Food starts with noodles

Feng Weiguo pouted helplessly.

This kid is more and more like Brother Xu.

It's not that Xu Zhuo is indifferent, the main reason is that he really doesn't know how to make cumin powder.

They are sold in supermarkets, but Xu Zhuo has never bought that kind of cumin powder.

If you want this stuff to be delicious, it's better to make it yourself.

Seeing that Feng Weiguo really planned to do it himself, Xu Zhuo moved over.

"Is cumin powder easy to make?"

Since he wants to do it, he should just follow along and learn.

While preparing the ingredients, Feng Weiguo said: "It's very simple. Just dry the ingredients in a pot and grind them into powder. You can choose to add salt or not, and just add a little bit of other spices. Take away the taste of cumin."

It's easy to say, but after actually doing it, Xu Zhuo found the difficulty.

Cumin seeds are too easy to paste.

The temperature in the pot is slightly too high, and the original blue cumin seeds will change color rapidly.

If Feng Weiguo hadn't been so experienced and quickly removed the pot from the stove, half of the cumin seeds in the pot would have been mushy.

Except for the heat, the steps of making cumin powder are really not troublesome.

First put salt into the pot, then put a few peppercorns and star anise, then put two bay leaves, stir-fry for 2 minutes on low heat, and then pour in cumin seeds.

After the cumin grains gradually change color, the cumin powder is done.

Wait until it cools down and grind it into powder. This cumin powder with salt is done.

Now that three kinds of seasonings have been prepared, Xu Zhuo looked at the dryer. The vegetables inside have become dry on the outside, but the inside is still a little soft.

It will take about two hours to dry completely.

Being idle, Xu Zhuo planned to cut the potato slices first.

Potato chips are the main ingredients for making potato chips. If you want potato chips to be delicious, you need to work harder when cutting potato chips, and try to cut the potato chips as thin as possible.

And not only to cut thin, but also to cut evenly.

If the thickness is uneven, it is easy to appear the embarrassing phenomenon that some have been fried and some have not been fried.

Of course, if you are not confident in knife skills, you can also use slicing tools.

For example, the multi-functional grater has a special blade for scraping thin slices.

It can scrape thin slices that make chefs envious.

But for Boss Xu, it wasn't necessary.

His knife skills are already at the proficient level, and the cutting skills in the knife skills have reached the high-quality level, which is much better than ordinary chefs.

So cutting thin slices does not feel any pressure to Boss Xu.

There is no problem with cutting evenly.

Peel the potatoes first, then wash them.

Then Xu Zhuo took the slicing knife and started to slice the potatoes.

Chapter 463 Potato Chips

Xu Zhuo planned to fry more fried chicken rolls because he wanted to get them out.

He cut more than a dozen catties of potato slices, and didn't stop until he couldn't fit in the basket.

These slices are about a millimeter thick, making them perfect for crisps.

And the thickness is uniform, almost every piece has the same thickness.

After cutting the potato slices, Xu Zhuo brought a large basin, filled it with half a basin of clean water, poured all the potato slices into it, and soaked it.

Potatoes contain a lot of starch, and the starch should be soaked out as much as possible, otherwise the potatoes will not be easy to fry.

After finishing these tasks, Xu Zhuo strolled outside.

Yu Keke opened another bag of potato chips and watched anime on her phone while eating.

"Have you eaten potato chips all day?"

Xu Zhuo walked over, involuntarily grabbed a handful of potato chips from the bag, sat aside and ate them.

As soon as this little girl was mentioned, she became a little angry: "You said you were going to make potato chips for me, but I waited from morning to afternoon, and there was no sign of potato chips. Panpan and Li Hao couldn't wait to go out and play."

This weekend, everyone is quite free.

At noon, when I heard that Xu Zhuo was going to make potato chips, everyone waited patiently.

As a result, there was no sign of potato chips until now, so now everyone has left the store and went to find a place to play, only Yu Keke is still waiting foolishly.

The foodie attributes are fully exposed.

Xu Zhuo stuffed the potato chips in his hand into his mouth: "The main reason is that the seasoning is too time-consuming, just wait, before dark, you will definitely be able to eat potato chips."

Just after finishing speaking, Da Jiang suddenly opened the door and walked in with several people.

"Brother, hurry up and ask those delivery guys to ride back the car, we really found out the problem..."

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he had forgotten about this at first, but now he realized it when he saw Da Jiang.

All in all, yesterday was the day when the task was completed in ten days.

So there may be a problem with the car today.

Unexpectedly, Da Jiang was actually detected.

Xu Zhuo asked, "Is it serious?"

Da Jiang shook his head: "No, it's just that there is something wrong with the brake cable. Just replace it. The manufacturer issued a new batch of brake cables. I brought them all. You can ask the deliveryman to ride the car back. It's just for the car. Do a maintenance."

This is not the time for food delivery, and the delivery staff are basically studying at school.

