God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

Chapter 467: Is preserved egg meat or vegetarian?

"Snapped!"

The moment the preserved egg touched the chopping board, it broke into four petals, falling in four different directions, like a blooming flower.

Once the main ingredients are prepared, the next step is to prepare the sauce.

Li Heng peeled a few garlic cloves, smashed them with a knife, and then chopped them into minced garlic.

He took out another piece of ginger and was about to cut it into pieces when Xiao Chi's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Brother Li Heng, what I'm saying is, does this dish have to have ginger in it?"

Xiao Chi asked with a bitter face. She was originally watching Li Heng's operation from the side and was watching it very well.

It wasn't until Li Heng took out the ginger that her painful memories were brought back.

"Uh, okay! Actually it doesn't matter if you don't put it down."

Li Heng met Xiao Chi's pitiful look and immediately changed his mind.

Put away the ginger and cut some chili peppers instead.

Take out a bowl and add minced garlic and chili segments.

Heat some oil in a pan and pour into the bowl to bring out the flavors of chili and garlic.

Then continue seasoning by adding a spoonful of salt, two spoonfuls of soy sauce, and half a spoonful of sesame oil.

Use chopsticks to stir the sauce evenly, then pour it over the sliced ​​preserved eggs. The cold preserved eggs are ready.

Sweetened preserved eggs, delicious! ( ?? w ?? )?

"Brother Li Heng, I want to..."

Pouring the boiling hot sauce on the preserved eggs not only brings out its unique aroma, but also arouses the appetite in the little red egg.

"No, you don't want anything!"

Li Heng covered Xiao Chi's mouth with his hand and put the plate away before she could finish her words.

"Hate it! What's wrong with letting others try a piece first?"

After Xiao Chi broke free from Li Heng's big hand, he said angrily, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Tsk! How could I not know you!"

“After you finish the first piece, you’ll want the second, and the third, and finally, as you keep tasting, the plate will be empty.”

Li Heng was unmoved, because this kind of thing had happened before, more than once.

"Okay! Just wait a moment, and we'll have dinner after we cook one more dish."

While Li Heng was thinking about what to make for the second dish, he was trying to comfort the two agitated little ones.

How could a single cold dish possibly satisfy the appetites of a dozen foodies?

It is necessary to make another whole dish.

After much thought, Li Heng decided to use preserved eggs as the main ingredient for the second dish.

But if you add some fried green peppers with preserved eggs, it would feel a bit too monotonous.

So Li Heng searched through the ring again, trying to find some inspiration.

When he opened his eyes again, there were two pieces of tofu in his hands. This was the 'inspiration' he was looking for.

The reason they thought of tofu was because they had just eaten milk tofu in the afternoon.

Li Heng also felt that they had not eaten tofu-related dishes for a long time.

So he decided decisively to make the second dish, century egg and tofu soup.

Li Heng took out a few more preserved eggs, peeled them in the same way as before, and put them in a bowl for later use.

Then take out a handful of green onions and cut the white part and green part into sections respectively.

He was about to cut some more ginger, but he found that the snack was staring at him, so he decided not to cut it for the time being.

Boil water in a pot directly, then add a spoonful of salt. After the water boils, put two pieces of tofu in it and blanch them.

In addition to removing the bean smell of tofu, this process can also make the tofu more "firm", easier to cut, and will not break at the slightest touch.

After blanching the tofu for one minute, take it out and let it cool down a bit, then cut it into pieces slightly larger than dice.

Next, Li Heng also plans to add some vegetables to the soup, which will not only add color but also enrich the taste of the century egg and tofu soup.

Originally he was planning to add a handful of green vegetables, but the Fire Spirit Fruit he saw by chance suddenly made him change his mind.

Li Heng still remembered that the dozen or so fire spirit fruits in the ring were given to him by a kind-hearted owner of a spirit field when he was visiting the spirit field with Sister Hua.

Thinking back to the Fire Spirit Fruit, its sour and spicy taste, although not very good when eaten raw, is perfect for stewing soup.

Thinking of this, Li Heng put away the washed vegetables, washed the four fire spirit fruits, and cut them into dices for later use.

After all the ingredients are prepared, pour some oil into the pan. You don’t need too much, just one spoonful is enough.

While the oil is still hot, quickly add the whole, peeled preserved eggs.

Then, while frying the preserved eggs in oil, use a spatula to mash them into small pieces that are similar in size to the cut tofu cubes.

The preserved egg soup cooked in this way will be whiter in color and taste more fragrant.

Use medium-low heat to slowly fry the chopped century egg in the pan until the surface turns golden brown, then add the scallion.

"Xiao Chi, who's coming to the door?"

Li Heng pointed at the empty kitchen door, and while Xiao Chi was looking back, he quickly took out a handful of minced ginger and added it to the pot.

"Who is coming? Brother Li Heng, did you see wrong?"

Xiao Chi looked towards the door for a long time but didn't see anyone.

"Oh~ My silly Xiao Chi! I was fooled by Brother Li Heng so easily again."

Lu Xiaoxiao held her forehead with her hand, shook her head repeatedly, and complained silently in her heart, this is too easy to fool!

Li Heng naturally couldn't hear Lu Xiaoxiao's inner monologue.

He first fried the preserved eggs in the pot, and then added boiling water into the pot.

The purpose of adding boiling water is also to make the final soup whiter.

After adding the water, turn on high heat to boil the pot, then continue to cook for one minute to better bring out the aroma of the preserved egg.

At this time, you can see that the soup in the pot has changed from clear and transparent to gradually white.

Next, add the chopped tofu cubes, keep the heat on high and wait for the pot to boil again.

During this time, you should constantly stir the tofu and preserved eggs in the pot with a spoon so that they can be heated evenly.

Because this soup dish is meant to taste its original flavor, there is no need to add too many seasonings in the final seasoning stage.

Just add the right amount of salt and a pinch of pepper.

As for the side dish prepared earlier, diced fire spirit fruit, it is added in the last two minutes before serving.

Then cook it until it is cooked through and then you can serve it.

Before serving, don’t forget to sprinkle some chopped green onions on top.

The soup just out of the pot is as white as milk and full of fragrance.

Whether you drink it directly or mix it with rice, it is a good choice.

"Brother Li Heng, are these two dishes for today's dinner?"

After Li Heng finished his work, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! Don't you think it's not enough? If so, I will only make one dish next time."

"It's not that I complain about the lack of food. I just want to say that today's meal is a bit too vegetarian! There is no meat in either dish."

Lu Xiaoxiao waved her hands and explained that although century eggs were delicious, in her heart, they could not compare to big fish and meat.

"Do you have any common sense? Isn't preserved egg considered a meat dish?"

Li Heng said unhappily, and then the two of them took advantage of this topic to start asking endless questions.

"Pickle eggs, do they count?"

"Doesn't it count?"

"Does it count?"

"..."
