?"

"Don't push everything on the rich! It's not easy for rich people to eat healthier food. Those things that are green, natural, organic, and healthy are sold more expensive than the other, which is obvious. IQ tax is collected, for the sake of your children, you still have to bite the bullet and buy it, and you finally earn some money, but it is all taken away by profiteers."

   "It's better than before! It's really hard to eat something healthy now!"

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't be disappointed, let's do it! The program team has already ordered a batch of beans. When I get back, I can make some pure handmade bean curd sticks to make waves. The bullet screen lottery is for you."

  When Liu Yifei heard this, she smiled and raised her hand immediately: "Count me in."

   "And me! And me!" Zhao Jinmai also raised his hand to sign up.

  Hearing what they said, the audience in the live broadcast room also became excited, and the barrage was surging.

   "Fuck! Is it true?"

   "Must Support!"

   "Your name is Li Yi, right? Good! I remember you, this matter is done properly!"

   "Wow! The chef is so nice! I've become a fan!"

   "Excuse me for sending too much? Please post the link!"

   "Can I fork the one upstairs?"

   "Can you write who made it? I want my Mai Mai to make it myself!"

   "I want sister fairy to do it!"

  In the satellite car, Wang Tian couldn't help showing a smile as he watched the turbulent barrage.

   Now it seems that it is really right to invite Li Yi to participate in the show.

  He has craftsmanship, program effects, and knows how to make the audience happy. With a few words, the audience is excited, and the popularity is rising. This is a talent that can't be found!

"I'm back!"

  In the kitchen, Wu Lei returned to the kitchen with two large wooden buckets.

   "I saw two, so I brought them both."

  He put the barrel on the ground and shook his wrist: "Wow! This barrel is so heavy!"

   This is a pure wooden bucket that Li Yi asked the program crew to customize, and it is made of cedar wood.

  Cedar wood is hard, dense, and naturally not light in weight.

   "Just right, you have to use two buckets."

   As Li Yi said, he took out a brown glass bottle and a bag of white powder from the cabinet containing the seasoning.

  Wu Lei looked at it curiously, and asked, "Brother Yi, what is this?"

  Li Yi put two things on the operating table, and explained casually: "The glass bottle is brine, also called brine, and the bag is gypsum powder."

   "I know! What does that idiom say?"

  Wu Lei thought for a while, then slapped his head: "Tofu in marinade, one thing is one thing, right?"

   "Elementary school students know it."

  Zhao Jinmai laughed and teased.

  Liu Yifei pointed to the gypsum powder: "The tofu in my hometown is made of gypsum. Are the tofu made from these two things different?"

   "Of course not."

  Li Yi picked up the gypsum powder and explained: "Tofu made by traditional crafts can be divided into southern tofu and northern tofu, and southern tofu is tofu made of gypsum.

  Southern tofu has a higher water content, a more uniform texture, soft and delicate, and a white color, so it is also called soft tofu.

  Soft tofu is more suitable for cooking and making tofu soup. Don’t you want to eat mapo tofu? Mapo tofu has to be made with tender tofu. "

   As he spoke, Li Yi picked up the brown glass bottle again, and explained: "Northern tofu is tofu made with this kind of brine, also called brine tofu, or old tofu.

  The texture of old tofu is relatively hard, the texture is relatively strong, there are many small holes on the surface, and the bean flavor is stronger.

   This kind of old tofu is more suitable for cooking, stir-frying, frying, stuffing, or for carving, and its shape will remain relatively complete. "

  Zhao Jinmai nodded after hearing this: "My family sells northern tofu. Someone pushes a cart on the street and sells it. Cut a piece and don't put any seasoning. It's delicious to eat!"
