Food Circle Plug-in Emperor

Liu Yunong was taken aback.

Mirror box tofu?

She had never heard of this dish.

There are actually many ways to make a small box of tofu, but she has seen and can do the common and well-known cooking methods.

But how this mirror box tofu is made, even as the name suggests, there is no general clue for a while.

Fu Yusheng took out a small box of tofu, and then began to prepare the menu.

This dish of mirror box tofu was actually Fu Yu's first experience.

It is recorded in the classic old taste recipe that this dish is an innovative improvement of the home-cooked dish fried tofu stuffed meat, and the fried tofu is replaced with a small box of tofu for filling cooking.

It just meets the requirements of customers. The most important point is that there is no need to worry about the ingredients.

Liu Yunong glanced at the menu. Shrimp, eggs, minced pork, shiitake mushrooms and green beans were all that was needed.

Seeing that the dishes are prepared, they are preparing to make stuffing, but they don't know how Fu Yu plans to cook them.

Fu Yu took a look at the minced meat chopped by Xiaogong, added Shaoxing wine and refined salt to it, and stirred it into meat filling.

He learned the technique of mixing stuffing from Liu Yunong. From posture to angle, he has learned the essence, and because of his own physical strength and finger flexibility, the speed of mixing is very fast and stable.

Liu Yunong watched Fu Yu's operation, and suddenly felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart.

He was gratified that Fu Yuqing was better than Lan because of Lan, but also a little disappointed that he was surpassed so easily.

After Fu Yu cut the small box of tofu into 4 pieces, each piece was evenly cut into 3 small rectangular pieces.

These 12 pieces of tofu are cut according to specifications, and the classic old taste recipes are marked with clear length, width and thickness, which is very accurate.

Fu Yu completed the cutting according to the guidance of the green line.

However, the next step is to drain the water with a slotted spoon.

If it is in the kitchen of Maxima, then whether it is Zhang Jinyu or Sun Qingning, they must have taken the initiative to help in the kitchen at this time.

But the person standing next to him right now is Liu Yunong.

It happened to be just a one-step draining operation, and Fu Yu was free at this time, and had no other tasks to occupy.

For a while, he really had no excuse to let Liu Yunong fight.

Fu Yu didn't open his mouth, and Liu Yunong naturally didn't have the idea of ​​helping the cook, after all, she was usually in charge of cooking, and others would help her.

After hesitating for a while, Fu Yu simply picked up the chopsticks and put the tofu cubes directly on the prepared plate.

He moves quickly, and the chopsticks hold the tofu without slipping or damaging the shape of the tofu.

Seeing the tender tofu tremblingly picked up by Fu Yu's chopsticks, and then transferred to the plate, Liu Yunong was dumbfounded.

Liu Zhangpeng stared at the scene in front of him in astonishment!

Come on!

However, I have no culture, so I can walk the world with a single sentence!

I can't express my amazement!

This Nima is a stunt, right?

Tofu with chopsticks, or a small box of tofu!

Put all the tofu cubes intact on the plate. Fu Yu put the pot on high heat and heated up, poured in soybean oil, and when it was 80% hot, slide the tofu cubes on the plate into the pot.

When the tofu is deep-fried until it has a soft shell and turns golden brown, remove it with chopsticks and drain the oil.

With the previous operation of Fu Yu directly picking up the tender tofu with chopsticks, now it is not so shocking to drain the oil after frying.

Fu Yu used the handle of a spoon to scoop out a portion of soft tofu in the middle of each piece of tofu.

Liu Yunong is close, so he can see clearly.

Fu Yu's operation at this step seemed random, but it was actually very precise.

The tofu cubes dug out cannot be pierced through the bottom, and cannot be broken on the four sides, and the most wonderful thing is that every time Fu Yu digs out, he digs a piece of tofu five times.

Dig once in each of the four corners, and finally buy the bottom.

Fu Yu did it neatly, digging out the tofu cubes so well that they could stand on their feet. With this level of precision, Liu Yunong couldn't help but hold his breath.

I was afraid that because I was panting, the hollowed tofu block would collapse.

Liu Zhangpeng didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and stared straight at Fu Yu's operation, fearing that he would regret any detail he had done.

This is simply the most perfect hollowing process he has ever seen.

Fu Yu hollowed out all the tofu blocks, then filled them with meat fillings, and then embedded a large shrimp on top of the meat fillings to make the prototype of mirror box tofu.

