Hardcore Chef Dad

When Su Kee opened for business, the customers who entered Su Kee did not notice that Chen Xu and Luo Yu became very busy in the back kitchen.

Chen Xu did not participate in the cooking of Su Ji's dishes tonight. Instead, he laid out various ingredients for making snacks on the counter in the corner of the kitchen, almost giving him everything he had learned from Master Bai An. Take it out, from kneading the dough to making the stuffing, everything is so smooth.

There are many varieties of Chinese dim sum, and the core of Chinese dim sum is lard.

The lard used by Su Ji is basically refined by himself.

And some processing will be done to remove some of the peculiar smell of lard, so that when making snacks, the snacks will become more fragrant.

Of course, in addition to lard, various sugars are also essential.

From crystallized rock sugar to granulated sugar, as well as soft white sugar, brown sugar, brown sugar, and honey that provide the same sweetness.

In fact, among Chinese snacks, different sugars are needed to make different snacks.

This may seem to be just a subtle difference, but the taste of the snacks will definitely be different.

Chen Xu stood in front of the desk. After thinking carefully for a while, the first snack he made for the children was Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

This is a very traditional Huaiyang cuisine dim sum.

It is also a snack that tests the craftsmanship of Master Bai An.

Starting from the dough, Thousand Layer Oil Cake is completely different.

Not young leaven, not big leaven, nor old leaven.

Thousand-layer oil cake is made of semi-fermented dough.

And there are many tricks in the word half.

Usually, a truly skillful chef can add at least 80 ounces of water to a pound of flour.

With so much water added to the flour, most people simply can't mix the flour into a dough.

The reason why kneading the dough for thousand-layer oil cake is called beating is because under normal circumstances, the dough cannot take in so much water, so it requires a lot of energy from the cook, and he has to keep trying, as if The mud-like dough smote on the chopping board.

This process is very time-consuming and also tests the ability of Master Bai An.

soon,

The sound of Chen Xu beating the dough shocked everyone in the kitchen and even attracted the attention of some guests in the restaurant outside.

Feng Yifan saw the three apprentices stretching their heads and looking at each other, even forgetting what they were doing.

He reached out and patted the disciples and said, What are you looking at? Do your job well. He is making thousand-layer oil cake.

The three apprentices were suddenly a little surprised, especially Ning Cheng who was meeting for the first time and couldn't help but ask: Master, is it so difficult to make the Thousand Layer Oil Cake and noodles?

Feng Yifan said with a smile: This is called water extraction. You need to add at least eight ounces of water to a pound of noodles. Without a certain amount of effort, if you were to do it, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to knead the flour into dough. Chen Xu is like this But you can only watch the real craftsmanship for the time being.

Shi Jiahui looked at it and couldn't help but sigh: As expected of the domestic dim sum master's apprentice, he is really amazing.

As the noise became louder and louder, the dining guests also noticed it.

A customer couldn't help but ask the waiter.

What on earth is the chef in the kitchen doing? It looks like he's beating the dough constantly. Why does he need such a big movement?

At this time, Quanjie got the opportunity to show off himself and introduced himself to the guests.

This in the back kitchen is the process of making Thousand Layer Oil Cake. This is the time when Master Bai An's skills are truly tested. Su Ji's young Master Bai An, you can tell from his skills that he is very powerful.

Many people who saw it for the first time stood up and craned their necks to get a closer look.

Many people couldn't help but sigh: It's so amazing. So this is how you make Thousand Layer Oil Cake?

Quan Jie continued: This is just the process of kneading the dough. For the dough of Thousand Layer Oil Cake, one pound of flour needs to be mixed with at least eight taels of water. That is not an ordinary and simple skill.

In fact, this is also the reason why Fu Jing Lou does not offer Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

The current back kitchen of Fu Jing Building is basically staff brought by Sun Mingxing, so there is no one who can make Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

Quan Jie also knew something about Thousand Layer Oil Cake, and knew that he couldn't do it just by making noodles.

