Chapter 233: Making Sweet Noodle Sauce
"Of course that's all there is, or what else do you think?" Jiang Dazhu was obviously reluctant to tell Song Li more about his experience outside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And Song Li may be because they haven't seen each other for several years, and they don't have the feeling of fighting together with each other back then. Jiang Dazhu was reluctant to say it, and Song Li naturally wouldn't force him.
"What honey did you just say?" Jiang Dazhu seemed to be very interested in what Song Li was going to do.
Song Li smiled, "I'm just tossing around, and you don't know." ”
Jiang Dazhu didn't have too many doubts about Song Li's words, after all, Song Li in the past also liked to toss around.
"How's the body of the uncle and aunt?"
"It's okay, go back quickly, Aunt Jiang will definitely be very happy if she knows that you are back." Song left the road.
The most important reason why Jiang Dazhu came back this time was that he wanted to come back to see the Jiang family, so he didn't greet Song Li much, but hurried back to see the Jiang family.
Song Li didn't find honey, so naturally he wouldn't stay.
"Honey is a good idea, but I'm afraid it's hard to find it at this time, but I don't know if there will be any other place."
Multigrain cakes without sauce are definitely not delicious, and in desperation, Song Li had to replace them with white sugar first.
"Ah Li, this sugar is expensive, you have to save a little." Chen watched Song Li pour several taels of white sugar into the basin at one time, how could he not feel distressed? It's all silver.
Of course, Song Li also knows that the gold of white sugar is expensive, but no matter how expensive it is, it needs to be used, no.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. These are of particular use. "In those days, sugar and salt were valuable things.
, the government has regulations, everyone can only buy two taels of silver every month, and there is no silver more, and this white sugar is the same. If you have more to use, you can only buy private things, but how can this private thing be as good as the official thing? Moreover, the price of private official salt and white sugar is three times more than that of the official family, and the things bought back are still not as good as the official family. That's why Chen is so distressed.
Song Li naturally didn't dare to waste such a precious thing.
According to the steps of memory, Song Li brought out the sweet noodle sauce, but with the sweet noodle sauce, he also needed chili sauce.
"Sister-in-law, how about you taste this sauce?" Song Li scooped a small spoonful of sweet noodle sauce that had just come out of the pot and handed it to Chen.
None of them had ever made this thing, so naturally they didn't know what it tasted like.
Chen smashed his mouth and pursed his lips.
"It's sweet."
Sweet? It shouldn't be, could it be that there is something wrong with her ratio?
Song Li simply tasted it himself, and the result was exactly what Chen said, it was really sweet.
Looking at Song Li's expression, Chen knew that Ah Li's sweet noodle sauce that he had just concocted was definitely not in line with Ah Li's ideals.
"It's actually quite delicious." In the end, the Chen family is still reluctant to spend so much white sugar.
Not to mention the Chen family, even Song Li himself is reluctant.
"It's okay, I'll see if it would be better to add a little bit in between." It's just that what should be added to the middle?
In a trance, Song Li seemed to remember that he once saw other people's sweet noodle sauce, and it seemed that he didn't add white sugar directly, which means that his own step was basically wrong?
No, this step is really wrong, but there doesn't seem to be any other problem with the taste of this one except that it's a little sweeter.
Just when Song Li was puzzled, one of Chen's actions gave Song Li inspiration.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Song Li saw that Chen had packed up the small piece of dough that was left from before.
"This is yeast, wait until the next time we make steamed buns or steamed buns, take it out and put it in the noodles, so that the noodles will be fluffier and taste better." Chan said.
Yeast? Ferment. yes, I didn't think of it.
Song Li hammered his head.
Chen was frightened by Song Li's sudden movements.
"Ah Li, what are you doing here? It's good how to fight yourself. ”
"Sister-in-law, I want to understand why the sweet noodle sauce I made is wrong." Song left the road.
Chen was stunned by Song Li's shake, but he was also very happy to hear Song Li say that he had figured it out.
"Really? Let's talk about it. ”
There is no problem with the sweet noodle sauce that Song Li is doing now, but the shelf life is relatively short, and it can easily spoil.
This is definitely not the case with the real sweet noodle sauce, but because I want to choose koji.
The main ingredient for making this koji is flour, which is why Song Li suddenly thought of it when he saw Chen preparing to put away the dough.
The first thing to do is to add water and dough to the yeast and flour together, and then take two-thirds of it and ferment it at a temperature between 28 and 30 degrees, add the remaining one-third of the flour after the dough is fermented, and make a second dough mix, after two or three hours, cut the dough into small pieces and put it in a steamer basket to steam. Then take it out and let it cool, tear it into pieces, and put it on a curved bed; And sow Aspergillus oryzae evenly, so that you can make the dough.
Once the koji is made, it's time to start making the sweet noodle sauce.
Of course, there is also a certain proportion of making sweet noodle sauce.
The ratio of sweet noodle sauce: 10 kg of koji, 10 kg of salt water. Put the steamed bread koji into the fermentation tank, shovel and compact; Then let it naturally warm up to 40 to 50 degrees, and then add 55 to 70 degrees of hot salt water. The amount of brine is about half of the flour and mix well. The surface layer is covered with reconstituted salt and fermented, and the temperature is maintained at 53 to 55 degrees Celsius during the fermentation period, and the time is about 7 days. If the product temperature is too low, the product temperature can be adjusted by sandwich steam heating. When the fermented sauce is ripe, add the remaining half of the brine. Then through the compressed air to stir and make it uniform, that is, the finished product.
It's just that there are no containers here that can maintain a uniform temperature of 53 to 55 degrees Celsius all the time. So Song Li decided to use the kang at home to achieve this effect.
Chen has already been stunned by what Song Li said, how can it be so troublesome to get a sweet noodle sauce, isn't it quite simple to watch Ah Li just now? How did it suddenly become so complicated?
"Ah Li, does this sweet noodle sauce really have to be like this?" Chan asked.
Song Li nodded, "Of course, not to mention that if sister-in-law's sweet noodle sauce is made, we won't just buy multigrain cakes, we can also make roast duck or something when the time comes, do you know Peking duck?" That's good stuff. Just then said a word about Peking duck, and Song Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva. However, Song Li also knew that according to the current conditions, this Peking duck would definitely not be able to be made, but it didn't matter, one day she would definitely be able to eat Peking duck.
