Food starts with noodles

Soon, half an hour passed.

Xu Zhuo took out the batter that had been steamed in the steamer, and while stirring it with chopsticks, let out the air in the batter.

Next, the batter is divided into four parts, and purple red and yellow natural pigments are added to three of them. After stirring with chopsticks, set aside to cool.

The freshly prepared batter is slightly thinner, so it is more suitable for mixing pigments into it.

After the temperature of the batter drops, the moisture in the batter shrinks, and it is easy to knead the dough by hand.

After the dough is kneaded, Xu Zhuo rolls it into long strips, divides it into doughs of equal size, kneads it, presses it flat again, puts the stuffing balls made in advance, and wraps them up carefully.

Then put it into the mold and press lightly, and a snowy mooncake is ready.

Chapter 1279 Make Fat Sausage?It's not easy!

"Wow! This snowy mooncake is so beautiful!"

When Xu Zhuo took the mooncake away, everyone looked at the mooncake on the chopping board and immediately fell in love with it.

From the outside, the moon cake is white in color, but it also has a feeling of crystal clear. With its small size, it does not look like something to eat at all, but looks like a cute thing.

This provoked praises all around.

Girls, they have no resistance to cute and lovely things.

First-class delicacies like snow skin mooncakes naturally captured everyone's hearts in the first place.

Xu Zhuo took a closer look and found that the effect was good.

It’s just that the pattern on the mold is a bit ordinary. If it is replaced with the Q-version cartoon pattern of Xu Xiaochu, the effect should be better.

He picked up a kitchen knife and cut the mooncake from the middle, revealing the deep red jujube paste filling.

At the same time, it can also be seen that the thickness of the pie crust is only about two millimeters, and the thickness is uniform. This strong contrast between white and deep red is almost the same as fat welfare for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Not bad, it is indeed a C-level signature skill. Although it seems a little simple, the mooncakes are really beautiful.

Especially the straight line where the pie crust and filling intersected showed the difference in this skill.

After all, for this kind of food that needs to be extruded with a mold at the end, it is difficult to make the thickness of the cake uniform, and it is even more difficult to make the filling and the cake present a straight line.

The mooncakes were not refrigerated at the moment, and they were still slightly warm to the touch, so Xu Zhuo didn't try any flavors.

Anyway, the appearance is already so high, is the taste still important?

He started to make the rest, some of all colors and fillings.

When doing it, I also pointed out other people's operations.

After everything is done, it is sent to the cold storage for refrigeration, which can also increase the taste of the mooncakes and make the mooncakes taste more delicious.

When it was getting dark, Xu Zhuo came to the cold storage with an exquisite mooncake box, and then picked two mooncakes of each color and put them into the box.

The snow skin mooncakes are made, so I naturally want to take them home for my daughter-in-law to taste.

And now it has been refrigerated, the mooncakes are cold to the touch, which makes people feel very comfortable in the hot early autumn weather.

After filling it, Xu Zhuo closed the lid of the mooncake box, then casually squeezed a white snowskin mooncake into his mouth and tasted it, the mouth was cold, the skin was slightly soft and chewy, but it was very chewy.

This mooncake is filled with purple sweet potato puree. The purple sweet potato puree inside is a little hard when you first eat it, and the taste is a bit bland.

But after chewing for a few times, the unique sweet aroma of purple sweet potatoes spread in the mouth, and at the same time, the purple sweet potato puree became moist and soft.

The ice skin mooncake tasted so good, after Xu Zhuo finished eating it in two or three bites, he picked up another jujube paste and tasted it, the taste was still very good.

The emergence of snowy mooncakes has broken the traditional practice of baking mooncakes, and it has also turned mooncakes that were a bit greasy after eating too much into a dessert that will not get greasy after eating too much.

After eating two mooncakes, Xu Zhuo took the box and packed a few lo mei casually, then drove home.

I'm not going to cook tonight. I'll have some mooncakes and some lo-mei. Just make do with it for a meal.

And based on his knowledge of cocoa, this girl will definitely finish eating the mooncakes. There are a lot of these mooncakes. If she eats them before eating, wouldn't she be so stupid?

So it's better to be lazy and not cook, even if Yu Keke really wants to eat, he can also order takeaway from the store.

Back home, Xu Zhuo put the mooncakes into the freezer of the refrigerator, and then went to the study. Before Yu Keke came back, he was ready to experience the danger and excitement of the battlefield.