It can be said that today is the first time Quan Jie has met someone in person.

When the water was finally poured into the dough, Chen Xu was already out of breath. This process was indeed very energy-consuming.

Then he needs to let the dough rise a little, and during this time he has to prepare some things.

Thousand-layer oil cake is not simply filled with pig head mixed with white sugar.

Thousand-layer oil cake should taste sweet and elegant, and the sweetness is naturally sugar and lard, but this elegant taste is not so easy to achieve.

If you want to make the thousand-layer oil cake taste unique, you must add diced pork suet marinated in soft white sugar.

Chen Xu had already prepared for this, but he never really had the chance to do it.

So today he finally had the opportunity to make a snack feast for the children. The first thing he thought of was making a Thousand Layer Oil Cake.

Because it takes time to make, when Chen Xu was making it, Luo Yu had already made some snacks for the children to fill their bellies with.

The dim sum made by Luo Yu is naturally Western style.

So the first snack she served to the children was a very beautiful little pudding with a layer of caramel on top.

Caramel pudding is not very novel, but Luo Yu followed the chef's suggestion and made each pudding smaller, and also added some juice to give the pudding a fruity flavor.

When Luo Yu's first little pudding was served, the three little girls immediately clapped their hands and applauded happily.

That's great.

Aunt Luo is so amazing.

Thank you Aunt Luo, this is so beautiful.

Luo Yu said with a smile: You will have a lot of snacks to eat tonight, so you three, don't be anxious and look forward to the snacks later.

Chen Xu continued to be busy, while Luo Yu made several more snacks for the children.

Each shape is very small, and the concept is also very unique.

For example, she uses gummy candies that children like to eat, melts them, adds juice and cream, and then uses molds to make some dishes.

This is also very interesting for little girls, as if they are eating vegetables.

After some small and simple snacks, Luo Yu also carefully made a special dessert for the children.

First, Luo Yu found strawberries, washed them and cut them into small cubes, put them in a blender, added some strawberry jam and pureed them together. In order to pursue a better color, Luo Yu also added some red dragon fruit.

Heat the beaten strawberry jam in a small pot and add some gelatine to it.

Next, whip the cream until it can hang on the whisk and form sharp peaks.

Then add the heated strawberry jam to the whipped cream in batches, and slowly stir evenly.

After finishing this part, Luo Yu made a white one using yogurt in the same way.

Then put the two parts into a piping bag respectively, find a mold, and then squeeze the two different colors of paste into the mold through the piping bag.

After the mold is completely filled, smooth the top surface, tap it lightly twice to make it even inside, and then put it in the refrigerator.

Put that in the refrigerator and wait for it to freeze and solidify, and it will turn into a piece of mousse.

At the same time, Luo Yu used a pot to add some milk to heat it, and added a little bit of chili pepper to the milk, just a very small amount. Finally, he added the chocolate to it, boiled it together, and beat out some Some bubbles are coming.

After the preparations were completed and the mousse in the refrigerator was completely formed, Luo Yu took it out from the refrigerator.

When Luo Yu took off the mold, Catherine, who happened to be passing by her, looked surprised.

Luo Yu, do you plan to use this piece of beef to make desserts for the children?

Hearing Catherine's surprised words, everyone in the kitchen looked over with great curiosity.

After everyone looked over, Luo Yu suddenly smiled proudly and said: Hahaha, it seems you have all been deceived. This is not actually beef. This is actually a dessert I made, but it is made of beef. Look, look at my snowflake pattern, does it look like top-grade Wagyu beef?

After Luo Yu said this, everyone came closer to observe carefully.

After taking a closer look, everyone was really surprised.

Because the mousse made by Luo Yu really looks exactly like a piece of beef.

If Luo Yu hadn't said anything, no one would have been able to tell that this was not beef.

Then she used a slightly heated knife to carefully trim the mousse, divided it into three parts, and placed them on three plates respectively. Then she gave the prepared chocolate sauce pretending to be black pepper sauce. Surround the mousse.

