Food starts with noodles

The old man smiled and shook his head and said, "No trouble, basically everyone can do it well, it's very simple.

To put it bluntly, these almond dregs and soaked glutinous rice are beaten into a pulp with a soymilk machine, then filtered and boiled in a pot.

When it's cooked to a sticky consistency, it's almond cheese.

Almond cheese can be eaten hot or cold, both ways are good for the body. "

It sounded so simple, but because he didn't have the skills at hand, Xu Zhuo didn't try it rashly, but watched the old man operate it like a student.

Well, whether you can learn it or not, first show your attitude.

You can't act like you don't care because you can't learn. Based on years of school experience, Xu Zhuo knows the price to pay for a bad learning attitude.

Such as calling the parents, such as deliberately being asked questions by the teacher, etc.

Now if he behaves improperly in front of the old man, although he will no longer be called a parent, there is still a high chance of being asked questions.

Cough, it's just a little bit of experience.

Sure enough, after Xu Zhuo showed a posture of serious study, the old man got excited.

Originally, he wanted to point Xu Zhuo and let Xu Zhuo operate the whole process.

But now Xu Zhuo's posture immediately ignited the old man's desire to express himself.

He started making without saying a word.

Soaked glutinous rice is needed to make almond cheese, which is not a problem for the old man. In fact, when soaking almonds last night, I also soaked glutinous rice.

Because everyone present except Xu Zhuo knew that the filtered almond residue could be used in this way.

The old man took the soaked glutinous rice out of the kitchen and mixed it with almond residue according to the proportion.

The specific ratio of the two is two to one, that is, two parts of almond dregs need one part of glutinous rice, so that the almond cheese produced in this way is moderately thick and delicious.

The old man mixed the two evenly, then scooped a spoonful into the wall breaker, added five times as much water, and started stirring.

This step can be done with a stone mill, but the stone mill is too tiring, Xu Zhuo was out of breath just now, and the few old people present are only suitable for shouting slogans.

So this time there was no dispute, the old man directly chose the soybean milk machine.

After pressing the stirring button, the machine started to rotate quickly, and the almond residue and glutinous rice inside were completely crushed into a slightly viscous white liquid.

It looks like starch water that has just been stirred.

The old man used a soybean milk machine to grind all the glutinous rice and almond residue in turn, and then began to filter.

Well, almond cheese also needs to be filtered, and like almond tofu, it is best to use a fine mesh sieve and gauze at the same time, double filtration.

In this way, the slag inside can be hidden, making the almond cheese taste smoother and more delicate.

"I still need to filter? What about the dregs that are filtered out later? Throw it away?"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "No, just add two eggs and spread it into almond cakes. Almonds are an ingredient because of their unique taste, so they are delicious no matter how they are made. Even a little dregs can be recycled. It would be a waste to throw it away."

Tsk tsk, Xu Zhuo used to think that these famous chefs were extravagant and wasteful when cooking, but he didn't expect that there were times when they were so frugal.

A little uncomfortable.

After re-filtering, the old man poured the almond pulp into the pot, then poured in a small bowl of white sugar, and boiled it slowly over low heat.

Just like making almond tofu, the whole process of boiling needs to be stirred, otherwise there will be a possibility of sticking to the pan.

Wait until the slurry in the pot is boiling and visibly viscous at the same time, then turn off the heat.

As for the thickness, it all depends on personal preference. If you like to eat thinner, cook for a while less, and if you like to eat thick, cook for a while.

Anyway, no matter how thick it is, the taste and texture are very beautiful.

After cooking, the old man scooped out the pot with a spoon and filled several bowls.

After serving it, he said: "If you like to eat hot, you can eat it now, if you want to eat cold, then put it in the refrigerator to cool down.

This thing is eaten hot to warm the stomach, and eaten cold to relieve the fire. It is delicious no matter how you eat it. "

Chapter 1510 Hey, there's really no cure!

Although Xu Zhuo wanted to taste the taste of almond cheese after it cooled, but now he couldn't resist the temptation of hot almond cheese.

Especially the unique sweet smell of almonds, which went straight into the nostrils.

