Chapter 7 Dim Sum Contest (2)
The ice cream method is not difficult, stir well with egg yolk and sugar, and then add milk to heat, the milk is freshly squeezed, it looks thicker, taste it and find that it is not bad, mellow and fragrant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because there are only five judges, Meng Meng also makes five servings, so it freezes quickly.
When the ice cream is formed, you can just prepare the second and third dim sum, and the beef puree and shrimp puree Haiyan Yuan are also prepared, which can be used directly, you only need to break the indica rice to make rice milk, and steam it with the meat puree. Next, how to scrape and fold the rice rolls from the cooking cotton cloth, wrap the meat puree into a roll, Meng Meng explained it to the cook, and let him take charge of the rest of the process.
And she began to steam matcha cakes, because the key to the third snack is cost control, so Meng Meng did not plan to make fancy decorations, people in this era do not like to drink tea powder, but Jun Hanshuang is an exception, there are several cans of matcha powder that have not been opened, so she took it and used it.
Meng Meng is taking advantage of the time difference to make three dim sums at the same time, and the cooks in the two stone pavilions next to him are making dim sum in an orderly manner, because they are far away, and they can't see what dim sum they are doing very clearly, but looking at the calm appearance, they should also be old guys who have experienced a lot of battles.
Fortunately, she has an advantage in time, the soy sauce of the cheong fun has to be made separately, put mushroom water, oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sugar to boil together, and then cook two cabbage sums, put them on both sides of the cheong noodle to decorate, and wait for the second dim sum all the processes to be completed, just the ice cream is also frozen, let the chef go to get the process, brand a few pieces of crackers, roll into a cone, put the spherical ice cream on it, sprinkle a few chopped almonds, hazelnuts and it is done.
"This is what the Ye girl from Caiyue Building did? Interesting! Interesting! The oldest man in the green robe looked at the crispy ice cream on the vessel in amazement, and couldn't help but praise.
The ice cream container is similar to the Japanese-style hand-rolled tray, but the shape is more elegant. Sitting on the far right is Cai Xun, the chef of the most famous Ding Shilou in Beijing, he has eaten all over the country, and has never seen such dim sum and utensils, surprised, he quickly pinched the cracker with two fingers, tasted the ice cream on the top, his eyes lit up, and praised: "Cool and heartwarming, the sweetness is also moderate, and the taste of the cracker is good, crispy, Jun Gongzi really has a unique vision, and actually found such a chef." ”
"It's over...... win" Jun Han nodded with a shallow smile, turned around slightly, looked at Yun Mu who was not moving, and said, "You don't want to taste it?" You know, there will be no chance after the game~" He deliberately dragged out the tail tune, Yun Mu glared at him, and silently picked up the silver spoon and scooped it up.
After everyone had eaten, the chefs of other restaurants successively presented the first dim sum.
Overall, they are all decent dim sum, and only one "Crystal Mint Cake" and "Ice and Snow Cold Yuanzi" are barely passable. The mint is cool, coupled with the transparent texture, before you eat it, you feel half of the heat dissipated, although the method is more traditional, but there are a few upright mint leaves floating in the glass-like crystal cake, which is very beautiful.
And the "ice and snow cold yuanzi" is also exquisitely done, the soybeans are shelled and fried, then mixed with sugar or honey, added water balls into balls, and finally soaked in well water, the entrance is cool and crispy, sweet with the salty taste of sea salt, this folk snack is also exquisitely done, but there is Meng Meng's crispy ice cream pearl in front, and the rest is really not enough for the judges to see.
"What do you think? In the first game, she didn't let you down......" Jun Hanshuang asked the servant to remove the remaining uneaten snacks, watching Yun Mu's silent action of putting down the silver spoon, he smiled weirdly, turned around and asked the old man in the green robe sitting on the other side: "Blue City Lord, who do you think is the first in the first game?" ”
"Miss Ye of Caiyue Building, well-deserved!" The Blue City Lord smiled heartily and replied.
"What do you think?" Jun Hanshuang was not partial, and asked Cai Xun and Yehua's famous gourmand Tang Wenxian, and the two of them also agreed with the Blue City Lord's answer, the crispy ice cream was only the size of a plum, but it was better than ice cubes to relieve heat and fever, and the method and eating method were also unheard of, so naturally they voted in favor of Meng Meng taking the first place.
The chef at the bottom couldn't see the expressions of the judges at the observation deck, but soon after the results of the first round of evaluation, the crystal mint cake that he thought was the first place actually lost to the crispy ice cream. Everyone was also stunned in surprise, and they all turned their eyes to the stone pavilion where Meng Meng was.
Meng Meng smiled playfully, nodded hello to everyone, and then instructed the kitchen to distribute the remaining ice cream to the chefs.
"Girl, everyone is curious about your snacks! The chef of the 'Fu Lai Lou' pulled me hard to ask for the secret recipe, but luckily I was clever enough to slip away while he was not looking. As soon as the chef came back, he couldn't wait to describe the dim sum just now, the chef of "Fulai Lou" was the one who made the "Ice and Snow Leng Yuanzi", originally Meng Meng still had respect for him, but when he heard the chef say this, he knew that the man was small-minded and domineering, and he couldn't become the climate.
"What about the 'Ruixue Building'?" Meng Meng pointed to the stone pavilion on the very edge, where the "crystal mint cake" was served, and the chef over there was also a wonderful person, who came to Haiyan Building to make snacks, and specially hung a banner, with the words "Ruixue Building" in big words, even if it was far away, it could be seen clearly.
"Oh, the girl said 'Rui Xue Lou', I remember that his chef is very young, he looks only three or four years older than the girl, he is very polite, he has to be polite and reciprocal in everything, and asked me to give the girl a box of crystal mint cakes, and said that he is looking forward to the girl's next competition!" The assistant chef said in a hurry, took out a delicate small lacquer box, opened it, and sure enough, it was three crystal mint cakes.
Meng Meng nodded, asked the cook to put it aside, handed him the prepared mandarin duck rice noodles, and presented it.
"Huh? What kind of snack is this? Tang Wenxian smelled the taste of soy sauce, only felt that it was a little more umami than usual, and saw that the thin and transparent rice milk skin was pink, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Miss Ye said that this is mandarin duck rice noodles, and the bread in it is beef and shrimp." The servant bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"Mandarin duck rice rolls? I have only heard of stem rice noodles, glutinous rice noodles, pine flower powder, and mulberry hemp powder, and this is the first time I have heard of mandarin duck rice noodles. Cai Xun was also very curious, and picked it up with silver chopsticks and took a bite.
At this time, other restaurants also present dim sum, and the dim sum made by "Laifu Lou" is cypress leaf cake, which is mashed with tender cypress leaves to squeeze juice and noodles, steamed and fried in sesame oil, mixed with sugar and eaten. Those green cakes were placed in a white porcelain plate, and a blooming crape myrtle flower was placed next to it, which was very beautiful.
It's just that...... Cai Xun and Tang Wenxian both put down their chopsticks after tasting it, this cypress leaf cake looks novel and tastes special, but in fact, it is also replacing ordinary sesame seeds and almonds with cypress leaves, this kind of practice of filling new wine in old bottles is really not innovative.
It's the fried mint dumplings in "Ruixue Building", which looks pretty good.
