Chapter 117 Braised Tofu with Green Onion

After tasting the tofu brain, Li Heng finally remembered to continue making tofu.

After being taught by Li Heng, the apprentices gave up the dispute over taste and shook hands to make peace.

Li Heng took out a square mold made of wooden boards and placed it on the stove.

Cover the inside of the mold with a piece of gauze, and then put tofu curd into the mold until the inside of the mold is filled.

Cover the exposed top of the tofu with gauze, place the last board and add a weight on top of the board.

The tofu in the mold will continuously drain out excess water under the squeeze of heavy objects. Just wait for a while for a cup of tea, and a simple Q-bombed gypsum tofu is ready.

"Is this good?"

Lu Xiaoxiao asked after seeing Li Heng take off the heavy objects on the mold, dismantle the mold, spread the gauze, and reveal the large white square inside.

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger to poke the big square in front of him.

"Yes, this is the tofu I want to make."

After Li Heng grabbed the deer's little fingers, he continued: "This is not a toy. Don't break it."

"This tofu doesn't look much different from tofu nao."

The other apprentices took one look and said with a little disappointment, thinking that Uncle Li Heng could do some extra work.

"So what do you think? Tofu and tofu brain are originally the same substance, but they have different states because of the different moisture content."

Li Heng popularizes science for everyone.

"Hmph, you actually think that I don't know how to play tricks, so why not do something special."

Li Heng's expression gradually changed, and a small black cube of food gradually became clear in his mind.

That's right, Li Heng thought of a smelly, smelly delicacy - stinky tofu.

After imagining the scene where this group of aliens and stinky tofu collided for the first time, the smile on Li Heng's face became more obvious.

"Li, brother Li Heng, why do you show such an expression again? Have you thought of some bad idea again and are ready to trick us?"

The sharp-eyed Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly discovered that his brother Li Heng was staring blankly at the large piece of tofu in front of him, but the raised corners of his mouth were particularly eye-catching.

Needless to say, brother Li Heng must be harboring some bad ideas again. When Li Heng put on this expression in the morning, he almost tricked her once.

After Lu Xiaoxiao's interruption, Li Heng came to his senses and put away his reverie.

The production process of stinky tofu is a bit cumbersome, and the brine needs to be prepared in advance. It seems that there is no chance for everyone to appreciate its charm today.

However, Li Heng has already written this down and plans to start preparations tomorrow.

"Xiaoxiao, you are wrong. Don't accuse someone of good things out of thin air. I was just thinking about what to cook with this piece of tofu."

After Li Heng put away his evil smile, he said to Lu Xiaoxiao as if nothing had happened. At the same time, he secretly sighed that he was too careless and almost exposed himself with one expression.

"Xiao Xiao, just wait for me. When the stinky tofu is made, you will be the first to try it."

Li Heng, who looked calm on the surface, was actually starting to fantasize in his heart about how he wanted to take revenge on the little girl in front of him.

"Quia, brother Li Heng, please continue to quibble, I am not wrong."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't believe Li Heng's lies, so he still stared at Li Heng warily, guarding against any small tricks he might make.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I'm going to start preparing dinner."

Li Heng didn't want to confront Lu Xiaoxiao anymore, so he looked up and glanced out the window. It was already evening, and then he turned to the other apprentices.

"Okay, don't be stunned, come here and help."

Since there is no time to make stinky tofu today, Li Heng plans to make a few normal dishes with tofu first.

Using a kitchen knife to cut off a small piece from the large piece of tofu, Li Heng planned to practice his skills by making a simple roasted tofu with green onion.

First, press the small piece of tofu on the cutting board, cut it into a finger-width piece, and put it into a plate.

Wash two green onions and cut them into hob pieces. First, make a diagonal cut, then turn the cut surface to the top and cut diagonally again at half of the cut surface.

Just turn everything over again and again, and you will get scallions of about the same size.

After all the ingredients are cut, you are ready to start cooking. First heat the pot and add a spoonful of oil. While waiting for the oil temperature to rise, continue to use a spoon to scoop up the hot oil from the bottom of the pot and pour it on the inner wall of the pot. .

This will allow a larger area of ​​hot oil to stick to the inner wall of the pot. After about five breaths, add a little salt to the pot to make it easier for the tofu to absorb the flavor.

Next, put the cut tofu into the pot one by one, not too fast.

After adding the tofu, you need to lift the pot and keep shaking the pot over the flame to prevent the tofu from sticking to the pot.

Wait until one side of the tofu is fried until golden brown, then flip it over and fry the other side. After both sides are fried, take it out of the pan and set aside.

Heat oil in another pot, add sliced ​​garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add in chopped green onions, and continue to stir-fry for a while until fragrant.

Add a spoonful of water, a little salt, and half a spoonful of soy sauce to the pot.

"Oh, it's a pity that there is no oyster sauce."

Li Heng sighed with emotion. He didn't know if there were creatures like oysters on the Xuanwu Continent. If there were, he would grab a bucket or two and bring them back so that he could make oyster sauce by himself.

"When you go fishing that day, take the time to ask Senior Xiaoyao if there is any sea nearby."

Thinking of the sea, Li Heng naturally thought of seafood, crabs, squid, shrimps...

A series of seafood terms passed before my eyes, and I couldn't remember how long it had been since I had eaten seafood.

"Uncle Li Heng, look in the pot, it's going to be mushy!"

Li Heng's seafood fantasy was broken by Zhou Xing's merciless exclamation, and then he realized that he was cooking.

"Sorry, I just thought of other things."

Li Heng explained.

"Brother Li Heng, you must have been thinking about something delicious just now. I even saw you swallowing your saliva."

Lu Xiaoxiao said that she had already seen through Brother Li Heng.

"Only you can see, what's wrong? You don't allow us to imagine it even if we can't eat it!"

Li Heng glared at Lu Xiaoxiao and signaled her not to talk too much.

"Slightly~"

Lu Xiaoxiao was unmoved and even made a face at Li Heng.

While Li Heng was talking to Lu Xiaoxiao, he quickly poured the fried tofu cubes into the pot, stir-fried over high heat, and cooked the tofu into the flavor.

Add half a spoonful of Li Heng's homemade potato starch solution to thicken the soup, and stir the pot constantly to make the soup thicker.

Finally, pour in a little oil (referring to rapeseed oil boiled after adding scallions, onions, coriander, star anise and other seasonings) to increase the luster of the dishes and make the taste of the dishes more intense.

"Hehe, brother Li Heng, I'm a little hungry. Can you let me try a piece first?"

As soon as the braised tofu with green onion was put on the plate, Lu's tiny chopsticks were stretched out.

"Don't think about it. There are two more dishes left. Let's eat them together when I finish frying them."

Li Heng waved his hand and put the plate into the ring, completely eliminating the possibility of being eaten by the little deer thief.

"Hmph, brother Li Heng, you stingy man, what's wrong with me trying a piece!"

Lu Xiaoxiao clutched her chopsticks and stared angrily at Li Heng's back, her teeth clenching.
