Food starts with noodles

After speaking, Xu Zhuo went to the kitchen.
Cui Yong smacked his lips and said to Da Jiang, "Why do I like to play with Xu Zhuo? It's because this brother is real, and he will do whatever he wants to eat immediately. So I take Xu Zhuo's affairs as my own. Let's do it."
The two didn't drink today, and Da Jiang immediately understood the meaning of Cui Yong's words.
"Fuck off, don't give me eye drops here. I won't ask for a penny for the car he rents to deliver food after the year. What else do you want to say?"
Cui Yong quickly confessed: "Brother Jiang, sit down, brother, I'll get you a few sheep's hooves."
After finishing speaking, Cui Yong got up and picked up the goat's trotters for Jiang.
The two of them talking about cross talk outside made the waiters in the store all smiles, but the back kitchen was another scene.
Xu Zhuo quickly peeled the lotus root and soaked it in water.
Cut another piece of pork belly, finely chop it into meat stuffing, add minced green onion and ginger, salt, thirteen-spice light soy sauce and egg white, and finally add some cornstarch water, mix well and put it aside for marinating.
Then, Xu Zhuo began to cut lotus root.
This is also the hardest step in making lotus root clips...
Chapter 729 Tips Attached to Skills
The so-called lotus root clip is to cut a piece of lotus root in the middle, and you can add meat and fish fillings into it.
Then wrap it with the sauce and fry it in a frying pan. After frying, it is the lotus root clip.
Lotus root clips can be eaten directly, steamed or placed in stews.
The crispy lotus root sandwich that Xu Zhuo got was made by replacing the noodle juice on the outside of the lotus root clip. After frying, eat it while it is hot. Because the outer skin is more crispy, it got its name.
But after it cools down, the lotus root clip loses its crispy taste, and becomes no different from ordinary lotus root clip.
The most critical step in making lotus root clips is to cut the lotus root clips.
Theoretically speaking, put the lotus root on the chopping board and cut it every two or three millimeters. The first cut cuts to two thirds, and the second cut cuts the lotus root slices.
This cut out is the lotus root folder.
But theory is one thing, and practice is another.
Cutting lotus root clips is an operation that can truly be experienced by the brain but not by the hands.
You don't need to look at it, the brain can understand the steps just once.
But when cut up, it looks different.
Because raw lotus root is very astringent and hard when cut, it is very difficult to slice.
And the operation of cutting to two-thirds of the first cut is more difficult.
Unskilled people will either cut the bottom of the lotus root without paying attention, and the lotus root folder will become lotus root slices.
Either cut in half and dare not cut down, so that the meat can't be caught.
In fact, there is a trick to cutting lotus root clips.
As long as the peeled and washed lotus root is soaked in salt water for a while, it will be much easier to cut.
And soaking it in salt water can also prevent the lotus root from discoloring.
This trick is still given by skills.
If Boss Xu figured it out by himself, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out such a trick after working hard for a year.
Xu Zhuo took the lotus root out of the water, poured out the water in the hole of the lotus root, changed the salt water again, threw the lotus root in again, and even filled the hole inside.
Do not soak in salt water for too long, otherwise the salt will easily seep into the lotus root.
Just soak for a few minutes.
Xu Zhuo took the lotus root out of the salt water, emptied the water inside, and then put it on the chopping board to start cutting.
Although it was only soaked for a few minutes, the texture of the lotus root has changed significantly. Although it still feels a bit astringent when cut, it is much better than when it was not soaked in salt water.
The first cut cuts two-thirds of the way, and the second cuts off.
Xu Zhuo just repeated it like this, without missing a single time.
I could see that the new chefs who came next to me had a new understanding of the boss's craftsmanship.
When they first came, Xu Zhuo had never cooked or cut vegetables, so these people thought that Xu Zhuo was a cook who didn't practice his basic skills and directly cooked.
Now it seems that Xu Zhuo is not only good at cooking, but also good at knife skills.
No wonder he can be the boss, he must have put in a lot of sweat and stayed up for many nights.
When they were discussing in low voice, the corners of Boss Xu's mouth curled up and he smiled slightly.
I have indeed stayed up many nights before, and even all nights are countless.
But that's all playing games.
Cooking or something...
Do you still need basic liver skills to be forced?
After everything was cut, Xu Zhuo soaked these lotus root clips in water to wash off the starch on the surface of the lotus root.
Then take it out of the water, control the water and sprinkle raw powder on the surface of the lotus root.
Sprinkle the inside and outside of the lotus root folder.
This step is firstly to lock the moisture in the lotus root, and secondly is to absorb the moisture on the surface, so as to prevent the stuffing and batter from being unable to be filled later.
After everything was done, Xu Zhuo asked two helpers to fill it with marinated meat.
He went to prepare the whole egg batter for fried lotus root sandwiches.
