Chapter 164: Taste New
Remove the shell of the shrimp and remove the shrimp line, half of the shrimp is prepared with a small amount of salt, and the other half is chopped into minced shrimp with the back of a knife; Pig fat and lean pork minced into meat puree; Chop the green onion. I found a porcelain basin and put a few ingredients together, put an appropriate amount of salt, and whipped in one direction until the filling was strong.
The three brothers of the Zhuo family, together with Chai Yanfeng, quietly watched Shu Jin's skillful movements, and now every time Shu Jin cooks, there will always be many audiences. These people didn't want to steal the teacher, but felt that it was really a pleasure to watch the process of the food being made from Shu Jin's hands.
It's the same this time, Shu Jin, one of the new dishes, plans to launch shrimp dumplings, so he plans to make some tonight for everyone to try.
After stirring the filling, Shu Jin took out the flour and cornstarch, stirred them together in a ratio of three to one, then added a small amount of salt, and then poured in the hot water that had just been boiled and stirred slowly.
Shrimp dumplings are a classic delicacy of Cantonese people, a good shrimp dumpling must be a dumpling skin white and translucent, thin as paper, the filling is faintly visible, such shrimp dumplings look very pleasing to the eye. In fact, the secret of the translucency of the dumpling skin lies in the noodles.
The rubber skin of shrimp dumplings is made by mixing flour with corn starch and blanching noodles in boiling water. Many people don't know what the so-called flour is, but in fact, flour is wheat starch. You can think of the cold skin that you often eat in summer. Liangpi is usually made of wheat starch, which is why it has that translucent feeling.
Because cooking always needs to be used, Shu Jin specially asked people to find a workshop to make a batch of starch, in addition to corn starch, that is, flour and potato starch. As for the corn and potatoes that everyone doesn't know, anyway, Shu Jin now has Zhuangzi. If there is anything that is said to be planted in the village, others will not study it deeply. Besides, the processing of starch to find a trustworthy workshop. I'm not afraid of things outflowing.
The noodles of the shrimp dumpling wrappers are reconciled, cover the lid and simmer for a while, then take it out and knead it well, then add lard and knead it into a ball. Next, the dough is rolled into strips and rolled into a skin, wrapped in the dumpling filling, and a whole shrimp is placed before the dumpling is sealed. Make beautiful dumplings.
Shu Jin skillfully rolled out the agents one by one, and at this time, Chai Yanfeng had already washed his hands and took the initiative to come over to help make dumplings. Shu Jin taught him this kind of work in the past. So although the dumplings he wrapped may not be as beautiful as Shu Jin, they are also presentable.
Several brothers of the Zhuo family were also watching from the sidelines, but at this moment, they were a little surprised to see Chai Yanfeng actually step forward to help. Outcome. Before he was surprised, Shu Jin raised his eyes and said:
"If you want to eat, go wash your hands and come and help. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat! ”
"Huh?"
The three brothers reacted differently, Zhuotong Zhuoda touched his nose and obediently went to wash his hands, only Zhuo Xian. When I got up, I didn't forget to call out. "Didn't you ask us to come and help you taste the food? We are guests, how do we let the guests do it? What is your reasoning? ”
"Who invited you? Didn't I say I didn't want you to come? ”
"Ugh!" Zhuo Xian was choked.
The few people next to him laughed. Chai Yanfeng wrapped another dumpling with both hands steadily, put it on the bamboo curtain where the dumplings were placed, and then opened his mouth to intercede for Zhuo Xian:
"Okay, Shu Jin, none of them have done this, Ah Xian doesn't come."
Shu Jin saw that Chai Yanfeng had spoken, snorted, and stopped talking. But the Trodat children quit.