Not to mention, these 12 pieces of tofu are arranged in a row, and it looks a bit like Yong Tau Foo immediately.

Fu Yu changed another pot, heated it on high heat, poured in soybean oil, added minced green onion and fried until fragrant, then added shiitake mushrooms and green beans.

At this time, he deliberately lifted the pot away from the burner, and then carefully adjusted the direction of the mirror box tofu, so that the shrimps were placed in the pot neatly facing down.

Finally, move it to the high heat, add Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and other seasonings, shake the wok to dissolve the seasonings.

When participating in the competition before, Liu Yunong did not have the opportunity to pay attention to the cooking operations of other contestants because he had to play himself.

Even if you are free, you should hurry up and deal with the company's major and minor affairs.

After all, he runs several restaurants under his command, and there are so many things to deal with every day.

Because he didn't pay attention to it, Liu Yunong was a little dumbfounded when he saw Fu Yu's operation of turning the pot.

At this time, Fu Yu was very sophisticated. He held the handle of the pot with one hand, and when he turned his wrist, the seasoning in the pot flowed and quickly fused together.

Fu Yu's palm is very wide, and his wrist drives the body of the pot to shake extremely fast.

He has always been so focused on cooking that Liu Yunong leaned closer and stretched his neck to observe his operations carefully, but he didn't even notice.

The method of turning the pot is not the same as before!

Liu Yunong took a closer look, and found that Fu Yu had adjusted the angle and range of operation, which was more labor-saving, more convenient, and the effect was better.

This is an improvement based on the operation of turning the pot and adding my own understanding.

Liu Yunong showed a look of appreciation, but those who are masters like this kind of apprentices who are diligent, studious and good at drawing inferences from one example.

After the sauce in the pot boiled, Fu Yu covered the pot, moved to a low heat and cooked until the meat stuffing was cooked, then removed the pot cover, put it on high heat, and shook the wok to thicken the soup.

Then hook it with water starch, pour cooked lard along the side of the pot, turn the tofu over by turning the pot, with the shrimps facing up.

There were 12 pieces of tofu evenly spread on the bottom of the pot. Fu Yu shook the spoon vigorously, and all the tofu pieces rose into the air, and in the next moment, they all fell back into the pot.

All the tofu blocks are kept intact and neatly arranged.

What Fu Yu did was really beautiful. To be able to achieve such a level in making spoons, skill alone is not enough, and it needs repeated practice over time.

Liu Yunong watched silently, thinking in his heart, Maxima really deserves to be a century-old shop, and it is really good at training kitchen staff.

A good chef wants to have superb cooking skills. Skills are one aspect, and a solid cooking foundation is also very important!

Just like a spoon, as long as the basics are well practiced, and with your own understanding and improvement, you can reach Fu Yu's current level of perfection.

Such a comparison, it seems that she is a little inferior in the training of the kitchen staff.

It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the basic training for the kitchen staff in due course.

At this time, Fu Yu poured sesame oil evenly over the tofu cubes, then directly held the pot, and slid all the tofu cubes into the plate.

If it is said that Liu Yunong's eyes were brightened by the previous flipping of the spoon, then the operation of this hand-sliding plate is simply stunned!

The 12 pieces of tofu slid directly from the pot onto the plate. One piece did not fall off, and they were evenly arranged. It looked like it was placed by hand. How could it be seen that it was just a one-step sliding operation, and the plate arrangement was completed accurately!

Fu Yu looked at the cooked mirror box tofu on the plate and was very satisfied.

Regardless of the taste, the shape of the plate is exactly the same as the classic old recipe.

Wang Yulong just finished the cooking at hand, so he came here to take a look at Fu Yu's cooking.

Looking at it, I couldn't help but admire: "Don't say it, this mirror box tofu really has the meaning of stuffed tofu. Look at the plate, the cooked tofu filling is very full. Just by looking at the shape, you can tell that the taste must be very delicate and tender."

The small box of tofu is very fresh and tender. When I made Yong Tau Foo before, I was worried that the filling would not be cooked, but Fu Yu cleverly chose the easy-to-cook shrimp with minced pork.

A thin layer of minced pork is paired with a thick layer of shrimp. The taste is fresh and tender. You don't have to worry about the cooking time being too short and the filling will be raw.

I have to say that the dish Fu Yu chose is wonderful!

Liu Zhangpeng's kitchen counter was a little far away, and he waited for the dishes at hand to be placed on the plate before sending them away, so he took the time to come over and have a closer look at the dishes.