Xu Zhuo asked Zheng Jia to notify them to come over, and told them to be careful when riding.

In just ten minutes, all the takeaway staff arrived on electric scooters.

Da Jiang took a few workers out without saying a word, and began to replace the brake lines.

By the way, check the front and rear tire pressure and battery usage of the car, and then give the car a maintenance.

Now that the problem has been solved, the big stone in Xu Zhuo's heart finally fell to the ground.

He came to the back kitchen and looked at the potato chips soaking in the basin.

After soaking, the potato chips have become a lot translucent.

Xu Zhuo took out the potato slices, washed them again, and then prepared to boil the potato slices.

There were too many potato chips, so Xu Zhuo directly used a large pot.

If you want potato chips to be delicious, you can't skip this step.

This will remove as much starch as possible from the potato chips.

Of course, simple cooking is not enough, it requires certain skills.

After the water boiled, Xu Zhuo poured half a spoonful of peanut oil into the pot, and added a handful of salt.

Give the pan a stir with a spoon, then toss in the potato slices.

Turn on the high heat and continue to cook. After the water in the pot boils again, cook for about 2 minutes. When the potato slices in the pot become transparent, turn off the heat and take out the pot, and remove the potato slices.

Because if you cook too hard, the potato chips will become soft and waxy and cannot be fried.

Put half a basin of clear water in the large basin, and directly scoop the boiled potato slices into it.

This will not only cool the potato chips, but also make the potato chips crispy.

After frying, the potato chips will be more crispy.

Next, it's time to fry.

Put the oil pan on the shelf, pour in peanut oil, and start to burn with high heat.

When the oil was hot, Xu Zhuo took a look at the ingredients in the dryer.

At this moment, the tomato slices, onion shreds, and garlic slices are completely dry. When you hold them in your hands, even if you break them open, there is no place where they are soft.

Ready for grinding.

Xu Zhuo first took out the shredded onion, put it on the chopping board and cut it a little bit, then put it into the grinder, added two spoons of fried salt, and started grinding.

After the three seasonings are ground, the oil in the pot is almost [-]% hot.

Xu Zhuo used a strainer to scoop up the potato slices in the basin into the basket, shake them vigorously a few times to get rid of the water droplets on the potato slices as much as possible, then put them into the pot for frying.

The oil temperature of the fried potato chips should not be too high, no [-]% heat is fine.

If it is too hot, the hot oil will quickly dry the outside of the potato chips, preventing the water inside from dispersing and affecting the quality of the potato chips.

And if the oil temperature is too high, it is easy to fry.

Potato chips require patience and slow frying.

The moisture in the potato chips is gradually fried from the inside to the outside, so that the potato chips are crispy and delicious, and they are not easy to soften.

There were too many potato chips, and they couldn't be fried all at once, so Xu Zhuo scooped them up with a large strainer, and now the frying pan was full of potato chips.

Use a spoon to push down on the bottom of the pan to keep the potato chips from sticking to the bottom, and at the same time, stir up any sticky potato chips.

Then forget about it and let the potato chips fry slowly in the oil pan.

The potato chips are not done until the potato chips in the pot curl and harden and make a crisp sound when touched with a spoon.

Xu Zhuo turned up the heat, waited until the potato slices in the pot gradually turned golden, and then took a strainer to fish out the floating potato slices in the pot.

After controlling the oil, put it in a basket lined with oil-absorbing paper.

After all are taken out, cover with a piece of oil-absorbing paper to absorb as much oil as possible from the potato chips.

If the potato chips have too much oil, they will taste greasy.

So after cooking, be sure to use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil on the potato slices.

After the temperature on the surface of the potato slices dropped and the oil disappeared, Xu Zhuo changed another basket, put oil-absorbing paper on it again, and poured the potato slices into it.

Then take the seasoning jar with salt and pepper and start sprinkling the seasoning.

After sprinkling one side, take the basket and shake the potato slices inside, and then sprinkle some seasoning powder.

Even if the potato chips are ready.

Xu Zhuo brought out the basket of potato chips for the little girl to taste, and then went into the kitchen to start the second pot of frying.

The little girl had just finished eating a whole bag of potato chips, and her stomach was a little full at the moment, and she was somewhat nauseated when she saw the potato chips.

But Xu Zhuo fried it specially for her, so even though she couldn't eat it, the little girl squeezed a piece and tasted it.

As a result, I was conquered by these potato chips!

"Oh my god, it's so delicious! Sister Jiajia, come and taste the love potato chips he made for me. It's even more delicious than delicacies from mountains and seas!"

Zheng Jia: ...

Chapter 464 Zheng Jia's Counterattack

"Sister Jiajia, what's the matter with you? Come and eat."

The little girl didn't care about Zheng Jia's face at all, and enthusiastically asked her to eat.

Zheng Jia sighed helplessly, comforting herself in her heart.

"People are sending money, so you have to hold back."
