Food Circle Plug-in Emperor

Codonopsis lily stewed pork lung and Huaishan quail soup are cooked in two stoves.

Although Fu Yu never deliberately looked at Liu Shaoxian and others who were standing by and watching, in fact, he kept paying attention to their movements from the corner of his eyes.

Seeing Liu Shaoxian and Xiao Jiping chatting in a low voice, you don't need to listen to know that they must be evaluating the two medicinal meals he just made.

Such an opportunity is rare.

Fu Yu took a look at the ingredients prepared on the kitchen counter, and decided to show off his unique skills on the spur of the moment, to frighten Liu Shaoxian.

He picked up the small basin containing the live loach, put some flour into the basin, and repeatedly changed the water and flour several times to let the loach spit out the viscera in its abdomen.

To make this dish, loach must be cleared.

In fact, the loach sent from the seafood store has been raised in the store for a few days, and the internal organs have been almost vomited. However, unlike other cooking, the requirements for the cleanliness of the ingredients are very strict.

In this regard, Fu Yu would rather spend more effort than affect the taste of the herbal diet just because it saves trouble for a while.

In fact, Fu Yu had never cooked loach as an ingredient before.

After all, Maxima is a seafood shop, and it uses high-end ingredients. Country game such as loach is not on the menu at all.

In the classroom of the chef school, there has never been a relevant cooking teaching of dishes.

The reason why Fu Yu came up with this dish was because of the blessing of the teaching practice class. In the teaching class of Quan Yu Feast, Fu Yu suffered a lot because of this dish of loach and tofu.

In fact, there are many special delicacies in China, which are widely recognized.

Of course, there are many reasons why these characteristic delicacies are famous.

Some are recognized by everyone because the food itself tastes good, and people who eat it are full of praise.

And some foods are known to everyone because of the special ingredients or methods, which leave a deep impression on people who have seen and eaten it once, and loach tofu is obviously the latter.

When Fu Yu first heard about this dish, he was also very interested.

The main ingredients of loach drilled tofu are loach and tofu.

Loach is game in the rural fields. It tastes very delicious, and the tofu is also very tender. The combination of loach and tofu in soup is also very delicious.

However, the taste of this dish is second to none, mainly because this dish looks very strange.

Loach is not simply mixed with tofu for cooking. In the finished dishes, it can be clearly seen that the loach has penetrated into the tofu, with half of the body inside the tofu and half outside.

When Fu Yu saw this dish for the first time in the teaching practice class, it was the finished product that he saw first.

At that time, he was very curious, did these loaches get in by themselves?

But how did the loach get into the tofu?

In fact, recalling the experience in the teaching practice classroom, Fu Yu still has a lot of emotion.

Because the figure at that time was not a hand-in-hand teaching, but in the later stage, he would be provided with the corresponding ingredients and let him cook according to the finished dishes.

At that time, Fu Yu felt tortured.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple.

At the very beginning, when learning to cook dishes in the teaching practice class, the figure would demonstrate first, and then he would imitate and learn.

For him at the beginner level, it is still quite difficult.

But later, after his culinary skills improved significantly, the difficulty of figure teaching also began to increase.

Just like this loach-drilled tofu dish, Fu Yu had to toss it very hard at the beginning.

The ingredients provided in the teaching practice classroom are all fresh, and the fish is even more fresh.

However, the ingredients are not carefully selected and provided, but are the same as the ingredients normally purchased by the back kitchen, with different sizes and shapes.

The large bucket of loach provided at that time contained large and small ones. Although all of them were fresh, Fu Yu really worked hard to choose them.

When he tried it for the first time, Fu Yu thought that the tofu was too tender, and if the loach was too big, it would break the tofu before it got into the tofu.

So I deliberately chose relatively small wild loach, and I chose the tender brine tofu for the tofu.

Using the method guided by the figure, repeatedly use flour and water to make the loach spit out the abdominal viscera.

Fu Yu put the loach and tofu into the pot, added cold water and simmered slowly, and added a little salt, green onion, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings, then covered the lid and waited slowly.

