Chapter 56: Fried Oil Cakes (I)
Yesterday, because of the Wujizi incident, the small restaurant ushered in a small peak in the evening, although many diners were a little sorry for not seeing the magical old man, but after eating the dishes of the small restaurant, they went back satisfied.
Early this morning, Qin Feng arrived at the store, he is now very interested every day, and today he plans to make a snack, which belongs to a local snack in Qingshui City, oil cake!
Oil cake is a snack suitable for all ages, in Qin Feng's memory, there will be some grandmothers selling oil cakes at the intersection when watching a play on the stage and catching up with the market in the town, this oil cake is not the same thing as the oil cake in the capital.
The oil cakes in the capital are made of flour, while the oil cakes in Qingshui City are made with rice flour.
Oil cakes can be said to be deeply loved by the people of Qingshui City, they taste fragrant, crispy, glutinous, salty and fresh, although the method is simple, but people who have no experience really can't do it, which is why some grandmothers are selling oil cakes every time.
There is one thing that is indispensable for making oil cakes, that is, oil cake spoons! If you look at the literal meaning, you will know that oil cake spoons are specially used to make oil cakes, and they are not usually used at all.
Because the oil cake spoon is different from other spoons, its spoon surface is flat, in the shape of a disc, with a long handle, which is why experience is required, because it is a flat spoon, it can't hold things at all, and without skilled experience, it will naturally not be able to make oil cakes.
The oil cake that Qin Feng planned to make was very simple, without too many fillings, just a tender radish, some shrimp skin and minced ginger. It's okay to make it more complicated, but Qin Feng still wants to recall the feeling when he was a child watching a play and catching up with the market, so he still uses the simplest ingredients.
After a period of practice, Qin Feng's streamer knife technique became more and more proficient, and it only took him three seconds to shred a radish!
After shredding the tender big radish, Qin Feng added some salt to the shredded radish, let the shredded radish come out with some water, squeeze out the excess juice by hand, add minced ginger and shrimp skin to the squeezed shredded radish, add a little salt and stir well, and the filling is ready.
Of course, Qin Feng, the most important oil cake spoon, did not forget, and asked Uncle Ma from the vegetable market to buy one yesterday and sent it over in the morning.
Pour enough oil into the pot, Qin Feng put the oil cake spoon in it, this is called a hot spoon, this is the most critical step in making oil cakes, without the hot spoon step, then don't think about making oil cakes.
Taking advantage of the time of hot oil, Qin Feng adjusted the rice noodles into a paste, which should not be too thin, otherwise it would not be able to wrap the filling, and it would not be able to form a clump.
As he became more and more comfortable cooking, Qin Feng's cooking posture became more and more elegant, as if he was creating a work of art, and those who knew how would definitely be surprised when he saw it, Qin Feng's body already had a kind of grandmaster's momentum and heritage.
After the oil in the pot boiled, Qin Feng took out the oil cake spoon, poured the rice cereal on the oil cake spoon while it was hot, heard the sound of the pan, and the spoon surface was branded with a pie crust, grabbed a handful of filling, put it on the oil cake spoon, pressed it slightly, poured a layer of rice paste on the filling again, and put it into the hot oil pot.......
"Huh...... Da ...... "The moment the oil cake spoon comes into contact with the hot oil, it boils, and the hot oil continues to fry the rice cereal until it solidifies and crisps, and after a while, with a slight shake of the oil cake spoon, an oil cake is formed, and it is separated from the oil cake spoon.
A strong burnt fragrance emanated, and smelling this fragrance, Qin Feng couldn't help it.
After frying the oil cake in the oil pan until golden brown, take out the drained oil, smell the smell of incense, Qin Feng didn't care about the hot smell, took a piece of oil blotting paper and wrapped it, and took a bite directly, crispy, hot, fragrant, and refreshing were Qin Feng's first feelings.
So I fried three more and ate them, burping beautifully, and feeling the smell of oil cakes coming out of my mouth.
"Hey, Boss Qin (Qin Feng) You're frying oil cakes!" Lin Hao and Li Zhiyue walked to the store at the same time, smelling this somewhat familiar fragrance, their eyes lit up.
"Brother Qin, can Yangyang eat oil cakes? It's so fragrant!" Yangyang let go of Li Zhiyue's hand and ran to the kitchen, looking at Qin Feng with some expectation and said.
"Yes, but you can't eat more! If you eat too much, it will get hot, let this one cool, eat it slowly!" Qin Feng smiled and wrapped a cooled oil cake in oil blotting paper and handed it to Yangyang.
"Thank you, Brother Qin! It's so fragrant......" Yang Yang couldn't help but take a bite, it was still a little hot inside, Yang Yang ate a little hot, but he still ate one in three or two clicks, and looked at Qin Feng with a blank eye.
Qin Feng was amused by Yangyang's cute appearance, took another one for him, and beckoned Lin Hao and Li Zhiyue outside to eat together, and a long queue had begun to form outside the door.
"Brother Lin, Sister Zhiyue! Today's oil cake is considered a welfare, not counting the emotional dishes, it was originally made for their own food, looking at their very interested, let's send one for each person! Just charge a dollar! Order food is just free!" Qin Feng looked at some diners who were attracted by the fragrance of oil cakes and said to Lin Hao and Li Zhiyue.
"Okay!" Li Zhiyue and Lin Hao nodded to indicate that they understood.
"Do you think Boss Qin is frying oil cakes? It smells like it, but it feels very fragrant!" said one of the diners.
"It's a bit like you say that, no, I'm dying of hunger, if only Boss Qin made some ordinary dishes, so I can let go of eating!" said a diner with a bitter melon face.
"yes, yes, who's to say it isn't!"
"Although the emotional dishes are delicious, you can't eat too much of them, if only there were ordinary ones. ”
"Shall we mention it to Boss Qin!"
"I think it can!"
"But...... Don't you think that's the case...... Will we still be in line in the future?" said a cute girl weakly.
"Forehead ......"
“#@$……”
"Forget it, I think that's good!"
"Don't mention it!" said one of the diners, covering his forehead.
"At least then we can eat it often, and if we open a regular meal, then I guess the small restaurant will be crowded, will we still squeeze in?" said one diner with a wise face.
"Anyway, shouldn't we care about what Boss Qin is doing?"
"Forehead ......"
“……”
"Good morning everyone! Today's special, oil cakes are one dollar! One person is limited to two, and the consumption in the store is free!" Li Zhiyue and Lin Hao moved out the oil cakes and placed them at the door, and said to the diners in line with a smile.
"Wowhaha, it's really an oil cake! I think I haven't eaten it for ten years! I used to be able to eat it when I sang opera in the village, but now I don't sell it anymore, Boss Qin is amazing!" said a diner with some excitement.
"Isn't this another benefit for Boss Qin!"
"Of course forget it, one dollar is no different from giving away, and the consumption is free!"
"Haha, it seems that I earned it today, and I guess it won't be there later, hurry up and send it to the circle of friends, tempt them to death, hehe......" A diner smiled a little obscenely, took out his mobile phone and took out a close-up, and sent it to the circle of friends, and the circle of friends exploded again in an instant......
