Next, Li Xiao turned his attention to the plate of grilled tofu on the plate.
Although it's called grilled tofu, it's actually fried tofu.
And this tofu is no ordinary tofu.
This is hairy tofu.
Hairy tofu is also called moldy tofu because there is a large area of moldy-looking mycelium growing on the surface.
Because of its special taste, some people call it "stinky tofu."
This special flavor is not something everyone can enjoy.
However, it is precisely because of the different "hair" between edamame tofu and ordinary tofu that fermented edamame tofu often has a special umami flavor.
Yunnan people like to use it to cook cabbage.
This tofu is made from fried tofu in hot oil.
Li Xiao picked up a piece with chopsticks and said to the audience in front of the live broadcast room: "Has anyone ever eaten hairy tofu?"
"In some areas of our country, tofu is made into fermented and hairy tofu, but this kind of tofu is not acceptable to everyone."
"There used to be a food program that introduced all kinds of weird foods from all over the world."
“One of these issues introduced hairy tofu.”
"I was watching that show at the time, and many viewers asked how could we eat such moldy food?"
The barrage was also lively at this moment, and netizens spoke enthusiastically.
"Isn't the anchor talking about our Huangshan hairy tofu?"
"Huangshan people are passing by, and we do have this kind of tofu here."
"You can see this kind of hairy tofu everywhere in the streets and alleys here, and my grandpa likes to eat this kind of hairy tofu."
"Wow, I really learned a lot. How come people still eat tofu that has hair on it?"
"I don't dare to eat it anyway, the tofu is moldy."
"This is not mold, this is called fermentation."
"When the tofu is fermented, there are strict controls at all levels. Only specific strains of bacteria can grow on the tofu."
"And this tofu has been fermented, and the plant protein in it is converted into a variety of amino acids, which makes it taste very delicious."
"I can't tell you people clearly. You will know after you try it."
"Even though I heard what you said, I still don't dare to eat it."
"I won't eat it anyway."
"Let the anchor test it first to see if it's poisonous."
"What are you talking about? The anchor dares to eat Yunnan wild mushrooms."
"Is it possible that the anchor is afraid of a mere plate of hairy tofu?"
"Speaking of wild mushrooms, I bought some after watching the anchor's live broadcast. They are so delicious. I recommend you to try them too."
"Wow, you are such a cruel person, aren't you afraid of being disturbed by fungi?"
"Anyway, the anchor has eaten it, so why shouldn't I eat it?"
"I'm telling you, the smell is simply..."
"This should be like people eating puffer fish. They know it's poisonous, but they still try it for the delicious taste."
Of course Li Xiao would not be afraid of this mere plate of hairy tofu.
After all, he has the ability of a poison connoisseur and can identify whether food is poisonous and how much poison it contains.
Not to mention that the food itself is not poisonous, even if someone poisoned it, Li Xiao would be able to tell it easily.
Li Xiao picked up a piece of fried tofu.
The fried tofu is golden and crispy on the outside, and when dipped in some chili noodles on the small plate, it smells like a special smell of fermented tofu, mixed with the aroma of the chili noodles, making people want to take a bite.
Li Xiao took a bite of the tofu.
The skin is crispy but not hard at all.
The texture is a bit like peach cake, but this peach cake tastes like moldy tofu.
It is spicy and spicy in the mouth, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside. The odor of tofu and the umami flavor are intertwined, making you endless aftertaste.
"Since we are here to taste delicious food, we should relax our mentality and don't always be afraid of this and that."
While eating the tofu in his mouth, Li Xiao said to the audience and friends in the live broadcast room, "Think about it, if this thing is really poisonous, will restaurants still sell it?"
"Since he dares to open a store to sell these things, he must have a way to remove the toxicity in it."
"For example, the pufferfish and wild mushrooms you mentioned are not poisonous as long as they are cooked properly."
"Also, this hairy tofu, although it looks moldy on the outside, it smells delicious after being deep-fried."