The taste of almonds is different from other dried fruit ingredients. Most of the other ingredients are very fragrant, such as walnuts, peanuts, pine nuts, etc.

All of them are fragrant and oily.

The scent of almonds is a little weak, but it smells a little bit bitter.

This kind of bitterness, coupled with the originally not strong fragrance, made people a little unaccustomed and even resisted when they first smelled it.

But after getting used to the smell, the smell becomes more and more comfortable, and even makes people want to stop.

It's not strong enough, but gentle enough, like a wild flower blooming beside a gurgling stream in spring, seemingly inconspicuous, but after careful observation, you will find that everything is just right and everything is perfect.

This light taste, coupled with the milky white yogurt-like appearance, sublimates the almond cheese snack.

You don't need to eat it, just holding Guangduan in your hand and smelling it makes you feel calm and inexplicable.

Xu Zhuo stirred the bowl with a spoon, the viscous texture was more similar to yogurt.

However, the taste of the two is completely different, especially the hot almond cheese, no matter the taste or the slightly hot feeling in the hand, it is not the same as yogurt.

Spoon a little into your mouth.

The first thing you feel in your mouth is the outstanding silky feeling of almond cheese.

This feeling is so wonderful that it can’t even be described in words. After eating it, the silky texture is paired with the warmth of almond cheese, and the sweet taste. After one bite, it makes people feel carried away a feeling of.

Comfortable and warm, like touching a piece of fine jade.

No wonder the concubines in the palace like to eat almond cheese. This thing is not only good for the body, but also has a powerful soothing effect on the heart.

Xu Zhuo ate slowly, and quickly finished a bowl of warm almond cheese.

After eating, there is still a faint taste of almonds in the mouth. It is not strong, but it has just the right beauty.

After Xu Zhuo put down the empty bowl in his hand, it was almost time for lunch.

It's getting close now, and it's a little late for lunch, but there's no way, who made these old people overestimate their physical fitness, and at the same time underestimate the difficulty of pushing the stone mill?

When they were young, they could indeed push the stone mill like a motor, but that was when they were young, and it was completely different from now.

In everyone's expectation, even if his body is not good enough, Xu Zhuo is still there.

However, Boss Xu is a dead house, with average physical fitness, and because of the system in the past two years, he can barely be considered a qualified chef in terms of physical fitness.

But some physical work is still a bit reluctant for him.

Today's dishes are a bit homely, including stir-fried tenderloin, scallion-stir-fried mutton, sauerkraut white meat, stir-fried mixed vegetables, it's like honey, crab and a few rare wild vegetables, and the staple food is noodles with fried sauce.

These are very common home-cooked dishes in Beijing, especially sauerkraut and white meat. This dish originated in the Northeast and is very popular in Beijing.

The sourness of the sauerkraut neutralizes the fatness of the pork, and the fat in the pork gives the sauerkraut its plump taste.

The combination of the two makes this dish a never-to-be-eaten dish, no matter what staple food it is served with.

But the protagonists on the dinner table today are not these meat dishes, nor the few wild vegetables that Ji Wenxuan's apprentice drove to the suburbs to dig, but the almond tofu that everyone's old man chatted about as a teenager, but eventually became a joke.

I don't know how old I really am if I don't move my arms and legs. Even the old man who is the least formal among the few old people is feeling a lot of emotion at this moment, and said to Ji Wenxuan with a smile:

"If Lao Dai beats you right now, I guess I can't really protect you."

Ji Wenxuan laughed: "Why, we are getting old, won't he grow old if he wears old age?"

The old man shook his head: "No, the main reason is that Lao Dai usually looks too shady, just like the villain in a film and television drama, this kind of person is not easy to provoke.

Alas, it's all my fault. Old Dai Tingyang was alone. After being beaten up by me, he didn't smile until he left the job. Now he has a sullen expression from time to time, which probably has something to do with it.

What a handsome old guy, he looks like a nine thousand year old, tsk. "

He wanted to taunt a few more words, but was interrupted by Yu Peiyong with a smile: "Okay, okay, Lao Dai is not here, are you finished?

