The dish that Law wants to make is a famous traditional Sichuan dish, Mapo Tofu that combines the six flavors of numbing, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, and tender.
The appearance and taste of Porcupine Liver are very similar to tender tofu, so Law whimsically thought of Porcupine Liver as a substitute for tofu.
Regardless of whether this idea is feasible or not, Law wants to give it a try. Maybe with the help of the special ingredients, he can cook a unique Mapo Tofu.
As soon as Law got up, he immediately got busy. First, he needed to find all the necessary auxiliary materials.
The spaceship's kitchen is fully equipped, so are the materials. Law quickly found all the auxiliary materials, only the most important bean paste is missing.
Although the bean paste is missing, it doesn't stop Law from wanting to cook Mapo Tofu with Porcupine Liver.
"No bean paste …"
Law glanced at the materials on the side of the stove.
Pepper, fermented bean paste, garlic, garlic sprouts, onion, ginger, red pepper, flour, soy sauce … and horned cow meat.
The value of red wine Porcupine Liver alone increased by 0.2%, while the meat of horned cow only increased by 0.1%. He didn't know what effect the combination of the two would have.
"Okay, let's start."
Law rolled up his sleeves and was excited.
This was the Mapo Tofu that was unique on Earth, and even here, it was unique.
"First, cut the Porcupine Liver."
Law reached out and used his ability on the Porcupine Liver. In the blink of an eye, the Porcupine Liver was separated into small cubes of the same size, then the pot was filled with water and a small amount of salt.
When the water showed signs of boiling, he threw the cut Porcupine Liver into the water and blanched it.
Blanching is a cooking term in the North. It is similar to the Cantonese Cuisine's Broth. It means that after the ingredients are cooked in boiling water, they are scooped up into a bowl, and then the boiling soup is added. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Little ↑ Say △ Network]
After blanching, Law didn't pour out the soup in the pot. This process itself is to cook the tofu and get rid of the bean smell. However, Porcupine Liver is not tofu, but the liver of Porcupine Porcupine. The blanched soup can be used in subsequent cooking.
"Next is the ground meat, the meat of horned cow."
After processing the Porcupine Liver, Law filled the blanched soup and heated the oil directly. The materials on the stove were not processed. Not only the meat, but also the ingredients such as pepper, garlic, and onion are intact.
Generally speaking, these materials must be processed before cooking, but for Law, these can be done during the cooking process.
This was not just about making a dish. During the process of making it, one could practice one's telekinesis. Eating the finished product could also improve one's telekinesis and satisfy one's appetite. It was simply one of life's greatest pleasures.
This was equivalent to … a combination of pleasure and work. It was most likely the pursuit of many people.
A moment later, the oil was hot.
Law picked up a piece of horned cow meat and hung it over the pot. The ability started. In the white light, the horned cow meat suddenly turned into a pile of minced meat and scattered into the pot.
Chi!
The aroma was emitted along with the oil and smoke. Without the addition of spices, this was the aroma of the horn beef itself.
Luo's nose twitched slightly as he quickly stir-fried the beef in the pot.
When the stir-frying was almost done, Luo quickly picked up the garlic and black beans with one hand and held them in the other. He used the Hand of God to chop them up and sprinkle them into the pot. Then, he added the red chili and ginger in the same way.
The movement of using the ability to instantly process the auxiliary materials was smooth. If a top chef was present, he would definitely be envious of Law's ability to turn the auxiliary materials into minced meat. It looked extremely cool.
Because there was no bean paste, Law increased the amount of chili. He fried the bright red color to let the spicy taste escape. Then, he added the clear soup that had just boiled the porcupine liver.
After adding the clear soup, the bright red color of the porcupine liver spread slightly.
At this time, Law gently put the cut porcupine liver into the pot, then added cooking wine and soy sauce. He adjusted the heat to a small flame, rolled it a little, and then sprinkled in the garlic sprouts that were chopped with the ability.
