Chapter 112: Borneol Candy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Ingredients, what ingredients?"
"I've eaten kelp mung bean paste in Yangcheng, tangerine peel mung bean paste, and stinky grass mung bean paste that the locals love to eat, are these three ingredients you are talking about?"
Xu Zhuo shook his head: "No, the ingredient I'm talking about is borneol sugar, which is almost the soul of mung bean paste." 35xsā
Borneol candy is a kind of sugar that is deeply loved by the masses in Guangdong.
It is different from ordinary white sugar and red sugar, and also different from powdered sugar, flake sugar, brick sugar, bowl candy and basket sugar in brown sugar.
However, it maintains the characteristic sugarcane sweetness of brown sugar, which is similar to the purity and sweetness of rock sugar.
Borneol candy is widely used, and many Cantonese or Hong Kong-style desserts have borneol candy.
And mung bean paste is one of them.
Xu Zhuo hadn't planned to make mung bean paste today, but when he went to the utility room to look for mung beans, he found a box of borneol candy.
I don't know when Chen Guifang sent it, it is estimated that this thing will not be sold in the provincial capital, so she threw it here.
Since mung beans and borneol candy are available, Xu Zhuo naturally can't wait to try it.
D-grade signboard, I made this mung bean paste.
If it doesn't taste good, Xu Zhuo really won't forgive himself.
Yu Keke was more confident than him, and at this moment, the mung beans began to circle around the pot as soon as they got out of the pot.
"It's going to be delicious, I'm going to have three bowls later!"
Xu Zhuo smiled: "That's not good, this thing is cold, eating too much is not good for the stomach, you better save it." Flash"
"Besides, there are only a few bowls of these in the pot, so you can eat them, what are we eating?"
Yes, Boss Xu's straight man attribute is online again.
However, Coco not only did not get angry, but also muttered in her heart.
If you care about me, you care about me, you have to say ugly things, is this how the handsome boss expresses his love?
It must be, otherwise why would he be so nervous?
After the water in the pot boiled, Xu Zhuo turned the heat to the maximum and kept stirring in the pot with a spoon.
The reason why the traditional practice is abandoned by many businesses is that it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
In the early stage of boiling, you have to keep stirring like this.
The main reason for this is to facilitate the separation of the shell of the mung bean.
These shells have to be fished out, otherwise it will affect the taste of the mung bean paste.
Xu Zhuo acted together with both hands, stirring the spoon with one hand and holding the leaky net with the other, and kept scooping out the mung bean skin floating in the pot.
After boiling on high heat for about ten minutes, basically all the shells of mung beans have been detached.
Now it's time to turn to low heat and slow down.
The mung beans that have been peeled off their shells are slowly boiled and turned into a powder.
This step is the sand of mung beans.
Pick out all the remaining mung bean shells, cover the pan and simmer slowly for an hour.
When the water in the pot is about the same, the mung bean paste is ready.
The viscous mung bean paste is very homogeneous, and after a long period of boiling, the mung bean paste becomes very delicate.
Yu Keke leaned on the side of the pot, looking at this magical scene, and couldn't help but smack her lips.
"Oh, put it in the mold and freeze it later, isn't it a mung bean sorbet?"
Xu Zhuo nodded: "Yes, but you have to put sugar, it's not delicious without sugar." ā
The ratio of sugar to mung beans is 1:4, Xu Zhuo took the borneol sugar, weighed it slightly, and then threw it into the pot.
Stir a few times, cover the pan and let simmer for three to five minutes.
Then turn off the heat.
When the lid of the pot is lifted, a sweet fragrance suddenly comes to my nose.
This taste makes people feel like they are in a dessert shop in Yangcheng for a moment.
The sugar in the pot has melted, and in order to avoid uneven sugar content, Xu Zhuo stirred it a few more times, and then removed it from the pot.
There were a total of six bowls, and before Xu Zhuo could put them in the refrigerator to chill, Yu Keke snatched one bowl and ran out with a spoon.
"Panpan, look at the mung bean paste made by the handsome guy boss, it tastes really good......"
Xu Zhuo shook his head helplessly, this girl is always like a child.
He put the bowls of mung bean paste in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, which had to be chilled to be delicious.
When he got outside, Xu Zhuo found that the truant trio was all around the steaming mung bean paste that night.
Seeing Xu Zhuo come out, Li Hao had a surprise on his face: "It's so delicious! I really didn't expect you to have this kind of craftsmanship." ā
Sun Panpan also nodded again and again: "It's sandy and dense, and the taste is super good, much better than the mung bean paste made by those cooking machines." ā
Yu Keke even took selfies from various angles.
and then posted a circle of friends in a smug manner.
"Alas, the male god has made me delicious food again, and I feel like I'm really going to be fed a pig by him, so annoying...... Is this love?"
This girl has more and more potential to be a drama talent.
Xu Zhuo walked over, took a clean spoon from the side, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a sweet and delicious taste spread in his mouth.
And the dense sand mung beans are even more delicious to the point of exploding.
It's still eaten hot, and when it's chilled, it is estimated that the taste will be even better.
A bowl in the summer is absolutely fire extinguishing and appetizing.
Now, Boss Xu has a new understanding of the mung bean paste that was drawn.
I regretted it before, but now that I taste it, the taste is really amazing.
It really deserves the name of a D-grade signature dish.
Once this thing is on the market, it will definitely trigger a new explosion.
If the meals that were introduced before were more popular with boys, then this mung bean paste would definitely make most girls unable to refuse.
However, this thing is too complicated to make, and it needs to be chilled, and the conditions in the store are a bit out of reach.
"Boss Xu, I think we can add some ice to it, isn't this just a mung bean smoothie, when the time comes, use a cauldron, and someone will serve a portion, which is not only convenient, but also very popular." ā
Li Hao, a foodie, has a more divergent thinking in this regard.
Since you can't chill it, add ice to it.
Xu Zhuo thought about it, this method is indeed feasible.
And the mung bean smoothie is slightly thinner than the mung bean paste, which is more refreshing to drink.
After deciding on it, Xu Zhuo called Chen Guifang and asked her to buy an ice machine from the provincial capital and send it over, the sooner the better.
Chen Guifang was very curious about Xu Zhuo's request: "Son, what do you want to do with the ice machine? That's only used in cold drink shops, if you want to use ice, just freeze it in the refrigerator." ā
If the dosage is small, it is true that you can freeze a little directly.
But since Xu Zhuo is going to launch a new product in the store this time, he naturally won't make do.
Moreover, the ice maker can be made directly into smoothies, which is convenient to use.
Xu Zhuo said: "I am going to sell mung bean smoothies in the store, and now that it is hot, it should be very good......
Before he finished speaking, Chen Guifang interrupted him: "Just the kind that Coco posted in the circle of friends just now? Don't you say it earlier, wait, I'll buy an ice machine now, and it will definitely be delivered before dark." ā
She was so refreshing, a little beyond Xu Zhuo's expectations.
Could it be that Chen Guifang has evolved to see business opportunities through photos?
