Chapter 183: Making Dumplings [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
After settling the account, Xu Zhuo walked to Yao Meixiang's house with the vegetables he bought.
Yu Keke followed him with the pineapple in his hand.
"You don't need to soak this pineapple, right? Can't you just cut it and eat it? I'm so hungry that I have low blood sugar and ......."
The grievances on this girl's face made Xu Zhuo a little crying and laughing.
If you are greedy, you are greedy, what kind of low blood sugar is it.
Xu Zhuo said: "It's not that there are no snacks at home, so when you're hungry, you should have a little bit of food first." When eating pineapple, you must soak it in salted water, not only to increase the taste, but also to prevent pineapple allergies. ”
"There is an ingredient in pineapple, called pineapple prion, which can easily cause allergic reactions when eaten in the stomach, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting or headache, dizziness, shock and other symptoms. ”
"Soak it in salt water, and this pineapple prion will be dissolved, and you will be fine if you eat it again. ”
"Of course, pineapple prion enzyme doesn't work for most people, but it's always good to soak it before eating, so it's better to be prepared. ”
Hearing Xu Zhuo say this, Yu Keke stuck out her tongue, she didn't expect that eating pineapple would be so dangerous.
Back at home, Xu Zhuo put the vegetables he bought in the kitchen, used a kitchen knife to peel off the skin of the pineapple, and then used the tip of the knife to peel out the pimples on the surface.
Wash and slice and soak in salt water.
Then he boiled some boiling water in a pot and boiled some pepper water.
When you add it to the meat filling later, it will be more flavorful than using Sichuan pepper powder.
After cooking, Xu Zhuo put the pepper water in a bowl and set it aside to cool.
Then I sharpened the kitchen knife and began to chop the filling.
Yao Meixiang is idle at this time, and she also came to the kitchen to help.
Seeing Xu Zhuo chopping the stuffing, Yao Meixiang asked curiously: "Why don't you let the meat seller give you a beating? ”
Xu Zhuo smiled: "The chopped stuffing tastes better." And as a chef using a meat grinder to make meat filling, I always feel that it is not professional enough and the style is not high. ”
After listening to Xu Zhuo's words, Yao Meixiang said helplessly: "I have a stinky temper with your godfather, and I am always strict with myself." ”
"When I opened the restaurant, we quarreled a lot about it, as a hotel operator, I pursued profit, and the lower the cost, the better. ”
"But your godfather, everything guarantees quality, and the cost can be two percent higher than that of other restaurants. ”
No way, this is all the style handed down by the old man.
It is better not to make money than to fool customers with shoddy products.
Perhaps the secret of the long-term business of Xujia Restaurant is here.
Be honest with customers, and customers will naturally want to eat.
Opportunism can save costs, but customers are not fools.
You will never be fooled again after eating wrong.
When Xu Zhuo chopped the meat filling, Yao Meixiang also peeled the lotus root she bought and cut it into pieces.
When lotus root is used as a filling, just cut it into small cubes.
It should not be chopped into minced pieces, as it will lose its crisp texture.
Of course, the piece should not be too big, and it is easy to break the dumpling skin when wrapped in the dumpling, and the taste is not very good.
Mix the meat filling first, slowly pour the pepper water into the meat filling, and stir in one direction, so that the meat filling will be strong and the taste will be better.
Sichuan pepper water can not be added at one time, and the score is added a small amount many times to avoid adding too much at a time and the meat filling will fall off.
After stirring, add the seasonings in turn.
Salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, pepper.
In order to improve the freshness, you can also add a little sugar, so that the meat filling will be more tender and have a better taste.
Stir the seasonings and minced meat well, beat them a few times, and set them aside to marinate to absorb the flavor.
Then Xu Zhuo took out the dough, kneaded it first, then put it on the board and woke up for a while, taking advantage of this effort, poured the chopped green onion and lotus root into the meat filling.
Add a little salt and light soy sauce, stir well and taste salty.
If you can, you can make dumplings.
There are many ways to taste the salty filling of dumplings, and you don't necessarily have to try a piece of meat.
Insert chopsticks into the minced meat and pull it out, taste the taste of the juice on the chopsticks, and you can usually tell how much salt there is.
You can also pick a piece of lotus root to taste, and you can also taste it.
Experienced people don't need it, basically what ingredients should be put are very accurate, and there is no need to taste it again.
It's just that Boss Xu's current level of seasoning is still at the entry stage, and it doesn't matter if he usually mixes a cold dish, but when he encounters a difficult operation such as dumpling filling, he has to try it.
In case the car overturns, the wrapped dumplings are not perfect, and they are not even edible.
Then the fun will be great.
"How's it going?
Yao Meixiang leaned aside and watched Xu Zhuo taste several sips in a row, a little curious.
Boss Xu put down his chopsticks and tasted the taste of the dumpling filling again, with a hesitant expression.
"Didn't taste ......"
Yao Meixiang immediately couldn't hold back her laughter.
"It seems that your seasoning skills are not good, when your godfather is as old as you, he never tastes the meat filling, and the taste is exactly the same......"
Xu Zhuo himself also knew that he lacked too much in seasoning, and he would have to practice more if he was okay in the future.
You can't all count on the system.
Relying on the system, I don't know when the seasoning will be advanced.
Yao Meixiang tasted the meat filling, nodded and said, "Yes, it tastes very good." ”
However, she immediately had an idea, looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "I just don't have any other taste, why don't we cut some two wattle strips and put them in?"
When Boss Xu heard this, he immediately refused: "That's not good, you can't put chili peppers in it, the water content of chili peppers is too large, and there will be a lot of soup in the boiled dumplings, which will affect the taste." ”
"If you really like spicy food so much, I'll give you some steamed buns with chili peppers, and you can put green chili peppers in the buns. ”
Yao Meixiang didn't react for a while: "Why, aren't all buns and dumplings the same?"
Xu Zhuo shook his head: "You can put vermicelli in the bun, which can absorb the soup." ”
After speaking, Xu Zhuo began to knead the dough.
As soon as he was about to start, Yao Meixiang said: "Don't pack it in the kitchen, it's weird hot, it's in the living room, there is air conditioning, and the two little girls can also help......"
Xu Zhuo turned his face and glanced at Sun Panpan, who was nesting in the sofa and making up the anime, and Yu Keke, who didn't know who he was chatting with, and hesitated.
Can these two girls help?
It's almost as good as a favor.
However, there is air conditioning in the living room, which Boss Xu likes very much.
He moved the board to the living room and brought out the minced meat.
Take a few more trays for the dumplings.
After everything was ready, Xu Zhuo said to the two girls: "Stop playing, prepare to make dumplings, and you two will do it today." ”
Yao Meixiang also said with a smile: "Making dumplings, it's lively when the family works together." Besides, it's not difficult to make dumplings, and a little doll of a few years old can learn it, so surely you two will too, right?"
As a result, the two girls said in unison: "No!"
