"Boss Chen, go and prepare quickly, I'll greet you outside." Seeing that the group of people opposite him were in a trend of being ready to move, Zhang Meng immediately rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was having a big fight.

"Are you alone?" Chen Chong was a little worried, after all, the former was a girl's house.

"Don't worry, Tiantian and the others are coming here. They were all in other places before inquiring about news." Zhang Meng took out his phone and looked at him, "Look, according to their statistics, the lowest score is now repeat customers. 69 points, you only need to get 7 points and be on the list!"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Chen Chong knew that time was tight and he didn't say anything nonsense, so he turned around and returned to the kitchen.

To be honest, there were so many people coming at once, and it would be fake to say that they weren't nervous, especially in front of everyone's scores. Once they make a mistake, they will hardly have a chance to turn things around.

Chen Chong looked at the table next to the stove. There were only all kinds of ingredients for Mapo tofu left and the end was not prepared.

The bowl placed on the window was empty, and the black cat was gone. It was probably after eating, it was time to go to the second floor to rest.

He is not interested in these issues now.

Take out fresh pork from the bag. This pork is half fat and half thin, which is the best ingredient for making meat foam.

Da da da da da

The kitchen knife makes a short and fast sound of chopping meat on the cutting board, neither hurry nor slow, but very regular.

Chopping meat is an extremely simple thing, and there are no technical requirements. Just chop it and there is no large amount of meat.

clatter.

Put down the kitchen knife and immediately heat the oil.

"Now everything is ready, it depends on the cooking effect."

Hold the ear of the pot with your left hand and shake the pot, so that the oil in the pot can be spread out to increase the coverage area. There is no such procedure for stir-frying in the cooking steps of Mapo tofu, so the oil temperature does not need to be too high, and the heat is about 50% hot enough.

While turning the high heat to low heat, Chen Chong poured the minced meat that had just been chopped into a pot and stir-fry and changed color. The process of changing color of the pork is very fast, so the stir-frying spoon must also be quickly turned, and the meat foam must be fried in the shortest time.

The smell of meat has wafted out.

It is worth noting that in the whole Mapo tofu, the meat froth is just a side dish, with a small portion, about one tenth of the weight of the tofu, because its function is only to slightly increase the chewing feeling and meat aroma.

Seeing that the meat foam changed color, Chen Chong quickly added the chopped legendary Douban sauce and fermented black beans, continued to stir-fry, and always kept low heat. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the bean sauce will become bitter and the meat foam will become older and older.

There were already dense footsteps in the front hall, and Zhang Meng seemed to be pouring water for everyone, as if there were still the voices of Lin Tiantian and others.

Chen Chong calmed down and adjusted his breathing, so as not to be disturbed by the sounds outside as much as possible, focused his mind in the pot, and always paid attention to the changes between the ingredients and the seasonings.

Not long after, the originally grayish-white meat foam was dyed with a layer of red oil, just like it was taken out of the brine, shiny and shiny, with no rough texture at all.

Pick up the small bowl with minced ginger and garlic, take the amount according to memory, and then throw it into the pot and stir-fry with the meat until it smells fragrant.

To be honest, when the sauce aroma, meat aroma and garlic aroma are fully combined, the overall taste has soared to a higher level and is very layered.

The tip of my tongue had unconsciously secreted clear saliva and swallowed it again.

The first two words of Mapo Tofu’s Eight Character Proverbs are marijuana and spicy. Although the legendary bean paste contains chili peppers, the spicy taste is not obvious. So when the garlic aroma comes out, Chen Chong appropriately adds some chili noodles and stir-fry evenly. Then, he opens the soup pot next to him and adds the broth that has been carefully processed by the double hanging soup to the meat foam.

Although I had cooked a large pot before, the actual amount needed was very small, so I only had a small bowl and a half bowl of rice.

Replace medium heat and cook for two minutes, and combine all the flavors again over high heat.

"Boss Chen, how long will it take?" Zhang Meng stood at the kitchen door and asked in a panic look.

"It's going to be fine soon, what's wrong outside?" Chen Chong noticed that the former was in a bad state and could vaguely hear a fierce quarrel in the front hall, but the range hood was loud and it was completely unaware.

"It's nothing, it's just Huang Yunfei's question because of the dishes

The problem started arguing with Wang Xiongxin and Zhou Fei." Zhang Meng wiped the back of her hand and wanted to say something else, but someone called him away.

Chen Chong was silent for a moment. The only thing he could do at this time was to calm down and prepare every dish well. As for other things, he could only leave them to Wang Xiongxin and others for the time being.

After quickly removing the soup pot and changing into the steamer containing five-color glutinous rice, two minutes have passed.

Chen Chong took the fried spoon and flipped it. The broth and red oil were combined very evenly, which was enough.

Drain the excess water from the tofu in the pot and cook, and keep it low heat.

The most important thing when cooking Mapo tofu is the heat. In addition to hot oil at the beginning, it is basically low in the later stage. Otherwise, not only will the soup be easily fried, but even the tofu is easily cooked.

Then add a small spoonful of soy sauce and mix it with a stir-frying spoon and gently turn it.

"If you can master the skillful hands, you can do nothing to fry the spoon at this time, and just use the most appropriate strength and skills to flip the pot. The effect is much better than now."

Chen Chong shook his head and gradually realized the importance of skillful hands. It was just that this thing needed 10,000 doom value to be redeemed and he had no chance of getting along with him for the time being.

Taking advantage of the short space, prepare a bowl of water starch, that is, starch with water. This step is called thickening, which can make the tofu taste better and taste better!

However, unlike other dishes that pour all the water starch into one go, Mapo tofu needs to be divided into three times. After each addition, you must grab the ears and shake the pot and blend it.

This is because the water starch is too sticky and the tofu is too tender. Tools such as a fried spoon cannot melt it fully, but will destroy the texture of the tofu and have the opposite effect.

Finally, put the prepared garlic sprouts into a pot and stir-fry evenly with the tofu, then directly leave the pot and put it on a plate, and then slowly sprinkle the crushed pepper noodles on the tofu.

An authentic Mapo tofu is finished!

Chen Chong wiped the edge of the plate decorated with green bamboo, revealing a trace of originality, and then looked at the light, with yellow and red, just like the afterglow of the sunset that put a thin silk scarf on the tofu, but it could not cover the green on the plate, which was beautiful.

The unique fragrance of garlic seedlings shuttles back and forth between the numb and spicy fragrance, cheering and teasing the taste nerves.

Chen Chong smiled foolishly, subconsciously picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth.

hiss.

Very hot!

He sucked the cold air hard, and the high temperature made his tongue active in an instant. He felt the rapid change of flavor in the sauce. It was both numb and spicy. It had not been savored carefully, but was crushed by the aroma of meat and garlic. He couldn't help but chewing it. The tofu was q-fu and tender, jumping in his mouth, like a living creature full of vitality!

"Macao, spicy, fresh, tender, hot, fragrant, crispy, lively. The eight-character proverb of authentic Mapo tofu is not bad at all!"

This dish is perfect!
Chapter completed!
