Chapter 210 Tomato Fish Balls

They are both fish ball soups, so someone might ask why we make two.

Jiang Qiuqiu discussed the taste of the two types of meatballs while processing the tomatoes.

Fish balls are a derivative product of river seafood. The fishy smell is removed and made into balls, and tapioca starch is added to enhance the flavor. They are extremely fresh and have a chewy and smooth feeling when bitten.

"When making fresh fish ball soup, you don't add too many seasonings. The high temperature brings out the umami flavor to the extreme. Add a little salt to taste, dip in a handful of greens, and the refreshing soup is ready."

"The tomato fish ball soup we make now has richer ingredients than the fresh fish ball soup. The soup base is still fragrant, but the fresh base has a bit of sourness that rises from the tip of the tongue. The sweetness of the fish balls and the acidity of the tomatoes complement each other... It has a unique flavor."

As he spoke, he poured boiling water over the tomatoes in the bowl, and the skin originally attached to the surface was easily peeled off, revealing the red flesh inside.

Jiang Qiuqiu took out a vegetarian table and placed the tomatoes on it. The knife moved rapidly up and down the table, and soon the round tomatoes were diced. Besides the tomatoes, Jiang Qiuqiu also chopped a few carrots, a little corn, mushrooms, and some other ingredients.

[Ah, it already tastes a bit sour before even being put into the pot...]

“This is the natural flavor of tomatoes.”

After the ingredients were prepared, Jiang Qiuqiu turned on the fire under the stove, and the orange-yellow oil instantly fell into the pot. The onion and garlic slices were put into the pot. After a slight aroma came out, the tomatoes were added.

The tomatoes that were just put into the pot were still in a small state, but soon, under the blessing of high temperature, the ripe fruits and vegetables gradually became soft and rotten. During the turning process, the juice of the vegetables slowly flowed out, and the tomatoes rolled slightly, revealing an orange-yellow color.

Jiang Qiuqiu put the other ingredients into the pot while it was still hot. Soon, with the help of the fire, the pot began to gurgle, and the sour and fragrant aroma became more intense!

Unlike the strong sour taste of pickled fish, the taste of tomato juice is more elegant, but not bland at all.

What an alluring color!

[I feel like this kind of nutrient solution must be delicious. What the hell is this...?]

The soup gradually thickened. Jiang Qiuqiu poured in a basin of water and then threw the fish balls in.

The solid fish balls instantly fell to the bottom of the pot. Jiang Qiuqiu closed the lid, and the last shot the camera robot captured was a close-up of the white fish balls dangling in the tomato soup before gradually turning orange-red.

This lid is blocking my view of my food!

[I feel like this tomato fish ball soup has become my go-to dish!!!]

Using tomatoes to make meatballs is amazing! I bought some raw from the Agricultural Research Institute when it first came out... I think it's the only vegetable that tastes good raw!

Jiang Qiuqiu was brushing oil into the frying pan. When she saw the fan's comment, she responded, picked up a tomato from the frame next to her, and showed it to the live broadcast room.

"This is indeed a rare fruit in Taotao Fresh that can be eaten directly."

She rubbed the skin, and then the red tomato disappeared from the screen. A faint chewing sound could be heard. After a while, Jiang Qiuqiu commented, "I took a bite. The flesh was crunchy and slightly sour, but it tasted very good."

“It will be very refreshing if you eat it with something a little stronger.”

[Jiujiu, are you talking about taking it with nutrient solution? ]

[Will this help alleviate the unpalatable taste of the nutrient solution?]

Nutrient solution? This thing, which he hadn't touched in a long time, came into view, bringing back unpleasant memories. Jiang Qiuqiu's face froze and he coughed twice. "No, no, no, it's better not to mix the nutrient solution with anything else. It might be faster to just drink it in one gulp."

"I'm talking about dishes with a little oil, like this pan-fried fish balls."
