Food starts with noodles

"It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to make some snowy mooncakes for the elders. Do you want to eat them?"

After a long time, Xu Zhuo finally calmed down and expressed his intention.

He didn't play any tacit understanding anymore, he thought he could think of going together, but every time Yu Keke's strange brain circuit would give Xu Zhuo a blow in the face.

Xu Zhuo secretly set a flag in his heart, in the future I will be a dog if I play with a heart-to-heart!

Yu Keke just picked up a chopstick of tofu skin and put it into his mouth. After hearing what Xu Zhuo said, he immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, I like snowy mooncakes the most. I can't get enough of them every time."

Xu Zhuo was speechless with her cheerful look.

Since I like to eat so much and want to eat so much, why didn't I just say it?

Alas, in the final analysis, there is still no tacit understanding.

When Yu Keke couldn't eat anymore, he wiped his mouth and thought of a question: "Is the snowy mooncake easy to make? What kind of filling are you going to make?"

Xu Zhuo really didn't think about what to make stuffing, but his daughter-in-law is willing to talk, so let's talk about it.

The young couple discussed the mainstream mooncake fillings.

What white lotus paste, yellow lotus paste, red date paste, mung bean paste, red bean paste, black sesame, meat floss, ginkgo, five kernels, roses, prunes, rock sugar, ham, egg yolk, etc.

Anyway, it's just talking, and there's no need to do it, so Xu Zhuo told him all the mooncake fillings he knew.

Hearing that Yu Keke, who was already full, was hungry again.

But even though she was hungry, Xu Zhuo didn't let her eat more, but put the leftover ingredients in the refrigerator and threw them away.

Twenty minutes later, the entire restaurant and kitchen became clean, and Yu Keke hugged Xiong Zai, and began to fantasize about the snowy mooncakes Xu Zhuo was going to make.

Sometimes, when it comes to food, it doesn’t matter if you can’t see or remember to eat it. Once someone mentions it or thinks about something to eat, you will want to eat it super, and the more you think about it, the more greedy you will be.

Yu Keke is in this situation now, even though he has eaten enough hot pot just now, he still wants to eat another snowskin mooncake.

"Even if you want to eat it again, you can't make it until tomorrow at least. There are no ingredients for snowy mooncakes at home."

Xu Zhuo's face was full of helplessness, how could his daughter-in-law be able to eat more and more?

What can I do if I grow up to be a little chubby in the future?

Yu Keke was a little puzzled: "Isn't it enough to use glutinous rice flour? I remember that there is glutinous rice flour in the refrigerator, and there is a whole bag of it. Don't you know how to make it?"

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "It is not enough to use only glutinous rice flour for the ice skin of the snow skin mooncakes, and several other ingredients must be added, otherwise the snow skin moon cakes will crack after a short period of storage.

If you want to eat to the end, I can make it for you tomorrow, but not tonight. There are not so many materials at home, and it is too late now, so hurry up and go to bed, and you have to get up early tomorrow. "

Early the next morning, Xu Zhuo came to the store, ready to start making snowy mooncakes after breakfast.

Compared with Daokou roast chicken and braised elbow, this dessert is equivalent to a small embellishment when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, and it will not cause too much impact.

Even if it is launched in the online store in a few days, it will not be hyped, because this kind of dessert is really not difficult, so there is no need to promote it.

And even if it is publicized, the sales will not be very high, and the gain outweighs the loss.

This kind of food is just a taste for people, and it is destined not to become a blockbuster product.

After the hotpot dinner last night, the leadership of the store was obviously more active at work today. When Xu Zhuo came, almost all of them had already arrived and were sitting together for breakfast.

After Xu Zhuo came in, everyone said hello and continued eating.

Today's breakfast in the store is fried buns with clear soup and scallion oil noodles. The side dishes are shredded ears in red oil and stir-fried zucchini. In addition, there are also staple foods such as fried rice with soy sauce.

There are actually not too many types of breakfast in the store, basically all kinds of carbohydrates.

After all, no matter the front desk or the back kitchen in the store, it is hard physical labor after breakfast.

Needless to say, the back kitchen, all kinds of ingredients to be used today need to be cleaned, changed, marinated, fried, etc., all of which are heavy work.

And the front desk is not easy, because it needs work such as mopping the floor, scrubbing, and arranging tableware, which is relatively heavy.

In this case, if you don't eat high-calorie carbohydrates, you won't last until noon.

And not only do you have to eat high-calorie carbohydrates, but you also have to eat meat, so that your physical strength can be guaranteed.

Xu Zhuo filled a bowl of noodles for himself, and put two teaspoons of scallion oil boiled with lard in it, and after stirring it, the aroma diffused.

The noodles go well with the fried golden and crispy mantou slices.

After breakfast, Xu Zhuo came to the back kitchen. He was just about to find the ingredients for making snowy mooncakes, but Jianguo yelled at him, "Xu Zhuo, your godfather is here."