However, he opened the chicken eating game and lost his longing for the battlefield after three of them landed in a box.

With nothing to do, Xu Zhuo had no choice but to open Call of Duty again and review the Modern Warfare trilogy.

These are almost the most highly rated games in Call of Duty. Although Xu Zhuo has cleared the level countless times, he still wants to continue to experience it every time.

This is the charm of a good game. Even if you already know the location of the enemy and the next plot, you will still enjoy playing it.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Xu Zhuo became curious when he realized that Yu Keke hadn't come back yet.

This girl...isn't she still helping the old man play mahjong?

He took his mobile phone and called Yu Keke.

Soon, the call was connected, and Yu Keke's voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

"Xiong Zai and I are having dinner at grandparents' house, do you want to come over?"

But when it was time to eat, Xu Zhuo heard the sound of mahjong being washed. Obviously, the girl was still on the poker table.

Tsk, you won't be calling from noon until now, right?

While thinking about it, Yu Keke's cheers came from the receiver: "Wow, I won again, take the money, take the money, hurry up and take the money! It's okay if you don't have cash, we support WeChat payment and Alipay transfer."

Hearing the girl's voice seemed quite cheerful, Xu Zhuo curled his lips helplessly, fortunately he didn't prepare dinner, otherwise there would really be leftovers.

Nothing to do right now, why not go to the old lady's place for dinner.

I happened to take the mooncakes to the old lady to taste.

Xu Zhuo put the packaged lo-mei in the refrigerator, and then drove to the old lady's house with the mooncakes.

The main reason why I didn't bring those lo-mei was to prevent Yu Keke from yelling hungry in the middle of the night and having nothing to eat.

After all, they are a couple who live together every day, Xu Zhuo is too aware of Yu Keke's habit of eating in the middle of the night.

After arriving at the old lady's house, neither Yu Keke nor the old man was there. According to the old lady's introduction, the old man is killing all directions at the poker table, and he probably won't be back for a while.

Xu Zhuo knew very well that the old man wanted to return the ridicule he had received tonight, so he didn't care.

When he took out the mooncakes for the old lady to taste, he realized that Xu Wenhai was actually busy in the kitchen.

"Dad, when did you come?" Xu Zhuo was very curious, why is Xu Wenhai cooking?

Didn't everyone eat?

Xu Wenhai said: "Your grandpa called me just now and asked me to send some fat intestines. I didn't care at the time, so I took some from the back kitchen and sent them over. It turned out that your grandpa was going to make nine-turn large intestines, and I took them." Those didn't work, and then your grandpa asked me to prepare dinner, and he waited at the card table before coming over."

Tsk, the old man can even let go of cooking in order to slap his face. He really deserves to be a king of persecution.

Of course, it must be his own daughter-in-law who is doing her best, otherwise the old man would have come back to cook dinner for the old lady long ago.

While the old lady was tasting the mooncakes, Xu Zhuo came to the kitchen to see what Xu Wenhai had prepared for dinner.

Xu Zhuo hadn't eaten anything until this point, and Xu Zhuo felt really hungry.

The dishes in the kitchen are ready, just waiting to be cooked.

Xu Zhuo took a look. There were prawns braised in oil, diced chicken fried in sauce, and mutton fried with green onions. Xu Wenhai prepared seven or eight dishes, including meat and vegetables, which looked quite rich.

But when he saw the fat intestine soaked in the basin, he suddenly became curious: "What are you going to do?"

Xu Wenhai said with some embarrassment: "I wanted to make braised large intestines, but your grandfather doesn't like braised large intestines very much. Why don't you come and think about it. You can make anything you want. I'll make other dishes first."

Xu Zhuo was just about to say he wouldn't do it, but suddenly thought that the reward he got a few days ago was useless.

Or, try making it now?

Chapter 1280

Fat sausage is a very popular ingredient, and there are many ways to do it.

For example, braised fat sausages, dry pot fat sausages, boiled fat sausages, stewed fat sausages, etc. There are various methods.

The most complicated and cumbersome among them should be the Jiuzhuan large intestine in Shandong cuisine.

In fact, Jiuzhuan large intestine is a kind of braised large intestine, but the method is more cumbersome and extreme. The taste contains five flavors that symbolize life, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. Eating it is like eating the Taoist Jiuzhuan Jindan, so it is named Nine turns of the large intestine.