Fu Yu blanched a few rapeseed cores casually, and spread them around the plate for the final decoration.

The light green color raises the grade of the whole dish.

Liu Zhangpeng looked at the freshness, then turned to Fu Yu and asked, "Why is this dish called mirror box tofu?"

Fu Yu also took a quick glance at the introduction of this dish on the classic old taste recipe just now.

Because I just glanced over it, I didn’t remember the detailed allusions, and only explained roughly: “I also heard about it. It seems that the tofu in this dish is shaped like a mirror box for women’s grooming, so it’s named Mirror Box Tofu.”

Liu Zhangpeng was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Oh, so it's a special dish handed down from ancient times?"

After all, he took a closer look at the arrangement and shape of the whole dish.

I couldn't help thinking: Don't say it, this dish is really good. The orange-red tofu cubes are made of fresh and tender tofu in a small box, so you don't need to taste it to know that the taste must be fresh and mellow, and the tofu is filled with stuffing. The combination of meat and vegetables is suitable for all ages.

The order is for children, and this dish is very suitable.

After the dishes are cooked, they are delivered to the table by the waiter.

Liu Yunong was worried, so he simply followed.

In the front hall, when he saw the family, Liu Yunong hurried forward with a smile on his face, and greeted warmly: "Hello, I am the owner of this store. Brother Li specially called before and asked me to entertain them here, but I didn't choose this dish properly, which affected your dining mood. I am so sorry."

The customers are a family of four, two elderly people, a young mother and child.

The young mother stretched her head to look at the new dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the main reason is that I decided to bring the children here, and Lao Li didn't make it clear when he ordered the meal. The mapo tofu just now is actually really delicious, but the child is too young to eat spicy food."

"Baby, look, this dish is the stuffed tofu you want!"

She said, deliberately pushing the dish in front of the child.

The child stretched his head to glance at the dishes on the plate, but he didn't show much joy, he just asked seriously: "What I want to eat is stuffed tofu and meat, is this?"

The young mother said, "Yes, this is Yong Tau Foo, stuffed tofu!"

The elderly grandma next to him said: "Yes, baby, your mother is right. This is Yong Tau Foo. I have eaten it before, and there are fillings in it! Try it while it is hot, and see if it tastes good."

When the child heard this, he said, "Okay, then I'll eat a piece."

Seeing that the children were willing to eat vegetables, the three parents were overjoyed and actively helped to pick up the vegetables.

Liu Yunong was stunned.

The child said just now that the dish he wants to eat is stuffed tofu and meat?

Don’t you want to eat Yong Tau Foo?

Liu Yunong took a bite of the tofu from the mirror box and thought it was delicious. The child who started to eat the food couldn't help but ask, "Is this dish still good to eat? I just heard the little baby say that I want to eat tofu with meat stuffing? What kind of dish is that? Is it a staple food? Steamed stuffed buns, or dumplings? I can also help make it here."

The young mother hurriedly said: "No, I think he likes this dish very much! The tofu stuffed meat he mentioned is probably Yong Tau Foo, not buns or dumplings."

At this time, the child suddenly yelled: "Who said it's not! It's just dumplings, steamed dumplings, stuffed with tofu and meat, it's dumplings!"

When the young mother heard this, she was stunned.

She asked in surprise, "Dumplings? Why are they made into dumplings again? Isn't it stuffed tofu?"

The child immediately lost his temper: "It's just dumplings, fried, stuffed with tofu and meat!"

Liu Yunong was speechless.

Dare to order the wrong dish!

She was still thinking, this kid is really good at eating, and even knows how to order their shop's signature stuffed vegetables.

The young mother was dumbfounded: "Hey, this is a big deal. You just said tofu and meat stuffing. I thought it was tofu with meat stuffing in it. It must be stuffed vegetables. So what you want are steamed dumplings with tofu and meat stuffing?"

The child's grandfather suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "I remember, it seems like last year, once I went to dinner with the baby's father, and ordered a steamed dumpling filled with tofu from the store, and the baby really ate several at that time!"

When the child's grandma heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, my treasure has such a good memory? I remember everything from last year!"

At this point, Liu Yunong had no choice but to ask: "Then do you need to ask the back chef to make another fried dumpling?"

The young mother immediately said: "No, this is almost finished, so I don't want to wait. The baby likes this stuffed tofu, thank you."

After the customers said so, Liu Yunong smiled and said some polite words before going back to the back kitchen. (end of this chapter)
