The program "A Bite of Food" should be said to be the best among all domestic food programs. I think someone who can produce this kind of show should be a food lover himself. According to the director, they used the shooting techniques of martial arts dramas when filming the food. For example, when a chef is chopping vegetables or when food is cooking plants, the oil splashes are shot with a micro lens, which can highlight the cooking skills and the deliciousness of the food.
What impressed me the most was Yunnan’s Salt Bureau ham, Sichuan’s bean curd and Guizhou’s hairy tofu. The originally simple ingredients, under the photographer's lens, felt like magic, and finally turned into a very delicious delicacy.
For example, when making Yunnan salt-baked ham, you need to choose the most perfect pig leg. The perfect pig leg does not refer to the shape, but to ensure that the fatness of the pig leg is moderate. The selection process is not easy. You have to buy ham two or three months in advance to ensure that it can be done on time.
After you choose the perfect ham, cover it all with salt. These salts are different from those we see in the market. They are made with a special formula. Before making ham, they will make the salt into cubes. When making it, they will smash the salt cubes and spread them on the ham.
After spreading the salt, take the ham to a well-ventilated place to dry in the shade. Because the outside is covered with salt, you can’t tell whether the inside of the ham is cooked or not. Therefore, it is necessary to let an experienced master look at it to know the maturity of the ham. These ham masters have been engaged in this industry for decades, so they have rich experience. The cooked ham can be eaten directly after crushing the salt. Although I didn’t eat the ham, I felt very appetizing just looking at it.
Also, Sichuan's tofu has a strong impression. It feels very tender, which is different from the tofu in our north. When eating, mix it with chili oil and chives, making it tender and smooth.
The most impressive thing about hairy tofu is its production process. Ordinary tofu grows pili after fermentation, and the sunlight shines on the pili, which is really beautiful.
