The honest Li Ximu doesn't feel too aggressive, so he and Ken Jason? Andrew's duel process was not as exciting as expected, perhaps after Abigail, many of the masters who were originally considered the best among their peers also looked a little mediocre at this moment. But despite this, Li Ximu, as one of the top ten players, still can't be careless.

Soda biscuits, with a simple appearance, are most often used by weight losers as a hunger snack to replace afternoon tea, but soda biscuits are not because of the simple taste, they are lower in calories than other biscuits, in fact, although soda biscuits do not have a lot of sugar compared to other biscuits, but it also has its own troubles.

Soda biscuits need to worry about is that it itself has a relatively high oil content, generally sold on the market, the oil content is 30% ~ 50%, the fat content also affects the calorie level of soda biscuits, so before buying soda, you may wish to look at the food label on the outer box, which generally contains the fat content. But no matter what kind of soda biscuits, commercially available biscuits are relatively high in oil and sugar, so it is not recommended to eat too much. But as a low-sugar biscuit, the most suitable for babies and the elderly is still fascinating.

Li Ximu makes sesame soda biscuits, kneading the puff pastry material and the water oil skin material into a dough respectively, then kneading the dough, covering it with plastic wrap, proofing and fermenting for about 30 minutes, and waiting for the volume of the water and oil skin to become slightly larger before the next round of processing.

Sesame, also known as fat and flax, has the scientific name of Sesamumindicum. It is the seed of flax. Annual erect herb. 60 to 150 cm high. It is found in tropical regions of the world as well as parts of temperate regions. Sesame is also one of the main oil crops in China, with high application value. Its seeds have an oil content of up to 55%. Since ancient times, China has been famous for its many various foods and delicacies made with sesame seeds and sesame oil.

Yilian said with some disappointment: "It's so ordinary, it's really disappointing." ”

Looking at the process of Li Ximu's cooking, Sikong Yao disagreed, and said with some surprise: "It's not as simple as it seems." ”

Iren blinked and asked, "Is there anything different?" ”

Sikong Yao watched intently at the process of Li Ximu's cooking, although there was no amazing technique. But what is frustrating is that no matter how you look at it, you can't understand what he did. Kneading, adding, blending milk, etc., must follow certain guidelines in the process of cooking, and add them in order of success, so as to form a perfect fusion.

On the other hand, although Li Ximu has also completed several processes of cooking, each step is repeatedly not closely linked, as if he is piling up building blocks. It's just a simple patchwork, and the ingredients don't blend together.

Sikong Yao said in confusion: "You look at the process of his cooking. Each step seems rigid, like a puzzle, but what I can't see through is that each ingredient fails to highlight its own characteristics, but it can get along with other ingredients in perfect harmony, a kind of cooking technique I once heard from a friend of mine. ”

Sikong Yao suddenly recalled the days in Fulongzhai, when she was still practicing the internal skills of Tai Chi Tuna, she once asked the old woman for advice: "Grandma, do you say that there is anything in the world that is independent and yin and yang, does not follow the cycle of the two instruments, is born without an image, and is self-contained?" ”

The old woman said with some disdain: "Why do you suddenly ask like this?" ”

Sikong Yao scratched her head mischievously and said, "No, it's just that I'm suddenly curious, I always adjust my breath by breathing, and occasionally I open a small stove and think about some miscellaneous things, and suddenly I think of these." ”

The old woman snorted, and then said: "Don't do your job, don't think about these things and nothing, study what you are learning now, other things, I will tell you when I have the opportunity in the future, but now is not the time." ”

Sikong Yao didn't dare to bump into the old woman, so she had to give up, but then she remembered something and asked, "Grandma, what do you mean is that such a thing does exist?" ”

The old woman reprimanded: "Concentrate on practice, concentrate and hold your breath!" ”

Seeing that the old woman was a little angry, Sikong Yao had no choice but to obediently shut her mouth and return to the cycle of black and white breath.

The old woman looked at Sikong Yao's eyelids jumping slightly, and knew that she still didn't listen to her words, so she sighed helplessly, and finally said: "When I was young, I did fight with someone like this, and his cooking techniques were extremely special, unpredictable, and traceless, beyond the cycle of yin and yang. ”

Sikong Yao suddenly opened his eyes and said curiously: "Is there really such a technique?" Transcending the Yin and Yang Cycle? ”

The old woman paused, and then said, "Impossible." Although that technique seems extremely mysterious, it is impossible for everything to be separated from the cycle of yin and yang, and the two instruments of Tai Chi are the foundation of the operation of heaven and earth. ”

Sikong Yao asked, "Then what's the matter with the kind of technique you are talking about?" ”

The old woman seemed to remember something, and said randomly unhappily: "Concentrate on practicing, now is not the time to tell you these things." ”

Sikong Yao closed his eyes angrily and fell into a meditative state of cultivation again.