The lotus root clips want to be fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In fact, it is best to use egg white batter, but the color of fried egg white batter is light, not as attractive as that of whole egg batter.
Therefore, most of the lotus root clips are hung with whole egg batter.
Put half of the batter and half of the starch in the bowl, then crack two eggs into it, add salt and a little five-spice powder, and stir to form a uniform batter.
As for the degree of thickness, dip it with your hands, and it will be fine if there are layers of folds in the basin.
Then, Xu Zhuo poured the whole custard into the basin with lotus root clips.
Stir a little, wait for the whole egg paste to wrap the lotus root clips, and start frying in the pan.
It happened that the frying pan that had just fried the ribs hadn't been removed, so Xu Zhuo heated up the oil and started frying in the frying pan.
For deep-fried lotus root, the oil temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will burn easily.
But it can't be too low. If the oil temperature is too low, the batter will spread.
[-]% hot oil temperature is just right.
The lotus root should not be put into the pan at the same time, but should be held with chopsticks and put into the oil pan one by one.
If there is a whole egg batter that has not been hung, it has to be hung again.
After putting everything into the oil pan, turn on the fire slightly to prevent the oil temperature from rising and causing the outer layer of batter to be fried.
Both the lotus root and minced meat are raw, so they should be fried on a low heat first, and then the oil temperature should be increased.
After the batter on the outside is fried to a golden brown, it can just come out of the pan.
There is another trick to judge whether the lotus root is ripe. When the lotus root is cooked, it will float on the oil surface, but the uncooked lotus root will not float because of its high specific gravity.
After taking the lotus root clips out of the pot, Xu Zhuo prepared another dish for dipping.
One is salt and pepper, and the other is spicy.
When Xu Zhuo brought out a large plate of crispy lotus root clips, Da Jiang, who was gnawing on the sheep's feet, immediately put down the sheep's feet in his hand. It wasn't too hot, so he stretched out his hand and squeezed one into his mouth.
"Huh... so hot! But this tastes good, the outer skin is very crispy, and the lotus root inside is a bit crispy, really good, so delicious..."
Cui Yong rolled his eyes at him: "Look at your unseen appearance..."
But after all, this did not delay Cui Yong's actions.
He picked up a lotus root clip with his chopsticks, dipped it in a salt and pepper plate, then put it in his mouth gently and took a bite.
"Well, the taste is really... really hot!"
He blew several times in succession before swallowing the lotus root in his mouth.
"It's delicious, Xu Zhuo. I'll pack some in a lunch box later. I'll bring some to your sister-in-law, as well as the pork ribs. She likes to eat this kind of fried food."
After drying for a while, Xu Zhuo began to taste.
The taste is really good, especially the layer of meringue on the outside. The crispy texture and the crispness of the lotus root inside are simply two kinds of enjoyment.
Dip in a little salt and pepper, the crispy and numb taste is really...
"Hey, what is this fried? Lotus root clip?"
Feng Weiguo leaned over, saw the lotus root clips on the plate, took a bite for himself.
Immediately, he gave Xu Zhuo a thumbs up: "It tastes really good. I'll make more later. I like it very much. By the way, Xiaozhuo, what shall we have for dinner tonight? Just tell me if you want to eat, and I'll let Shi Lei eat it." start preparing."
Xu Zhuo thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Sixi balls."
Chapter 730 New store test fifth ring
"Sixi meatballs are so troublesome. Why do you suddenly want to eat them? Let your grandpa make them for you when he's not busy. We don't have the skills."
Ever since he tried the boneless hairtail last time, Feng Weiguo has learned to be smart.
Absolutely can't compete with Xu Zhuo in cooking.
Because even if you win, you won't be honorable.
not to mention……
He hasn't won yet.
So now that he listened to Xu Zhuo's words, he wisely chose not to answer the question.
Well, you can make Sixi meatballs if you want.
Old Feng, I won't play with you anymore.
His reaction made Boss Xu, who was ready to make Sixi meatballs, a little...
Caught off guard.
Fortunately, I didn't go straight down.
Otherwise, it will really overturn.
Since Feng Weiguo knew that he was a visiting professor, it was obviously not easy to be deceived.
Is this...
IQ rises on happy occasions?
But Boss Xu is not in a hurry.
Anyway, the skills are in hand, just find the right time to make them.
He doesn't plan to launch it in Sifang restaurant now, but plans to use Sixi meatballs as the main dish of Sifang restaurant.
Sifang Restaurant and Sixi Balls are all from the four-character generation, and they are highly recognizable.
Let’s talk about home-made dishes, which are the kind that not many people order, but when everyone mentions this dish, they immediately think of the store that makes this dish.
After eating two lotus root clips, Xu Zhuo suddenly remembered that he hadn't read the mission of the fifth ring.
Taking advantage of being free, he entered the system and took a good look at the tasks of the fifth ring.
Task name: The test of the new store ([-])
Task details: Ask the host to open Sifang Restaurant within one month.
