Food starts with noodles

Kidney bean rolls made the family very satisfied and happy, especially the two old ladies. This authentic Beijing snack made them feel like they were young.

In the next two days, Yu's family left the provincial capital and drove back to Yangzhou. Before leaving, Yu Peiyong had made an appointment with Xu Zhuo to let him go to Yangzhou for the Lantern Festival, and he happened to go to Yangzhou University after the festival to complete the procedures for visiting professors. .

The youngest visiting professor of Yangzhou University, this title will definitely keep Xu Zhuo on the hot searches for a while.

But this time, there should be a lot of controversy, because people who don't understand the rules of visiting professors will think that it's nonsense to call a young man a professor indiscriminately.

but.As a man who is often found in hot searches, Boss Xu doesn't care about these things at all. At that time, someone should teach those boring netizens what a guest professor is.

After the Yu family left, the Xu family also returned to their usual state. The old man stayed at home with the old lady, Chen Guifang went to work in the company, and Xu Wenhai stayed at the Xu family restaurant.

Because Zheng Jia didn't have a holiday, Lao Meng didn't go home for the New Year this year, but stayed with Zheng Jia.

But he is also a celebrity anchor anyway, and he is one of the few food and broadcasters, so during the Spring Festival, he is almost rushing to do live broadcasts such as shop visits, and he has earned a lot of money.

However, compared with the goal of buying a car, buying a house and marrying Zheng Jia, it is still not enough, so Lao Meng doesn't care much about the Spring Festival, and everything is about making money.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Lao Meng had a rare leisure time, so he strolled to Sifang Restaurant.

But today, he didn't come here to eat and drink, nor to accompany Zheng Jia, but to have a mission.

"Xu Zhuo, is this kidney bean roll worthy of advertising in the live broadcast room? The donkey rolling in your store hasn't been advertised yet. This stuff is very profitable?"

Lao Meng was a little surprised, he thought Xu Zhuo was going to promote some big dishes again, so he ran over early in the morning, and it turned out to be a small dessert like kidney bean rolls.

But he was right, the profit of this thing is indeed quite high, especially after Chen Guifang helped purchase white kidney beans, and the back kitchen also started assembly line operation, the efficiency and profit have increased a bit.

The production of kidney bean rolls has also increased a lot, so it is necessary to promote it at this time to pave the way for the next online sales.

After setting up the equipment for the live broadcast, Meng Liwei said to Xu Zhuo, "Xu Zhuo, we have an event in the live broadcast room, why don't we just do it together today, after all, this kidney bean roll can't support a live broadcast."

Xu Zhuo didn't care about it either, and let him give full play to it, promoting the kidney bean rolls a lot. In order not to appear monotonous, Xu Zhuo brought Lao Meng some desserts like donkey rolling.

After finishing all this, Xu Zhuo went to the back kitchen to get busy with work, while Lao Meng opened the live broadcast room and greeted those fans who hadn't woken up while playing with their phones under the covers.

"Today, I came to Sifang Restaurant to try the new kidney bean rolls, and by the way, try other desserts and make a review.

In addition, our live broadcast activities continue. If you want to see what I eat, you can directly leave a message in the comment area. The content with the most likes will be the content of the next live broadcast. "

As a big anchor, Lao Meng is still very experienced in interacting with fans.

Soon, there will be a bunch of food names that everyone wants to eat in the comment area.

However, because it is the Chinese New Year period, everyone is not very interested in big fish and meat, but is more interested in some home-cooked delicacies.

For example, today, Meng Liwei glanced at the comment section when he was streaming, and found that the most liked food was actually...

Fried strips!

"It's a bit difficult to do. There are no Northwestern dishes nearby, so you may not be able to buy stir-fried noodles, and even if you can buy them, it may not be delicious."

Lao Meng muttered a few words casually, and as a result, a series of barrages for Boss Xu to make flew up on the screen.

"Boss Xu is good at pasta, just let him do it."

"That's right, looking for Xu Zhuo when you have difficulties, isn't that your motto?"

"Boss Xu always said that he knows everything, so you should make it more difficult for him."

Everyone has everything to say, but there is only one theme, which is to let Xu Zhuo do it. It is best to broadcast the production process live.

Ever since he became famous, Xu Zhuo seems to have no pressure to make pasta, so this time I will give him a more difficult one.

Everyone's ideas are very interesting, just want to see if Xu Zhuo will overturn.

And Lao Meng, as an anchor, usually has to make some noise to create a topic when he has nothing to do. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, he will naturally not miss it.

"Fried strips?"

