Chapter 905: The exquisite crab roe soup dumplings
One drawer, that is, a cage, and three drawers are also three cages of crab roe soup dumplings. Normally, this method of making is extremely cumbersome, and the relatively expensive buns do not have a large number of buns per cage.
Depending on the way each store operates, the size of the crab roe soup dumplings will vary, but most of them will not exceed 8, and the size is just a matter of one mouth for an adult man.
To be honest, the number of three cage crab roe soup dumplings is really not much for three big men, and it is impossible to eat enough, so the waiter just now glanced at Jin Yang so strangely.
Three big men eat three soup dumplings, isn't it a joke?
However, Jin Yang's idea is of course not so simple, according to his original idea, he is going to eat the entire snack street, so no matter how delicious this crab roe soup dumpling is, he will eat one cage at most.
He has to save his stomach to eat other delicacies! Such a big snack street, it can't be just such a crab roe soup dumpling, right?
Crab roe soup dumplings, in fact, this is a traditional snack originating from Jiangsu, the production of crab roe soup dumplings is very particular, the filling is crab roe and crab meat, the soup is the original chicken soup, and the production process is even more exquisite.
Just the main ingredients include live hairy crabs, live hens, pork rinds, high-gluten flour, etc. Then it is necessary to boil crab oil over low heat, boil skin jelly in chicken soup, and form high-gluten flour to make a crystal clear, blown-blown and resilient crab roe soup bag.
According to the record of "Liuhe County Chronicle", "the dragon robe crab roe soup bun has a good reputation at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and is known for its thin skin, tender filling, fresh taste, and not greasy, and has strict requirements in the process of making crab oil, skin soup, making stuffing, rolling skin, pinching buns, steaming, etc., which looks like autumn chrysanthemum and is fresh but not greasy. ”
There are also many things that need to be paid attention to in the production process of this exquisite food with exquisite craftsmanship.
The most afraid of breaking the skin and leaking the soup is to make crab roe soup dumplings, so the flour must be made with high gluten flour. When mixing the dough, add a small amount of Chencun water and salt, and make it for 20 minutes, which can effectively increase the gluten of the flour. When mixing the dough, add water while stirring, so that the water and the dough are in full contact to increase the toughness of the dough.
When making dough, be sure to make the dough slightly thicker in the middle and thin at the edges. In this way, you can avoid the steamed buns from "falling off the bottom" when they are plated, and secondly, you can avoid eating the dough until the end of the dough is soaked through and there is no bite.
Moreover, the filling should not be wrapped too much or too little. If there is too much filling, it is easy to break; There is too little stuffing to reach the "soup is like a spring". Secondly, each soup bag should have more than 30 wrinkles, and it should be delicate and uniform. The head of the sealing agent is small, the mouth is tight, and there can be no cracks, so that the steamed buns will not be retracted due to the dough during steaming, and the buns will leak soup when they are opened.
When steaming crab roe soup dumplings, the steam should not be too strong, otherwise it will break through the dough and cause the soup to leak, so it is best to use an old-fashioned steamer. If a steamer is used, the steam volume needs to be kept to a medium level at all times.
Before packing the crab roe soup, the plate should be scalded with boiling water and drained repeatedly, so that it not only has the effect of heat preservation, but also prevents the dough from sticking together with the plate and cannot be clamped.
Speaking of which, it is evident how cumbersome it is to make.
Its flavor characteristics are known for its exquisite materials, unique formula, excellent production, and difficult to imitate, and there are as many as 33 production processes alone, which can be said to have reached the peak of early snacks.
Crab roe soup dumplings have enjoyed a good reputation in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its characteristics are that the skin is as thin as paper, and it is broken when it is blown out, and the production is "absolute", the form is "beautiful", and the way to eat is "strange".
The most famous ones are Jinling Longpao Crab Roe Soup Bun, Jingjiang Crab Roe Soup Bun, Taixing Quxia Crab Roe Soup Bun, Zhenjiang Yanchun Crab Roe Soup Bun, and Huai'an Wenlou Crab Roe Soup Bun. Moreover, Jinling holds the Dragon Roe Crab Roe Soup Dumpling Food and Culture Festival all year round.
Of course, there will be no inexplicable Shanghai Shen Ji crab roe soup dumplings here.
After years of inheritance and development, there have been some changes in today's crab roe soup dumplings and the original. Of course, the changes mentioned here are not fundamental changes in the production process.
Because the dough of the crab roe soup dumplings has not changed much, many chefs have put a lot of effort into the filling and made many new fillings. The ratio of crab roe soup filling is not fixed, there are 4 kinds of ratio of crab roe and skin jelly: 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 are all OK, 1:4 has the best effect, and the cost is easy to control.
In addition to adding crab roe and skin jelly, some hotels also add a little meat puree to reduce the amount of crab roe to make skin jelly soup dumplings. Or add diced shrimp shoots and so on to adjust the taste.
There is also a new popular puffer crab roe soup dumpling that is made from fugu meat that is pureed, seasoned, and added to the filling, and it is said to be delicious.
I just don't know why those who dare to eat are so afraid of death, don't they know that eating puffer fish is risky?
Of course, this Shen Ji crab roe soup dumpling also has several different flavors, but Jinyang ordered the original crab roe soup dumpling. Since I came to eat crab roe soup dumplings, of course, I wanted the most authentic "crab roe and crab meat".
After waiting for about ten minutes, the sound of "kicking and kicking" came, and the waiter from before came again, the difference from last time was that she did not come empty-handed this time, and she brought three cages of "crab roe soup dumplings" as "gifts" at the same time.
"I'm sorry to keep the guests waiting, there are more guests today...... This is a crab roe soup dumpling for three people, please use it slowly. The waiter put the three steamed buns on the table with a little apology, quickly distributed one to each person, and then turned around and took a few small plates and straws from the sterilization cabinet not far away, and distributed them to the three of them.
As the driver and guide sent by Citibank this time, the young driver was very eye-catching, looking at Jin Yang's movements and demeanor, he estimated that Mr. Jin, who came back from the United States, probably hadn't eaten much of this kind of soup dumpling.
So as soon as the soup dumplings were placed in front of him, he naturally introduced them while operating: "Just smelling this fragrance, you know that this soup dumpling is still very authentic." Mr. Jin, you guess it's hard to eat this kind of authentic Chinese food in the United States, right?"
"The breakfast over there is basically steak and milk, to be honest, I haven't eaten this crab roe soup dumpling for a long time, and I have almost forgotten how to eat it......," Jin Yang said with a smile.
Jin Yang had heard of crab roe soup dumplings, which were particular about what people eat, and even deliberately found a place to eat them once, but at that time, he was shy and tight about himself, and he didn't pay much attention to the crab roe soup dumplings he ate, and he couldn't talk about authentic ones, so he really didn't know much about these messy and exquisite ways to eat, but he roughly knew what it meant.
Strictly speaking, this is also the first time he has eaten authentic crab roe soup dumplings, so it is still necessary to listen to the driver and say that there is a specific way to eat, firstly, you can have a long knowledge and listen to fun, and secondly, you can avoid making a fool of yourself.
