Lin Xinyue burst into tears and laughed, but obviously didn't forgive Xu Xuexue so easily, and still said, "But I still have one condition." ”

Xie Xin said puzzledly: "What else?" ”

Lin Xinyue smiled: "He has to make a dish that satisfies me." ”

Xie Xin thought that it was difficult to compare to the sky, but he didn't expect it to be just a dish, so he naturally laughed happily and said, "That's not simple, let's talk about it earlier." ”

The corners of Lin Xinyue's mouth raised a smile and said, "But this dish has requirements." ”

Xie Xin said puzzledly: "What request?" ”

Lin Xinyue recalled the harmonious time when the three of them were together when she was a child, and immediately felt sad, and said: "If he can make the kind of radish cake we ate when we were children, I will forgive him." ”

"Carrot cake?" Xie Xin was puzzled, thought for a while, and said in surprise: "Is it the kind that the grandmother from the next door made when I was a child?" ”

Xie Xin recalls that when they were just children, the grandmother next door would always make delicious radish cake dishes to entertain them, sweet as sugar, sweet and delicious, and fragrant.

Lin Xinyue nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, that's it, since grandma and she left, we can't get that taste back, if he can make that kind of food, I will admit that we can still be like before." ”

Xie Xin was slightly embarrassed. Said: "Sister, you are making things difficult for us with pure intentions, how is it possible to make a dish exactly the same as grandma's radish cake?" What's more, Si Lin is not an expert in this area. ”

Lin Xinyue pouted and said: "Then I don't care, anyway, this is my biggest concession, if I can't do it, I won't forgive him." I wasn't the one who did the wrong, so why did I spare him so easily? ”

Xie Xin sighed, and was about to make another defense, but Sikong Yao took the lead. "Okay." As long as you can make a radish cake that satisfies Sister Xinyue, is it okay? ”

Xie Xin was slightly stunned, and before he could react, Lin Xinyue responded: "Well, as long as he can make a radish cake that satisfies me." ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "Okay." That's it. ”

Xie Xinrao wanted to say something too late. At the moment, he said helplessly: "Xiao Yao." Are you sure? ”

Sikong Yao gave a thumbs up and swore solemnly: "Wrap it up on me." ”

Xie Xin sighed helplessly, since they had already made the decision. Then we can only hope that Sikong Yao really has a way to help Xu Xueyu make a radish cake dish that can satisfy Lin Xinyue.

Radish cake is a traditional Chinese pastry, a special cake of the Han nationality in Fujian, southern Fujian, Guangdong and other regions. Made from Zai Lai Rice Noodles, also known as Zai Lai Rice Noodles, it is the best flour used in Chinese dim sum and can be used in making Chinese snacks such as radish cakes, meat balls, and bowls of cake. Then add pickled shredded radish and other ingredients to the rice flour batter, and steam it in a steamer to make a pastry snack. This kind of pastry can be eaten in a variety of ways, and it can be sold in large and small cities, and the price is cheap, delicious and nutritious.

Soak the rice for an hour and a half, drain and wash, grind it into a dry pulp, add 250ml of water and mix it into a thin slurry, and put it in a basin for later use. The key to the radish cake lies in the selection of radish materials, and the best "Rugao radish" is washed, peeled, and shoeed into fine shreds. This kind of radish has been famous at home and abroad for its thin skin, tender meat, juicy, sweet and not spicy, and less lignin.

Even proverbs such as "radish rings, crunchy, you can live for more than a hundred years if you eat it" have long been spread with Rugao radish

When the shredded radish is boiled in 500 ml of water until it is fully cooked, the bacon and sausage can be cut into fine grains, fried with dried shrimp in oil until fragrant, and the coriander and green onion are washed and chopped respectively. Add bacon, sugar, refined salt, pepper and monosodium glutamate to the cooked shredded radish and mix well, pour it into the slurry by boiling and stir it into a cake blank, take a square plate, lightly smear a layer of oil, pour the cake blank, evaporate it flat, and put it into the steamer.

Boil a pot of boiling water, put it in a steamer, steam for about 20 minutes, sprinkle the sausage and dried shrimp on the cake noodles, and continue to steam for 10 minutes; Only in this way can the radish cake be cooked soft and delicious, crispy and springy.

Then sprinkle the coriander and green onions, use the residual heat for a while, take it out and let it cool, cut it into small pieces, and then heat it or fry it in oil when eating.

The aroma of the radish cake, mixed with the aroma of bacon and dried shrimp, makes the sweet taste of the radish more prominent, and after being fried in hot oil, the aroma is overflowing, which makes the tip of the tongue flutter.

In the Xu family's shop, Sikong Yao presented a plate to everyone and said with a smile: "This is how to make radish cakes, do you remember clearly?" ”

Xu Xueyu looked at the radish cake in front of him casually, obviously not taking it to heart, which made Sikong Yao a little deflated.

