If you taste it carefully, you can also detect some subtle spice flavors, perhaps a hint of star anise fragrance, or a hint of numbing peppercorns. These subtle flavors are like treasures hidden deep inside, waiting for your taste buds to discover.
Each bite of the fish is tender and juicy, melting in your mouth. The fish skin has a slight toughness that adds to the joy of chewing. The fish meat is delicate and soft, blending perfectly with the rich broth, leaving you intoxicated.
After swallowing, the wonderful taste still lingered in the mouth, the aftertaste was long and endless, making one unable to resist savoring it mouthful after mouthful, as if never getting tired of this unique delicacy. Xiao Yi focused on making dried tofu. He brought out a large bag of soybeans from the storage room, untied the bag, and the unique fragrance of the soybeans immediately filled the air.
He took a large, spacious basin and carefully cleaned it, making sure there were no impurities left. Then, Xiao Yi slowly poured the soybeans into the basin. The plump soybeans jumped in the basin, making a crisp sound.
Then, he turned on the faucet, and clear water poured down. Xiao Yi gently stirred the soybeans with his hands, allowing each soybean to fully come into contact with the water. As the water continued to pour in, the soybeans were gradually submerged, and some small bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
Xiao Yi controlled the amount of water until it completely covered the soybeans, with a few centimeters of excess water. He stopped the tap and stared at the soybeans in the basin, as if imagining the wonderful changes that were about to happen to them.
In order to allow the soybeans to be soaked better, Xiao Yi found a piece of clean gauze and gently covered the mouth of the basin to maintain the temperature and humidity.
After finishing all this, Xiao Yi straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His eyes were filled with anticipation, anticipating that these soaked soybeans would bring him delicious dried tofu. Xiao Yi was shirtless, his bronze skin glowing with health under the light. His strong chest and broad shoulders showed endless strength, and most striking were his well-defined eight-pack abs, neatly arranged like sculptures, rising and falling slightly with his movements.
He stood in front of the kitchen counter, his forehead slightly sweaty, but it did not affect his focused expression at all. Xiao Yi operated with his hands skillfully, his muscle lines tensed and stretched with the movements, full of the beauty of strength.
He first fished the soaked soybeans out of the basin, then, with his powerful arms, steadily lifted the basin and poured the soybeans into the grinder. As he started the machine, the veins in his arms bulged, as if brimming with explosive power.
Then, Xiao Yi began to filter the soy milk. He leaned over and squeezed the filter hard, his back muscles bulging and his lines hard. Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto his solid chest, but his eyes were always fixed on the work in his hands, never wandering for a moment.
While cooking the soy milk, Xiao Yi kept stirring it, his strong forearm muscles tensed, and every stirring was accompanied by firm determination.
When preparing to press the dried tofu, he held the pressing plate tightly with both hands and pressed down hard. All the muscles in his body worked together at this moment, showing amazing strength and tenacity.
Throughout the production process, Xiao Yi's powerful body and focused posture created a charming picture.
The dried tofu that Xiao Yi carefully prepared finally appeared before his eyes, and it looked really tempting.
The dried tofu is square, each piece is almost the same size, and the edges are neat and smooth, showing the delicacy and care that goes into the production process.
The surface of the dried tofu is a uniform, light yellow, warm and natural color, without a single blemish or spot. A closer look reveals subtle textures, the unique marks left by the soy milk solidifying and pressing, which seem to reveal the ingenuity of its production.
Gently touching the dried tofu, the surface is slightly springy yet has just the right amount of firmness. Turning it over, the other side is smoother, with a light sheen, as if it has been carefully polished.
If you sniff it closely, you'll find a light bean fragrance, fresh and pure, without any unpleasant odors. This aroma instantly reminds you of freshly ground soy milk, full of nature's simplicity and richness.
When the dried tofu is cut open with a knife, the internal structure is delicate and tight, with evenly distributed pores, showing the perfect degree of solidification. The cut is clean and neat, without any debris or cracks, showing a perfect texture.
Whether it is the neat and beautiful appearance or the delicate texture inside, the dried tofu made by Xiao Yi can be called an exquisite gourmet art.
The dried tofu made by Xiao Yi is truly delicious.
When you bring dried tofu close to your nose, the first thing you smell is a rich and pure bean aroma. It is the most original fragrance of soybeans, fresh and natural, as if it carries the sunshine and rain in the fields.
Take a bite and you'll find the dried tofu is firm and springy, with just the right amount of resistance as your teeth sink into it. As you chew, the delicious flavor of the dried tofu gradually releases in your mouth.
At first, there's a subtle saltiness, like the astringency of a morning sea breeze, perfectly accentuating the tofu's natural flavor. Then, a subtle sweetness, the natural sugars in the soybeans, looms large, adding a delicate and mellow flavor.
As you continue chewing, the aroma of the dried tofu becomes more intense, and the various flavors blend together. The bean fragrance and the salty and sweet tastes intertwine to form a rich and harmonious taste, and each chew brings a new taste experience.
After swallowing, the wonderful taste still lingers in the mouth, with a long aftertaste that is so memorable that you can't help but pick up another piece to savor it carefully.
Xiao Yi carefully sorted the prepared dried tofu one by one and prepared to package and store them.
