Communicate friendly with food

This dish can be recognized by Zheng Bai, who doesn't like spicy food. Naturally, it can't be bad. As expected, after trying it for Lu Jie, he passed the test smoothly.

It was only after three o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Jie looked at the time and said passionately, "Anyway, if you have time, why not start eating halberds now!"

After a long time, I agreed with Ji.

Zheng Bai shook his head and thought, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk", she felt like everyone was sleeping and I was alone, and she hiccupped in the next second to interrupt her hypocrisy.

Zheng Bai really ate a bowl of rice with this cold mushroom just now, and now he is a little full and uncomfortable, thinking about asking Aunt Lu if she has any digestion tablets, the two men (?) over there with a 15-year difference in age have already Divide the kitchen to each side and prepare for their battles.

It is said to be a food halberd, but it is actually an ordinary game without any bets. Can it be called a food halberd?

"Then what is the theme?" Zheng Bai asked this crucial matter.

"Well, this competition doesn't give you time to prepare, so I'll choose a simple topic, Mapo Tofu, this should be the most basic dish."

Mapo tofu is the most typical dish of Sichuan cuisine. It is a very famous Sichuan dish both at home and abroad. It can be said that Mapo tofu is one of the representatives of Chinese cuisine.

This is also the first Sichuan dish cooked by Zheng Bai. At that time, Zheng Bai was only a small person, and to make a perfect mapo tofu requires turning over the pot, and it took many failures to make a good one. Mapo tofu.

Don't look at Zheng Bai and Jiu Wo Zhaoji's thin and weak appearance, but their arm strength and wrist strength are not covered, they are all trained in the pot.

Now that the topic is determined, let's get started.

The mapo tofu is such a small dish, but it almost gathers the essence of Sichuan cuisine. Various ingredients and seasonings are placed on the table. From this, Zheng Bai saw one of the reasons for her coming to Sichuan, the bottle of bean paste.

Zheng Bai walked into the kitchen, picked up the bean paste, and asked, "Uncle Jie, can I try this bean paste?"

The bottle of bean paste at home was sent by post, and the food will have different changes under the influence of temperature and light. Zheng Bai is very curious whether the taste of the bean paste here will be different.

"?" Lu Jie didn't understand, but he still nodded in an easy-to-talk manner.

Zheng Bai went to the cupboard to get a small spoon, scooped out a small piece, put the bean paste in his mouth and tasted its taste carefully.

"Hmm..." Zheng Bai frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly, "I think this one is hotter than the bottle sent to my house?" Zheng Bai was so hot that he burst into tears.

Lu Jie raised his eyebrows: "Can you eat it?"

"No surprise, her sense of taste is more sensitive." Jiu Wo answered faster than Zheng Bai, "So she often acts as a guinea pig."

"Don't say such sad things..." Zheng Bai was very heartbroken.

Lu Jie nodded clearly: "I added a little more sugar to the bottles of Doubanjiang for your family, because I thought you don't eat too spicy food there. But both kinds of Doubanjiang are made on the same day, only the ingredients It’s just a little different, it seems that you have a good sense of taste, Ah Bai, as your parents said, you are very suitable to be a chef.”

Zheng Bai smiled embarrassedly and said, "I like being a chef, rather than being suitable."

Lu Jie said meaningfully: "If you like it, work hard. Since you have a good taste, then you may as well be the referee." When Lu Jie said this, Zheng Bai remembered that there is no referee.

"With a referee, let's just raise the bet. How can there be no bet on Shiji. Do you want to learn the recipe of my bean paste? I'm not proud of it. The bean paste I make is in short supply."

"Yes!" I replied bluntly.

Zheng Bai declined embarrassingly: "This is not very good."

"There's nothing wrong with it. The little fox is not interested in being a chef. This skill can't be passed on to her. I might take in an apprentice in the future, but I'll talk about it later. I met you now, and you are on the road of being a chef. Now, it’s okay to teach you.”

Zheng Bai didn't refuse now, and looked at Lu Jie with bright eyes.

"However, I have one condition, as a bet on eating the halberd." Lu Jie suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, completely without the gentleness that he said just now "teaching anyone is the same", "If you win for a long time, I will teach you, If I win, I will teach Abai."

Zheng Bai: "..." What is this? Originally, she was just a soy saucer, but now she was dragged into the water directly, and the pot was all over her face when someone stood beside her.

She acts as the referee and directly decides who wins and who loses.

And if Lu Jie wins, she can learn how to make Doubanjiang. If I win for a long time, I can learn how to do it for a long time.

No matter how you look at it, it is a difficult choice, and this choice is directly handed over to her!As a patient with selective disease, Zheng Bai's legs are a little weak.

"Okay!" Jiu I didn't have Zheng Bai's scruples at all, and agreed without hesitation.

"Then let's get started."

Before the words fell, the game had already started.

Zheng Bai put away his entanglement and watched.

Cut the tofu into small pieces, dice the beef, dice the green garlic, dice the green garlic leaves, dice the pickled peppers, mince the pickled ginger, and dice the green peppercorns.

Boil hot water and add salt to the tofu. The salt water can remove the beany smell and make the tofu less brittle. Cook for 2 minutes, drain and set aside.

Put oil in a hot pan, add a few prickly ash to the pan, add beef cubes and stir until fragrant, add minced ginger, tempeh, bean paste, stir-fry balsamic red oil, add minced pickled pepper, chili noodles, stir fry, add water, pour Tofu boiled.

Add salt, pepper, chicken essence, pepper noodles, cook for a while and start to thicken.

It needs to be thickened three times to add more flavor. For the third time, add pepper oil to the sauce, add green garlic and fry for a while, add spicy red oil, and put it on a plate.

Finally, sprinkle some pepper noodles and chopped green garlic to finish.

There was almost no difference in the way the two did it. The last two plates of red mapo tofu that looked like they came out of the same pot were placed in front of Zheng Bai. erect in front of you.

Seeing the embarrassment of the referee, the two discussed for a while and said, "Then let's put it in another bowl, so you don't have to worry about which is which, just choose the one you like."

Zheng Bai naturally nodded in agreement.She turned around and listened to the crisp sound of porcelain colliding behind her. After a while, she heard Jiu Wo say, "It's done."

Two identical bowls and spoons were lined up side by side, and it was impossible to guess which one it was. Zheng Bai picked up the bowl on the right, which was easier to handle, and scooped up a piece of tofu into his mouth.

Putting down the bowl, picked up another bowl, and also scooped up a piece of tofu into his mouth.

Zheng Bai closed his eyes and thought about the texture and taste of these two dishes, and finally opened his eyes and pointed to the bowl on the right.

"I prefer to eat this bowl."