Looking back at this time, it seems that the technique used by Li Ximu is somewhat similar to what the old woman said at the beginning, which not only makes Sikong Yao feel a little abrupt.

Seeing that Sikong Yao looked absent-minded, Yi Lian waved his hand in front of her and said, "Sikong Yao? What are you thinking? ”

Sikong Yao came back to his senses and said, "Ah...... It's nothing, I just feel that this Li Ximu doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems. ”

Ken Jason? Andrew also seems to see some abnormalities, although there are some surprises in the cooking methods of Westerners and Easterners, but there is not much difference in essence, but the cooking techniques shown by Li Ximu at this time have already made Ken Jason? Andrew was a little confused.

But everyone has their own cooking experience, and the techniques can't be exactly the same, Ken Jason? Andrew was embarrassed to ask too much, but asked, "It seems to be a very good dish, can you tell me what you make?" ”

Li Ximu rolled out the dough and responded: "Sesame mille-feuille soda biscuits." ”

Ken Jason? Andrew said with some curiosity: "Sesame mille-feuille soda biscuits, are they made like puff pastry muffins?" It's the first time I've seen soda crackers like this. ”

Li Ximu nodded and said, "It's roughly like this, but it's not that simple." ”

Ken Jason? Andrew responded: "It's true, it's exciting." ”

Li Ximu asked rhetorically, "What about you?" What is it done? ”

Ken Jason? Andrew responded: "Adhering to the lessons of the company, the cooking is as simple as possible, and the richest taste level is displayed in the simplest way, so I plan to make a simple high-calcium milk salt soda biscuit." ”

Li Ximu praised: "This way, it's really good, the soda biscuit itself is not as malleable as the sandwich biscuit, and the biscuit itself is also very thin, there is no strong sense of satisfaction, so from the perspective of the taste and crispiness of the soda biscuit, enhance the taste of the soda biscuit." ”

Ken Jason? Andrew smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to be very good at biscuits." ”

Li Ximuqian said: "I don't dare to be, but where does the high calcium come from, if you blindly increase the amount of milk, it will destroy the overall taste." ”

Ken Jason? Andrew explains: "Of course not, there are other calcium-supplementing ingredients besides milk. ”

After speaking, Ken Jason? Andrew slowly picked up an oval.

Li Ximu said with some puzzlement: "Eggs? How can eggs contain calcium? ”

Sikong Yao was also puzzled, it is a well-known thing that eggs contain a lot of whey protein and cholesterol, but it is unheard of to contain calcium.

Ke Yundan's eyes were confused, and he broke the mystery in one sentence: "As an ingredient, eggs can be divided into three parts, egg white, egg yolk, and ......"

Sikong Yao suddenly realized and said, "I see, it's an eggshell!" ”

Ken Jason? Andrew explained to Li Ximu: "The key to the high calcium in my biscuit recipe is the use of eggshell powder. The eggshell contains 94% calcium carbonate and has a porous structure, which is easily ground into powder, and the calcium of the eggshell after baking is easily absorbed by the human body. Moreover, adding one percent of eggshell flour to the flour can not only increase the mechanical strength of the dough and improve the quality of the biscuits, but also make the biscuits more crunchy. ”

Li Ximu nodded, silently clicked this trick a few times, and then said, "Thank you, Ken Jason?" Andrew's point, Kiki understood. ”

Yilian was a little confused, and even disgusted: "Can you eat eggshells...... It's weird......"

Sikong Yao explained: "After washing the eggshell, it is completely feasible to tear off the inner layer of white film, slowly bake it in a pot over low heat until it is crispy, grind it into a powder, and then add it to the flour. ”

Ilian accommodated: "Okay, although it's still a little hard to believe, but if you say you can, then it's okay." ”

Sikong Yao saw that Yi Lian was still a little resistant, and said with a smile: "In fact, the boundary between edible and inedible in nature has always been very blurred, even if it is the core of mango, some people pickle it into candied fruit and eat it, rosemary can be added to cooking as a plant, and shallots, as a popular cooking ingredient, are indeed a kind of traditional Chinese medicine herb introduction." How to make the most of the ingredients as much as possible while ensuring safety is the ladder that drives the development of the culinary industry. This is not only the crystallization of human wisdom, but also the expression of the chef's gratitude for life. ”

Yilian nodded and said approvingly: "Well, maybe with bold innovation and experimentation, cooking will become interesting, if not, then being a chef is too boring." ”

Sikong Yao nodded and smiled: "That's right." (To be continued......)
