Taking Li Xiao to the employee-only area on the second floor of the canteen, Director Liu introduced Li Xiao to the situation of the base while asking about Li Xiao's current occupation.
"Are you working as... a food anchor now? You don't mind letting me see how it works while we're having dinner, right?"
"Of course not." Li Xiao nodded and followed Director Liu, "I just hope you don't mind me filming here."
"No, no, this is not a confidential place!"
With a generous smile, Director Liu took Li Xiao to his seat.
Li Xiao smiled and turned on the camera under the curious eyes of the other party.
"Hello, audience friends, we are sitting in the canteen of the Panda Base now... For some special reasons, the place we are in now is the staff canteen, and we will taste the set menu from the Panda House later."
"This is Director Liu, from the Real Estate Department of Panda Base."
Director Liu smiled lightly and nodded towards the camera, obviously not used to the camera.
Director Liu went to the window to get his set meal, asked the chef to make a set meal for Li Xiao, and then took his lunch and sat down somewhere where it would not interfere with Li Xiao's live broadcast.
A waiter with a sweet smile presented the first dish.
It's a simple mushroom dish... stir-fried king oyster mushroom.
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by this dish.
"You may not think that this dish is simple, but these two kinds of mushrooms are from our panda base and are native products of the ecological protection area. It can be said that you will never feel that your trip was in vain after eating it!" Director Liu introduced next to him!
.
The plump mushroom umbrellas were facing upward, standing one by one in a heap of hand-torn king oyster mushrooms.
The method of shredding king oyster mushrooms is very simple. Boil a pot of water, wash the king oyster mushrooms and steam them for about fifteen minutes. While steaming the king oyster mushrooms, prepare the sauce: light soy sauce, vinegar, white sugar, and millet.
Chili, chopped chives, use oil and stir evenly.
After steaming, let the king oyster mushrooms cool, tear them into thin strips, pour in the sauce and stir evenly.
The mushrooms are made by cutting off the bottom leaving only the tender caps, adding light soy sauce, salt and oil to the pot, and stir-frying them with the king oyster mushrooms before taking them out of the pot.
"This is a home-cooked stir-fry, right?"
Picking up a piece of soft mushroom with chopsticks and sniffing it gently, Li Xiao nodded:
“It smells delicious, but I don’t know how it tastes.”
Putting the small umbrella cover into his mouth, Li Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
“It feels like my mother cooking at home!”
Pick up a piece of King Oyster Mushroom, and the sauce will spray out in your mouth the moment you eat it.
"The sauce used to prepare king oyster mushrooms has a strong flavor and goes well with rice." Li Xiao said with satisfaction after taking a big mouthful of white rice.
"When you take one bite of the mushrooms, thick hot juice will overflow from inside. Chew them together with the sauce. The more you eat, the more delicious they become."
"The mycelium of King Oyster Mushroom tastes very fibrous, and combined with the salty taste, chewing it gives the illusion of eating fried skewers."
While tasting, Li Xiao took three more mouthfuls of rice.
"Young people have a good appetite." Looking at Li Xiao's heroic eating posture, Director Liu couldn't help but speed up his eating pace.
"This dish can be given 80 points." Li Xiao put down his chopsticks and commented.
Studio:
“I understand, I’ll ask mom to make me a stir-fried king oyster mushroom!”
"Upstairs, is this a slap in the face? It's really unheard of and unseen!"
"It's said to be produced by the Panda Base. Does that mean we're all here and eating together?"
"Is the one upstairs also from Twenty-Four Flavors? Look at the weight and the previous one, which cost more than 100 yuan. The price/performance ratio here is much higher!"
"Upstairs, when I went to eat with my family in the past, it was a set meal at 888."
“But you can see pandas here! It’s a good deal!”
Li Xiao nodded and waited for the waiter to bring the next dish.
On a white plate painted with emerald green bamboo, black and white square "dumplings" trembled slightly with the steps of the young lady.
How are the black and white tofu made?
A wire net is set up under the wooden frame, and lard boards, semi-finished black tofu made from black beans, lard boards, semi-finished white tofu made from soybeans, and lard boards are placed on the wire at one time... in order to form "
Thousand layer tofu", at this time the wooden frame becomes something similar to a steamer.
Grill it over charcoal fire. Place a plate with Mapo sauce under the wooden frame and place it on bamboo leaves. After baking, quickly lift up the wooden frame, and the black and white tofu cut by the wire mesh will be freshly baked. At this time, the bamboo leaves are pulled out.
Let's go, the black and white mapo tofu is done.
It's simple to say, but not so easy to do.
Looking at the black and white tofu of different sizes on this plate, you can deduce that the chef used ingredients unevenly during processing.
Li Xiao leaned forward, lowered his head and sniffed carefully.
Sure enough, it was not his imagination, there was a faint smell of squid ink in this dish.
"The chef probably added squid ink to this black and white mapo tofu to make it more appetizing."
"Many people may think that squid ink is inedible. In fact, this concept is wrong. For example, right now, we have a plate of dishes with squid ink in front of us."
"Smells it, this Mapo Tofu has a slight sweetness."
Use a spoon to scoop up a piece of black tofu. The plump figure of the bouncy tofu sways as Li Xiao shakes.
"Although the appearance of tofu varies in size, the final product is still very pleasing."
"The first thing I feel after entering the mouth is sweetness. It should be because I added a little brown sugar to alleviate the spiciness."
“The chef’s approach is very friendly and considers people who may not normally eat spicy food.”
"While the sweetness spreads in the mouth, the squid juice flows in the mouth with a very strong presence..."
"It has a slightly salty, yet fragrant taste."
“After the sweetness, there’s the numbness and spiciness brought by the mapo sauce.”
"The salty aroma extracted from the sesame oil combined with the softness of the tofu, and the thick mapo sauce bring the deliciousness to a new level."
"hiss……"
The spiciness made Li Xiao take a deep breath, and couldn't help but take another big mouthful of rice.
"Unlike ordinary tofu, tofu made from black beans also has an alternative bean aroma."
"Combined with the sweet white tofu, one black and one white, one sweet and one fragrant, it's like pandas with different personalities dancing in your mouth."
"The delicious food comes with a unique way of cooking. This chef's cooking skills are impressive and his cooking methods are heart-warming. It's really good."
Li Xiao savored the sweetness of the taste and commented approvingly: "This dish can get a high score of 95 points!"
