【28】Mapo Tofu! Ice and Fire! (3 more chapters, please bookmark!)

Similarly, the tofu is blanched in water first.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Han put the snow-white and hot tofu into the ice water!

"What's the principle behind this?"

Everyone is a little confused about this operation.

Could it be that the rapid change in temperature makes the tofu taste better?

"But tofu is not meat. Treating it this way will make it more fragile, right?"

"Has this freshman really made tofu-related dishes?"

Some people even sneered.

However, Lin Han ignored them.

After putting the tofu into ice water, Lin Han also heated up another pot.

"It seems that Lin Hanjun didn't choose any meat just now. What method is he going to use to enhance the flavor of tofu?"

Sakaki Ryoko said with some concern.

This is also the question everyone is thinking about.

The fresh flavor of the meat and the light tofu seem to be the best match made in nature.

If Lin Han gave up using meat to enhance the flavor of tofu, then the taste of his tofu would inevitably be inferior to that of Kuga Teruki!

Everyone in Polaris Dormitory, who had a clear understanding of this principle, also began to worry about Lin Han.

On the other hand, the tofu of Kuga Teruki had absorbed the beef broth during the cooking process.

Becomes delicious.

The signature spicy flavor of Sichuan cuisine dominates everyone's nasal cavity.

Even people who have just eaten will feel the urge to eat something.

The steaming mapo tofu came out of the pot quickly.

"Minced beef with mapo tofu, please enjoy."

A pot of tofu was divided into evenly distributed small plates and served to the judges.

The judges scooped up a spoonful of hot tofu, attracted by the spicy smell that rushed into their noses, and put the tofu into their mouths eagerly.

"Hot! So hot!"

It was rare to eat food that was cooked at such a high temperature, and the judges screamed in surprise at the scalding temperature of the tofu.

However, although they shouted that the food was too hot, they were unwilling to give up the delicious food in their mouths.

He just blew out air and swallowed the tofu.

“It’s soft, tender, smooth, fresh, spicy, and when you swallow it, you can feel the tender tofu sliding into your stomach!”

The judges couldn't wait to scoop up the second spoonful, and this time, they did not forget to blow on the tofu to cool it down first.

“The tofu is just the right temperature when you put it in your mouth, soft and tender like pudding, sliding smoothly on the tip of your tongue.”

"You don't even need to chew it. You just need to suck the rich soup on the tofu with the tip of your tongue and swallow it immediately!"

"The tofu absorbs the aroma of the broth, making the originally bland taste mellower, and the beef adds a bit of chewing pleasure."

"I give this Mapo Tofu 95 points!"

"agree!"

Hearing the judges' endless praise, Kuga Teruki smiled proudly.

Lin Han also came up with his dishes.

"My food is ready too."

"This is……"

The judge, Kuga Teruki, and everyone present looked at Lin Han's dishes in surprise.

Lin Han smiled slightly. Even though he had just finished cooking, he looked like a nobleman who had just returned from a high-class dance party.

"Mapo Tofu: Ice and Fire, please enjoy it, judges!"

On the plate, neatly sized pieces of tofu were dyed red and snow-white.

Then arrange them into the shape of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram according to the colors.

The red tofu emits a burning mist.

The snow-white tofu also exudes a hint of coolness!

At the same time, a spicy aroma that is no less delicious than Kuga Teruki's Mapo Tofu emanates from the plate.

There is also a faint sweet and cold fragrance.

"Is this the result of freezing tofu?"

The judge finished speaking in surprise.

"It seems that these two kinds of tofu should have different flavors."

One of them scooped up the hot red tofu and put it into his mouth.

"So hot, so hot!"

I didn’t expect that the Mapo Tofu made by Lin Han would have such a high temperature.

The judge, who was unfortunately hit again, was about to puff up his cheeks and blow out.

Her movements seemed to be frozen, her eyes wide open with an expression of surprise.

"Tofu, unexpectedly, melted..."

"Melt?"

The other judges said in surprise. They looked at each other, then scooped up a spoonful of tofu, blew on it to warm it, and put it into their mouths.

