Chapter 131: Chicken Slices with Lotus Root and Mapo Tofu
After finishing her first adventure in the Second World, Ye Jiaojiao basically figured out how to open a store in the Second World. It was a complete success.
After leaving the second world, Ye Jiaojiao logged into the Star Network.
A launch trailer was released.
I'd like to inform everyone in advance that she will start broadcasting tomorrow at noon.
It is also synchronized to the announcement board of the live broadcast room.
@修真小师妹: "It starts tomorrow at 11:30 AM. This is a rare early announcement. If you have time, remember to come and support us! [pen refill.jpg]"
【@William: Got it! 】
@LittleCatCatchFish: Awww! I caught an awesome anchor lady! What are we eating tomorrow? I'll definitely be there! Remember to wait for me!
@Mibu: I hope the top guy on the list isn't here this time. I want to participate in the raffle and eat the natural food made by the anchor. Even though I'm not the king of luck.
@StinkyBaby's Big Sister: Pray for a win! Pray for a win! 】
lottery?
I'm afraid it will be impossible in the future.
As soon as the broadcast announcement was released, the number of messages on Starnet and the live broadcast room message board continued to increase.
Ye Jiaojiao waited for a while, and when she saw the message about the lucky draw, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Her cooking has been defined as healing.
I'm afraid there won't be any more small benefits in the short term.
Fortunately, the fast food restaurant should be able to divert most of her attention.
The next morning, after buying the ingredients needed for the noon live broadcast on Star Online, Ye Jiaojiao turned on the live broadcast equipment on time at 11:30.
Perhaps it was the benefit of advance notice, as soon as Ye Jiaojiao entered the live broadcast room, all kinds of colorful special effects gifts began to explode on the big screen in the live broadcast room.
There are piles of small amounts, and there are also quite a few large amounts, and the barrage is even more dense.
Even though Ye Jiaojiao tried very hard, she still couldn't find a few familiar IDs. It is conceivable how many new viewers came to the live broadcast room.
Then, Ye Jiaojiao took another look at the number of people online in the live broadcast room.
Wow!
Reached a historical high!
Even though it just started airing, the number of people online has exceeded 20 million.
Ye Jiaojiao: "Good afternoon, everyone! I didn't expect there would be so many viewers even though I just gave them a heads-up. Thank you all for coming!"
Good afternoon, host!
[Hey, I'm the 666th person to check in. I'm obviously fast enough, so why can't I be the first?]
[666 still not satisfied? My number was already in the seven figures when I clocked in. I'm feeling a bit withdrawn.]
【Check in, check in, check in! 】
[Anchor, as promised, I'm here to report! Sprinkle flowers!]
[Good afternoon, little sister. Looking forward to today's food~~~]
Ye Jiaojiao: "Today I brought you Mapo Tofu, Mushrooms and Chestnuts, and a dish of Chicken in Lotus Root Sauce. Sorry, I still couldn't let go of the Cuckoo Chicken."
Ye Jiaojiao made fun of herself, and the audience who understood the joke also laughed a lot.
[Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. I forgive you on behalf of Guguji.]
If it weren't for the little sister, I really wouldn't have known there were so many ways to eat Cuckoo Chicken. Even the eggs weren't spared. I wonder if we'll just eat all the Cuckoo Chicken. I'm a little worried.
[Cuckoo Chicken is so abundant on some pristine planets that it's impossible to eat them all in a short period of time. Broadcasters, use it with caution!]
【Cuckoo Chicken is so delicious, you must eat more! 】
"Since everyone is so concerned about Cuckoo Chicken, let's start by making this Lotus Root Chicken Slices." Ye Jiaojiao said as her hands began to move. "Lotus Root Chicken Slices requires chicken breast and eggs. I've chosen a simpler recipe today so it's easy to learn."
Ye Jiaojiao placed a piece of chicken breast that she had prepared long ago on the chopping board, cut the chicken breast into thin slices with a knife, soaked it in clean water for 10 minutes, and after drying the water, added salt and pepper to marinate the meat slices.
During this time, use beaten egg whites and starch to make egg foam paste.
After the meat slices on the other side are marinated, turn on the fire and pour in oil. First, coat the meat slices with batter. Then, put the battered meat slices into warm oil to fry.
When serving, Ye Jiaojiao took two green peppers and cut them into diamond-shaped slices and served them together.
After the dish is cooked, the meat slices are as white as tender lotus, smooth and plump, and paired with green bell peppers, the color combination is bright, and the taste is also very fragrant and refreshing.
After making the lotus root chicken slices, Ye Jiaojiao took out a piece of tender tofu, cut it into small pieces, and started another pot. She poured warm water into the pot, added a little salt, and boiled the cut tofu for two or three minutes before taking it out and setting it aside.
The purpose of rinsing the tofu is to remove the bean smell of the tofu and ensure the integrity of the tofu, making the tofu taste more tender, elastic and smoother.
Heat the wok again, add oil, and when the oil is 80% hot, Ye Jiaojiao puts the minced beef into the wok and stir-fry. During the process, add scallion segments, minced ginger, and peppercorns to sauté until fragrant.
Fry until the minced beef turns golden brown, then add the bean paste into the pot and stir-fry together, then add the fermented black beans and chili powder and stir-fry until the minced beef is well-seasoned.
Ye Jiaojiao is the chef and is closest to the oil smoke, so she feels it most directly. The spicy smell is wrapped in the salty fragrance of the beef, and the red oil is bubbling in the pot, mixed with the flavors of bean paste and fermented black beans. It can be said that the fragrance spreads for miles.
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't control themselves anymore.
[Slurp, slurp. Touching the corner of my mouth. I have to hold it in.]
[It looks bright red, so it must be spicy. I like it!!!]
[The two dishes the host made today didn't seem very complicated, and the portions were a bit small. The top-ranked person must be away today!]
I'm a bit afraid of spicy food. I hope it's not too spicy.
The host is so considerate, always providing one portion each of spicy and non-spicy. But the flavor is just too good! When can I eat it?!
Ye Jiaojiao was unaware of the audience's anxiety and was busy doing her work step by step.
When the minced beef is almost done, put the reserved tofu into the pot, turn to low heat and simmer until it is well-seasoned. During this time, add water starch to thicken the sauce three times.
The tofu cooked quickly, and in a short while, the surface was covered with a layer of red oil. The small cracks on the tofu expanded and contracted slightly, absorbing the salty and fragrant sauce from the minced beef, which seeped into the tofu bit by bit.
After the sauce has thickened, sprinkle with chopped green onions and Sichuan pepper powder before serving.
In order to make the dish look good, Ye Jiaojiao specially chose a shallow white porcelain plate. The red soup was paired with tender white tofu and a little bit of minced beef. It was placed together with the plate of chicken slices in lotus leaves on the side. Just looking at it made people drool, not to mention the fragrance floating in the air.
Chicken slices in lotus leaves and Mapo tofu are both traditional famous dishes in ancient China.
It may not seem like much, but it’s actually delicious and nutritious.
Chicken is high in protein and easy to digest, which can enhance physical strength and strengthen the body. Tofu is a heat-clearing and health-promoting food, and eating it regularly can replenish the body and benefit the qi.
Ye Jiaojiao put the two prepared dishes on the food area at the same time, and they immediately received a lot of praise.
[Wow! Hot and spicy! So delicious! It's a bit like the boiled fish fillet I made before! It's that kind of thing that makes you want to breathe in your mouth after eating it!]
This chicken slices in lotus sauce look really good, and when I put them in my mouth, I found that they are really tender. I feel like I can go without eating for two days after eating this.
[Not much to say! It's just delicious! The lady is the best!]
