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

  Chapter 69 Oily soybean skin and soybean skin

   "Wow! It smells so good!"

  As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Jinmai ran to the pot and looked in amazement at the big pot full of soy milk.

   "Try it."

  Li Yi scooped out a bowl and handed it to her.

   "Thank you, Brother Yi."

  Zhao Jinmai took over the bowl.

  Wu Lei stretched his neck: "Don't thank you, brother Lei? I only have your soy milk after working all morning."

   "Well, thank you, Brother Lei, Brother Lei, you have worked hard!"

   Zhao Jinmai held back a smile and said something, then looked around and asked, "Is there any sugar?"

  Li Yi heard the words and asked, "Why do you want candy?"

   "You have to add sugar to drink soy milk!"

  Zhao Jinmai explained: "I like to drink something sweeter."

Hearing her words, before Li Yi could explain, Wu Lei said with a heartbroken voice: "Silly girl, adding sugar really spoils such delicious soymilk! You can drink it directly! This soymilk is delicious and sweet, there is no need to add sugar at all." !"

"Really?"

  Zhao Jinmai picked up the bowl suspiciously, took a sip carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Wow! It's really delicious! It's also a little sweet!"

  Li Yi explained: "It's the sweetness of carbohydrates, much softer than the sweetness of sucrose."

   "Where's mine? Where's mine?"

   Liu Yifei urged from the side.

   "You are indispensable."

  Li Yi scooped out a bowl with a smile and handed it to her.

  Liu Yifei took the bowl, took a sip, her eyes lit up, she didn't care to say more, she just gave Li Yi a thumbs up, and took a small sip of the bowl.

   Watching them drink sweetly one by one, the live broadcast room of the program was already flooded with drooling barrage.

   "Ah! I want to drink too!"

  “【Drool】【Drool】【Drool】【Drool】”

   "It's decided, I want to drink two bowls of soy milk and fried dough sticks tomorrow morning!"

   "This fresh soy milk is the best! Oh my god! My mouth is watering!"

   "Is it really not fishy without sugar?"

   "Fresh beans are really not fishy at all. We use fresh beans to make bean curd here, otherwise there will be a fishy smell."

  Li Yi turned off the fire, looked outside the door, and asked, "Where's the manager?"

   "Going out, it seems to be posting signs."

   Wu Lei explained while drinking.

  Hearing this, Li Yi scooped out a bowl and put it aside, keeping it for Huang Xiaoming.

  Following that, he found a pack of paper cups, scooped some out, and signaled to Wu Lei: "Send it to everyone, let everyone try it."

   As he spoke, he picked up a cup and handed it to Master Cai, the PD who followed him: "Brother Cai, try it."

  Good things need to be shared. With so many staff members present, how could it be possible for them to just watch?

   Wu Lei raised his head and finished drinking the soy milk in the bowl, then followed Li Yi to distribute the soy milk to the staff on site.

   Seeing each of the staff members drinking soy milk, they were all full of surprises, and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help admiring.

   "This Li Yiren is pretty good, and he didn't forget to feed some to the staff."

   "I want to drink too! Is it too late to apply for a job at Mango Terrace?"

  Wu Lei was asked to distribute to the rest of the staff, while Li Yi returned to the cauldron and glanced at the soy milk in the pot.

  He just turned off the fire, and the soy milk in the pot has stopped boiling.

   The surface of the soy milk gradually cooled, forming a golden film.

   Seeing this, Li Yi took a few clean bamboo strips and built a shelf.

  Following that, he inserted a bamboo stick into the soybean milk along the side of the pot, and picked up the film with a light pick.

"Eh?"

  Liu Yifei noticed this side, and came to the front with a bowl, curiously asked: "What is this?"

   "In some places it's called Youdoupi, and in others it's called Tofu Clothes."

Li Yi explained casually, then picked up the peeled bean skin, turned it into a rolled strip, and put it on the bamboo frame: "After drying like this, it will harden, and it will It will become yuba."

   "Huh? Yuba is made like this?"

  Zhao Jinmai came to the front in surprise, and looked at Li Yi's movements curiously: "I thought it was made by modern people with machines!"

  Li Yi smiled and explained: "Yuba has a history of more than a thousand years, and it appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not called this name at that time.

  In the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty, it was named bean curd skin. Later, because it looked like bamboo branches, it was also called bean curd stick. "

   While talking, another layer of bean curd condensed in the pot. Li Yi stretched out his hand and squeezed the bean curd directly out of the pot.

"oops!"

  Zhao Jinmai was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid of being hot?"

   "Fortunately, the soy milk is not boiling now, and the surface is only over 70 degrees. As long as the speed is fast enough, it won't be too hot."

   As Li Yi said, he put the bean curd on the shelf.

  Liu Yifei watched him keep peeling off the bean curd from the pot, and asked curiously, "Are you making tofu or bean curd?"

   "Both of these are things that come out of one pot."

  Li Yi explained: "Soy skin is the oil film formed by the condensation of natural fat in soy milk. If all these natural fats are extracted, the remaining soy milk is more likely to agglomerate."

   "So it is."

  Liu Yifei nodded half understanding.

   Zhao Jinmai on the side asked again: "Then the dried tofu we usually eat is also exposed from the pot in this way?"

   "That's not true."

  Li Yi explained: "This is oily bean curd, and dried tofu is bean curd, these two are not the same thing.

   Oil soybean skin is fat, which is condensed from boiled soybean milk, just like the milk skin in milk.

  Tofu skin is tofu, which is similar to tofu. It is all pressed, but it is very thin. "

   "Well, I like to eat anyway."

  Zhao Jinmai stuck out his tongue and asked with a smile, "Are you going to make tofu skin this time?"

"Do."

  Li Yi nodded: "I want to make vegetarian chicken, vegetarian beef, and vegetarian ham. These must be made with tofu skin."

   "Meat and vegetarian?"

  Zhao Jinmai was dumbfounded.

"some."

  Liu Yifei explained: "In some temples, some vegetarian dishes will be made, including vegetarian chicken, vegetarian meat and other dishes, but they are all made of tofu."

   "That's it!"

  Zhao Jinmai nodded, and then complained: "Since they are all vegetarians, why make them look like meat? Isn't this superfluous?"

   "This is called imitation meat dish."

While picking up the bean curds, Li Yi explained: "During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism began to spread to our country. At that time, the Buddhists strongly advocated asceticism and advocated Buddhist vegetarianism, but they did not promote it. At that time, even monks could eat meat. of.

  During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasties promulgated the "Ban Jiu Rou Wen Wen" because of his deep belief in Buddhism, advocating that Buddhists should be vegetarian and stipulating that monks must strictly implement it.

  So since then, all monks in China have become vegetarians.

  However, there is a requirement in "Ban Jiu Rou Rou Wen" that the three animals used for sacrifices must also be changed to vegetarian.

  Ordinary people had no choice. They couldn’t use real meat for sacrifices, and they had to keep the three animals in their original shape, so they tried to use soy products to make them look like meat. Later, they gradually evolved into imitation meat dishes. "

   Liu Yifei was curious: "Can imitation meat dishes taste like real meat?"

  Li Yi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Of course, any meat dish you can think of can be made into imitation meat dishes, so you can't tell the real from the fake."
