Chapter 510: Rock Sugar Gourd [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
To make rock sugar gourd, you have to remove the seeds of hawthorn.
This may seem like a hassle, but it's actually easy to do.
Xu Zhuo once watched a video of processing hawthorn seeds, coupled with his superb knife skills, he felt that it was not very difficult to make sugar gourds.
Of course, whether this will work or not has to be tested first.
He went back to the kitchen and soaked the bag of bamboo skewers in water and cleaned it with a steel wool ball.
Remove the burrs on it to save yourself from hurting your mouth when you eat it later.
Then take the remaining hawthorns that have just been made into sugar-fried hawthorn and start to wear them on top of the bamboo skewers.
Yes, if you want to quickly remove the hawthorn seeds, you have to put the hawthorn seeds on the bamboo skewers first.
Wear six pieces per string, not too many.
It's not that you're afraid of eating too much.
The main thing is that if you wear too much, the sugar gourd will be very long.
Later, the pot used to boil the sugar is a round-bottomed pot, and the sugar gourd is too long to be pressed into the syrup, so it is better to be shorter.
Besides, I bought a whole pack of bamboo skewers, which is definitely enough.
After putting on the sugar gourd, Xu Zhuo took a knife and began to seed the hawthorn.
First go down from the middle of the hawthorn, cut it hard to the part of the hawthorn seed, and then change the position and cut the hawthorn all the circle to the position of the hawthorn seed.
Then push the upper part of the hawthorn upwards, pushing it almost half a hawthorn distance.
At this time, the hawthorn seeds are all exposed to the air.
Use the tip of a knife to gently scrape off all the hawthorn seeds.
Then the next moment the hawthorn is also brewed in the same way.
When pushing upwards, directly let the previous hawthorn merge into one.
Then go ahead and do it.
Soon, the hawthorn seeds in the six hawthorns were cleaned up.
After one was cleaned up, it took more than two minutes, and this was still unskilled.
Those skilled workers do this, and it only takes more than a minute to clean one.
When Xu Zhuo began to clean up the hawthorn seeds, the old man Feng Weiguo, Xue Mingliang and Cao Kun were idle and came over to help.
It's not yet time for the afternoon meal, and the ingredients for the afternoon are basically ready.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to come over and help.
And Xu Zhuo's method of removing hawthorn seeds also looks quite fun.
So by the time Li Hao drove back the fruit he was going to use, more than 20 strings of sugar gourds had already been packed.
There are many types of water that Li Hao bought.
In addition to the kinds of little girl ordered, I also bought strawberries, cherry tomatoes, kiwi and other varieties suitable for sugar gourds.
Xu Zhuo cleaned them one by one, dipped the surface moisture off the surface with absorbent paper, and then wore them with bamboo skewers and put them together with the processed hawthorns for later use.
"Why are they all round, not flat?"
Li Hao glanced at it and felt a little strange.
Xu Zhuo smiled: "It's best not to eat those flat ones when eating sugar gourds, many of them are made of soft or even rotten hawthorns, and if you want to eat them, you can eat round ones, this is delicious." ”
Of course, Xu Zhuo didn't say everything.
However, since he was in college, he ate a bite of rotten hawthorn when he ate a flat sugar gourd, and he has never bought that kind of flat sugar gourd.
After making the preparations, Xu Zhuo began to boil the sugar.
To be on the safe side, this time we will add water in a one-to-one ratio.
Then turn on the high heat and stir while waiting for the rock sugar in the pot to melt.
This time, the old man stood beside Xu Zhuo and wanted to see how high Xu Zhuo's level of boiling sugar was.
Xu Zhuo didn't panic, still stirring the sugar juice in the pot unhurriedly.
Just like just now, when the rock sugar melts, turn down the heat, then stop stirring, and quietly watch the changes in the syrup in the pot.
In the boiling state, the water in the pot evaporates quickly.
Soon, sporadic bubbles came out of the pot.
As the water evaporates, the bubbles become more and more dense.
"Still not good?"
The old man saw that Xu Zhuo was quite calm, and couldn't help but ask.
Of course, he knows how far he needs to boil sugar to make sugar gourds.
Asking it out at this time is to test Xu Zhuo.
By the way, remind you that Xu Zhuo will not be distracted at this time.
"I'll have to wait a few more minutes, the tutorial says it's good to wait for the syrup to change color slightly. ”
The old man nodded, Xu Zhuo was right, when it turned slightly yellow, the syrup would be crispy after cooling.
This is the syrup that is suitable for making sugar gourds.
Soon, the syrup in the pan began to gradually turn yellow.
Xu Zhuo turned the heat to the point of a slight flame, then took a chopstick, dipped it in the syrup in the pot, put it in cold water, and then took it out and tasted it.
The syrup on the head of the chopsticks has solidified and is crispy in the mouth.
This means that the syrup is ready.
He turned off the heat, took the sugar gourd and began to dip the pot in the syrup.
The old man brought a tray, brushed a layer of cooked oil on it, and placed it beside Xu Zhuo.
Xu Zhuo put the sugar gourd dipped in syrup.
The resulting sugar gourd, with syrup on the side of the tray, will form a flat surface.
When he was a child, Xu Zhuo's favorite thing to eat was this part of the candy cube.
When it was full, the old man took the tray away and replaced it with a new one.
Strings of rock sugar gourds are ready.
After cooling, the syrup forms a layer of glass-like crystals.
It looks sparkling and has a special appetite.
That's how the glass in the five-part fried sugar trilogy came about.
After all the sugar gourds were cooled, Xu Zhuo and Cao Kun Xue Mingliang sent them out.
In the back kitchen, except for a few apprentices who ate a bunch of them, no one else moved.
It's too sweet, and eating too much is not good for the body.
But they don't eat it, and the girls outside are already crazy.
Hawthorn, grape, strawberry, banana, cherry tomatoes, oranges, kiwi......
When the various sugar gourds were brought out, they were all dumbfounded.
"Wow! That's a lot!"
The little girl was even more happy and her eyes lit up: "Mine, it's all mine!"
After speaking, she couldn't wait to pick up a bunch, and after taking a bite, her eyes narrowed into a slit: "It's crispy and sweet, no seeds, it's really delicious." ”
"Eat more if it's delicious, it's meant for you. ”
After Xu Zhuo finished speaking, he walked to the side and sat down to rest.
This busy work really tired him enough.
It's not a big job, but it's more laborious.
After all, it's a primary skill, although it can be used, but you have to pay attention everywhere, and if you're not careful, it will overturn.
If the car rolls over, the character he managed to create will collapse.
As soon as he sat down, Xu Zhuo heard Meng Liwei and Li Hao chatting about where to broadcast live at night.
"I ate the red stew several times, and the fans were annoyed, there were only a few buffets in Linping City, and I couldn't go, and the waiters who went to eat were probably dangling in front of my camera, so I couldn't broadcast live. ”
Speaking of the live broadcast, Meng Liwei also had a bitter tear.
In recent years, there are too many people live broadcasting, and some people are obviously swindling, so some restaurants prohibit customers from live broadcasting.
Of course, there is another reason why Meng Liwei didn't say it.
He eats just too much......