In an instant, an indescribable wonderful taste burst in the mouth.

"What is this taste like? Not to mention the eight flavors of Mapo Tofu itself, this tofu actually has a sweet and sour taste!"

"It's even softer than the tofu just now. It's just like a piece of butter. It melts immediately when you put it in your mouth!"

“The aroma of the tofu itself blends with the soup on the surface, it’s just like drinking soup!”

The wonderful taste made the judges present couldn't help but eat a few spoonfuls.

“So spicy, so spicy…”

Soon, they were stimulated by the spicy and numbing peppers, and their lips and tongues began to swell and sting.

Just as they were about to find some water to drink, Lin Han smiled slightly.

"Dear judges, why don't you try the tofu here?"

He pointed to the snow-white tofu next to the red oil tofu.

The two colors, red and white, are clearly distinguished, red is like fire and white is like snow.

Looking at Lin Han's confident smile, the judge scooped up a spoonful of white ice tofu and put it into his mouth.

An even more wonderful taste spreads between lips and teeth.

“Is this really tofu?”

"This silky, smooth feeling is like eating milk ice cream!"

"The spicy feeling just now disappeared without a trace in an instant! Only the sweet taste is left in my mouth!"

After eating a few more spoonfuls of ice tofu, the judge felt as if his lips and tongue were frozen, and quickly ate a few more mouthfuls of red oil tofu.

"These two kinds of tofu, one hot and one cold, one spicy and one sweet, have their own characteristics while also canceling out each other's flaws."

“Absolutely perfect!”

"Whether it's red tofu or white tofu, the taste and texture are impeccable."

“Together, it’s a match made in heaven!”

A plate of tofu was quickly eaten by the five judges.

However, the improved Mapo Tofu made by Teruki Kuga, which was highly praised by them just a moment ago, was pushed aside and no one was interested in it.

"I choose Lin Han's Mapo Tofu: Ice and Fire!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

In the end, Lin Han won the food battle with a score of 5:0 without any dispute.

[29] Lin Han's trump card! The position of the top ten! Secretly spying on Zhejiang! (4 more, please bookmark!)

"how so……"

Kuga Teruki lost his previous arrogance and confidence and knelt on the ground dejectedly.

He murmured in disbelief.

"My ingredients and cooking methods are all made strictly according to the most authentic method of making Mapo Tofu..."

As one of the Ten Greatest Masters, Kuga Teruki has always been very confident in his abilities.

I have always believed that there is absolutely no problem with my cooking methods.

But this dismal score told him clearly.

He lost.

Lost to a freshman who had been in school for less than three days.

Lin Han stood in front of him, looking calmly at Kuga Teruki, who had fallen into self-doubt.

"Kuga-senpai, do you want to know where you lost?"

"what?"

Kuga Teruki raised his head and looked at Lin Han in a daze.

At this moment, the figure of this young junior became extremely tall in front of Kuga Teruki.

"I've said before that the senior's cooking skills are very high, but he follows a routine approach to cooking."

“If you only follow the formulaic taste when processing and preparing ingredients, but lack your own understanding and flexibility.”

"Then no matter how good your cooking skills are, the upper limit of the dishes you make will only remain at the same level."

Lin Han had already explained these principles to Kuga Teruki before.

But at that time, Teruki Kuga's mind was full of confidence in his cooking methods.

He simply wouldn't listen to any of Lin Han's advice.

"But isn't this how Mapo Tofu should be made..."

Kuga Teruki seemed to be talking to himself.

Lin Han smiled.

“If you want to become stronger, you need to constantly break through your own limits.”

"It's the same with cooking. If the upper limit of this dish has been reached, why not try to break through its existing limitations?"

“This is where the idea for my Mapo Tofu with Ice and Fire came from.”

In order to break through the limitations of the original Mapo Tofu, Lin Han not only worked on Mapo Tofu itself.

The addition of fish flavor from Sichuan cuisine gives the tofu an extra sweet and sour taste.

He also ingeniously made extremely cold tofu to complement the spicy flavor of Mapo tofu.

This dish is Lin Han’s own creation.
