Communicate friendly with food

Polar House kitchen.

"All in all, let's make mapo tofu first, ah, fortunately, Zheng Bai, you joined me, it will save a lot of trouble."

"Don't be too happy too early." Zheng Bai said, "In short, you can evaluate after you eat what I made."

After Zheng Bai finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work, but he divided two pots to cook it, and after a while, the two plates of mapo tofu, which seemed to be exactly the same, came out, and Zheng Bai put it in front of Xingping: "Here, try it. "

Pick up the spoon and scoop up the left one, and then scoop up the right one after eating.

Both dishes are a combination of extreme spicy and spicy, but Xingping found that the taste is slightly different.The one on the left is the taste of Jiugaliu, and the one on the right is not as good as the one on the left. The mapo tofu is obviously made by the same person. Why is the taste different?

"Eat it out, the taste I made is different from that of Jiuga." Seeing Xingping's doubts, Zheng Bai took the initiative to answer, "The method is completely the same, the only difference is that the bean paste used in the two It's different."

"Doubanjiang..." Before Xingping finished speaking, Zheng Bai sharply saw a blue-haired girl poking in from the kitchen door.

"Xiaohui, Xiaohui, do you want to come in and have a taste?"

"Did you bother you?" Xiaohui walked in and asked, "What are you doing now?"

"No, no," Zheng Bai stuffed Xiao Hui with a spoon without saying a word, "Would you like to try it?"

Xiaohui seemed to have no resistance to spicy food, so after a few mouthfuls, she hurried to pour ice water to drink.

"How about it, do you think that tastes better?" Zheng Bai took the initiative to ask when Xiaohui came over.

"Well, the one on the left, although it is very spicy, but this one seems to be better." Sure enough, I chose the one on the left.Zheng Bai returned to the previous question: "The bean paste used in the two dishes is different. The bean paste used in Jiu Woliu's Mapo Tofu is made by himself. The bean paste on the other dish is bought by me at the supermarket. Yes. As for the bean paste I used for a long time, that’s all I have left.”

Zheng Bai put the bean paste on the cooking table in front of them, and there was only a pitiful quarter left.

"If you want to use the same cuisine to compare with Jiuga-senpai, you can't do it from this point." If I could learn Uncle Lu's recipe back then, I wouldn't be so passive...

"Hmm..." Xingping crossed his arms and fell into thought, Xiaohui thought for a while, and took out a stack of things from the bag he was carrying: "Well, although I think these things are useless for Ah Bai here, I still go find them. I brought some Chinese recipes over..."

"Strange? Tiansuo, you don't open a store with other people in the dormitory, shouldn't Senior Isshiki have invited you?"

"Huh? Hmm...the Local Cuisine Research Association also wanted to open a store, but I rejected both parties."

"Hey? Why?"

"Because I thought Mr. Chuangzhen didn't have enough manpower here?"

"..."

Why?Hey hey? ! !

This answer!Zheng Bai seemed to understand something, his whole body was instantly awake, and he looked at Xiaohui with the eyes of someone who had been there.

Xiao Hui?After being silent for two seconds, Xiaohui realized what she had said, her face flushed instantly and she stammered and explained: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm sorry, but I actually think it's a matter of course to help you." What! But, but my family also runs a hotel, I also receive guests and so on, and I learned something during my internship, so I think I should be able to help you."

"So, so, if possible, I would like to help in Mr. Chuangzhen's shop."

"... Tiansuo." Xingping said, "Really, it was a great help!"

"Ah, um!"

"Are you only helping in Chuang~zhen~jun~'s shop? Xiaohui, I will be very sad." Zheng Bai interjected with a smile.

"No, no, I also want to help Abai."

"I understand, I understand. After all, Mr. Chuangzhen is more important." Zheng Bai said, successfully seeing Xiaohui's blushing face, feeling very happy.

I think I can cook more happily in the future!

Team: The player [Tian Suohui] joined the team of [Xing Ping Chuangzhen].

After playing for a long time, the trio of my team gathered in the kitchen of the Jixing dormitory to continue discussing the next development.

"I don't think it's okay to use spicy food to make spicy food." Zheng Bai said bluntly, "Senior Jiu's obsession with spicy food is simply frightening. I am obsessed with making spicy dishes. And you don’t have an intuitive understanding like me. He has already reached a very high level in the practice of spicy dishes. Now I can’t catch up with him. Although I also cook Chinese cuisine, Chinese cuisine There are too many cuisines, and I am only good at Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine is really not my strong point."

"Well, there are so many Chinese cuisines, so it's okay to use other cuisines. After all, Mr. Chuangzhen first set the topic: Chinese cuisine." Xiaohui said.

"Ah, you are right... Well, China, China, I remember what my father said before..." Xingping fell into deep thought again.After coming over for a while, he hesitated and said, "Zheng, do you know a kind of cake made of pepper and baked in a special stone kiln?"

"?" Zheng Bai was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said uncertainly: "Pepper cake?"

"That's right! That's the name! A Taiwanese snack, right? My dad made it when I was young, but I forgot the name."

Zheng Bai thought for a while, and felt that this idea was reliable: "You want to make pepper cakes? Pepper cakes pay attention to seasoning, the taste is slightly spicy, and the taste is crispy. The preparation is more troublesome, but the baking is much simpler, and there are fewer workers. It can also be operated, and it is indeed suitable for sales at school festivals.”

"You think so too!" Xing Ping said excitedly.

"Let's make it first and then talk about it. There is also a stove for baking. We are making a stove now. I don't know if there is enough time."

"I can ask Hojo-kun about the stove, she may know if there is one in the school."

"That's up to you, Tiansuo."

"Then let's try to make pepper cakes. I haven't done it before." Zheng Bai said, and started to work on it.

The practice of pepper cake can be said to be very cumbersome.

Meat filling requires lean meat, pork suet, black and white pepper, five-spice powder, salt, sugar, green onions, and soy sauce.This is just the basic method. Different shops in Taiwan's food stalls will add cinnamon, star anise, cumin and other spices according to their own preferences.

Chop the white scallions as finely as possible, and cut the green onions into finely chopped scallions, and set aside for later use.

Mix the lean meat and pork suet, add salt and mix well, then add the rest of the seasonings and continue to mix well, mix everything well and then chill for more than one hour.

You need to make oil skin and pastry for the dough, and you need all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and lard for the oil skin.Pour sugar, yeast, lard, and water into the flour and knead until the surface is smooth.

Pastry requires lard and low-gluten flour.Pour the low-gluten flour into the pork in batches and stir evenly.

Spread out a small ball of oil skin and wrap a small ball of pastry, pinch the seal tightly like a steamed bun, then spread it out into a long strip with a dough pin, then roll it into a roll, and set aside to leaven the dough.

After the dough is finished, spread out and wrap the minced meat and chopped green onion, wrap it up, dip the smooth side with a mixture of eggs and water, stick sesame seeds, before the stove comes, and finally put it in the oven for baking.

The baking time does not need to be too long, more than ten minutes is enough. The pepper cakes that have just been baked are crispy on the outside and dripping with soup inside. People can't stop, and more than ten or nearly twenty pepper cakes can be produced in one batch, which is the most convenient for opening a small stall.

It seems that making pepper cakes should be a good topic?

The author has something to say:

I'm hungry.

The method of making pepper cakes is one of the one-hundred-dish scallion dishes. It really feels cumbersome to look at...but it looks delicious