Xiaozhuo, this almond tofu is your best effort, you should try it first. "

After the boiled almond milk is put into the freezer of the refrigerator, the temperature cools down quickly. When it is time to eat, the temperature has completely dropped, so it is directly served on a plate when eating.

There are two ways to eat almond tofu, one is to eat dry, and the other is to eat with soup.

The so-called dry eating is to take the almond tofu out of the mold, then cut it into squares and place it evenly on the plate, and finally sprinkle some sweet-scented osmanthus.

And to eat with soup, is to put ice cubes in cold boiled water, put the chopped almond tofu in, and then top with sweet-scented osmanthus.

It's refreshing to eat like this, and the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus will not be too strong, which complements the light-tasting almonds.

However, under normal circumstances, it is only eaten in ice water in hot summer, because it can keep the cold feeling for a long time.

In that hot weather, if you eat it dry, it is estimated that half of the almond tofu on the plate will lose its cool taste due to the increase in temperature.

At this moment, because the temperature has not risen, it is natural to use the dry eating method, that is, cut it into large pieces and put it on a plate, and sprinkle some sweet-scented osmanthus on top with a spoon.

The method is simple, and it looks simple but not simple.

Although Yu Peiyong asked to eat first, Xu Zhuo didn't really move his chopsticks.

Just kidding, all the people present here are old people, if he, a junior, is really the first to move his chopsticks, the old man will probably be angry immediately, and he will still be angry.

Because young people are ignorant, people will not laugh at young people, but only at the adults at home who are not well educated.

Xu Zhuo gave way to everyone, and finally the old man moved his chopsticks first, took a piece of almond tofu for himself, and put it in his mouth. After tasting it for a while, he said two words:

"neat!"

These two words do not match with food, but they are perfect when used to describe almond tofu.

Because the almond tofu dessert is neither glutinous nor soft, but has a crisp texture.

This texture makes the almond tofu not sticky, not sticky, very comfortable.

Just imagine, in the hot summer, it is definitely a very rare enjoyment to have such a bowl of almond tofu with a crisp and refreshing taste.

In the words of Beijingers:

"Hey, it's really hopeless!"

Chapter 1511 Determining the Opening Time

After the old man finished speaking neatly, the others also used chopsticks to carefully pick up the trembling almond tofu and taste it.

The white and greasy almond tofu is covered with a little bit of golden sweet-scented osmanthus. This appearance has a kind of extravagance, no wonder it will become a palace delicacy.

The appearance of this royal aura, coupled with the taste that is not strong, is really quite addictive.

After everyone raised their chopsticks, Xu Zhuo also took a piece with his chopsticks and began to taste.

Almond tofu is relatively smooth and tender. When you pick it up with chopsticks, it feels like picking up southern tofu. It is a test of your ability to pick up vegetables.

However, all the chefs present have mastered the use of chopsticks, so they can pick up the almond tofu.

The tofu is trembling, and the golden sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on it are very eye-catching, which is a perfect match with the greasy tofu.

After the entrance, because the sugar osmanthus is on top, the first thing you taste is the sweet and greasy taste of the sugar osmanthus and the unique fragrance of the osmanthus.

However, the sweetness is quickly replaced by the icy taste of almond tofu.

Although the almond tofu has been refrigerated, it does not feel ice-cold in the mouth, but the temperature is slightly lower, so that people will not feel astonished when they suddenly eat ice cubes in their mouths.

The taste of almond tofu is a bit similar to jelly or jelly, but because it has a strong almond flavor and milk flavor, it tastes better than jelly and jelly.

Especially the silky texture, eating it in the mouth is simply an oral enjoyment.

In addition, the sweet taste of the almond tofu is also very unique, and it makes people feel refreshed inexplicably.

After eating, while the mouth is refreshed, the fragrance of almonds and sweet-scented osmanthus still remains, which makes people feel endless aftertaste.

good to eat!

Xu Zhuo immediately decided to upgrade the rewards for this dessert to A-level. After the new store opens, it will be the main dessert in the store.
