Food starts with noodles

Xu Zhuo nodded, and went out to the kitchen to start working.

The little girl sat in her seat, a little surprised.

It must be that he said he wanted to eat it last time, and then he secretly learned it from Grandpa Zhao, and he still refused to say it.

Hmph, old lady, I have already guessed your mind, don't even think about escaping from my palm in this life.

Excited, this girl started her self-strategy again.

Xu Zhuo came to the kitchen and found a few red stubble sweet potatoes from the warehouse, peeled them first, then sliced ​​them into the steamer, and steamed them over high heat.

The sweet potato chips need to be steamed thoroughly before they can be used, so don't be in a hurry.

Having nothing to do, Xu Zhuo looked at the remaining sweet potatoes and said thoughtfully, "How about making some dessert?"

He has now mastered the technique of sticking sugar, no matter whether it is honey glaze glaze or silk sugar color, he can easily grasp it.

Everyone in the kitchen is busy at the moment, if I don't do something, I always feel a little out of place.

But what about dessert?

There are not many dishes related to sweet potatoes, but there are several kinds of Chinese dishes.

Such as shredded sweet potatoes, honey sweet potatoes, sweet potato balls, sweet potato cakes and so on.

But Xu Zhuo didn't want to do these things.

Because these kinds of sweet potato-related desserts are either very common, or they are too cold to eat, or they are too complicated.

He thought of another less common sweet potato dessert - anti sand sweet potato.

Fansha sweet potato is evolved from Fansha taro, a traditional Chaoshan delicacy.

This dessert is soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, with a sweet and savory taste.

Compared with the taro used in the original version, the sweet potato has more sweetness and fragrance, which is more suitable for the eating habits of northerners.

more importantly.

The recipe for this dish is very simple...

Chapter 611 Make it look like you can't afford it

The practice of anti-sand sweet potato consists of two main steps.

The first is frying. The sweet potatoes should be cooked and fried until the outside is charred and the inside is tender.

Although Xu Zhuo didn't have relevant skills, he was no stranger to bombing things.

And now a group of chefs in Xu's restaurant, if they just ask someone to check the heat, they won't let the frying step overturn.

In addition to frying, the rest is fried sugar.

This step is actually exactly the same as the sugar used in sugar-fried hawthorn, and it is also to coat the sweet potato with a layer of icing sugar.

It's just called differently.

For Xu Zhuo, this step is really simple.

He can make fried hawthorn with sugar, and even sweet potatoes with sand are not a problem.

He took the peeled sweet potato and began to cut it into pieces.

Cut the sweet potato into cubes and cut into long strips like French fries.

This is not only convenient to eat, but also easy to fry thoroughly.

But Boss Xu doesn't intend to take the usual path.

Because he felt that the appearance of cutting sweet potatoes into chips was a bit cheap.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like French fries bought from a fast food restaurant, not up to the grade at all.

It's hard to do it once by yourself, and you have to leave a deep impression on everyone.

After all, human settings depend on maintenance.

Therefore, this time, he plans to make the anti-sand sweet potato a bit more high-end.

What is high-end?

To put it bluntly, it is made to look unaffordable.

In fact, it is also very easy to do.

Cut the sweet potatoes into squares with a side length of [-] cm, and the sweet potatoes made will have a very high appearance.

It's not that this kind of four squares looks good, the main thing is that such squares are easier to pose.

The high-end shape can not only increase appetite, but also give people a sense of tallness.

Regardless of Chinese food or Western food, the price of a four-square dish is relatively high.

For example, dishes such as dense juice fire recipes in Zhejiang cuisine, Dongpo pork, and tofu boxes in Shandong cuisine are all very standard squares.

Would this shape be tastier?

Do not!

Yes it will be more expensive.

Sweet potatoes can be maximized by cutting them into French fries. Once cut into cubes, the utilization rate is greatly reduced.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, this is not the warehouse of Sifang Pavilion, and you don't have to pay for the ingredients.

To practice, you have to practice with other people's ingredients.

Even if it's ruined, it doesn't hurt.

Since becoming the master of the house, I have become more and more able to live.

……

Xu Zhuo soaked the cut sweet potato cubes in water, which could remove the starch in the sweet potato cubes and make the fried sweet potato cubes more crispy.

It can also prevent the oxidative discoloration of sweet potato pieces and affect the final color.

He took another five or six sweet potatoes from the warehouse, peeled and cut them into pieces one by one.