At this step, the aroma became more and more intense, making people hungry. However, this was not the peak of the Mapo Tofu's aroma.
In the pot, the red of the chili and the white of the porcupine liver were in sharp contrast, and the chopped garlic sprouts were dotted with a little green. The combination of the three colors formed a visual beauty.
"Finally, roast it with a big flame!"
Law adjusted the heat to the maximum and then stir-fried it.
This was the final finishing step, using the highest heat to promote the aroma to the extreme.
After a while, the entire kitchen was filled with an aroma that could arouse the appetite.
Seeing that it was almost done, Law picked up the pepper and onion, waved his hand, and turned them into powder and poured them into the pot for the final finishing.
After a while, Law turned on the fire and put the Mapo Tofu on the plate. Smelling the aroma that lingered in the nostrils, he had the urge to eat a bowl of white rice immediately.
Numbing, spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, six flavors in one …
Pepper corresponds to numbness, red chili corresponds to spiciness, garlic sprouts are sprinkled to aroma, beef is crisp, porcupine liver is tender, and the fire is hot. This is the six flavors in one.
The main ingredients used are the meat of horned cattle and the porcupine liver that replaced the tofu. The ingredients themselves are excellent, coupled with the cooking method of Sichuan Cuisine, it will be delicious.
Law resisted the urge to eat, put the fragrant Mapo Tofu on the tray, and brought enough rice, and walked quickly to the room where Ellie was.
When Law walked into the room with the Mapo Tofu, Ellie and Kenda were immediately attracted by the unique spicy smell of the Mapo Tofu, which they had never smelled before.
"What is this?" Ellie stared straight at the Mapo Tofu in Law's hand. She didn't feel hungry at first, but as soon as she smelled the aroma, she became hungry.
Kenda was quite knowledgeable, but he had never seen a dish like Mapo Tofu. He could only tell from its appearance that it was a dish related to chili. Moreover, the fragrance that kept wafting into his nose was too tempting.
"This dish is called Mapo Porcupine Liver." Hearing Ellie's question, Law thought about it. Since he used porcupine liver to replace tofu, he might as well change the name.
"Mapo Porcupine Liver?" Ellie ran to the table and looked at the Mapo Tofu with a layer of bright red juice floating on it at a close distance.
"Come on, try it."
Law said while serving rice. He thought that Mapo Tofu with white rice was the best.
Ellie thought that Law was serving the rice for her. She reached out happily and wanted to take the rice, but Law's hand shrank.
"Serve it yourself."
Law rolled his eyes at Ellie and ignored Ellie's resentful gaze. He scooped up the Mapo Tofu with a spoon and put it into his mouth.
In the spiciness, there was a unique freshness. It was porcupine liver … The minced meat made from the ground beef was very elastic. It was different from the minced meat made from ordinary beef and pork.
The fresh and tender taste of the porcupine liver and the elasticity of the ground beef, the two ingredients reflected each other. Coupled with the way the Mapo Tofu was made, it formed a taste that he would never have the chance to taste on Earth.
It was really a blessing to be able to eat this kind of food.
Ellie and Kenda saw Law's happy expression. They didn't care about their previous sarcastic remarks about Law. They didn't even serve the rice. They scooped up the Mapo Tofu with a spoon and stuffed it into their mouths.
The porcupine liver melted in their mouth, but the elasticity of the ground beef made the two chewed. Every time they chewed, the sauce mixed with the ground meat would spurt on the tip of their tongue.
The spiciness and numbness made it difficult for Ellie and Kenda to digest for a while. Their faces flushed immediately. Even so, they still ate mouthful after mouthful. It was not even worthy of white rice.
"Oh, it's so delicious. This is the best dish I've ever eaten!" Ellie's cheeks puffed up. Her lips were covered with red oil. She ate without a care for her image.
Kenda didn't say anything, but he had already crossed the line of master and servant. He made a move to snatch the food.
In the room, the three launched a fierce attack on the large plate of Mapo Porcupine Liver. In a short while, it was all gone.
"Phew …"
