Chapter 176: A Plate of "Flowers" (8/8)
"What are you doing?" Lan Xin is actually a very kind little girl, except when facing food, she is nibbling on chicken wings with her left hand, and blocking the chopsticks that the little boy stretched out with her right hand.
But the little boy didn't have the courage to argue, as if he had been discovered doing something bad, he hung his head and whispered, "I see that you are all eating, and I want to eat a piece too." ”
Xixi took Lan Xin's hand, the little girl has now eaten a big flower cat, but it is also a beautiful big flower cat, and said: "It's okay, Xin'er, I made a lot of poop, and then everyone can eat it!"
Lan Xin withdrew her hand stupidly, but she preemptively sandwiched the second chicken wing she was eyeing into the lunch box before she looked at the little boy triumphantly.
However, the other party didn't care about her, and the little boy happily sandwiched a piece of chicken wings, and then thanked Xixi.
The sentence "thank you" made the little girl so happy that her eyes narrowed into a small crescent.
……
While Xixi was having lunch with her friends, Yang Yi and Murphy were living in a two-person world.
When he got home, Murphy was still a little worried about his daughter, turning on the TV and not knowing what he was watching. And Yang Yi got into the kitchen, mysteriously not knowing what to do.
Of course, at this time, how could Murphy still have the heart to think about what Yang Yi was doing? He said that he would make a special lunch for Murphy, but Murphy didn't think much about it.
Yang Yi was very carefully prepared, after he came up with this idea before, he had planned for a long time, and secretly tried to ensure that nothing went wrong, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly, and he could finally take it out!
(PS: The following is the teaching link, I originally wanted to skip it directly, but considering that many male book friends may be able to use it, I will introduce it to you.) )
Everything starts with chopping meat, just like making dumplings, chopping rotten meat, pouring in carrot cubes, and then an appropriate amount of five-spice powder, salt, fresh ginger, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, stirring in the same direction, and dripping soy sauce little by little, so as to live out a pot of dumpling filling.
Yang Yi didn't plan to add cabbage or shiitake mushrooms, because he didn't really want to make dumplings, and mixing them like this would affect the effect at that time.
But the cabbage Yang Yi still took it out, cut off the leaves, leaving the stalks, as well as carrots and cucumbers, the latter two of which were cut into slender slices as thin as cicada wings with an oblique knife.
Light the fire, get out of the pot, boil the water, wait for the water to boil, put in the cabbage stalks, carrot slices, cucumber slices, carrot slices and cucumber slices blanch for about 30 seconds, then remove the water, boil the cabbage stalks for two minutes, make sure that the cooking is soft, and also remove the water.
Next, the knife work will be tested, Yang Yi's technology can only use a cabbage stalk to make two thin skins up and down with an oblique blade, and the middle one can't be used. This thin vegetable skin looks crystal clear, and it is more textured than rice paper!
Or rather, more like flower petals!
That's right, next, Yang Yi will knead the meat filling into small strips, and then wrap it with the vegetable skin from the cabbage stalks, the head should be opened wide, and the tail should be slightly cinched.
I couldn't see anything, but when Yang Yi wrapped the cabbage skin and the "lily" made of the meat filling along the edge of the big white plate, the prototype had already appeared.
Next, the blanched carrot slices and cucumber slices wrap the meat in the same way.
"Green roses" circled the second circle, and then filled the middle with "pink roses"! Yang Yi also sprinkled a little yellow pepper in the middle to decorate.
Of course, this is not the last process, but also the steamer to steam the minced meat!
It takes about fifteen minutes, and after steaming, you can basically start eating, but Yang Yi is a person who strives for excellence!
He also poured out the soup in the steamer, poured it into the wok, lit a fire to boil, and then poured in water starch, this process is called thickening! After the soup boiled again, he turned off the heat and poured the soup evenly on the "flowers".
Suddenly, the colorful "flowers" seem to come to life, and the crystal dew is so lovely!
……
"I'm going to have lunch!" Yang Yi pulled Murphy to the table, and both of them sat on the side.
Murphy also came to her senses, she looked at the table, a dish covered with a spherical lid I don't know what it was, and then a clean plate in front of each of them, and a bowl of mixed sauce.
It's just too ...... It's easy!
Murphy has eaten so many meals at Yang Yi's house, but he has never seen such a simple one, even if there is no staple food, there is only one plate.
However, Murphy didn't mind, she was curious about what was under the big hemispherical lid, after all, Yang Yi had said that he had prepared it carefully.
"Hmm, did you make a steak? No, why didn't I smell the steak?" asked Murphy curiously.
It's really like eating steak! It's a very Western-style meal, and when you eat it, you need these sauces, which can be poured on top of the steak, and of course, some people like to dip it.
However, it was not quite like it, Murphy saw chopsticks next to the plate, not knives and forks.
"Not steak. Yang Yi gentlemanly pulled out a chair, served Murphy to sit down, and then poured Murphy freshly squeezed orange juice in a goblet - yes, it seemed a bit of a waste of glass, but Murphy hadn't wanted to touch wine since that incident!
"Thank you!" Murphy saw Yang Yi so serious, she was amused in her heart, and she also became elegant.
Yang Yi leaned over slightly, pressed his right hand on the spherical dish lid, and said gently: "Murphy, today's dish, I studied it specifically for you, I hope you can like it." ”
After speaking, Yang Yi lifted the lid.
There was no dazzling light, but there were bright colors, and a "handful" of flowers suddenly appeared in front of Murphy's eyes.
Murphy was stunned for a moment, she didn't see it clearly at first sight, and thought it was really a bouquet of flowers, and at the same time she was psychologically moved, she also wondered: "Do you want to eat flowers at noon?"
But after all, she was not short-sighted, and Murphy quickly recognized that these were just fake flowers, and even the stamens were a mass of meat filling!
"Poof!" Murphy was moved and amused, she gently hammered Yang Yi's arm with her hand, and said, "You, why did you come up with such a trick again?
"Uh......" Yang Yi scratched his head, he really hadn't thought about the name of this dish, it was the meaning of chicken wings, but this "flower", does it still need the meaning?
Murphy looked at Yang Yi's embarrassed appearance, and she couldn't help but laugh again: "Okay, okay, don't think about it." I don't need the name, I like it too, thank you for the flowers you have prepared!"
Yang Yi had been pretending to be a gentleman very seriously just now, and now he was also smiling, Murphy's liking was the biggest encouragement for him!
"But how do you eat this?" asked Murphy.
"It's like eating dumplings. Yang Yi reached out and took Murphy's chopsticks, picked up a "pink rose" wrapped in a carrot slice in the middle, dipped it in soy sauce, and handed it to Murphy.
"Oops, don't spoil it. Murphy exclaimed anxiously, "I haven't taken pictures yet!"