Don’t forget to use matcha powder as chopped parsley and garnish on the plate.

Seeing such a dessert, even Feng Yifan was amazed.

It's amazing. It seems that Luo Yu really surprised us all tonight. I didn't expect Luo Yu to have such creativity.

This time, even Hans, who was once a pastry chef, had to give Luo Yu a thumbs up.

This idea is great.

Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng looked closer and looked carefully. For a long time, neither of them dared to confirm that the steak-like thing in front of them was actually a piece of dessert.

Luo Yu smiled and said: Hahaha, this is actually a kind of pictographic dish.

Shi Jiahui said: No, this must be photographed and then let everyone see it.

Feng Yifan continued: I think this dessert can be added to the menu of our Ruo restaurant.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately agreed.

I agree, this can indeed be added.

You must join, this addition will definitely amaze everyone.

Hahaha, I'm afraid it will scare a lot of people, right?

…

The first thing that scared Luo Yu's dessert was the three little girls.

When this plate of desserts was delivered to the little girls, the three little girls were really shocked.

Feng Ruoruo looked at it again and again, and first said: No, this is not a snack.

Yang Xiaoxi said: Yes, this one is meaty.

Chen Yaofei had seen those top-quality Wagyu beef with her parents abroad, so she recognized it and said, This seems to be beef. It's the kind of particularly good beef.

At this time, Yang Zhiyi said: This should be Wagyu beef, right? Look at the snowflake pattern, it is still very good Wagyu beef.

Hearing Yang Zhiyi's words, Luo Yu, who came to deliver the food, couldn't help laughing.

So, Father Yang, what grade of wagyu do you think it should be?

Yang Zhiyi was unsure for a moment: I really can't tell this, but didn't we agree to serve snacks? How do you bring out the wagyu? And it's still raw beef. Is this going to be eaten raw as sashimi? ?”

Feng Yifan, who came to deliver the food, smiled and said, Let our three little darlings have a try.

The parents were full of suspicion.

Lu Cuiling even said: Please don't let your children eat randomly.

Feng Yifan said: Mom, don't worry. After your granddaughter eats it, you can ask her and I guarantee she will say it is very delicious.

Then, Feng Yifan bent down and asked the three little girls: Do you three dare to try it?

When asked this question, the three little girls looked at each other, and then said in unison: Dare.

Feng Yifan smiled and gave the little girls a thumbs up: It's great, then you three can try it together.

Then, the three little girls also used small spoons and were ready to taste it.

When Yang Zhiyi saw the children using spoons, he couldn't help but said: Do you eat this with a spoon? Don't you want to cut it with a knife?

Luo Yu suppressed a smile and said, It's okay, you can cut it with a spoon.

At this time, the parents of the three families looked puzzled. Some of them didn't understand what kind of dish this was.

Finally, the three little girls dug into the beef pieces on the plate with their spoons.

When the spoon dug up, the little girls dug out a piece at once.

At this moment, the parents who were watching were all surprised.

The three little girls carefully put a small piece of the spoon into their mouths together.

After the entrance, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei instantly smiled on their faces.

After the three little girls ate it, they all said in unison: It's delicious, it's sweet, it's a snack.

The grandparents and Yang's father were shocked to hear what the little girls said.

Feng Yifan asked Luo Yu to reveal the answer at this time.

Luo Yu smiled and said: This is not actually beef, it is just a piece of strawberry mousse cake, but I made it look like beef.

Then Luo Yu pointed to the sauce on the plate and said, As for this black pepper sauce? It's actually made of chocolate, and this thing that looks like chopped parsley, I used matcha powder instead.

Hearing this explanation, the eyes of the grandparents and Yang Zhiyi widened.

At this time, the three little girls were already scooping up the food, letting their grandparents and Yang Zhiyi have a taste.

After tasting the taste, everyone finally understood that it was indeed a dessert.

But after knowing the truth, the girls were even more shocked.

If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes and tasted it with your own mouth, who would have thought that desserts could be made like this?