"No! The second brother is the best at eating every time, how can he eat so much without working! Get to work! Definitely! ”
Zhuo Xian listened, jumped to his feet angrily, stepped forward and raised his hand to shine on Zhuoda's head:
"Stinky boy, it's like you've eaten less! Are you my own brother or not? I even want others to talk! ”
didn't think about it, but Zhuoda stiffened his neck and said: "There is food, no brothers!" ”
In a word, it made everyone laugh. Even Shu Jin laughed so often that his hands trembled, so that he pinched and exposed the dumpling skin.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, dumplings, it's just that everyone works together, and then eats them together to taste. I don't believe you can try it later. ”
Then, Shu Jin talked about the legends of various dumplings.
"There are many legends about dumplings, and the previous dynasty called it a ravioli. One is to commemorate the Pangu clan's groundbreaking and ending the chaotic state of the world, and the other is to take its homonym with "hoarding", which means "full hoarding of grain". In addition, the folk saying that eating dumplings is also related to Nuwa's creation of people. In order to make the ears not fixed, Nuwa pricked a small eye on the ears of the people, tied the ears with a thin thread, and put the other end of the thread in the mouth of the loess people to bite it, so that the ears could be considered to be good. In order to commemorate Nuwa's exploits, the common people wrapped dumplings, pinched the shape of human ears with noodles, and filled them with filling, and ate them with their mouths. This stuffing is also a homonym for taking the line.
It is said that it is better to eat dumplings, and if you can eat this, it means that your life is peaceful and your family is happy, so eating dumplings is for everyone to have a taste. ”
In the end, Shu Jin said this. Several people listened to it and felt reasonable, so they joined in with all hands and feet, and the dumplings were also of different shapes; The most beautiful is, of course, Shu Jinbao's, followed by Chai Yanfeng's, and as for other people's, anyway, they can be regarded as dumplings.
Wrap all the dumplings and steam them for a quarter of an hour. When it came out of the pot, the crystal-like shrimp dumplings stood in the cage drawer, arousing everyone's full appetite.
Of course, Shu Jin will not just let everyone eat dumplings. She also prepared another dish:
Chicken breasts are diced, marinated in advance and then coated with water starch. Dice the cucumber, cut the green onion into small pieces, and take out the dried chili peppers from the space.
In a small bowl, add soy sauce, vinegar, salt, a small piece of Shu Jin's homemade white starch sugar, and add rice wine to make a bowl of sauce.
Leave oil at the bottom of the wok, first stir-fry the peppercorns and chili peppers, then add the green onions, and then add the diced chicken.
Stir-fry a little rice wine until the chicken changes color, finally pour in the sauce, then add diced cucumbers, cooked peanuts, and a piece of kung pao chicken is completed!
This Sichuan dish, which was famous in the past life, was listed on the menu of almost all restaurants with stir-fried dishes in later generations, how could Shu Jin let it be buried? Yipinge has a complete set of ingredients, and it is completely possible to push this dish out and make money.
Similarly, her kung pao chicken has an ingredient that no other house has, and that is chili. If someone imitates this dish, the result will inevitably be different in taste. This is also convenient for Yipinge to take the lead.
When Shu Jin said the name of the dish, several men were really surprised. Because of the palace character of Kung Pao Chicken, everyone will think of the imperial city and the imperial palace.
As a result, this dish was again covered with a noble color.
No matter what era, the common people are admired and curious about the things in the court, if it is said that this is from the palace, then everyone will probably be tempted to buy a copy and taste it.
So, Zhuo Xian shouted that Shu Jin was treacherous, and Zhuo Tong and others praised Shu Jin for being really good at naming names.
"How do you know there are no such dishes in the palace? Have you been to the palace and tasted it? Shu Jin squinted at Zhuo Xiandao.
Zhuo Xian opened his mouth, he couldn't speak, looked at his brother who didn't think it was a big deal, and waved his hand helplessly, "Gotcha!" You win! ”
So, in the midst of laughter, Zhuo Xian angrily swallowed a shrimp dumpling and refused to speak. (To be continued......)
