Chapter 1856 (1/2)
”Wensi tofu, oh? Someone finally ordered this dish.” If you hear the name of caizhou, you will feel sad.
Since Yuanzhou mastered the complete Huaiyang dish, he has been waiting for this dish. Unexpectedly, a group of foreigners will order it in the end.
Wensi tofu is a traditional famous dish in Huaiyang. It was created by Wensi monk, a monk in Yangzhou during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
Now many people introduce this dish. In order to highlight the knife work, they will erase this history. The reason why it is called Wensi is that the shredded tofu springs out like Wensi, which is very vivid.
But in fact, it's not so complicated. Wensi is a person's name, which is clearly recorded in history. Yu Yue of the Qing Dynasty wrote ”tea room cluster notes”: ”Wensi has the word Xifu, works poetry, and is good at making tofu soup and sweet paste porridge. So far, those who follow its method are called Wensi tofu.”
Monk Wensi not only likes to write and write, but also likes to study food. This Wensi tofu is a masterpiece of knife work that he has studied for many years.
The system once said that when the time is ripe, it will get celebrity lost dishes, but so far it hasn't been seen. Yuan Zhou wondered whether the system has forgotten it?
Well, it's been more than two years since Yuan Zhou received the Suzhou cuisine, and Yuan Zhou himself forgot about it.
”Angelo, is this dish really OK?” Molly asked with certainty, because Angelo saved the Chinese dish name in her mobile phone when ordering.
”No problem, this dish is very good.” In Angelo's understanding, Wensi tofu is equivalent to shredding the pudding.
After reading the adjectives at that time, Angelo's first reaction was that Chinese chefs were really joking. How could that be possible.
There are no such twists and turns in Luca's hearts. Although they feel that Yuanzhou does not agree to carving, even the money offensive is meaningless, they put down their mind and plan to eat a good tonic.
Although they didn't know much about Yuanzhou before they came, they still turned to the news that Yuanzhou was invited to join by the famous chef Federation, so Luca's goal is steak.
So after Angelo, they ordered steak according to their habits. After all, they just flipped the menu and found that even if they are used to eating steak, they have gained a lot of experience today. It turns out that there are so many kinds and patterns of steak.
”President of China famous chefs Federation, I think this meal list alone has killed many chefs in our country.”
”There are hundreds of kinds of steak, which even a special steak master can't do.”
”Anyway, it's so complete. It's the first time I've seen it.”
Luca whispered and the sense of expectation reached its peak.
Yuan Zhou didn't pay special attention to Luca. For him, the afternoon has passed. Although he refused tens of millions, does boss yuan care about money?
Do you care?
Of course... I care.
But cooking is important.
After Angelo ordered the meal, other diners also ordered it. When they got the menu reported by Su Ruoyan, Yuanzhou began to make it one by one in order.
In the vast Chinese food civilization, most of the cuisines are divided into North and south, and tofu is no exception. There are north and South tofu, which is not the difference between sweet and salty. The main difference lies in the different materials of tofu.
South tofu is made of gypsum. Because the solidified tofu flower has high water content and delicate texture, the water content is about 90%.
North tofu is mostly made with brine or sour paste. The solidified tofu flower has less water content and older texture than South tofu, with a water content of about 85%.
To sum up, North tofu has less water content, so tofu tastes stronger and is easy to cook soup dishes, while South tofu is suitable for Mapo Tofu.
