Chapter 25: Breakfast in the North
In China, compared to the south, people prefer to be finely crafted, while northerners mostly prefer fat and coarse ingredients.
This is related not only to the cultural differences between the north and the south, but also to the geographical environment.
The traditional division between the north and the south is based on the line of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, with the north as the north and the south as the south.
The northern cuisine, although not as varied as the southern cuisine, is limited by the weather and season, and also has its own unique eating habits.
This kind of eating habit is embodied in one point.
That's leftovers.
The humid and cold weather in the south is very unfavorable for food preservation, so most southerners like to "do what they can", or simply prefer to cook less.
As for the north, because winter occupies a large proportion of the four seasons of the year, food can be stored for a long time, and if you have to cook every meal, then it is inevitably a little unrealistic for ordinary people.
So families in most parts of the north like leftovers.
Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone likes to eat leftovers, but most of the time, when it comes to making food, northerners like to cook more.
Like dinner, like lunch.
Generally speaking, if you make a new dish once a day at noon, then there will be more of it, on the one hand, for the evening and on the other hand, for tomorrow's breakfast.
Here is a correction of common sense, for northerners, in the traditional sense of the northerners, breakfast is not soy milk, fritters, milk, bread, because in the north, such food, unless it is the kind of small couple who live upstairs, or the kind of single Wang.
Generally speaking, most of the breakfast in the most ordinary bungalow is made the night before or at noon, and after a simple stir-fry and frying, a bowl of hot soy milk or a glass of milk is added at most.
Of course, because in the early days, I didn't like to eat greasy food when I got up, so most of the food was just heated in the pot and then served out.
As for what to say about recooking......
Hehe.
Therefore, many people see that in the TV series, most of the early male protagonists or families eat milk, bread and other things, which can only be said to be in line with the customs of southerners, but these two things are really rare on the breakfast table of northerners.
So do any northerners go to eat those soy milk fritters for breakfast?
There are, but this kind of family, generally speaking, the family conditions are good, or there are elderly people in the family, they can't chew food, and they can only eat some liquid products, so they will make such a choice.
And most ordinary people, at most, is an extra glass of milk or soy milk.
Of course, what it is depends on the specific family conditions of the family.
As for Fang Siyi, he doesn't care about anything like money, but compared to those fritters that are easy to cause cancer, Fang Siyi prefers home-made food.
So he just bought back the soymilk machine and used the soy milk he made.
As for the fritters......
Not really, because he has food that tastes better than churros.
Pan-fried ravioli.
Dig out a piece of the lard that was cooled yesterday and squeeze out the pork, put it in a pan, cut the lard into small pieces with a spoon, and melt it as soon as possible, and when the oil just starts to smoke, take out more than 20 wontons that have been put in the refrigerator yesterday and put them into the oil pot, while the oil temperature is getting higher and higher, while flipping the wontons back and forth until they are golden all over the body, exuding an attractive fragrance, then they will take out the fried wontons in the eyes of the steamed bun children's shoes that have already smelled the fragrance and their eyes can't help but shine, and put them on the plate that has been prepared on the side。
"Yahu-" shouted happily, Zhao Wuying took the plate and ran out happily.
"Be careful!" Fang Siyi reminded, and then heard the sound of steamed buns and children's shoes in the restaurant.
It was burned.
This girl is really a child.
I smiled in my heart, but the movements in my hands did not stop.
Because it was breakfast, and he was worried that it would be too greasy, Fang Siyi decided to get two slices of baked steamed bread.
Pouring the remaining lard into a bowl, a shallow smile appeared on Fang Siyi's face.
Don't look at this thin layer of cooked oil, it seems to be a bit redundant, but it is the key to whether it is delicious or not!
Re-brushing the pot, although it is a bit wasteful, but it is better than useless.
Because it's a roasted steamed bun slice, what you have to do now is to process the full head.
In fact, if there was an oven, it should be better, but it is unlikely that ordinary people will have that kind of thing, so Fang Siyi did not bother.
After changing the steamed bread bought yesterday, cut it into 1.5 centimeter thick slices, and then Fang Siyi began to heat the pan.
Before that, of course, now at the bottom of the pan, pour a thin layer of boiling water.
The reason is that I am worried about burning the pan.
When the temperature of the pan has gradually evaporated the boiling water, Fang Siyi puts the steamed bread slices in the pan and then turns off the heat.
Unlike fried steamed bread slices, which need to be grilled over medium heat at all times, baking steamed bread slices is undoubtedly more troublesome.
Because it needs to be baked side by side, it takes a little longer.
However, the taste after roasting is incomparable to the fried steamed bread slices.
After all, the latter is too oily, and it is easy to lose the taste of the steamed bread itself, and generally speaking, eating one or two fried steamed bread slices will be a little greasy.
But the roasted steamed bread slices are different.
With the latter's incomparable crispness and taste, a bite down, the crisp skin is accompanied by the soft and fragrant inner fragrance, and the aftertaste is also a little sweet from the steamed bun, which is naturally not comparable to the latter.
In fact, if it is in a bungalow, there is no need to be so troublesome, directly use the stove that most of the northern bungalows will have, and then use a barbed wire to put the steamed bread slices on the stove, in winter, with the crackling sound in the stove, the sweet and rich fragrance of the baked steamed bread slices will fill the whole room, that kind of aroma, how can it be compared with the food operated by modern technology machinery?
Straight to the point.
Because baking steamed bun slices is more time-consuming, when Fang Siyi came out, a plate of fried wontons had already been counted into the small belly of Baozi children's shoes.
Looking at the bun children's shoes that were only humming on the chair, Fang Siyi wanted to laugh a little.
"Why can't you eat it?" Fang Siyi asked with a smile after placing the roasted steamed bun slices on the table.
"How is that possible?" Bao Zi picked up a piece of chopsticks.
I gently blew the roasted steamed bun slices that exuded a rich fragrance, and ate them happily.
