Gourmets of the Heavens - Chapter 506 Untitled

Soup soup is different from ordinary soup. There are many finely divided ingredients and thick soup.

However, if you simply use starch to make soup, even if the base is mainly broth, there will still be big problems, especially the loss of taste and nutrition.

So Zhao Youqian’s way of thickening the cornstarch is very different.

He used double thickening, and added some thickening with ingredients.

Lotus root starch and the special ingredients that he is now handling with impurities on it, white fungus!

It is not a particularly surprising way to use white fungus to make a sticky feeling, but it is used less in soup, which is also considering the physical factors of Isayama Koizumi.

Tremella, as a special fungus, actually has the effect of nourishing vitality.

So Zhao You used this method to better increase the efficacy of this Tai Chi Yin Yang Soup as a medicinal diet.

It cannot be washed with water, and can only be manually removed with a wet towel step by step to clean up the impurities on the surface, so this is also an ingredient that requires meticulousness and patience.

On the contrary, Tugong Kagura had an inexplicable sense of participation, and consciously sat beside Zhao Youqian, and began to slowly learn how to handle the white fungus.

Although it would destroy a lot of ingredients, Tugong Kagura, who was rare and not in a hurry, imitated Zhao Youqian’s movements, and quickly mastered the trick of cleaning the white fungus.

The action should be gentle, wipe slowly and evenly, don’t be too anxious.

In this way, the cleaning speed of Tugong Kagura is much better than the frizzy one at the beginning, and it also reduces the burden on Zhao Youqian. It was originally expected to deal with the white fungus for an hour, but it was all done in less than forty minutes.

At this time, the two pots of broth have begun to release some aroma.

Zhao Youqian has completely entered the state of cooking, and only has this dish in his heart wholeheartedly, even if Tugong Kagura is in the kitchen, he is completely ignored.

Fortunately, Tugong Kagura is also familiar with Zhao Youqian, knowing that once he enters the state of cooking, he retreats carefully, and then looks at his very familiar elder brother doing his best for his sister!

The broth is already simmering, and now comes the most important main ingredient, Huainan tofu!

So this dish is simple and simple, just prepare the broth, thicken the ingredients, and season with a little salt.

But it is very difficult to say that it is difficult. The requirements for ingredients, broth, and most importantly, tofu are all extremely high!

How high is it? Super-level broth is just basic, and ingredients that are not top-notch are not available, especially for tofu. The legendary quality of supernatant tofu in the world of one person is just qualified.

From this, we can know the extent to which this dish requires ingredients. However, because this dish also requires the quality of ingredients, its potential actually depends on how far the ingredients can be.

As long as you can perfectly master the recipe of this dish, good enough ingredients can push this dish to a level that surprises the cooks.

Once at a state banquet, Fengyun Pavilion Heavenly King Meng Xinghe once kept this dish intact, but changed the ingredients to push it to the level of Heavenly King cuisine, which is far higher than Dragon-level cuisine!

Generally speaking, the cuisine of the king of heaven is only the peak of the dragon level, and the cuisine of the king of heaven is usually only known to him.

Therefore, Tai Chi Yin Yang Geng is also considered to be the most common recipe with the most potential.

It even later became a recipe that every graduate of Yaodongfang School must learn, because of this amazing potential.

As for processing tofu-like ingredients, it only depends on everyone’s basic skills, but even ordinary graduates from Yaodongfang can cut tofu to the thickness enough to pass through ordinary sewing needles, so there is nothing to mention of.

What is difficult for Zhao Youqian is not the thickness, but the consistency.

To maintain a balance in the artistic conception of cooking, the ingredients themselves must also be handled in a balanced and complete manner, even in thickness.

In this way, when the food enters the diner’s mouth, there will be no abrupt and subtle changes in the taste that will lower the artistic conception.

Perhaps these subtle changes will not affect the sober diners, but it has a great impact on Isayama Huangquan.

Balance is the main axis that Zhao Youqian gives to this dish, so he must also complete it to the point of perfection.

The extremely flat and thin Yaozhou-style kitchen knives need to be thicker than ordinary kitchen knives, and even the blade should have some curvature. This will not only make the kitchen knife sharper, but also better maintain the kitchen knife.

But what Zhao Youqian chose this time is a bit special, it is only a thin blade as thick as a thin layer of paper, you may even wonder what such a thin knife can do.

For general cooking, this kind of knife is really not very useful, but it is an excellent tool for dealing with tofu.

The black and white Huainan tofu are soaked in spring water separately. There is no need to worry about too much water, which will dilute the taste of the soup. Zhao Yougan scoops up a piece of tofu from the water and puts it on the cutting board.

The tofu that is constantly shaking from side to side on the cutting board is not only smooth as a mirror, but also quite elastic, unlike ordinary soft tofu, which breaks easily.

Pick up a knife and divide the tofu into four parts, not using such a large tofu block, but also to maintain the consistency of the shredded tofu during processing.

The knife was cut without a sound, and every time it was about to fall on the cutting board, the knife was drawn behind the back, just to cut the tofu without cutting the cutting board.

However, Zhao Yougan used this kind of fine knife skills very quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a few small pieces of tofu have become extremely thin tofu slices.

He patted it lightly with a thin blade, and the tofu obediently adhered to the cutting board, and then it was the final treatment.

Shred!

At this time, you can hear the light touch of the chopping board and the blade, and each touch is followed by the next light touch, so that Tugong Kagura can only see Zhao Youqian’s arm constantly pushing back and forth, followed by a nearly perfect The tofu with no trace of cutting had appeared before her eyes again.

If Zhao Youqian hadn’t carefully pushed the tofu into the water, Tugong Kagura would be dazzled by the shredded tofu that spread out at that moment.

Maybe she thought that Zhao Youqian was just testing the feeling of the blade, instead of actually cutting tofu shreds.

‘So fast, so fast! Simply unbelievable! ‘

In just a few seconds, this most critical part has been completed, which really makes Tumiya Kagura unbelievable.

While Tugong Kagura was feeling emotional, Zhao Youqian finished cutting another piece of black tofu at the same speed and put it in a different bowl before straightening up.

He let out a long breath of foul air.
