Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Ji Yunruo picked up a fried dough stick and started to enjoy his breakfast.

The surface of the fried dough sticks is golden and crispy. With just a little force, the fluffy fried dough sticks can be split in half from the middle into two thinner dough sticks.

At this time, the fried dough sticks have a layer of golden color all over, and only the sections where they were originally adhered show a slightly yellowish white softness.

Ji Yunruo took a bite of one end of the fried dough stick and chewed it slowly.

The fried dough sticks made a crisp "clicking" sound under the slight exertion of the girl's teeth. When you bite into it, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a bit of chewiness.

The chewy texture comes from the soft white interior of the dough sticks.

During the frying process, the baking soda component in the fried dough sticks is decomposed by heat and produces carbon dioxide, which quickly props up the dough that has become softer through the fermentation process, and the internal structure also becomes fluffy.

The outside of the fried dough sticks is in direct contact with the high-temperature hot oil. Under the action of the hot oil, a series of frying reactions occur, becoming golden, crispy and rich in flavor. However, the inner part is extremely loose and has no contact with the hot oil. It is formed by the pores one by one.

The hot air is heated to produce a steaming-like effect.

Therefore, under the crispy surface of the fried dough sticks, the texture inside is somewhat like steamed dough.

This kind of dough tightens again during the chewing process, and the taste given to Ji Yunruo gradually changes from the initial fluffy to chewy. This chewiness, combined with the crispy outer surface of the fried dough sticks, forms a wonderful new texture.

experience.

The unique slightly alkaline flavor of the fried dough sticks slowly enters the mouth during the chewing process.

This has to mention another product after the decomposition of baking soda.

Sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash.

Soda ash cannot be used in large quantities, and is only added in small amounts in some cooking situations. Its own taste is slightly bitter, but when added to the dough, it can effectively remove the sour taste of the dough itself and add flavor and texture to the dough.

The two products of baking soda decomposed by heat can make the dough fluffier, and the other can improve the taste of the dough, so it is added to many foods that use flour.

After taking only one bite, Ji Yunruo was completely immersed in the wonderful taste. There was a crunching sound like nibbling, and half of the fried dough stick in her hand completely entered her stomach.

"Yeah!" Ji Yunruo suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another way to eat fried dough sticks.

Fortunately, there are still two and a half fried dough sticks left on the plate, so you can try another way to eat them: eat them with soy milk.

But before that, let’s try what soy milk tastes like?

Soy milk is one of the intermediate products for making tofu. The purest soy milk can be made by soaking soybeans and then grinding them with water. Tofu is obtained by brine-ing the tofu and pressing out the water on the basis of soy milk.

Therefore, Douluo Continent, which already has the process of making tofu with brine, must have soy milk, but there are relatively few people who drink soy milk alone.

As for the reason, Qi Han finally understood it after carefully asking the middle-aged boss who sold breakfast during the food festival.

In Douluo Continent, soy milk is called bean paste. Because less water is added during the grinding process, this bean paste is more viscous. Moreover, due to different steps such as soaking, the bean paste has a very strong beany smell.

Taste, few people will drink it directly.

The so-called beany smell in soybeans is actually the natural smell in soybeans.

The method of cutting off raw meat is also suitable for removing the beany smell.

Therefore, before the soaked soybeans are used to grind the soybean milk, you only need to boil the soybeans in water to break them. This beany smell can be completely eliminated and will not be introduced into the soybean milk.

Douluo Continent’s bean paste is missing this key link, so it has become unpopular.

This was Ji Yunruo's first time to taste this kind of drink called soy milk. She first brought her mouth and nose close to the mouth of the bowl, feeling the rich bean flavor without any hint of beany smell entering her nose, and then took a careful sip.

The soy milk has no sugar added and does not have much sweetness, but the taste is slightly thick in the mouth. The mellow bean flavor fills the mouth and nose the moment the soy milk is entered. The wonderful feeling makes Ji Yunruo squint his eyes slightly and enjoy it.

Hmm...let's put some sugar in it.

Although soy milk without sugar is already very delicious, Ji Yunruo still prefers sweets.

She picked up the small bowl on the side, used a small spoon to scoop up the fine snow-like white sugar in the bowl, put it into the soy milk, and then slowly stirred the soy milk twice with a spoon.

The soft white sugar crystal lattice is extremely slender, and it completely dissolves and disappears as soon as it is dropped into the soy milk. After a few stirs, it is completely even, which is particularly convenient.

After adding about two spoons, Ji Yunruo picked up the soy milk again and took a sip.

Hmm! It’s much sweeter now.

While the hint of sweetness was sweet to the bottom of my heart, the mellow bean flavor seemed to become more delicious. He took another sip with unsatisfied taste, and then Ji Yunruo remembered that he wanted to try the second way of eating fried dough sticks.

She picked up the remaining half of the fried dough stick on the dinner plate, carefully tore it into finger-length pieces, and then put it into the soy milk.

Pick up a pair of chopsticks and press it gently a few times, so that the small pieces of fried dough sticks floating on the surface of the soy milk sink into the soy milk, and small bubbles pop out from the two sections of the fried dough sticks.

After counting silently in his mind, Ji Yunruo hurriedly picked up the fried dough sticks in the soy milk and put it into his mouth.

As mentioned in the instructions on how to eat it, you should not soak these fried dough sticks for too long, otherwise they will melt directly in the soy milk and the texture will not be that delicious.

As small bubbles are squeezed out of the fried dough sticks, the inside of the fried dough sticks has already been filled with the mellow and sweet soy milk. With just one bite, the soy milk splashes out from the gaps inside the fried dough sticks, with a rich bean flavor.

The fragrance that covered the deep-fried dough sticks for a moment overflowed between Ji Yunruo's lips and teeth.

After being soaked in soy milk, the fried dough sticks have become softer overall. The outer skin is no longer so crispy that it crackles, but it has a bit more chewiness, giving it a completely new texture when chewed. As for the original chewy inside,

After being soaked in soy milk, it becomes completely soft and glutinous, almost melting in your mouth. The full and full bean flavor becomes more abundant with chewing, and the aroma of the fried dough sticks itself is integrated into it.

So delicious!

Ji Yunruo's eyes widened, and a pair of black cat ears with silver tips couldn't help but pop out from the top of his head.

Hmm…

Her face immediately turned red.

Obviously after staying in Hanshi for a long time, cat ears don’t come out so easily...

At this moment, Ji Yunruo seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and then the other two fried dough sticks were not spared. She tore them into small pieces and soaked them in soy milk bit by bit before eating them.

Obviously, among the two ways to eat it, Ji Yunruo prefers the second one.

After finishing the fried dough sticks, there was still some soy milk left in the bowl. Because the soy milk had been used to soak the fried dough sticks, there were traces of oil on the surface under the light, but it did not make it look greasy at all. Instead, it made Ji Yunruo

There is more of an urge to drink it all.

Touching his already full belly, Ji Yunruo picked up the soy milk and drank it in one gulp, feeling the greasy taste quietly dissolving in the mellow bean aroma, and the original mellow bean aroma became a bit more like fried dough sticks after soaking in the fried dough sticks.

The fragrance creates another wonderful fusion.

"Hiccup~"

After drinking the soy milk in the bowl, Ji Yunruo had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Breakfast is great!
