Chapter 57 Buying twice-cooked pork ingredients(1/2)
Twice-cooked pork, Li You was excited again.
This is a traditional classic dish in Sichuan cuisine.
In Sichuan cuisine, Jianghu has a very high status.
It is even called the leader of Sichuan cuisine and the incarnation of Sichuan cuisine.
Its popularity is higher than Mapo Tofu.
It is not only a very common home-cooked dish, but also a famous Sichuan dish that is famous throughout the country.
It’s twice-cooked pork, not fat-cooked pork.
The so-called "reheating" means that during the cooking process of this dish, after the meat is taken out of the pot for the first time, it has to be returned to the pot for a second cooking.
Twice-cooked pork can be paired with different side dishes.
Mainly include garlic sprouts, green peppers, lotus seeds, onions, etc.
The side dishes are different and the taste is slightly different.
Li You likes twice-cooked pork very much. Except for twice-cooked pork with onions, he also likes to eat twice-cooked pork with other side dishes.
His technique of frying twice-cooked pork is very good.
However, it is still far from the top.
But now, he is about to have the most advanced twice-cooked pork technology.
Learn now.
Soon, all the techniques and knowledge about twice-cooked pork were already in my mind.
"Recipe: twice-cooked pork.
Required ingredients: Erdao Pork, garlic sprouts (green pepper, lotus root, onion optional), bean paste, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, etc."
Looking at the twice-cooked pork recipe, Li You felt happy.
From now on, the hotel has added two new dishes.
The main quest rewards this time are so exciting!
Looking forward to triggering new main quests.
"Boss, I want to eat. One boiled cabbage and a small bowl of Yangchun noodles." Ye Shengge said.
Li You nodded, "Okay, I'll be fine soon."
Then walk into the kitchen.
After some operations, he brought boiled cabbage and a small bowl of Yangchun noodles to Ye Shengge.
Ye Shengge starts eating.
After eating for a while, he said: "Boss, when will you introduce the next new dish?"
Li You said: "It's almost time. I'll go to the town market early tomorrow morning to check out the ingredients. If there are suitable ingredients, I can launch a new meal, or two, tomorrow."
"Really?" Ye Shengge was quite surprised, "Which two are they?"
Li You said: "Ma Po Tofu and twice-cooked pork."
Ye Shengge was even more surprised after hearing this, "Both of these dishes are delicious. However, it is not easy to make Mapo Tofu well. I have eaten Mapo Tofu in many places before, but there is only one place that I think is good."
Eat. Of course, the mapo tofu made by the boss will definitely be quite delicious."
Li You smiled and said: "Probably."
Ye Shengge said: "It must be. By the way, there is no market in town tomorrow! Are there any ingredients for sale?"
Li You nodded, "Yes. When there is no market, some basic ingredients are also sold. You can buy meat, tofu, etc. It's just that the quantity is small, not as much as during the market."
So that’s it.
Ye Shengge nodded and said, "Boss, tell me when you go to the market tomorrow, and I will go with you. I want to take a look."
Li You nodded, "Okay! I'll contact you tomorrow morning."
"Okay!"
Ye Shengge chatted with Li You while eating.
After eating slowly, scan the QR code to pay.
177 yuan.
"Boss, I'm going to town first. Remember to contact me tomorrow morning!"
"Okay. Slow down and pay attention to safety."
"Okay!"
Ye Shengge arrived at the parking lot and drove away.
……
The next day.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Li You called Ye Shengge and said that he was ready to leave for the town.
Ye Shengge had already gotten up and said that she was ready to go out.
The two people agreed on a meeting place.
Li You got on his motorcycle and set off.
Twenty minutes later, I met Ye Shengge at the market entrance in the town.
Li You parked his motorcycle and said, "Let's go, let's buy tofu first."
Ye Shengge nodded.
Without the fair, there would be far fewer stalls selling tofu than during the fair.
The two of them searched for a while before they saw the first stall selling tofu.
"Ingredients: soft tofu.
Quality: inferior."
There are two main types of tofu.
One is soft tofu.
In the production process of this kind of tofu, gypsum powder is used as a coagulant.
Therefore, it is also called gypsum tofu.
Gypsum tofu has a high water content, a delicate texture, white color, and a very tender texture.
Also called Southern Tofu.
The counterpart is northern tofu.
Northern tofu uses brine as a coagulant.
Therefore, it is also called braised tofu.
The texture of brine tofu is rough, the color is relatively yellow, and the taste is hard.
Therefore, it is also called Lao Doufu.
These two kinds of tofu have different textures and tastes. Each has its own dishes suitable for cooking.
For Mapo Tofu, you need to choose soft tofu.
The tofu at this stall is tender tofu, but unfortunately the quality of the ingredients is inferior.
Li You hopes that the quality of the ingredients used in his restaurant can be at least average or above.
Let’s look at the others.
The two people walked around the market. There were four tofu stalls in total, and three of them sold soft tofu.
It's a pity that the soft tofu from the three companies are all of low quality.
There are still too few choices outside of gatherings.
If there is a market, there will be at least twenty stalls selling tofu.
Why don't you wait until tomorrow when the market is here to take a look?
If you still can't find a mid-quality one tomorrow, you can only wait for the system to drop it, or make it yourself.
While Li You mastered the Mapo Tofu recipe, he also mastered the method of making tofu.
As long as the quality of the raw material soybeans is not too bad, making medium-quality tofu is not a big problem.
See you then.
Unless absolutely necessary, Li You doesn't plan to do it himself.