"People who are not used to it may think it is a bad smell. But this is the unique flavor of hairy tofu."
"Do you think if this thing was really poisonous, would anyone eat it?"
Li Xiao finished eating a piece of tofu with satisfaction and said to the fans in the live broadcast room.
"Oh, these people are just bullies."
"There are so many things. In fact, it's just that I can't pass the test in my heart."
"A lot of things are like this. If you can eat it, it will be delicious. If you can't eat it, you will be put off."
"For example, the wild mushrooms from Yunnan are really delicious."
"Why should you care so much about life in this world? If others can eat it, then I can eat it too."
"I always look after Gu Na, but I miss a lot of delicious food."
"Wow, what I said earlier seems to make sense."
"How about I give you a piece of hairy tofu first?"
Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, and then extended his chopsticks to another dish.
Pearl tofu dumplings.
Tofu and meat sauce are stirred together, seasonings are added, and made into round balls.
The outer surface of the meatballs is a layer of glutinous rice. Since the tofu and rice are relatively white, they are dotted with some green chopped green onions and red peppers.
These tofu balls were stacked neatly in the steamer, like soldiers waiting for review.
They all had round bellies. When Li Xiao saw this garden, he couldn't help but think of a certain panda that only knew how to eat and sleep.
I wonder if he is awake now?
Pick up a round ball and put it in your mouth.
The fragrance of glutinous rice, the meaty flavor of meat sauce, the bean flavor of tofu, and a little bit of chopped green onion and chili are all intertwined in this plate.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Take a bite, and the juicy meat sauce and dense tofu will bloom in your mouth.
Since the meatballs are steamed, the original taste of the tofu and meat sauce is what goes down the intestines in one bite. However, they are combined just right and will not steal the limelight of the other at all.
The gravy and tofu combine in the mouth. Although it is light, it still makes people have endless aftertaste.
"This dish is like tofu braised with cabbage. It is very suitable for people who are sick."
"The steaming method retains the original taste of the ingredients, and the aroma is overflowing."
"Moreover, the meatballs have a chewy texture, and the glutinous rice on the outside enriches the taste. After one bite, the meat juice overflows."
"This method is not difficult."
"Tofu and minced meat, add an appropriate amount of salt and MSG, mix well, add an egg, wrap the outer layer with glutinous rice, steam it in a steamer, and the dish is ready. Isn't it very simple?"
"Everyone, go and try it."
The last dish on the table is Midu’s specialty rolled hoof.
This plate of curly hooves looks red, like the color of bacon.
The outermost layer looks like pig skin, and the inside is lean meat.
Although curled hooves are called hooves, they are not pig trotters. They are just a food that looks like pig trotters.
The finished rolled hooves can even be stored for eight or nine months.
On a large plate made of white porcelain, the scrolls were cut into evenly thin slices and arranged in a circle around a red flower in the middle.
Underneath the red flowers are some chopped green onions and coriander.
Obviously this is a cold dish.
But because the food arrived relatively late, Li Xiao has not tasted it until now.
Li Xiao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Wow, the taste of this rolled hoof is fresh, tender, sour and fragrant. It is very suitable for drinking."
Li Xiao sighed, picked up a piece again and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.
"The appearance of this curled hoof is more elastic and tough."
"The lean meat inside doesn't taste good. Hey, what are these white parts?"
Li Xiao chewed the food in his mouth carefully, analyzing what ingredients and techniques the food was made of.
"It turns out to be radish and rice noodles."
Li Xiao said with enlightenment.
There is never a time when the barrage is not lively.
"Wow, is there any food that the host hasn't seen before?"
"It seems that this is the first time for the anchor to eat this."
"This thing has to be a bit like a special food here. I forgot the name, but that one is made of pig belly wrapped with other foods."
"It looks a bit similar, I thought it was the same thing."
"Didn't the anchor say it at the beginning? This is Midu's characteristic."
"How can it be exactly the same?"