After soaking in water and washing it several times, set up the oil pan, pour in peanut oil, and start frying.

When frying sweet potatoes, the oil temperature should not be too high, because such sweet potato pieces are too large, and if the oil temperature is too high, they will not be fried through.

If it is cut into French fries, it will be fried in high-temperature hot oil until golden, and the inside can be fried through.

But if it is four squares, you have to put the sweet potatoes in the pan with warm oil.

This will ensure that the sweet potatoes are fried softly and thoroughly.

In addition, if you use warm oil, the color of the sweet potato pieces will be lighter.

In terms of color, it will give people a sense of luxury.

People unconsciously think of ingredients such as condensed milk and butter.

Since you want to make it look unaffordable, not only the shape must be high-end, but the color must also be taller.

That's why Xu Zhuo washed the sweet potato pieces several times just now.

If the sweet potato pieces are fried in warm oil, if the surface starch content is high, the sweet potato pieces will only be fried so soft that they will not be crispy at all.

When the oil was [-]% hot, Xu Zhuo poured the washed sweet potato cubes into the pot.

Fry slowly over medium heat.

Don't rush this step, take your time.

When frying, use a spoon to push gently in the pan.

This will prevent the sweet potato pieces from sticking together or sticking to the bottom of the pan.

After frying for a few minutes, the sweet potatoes in the pot gradually floated due to the loss of moisture.

When all the sweet potato pieces are floating on the oil surface, and the color of the surface is gradually turning yellow, it can be out of the pan.

When it comes out of the pan, put several layers of oil-absorbing paper on the tray, then use a strainer to fish out the sweet potato pieces, and carefully place them on the tray.

This can not only absorb the oil on the surface of the sweet potato, but also achieve the purpose of rapid cooling.

Then, Xu Zhuo started frying the sugar.

The method of this step is exactly the same as that of sugar-fried hawthorn.

Pour water into the pot, add sugar, and stir slowly.

The reason for choosing water is that the color of the sugar boiled with water is relatively white, especially after frosting, the white color looks more high-end.

After the white sugar in the pot melted, turn off the heat, and when the sugar juice in the pot gradually had a lot of bubbles, Xu Zhuo turned off the heat, and poured in the sweet potato cubes that had cooled down a little.

Then hold the pot and flip it quickly with a spoon, so that every piece of fried sweet potato can be dipped in sugar juice.

Just keep turning it until white icing appears on the surface of the sweet potato, and then it can be put out of the pan and served on a plate.

Xu Zhuo found a white porcelain plate, and was just about to put it in, when he suddenly found that the sweet potato cubes covered with icing sugar were also white, which somewhat did not match the white porcelain plate.

After thinking about it, he found a light blue square porcelain plate.

This kind of porcelain plate is generally used for placing tofu boxes.

Using tongs, Xu Zhuo carefully took out the sweet potato cubes covered with hoarfrost and placed them on the plate.

Using 36 pieces of sweet potatoes, they neatly arranged a big square on the bottom of the plate.

The four corners of this square are exactly in the middle of the four straight sides of the plate.

Follow this square and place one layer up, and the visual effect will come out immediately.

But it's not over yet, Xu Zhuo put the remaining pieces on top to form a small square.

Four blocks per floor, eight blocks in total.

This square is also staggered from the big square below.

After setting it up, Xu Zhuo put another piece on top.

Then put the remaining two pieces into your mouth and taste it. The mouth is sandy and sweet, the outer skin is crispy after a bite, and the sweet potato inside is soft and delicious, with a very strong sweet fragrance.

You're done!

He handed the food to the waiter and said, "Go, take it to the private room where my family eats on the second floor."

It took a long time to set up the shape just now, and the sweet potatoes should have been steamed by now.

So he couldn't deliver it upstairs himself.

I feel a little regretful.

But that's good too, this plate of anti-sand sweet potatoes should win a wave of praise.

It's a pity that the system does not have the function of collecting praise.

Otherwise, this plate of dessert will definitely receive a lot of compliments.

While thinking, he opened the door of the steaming cabinet, took out the steamed sweet potatoes inside, put them on the cutting board to cool down a bit, and then began to mash them with a kitchen knife.

Just as Boss Xu was busy mashing the sweet potatoes into mash, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding! The dishes made by the host have been well received by eight master chefs, and the host is specially rewarded for his Lu cuisine cooking skills—fuck, congratulations to the host!"

Xu Zhuo didn't react.

Depend on?

How does this dog system scold people?
