Chapter 721: Distillation
In the soup pot, there is no cave!
In Nagi Sect's field of vision, in addition to the boiling water, in the mist, there was actually a small pot, up and down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"When did you stuff this little pot?"
Wow.
couldn't help but turn around and return to the position of the tea table in the outer room, Nagi Cutting Zongwei At this time, he changed his sitting to standing, so that he could have an overview of the situation in the entire inner room, before sitting and chatting, there were dead spots in his vision, and he broke his head and thought about it carefully, but he only captured the picture of Xia Yu carrying the pot on the stove.
So, in the soup pot, there is another pot, which is simply magic.
At first, Nagi was frightened, and then from the outer room to the inner room, standing in front of the boiler with a heat wave, his heartbeat gradually calmed down.
After all, he is a well-known molecular gastronomy, and he has finally calmed down.
"Does this pot have anything to do with the heat?"
Nagi asked Seoi complicatedly.
"You researchers, like to talk about heat with scientific logic, and you just said what you think is heat, so what I want to ask now is, can heat directly act on ingredients?"
Senzaemon asked slowly.
"Of course not!"
Answering without thinking, Nagi Sho said: "There is a medium for the heat, and in short, it means that oil and water are needed to heat food and cook food. Oil, which refers to frying, is also a cooking method that also requires the help of oil. Water is much gentler than oil, so the taste of boiled, blanched, and stewed food has nothing to do with crispiness, but more is soft and smooth. β
Hearing this, Senzaemon remained silent and pointed to the boiling soup pot: "Then what is the fire in this pot that acts on the ingredients?"
"Huh?"
Losing the fluency of his breath just now, Nagi cut Zongwei paused, and continued to look at the small pot in the soup pot.
"I guess it's stewed in water. β
Very uncertain.
"Wrong!"
"Not stew?" said Nagi Sowei puzzled.
"It's steam!
"Steaming?"
His eyes widened, and Nagi Sowei looked carefully at the small clay pot in the soup pot, and saw that this pot, including the lid, was tightly sealed, with only small holes.
Moreover, this hole is still on the water, Xia Yu uses a spatula more than one meter long to support the casserole all the time, so that the pot will not sink into the water, be submerged by the water, and the water will flood the golden mountain.
Gas!
Suddenly, Nagi Sho Zongwei's pupils shrank, staring at the small exposed hole in the casserole, from which overflowing steam was penetrating one by one.
Although this change is very subtle, it has been clearly observed by cautious molecular food researchers.
"W-this soup, is it steamed?" he muttered in shock.
"Bring me a bucket of warm waterβ"
At this time, Xia Yu, who had been maintaining the balance of the casserole, did not raise his head, and just gave such a dull command.
Nagi Zong Wei was still frowning and thinking, but the old man turned around, went to the stove, turned off the valve, and easily lifted a large cooking pot with both hands, and the pot was full of hot water!
"Wow-"
Hot water is poured into the soup pot on the stovetop, and the water that has been rapidly decreasing is replenished.
So, Xia Yu continued his cooking rhythm, and he didn't have time to see who helped him carry and pour water.
Half-hour.
an hour.
"Well, this is the sixth bucket of water, right?"
During this period, Erina, Alice, and Nagi Soe watched as a stone statue of Natsu Yu motionless in front of the stove, while the 'Demon Eater' Senzaemon turned into a busy porter, carrying and pouring water back and forth.
Seeing that the sixth bucket of water was about to boil dry, Nagi Tsungai was sweating and asked the old father standing beside him in a low voice: "This 'steaming' is too time-consuming!"
Unexpectedly, Senzaemon said coolly: "It's only been an hour. In ordinary Chinese restaurants, if you want to get a casserole soup in this distillation way, you must be prepared to stay up all night. β
Want to stay up all night?
Seven or eight hours?
Nagi Zong Wei opened his mouth, and after a while, he keenly grasped a key word in the old father's words-
Distillation.
"Distillation?" Looking at the casserole with pores again, Nagi Wai's eyes lit up, and he vaguely understood the principle of such a cooking process.
After another quarter of an hour, when the water in the soup pot was completely boiled dry, the heavy gasping of the flames of the charcoal stove suddenly stopped.
"Okay?"
Erina and Alice both stood up.
Leonora beckoned to them and said funny, "Sit down, it's just soup, and the ramen hasn't been made." This is ramen!"
"Yes, and ramen!"
Nagi Zong Wei also raised his head, and happened to meet Xia Yu's stunned gaze.
"How long have you two been standing?" Xia Yu looked for a towel to sweat on his forehead, and put on heat-insulating gloves, jumped on the stove to move out the small clay pot in the soup pot, and placed it firmly on the kitchen counter.
"All the time. β
Nagi Sowei moved with him, full of curiosity about this clay pot, he would reach out and want to open the lid, but he was slapped off with a snap. Xia Yu glared at him speechlessly and said, "It looks good, don't move your hands and feet, now this is my kitchen!"
He pointed to his feet.
Obviously, Nagi Tsungai Zongwei was one of the owners of the house, but Xia Yu's tone was very tough.
Nagi Zong Wei also knew that he was abrupt, and he blamed his curiosity. He immediately withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and said apologetically: "I was curious for a while, but I couldn't hold back!"
"It's not going to be revealed now. β
Xia Yu said, go wash your hands, and prepare enough materials for making noodles.
"The Demon King's Recipe", the ramen ring, a strong Japanese style.
In terms of ingredients, there are three types of Japanese ramen: somen noodles, udon noodles, and soba noodles.
In terms of the shape of the surface, there is a division of fine noodles, medium fine noodles, medium noodles and too many noodles. Hakata ramen is known to be usually made with thinner noodles.
Xia Yu said that Japanese ramen is just a small branch of the Chinese pastry field, and the ancestors of noodle making and the materials used to make noodles originally came from the land of China, even if they ask the neon people in person, they must admit that the birthplace of ramen is in China.
Kneading and making noodles naturally made it difficult for Xia Yu.
Moreover, in the noodle ring, the ingredients are very ordinary, and there is no unknown fantasy ingredient.
"Mix buckwheat flour and wheat flour first. β
Calculate the amount, mix the dust, and then add water to knead.
In particular, Japanese ramen noodles are usually made with alkaline water to increase the elasticity of the noodles.
Another ten minutes.
Syllable!
Take out the black pastry stick, throw the dough from the cooking basin on the clean desk, and use the pastry stick as a rolling pin, roll it back and forth, and spread a large dough cake with thick and uniform thickness on the edge and center area of the outer ring.
Then, stack the dough on top of each other, layer upon layer.
The knife flashed.
The extra fabric in the corners was sliced, and then there was a dense sound of knives dropping!
"Knock knock!"
It took only about 30 seconds to plant, a total of six bunches of flat and wide buckwheat flour, light brown, placed on a metal tray and stained with a lot of white flour.
A bunch is the amount of a large bowl.
Soup and noodles, ready, and finally the toppings!
The ingredients of Japanese-style ramen are relatively cumbersome, but fortunately, "Demon King's Ramen" is somen noodles in terms of ingredients, there is no barbecued pork, green vegetables don't even need soup, they are cleaned, the green onions are shredded, and the bean sprouts have emerald green leaves, just stacked in the ramen bowl, which has a good decorative effect.
There is only one bowl of hot spring eggs, which is more laborious and requires boiling water to make.
"Ding!"
Soon, when he rang the serving bell on the kitchen counter, Xia Yu looked up at the digital alarm clock on the wall, grinned and said in a good mood: "There are still 5 minutes left, just two hours! The efficiency is about the same as expected!"
