Chapter 70 North and South Tofu

Author: round head and round belly

After peeling off ten tofu skins, Li Yi stopped, turned off the fire, and signaled to Wu Lei: "Go to the storage room and get the wooden bucket, and prepare some pulp."

"oh."

Wu Lei responded and went to the storage room to get a bucket.

Zhao Jinmai heard this and asked out of curiosity: "Aren't you going to peel off the soybean skin?"

"No more exposing it, that's enough."

Li Yi took the rack with the fried bean skins on it and took it to the oven at the back. This oven was provided by the sponsor and had a drying function.

Putting the rack in, Li Yi set the drying function and closed the oven door.

Liu Yifei came closer and counted the fried bean curds, a little surprised: "Only ten? Such a big pot of soy milk can only make ten yuba?"

"According to normal practice, you can only do so much."

Li Yi explained: "In a pot of soy milk, the first three pieces of oily skin are the best and have the highest nutritional value. After they are dried, they will show a beautiful golden color.

But if you peel it off after the tenth layer, the oily skin will gradually turn brown, the color will not look good, and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced.

According to the normal production process, 100 kilograms of soy milk will produce at most three kilograms of oily skin.

If you want to continue taking it, you have to add some strengthening agents."

"Strengthening agent? What is that?" Zhao Jinmai was a little surprised.

"A food chemical raw material with the appearance of white powder."

Li Yi explained: “Strengthening agents are mainly compounded from some food-grade raw materials such as emulsifiers, monoglycerides, soybean colloidal enzymes, and complex phosphates.

It can yellow and brighten the yuba, inhibit browning, and increase yield.

After adding a gluten-enhancing agent, it can generally be peeled to about 30 layers, but after adding a gluten-enhancing agent, the soy milk cannot be made into tofu."

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Liu Yifei couldn't help but take a breath: "Does the yuba we usually eat have so many chemical ingredients? It's scary."

In the live show room, the audience was also a little scared.

"Oh my God! What else can be eaten now? There are so many chemical ingredients in even yuba?"

"It's all technology and hard work!"

"It's really scary. Are there any purely natural and green foods nowadays?"

Li Yi also noticed the barrage in the live broadcast room, so he smiled and explained to the camera: "You don't need to be so fussy about food additives. In fact, as long as they are added in accordance with national standards, it will generally not cause any harm to the human body.

Of course, it is best to eat pure natural foods. Pure natural foods contain more comprehensive nutrients and are better absorbed by the human body.

But you have also seen that with such a big pot of soy milk, I can only produce a small amount of yuba.

If all are made according to this process, how low will the yield of yuba be?

As soon as the output decreases, the price will go up. In that case, I'm afraid the yuba will become a luxury product that only rich people can afford."

Liu Yifei looked at the yuba in the oven and sighed: "If a pot of soy milk can only produce so little yuba, it's really a bit of a luxury!"

The audience in the live broadcast room also had mixed emotions when they heard Li Yi's explanation.

“Who doesn’t want to eat green and natural things? But how expensive would that be?”

“You get what you pay for, but how much does my monthly salary cost?”

"I also know that there is no meat in starch sausage, but I can't stand how cheap it is!"

"So why is the gap between rich and poor so big? Rich people eat healthily and their offspring develop better. Isn't that a scorn for the children of poor families like us?"

"Don't blame the rich for everything! It's not easy for the rich to eat healthily. Those things that are labeled green, natural, organic, and healthy are sold more expensive than the other. It's obvious that they are

If you charge an IQ tax, you still have to bite the bullet and buy it for the sake of your children. If you manage to make some money, it will be stolen by profiteers."

"It's still as good as before! It's really hard to eat something healthy now!"

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Li Yi felt a little depressed. He smiled and said: "Don't be disappointed, let's do this! The program team has ordered a batch of beans. When they arrive, I can make some handmade yuba and make waves.

The barrage lottery is for you."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she immediately smiled and raised her hand: "Count me in."

"And me! And me!" Zhao Jinmai also raised his hand to sign up.

After hearing their words, the audience in the live broadcast room also became excited, and the barrage surged.

"Holy shit! Is it true or false?"

“Must support!”

"Your name is Li Yi, right? Okay! I'll remember you. This is a good thing!"

“Wow! The chef is so nice! I’m so excited!”

"Are you embarrassed to give it away? Please link it!"

"Can you take the one upstairs for me?"

"Can you write down who made it? I want it made by my Mai Mai!"

"I want it made by the fairy sister!"

In the satellite car, Wang Tian looked at the surging barrage and couldn't help but smile.

Now it seems that inviting Li Yi to participate in the show was really the right thing to do.

He has skills and program effects, and he also knows how to make the audience happy. He can make the audience excited with just a few words, and the popularity is rising. This is a rare talent that can only be found!

"I'm back!"

In the kitchen, Wu Lei returned to the kitchen carrying two large wooden buckets.

"I saw two, so I brought them both."

He placed the barrel on the ground and flicked his wrist: "Wow! This barrel is so heavy!"

This is a pure wooden bucket that Li Yi asked the program team to customize. It is made of cedar wood.

The wood of cedar is hard, dense and naturally not light in weight.

"Just right, you have to use two buckets."

As Li Yi spoke, he took out a brown glass bottle and a bag of white powder from the cabinet containing seasonings.

Wu Lei looked at it curiously and asked, "Brother Yi, what is this?"

Li Yi put the two things on the operating table and explained casually: "The glass bottle is salt brine, also called brine, and the bag is gypsum powder."

"I know! What does that idiom say?"

Wu Lei thought for a while, then patted his head: "Brine and some tofu, one thing will bring down another thing, right?"

"Every elementary school student knows this."

Zhao Jinmai laughed and teased.

Liu Yifei pointed to the gypsum powder: "The tofu in my hometown is made of gypsum. Aren't the tofus made from these two things different?"

"Of course it's different."

Li Yi picked up the gypsum powder and explained: "Tofu made by traditional techniques is divided into southern tofu and northern tofu. Southern tofu is tofu made of gypsum.

Nan tofu has a higher water content, more uniform texture, soft and delicate texture, and white color, so it is also called soft tofu.

Silk tofu is more suitable for grilling and making tofu soup. Don’t you want to eat Mapo tofu? Mapo tofu must be made with soft tofu.”

As he spoke, Li Yi picked up the brown glass bottle again and explained: "Bei Tofu is tofu made with this kind of salt brine. It is also called brine tofu, or old tofu.

The texture of old tofu is harder, more granular, with many small holes on the surface, and the bean flavor is stronger.

This kind of old tofu is more suitable for cooking, stir-frying, frying, stuffing, or carving, as its shape will remain relatively complete."

After Zhao Jinmai heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "What I sell over there is northern tofu. Someone sells it on a cart on the street. Cut it into a piece and don't put any seasonings. It's delicious even if you eat it with your mouth!"
