Chef Wang teaches you: Mapo Tofu, the authentic Sichuan way of doing it 麻婆豆腐【Cooking ASMR】
下面开始麻婆豆腐的技术总结
There is the technical summary of the Mapo Tofu:
第一，豆腐的种类不受限制，可以用嫩豆腐或者内脂豆腐
First, the type of tofu is not limited, you can use tender tofu or firm tofu
第二，加入传统制作的“刀口辣椒”可以使菜品辣而不燥，麻而不苦
Second, adding traditionally made knifed chili is a must for this dish, can make the dish spicy but not dry, hemp but not bitter
第三，离火勾芡的原理是，豆腐离火降温之后会有水份溢出，勾三次芡的目的是防止豆腐出锅后出水影响口感和卖相
Thirdly, adding starch water three times is the key to have a perfect sauce, it will cover every each tofu. The taste is incredible!