Xu Zhuo turned his face and saw that Wei Junming was standing at the door of the kitchen, holding a woven bag in his hand.

Seeing Xu Zhuo looking over, he smiled and said, "Last night I went fishing by the Yellow River with my friends, and I caught a wild soft-shelled turtle. I thought it was quite big, so I drove here. Your grandfather said that today is noon. Eat here."

Recently, Wei Junming has become obsessed with fishing. He not only purchased various professional fishing equipment, but also posted his fishing results in his circle of friends every day.

It's not uncommon to see such big carps in the Yellow River, and they are even disgusted by Yao Meixiang.

Xu Zhuo didn't expect that he caught a wild soft-shelled turtle from the Yellow River. He leaned over and took a look. It was indeed not small, weighing about three to four catties.

The wild soft-shelled turtles in the Yellow River are different from those in other places. The carapaces of the soft-shelled turtles in the Yellow River are blue-yellow, and even the skin of the soft-shelled turtles is white and yellowish.

It is said that this is a unique feature of the Yellow River soft-shelled turtle, and Xu Zhuo has seen it today.

Xu Zhuo put the soft-shelled turtle in the pool, kept it in clean water first, and then slaughtered it when it was ready to eat.

Seeing the soft-shelled turtle slowly start swimming in the water, Xu Zhuo looked at Wei Junming and asked, "My grandfather is coming at noon today?"

The old man has been practicing mahjong skills at home recently, and he should be ready to fully integrate into the lives of the elderly.

However, although he is very good at cooking, playing mahjong is not interesting.

These days, he has fought and lost many times, and his own card skills are not good. Sometimes he forgets to win, and sometimes he dismantles the cards that are about to be fired. Anyway, every time he ends up, he loses the most.

This made the old lady, the god of gamblers who looked down on the entire community, very disgusted, but the old man has a character of repeated defeats, the more he loses, the more he wants to win.

Then these days have been soaking in the poker table, not caring about things in the store at all.

But this is pretty good, at least it gave Dai Zhenting, Zheng Guangyao and Feng Weiguo a chance to make a video, otherwise, with the character of the old man, is it their turn to show off in the video?

Since the old man is coming over at noon, he must prepare some dishes.

Needless to say, this soft-shelled turtle must be made.

In addition, I have to prepare a few dishes that have never been served in the store, just for the old man to have a look at them and comment on them.

When Xu Zhuo was thinking about this, Wei Junming looked at Xu Zhuo and said, "Last night I saw that Ke Ke posted in Moments that he wanted to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and when you came here, your godmother specifically asked me to make some for Ke Ke to try.

This snack is very simple, do you want to learn it? "

Chapter 1272 Brown Sugar Ciba

Yu Keke did post such a post last night, mainly because I used to order this dessert every time in the hot pot restaurant, but there was no brown sugar glutinous rice cake when I ate the hot pot last night, so this girl sent a post and nagged a few words .

No one took this movement seriously, even Yu Keke himself didn't think it was a big deal.

She has always been a personality who posts whatever she wants to eat, and she is not really greedy. It's just that she didn't have this dessert when she ate hot pot last night, and she felt that something was missing.

But Yao Meixiang, the godmother, took care of her after seeing it. When Wei Junming came, she specially asked Yu Keke to make brown sugar glutinous rice cakes for her to eat.

Wei Junming didn't talk much, and after washing his hands, he started making brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

Brown sugar glutinous rice cake is a popular dessert snack in Sichuan and Chongqing. The main ingredients used are glutinous rice and brown sugar. If you are more particular, some soybean powder will be sprinkled on it.

This dessert is not too sweet, but it tastes rich.

The glutinous rice glutinous rice cake sticks are fried to be crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, served with slightly viscous brown sugar juice and fragrant soybean powder. This brown sugar glutinous rice cake is really hard to put down.

Anyway, every time Xu Zhuo goes to eat hot pot, the brown sugar glutinous rice cake is a must-order dish.

Now that Wei Junming is going to teach this dessert, it is natural to learn it. It just so happens that the skill that he has devoted himself to learning has been cooled down, so he can learn another dish.

Xu Zhuo has already made up his mind, after learning this dessert, he will be upgraded to D-level.

This is not for new products in restaurants, nor for online sales, but to keep them for later use as a sacrifice.

There was glutinous rice soaked last night in the shop, Wei Junming took some, washed it twice in the basin, then brought a bamboo cage, put a layer of cage cloth in the cage, and poured the soaked glutinous rice went in.

Then boil water in the pot, put the cage drawer on it and start steaming glutinous rice.

The glutinous rice used to make brown sugar glutinous rice cakes must be thoroughly soaked, so that the steamed glutinous rice will be soft and sticky without a hard core, and the softness and hardness are moderate, and the water will not be too much.

If it is steamed directly without soaking, the glutinous rice will not be steamed at all, because the glutinous rice will absorb a lot of water during the cooking process, and it is completely impossible to rely on water vapor.

