Chapter 436: Tofu
"I didn't taste it, it's so embarrassing..." Ertu scratched her head awkwardly.
Bai Renzong could see that she deliberately wanted to pretend to be cute, but in his opinion, this girl was really a bit artificial, not as natural as Han Jiayi, but those simple audiences just took her style.
"It's okay, after all, you are not a professional." Bai Renzong smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "Okay, thank you for your performance."
Ertu shook hands with him with a smile, and then temporarily retreated aside.
After this "Lao Bai's unique skill time" passed, Shang Qinglong's work was almost done.
The photographer turned the camera to Shang Qinglong's hands. At this moment, he was carefully pouring the tofu on the chopping board into a bowl with water, and explained: "Remember to use warm water so that the tofu can be kept to a soft level. If cold water is used, the tofu will break..."
As he said that, Shang Qinglong gently stirred it with quicks, and saw that the tofu that was originally stuck together instantly dispersed in the water like magic, turning into thousands of white threads.
"Oh..." Bai Renzong couldn't help but sigh, "This effect... Although Lao Qiao had shown me the charm of Wensi tofu in person a long time ago, to be honest, his skills are still a bit worse than Mr. Shang."
"Oh my God, this is like a computer special effect." Emma Berry couldn't help but sigh: "You can actually cut the tofu to this level... I'm really curious about what kind of taste it would be like with such a thin tofu."
"Oh, it still takes some preparation to serve." Shang Qinglong smiled, and then began to cut various vegetables into shreds.
Winter bamboo shoots, Xianggu, chicken breast, ham, and cabbage were cut into silks of about the same thickness as Wensi tofu.
However, even tofu can be cut so fine, so these ingredients are naturally no problem. Shang Qinglong quickly cuts these ingredients into shreds, then separates the ingredients, blanches, steams them in a basket, and cooks them in a pot.
Bai Renzong took this moment to look at the barrage, and then laughed in a low voice: "Are you proud of being a Chinese? This is the wisdom left by our ancestors, and it is the accumulation of cooking culture for five thousand years. This is Chinese cuisine, one person, one knife, one pot, one shovel, and one stove."
Barrage: "Suddenly a little moved." "This is the soul of Chinese cuisine! Those chefs at D station are nonsense!"
"Don't say that, they just..." Bai Renzong shrugged, "The pattern is different. Some people are chefs to make money, while others are to carry forward the cooking culture of our country."
Bai Renzong found that interacting with barrage is really a relaxing way to spend time, and barrage also likes this kind of interaction. After all, the essence of live broadcast is interaction.
After passing another ten minutes, the camera turned its attention to the chefs on the scene, began to show off the chefs' skills, and slowly pushed the show to the final tasting session.
"Okay, everyone's cooking has entered the final stage one after another." Bai Renzong returned to the review seat and sat down. "The first thing I will show you is Master Shang Qinglong's Wensi Tofu. First, make a 'good start' for everyone, so that everyone will be more stressed next, just like someone often does."
"Yes, it's me." Adam raised his hand and smiled, "Even if the second one is served, I won't lose to this old man."
At this moment, Shang Qinglong had already brought Wensi tofu to everyone: "Please use it."
In the white lake-shaped soup in the bowl, red ham shredded tile and green cabbage shredded garnished, but gently stir with a spoon, you can see shredded winter bamboo shoots, fragrant oak and chicken inside, and a strong aroma comes to your nose.
Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful and tasted it. The soup that had been squished with starch was particularly thick, but the taste was unexpectedly light. After all, there was no oil inside, only tofu, chicken, ham and some vegetables.
"Oh, this rich taste..." Bai Renzong closed his eyes and sighed, "Although they are all shredded, you can clearly feel the taste of each ingredient.
The softness of the chicken, the toughness of the ham, the crispness of the winter bamboo shoots... and the real magic is the tofu inside. When you eat it in your mouth, you can clearly feel the taste of the tofu, but it will melt immediately..."
"This taste is really addictive," Emma Berry said with a smile. "In fact, tofu is a vegetarian alternative to protein in most countries, and most people do not eat tofu. And everyone's understanding of tofu in Chinese cuisine is limited to the 'Mapo tofu' item. I'm very happy to see other excellent works here."
