Rebirth as a Cooking God

Of course the steak needs to be cut. If not cut, how can it be stuffed into the snacks and turned into fillings?

But Xia Yu's cutting didn't come slowly and slowly with one knife after another.

The moment he held the knife, he pointed it at the beef on the plate from a distance, from left to right, and from top to bottom, making a criss-cross slash.

Zhu Qing's pupils shrank at this moment.

That is……

She felt a strong sense of familiarity, but also quite unfamiliar.

It's definitely the cooking skills I'm familiar with, but he added his own things! This little nephew is not simple! Zhu Qing was startled, then smiled beautifully.

On the plate, the steak has become neatly diced.

Of course, the fried steak will not be fully cooked. Moreover, these diced beef will be put into the frying pan after a while, so Xia Yu controls the heat very well when frying. The outer layer of the cut beef dices is crispy and yellow, and the inside is crispy. It was tender meat, red, with some blood stains on it.

Heat the pan again.

Pour in the diced beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper for simple seasoning. You can also add some soy sauce to increase the flavor of the beef juice.

Then, there are the fans.

Fans are also called winter fans, and they have a strange name here in Neon - 'Chun Yu'.

Xia Yu soaked the vermicelli in the simplest hot water until soft, drained the water, and mixed it with the diced beef in the pot. So the vermicelli that was translucent at first, after absorbing the beef juice, bursts of attractive texture appeared. Strong aroma.

At this point, open the lid of the container and take out the dough that has been left for 15 minutes.

After the dough rising step, the next step is filling.

The Golden Smile recipe does not require the appearance of the food, and it does not require folds like steamed buns. However, if you think that this golden recipe is easy in this step, you are totally wrong.

If the final snack wants to make a sound, the internal structure must be very particular. A little more or less filling can directly affect the quality.

Anyway, it was the first time to practice. Xia Yu was very relaxed and chopped off small pieces of dough with a knife.

Well, for the first one, add about 50% of the filling, leaving half the space.

Second, 60%.

The third one has a smaller increase, 65%.

Until 80%, there will soon be eight or nine round dough balls on the table.

After wrapping the fillings in, Xia Yu kneaded them casually, and the round snacks took shape.

What are these? Beef stuffed buns?

Aunt Zhu Qing finally couldn't help but speak out.

The fragrant wind blew, and she came closer to sniff, curiosity clearly written in her eyes.

“A very interesting snack.”

Xia Yu said casually, picked up a small knife, and under the astonished and puzzled eyes of her aunt, cut a small slit in the round white dough. The slit was straight through, and the aroma of beef immediately emerged.

Zhu Qing blinked and saw Xia Yu holding his chin, staring at several oil bottles on the kitchen table, and pondered for a while.

Sesame oil, cottonseed oil, rapeseed oil, and safflower seed oil are all popular frying supplies in Japanese tempura restaurants... Xia Yu glanced over, However, camellia oil and corn oil are also used. , soybean oil.”

The importance of fats and oils in fried dishes is self-evident.

Of course, some stores will blend oils instead of using a single oil to learn from each other's strengths. Anyway, all kinds of oils have their advantages and disadvantages.

The sesame oil has a mellow aroma, and the fried items are more colorful.

“Safflower seed oil brings a refreshing taste…”

Xia Yu scratched his head, sighed and had trouble choosing again. He gritted his teeth and said: That's all, it's an experimental practice anyway. Try every oil, starting with sesame oil!

So, I took the fat and poured it into the pot and heated it.

The problem comes again.

What oil temperature should be used?

The recipe is very vague on these small details, so don't let this make you careless in the actual cooking process. Xia Yu has many experiences of succumbing to details.

The smoke point of sesame oil is 210 degrees Celsius. Beyond this line, the oil will produce harmful substances... Under normal circumstances, the oil temperature used for fried foods is between 160-190 degrees...

Xia Yu thought to himself, and used [Explosion Flame] to detect the rapidly rising temperature in the frying pan.

good!

160 degrees is here, let's try this temperature first!

Feeling refreshed, Xia Yu used a pair of silver steel chopsticks to gently pick up the round dough and put it into the boiling oil.

The white dough is turning yellow at a rate visible to the naked eye.

After more than ten seconds, tap the dough with chopsticks again. It will feel hard to the touch.

Grease, in!

Next to him, Zhu Qing's eyes were fixed on the opening of the dough. The hot oil poured into the inside along the opening. Wouldn't it destroy the filling?

According to common sense, you should try to avoid contact between fillings and frying oil.

About a minute and a half.

The heat has arrived!

As soon as I picked it up with chopsticks, the fried pastry was drained of fat and placed on the plate.

The strong aroma seemed to form a big net, covering the kitchen.

But, there is no sound!

What about laughter?

Xia Yu felt frustrated. The first time was indeed a failure!

Ripe means fully cooked. The inside is 100% cooked, but I don't know how it tastes. Xia Yu looked at the golden pastry on the plate with anticipation, Let's try it!

After a while, I tried to pick it up with my hands, and sure enough it wasn't hot anymore.

The focused Xia Yu didn't notice that Zhu Qing kept wiping the corners of his mouth, so he picked up the pastry and took a bite. The crispy dough shattered when his teeth fell down, and at the same time, the flavor of vermicelli noodles and diced beef poured into his mouth.

The entire gums are mobilized.

The diced beef that has been fried and then went through a deep-frying process becomes crispy and tender.

The key is that the fried vermicelli inside completely seals the absorbed beef juice inside. When he chews it with his teeth, these vermicelli are like small transportation pipes, all broken in the mouth, and all the beef juice rushes out at that moment, but Just imagine how explosive the taste will be.

It tastes good, but it doesn't feel right.

After finishing the food with an expressionless face, Xia Yu smacked his lips and went to fry another one.

However, as soon as the golden pastry came out of the pan, a rather expectant voice said: Let me try it too!

Zhu Qing's delicate and beautiful eyes looked at him with earnestness.

Chef Lin, do you also want to eat this kind of experimental failure?

Xia Yu was greatly surprised.

Isn't Chef Lin a human being?

My aunt's eyes widened and she asked even more strangely: Do you think Chef Lin really only eats delicacies from the mountains and seas? When we come up with new ideas, we have to taste the dark works we cook over and over again...

She laughed.

She looked a little weird when she mentioned dark works, but Xia Yu didn't notice.

Come on, give it to me!

As she said that, she directly stretched out her palm to grab the fried food on the plate. Zhu Qing frowned slightly. It was obvious that the food was still relatively hot, but her appetite overcame the weak pain. She smiled expectantly: Speaking of which, my good nephew. This is my first time to taste your craftsmanship!

Silver teeth bit down.

oh!

The crispy dough and fillings filled her mouth, and her red mouth opened slightly. Zhu Qing was surprised: ...do all the masterpieces have such a shocking taste? One bite is satisfying, and the hot beef juice overflows. My mouth is full, I’m so, so happy!”

Hearing this, Xia Yu was even more confused and his face wrinkled up.

Why are there no special effects?

Sound, sound!