Xu Zhuo looked at Lao Meng with some doubts. He didn't quite understand why those fans suddenly wanted to eat such a simple food, shouldn't it be big fish and big meat?

"I'm tired of eating big fish and meat during the Chinese New Year. Now they just want to eat some simple food that they can't eat at home. Can you make it? If not, I can go to a ramen restaurant and buy two... ..."

will not?

It has been more than a month since Xu Zhuo acquired this skill. If there were not too many leftovers during the Chinese New Year and no time to make them, he would have already made fried noodles for everyone to taste.

Now, the opportunity has finally come.

"It will definitely be, needless to say? But let's forget about the live broadcast, because the meeting time is a bit long, and the live broadcast effect is not good.

How about this, let Keke film the production process and make a VLOG. When the frying starts, you start a live broadcast, let them watch the frying process, and then you can start eating. "

Lao Meng naturally had no objection to this arrangement.

When Yu Keke was not busy, Xu Zhuo asked her to start filming the process of making the strips.

Latiao, also called Latiaozi, is a typical Northwest delicacy. Whether it is Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles, Lanzhou beef noodles, or various Northwest barbecue restaurants, it can be seen in Latiao.

There are two ways to eat La Tiao, one is to make various noodles, and the other is fried La Tiao which is more popular.

Latiao, as the name suggests, is to stretch the noodles into long strips.

Latiao is more chewy and chewy than ramen, and has a stronger satiety, so you don’t know you’re hungry after a full day.

When I was in college, apart from Xu Zhuo, the most common staple food in the dormitory was stir-fried pork strips. It cost a few yuan a piece, and it included all the vegetables and staple food, which was very cheap.

Xu Zhuo would eat it occasionally, but he didn't have much interest in it, because other people either played basketball or football, anyway, they just tried their best to express themselves, they had a lot of activities, so it was very suitable to eat stir-fried noodles.

As for Xu Zhuo, a gaming geek, he can't do it anymore. After a meal, he will feel a little overwhelmed, and it's very uncomfortable to sit and play games.

While meeting, Xu Zhuo talked about those interesting things when he was in college, and by the way, he also complained about the tragic past of Lao Meng and the others when they were in love.

The noodles of the strips are similar to the stewed noodles, but softer than the sliced ​​noodles.

However, the method is very similar to the noodles used to make fried sanzi.

Xu Zhuo first mixed the flour with salt water to form a dough, and then covered it with a damp cloth to proof for half an hour.

After half an hour, he used a rolling pin to roll the dough into a long strip of thick dough with a width of about [-] centimeters.

Then he used a kitchen knife to cut the dough pieces at intervals of two centimeters, spread oil on them, rounded the flat strips one by one, and put them into a basin one by one, and sealed them with oil.

"It's exactly the same as making that deep-fried sanzi. Is this really making porridge?"

Even Yu Keke, who didn't know how to cook at all, saw the clues.

Xu Zhuo said with a smile, "Sanzi is originally a fried food from the Northwest, so it's normal to be similar to strips."

The noodles in the basin are proofed for two hours, and then the noodles can be made.

There is a trick here, the longer the proofing time, the better the strips will be pulled out, and even very thin noodles will not break.

But the wake-up time is short, and even the thick bars of chopsticks may break.

Before making the strips, be sure to boil a pot of water, because the stretched strips must be boiled in the pot as soon as possible, otherwise they will stick together.

Therefore, when making strips, you must wait for the water in the pot to boil before proceeding.

The water in Xu Zhuo's pot had already started to roll, so he took out a piece of proofed dough from the pot and pulled it lightly, which made the originally thick strip very thin.

In fact, it is also possible to use the method of making sanzi, but the way to pull it out is a long strip, which is suitable for commercial production after all.

For those like Xu Zhuo who only cook a little at a time, it is more convenient to use short roots. It is very convenient to pull the 20-centimeter dough to about one meter and then put it in the pot.

Put the strips into the pot one by one. At this time, it must be boiled quickly so that the strips are cooked as soon as possible.

If the firepower is not enough, or there is too little water and too much noodles, these strips will stick together in the pot, and the taste that should be strong and chewy will also become poor.

After all the ribs were put into the pot and boiled for another 2 minutes, Xu Zhuo used a large colander to fish out the ribs from the pot and put them in a large basin of cold water.

"This step cannot be missed, as soon as the strips come out of the pot, they must be rinsed with cold water, so that the taste will be smooth, otherwise the strips will gradually become sticky, and even lose their chewy taste."

After Xu Zhuo finished speaking, he began to prepare the side dishes for the stir-fried noodles.