It seems that Xu Xuexue is obviously still angry, and he did not calmly accept the conditions put forward by Lin Xinyue. However, Xie Xin didn't care, greedily sniffed the sweetness in the air, and laughed: "Ha, this smell, tsk, I'm welcome!" ”

The addition of bacon cubes and dried shrimp also makes the taste of the radish cake more deep, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is extremely soft, and you will not get tired of eating how much you eat.

"It's delicious, haha, this one is delicious, it's much more delicious than what it sells outside, it's full of filling, it's so satisfying." Xie Xin snatched the plate in front of Xu Xuexue and said with a smile: "If you don't eat it, this will be mine." ”

Xu Xuexuan glanced at Xie Xin and said disdainfully: "Whatever." ”

The indifferent attitude made Sikong Yao slightly displeased, Xu Xue's temperament is indeed not liked by girls, if it weren't for the ginkgo biloba, Sikong Yao would not be too lazy to teach this kind of person.

Sikong Yao turned to Xie Xin and asked, "How is it?" This turnip cake is okay, right? ”

Xie Xin nodded with satisfaction, swallowed the radish cake in his mouth, and smiled happily: "Haha, it's not good yet." ”

Sikong Yao, who was splashed with a basin of cold water, sighed helplessly and asked, "Where can't you?" ”

Xie Xin put another piece of radish cake in his mouth, opened his mouth while chewing, and said without getting tired of eating: "Although this is delicious, but it is still a little worse, I remember that the radish cake made by my grandmother in the past has corn in it." ”

"Is there corn?" Sikong Yao pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, I understand, it's a Hong Kong-style radish cake." ”

Carrot cake is a Cantonese home-style dim sum that often appears on the table, and the recipes evolved from the traditional radish cake are different, but they all lack the rich aroma of radish. In addition to being eaten directly with a variety of sauces, there are also many dishes derived from it. The Hong Kong-style radish cake is also extremely delicious.

Wash and rub the radish, then put it in boiling water and blanch it for two minutes, take it out, squeeze out the water after cooling it with cold water, cut the sausage, cooked corn and sea rice into cubes, put oil in the pot and cook it until it is hot, put in two dices and stir-fry for two minutes, and then put it out for later use.

Beat the shredded radish, add the fried sausage, corn and sea rice and stir well, then add glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour, add salt and white sugar and mix well to make radish cake dough.

Sticky rice flour is a flour ground from the seeds of gramineous rice, also known as rice flour or indica rice flour, which is the raw material of a variety of foods, and is the lowest glutinous variety among all kinds of rice, and has an irreplaceable role of glutinous rice flour.

The real pure rice flour is not snow-white, but slightly grayish, take a rectangular straight-mouth container, evenly coat the inner wall with a little oil, pour the radish cake dough into it and compact, and then take out the dough upside down. Make water in the steamer, steam the water on high heat for 30 minutes, let it cool and cut it into 1cm slices, and fry it over low heat to color both sides.

With the addition of rice noodles with lower viscosity, the texture of Hong Kong-style radish cake will be more elastic and more suitable for young people's tastes.

Sikong Yao smiled: "Come, try this." ”

The sweetness of the corn is completely different from the sweetness of the white radish, but it is very harmoniously mixed together, and with the springy texture, people can't help but take one piece after another.

Sikong Yao asked expectantly, "What about this, what about this?" ”

Xie Xin sucked on the residual aroma on the chopsticks, and almost picked up the plate to add it, but still laughed and said, "Haha, this is also super delicious, but it still doesn't work." ”

Failing one after another, Sikong Yao hung down in frustration and sighed, "Ah...... Isn't that okay too? ”

Xie Xin smiled: "Haha, although this is delicious, it is completely different from the kind of radish cake I ate when I was a child." ”

To his liking, Sikong Yao asked: "What kind of radish cake did you eat when you were a child?" ”

Xie Xin pondered for a while, his thoughts drifted to the memories of his childhood, and the sweet taste gave people a sense of freedom and romance, as if he was in a wide and inclusive ocean, as if he was running freely in the mountains.

What it was like, Xie Xin couldn't say, that indescribable feeling, so he had to say awkwardly: "Haha, I don't know, if you want to talk about meat dishes, I'm still good at it, I don't know these snacks at all." ”

Sikong Yao sighed helplessly, counting on Xie Xin's words, he was afraid that he would not be able to get the ginkgo biloba flowers for the rest of his life, so he couldn't help but say slightly angrily: "Brother Xie, can't you give some substantive advice?" ”

Xie Xin shrugged his shoulders, then pondered, and muttered, "I'll think about it." ”

Continuing to walk into the depths of his memory, Xie Xin closed his eyes and paid full attention, the sweeter taste made him puzzled, in addition to bacon, corn, shrimp skin, what else was there. The existence that looms in front of you, hidden in the radish cake, is like a separation, excellent taste, very deep taste, and I can't understand it.

Xie Xin suddenly opened his eyes, suddenly realized, and said, "I know, what is missing is a taste of shiitake mushrooms!"
