Chapter 159 Kitchen King Festival? (seeking subscription)

"The reason for offering stove candy to the stove is to stick to the mouth of the stove god. Legend has it that the stove god was sent by the Jade Emperor to the world to supervise the god of good and evil. Responsibilities. When it went to heaven, people offered it candy, hoping that it had eaten sweets and had good words in front of the Jade Emperor. Some people also said that the candy used for offering sacrifices to the stove is not sticking to the mouth of the Stove Lord, but sticking to the mouth. A good thing, the mouth of the gossip-loving Grandma Zao Jun.”

"In order not to waste food, we make edible stove candy, which is mainly crispy. Good stove candy melts in the mouth and tastes quite good, but the taste of maltose is very sweet, which is not suitable for the elderly. "

Studio.

"Anchor, yesterday it wasn't Lord Stove King, why did it say grandma Stove King again today?"

"Yeah, why am I confused?"

"This legend is quite interesting, it feels very down-to-earth..."

"Seal your mouth with sugar, whoever came up with this method, it's really smart!"

"To put it bluntly, this Stove King Festival is nothing more than a legend. There are different opinions on the exact reason."

"In fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. The Chinese New Year is meant to be lively and auspicious. Although the origin of these festivals that MLM loves come from can no longer be remembered, I think that thanks to these festivals that have been handed down, the Let the year have a 'new year'."

While Li Yuan was speaking, the stove had already been set on fire.

It's still the old rule, Li Yuan cooks delicious food, and briquettes help fuel the fire.

Because Li Yuan was alone, he didn't buy many raw materials.

"It's actually not difficult to make maltose. The main ingredient is sesame. As long as the temperature of the sesame is well controlled, the taste of the product will basically be unmistakable."

"Everyone can learn while I'm doing it, go home and make some maltose, honor the Stove Lord, and let him say something nice to us in front of the Jade Emperor."

After Li Yuan cleaned the pot, he had already poured the sesame seeds he bought from the street into the pot.

Studio.

"Anchor, did you forget to wash the sesame seeds?"

"The sesame seeds are not washed!"

"It's too dirty after doing this? You don't even wash it!"

"Doesn't the anchor need to wash sesame seeds to make maltose? Isn't that too dirty?!"

Li Yuan smiled and explained to the netizens on the live broadcast.

"Actually, the sesame seeds themselves are not as dirty as you might think, and you can leave them unwashed. And after frying, almost all the dust will be fried off."

"But if you don't mind, you can wash it, but the smell will be worse."

"When frying sesame seeds, you don't need to add any seasoning or oil to the pot, just dry fry the sesame seeds directly. If you wash the sesame seeds, you will slowly fry the moisture of the sesame seeds at the beginning. Wait for a while Over time, the sesame itself will begin to change, its color will become more and more yellow, and its own moisture will gradually decrease.”

At this time, Li Yuan was using a small fire, constantly stirring with a spoon, and within a short time, he saw that the sesame seeds in the pot had gradually changed color.

Li Yuan watched the sesame seeds in the pot change color, and then continued: "As it is now, when the sesame seeds are already yellow in color, and you can feel the oil coming out of them, then you can get out of the pot."

At this time, the aroma of sesame seeds can be clearly smelled in the kitchen, and even the nuts are attracted.

Seeing the gluttonous look of the nuts, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile, grabbed a small handful of sesame seeds, and put them in the bowl of nuts. When the nuts saw it, they immediately began to taste the delicious food happily.

Seeing the happy look of the nut, Li Yuan couldn't help shaking his head and said: "This little guy, the weight has been getting heavier and heavier in the past two months. It seems that it's time to lose weight."

"After the sesame candies are fried, we can prepare the sesame candy syrup."

Li Yuan took out a water ladle, poured about 100 grams of water into the pot, mixed it with 30 grams of cooking oil, and poured in the white sugar used to make syrup.

"Attention everyone, don't put too much sugar, about 260 grams is enough, as long as the sugar is added to make the sesame candy aroma more intense."

"After adding the white sugar, add an equal amount of maltose. This maltose can also make the sesame candy not so hard."

"And after putting these two things in place, you can boil sugar over medium heat for a hundred years."

"Attention, the sugar in the pot will slowly melt during the fire. While waiting for the sugar to melt, you can gently turn it a few times. After a while, the sugar in the pot will boil, which is The sugar is boiled."

Li Yuan slowly turned the syrup in the pot and kept boiling it over medium-medium heat. After a few minutes, a lot of bubbles appeared in the pot.

"Everyone must keep an eye on the sugar when boiling the sugar, and watch the changes of the syrup all the time. When the sugar liquid in the pot slowly has such big bubbles, you can turn off the heat to a small one."

"Remember, just use a small fire to continue to boil slowly, not turn off the fire."

"Slowly, the bubbles in the pot will become smaller and the color will deepen. We must judge whether the sugar solution can condense quickly. Only when it condenses quickly can it condense sesame seeds into sesame candy."

Li Yuan kept his eyes on the syrup in the pot, then took out a chopstick and tested the syrup in the pot.

Insert the chopsticks into the sugar solution, and then quickly put it into the cold water.

"Look, everyone, the syrup is still a little soft now, so it needs to be boiled for a while. When the syrup can quickly solidify on the chopsticks, it proves that it has been boiled."

After another half a minute, the syrup had hung on the chopsticks and solidified.

"After cooking, you can turn off the fire now."

Li Yuan said to the briquettes: "Calballs, turn off the fire and don't need to fill it."

Sure enough, after Li Yuan finished speaking, he didn't know what method the briquettes used to extinguish the firewood, and the temperature in the pot also dropped slowly.

"After the sugar liquid is boiled, then pour the fried sesame seeds into the pot. After the sesame seeds enter the pot, pay attention, you must stir quickly at this time, otherwise the sesame sugar will be evenly coated with the sugar liquid. The sugar solution has already solidified."

I saw that Li Yuan's hands were very well-proportioned, quickly turning the sesame seeds and maltose evenly.

After mixing all the sesame seeds with the sugar solution evenly, Li Yuan took out the iron plate that had been prepared before, and covered it with a layer of greaseproof paper.

"Put it in a container. I use non-stick paper. If you don't have it, you can just put a layer of oil on it."
