Chapter 17: Tiramisu
The waiter began to serve the food while speaking, this restaurant has a long history and has always been famous for eating pigeons. Xia Huan let Su Yan be the master, so she ordered three signature roast pigeons, and then asked for a roast duck breast and a broccoli grilled mushroom.
Qin Xuan nodded while nibbling on the pigeon and said it was delicious, and on the other side he was still muttering his tiramisu cake. Just now he wanted to go to the western restaurant next door to eat, because he liked the cake from that restaurant.
Su Yan and Xia Huan both felt that the food in that house tasted average and was not very delicious. Because Qin Xuan wanted to eat cake, Su Yan also went to ask them if they could order a single tiramisu to take, and replied that they could only eat in dine-in, and there was no takeout. Then there is no choice but to vote. The voting result was unsurprisingly two to one, and Qin Xuan had no choice but to agree to come to the Chinese food he was eating now.
Because she was afraid of acne, Su Yan, a roasted pigeon, only ate one pigeon leg, and gave the rest to Qin Xuan and Xia Huan, while saying to Qin Xuan: "If you really want to eat tiramisu, I'll make one for you tomorrow!" It's not really authentic......
"You can also make cakes?" Qin Xuan was pleasantly surprised. Also, since Qin Xuan moved to Su's house, Su Yan has never done baking, and Qin Xuan has always thought that the tools in the kitchen are all used by Su's mother!
"Tiramisu's approach is simple." Su Yan has made it several times before, and there is a very important ingredient in making this cake - mascarpon cheese, which is sold in their supermarket. This is specially entered by Su's father in order to make it easier for Su Yan to make cakes, masala wine, animal whipping cream, cocoa powder, finger biscuits These ingredients can all be found in the supermarket, and other ingredients are readily available at home.
Xia Huan had eaten the tiramisu made by Su Yan, and nodded at this time: "I personally feel that Su Yan's cooking is more in line with my taste." ”
Qin Xuan was said to be very looking forward to it, and the speed of foodies has accelerated a lot, and he is bent on eating well and Su Yan to buy materials quickly.
After eating, Su Yan asked Xia Huan to go home and rest first, and she and Qin Xuan went to the supermarket to get the materials, and he just came over to eat tomorrow.
After buying the things and going home, Su Yan went back to her room to take a nap. I didn't get up until two o'clock in the afternoon, and when I came out after washing, Qin Xuan was already waiting in the living room.
Su Yan entered the kitchen, and Qin Xuan also followed: "I'll also come to study." ”
Su Yan instructed him to separate the yolks of the two eggs and asked him to beat them with an egg beater. She put the prepared amount of water and caster sugar into the pot and boiled it until it boiled into sugar water, then turned off the heat, and while whipping the sugar water with a whisk, she poured in the egg yolk that Qin Xuan had beaten to a thick state. After pouring the yolks, continue to whip for 10 minutes, then pour the beaten yolks into a container on the side for later use. Add the mascarpon cheese in another bowl, beat it with a whisk until smooth, add the egg yolk paste and stir well. At this time, the gelatin slices that had been soaked and drained before were heated in water until they dissolved into a liquid, and then poured into the previously mixed mascarpon cheese egg mixture, and stirred well. Then take the finger biscuits, soak them in masala wine, quickly pick them up, spread them on the bottom of the cake mold, repeat this step until the bottom of the mold is covered with finger biscuits, then pour in half of the cheese paste that was prepared before, and then continue the process of spreading the finger biscuits, and then pour in the remaining half of the cheese paste after spreading......
The whole process is finished, sprinkle a layer of cocoa powder on it, and then put the cake mold in the refrigerator to refrigerate, Su Yan clapped her hands: "It's done!" Take it out tomorrow and demold it. ”
Except for helping Su Yan beat the egg yolk at the beginning, Qin Xuan had been observing Su Yan's operation from the side, and he was fascinated by it, and he came back to his senses when Su Yan clapped his hands: "Well, it's really simple!" ”
Su Yan smiled: "You go out to rest first, I'll make a cup of green tea, what do you want to drink?" ”
Qin Xuan has always been docile in front of Su Yan, almost everything Su Yan says is what it is: "I also drink green tea." ”
Su Yan was a little stunned while making tea. When Qin Xuan helped her beat the egg yolk liquid just now, that scene reminded her of a long, long time ago, when the two were watching a food show, and the host introduced the method of tiramisu, and also told a romantic love story about the origin of tiramisu. After Qin Xuan saw it, he volunteered to make it for Su Yan to eat. Qin Xuan ran to several supermarkets just for the materials, and then there was no electric whisk at home, so it was all up to Qin Xuan to send it by hand, and he was so tired that he didn't want to move. Unable to buy masala, Qin Xuan made it himself with rum and espresso...... It took no less than three tosses before I finally succeeded.
The moment the cake was formed, Qin Xuan was as happy as a child, and held it in front of her to ask for credit. She said before that the practice of the Western restaurant was not authentic, in fact, what she is doing now is not the most authentic, at that time Qin Xuan made the most traditional classic soft version of tiramisu, which was served in a glass and eaten with a spoon, and the taste was so sweet that it was evocative. In retrospect, I still have a faint sweet feeling.
"Hiss......" Su Yan thought about it in her mind, and she didn't notice that the hot water poured into her fingers, which made her gasp and hurriedly put it on the faucet to flush the cold water.
Qin Xuan hurriedly walked in when he heard the movement, first to check Su Yan's fingers, Su Yan shook his head and said that it was okay, he found a rag to wipe the water that Su Yan had just poured to the overflow, and criticized in his mouth: "Why is it so frizzy to pour water!" ”
Su Yan stuck out her tongue, fortunately it was not badly burned, and after two or three minutes of washing, there were no traces of her fingers, only a little red remained.
After everyone gathered the next day, Su Yan took out the cake and took it out of the mold, cut it into small pieces, and distributed it one by one. After being distributed to Qin Xuan, he couldn't wait to taste it, and after tasting it carefully, he took another bite, and then gave a thumbs up: "Xia Huan is right!" It's really even better than that Western restaurant! ”
"That's it!" Su Kai began to be proud again, "The cakes made by my sister are much better than those outside!" By the way, you don't seem to have eaten the macarons made by my sister, so you have a chance to try it another day, and I promise to praise it! ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Dad and Xia Huan nodded together. Xia Ma also looked at Su Yan expectantly.
Su Yan held her forehead and sighed, how did she raise such a group of foodies! As soon as I started eating, I thought about the next one.
"You foodies!" Su Ma laughed and scolded, expressing Su Yan's heart at this moment!
Su Yan looked at the smiling person in front of her and thought: That's it! It's good to be so happy, and let the previous ones be the ones that used to be!