If you put it in a pot and cook it, the glutinous rice can be cooked thoroughly, but the cooked glutinous rice has a lot of water and is not suitable for frying.

Therefore, if you want brown sugar glutinous rice cakes to be delicious, glutinous rice must be soaked.

Although the glutinous rice needs to be soaked for a long time, it feels time-consuming, but it is much easier to steam. In less than half an hour, Wei Junming turned off the fire.

But he didn't take down the cage directly, but covered the pot for a while.

In this way, the purpose is to allow water vapor to enter the glutinous rice as much as possible to avoid the appearance of a hard core. In addition, this kind of stuffiness can also allow the excess water vapor in the pot to drip down along the gaps in the cage.

A few minutes later, Wei Junming took a clean porcelain basin and put it on the workbench, with a little cooking oil in it.

Then he lifted the lid of the pot, took the cage drawer out of the pot, walked to the side of the workbench, and put the cage drawer upside down in the basin.

Then, he removed the cage drawer, and carefully removed the silicone cage cloth that was tightly stuck to the glutinous rice, and the rest of the pot was full of steamed glutinous rice.

Steamed glutinous rice looks very soft and sticky.

Wei Junming took some soft white sugar and poured it into the basin, and stirred it in the basin with a thinner rolling pin.

Putting white sugar is to make the glutinous rice cakes taste sweet.

You don’t need to put too much soft white sugar, otherwise it will taste a bit greasy, just add a little bit to increase the taste of glutinous rice, too much will not taste good.

While busy, Wei Junming explained to Xu Zhuo the essentials of making brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

For example, now, it is necessary to stir the glutinous rice into glutinous rice balls while it is hot. This will not only allow the soft white sugar to mix evenly with the glutinous rice, but also make the glutinous rice free of air bubbles and voids, making it taste better.

This was a very labor-intensive job, but luckily it wasn't too difficult, so Xu Zhuo took over Wei Junming's job after a while, holding the rolling pin with both hands and starting to stir in the basin.

And Wei Junming held the basin tightly with both hands, making it easier for Xu Zhuo to stir.

After more than ten minutes, the glutinous rice in the pot has turned into a very sticky glutinous rice ball. If you continue to beat it with a pestle and mortar, it will be the most typical rice cake.

But today we don’t make rice cakes, so after stirring the glutinous rice into glutinous rice balls, the father and son stopped what they were doing.

At this moment, the temperature of the glutinous rice has dropped a little, and it has become more viscous.

Wei Junming found a large rectangular box, which was also smeared with a layer of peanut oil, and then carefully filled the glutinous rice balls in the basin.

When he put it on, he also applied oil on his hands, so he didn't have to worry about sticking his hands.

When the glutinous rice is put into the box, you have to keep pressing it, so that the air inside can be exhausted to the maximum extent, so that the brown sugar glutinous rice cake tastes better.

After putting everything into a box, Wei Junming sent it to the cold storage, which can speed up the cooling of the glutinous rice, and once the glutinous rice cools down, it will be shaped, and it will be much more convenient to cut into strips.

After finishing all this, Wei Junming looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "What time does Keke usually come to eat at noon? These glutinous rice cakes need to be fried fresh to taste. When she comes over, let's fry them at some time."

Yu Keke has been delivering takeaway from the company restaurant recently, but Wei Junming is here today, and the old man will come to eat, so she must come over.

After Xu Zhuo contacted Yu Keke with his mobile phone, he agreed to drive over at eleven o'clock.

Today's lunch is not just as simple as having to eat, the main thing is to let the old lady hug Xiongzai. After all, I haven't seen Xiongzai for so many days, and I don't know if Xiongzai has forgotten his first owner.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Wei Junming took the box containing the glutinous rice balls out of the cold storage, and then turned it upside down on the chopping board, carefully knocking out the glutinous rice balls that had turned into bricks.

After the glutinous rice balls came out, Wei Junming took a kitchen knife and began to cut into strips.

The glutinous rice strips used for brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are not too long, about ten centimeters is just right, and the width and height are about one centimeter.

If it is too big, the brown sugar glutinous rice cake will have too many soft and waxy places when eating, and it will be easy to get greasy.

If it is too small, there will be no content in the puff pastry, and it will be uncomfortable if you eat too much, so a square of one centimeter is the best.

The glutinous rice balls should be cut quickly, because once the temperature rises, the glutinous rice balls will soften, and it will not be easy to cut them again.

It is easier to cut when it is still frozen.

After cutting, you can’t fry it immediately, you have to let it sit for a while to let the glutinous rice balls soften, and at the same time let the water inside escape.

In this way, it will not fry the pan when frying, and it will taste better after frying.

Taking advantage of this time, Wei Junming brought the brown sugar over and began to teach Xu Zhuo how to make brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, which is an indispensable ingredient for dessert - brown sugar juice.