I thought they would dive into the tofu desperately when they were hot, but no loach got in at all! ! !

In the second attempt, Fu Yu used chopsticks to pierce the holes in the tofu, artificially made nests, and restarted the fire.

Put the loach in for the second time, heat it a little, and when the loach feels sweaty and struggling, put the slightly chilled tofu into the pot.

result

Facts have proved that loaches have no brains!

Don't jump into such an obvious pit.

Only one went in, probably stuck accidentally.

For the third attempt, Fu Yu was so frantic that he manually planted the little loach into the tofu. He felt that this time it must be safe. After all, the drill had already been drilled, and the rest could be cooked. However, it still turned into loach Tofu stew.

However, although the continuous cooking failed, Fu Yu felt that there is still a possibility of success in this dish, but it needs tofu with a particularly tender texture, like tofu nao, which can make loach sink into it when it is touched. Normal tofu is impossible.

That's what he thought.

So the tofu was changed to another piece, and another piece.

At that time, Fu Yu was obsessed with trying to get the loach to drill tofu because of his understanding of the dish's shape and name.

He guessed that if water and live loach were put into the pot, and then heated slowly, the loach would slowly feel the rising temperature, so it would twist its body and run into the tofu.

The loach itself also lives in the silt, and naturally it can drill into the tofu to avoid the high temperature, but because the tofu is also slowly heated, the loach eventually keeps its body in the state of death inside the tofu, so it becomes the tofu that we see. Go in like a loach.

As a result, this idea gradually faltered with repeated cooking failures.

Because he found that if the loach and tofu were heated at the same time, the loach would not get into the tofu, but struggled hard, smashing the tofu.

At that time, he finally realized that doing so might not be successful. There should be other tricks to make this dish look like a finished product.

Fu Yu has always been very smart and quick to respond.

When he realized that he might have thought wrong and walked into a misunderstanding, he immediately changed his mind.

He began to think that the loach would not easily get into the tofu because the loach was alive and disobedient. What if the loach was dead?

Not soft, but hard, can be inserted directly into tofu, and then cooked

He even used the finished dish as an example to dig up the tofu with a spoon, and carefully observed the appearance of the loach in the tofu and the damage of the tofu.

Some things are actually not as complicated and difficult as imagined.

Just because there is no knack for catching the key.

When he saw that the tofu was dug up, as he thought before, there were only holes where the regular loach drilled in, and there was no other obvious damage, Fu Yu seemed to be enlightened.

The feeling at that moment cannot be described in words.

Perhaps only a chef can understand this excitement and indescribable sense of accomplishment.

And precisely because he figured out the key to cooking this dish, Fu Yu made the finished dish very smoothly in the next operation.

In fact, the difficulty of this dish is how to let the loach penetrate into the tofu smoothly. As for the cooking steps, it is very simple.

Seeing that Fu Yu started to pick up the loach, Liu Shaoxian couldn't help but turned his head and exchanged glances with Xiao Jiping.

Loach!

This thing can be used as medicine.

It has the effects of nourishing the spleen and kidney, diuresis, and detoxification. It is often used for symptoms such as spleen deficiency diarrhea, fever and thirst, and diabetes.

However, Liu Shaoxian really didn't use this ingredient much when making medicinal meals.

On the contrary, Xiao Jiping, when he saw that Fu Yu chose to cook loach, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously took half a step forward, so that he could see more clearly.

As a Chinese medicine doctor, he is very familiar with the medicinal effects of loach.

When I was seeing a doctor before, I also met a patient who believed in folk remedies and wanted to eat loach raw to treat jaundice hepatitis.

A very young child, about six or seven years old, the family insisted on washing the big loach bought in the market and letting the child eat it raw.

Such a young child, with thin throat and eyes, was in excruciating pain, but the nurse found out, and hurried to find a doctor, and finally alarmed Xiao Jiping, who came to check it out himself.

Xiao Jiping has been practicing medicine for many years and the doctors are benevolent, so he can understand the mood of the patient's family members rushing to the doctor in a hurry, but the current situation is simply nonsense.

