Even if soft tofu has been blanched, it is only relatively firm. In fact, it is still very tender and fragile. You cannot stir-fry it like ordinary dishes. You can only use the back of a spoon to gently break up the piled tofu pieces. Push it apart, and the shaking should be steady during this process, otherwise the tofu will be broken accidentally.
After a while, when all sides of the tofu pieces were evenly coated with curry sauce, Su Qingluan added a little water starch to thicken it. This will not only further make the soup more smooth and rich, but also make the color of the dishes brighter and more attractive.
Su Qingluan then poured the bright and dark yellow curry version of "Spicy Tofu" into a white plate, and sprinkled in green and green chopped green onions. The originally dull color was instantly replaced by a touch of tender green and green onions in the center. White decorates brightly.
Su Qingluan took out the large pieces of unburned firewood from the two stoves, and completely closed the vents of the two furnaces. He repeated it two or three times to make sure that the fire in the furnaces was completely extinguished, and then completely closed the sliding door of the vents and turned around. Take this "spicy tofu" to the house.
"Wow..." Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan were children and were not very good at hiding their emotions. They looked at Su Qingluan serving a plate of dishes they had never seen before and sighed with great curiosity.
"Sister, what is this?" Su Xueyan leaned over and asked curiously.
"It looks a bit like tofu, but what is this yellow thing on the surface?" Su Xuanhe picked up the chopsticks and carefully poked the plate of tempting-looking yellow dishes, and then licked the top of the chopsticks with his tongue. The yellow sauce served, "Tsk, it's actually spicy...but it seems to be a little sweet..."
"What is spicy and sweet?" Su Xueyan was a little eager to try it after hearing her brother's description, but because of the fear of "spicy", she still didn't dare to try it.
Compared to the chattering of the two little guys, Su Guangfu and Yang are adults after all, and they are elders compared to Su Qingluan, so they must have some stability as elders. So even though the two of them were very curious, they did not chirp into a hundred thousand reasons like the second son and the youngest daughter. Instead, they turned their attention to Su Qingluan, obviously waiting for her to explain herself.
Su Qingluan pointed at the tofu: "This light yellow sauce is made from spices that can be used as medicine that I found in Huichuntang. There are also many other spices added to it. It has a unique taste and bright color, which can promote health. It not only improves appetite, but also dispels wind and cold, especially in this winter, so there is no harm in eating more.”
Of course, another benefit is that it can appease the "greedy insects" in Su Qingluan's Five Zang Temple. Of course, this "benefit" is not enough for outsiders.
Su Qingluan gave each member of the family a small spoon. After all, tender tofu cannot be lifted with chopsticks.
In order to show that this dish was really not unpalatable, she took the lead in scooping out a small piece with a small spoon and put it into her mouth.
Yes, this is the taste and this feeling!
When the familiar spicy and rich taste flowed on the tip of her tongue, Su Qingluan was almost moved to tears!
Because of the base flavor of turmeric and various spices, although this is slightly different from the curry I had in my previous life, the spicy and special aroma has not changed. In addition, because of the addition of sweet milk tofu, it is not only spicy and slightly bitter, but also has a hint of sweetness and milky aroma. This hint of milk tofu makes the spiciness of the curry softer and more delicate.
Moreover, the original soft tofu is not tasty, but after being wrapped in a thick sauce, the taste is neutralized. If Su Qingluan prefers spicy and spicy food, you can also smash the tender and smooth soft tofu into pieces. Allows the tofu to fully contact the sauce.
The texture of tofu is like freshly baked custard. You don't even need to chew it. Just suck it gently and it will slide into your mouth, leaving the spicy taste between your lips and teeth. And the little bit of chopped green onion sprinkled on the surface brings a bit of refreshment to the rich taste, so as not to make the whole dish burn your throat.
Seeing Su Qingluan's eyes narrowing as he ate, Su Xuanhe muttered: "Is it really that delicious?" and started to take a spoonful.
Su Qingluan caught his action from the corner of her eye, her forehead jumped immediately, and she quickly held her brother's arm: "Hey, don't take such a big mouthful, didn't I tell you, there are a lot of spices here, spicy ones! Give it a try! If you eat such a big mouthful, what if you feel sick to your stomach again?"
"How can it be uncomfortable every time..." Su Xuanhe muttered unconvincedly, but it was obvious that he was already a bankrupt person, and he didn't even believe his own words.
So although on the surface Su Xuanhe was still awkward and unwilling to admit it, he was still very honest in his hands and put back most of the big mouthful of spicy tofu that he dug out, leaving only the small half that Su Qingluan had accidentally dug out just now.
The little girl Su Xueyan was relatively more cautious. From the beginning, she carefully scraped off a layer of the thick sauce on the surface with a spoon, then used the edge of the spoon to cut off a corner of a piece of tofu and carefully brought it to her mouth. side.
Relatively speaking, Su Guangfu and Yang, who have a good tolerance for spicy flavors, have become more and more interested in spicy and spicy ingredients as Su Qingluan's "adaptive training" deepens and the cold winter approaches. Compared to the "love to eat but not very good", the second son and the little daughter who "know how to be good at food", Shi's movements are much more casual.
Each of them took a big mouthful of tofu and chewed it in their mouths. Yang's eyes quickly lit up: "This tofu is delicious! It has a spicy flavor and a sweet milk aroma."
In contrast, Su Guangfu didn't like the milky smell very much: "It would taste better without the milky smell, but I can accept the sweetness." He doesn't like sweets very much, but he doesn't dislike it.
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "Turmeric is a medicine after all, and many spices have the same origin as medicine and food, and they all have a bit of bitterness. If you don't use sweet milk tofu or other ingredients to neutralize it, the taste will be different. For many people, it is as bitter as soup."
Hearing Su Qingluan's words, the two little guys nodded hurriedly, just like two chickens pecking at rice, making the other three people burst into laughter.
"How is it?" Su Qingluan looked at her sister who can't eat spicy food the most, "Is this level of spicy food acceptable?"
Su Xueyan blinked, pursed her lips again, thought about it for a moment, and then nodded: "I don't know if sister added sweet milk tofu. Although the tofu is very spicy this time, it's not too spicy for me. "
Only then did Su Qingluan remember that she had read a survey in her previous life. It seemed that sweet dairy products were the best at relieving spiciness because some substances were produced to neutralize the spiciness.
She was not sure if it was a mistake this time, but the curry tofu was accepted by the whole family, which made Su Qingluan breathe a sigh of relief.
