Chapter 447. Inspiration for Transformation

During the Spring Festival, some people spend their time gatherings with relatives and friends, some people spend their time surrounded by Chinese food, and some people spend their time roaring with the extermination of the dragon.

"China on the Bite of the Tongue" broadcast for seven days, the story of gifts from nature to staple food, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the theme of tonight is "Inspiration for Transformation".

Tom Grange, a well-known food video maker at Hakka Video Network's overseas site, opened Hakka Video Network on time to watch "Huaxia on the Tip of the Tongue".

Tom is from the Kingdom of England. The dishes in the Kingdom of England are always called dark cuisine. Tom uploaded many of the videos uploaded by Tom on the overseas version of Hakka Video.com are also tasting and cooking dark cuisine, such as the most classic starry sky pie, mutton crumbs, eel jelly, etc., and from time to time, they also come to order some canned herring videos, which are very popular among the audience.

He was very interested in Chinese delicacies. Not only the classic delicacies such as roast duck and small buns, but also the unique foods such as snail noodles, stinky tofu, bean juice, and peeled eggs are also popular with Tom.

Tom once asked a friend who went to China to bring snail noodles and tried it during the live broadcast. But the smell made him go to the toilet and vomit, and even vomited yesterday's midnight snack.

But there is no way, I have to eat the snail noodles I cooked by myself even if I pinched my nose.

Tom used a fork to snail noodles and stuffed them into his mouth like pasta.

In an instant, the fermentation and sour taste of sour bamboo shoots, chili oil, and sour beans all poured into Tom's mouth, and all the flavors penetrated into the translucent fans. For Tom, it was like detonating a huge taste bomb in his mouth.

Boom-

The taste building that Tom built over 20 years ago collapsed in an instant.

Because it was a live broadcast, Tom's distorted expression also affected the audience and made them feel it. Many people in front of the screen wailed.

But amazingly, about thirty seconds later, when Tom swallowed the snail noodles containing soup and vermicelli, the first sentence he blurted out was-

“It’s quite delicious.”

Tom himself didn't believe in his tongue, but after the disgusting taste at the beginning, the word "delicious" actually made him think.

The audience was very surprised, and comments kept appearing, such as "Do you believe an Englishman said it tastes delicious? He grew up eating the starry sky pie." "I want to deceive me to buy snail noodles again, I won't be fooled." "This guy is a guy who can eat a whole canned herring without changing his face. I don't believe even one word of him!" Such comments are one after another.

Of course, Tom finally ate all the snail noodles. As for the fact that his kitchen was ventilated for a month, it was another story.

After watching the opening of "China on the Bite of the Tongue", he saw the subtitle of this episode, "Inspiration for Transformation".

Although the documentary is in Chinese, it is also accompanied by English subtitles, and Tom is watching it smoothly.

At the beginning of this episode, the picture of putting the tofu in the bamboo plaque on the rooftop. Tofu is a unique ingredient in China. Tom likes to eat Mapo tofu the most in Chinatown, but the tofu on the screen is obviously different from what he thinks.

The shriveled, hard, dark brown skin looked like it was moldy, which made Tom frown slightly.

Next, the documentary shows how this special tofu is eaten.

On the grill of the charcoal brazier, these small pieces of tofu are heated and expand like popcorn. Break it apart, dip it a little seasoning and put it into your mouth. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it very exciting.

Tom was not very able to accept such food at first. The fermented things always had some special flavors, such as sour bamboo shoots and canned herring. But when people put them into their mouths in the documentary, Tom suddenly wanted to eat them.

Next is the process of making tofu. Tom has seen the information, but this is the first time he has seen such detailed images. It is hard to believe that the soybeans will turn into such white and tender gelatinous substances, and the taste will become delicate and soft, completely different from the original appearance.

The scene afterwards made Tom stunned. A chef quickly cut a piece of tofu with a knife, cutting it into a mud-like shape. However, when he rolled it up with a knife and put it in the water, he found that the tofu had turned into extremely thin shredded tofu shreds, and it was basically not broken.

“It’s amazing!”

Tom couldn't help but exclaim.

In Western food, knife skills are also a part of it. Western food chefs are good at using various knives to perform homework, such as classic ham slices.

But the chef in Chinese cuisine completed the work that only with a kitchen knife could the cooperation of more than a dozen Western cuisine knives, which was really amazing.

In addition to ordinary tofu, there are also milk tofu made from goat milk. Edible tofu that grows white hair after fermentation, as well as vegetarian dishes made of tofu and various vegetarian dishes, which opens the eyes of the noodle soup that has only eaten Mapo tofu.

The next duck, soy sauce, and sauerkraut are also Chinese delicacies that Tom cannot access on weekdays.

All the ingredients for the food in this episode are what Tom can see in the market on weekdays, but through special transformations, they have become styles he has never seen before.

Such transformation methods are quite similar to the molecular cuisine in some new Western restaurants, but they have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.

In comparison, most of the products Tom usually eats are simple processing products, and can be made in a microwave. It is too simple and too barren.

“…all these imaginative transformations, the flavors and sublimation of nutrition they create are breathtaking, and form a part called culture that can be passed on.”

At this time, the episode was just over the end, and the narration was told in a leisurely manner, with the background music, there was a long charm.

After watching an episode, Tom was still unsatisfied, and at the same time, some inspiration and thoughts suddenly arose in his heart.

"I can buy all these ingredients. Can I learn how to make tofu by myself?"

Soybeans and gypsum are all ordinary ingredients. Tom also knows some friends from Chinese restaurants in Chinatown and learns from them. Maybe he can make tofu by himself.

This can be used as a material for a video. I believe that Tom's fans who have watched "Huaxia on the Bite of the Tongue" will definitely be very interested in the tofu production.

Thinking of this, Tom immediately packed up his things, put on his clothes, and prepared to go to the market to shop.
Chapter completed!