This is why Xiao Jiping is famous. Hearing that he came, the patient's family members are willing to listen to him.

Xiao Jiping deliberately popularized science with them at that time.

In fact, this loach can indeed cure diseases, and it can be regarded as a kind of medicinal material.

However, the way to take it is not to swallow the whole loach, but to put the live loach in clean water for 24 hours and then rinse it off.

Loach is dried and ground into powder, and appropriate amount of mint and spices are added as flavoring agents. Take it 3 times a day, 10g each time, after meals, it can treat acute infectious jaundice hepatitis.

But under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to swallow it raw, because it is easy for parasites to enter the body.

Seeing that Fu Yu used loach as a medicinal meal, Xiao Jiping immediately became interested.

He was quite curious, if this loach was made into medicinal food, how would it be cooked?

You must know that this loach is not like other ingredients. Many people see its ugly appearance and slimy body. It is disgusting to look at it, let alone eat it.

Liu Shaoxian and Xiao Jiping have been friends for many years and know each other's preferences very well.

Seeing that because of work, his nature is indifferent, and his old friend who has always been in a calm state, at this time, he is staring at Fu Yu cooking with great interest.

He couldn't help but also became interested.

Looking at Fu Yu who was calmly handling the loach, he saw his calm posture and quick movements. It was obviously just a simple cooking, but it was made by him, but it seemed to be an appreciation of cooking teaching edited online.

Needless to say, it's really pleasing to the eye.

Liu Shaoxian moved forward calmly for a long time, staring at Fu Yu's movements, secretly annoyed:

Could it be that this loach can really make flowers?

However, when he saw Fu Yu's operation later, this thought suddenly turned into a dumbfounded exclamation.

Good guy!

This, this also works.

In fact, Fu Yu didn't think too much when he was operating it. He just cleaned up the loach and wanted to pick out a few of the right size from the pile of loach for cooking.

However, during the operation, he subconsciously reached out to touch a pair of chopsticks, and then quickly grabbed a loach with the chopsticks like a god, and then put it in the storage box prepared in advance.

This is also something that Fu Yu has gradually gotten used to since he was rewarded with universal chopsticks last time.

The universal chopsticks are really easy to use. No matter what ingredients you pick up, they won’t slide off, and they can be pinched exactly where you want to pinch. It couldn’t be more convenient.

Moreover, with the increase in the number of times of use, Fu Yu also gradually discovered that in the process of use, in fact, the operation can be clearly felt, and the operation is more proficient and smooth than when it was first used.

Maybe it has something to do with the flexibility of your fingers?

Although the dexterity of the fingers has only increased by 10%, it is obviously much better than before.

When operating various kitchen utensils, fingers play a very important role, and many operations during cooking test the flexibility of fingers.

Because of the close distance and careful observation, Liu Yunong was almost the first to notice that every time Fu Yu picked up the loach, the chopsticks landed on a third of the fish's body.

This place is just the location of the viscera of the loach. When gripping, the support of the viscera can effectively prevent the chopsticks from damaging the surface of the fish skin.

Not to mention, Fu Yu picked up the loach with chopsticks, this unique skill made several people dumbfounded and sighed secretly.

Just the fact that he was able to precisely place the chopsticks on the same position of the fish body with a quick grip is enough to surprise people.

This is a loach fish, slippery and not slippery, it is very difficult for ordinary people to grab it with their hands, let alone chopsticks.

Seeing Fu Yu put the loach fish one by one into the storage box, if it weren't for the loach fish struggling crazily when being picked up, it would make people mistakenly think that the loach fish is dead, and The fish body has actually been specially treated so that it is not so greasy.

For the action of pinching the loach, Fu Yu relied entirely on the feel of his hands. He stared at the loach in the basin, quickly judged the most suitable one, and then stretched out his chopsticks to grab it.

This operation became more and more proficient, and his movements became faster and faster.

In terms of absolute feel, Fu Yu has already mastered the use of it.
