Xiangchuan anxiously cut off a small piece of tofu and put it into a bowl. The familiar aroma of tofu spread from the cross-section of the tofu, but Xiangchuan was still worried.
She had already experienced this when she was a child. She would not overly believe in the superficial aroma until she actually took the food into her mouth.
What's more, in modern times, there are liquid foods that smell tasteless but taste like they can refresh the world view. They were so unpalatable that Kagawa once wondered whether modern people had given up on the pursuit of delicious food that is both delicious and delicious.
Fortunately, she was relieved later when she saw her sister praising the cake decoration made by Liang Gong.
Put a small piece of cut tofu into a bowl. When Xiangchuan picked up a spoon and scooped up a small amount and brought it to his mouth, he suddenly remembered something: I have never eaten uncooked tofu!
What does uncooked tofu taste like? Xiangchuan racked his brains and thought about tofu dishes, and suddenly thought of the undercooked tofu puffs he bit into when eating hot dishes at home in winter, or in other words, fried tofu. Fresh.
The cooked water tofu will not be as golden and chewy as the fried tofu. The uncooked fried tofu tastes dry and tasteless, and the inside is also a bit beany. Think about it when Kagawa drank it yesterday.
Freshly squeezed soy milk without added sugar has a beany smell that is unacceptable to modern people. The tofu in front of you probably tastes similar to that soy milk.
The premise is that she is sure of the amount of white vinegar used in the marinade, otherwise she will rush back to the room later to quickly check how to cook sour tofu.
After preparing himself mentally, Xiangchuan put the spoonful of tofu into his mouth with the courage to risk everything, and the four people watching couldn't help but become nervous.
Xiangchuan chewed gently with her teeth, tasted it in her mouth, and swallowed the spoonful of tofu with a subtle expression. When the four of them saw her like this, their hearts sank: Could it be that she failed?
Seeing Xiangchuan's frowning and silent look, Ouyang Yating suppressed the doubts in her heart and quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "It's okay, Xiangchuan. If you fail this time, just try again next time. There are so many beans in your warehouse...
…”
"Ah?" Xiangchuan saw Ouyang Yating approaching nervously before he came back to his senses. Seeing the nervous expressions of the four people, he knew they had misunderstood something, so he quickly waved his hands: "No, you misunderstood, the tofu is fine.
, the recipe is correct, I just didn’t expect the freshly made tofu to taste like this.”
To be precise, I didn't expect that uncooked tofu tastes so difficult to describe. When this sentence came to her lips, Xiangchuan quickly changed her words. After all, the piece of tofu in her kitchen was probably the first piece of tofu in modern times. Modern people don't even know about tofu.
I have never seen or eaten cooked tofu. If you say this, it will really reveal the truth. Every one of my team members is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Taste?" Ouyang Yating and the three of them looked at each other. Each took a spoon and scooped a small spoonful of tofu from Xiangchuan's bowl and put it into his mouth. Then Xiangchuan saw that the expressions of the three of them gradually changed from curiosity to indescribable.
of complexity.
"Did ancient people really use this kind of thing to cook?" Ainuo, who was not used to the smell of tofu, followed the principle of not wasting food and had to use his strength to swallow the tofu in his mouth, but his face was so dark.
It’s similar to what it looked like when I saw Kagawa’s monthly math test scores.
Xiangchuan laughed twice. Even "ancient people" like her were not used to eating tofu directly, let alone modern people. However, seeing that the three of them showed no interest in the tofu, she quickly said: "I guess eating it directly
No, I’ll try to make it according to the recipe.”
In the end, we could only use the old method to rectify the name of tofu.
Kagawa opened the inventory in the warehouse and the list of medicinal materials that are always available at home.
After pouring the tofu, there was not much time left before eating. It was not appropriate for her to rush back to the room to search for tofu recipes, so she could only cook it herself from the one or two years when she watched her mother cook in her hometown and just started working after graduating from college.
Cook's memory to search for some tofu for a simple meal.
Cooking tofu is actually very simple. Tofu is an ingredient that is very good at absorbing soup. Whether it is delicious on the dinner plate depends mostly on other ingredients, seasonings or cooking techniques. Mapo tofu with a strong taste is smelly.
Tofu, light-tasting cabbage and tofu stew, tofu and fish soup... Kagawa can remember a long list of tofu dishes that he has eaten, but it is really difficult to choose the ones that can be made at the moment.
The biggest difficulty is that there are not enough seasonings. This seasoning refers to not only soy sauce, but also oyster sauce, pepper and other seasonings that modern people have not been exposed to. Just choose a recipe with a strong taste, and the finished product may be able to satisfy your taste.
Everyone was satisfied, but probably still couldn't satisfy their picky tongues, so most of them didn't think about it for now.
There were many recipes with lighter flavors to choose from, but since time was tight, she gave priority to those that were relatively quick to prepare.
After finalizing tonight's dinner menu in her mind, the trio of members of the Tongue Club who were watching began to be directed by her to help. Thanks to some basic skills that the three of them practiced during normal club activities, simple cutting and pickling of vegetables were natural.
Needless to say, Kagawa can naturally have his hands free to deal with tofu and seasonings.
Tool r... Oh no, it's really good to have more helpers. Kagawa thought happily.
When Xiang Weiguo and his wife came back from get off work and walked into the dining room, they smelled some pungent aroma. Noodles and steamed fish with tomato sauce as the staple food were already placed on the table. What attracted people's attention was that the steamed fish was still scattered on the plate. There are some milky white lumps that have never been seen before, mixed in the red soup, which looks particularly attractive.
The couple looked at each other: Could this be what the eldest daughter talked about in the morning? Tofu?
"Ah, Mom and Dad, you are back." Xiangxue put away the floating camera, looked up and saw her parents, and immediately transformed into a good baby. Lin Ming next to her had long been accustomed to her partner's sudden change of face, and he also politely greeted the two of them.
Say hello to the elders.
He nodded to the two children as a response. Today Xiangqi said hello in the morning and said that there were student union activities in the afternoon, so he would not come back for dinner in the evening. However, with everyone from the Xiangchuan Club and this little tail next to Xiangxue, the evening was still very lively.
, but now the other four members of the Tongue Club have not been found.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the kitchen.
First of all, the eldest daughter kept talking: "-Okay, the non-spicy Mapo Tofu is ready, you are satisfied, but how can the non-spicy one be called Mapo-"
"Okay, okay, you've been saying this since the beginning of the knife operation. What's there to worry about after the dishes are done? You can't just sprinkle a handful of chili powder on them." It was Ainuo who retorted.
"It's not impossible..."
"Stop it." "Stop it." "Please don't do this." The three members said in unison.
Then I saw my eldest daughter coming out of the kitchen with a dark face and Daxing carrying two big bowls. When she saw the two of them, she also performed a familiar Sichuan Opera face change: "Dad, Mom, you are back.
"
The daughters of their family are really biological sisters. The couple thought in unison, and then saw the two large soup bowls brought by Daxing filled with red soup and milky white lumps.
Before the two of them opened their mouths, Xiangchuan walked up to them and asked them to serve it as soon as possible: "Serve it quickly, let's try to see if Mapo Tofu is to your liking."
It’s Mapo Tofu, yes, but it’s a simplified version without Sichuan peppercorns and a super modified version that only has minced beef. Xiangchuan silently apologized to the Mapo Tofu he usually eats at Sichuan restaurants. There’s nothing he can do about it, he can’t get it together in special circumstances.
I just happen to be a food addict and want to eat mapo tofu to satisfy my craving, and this is what happened.
