141. The unpalatable [West Lake Vinegar Fish] and [Crab Roe Tofu]
Li Xiaozheng was about to pursue the victory and build up his glorious and majestic image.
The door was pushed open, as if this was not a restaurant but a hotel.
If the door is pushed open like this, it is likely that someone is here to arrest someone.
The old lady who was playing with scissors from before appeared at the door, holding a tray.
The last two dishes came together.
[West Lake Vinegar Fish] and [Crab Roe Tofu].
As the last dishes were served, everyone's conversation slowly stopped.
Li Xiao saw the [West Lake Vinegar Fish] turned in front of him, and his hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
This is the legendary [West Lake Vinegar Fish] that has never been praised???!!
Looking at the expectant looks from everyone, Li Xiao swallowed.
Please, why do you people look like this?
I am a food anchor, not a food guinea pig.
However, when the dishes are all in front of me, if I don't pick up a piece of fish, I'm afraid the thought power of several people concentrated on the turntable will not be able to take it back.
It doesn’t seem good to be too tense, right?
Li Xiao picked up the chopsticks with strong will and picked up a small piece of fish.
The fish meat is dipped in the dark brown sauce, exuding wisps of heat.
The sweet and sour taste hits your face, and there is a slight fishy smell from the fish, which is not very strong and is within the acceptable range.
When the fish meat entered their mouths, everyone, especially the three Hangzhou locals, held their breath.
Everyone is waiting for Li Xiao's evaluation.
The fishy smell, which was not strong at first, suddenly became strong after Li Xiao bit into the fish meat.
Li Xiao had only smelled a fishy smell of this concentration when he went to play at his second uncle's house.
In addition to the strong fishy and earthy smell, the sauce also tastes very strange.
Vinegar is good if you can eat it, but it seems that the chef forgot to add sugar when cooking.
The sauce has only sour taste but no other taste.
Salty, sweet, almost completely absent.
In summary, the sour, fishy and earthy smell are all the flavors of this West Lake vinegar fish.
If I want to be more succinct, it is, unpalatable, very unpalatable, extremely unpalatable.
Li Xiao used more than 20 years of education to suppress the urge to spit it out and reluctantly swallowed the fish meat.
He waved his hands to everyone,
"I can't eat this, so I'd better try the [Crab Roe Tofu]."
Now that we have become white mice, we can do two things without doing one thing. We can eat both ourselves and both of them.
The golden spoon scoops up the orange-yellow crab roe on top and the tender white tofu on the bottom.
Overflowing with aroma!!!
Wait, this word seems to have been used many times in "楼内楼"?
Forget it, never mind, no one will notice anyway.
Li Xiao licked his trembling lips, and the movements of his hands were very measured.
A small mouthful of crab roe and a small mouthful of soft tofu.
Even if the worst happens, he can swallow it without hesitation.
Crab roe and tofu.
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment. The tofu was very smooth and moist, with a sticky sauce. Before he could react, the tofu slid deep into his throat.
The deliciousness of crab roe, the sweetness of mashed carrots, the crunchy texture and salty flavor of salted egg yolk are perfectly blended together.
Li Xiao swallowed the chewed crab roe and unconsciously licked his lips, which were still stained with salted egg yolk.
He thought about it carefully and then said to everyone
"95 points. This crab roe tofu has 95 points. It's really good."
95 points? Wait, what is the full score?
Isn't it a 200-point scale?
Everyone is a little scared by the ups and downs of [Lou Nei Lou]’s productions.
However, when everyone saw Li Xiao taking Jiang Yingxue's bowl and filling it with a large bowl of crab roe tofu.
I immediately understood that the 95-point evaluation Li Xiao mentioned should be on a 100-point scale.
Everyone moved their spoons one after another, and then everyone had expressions of surprise on their faces.
There are actually two ways to make crab roe tofu, one is vegetarian crab roe tofu, and the other is meat crab roe tofu. The serious one is meat and meat!!!
Cut lactone [zhi] tofu into three parts, set aside two parts and crush one part into puree.
Potatoes and carrots are steamed and mashed.
Chop shiitake mushrooms and fresh ginger into small pieces,
Heat the oil in a pan over low heat. When it is about 70 to 80% hot, add the ginger paste and stir-fry.
When the ginger paste begins to change color, add chopped mushrooms, mashed potatoes, mashed carrots, and mashed tofu. Fry the paste over low heat until it turns orange, and sprinkle in salt and sugar.
Add water and boil,
Boil water in another pot, add lactone tofu cut into small cubes, boil for one minute, remove and drain.
Put the cooked tofu into the pan, reduce the juice over high heat, add a little thin gravy, and then sprinkle with chopped green onion.
This vegetarian crab roe tofu does not use any crab roe or meat.
However, the texture and taste of the crab roe tofu produced are the same as real crab roe.
Among all the vegetarian dishes, it can be regarded as a very good dish.
Sometimes simple vegetarian dishes are just like the refusal and welcome when we first met. Although the communication only stays on the surface and never goes in depth, it is often more memorable than the meat dishes with big fish and meat.
However, the [Crab Roe Tofu] at [Lou Nei Lou] is obviously the latter.
Moreover, it is an improved non-vegetarian [Crab Roe Tofu]. Based on the original lactone tofu and crab roe, it uses carrots that are only found in the vegetarian [Crab Roe Tofu] and also adds extremely high-quality salted egg yolk.
.
Simply delicious.
The rich meat protein of crab roe and salted egg yolk and the soy protein of tofu are perfectly combined in one dish.
Tofu and carrots greatly reduce the greasiness caused by crab roe and salted egg yolk.
The carrots also bring the sweetness of the whole dish up a notch, making it a very good combination of salty, sweet and fresh.
The rich crab roe and salted egg yolk turn the originally bland tofu into one that is endlessly delicious.
Liu licked his lips hurriedly and said in surprise
"Here I go, this tofu is good, it's smooth and tender enough, and the crab roe is fragrant enough."
He has spent a lot of time socializing with his boss and customer service, and has been to many good restaurants.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes such as [Crab Roe Tofu] are certainly eaten near Hangzhou.
But to be honest, he has never eaten such a delicious dish [Crab Roe Tofu].
Wen Li also nodded, "Crab Roe Tofu" is a dish that her mother often makes.
However, most of the time I make a simplified version of vegetarian [Crab Roe Tofu]. After all, the work of removing crab roe and crab meat is a bit too cumbersome for families.
The 8 people chatted while eating, and the lunch ended quickly.
