“Wensi Tofu, oh? Someone finally ordered this dish.” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help feeling emotional when he heard Su Ruoyan reporting the name of the dish.
Ever since Yuanzhou mastered the complete Huaiyang cuisine, he has been waiting for people to order this dish. He never thought that a group of foreigners would order it in the end.
Wensi tofu is a traditional Huaiyang dish, created by the Yangzhou monk Wensi during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Nowadays, many people introduce this dish. In order to highlight the knife skills, they will erase this history. The reason why they say it is called Wensi is because the tofu silk is like a spring of Wensi, which is very vivid and so on.
But in fact, it’s not that complicated. Wensi is a person’s name, which is clearly recorded in history. The Qing Dynasty Yu Yue’s “Tea Fragrance Room Cong Banknotes”: “Wensi’s word is Xifu, a work poem, and a good deed. Tofu soup is sweet porridge. Those who have followed this method so far are called Wensi tofu.”
Monk Wensi not only likes dancing and writing, but also likes to study food. This Wensi tofu is the culmination of his many years of research.
The system once said that when the time is right, you will get the lost dishes of famous people, but so far I haven’t seen it. Yuan Zhou wondered if the system had forgotten about it?
Okay, more than two years have passed since I received Su Cai, and Yuan Zhou himself has forgotten about it.
“Is Angelo’s dish really okay?” Morley asked with certainty, because Angelo had saved the Chinese dish name in his phone when he ordered.
“No problem, this dish is very good.” In Angelo’s cognition, Wensi tofu is the equivalent of shredding pudding.
At that time, after reading the adjective, Angelo’s first reaction was, Chef Huaxia really knows how to joke, how is that possible.
Luca and the others did not have these twists and turns in their hearts. Although they felt that Yuanzhou did not agree to carving, even the money offensive was meaningless, so they put down their minds and planned to eat a good tonic.
Although they didn’t know much about Yuanzhou before they came, they still came across the news that Yuanzhou was invited to join by the Celebrity Chef Federation, so the goal of the three of Luca was steak.
So after Angelo, they ordered steak according to their own habits. After all, they just flipped through the menu and found that even if they are used to eating steak, they have learned a lot today. It turns out that there are so many types and patterns of steak. .
“Chairman of the Huaxia Celebrity Chef Federation, I think this menu alone has killed many chefs in our country.”
“Hundreds of steaks, even a dedicated steak master can’t do.”
“It’s so complete anyway, it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
Luca whispered a few people, and the sense of anticipation reached its peak.
Yuanzhou didn’t pay attention to Luka and the others. For him, the matter of the afternoon has passed. Although he rejected tens of millions, does Boss Yuan care about money?
Do you care?
Of course…cares.
But still cooking is important.
After Angelo finished ordering, the other diners also finished ordering. After getting the menu from Su Ruoyan’s newspaper, Yuanzhou began to cook them one by one.
In the vast Chinese food civilization, most of the cuisines are divided into north and south, and tofu is no exception. There are north and south tofu. There is no difference between sweet and salty.
Southern tofu is made with gypsum, and the solidified tofu flower has a high water content and a tender texture, with a water content of about 90%.
Northern tofu is mostly made with brine or physalis. The solidified tofu flower has less water content, and its texture is older than that of southern tofu, with a water content of about 85%.
To sum up, the northern tofu has less water content, so the tofu has a stronger flavor and is easy to cook in soups, while the southern tofu is suitable for mapo tofu.
Because of the production method, Wensi Tofu uses the North Tofu made with salt and brine.
Yuan Zhou is a man with five cuisines, so some ingredients that are used more frequently can be made in advance, and he will make them in advance. It happens that tofu is one of them.
It is also a blessing, the God of Cooking system also has a name Kitchen Black Technology System…
Yuanzhou took out a piece of tofu from a bucket on the kitchen floor. Because it was ordered with salt and brine, it was not as white as jade as it was made with plaster. Instead, it was slightly yellowish, and the cut surface was still a little small. The pores are the sign of old tofu.
Because it was just behind Wu Hai and Zhou Xi, everyone sat along Wu Hai and Zhou Xi, probably because even if they couldn’t talk to Wu Hai, they had to be closer to Wu Hai. Want to get some ‘talent’?
Therefore, several people could see Yuan Zhou’s actions very clearly.
“This doesn’t look very tasty?” Luca looked at it purely by her looks.
“You can see that there are holes. I don’t think Chef Yuan has any problems with the ingredients. It must be like this.” Morley’s eyes were also good.
Alma also thinks that the appearance is not high, but after thinking about it, he remembers an old saying in China, which probably means that powerful people can’t tell by their appearance.
For example, baked gluten doesn’t look that good, but Alma, who ate it once by accident, loves it.
So Alma said: “I think I can try it when the time comes.”
“You don’t understand Chinese cuisine, why do you look like you understand.” Molly protested to Alma in a low voice.
“Just wait and see~IndoMTL.com~ Angelo ends this discussion.
The discussion outside has always been unable to affect Yuanzhou’s performance.
Yuanzhou did not use a kitchen knife to cut off the old skin when he picked up the tofu, but a bean pole knife, a special kind of knife.
Angelo stared straight at it. This toy-like knife is normal. Not only foreigners have never seen this knife, but only Yuanzhou can use it in China.
To go further, only Yuanzhou’s knife workers can make Wensi tofu with a bean pole knife.
I saw Yuan Zhou dragging the tofu with his left hand. If you look closely, you will see that he did not touch the cut surface of the side with his hand. His hand was slightly dimpled, and only the front of the palm and a small part of the fingers touched the underside of the tofu. The skin, and this layer of skin, also needs to be peeled off.
This is to prevent the tofu from being contaminated with human odors and to ensure the original taste of the tofu to the greatest extent.
“Swish”
I saw a yellowish shadow flashing in front of my eyes, and there was an extra piece of tofu on the dark brown plate next to it. The slightly yellow part of the surface was cut off to reveal the white and tender part that was not exposed to the air. It looked in good condition. Much taller than before.
I haven’t waited for Angelo’s change in the “face value” of the ingredients. What happened next made Angelo and the others think that they had just watched a magic feast, not that the chef was cooking.
I saw the bean pole knife in Yuanzhou’s hand flying. After a minute, he stopped. At this time, the water in the pot was just boiling, and the timing was just right.
Yuanzhou picked up the brown plate that didn’t seem to have changed, tilted it slightly, and the whole piece of tofu slid into the pot. When the tofu was hit by the boiling water, the tofu changed, and it began to separate and gradually spread. , and finally scattered into a pot of shredded tofu.
“Huh??”
