The second step of thickening is to bind the various flavors together.
The third step in thickening the sauce is what gives Mapo Tofu its final flavor profile—spicy, crispy, fragrant, tender, and perfectly cooked!
The ultimate flavor of Mapo Tofu comes from seven ingredients combined!
As the green garlic sprouts fell from Qingye's hand, the entire dish in the pot turned a golden color!
Serve and sprinkle with Sichuan peppercorn powder.
Spicy, crispy, fragrant, tender, and whole-cooked.
A Sichuan dish that shines brightest—Mapo Tofu with eight flavors in one!
"That light..."
Senzaemon Nakiri looked at the golden hue emanating from the gap in the curtain and couldn't help but stand up and swallow hard.
Dojima Gin was puzzled as to why.
Aoba had already brought out the food.
Instantly.
The entire izakaya was bathed in this golden light.
"this..."
"Isn't this some kind of magic?"
Dojima Gin stood there, stunned.
I can't imagine any description that can adequately describe this dish.
Qingye chuckled, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Enjoy your Mapo Tofu, Jiu."
Chapter 127 The Temperamental Tornado! Thor, you'll definitely be a wonderful mother in the future!
Glowing food.
This wasn't the first time Nakiri Senzaemon had seen him.
But compared to the golden fried rice last time, this Mapo Tofu is even more explosive in terms of color, aroma and taste!
The aroma alone from the preparation of this dish was enough to make his clothes explode.
With this level of skill, Aoba is practically at the pinnacle of all chefs when it comes to food!
While other chefs were still fighting tooth and nail over the taste and presentation of their dishes, Aoba had already surpassed them and reached a completely unimaginable height.
That is... the pinnacle of culinary arts!
Even Senzaemon Nakiri, the Demon King of Food, is like this.
Dojima Gin, standing next to him, was already trembling with astonishment, and his expensive suit was instantly undone.
On his rugged, angular face, two lines of tears kept streaming down his face.
"This... is already art!"
Art?
Maybe.
Seeing the two of them standing there in a daze, Aoba smiled helplessly.
Perhaps luminous cuisine is enough to shatter all previous understandings of the culinary world.
However, after his cooking skills improved to the point of being able to handle 1v5 situations, "670" Aoba gained a clearer understanding of his culinary abilities.
Whether it's the ingredients, cooking methods, heat control, knife skills, etc., these are all essential details that embody culinary artistry.
It's still a combination of the five basic flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.
He was simply standing on the shoulders of giants.
Glowing food is merely a manifestation of emotions infused into dishes; it does not represent any innovation in culinary techniques.
That [迩蹴;柒瘤疑散芭溜玥漪 is only about the chef's heart.
Even after her cooking skills improved, Aoba was even more impressed by her master's culinary skills in his previous life.
That top-level chef who prepares state banquets may have already surpassed the evaluation system for master chefs.
Even if he mastered all the recipes, he still couldn't reach his master's level.
There's still so much I need to learn...
Aoba walked back to the bar in silence, the old man's face appearing in her mind stirring up ripples of memories.
"silver."
"General Commander."
"Try it..."
The elderly woman with silver hair was the first to pick up her chopsticks, no longer caring about the tattered kimono she was wearing.
Before him, it seemed there was only this glowing dish that stimulated his saliva production.
Dojima Gin stared at the food in silence for a long time before finally uttering a word:
"...good."
The two men trembled as they used their chopsticks to pick up a whole piece of Mapo Tofu from the plate.
The tofu was very springy, coated with a bright red, glistening sauce.
There's also a thin layer of Sichuan peppercorn powder on top.
Looking at the Mapo Tofu, which resembled a work of art, the two of them simultaneously picked up a piece of it and swallowed hard.
Then, with an unusually serious expression, he put it in his mouth.
Bang!
Bang bang! !
Two explosions rang out simultaneously inside the store.
Kanna, who was frantically swallowing her saliva at the bar, heard the noise and was about to turn around when Aoba covered her eyes.
"Kanna, don't look! Kids will get styes if they do."
Aoba helplessly covered Kanna's eyes.
"Aoba-sama, Kanna wants some too."
Upon hearing Aoba's voice, Kanna turned around and hugged Aoba in her childish voice, rubbing against his thigh frantically.
Thor, who was hiding behind Aoba, also covered his eyes with his hand, and then touched Thor's head with his green dragon horn:
"Kanna~, I told you not to cause trouble for the store manager."
"Lord Tohru is bad... Lord Aoba!"
"No! Without Kanna's help, you can't just order whatever you want. Even the manager wouldn't agree."
"Woooooo~"
The sight of the two dragon girls arguing and circling around Aoba made her feel a kind of happy trouble.
He quickly pressed down on the two dragon girls, gently rubbing their heads, one in each hand.
"Thor, if Kanna likes it, I made a little extra."
It's just Mapo Tofu, after all.
Thor heard this.
She quickly grabbed Qingye's hand, which was rubbing her head, to stop her from moving, her face flushed as she expressed her firm stance:
"Absolutely not! If the store manager spoils Kanna like this, she'll develop bad habits."
"Huh?! It's just eating a dish, won't it lead to bad habits?"
"Being a dragon is absolutely unacceptable; food must be earned through one's own labor!"
Thor's attention to Kanna's upbringing was comprehensive.
In their world, because of Kanna's parents, Thor is often Kanna's primary guardian.
Therefore, the relationship between the two dragon girls is more like that of both an older sister and a mother.
This allowed this tens of thousands-year-old underage dragon girl, who has never experienced love or marriage, to experience the joy of raising children ahead of time.
Faced with Thor's firm opposition, Aoba was at a loss for what to do.
But the little girl's pitiful, tearful appearance was truly heartbreaking.
"Kanna will help Lord Aoba!"
The little girl seemed to have made up her mind and shouted loudly at Thor.
"But I didn't see Kanna do anything."
"I... Waaah~"
Seeing Kanna crying, Aoba had no choice but to step forward.
He knelt down and gently wiped away Kanna's round tears, chuckling softly:
"If Kanna is willing to help, I have a great idea!"

"Irahi aimasi~" (For super exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The shop door was pushed open again.
The sweet, childlike welcome made Tatsumaki's eyes widen as she entered.
Especially when he saw Kanna's big, red eyes and tear stains on her nose, his entire body erupted with terrifying psychic power.
"Damn it, Aoba!!!"
You've even hired child laborers, haven't you?
