Chapter 965: Do You Want to Learn to Cook Cakes? [Asking for Tickets]
Place the cauldron on the stove, pour in the peeled peas that have been soaked and soft, then pour in half a basin of water and boil over the heat.
The method of pea yellow is very simple, there are four steps: boiling, filtering, sugar frying, and molding.
But if you want it to be delicious, you have to pay attention to every step.
Take the step of pouring water as an example, and the principle of less is better than more.
In other words, if you don't have enough experience, then try to pour more water, and prefer more than less.
Of course, it can't be too much, if a bowl of beans makes a pot of water, how long will it take?
Generally, it is enough to add water in a ratio of 1:1, because the peas have been thoroughly soaked in water and expanded, and they will no longer absorb water when boiling, and it is useless to have too much water.
But it is also better than less, because if there is less water, not only is it easy to paste the bottom when boiling, but also the refried beans are easy to stick to the strainer when filtering.
Soon, the water in the pot was boiling.
Xu Zhuo took the spoon and began to stir in the pot, this is done to prevent the bottom from sticking, and also to allow the beans to break up as soon as possible and turn into refried beans.
To make pea yoshi, you can actually cook the beans and beat them in a food processor.
However, Xu Zhuo has the blessing of skills, so he naturally prefers to do it in traditional ways.
It's not just that the traditional method makes it more feeling, but the main thing is that this method is boiled for a long enough time, and the pea will have a more fragrant flavor.
The beans in the pot had already soaked before they were boiled, so not long after the water in the pot boiled, Xu Zhuo stirred it with a spoon, and those whole peas shattered.
However, if you want to turn peas into pureed beans, you have to continue to boil and stir.
Make the large peas into small pieces, and the small peas into smaller pieces, until all the peas in the pot have turned into refried beans, which is considered a success.
This is very similar to making mung bean paste before, it needs to be boiled and stirred for a long time, you can't be lazy, and you can't give up halfway.
So twenty minutes later, Xu Zhuo regretted not using the food processor a little.
Anyway, it's not to complete the task, it's just to try something new, there's no need to be so serious.
However, it has reached this point, and it is a little impossible to crush it little by little with a food processor, so I can only continue to grasp the spoon and stir.
When the peas in the pot gradually fused with the water and turned into pale yellow remedy, and there were no large peas in sight, Xu Zhuo turned off the heat and closed the lid of the pot.
Stuff like this for about ten minutes, and then give the remaining pea crumbs in the pot a chance.
Ten minutes later, Xu Zhuo lifted the lid of the pot, stirred it in the pot with a spoon for a while, and brought a large fine mesh sieve over and placed it on top of a clean basin.
He then scoops out the boiled bean paste with a spoon and pours it onto a fine mesh sieve.
Because the refried bean is relatively thin, after pouring it, the refried bean paste falls into the basin under the action of gravity, leaving only some crumbs filtered out.
In fact, pea yellow is divided into two kinds, one is filtered, and this taste is more delicate.
There is also an unfiltered one, called brown pea yellow, which can eat the pea crumbs inside, which makes people feel like they are eating desserts mixed with crumbs.
Relatively speaking, rough pea yellow is more satiety because it is chewy, and it was liked by people at the bottom in the past.
And the upper class people eat pea yellow as a dessert, so they naturally choose filtered pea yellow.
Because he learned the skills, Xu Zhuo knew how to do both, but when he did it, he didn't hesitate to choose the filtering method.
It's not that I feel like I'm superior, but the customers who come to eat always have the arrogance of a superior person.
In this case, Xu Zhuo naturally has to prepare a way to eat that the superior likes.
After all, when you get this pea yellow skill, you have to take it out to make money.
Otherwise, when will the courtyard house in the capital be available?
Even if the customer's response is average, it can be sealed and packaged for sale in Xu Xiaochu's flagship store.
The refried beans are filtered very quickly, and it only takes about ten minutes, and the small half pot of refried beans has been filtered.
The benefits of putting more water in the cooking process are reflected here.
After straining, Xu Zhuo began to do the next step - sugar frying.
This step is said to be stir-frying, but in fact, there is no oil in the pot, and the specific method is similar to the steps of rolling dough, pour the thin bean paste into the pot and start stirring, until it is sticky and non-sticky.
Xu Zhuo put the non-stick pan on the stove, poured all the bean paste in the pot into the pot without waiting for the pot to heat up, and then put two large spoons of white sugar into the pot.
This step is not only to sweeten the peas, but also to bring out the flavor of the peas in this way.
As time goes on, the pea puree in the pot becomes thicker and thicker, and the flavor becomes more and more intense.
However, this is still too early to be completed, and further stir-fry is needed.
It is not until you use a spatula to scoop up the pea puree in the pot that the pea puree will appear layered after dripping down before turning off the heat and removing the pot.
"Why don't you keep frying?"
Xu Zhuo just turned off the fire, only to find that Feng Weiguo didn't know when he came over, and his eyes looked directly at the pea puree in the pot, as if he was thinking about something.
Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "This degree is the best, and if you fry it again, the pea yellow will dry out and crack after it solidifies, and the taste will become worse." ”
Pea yellow is not fried as dry as possible, but fried like chocolate sauce.
This is somewhat similar to stir-fried mashed sweet potatoes.
Xu Zhuo took out the pea puree from the pot, put it into a deep square tray, smoothed it with a spatula, and sent it to the cold storage to cool it.
After doing this step, he looked at Feng Weiguo, who had not spoken, and asked, "Grandpa Feng still remembered the experience of being trained when he was an apprentice in the past?"
Feng Weiguo glanced at him: "You kid, you are starting to be so big and small." ”
After a pause, he said: "This method is very similar to our mung bean cake in Shanxi, and it is also made in this way. Little clumsy, do you want to learn Shanxi's desserts?"
Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment: "Since mung bean cake is the same as this method, I'll just try it with mung beans when I go back, and I still need to learn?"
Feng Weiguo smiled: "It's not to learn this, it's to learn another Shanxi dessert, called Wenxi Boiled Cake, which is the king of cakes in Shanxi dim sum." ”
Wenxi boiled cakes?
Xu asked in surprise, "Boiled?"
Feng Weiguo shook his head: "No, it's fried." Shanxi people are used to saying that fried is boiled, if you want to learn, I will teach you back. ”
Xu Zhuo naturally agreed, he had a strong interest in this kind of food that he had never seen before, so he did not refuse after listening to Feng Weiguo's words.
But I didn't have time to study this week, because I was going out to dig wild vegetables soon.
It's hard to be able to accompany the old lady once, but I can't let other things delay.
He was just about to say something to Feng Weiguo, but who knew that the old man spoke first: "I have been teaching Xingwang to make noodles and cook cakes for the past few days, and I will talk about it when I am not busy in a few days." ”
Well?
actually left me aside for the sake of Guo Xingwang.
It seems that the reward for accepting apprentices is almost there.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo suddenly felt that the crab's task had to be speeded up, and he would finish all the tasks of these leftovers this year, and work hard for a year next year, and strive to buy the courtyard the year after next!