Raw lamb, tomatoes, onions, green and red peppers, rapeseed.

Looking at these few ingredients, Yu Keke always felt that they were so simple. She tilted her head and asked Xu Zhuo, "The side dishes are so simple, but you said that the stir-fried noodles would be very delicious. Is there any trick in it?"

Xu Zhuo nodded, and said seriously: "If you want fried noodles to taste delicious, there is indeed a trick."

"what is it?"

"Eat when you're hungry..."

Chapter 943

Yu Keke looked at Xu Zhuo suspiciously, and it took him a long time to realize that what Xu Zhuo said was almost the same as "eating chaff when hungry is as sweet as honey, and eating honey when full is not sweet".

At first, she thought there was some trick.

In the end, she said some nonsense and played tricks, which made her think for a long time.

"Go on, I'm running out of DV memory, don't waste time."

Yu Keke urged Xu Zhuo, but when this guy shook her, she naturally wanted to fight back

"Don't worry, just wait..."

Xu Zhuo unhurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Meng Liwei: "Come in with your live broadcast guy, and start speculating."

A few minutes later, Lao Meng walked into the kitchen with the tripod and mobile phone used for the live broadcast. He had been broadcasting for a while, and now he was chatting with the people in the live broadcast room while walking, and even took a picture of Sifang Restaurant with his mobile phone. kitchen.

"Look, everyone, this is the back kitchen of Sifang Restaurant. The stove is neat and the floor is clean, and the chefs are well-dressed. Safety and sanitation are well controlled."

Nowadays, many restaurants don’t look at the dining area as clean, but the back kitchen is messy and messy. Not only is the sewage flowing across the floor, but the oil stains on the stove are so thick that they can be peeled off.

However, the back kitchen of Sifang Restaurant is unbelievably clean, which changed everyone's perception of the back kitchen.

Of course, some people said that this was just a show, and it was just prepared in advance, but those who said this were quickly drowned out by other people's voices.

After all, there are not many people who watch food and broadcast.

Foodies are more Buddha-natured. Even if they meet people with different ideas from their own, they will just laugh it off and will not argue with each other.

After the live broadcast camera was set up, Xu Zhuo didn't talk nonsense, and directly started cooking fried noodles.

Slip the pan first, wait for the oil to heat up again, put the cut lamb into the oil and stir-fry.

You can't use pure lean meat for fried pork ribs, because it will be a little woody after being oiled. It is better to use lamb with a little fat, which is delicious.

The piece of mutton that Xu Zhuo used was the part of the mutton's hind leg that was close to the mutton's buttocks.

This part of the mutton is fat and lean, and it is oily. When he cut it, he thought it was very good. Now it is put into the pan and stir-fried. The fat on the fat meat is heated and melted, which makes the aroma of the mutton more intense.

In this step, the mutton does not add any seasoning, just put it in the oil pan and stir-fry it.

In the northwestern region, it has always been the rule to cook mutton. No seasoning is added before it is cooked, and it is simply seasoned after it is ready.

This kind of operation seems rough, but it is actually the confidence in the ingredients.

If you want to put those captive sheep in the inland, if you do this, the smell of mutton will probably make people cry.

Stir-fried the mutton over high heat until the mutton changed color and looked slightly browned, Xu Zhuo took the mutton out of the pot.

Keep the fat in the pot as much as possible, because it will be used for frying side dishes later.

Put the mutton aside for later use, then put the overcooled strips in the basin into the basket, and put them aside to control the water, so as not to be full of water when frying later, which will affect the final product.

Returning to the stove again, Xu Zhuo started to fry the side dishes.

Because the mutton has just been fried, after the pot is heated, a scent of mutton floats out of the pot.

"Xu Zhuo, since cooking with mutton oil is more delicious, why not just use mutton oil for cooking?"

Meng Liwei was full of doubts, wondering why Xu Zhuo didn't do that.

Is it to save costs?

"Using sheep fat is delicious, but once the temperature drops, the strips and side dishes will solidify together, making it impossible to eat."

Xu Zhuo answered his question after pouring the chopped tomatoes into the pot.

But then he said to Meng Liwei: "Can you stop asking such obvious questions, you idiot?"

Lao Meng chuckled: "I don't want to accumulate some cooking skills and develop horizontally."

Xu Zhuo slowly stir-fried the tomatoes in the pot until the tomatoes were soft and rotten, and there was soup, then he poured the chopped onions and green and red peppers into the pot.

Continue to stir-fry.

The tomato gravy hangs over the onions and green and red peppers, adding a tantalizing burst of red to both ingredients.
