Tender and delicious tofu balls, delicious with rice, suitable for all ages, into soup stewed dishes are delicious
On a sunny afternoon, I came to a time-honored restaurant in Beijing, and when I crossed the threshold, I was greeted by a rich aroma of vegetables. The restaurant has been in business for decades and has many fans. When I heard that the tofu balls here are delicious, I came here with anticipation.
Walking through the crowded and lively hall, I came to a small private room. At the moment, I am a little nervous and excited, because I am about to have an exclusive food visit. When the door opened, I was greeted warmly by an amiable owner who told me that the restaurant has a history of 100 years, and that tofu meatballs are one of the signature dishes.
As soon as I heard the name of this signature dish, I began to salivate and asked the owner how to make this fascinating dish. The owner smiled and said, "Our tofu balls have a unique way of making them. First, choose fresh and tender tofu. Then, mash the tofu into a puree, add the egg mixture, and a pinch of salt. Finally, stir with your hands until the tofu puree forms a smooth ball, then put it in water and cook it, and sprinkle with chopped chives. ”
After hearing the owner's introduction, I had a preliminary understanding of how to make this tofu ball. I think this method of making it is particularly delicate and tasteful, and I wonder if there is anything that can be improved. So, I pitched some ideas to the owner.
The owner smiled and said, "Food can be constantly innovated and explored. In fact, some customers like to add minced vegetables to the tofu puree to make the meatballs more beautiful and healthy. Some customers like to add lean meat during the steaming process to make the tofu balls plump and textured. In the process of making tofu balls, we can adjust them according to different taste preferences. ”
After listening to the owner's introduction, I was deeply moved by his openness and tolerance. It is this attitude that has made the restaurant's tofu meatballs unique and delicious for hundreds of years.
The characteristics of this tofu ball are not only reflected in the meticulousness and innovation in the production process, but also in the unique use of cooking skills. When cooking tofu meatballs, we usually use a simmer to keep the meatballs tender. At the same time, use the back of a knife to gently pat the meatballs before sprinkling them with minced chives to make them more resilient and elastic, allowing the taste buds to bloom in your mouth.