"I feel that putting radish and rice noodles into this kind of meat product is a bit incomprehensible."
"Hey, respect the customs of various places. Besides, this may also be delicious."
"Didn't you hear what the anchor said? It's fresh, sour and fragrant. Food that can get such comments from the anchor must be delicious."
"That's not necessarily true. What if the anchor's taste is different from ours?"
"I think the anchor should have the taste of normal people. For example, if he can't eat Zheergen, I can't eat it either."
"I am a long-time fan of the anchor. I have gone to all the stores where the anchor has checked in before. Every one of them is very, very delicious."
"The same store that the anchor checked in is relatively close to me. I went to try it and it was exactly what the anchor said."
"Old fans all know that the anchor checks in randomly, and the anchor never accepts advertisements."
"I remember when I first started as an anchor, I went to a soymilk shop and the food cost only a few yuan. The store's business was very good, but some people actually questioned whether the anchor was advertising."
"The anchor only had a few fans at that time?"
"Yes, yes, I came here because I fell in love with the host's appearance in that episode."
"After all this time, our anchors have become more and more handsome."
“Call my husband every day!”
“My husband is the most handsome!!”
“This curly hoof looks delicious!”
"I think my hand speed is quite fast, but can anyone tell me why I just went to a certain treasure store to look at this product and it was sold out?"
"There are only a few stores selling local specialties, and you bought all the curly hooves there."
"Can you be human and leave some for me?"
"Huhu, luckily I'm quick and I already placed the order decisively while you were still discussing."
Li Xiao's ability to carry goods is simply terrifying.
However, he did not discover this himself.
Otherwise, we have to pay some advertising fees to those stores.
Of course, this was just a joke, after all, Li Xiao is not short of money now.
After tasting all the dishes, Li Xiao started to eat in earnest.
These dishes were all pretty good, but Li Xiao felt that the spicy tofu casserole was the most delicious dish.
Sure enough, the spicy dishes won his heart the most.
After finishing the meal, Li Xiao poured a bowl of soup into the bowl.
Bean soup with pea tips.
Pea tips are fresh and tender pea shoots. Usually, the tenderest part of the tip is picked before the pea shoots bloom.
No fancy cooking methods are required, just rinse it in water and it will be very delicious.
Many people like to order pea tips when eating Sichuan hot pot.
The pea tips are not resistant to cooking, so they only need to be scalded in a pot at will before they are cooked.
After cooking, the pea tips, stems and leaves are tender and delicious.
Boiled with tofu as a soup, the tenderness of the tofu and the sweetness of the pea tips are all gathered in this bowl of soup.
One bowl after the meal, not to mention how satisfying it is.
Since this is a very common home-cooked dish, Li Xiao did not introduce it too much.
However, Midu’s tofu still needs to be praised.
"The tofu here is tender, soft, and has a very delicate texture. I think if you have the opportunity to travel here, you can still try it."
After eating, Li Xiao summarized the meal, "The tofu tastes pretty good, but the overall taste is more home-cooked."
“I don’t recommend that those who like spicy food come here and try it.”
A series of barrages floated over.
"Attention, the anchor here also said that if you have the opportunity to travel here..."
"Obviously we didn't have that chance."
"My mind said he wanted to go to Midu to eat tofu. But my wallet was right, so I said no, I was thinking shit."
"I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't want to eat you, but he doesn't allow me to give you my little money (p′︵‵.)"
"It's just tofu. It's available everywhere. Besides, there are so many delicious restaurants in so many places. There seems to be no need to travel so far just for a meal of tofu."
"A local was passing by and this restaurant was quite close, so I decided to go and meet the anchor."
"I don't think you can meet me by chance. After all, the anchor has finished his meal and is leaving."
"Why didn't you just say you were going to meet by chance?"
"The response is too slow."
"Forget it, forget it, we can't meet the host by chance, we can still go and have a meal of tofu."
"Baby, how many pounds have you gained today?"
"I'm not fat. I refuse to face reality. Get out of my way!"
