The iron pot begins to heat up under the heat of the flame.
The big fat meat squeaked out in the iron pot.
The man controlled the iron spoon and quickly stir-fried the black bean paste and fat pork evenly.
When the big bubbles in the oil pan turned into small bubbles, he sprinkled a small handful of garlic leaves.
Continue to stir-fry quickly until the edges of the garlic leaves turn brown.
Two large handfuls of battered chili peppers are thrown into the pot and continue to stir-fry until the burnt aroma of the chili peppers emerges.
The man tilted the kettle and poured the steaming boiling water into the black iron pot.
The red and brown tempeh in the pot is washed with hot water.
The heat instantly stimulates the aroma of tempeh, the oily aroma of lard, and the burnt aroma of chili.
Several aromas are mixed together, and the oily fragrance suddenly overflows.
·····
After the man walked away, Li Xiao introduced:
“The pot here is very straightforward and pure.”
"It's just water, with the store's secret black bean sauce, fat meat and garlic leaves."
"The juice from the fermented black bean paste is the soup base."
"So whether this hot pot is delicious or not depends entirely on the secret tempeh."
"It is said that every household has a method of making tempeh."
"Let me try this black bean soup first. How do you like it?"
After finishing his words, Li Xiao used a spoon to skim off the thick layer of bright red grease on the iron pot.
The soup base of the black bean hot pot seems a bit cloudy.
Li Xiao put the yellow-brown soup base into his mouth.
He closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while before speaking:
“The taste is very strong, and the combination of black bean and chili is a bit pungent.”
“The flavor of tempeh is very rich.”
"Specially fermented cooked soybeans are added to the pork and stir-fried, with herbs, cinnamon and other spices added in the process."
"It makes the taste very rich and thick."
“The burnt flavor of the battered chili peppers is a bit too strong.”
“So much so that the original rich taste of tempeh is a bit inferior.”
After finishing the soup base, Li Xiao used a spoon to scoop up the black bean sauce from the bottom of the iron pot.
The tempeh is in a very plump state, and you can tell it's very fresh at first glance.
Pick up the tempeh with chopsticks and display it in front of the audience.
“Very fresh tempeh.”
As he said that, the black bean paste was thrown into his mouth.
After fermentation, the fried tempeh breaks into pieces when you bite it, and the rich tempeh flavor fills your tongue.
The taste of fresh tempeh is completely different from that of dried tempeh.
Fresh tempeh is brown in color, has a soft texture and rich flavor.
The dried tempeh appears black, has a harder overall texture, and has a duller taste.
However, fresh beans are not easy to store, while dried tempeh can be stored for several years.
In Li Xiao's opinion, the disadvantages of sun-dried tempeh far outweigh the advantages.
I may think it is simple, convenient, convenient and durable in most people's eyes.
It is definitely better than the taste and texture.
"It tastes really good. If it weren't for the fact that it's hard to store, I would have wanted to ask the proprietress to buy some as a toothpaste."
·······
Li Xiao didn't have to wait long before the dishes he ordered came out one after another.
The first thing to come was the small crispy pork, fried and crispy.
Immediately afterwards, freshly cut pork and offal were also delivered to the table.
A small folding table was immediately filled to the brim.
The man smiled and reminded:
"Eat the meat first and then the vegetables. It will taste better this way."
"Okay, thanks."
Li Xiao poured all the meat in front of him into the black bean hot pot.
Pork belly, crispy pork, and various meats are constantly tumbling in the iron pot.
The audience in the live broadcast room also waited together.
"By the way, isn't the bottom of this pot the same as the bottom of Lao Ganma's pot?"
"I heard what the big brother upstairs said, is this really the bottom of Lao Ganma's fault?"
“Still the most classic black bean chili!”
“This is really the first time I’ve seen Laoganma hotpot!”
"You just talk nonsense if you don't understand anything! Black bean hot pot is just black bean hot pot, and it has nothing to do with Laoganma hot pot, okay?"
"That's right, this black bean hot pot does not taste like Lao Gan Ma!"
······
"Don't worry, let me take a taste and you will know what it tastes like."
When the bottom of the pot boiled again, Li Xiao couldn't wait to pick up a small piece of crispy pork.
The fried golden crispy meat on the surface has expanded in volume after a few minutes of cooking.
The originally golden shell has also become slightly dull.
When you hold it with chopsticks, the soup will seep out from the skin of the crispy meat.
Li Xiao quickly threw the crispy meat dripping with soup into his mouth.
"Because the surface of the crispy pork is coated with a layer of flour, it absorbs quite a lot of juice."
"When you take a bite, the oily and fragrant soup bursts out from inside."
"Don't eat this with big mouthfuls, because the juice inside will easily burn your tongue."
"The salty aroma of the entire pot is completely sealed in the skin of the crispy meat."
"It's soft on the outside, but very chewy on the inside."
"The taste is very unique and delicious, and the more you chew it, the better it gets."
"It will taste a bit salty when you first eat it, but as you eat it, the taste will become just right."
"very good."
In the live broadcast room:
"This crispy pork looks so delicious, my mouth is watering."
“Juejuezi! Top 1 must-have hot pot dish!!!”
"Is this thing so delicious? I just can't appreciate it. It always feels greasy!"
"If it feels oily, it must be because it was not fried well. The fried crispy pork has no oil at all."
·······
After swallowing the crispy meat in his mouth, Li Xiao gave a thumbs up:
"Not bad, really good. This crispy pork is fried just right and is not greasy at all. Okay, let's go ahead and try the other ones."
Li Xiao picked up a long piece of oil residue.
There is a layer of red oil attached to the fried surface.
One bite, it's fragrant and spicy.
He squinted his eyes and chewed carefully:
“It’s crispy, fragrant, salty, and has a strong aftertaste. Moreover, the oil residue is cut into small pieces, making it easy to chew without being too hard.”
"Some of them are so deep-fried that they can cut off several teeth in one bite."
“But relatively speaking, the crispy pork on the front is more delicious.”
As he spoke, Li Xiao threw another piece of crispy pork filled with soup into his mouth.
After finishing the crispy pork in his mouth, Li Xiao continued to taste different dishes for the audience.
"This large intestine is very clean and has no odor at all."
"It tastes fat and waxy. When you bite into it, you can taste a very sweet taste under the aroma of black bean sauce."
"marvelous."
"The taste of the entire hot pot is very consistent."
"Because the bottom of the hot pot has a very strong flavor, all the side dishes that go into this hot pot taste the same when they come out."
d. The taste of black bean hot pot is quite good, but as Li Xiao ate it, he felt it was a bit salty.
At this moment, his eyes caught sight of an older man at the next table, pouring soup into his rice.
He had a look of astonishment on his face, and felt like he was getting a big bowl of white rice when he entered the store.
Eating hot pot while eating white rice, it was indeed salty and tasted just right.