"Yes, and it's amazing that such a sticky but light-tasting soup is so sticky." Carl Brando frowned, "It's clear that there is no cream or milk, nor any ingredients containing collagen..."
"Oh, this is called 'gou', which uses starch to improve the viscosity of the soup." Bai Renzong explained, "It is a common technique in Chinese cuisine. It is the same as the sticky soup in yam. Of course, it depends on the kung fu. The powerful chef's gouache technique can perfectly integrate the ingredients with the soup, and the poor technique will lead to the separation of oil and juice."
"So that's it..." Carl Brando suddenly said, "Chinese cuisine is indeed incredible..."
At this moment, Bai Renzong was extremely satisfied: he did it, he was really promoting Chinese cuisine now.
"This bowl of soup is very suitable for a bowl after drinking." Yamamoto Yuto smiled, "After drinking, if you have a bowl of tofu soup, you will be able to end the day with satisfaction and sleep peacefully when you get home. You will never clamor for 'go to go again! Go again!'."
"Okay." Bai Renzong clapped his hands and smiled happily, "Now, everyone has seen this classic tofu dish. I hope the dishes you will show next will be no less than this dish."
As he said that, Bai Renzong inspected the chef on the scene happily said, "So, who is the next one?"
"That must be me!" Adam smiled with a gaze and came to everyone with his own dishes.
On the plate is a food that looks a bit like a lasagna, but it is more compact, with a layer of tofu, a layer of other ingredients, a layer of tofu, and then a second layer of ingredients.
"It looks delicious." Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows, "Let's try it."
Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful and tasted it: "The tofu was fried in oil, and the surface was crispy. The tofu should be northern tofu. This tofu contains less water and tastes more chewy. The first layer is tofu, and the second layer is tomato sauce, basil, sautéed cream, cheese, coriander..."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong was a little surprised: "The third layer used is different from the first layer. It is tender tofu, and it is not fried in oil, but stewed in chicken soup. It tastes tender and fragrant. The fourth layer is fried sauce made of carrots, onions, meat and celery..."
After eating this, Bai Renzong was stunned for a moment, then turned to Adam and asked in surprise: "Did you make lasagna with tofu? But although it looks like a perfect combination of meat tofu and tomato sauce tofu. Two different tofus are used, and the taste is also layered."
"I think this method is very innovative, and the ingredients of tofu are treated in Western food." Emma Berry said with interest, "I don't deny that I personally don't like to eat tofu. As I said before, tofu in other countries is just a ingredient used by vegetarians to replace meat, but this tofu is really delicious..."
Yuto Yamamoto took a glass of wine from the staff next to him and took a sip, then smiled and sighed: "Delicious!"
Bai Renzong was a little unsure whether the delicious food he was talking about was this tofu or wine, but then Yuto Yamamoto added: "Sure enough, this tofu is more suitable to match it with 'grape juice' than 'mineral water'."
"Tofu is so magical." Carl Brando sighed as he tasted the tofu, "It can be so delicious..."
From the comments of everyone, we can see that uu reads www.uukanshu.com Everyone seems unfamiliar with many things in Chinese cuisine, which further strengthens Bai Renzong's determination to promote Chinese cuisine.
The good news is that among these chefs, there are troublemakers like Adam. If Bai Renzong placed a particularly difficult option in several different themes, then Adam would definitely choose this. Bai Renzong could use this to control the theme of the program and also blame Adam. No one would say that he was too biased in Chinese cuisine.
"Okay, let's take a look at the next chef's work?" Bai Renzong said with a smile.
Jamie Tila came to Bai Renzong with her tray, with a smile on her face.
"I probably know what this guy did..." Bai Renzong rolled his eyes and sighed.
Sure enough, after Jamie Tira lowered the tray, there was a plate of red Mapo tofu inside. Just by looking closer, Bai Renzong felt a burning pain in his eyes and nose, and he quickly retreated a little.
In fact, Jamie Tira had released the "improved version" of Mapo tofu online before, so he was not surprised by the dish he brought out. He sighed and said, "Okay, come and try it."
Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful of Mapo tofu and tasted it, and a "give" sound came from his mouth.
"?" Bai Renzong suddenly looked like a black question mark: Why does tofu have a "huff" taste?
He scooped up a portion of tofu alone, took the sauce and looked at it before he realized: "This is fried old tofu..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was forced to drink half a drink by the burning sensation in his mouth.