But Xu Zhuo didn't have a good time today, because the old man didn't come back to do Jiuzhuan Dachang.

The large intestine brought by Xu Wenhai on the shelf is also not suitable for this dish, so Xu Zhuo can only make raw fried fat intestines.

Compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive nine-turn large intestine, the dish of fried fat intestines is much simpler, even so simple that one doubts whether it will be cooked.

Because the dish of raw fried fat intestines takes less than 1 minute from being put into the pot to being out of the pot.

Only 50 seconds, to be exact.

In such a short period of time, it sounds like a fairy tale to cook the pig large intestine and at the same time, because most of the fat intestine dishes, not to mention how much time it takes, just need to be blanched. More than 5 minutes.

Can the fat sausage made in tens of seconds be eaten?

The answer is yes, it can be eaten, and it is very delicious.

Crisp texture and hot taste, it is definitely a super meal.

People in the Zigong area of ​​Sichuan love this dish very much. In their opinion, if the fat intestines are not raw, it is a waste of food and a waste of ingredients.

Xu Zhuo took the fat sausage out of the water basin, put it on the chopping board, and cut the fat sausage vertically with a kitchen knife, so that the fat inside was exposed.

In fact, the side with fat is the outside of the fat intestines, but after the pigs are slaughtered at the slaughterhouse, they will turn the large intestines over and clean the inside of the large intestines, so the pig large intestines bought back are full of fat. inside, while the smooth lining of the large intestine is outside.

When cutting the large intestine with a kitchen knife, be careful not to cut through both sides of the large intestine, but only cut one side, so that the large intestine expands from the original cylinder into a plane.

The advantage of this is that it is easy to clean, and it can also make the fat sausage mature quickly during cooking.

If the sausage is not cut open, the sausage is cut into sections. When cooking, the heat will not reach the inside of the sausage instantly, resulting in uneven raw and cooked sausage, or losing its crispy taste.

After cutting the large intestine from the beginning to the end, Xu Zhuo began to tear the fat inside with his hands.

However, he didn't completely tear it off, but tore off some denser and more fat, most of which remained on the fat intestines.

Fat intestines, fat intestines, is it still called fat intestines without fat?

Besides, if you eat fat intestines, what you eat is the greasy feeling. If you tear off all the fat, you will lose the taste of fat intestines.

The aroma of sausage has nothing to do with the sausage, almost all of its fragrance comes from the fat on the surface of the sausage, so if you tear it all off, the sausage will lose its soul.

After tearing off all the excess fat, Xu Zhuo began to clean the large intestine.

The cleaning of the large intestine is not difficult, but it is a bit troublesome.

Xu Zhuo poured high-grade liquor into the basin, then poured in a large spoonful of salt, then started to scratch, wash and knead repeatedly.

White wine and salt can wash off the mucus on the surface of the fat intestines, which will greatly reduce the fishy smell of the fat intestines, and it will not taste too much.

In addition, after the mucus is washed off, the fatty sausage can also achieve a smooth taste.

After scrubbing repeatedly for about 3 minutes, Xu Zhuo added fresh water to the basin, washed the fat intestines, and then took them out of the basin.

Then, squeeze out the water on the fatty sausage with your hands, put it into a clean basin again, put two small spoons of baking soda in it, and then put in a large spoonful of dry starch.

Then grab and wash again.

Baking soda is an essential ingredient for making fried sausages. Only after washing with baking soda, the sausages will have that crunchy taste.

If it is said that the first time to wash with white wine and salt is to make the taste of the fatty intestines refreshing, then now it is to make the taste of the fatty intestines crisp.

Both washings are essential in cooking this dish.

Starch, on the other hand, can penetrate deep into the folds on the surface of the sausage and stick the dirt attached to it, so that the peculiar smell on the sausage will become lighter and the taste will be smoother.

Grab and wash again for 3 minutes. After washing the fatty intestines several times, pour clean water, clean and remove the fatty intestines.

Squeeze the fat intestines dry, and then start to change the knife.

Before changing the knife, it is necessary to dry out the moisture in the fat intestines as much as possible, so that when it is put into the pan for stir-frying, it will mature quickly.

If a pot of fat intestines is half a pot of water, no matter how high the temperature of the oil in the pot is, the fat intestines will not be cooked all at once.
