Chapter 124: Beef Pista
After doing these things, Fu Yonghan asked Ji Xiulang to help remember the time, and began to make another noodle dish planned today.
It's not that she deliberately left the pot boiling on the stove alone, but the main thing is that the pot of soup has to boil for three hours before she can move on to the next step. For such a long three hours, of course, Fu Yonghan couldn't do nothing.
She wants to teach Shi Jie and the others to make pasta, the name is very ordinary, and the very simple one is called beef pie.
Beef pie is a local dish, and its name is somewhat similar to the famous Shandong pancakes and egg scones in the country. However, beef patties are obviously more laborious to make, and are not suitable for selling on street stalls.
Of course, if you improve it a little, simplify the process, and reduce the cost, it may not be impossible to make it into a roadside food.
Fu Yonghan cut the washed beef into thin slices, and then used the back of a knife to knock on both sides of the cut beef slices.
This knocking method can cut the tendons in the beef slices without destroying the integrity of the surface of the slices, making the slices softer and more flavorful.
With Fu Yonghan's knife skills and skills, in fact, she only needs to use the back of the knife to gently knock on the surface of the beef slice, and she doesn't need to knock it all the time. The main reason is that she is now "a teacher", and there are two students around her to teach, so the cooking process is naturally a lot more careful, and she has to explain while doing it.
Shi Jie and Zhu Liangtai knew that the opportunity was rare, and they studied very seriously, which made Fu Yonghan feel that their hard work was not in vain, and they taught more attentively.
When making a pot before, Fu Yonghan also deliberately slowed down his cooking speed, and he would say a few more words about the place where he should be explained. It's just a matter of knife work, which can really only rely on the chef's own diligence and hard work, and it is impossible to become a talent in one day.
Once the beef slices are cut, it's time to marinate.
The pickling process is not complicated, mainly adding salt, pepper powder, pepper, and then minced green onions, ginger and garlic and a small spoon of rapeseed oil fried in an oil pan, with suitable soy sauce and sugar, and finally add a little bean flour, stir it evenly and then put it aside for the time being.
It takes about half an hour before the beef slices are marinated with various condiments. It also has to take such a long time for the flavor of these condiments to penetrate into the beef slices.
Taking advantage of this half an hour of spare time, Fu Yonghan happened to do something else.
Don't really say it, don't look at Jiuding Xiang has not officially opened, but Gan Yingtong is full of energy to put Jiuding Xiang in order, and such an important place as the kitchen will naturally not be despised lightly. There is still a period of time after leaving the industry, and the warehouse of Jiuding Xiang's back kitchen has been prepared with what it should be, except for some fresh and precious ingredients, there is nothing else missing.
Fu Yonghan found the dried lotus leaves he needed in the warehouse very smoothly.
She slowly soaked the dried lotus leaves in the water.
These dried lotus leaves must be soaked soft before they can be used.
It's already winter, so if it's spring or summer, you can try using fresh lotus leaves. The taste is more fragrant, and there is no need to soak so troublesomely.
In addition to soaking lotus leaves, you also need to use fennel star anise and other things to stir-fry a portion of five-spice rice noodles.
By the time she had prepared the stuff, the beef fillet was almost marinated.
Stir the fried five-spice rice noodles into the marinated beef slices and stir well, and then wrap the beef slices tightly with the dried lotus leaves soaked softly. With the fragrance of dried lotus leaves, the flavor of the beef slices can be preserved as much as possible.
The wrapped beef can be directly steamed in the basket.
Since this pasta dish is a beef pie, it is natural that in addition to beef, a patty is needed.
The method of dough is very simple, just use white flour to cook. If there is an earthen oven, it is even better, and the dough baked on the earthen stove will be more fragrant and crispy, and it will be more tough and chewy. However, it is obviously impossible to have an earthen stove in the back kitchen of the restaurant, and Fu Yonghan can only use a pot to make cakes.
Since there is no clay stove, if you want to make a different pastry, you mostly rely on the skill of kneading.
Fu Yonghan's kneading technique is a must, but if this thing wants to teach Shi Jie and the others, it is simply more difficult than knife work and mastering the heat!
Even so, Fu Yonghan still pointed out a few words to the two.
Shi Jie and Zhu Liangtai learned so much that they burst into tears.
Every time they see Fu Yonghan cooking and think that the process is not difficult, there are always one or two key places in it that will make them difficult to die!
And these key points are not something that can be learned in a while, you have to spend a lot of time practicing and accumulate a lot of experience!
If they had used to do so, they would have been able to make excuses and say that they wouldn't be able to learn for the time being because they weren't old enough...... But there is an even younger Fu Yonghan in front of them, but this girl who is younger than them has such a single-handed cooking skill, how can they really feel embarrassed? !
Forget it, let's not say anything, let's study honestly.
Just this kneading kung fu, Shi Jie and Zhu Liangtai learned bitterly.
After teaching the trick, Fu Yonghan began to make cakes. This time the pancake was different from before, she specially cut a hole in the edge of the dough to make the middle of the dough empty, forming an empty cake, which can be filled with anything as you like as a filling.
Many people know how to make this kind of dough, and it is also very common in roadside stalls. However, people who are not specialized in this hand really can't make such cakes.
After the dough cake was ready, Fu Yonghan didn't rush to stuff the beef into it, but directly took a piece, divided it into two halves and handed it to Shi Jie and Zhu Liangtai: "You two taste it, and see how this dough cake is different from what you made yourself." ”
Shi Jie and Zhu Liangtai did not hesitate, took the dough and ate it.
After a bite of bread, the two immediately noticed the extraordinary.
The dough is very crispy, and when you bite into it, you will immediately have a mouthful of fresh flavor. Warm dough is crispier, and a little cooler is more chewy. Chew the dough slowly, and you can clearly feel the sweetness in it.
Such an ordinary dough cake seems to be disgusted by people wherever it is placed. But the dough cake made by Fu Yonghan, even if nothing is added to it, just such a cake can make people eat several in one go, and they won't feel choked!
Shi Jie and Zhu Liangtai unceremoniously ate the bread in their hands!
Ji Xiulang looked at it with envy and wanted to come forward to ask for a cake to taste, but he couldn't pull it down in front of Shi Jie and the others, so he had to watch it anxiously. (To be continued.) )
