Chapter 32 Braised hollow noodles with tomato meat sauce
"Everything you can do is on the menu, and the one written in red is today's special menu." Su Miao replied with a smile full of enthusiasm.
"Special menu?"
"It's only a one-day special meal and the quantity is limited, so Childe came at the right time, and if he came back after noon, it was usually sold out."
"Hmph, clumsy business tricks!" The dusty young master sneered in a very disdainful tone, "It's because many people are focused on playing smart, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to study their crafts hard, and those skills that should be basic skills will disappear in the same way!" ”
This is...... Reprimanding her?
The corner of the green tendon jumped out of his forehead lively, and this arrogant tone that seemed to be deeply worried about Yue Liangguo's catering industry actually made Su Miao open her mouth and be speechless.
"What's the matter with this little white face?" Wu Ah Da and the others whispered in surprise.
"It's faulty, right?"
"It's to find fault, yes!"
"What Lao Tzu hates the most is this kind of pretentious sissy tongue, which is as white as powder, and a mouth is crepe that people can't understand, and it doesn't look useful!" Zhang Hu said disdainfully.
"Big Tiger, why do you have to lower your voice and say these words, it's better to let him hear it louder!" Wu Ada's slanted eyes at him asked, and Zhang Hu glared at him angrily.
"No, but this little brother is really, really handsome!" Zhao Long stumbled and was slapped by Zhang Hu.
The fat butler standing behind the young master saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and hurriedly smiled and played a round:
"Little eldest sister, my young master is from out of town, I don't know what you have here, can you help our young master introduce me?"
Without waiting for Su Miao to speak, the young master had already stroked his long black hair impatiently:
"Trouble is dead! On the menu, the same portion, to a small portion, and the special menu, what is written on it, a ball of red can't be seen clearly! ”
"It's braised hollow noodles with tomato meat sauce." Su Miao replied good-naturedly.
"Hollow noodles?" The young master frowned, and then said in a lofty tone, "Do it for me, and, what is a tomato?" ”
"Wolf Peach."
"Do you call wolf peach 'tomato' here?" The young master turned around and asked the fat butler suspiciously, and the fat butler shook his head and didn't know.
"Childe really wants the same?" Su Miao asked confirmatively.
"You can't do it?" The young master did not answer the rhetorical question.
…… Why is this person so angry when he speaks!
"Second sister, this person is so annoying!" Su Yan rubbed to Su Miao's side and whispered hostilely.
"Open the door to do business, no matter what the guest is, he is a fairy." Su Miao patted the back of his head, "Go and prepare!" ”
The other meals are semi-finished products, and Su Yan, who has been in business for a long time, can be made, only today's special menu of stewed hollow noodles with tomato meat sauce needs to be cooked on the spot, Su Miao put on a small flower hat sewn by Su Yan for her to wrap her hair, stood in front of the pot stove, put the minced meat that had been chopped into the bowl, and added cooking wine, salt, starch, a little water and garlic paste.
It is not difficult to make homemade cooking wine, first boil the sugar into a caramelized color, add rice wine and mix well, then add star anise, cinnamon, fennel, pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger slices and other spices to boil over low heat, and then boil for five minutes to cool is cooking wine. The spices are not fixed, and are generally used in any combination of local materials.
As for the starch Changle Town, it is naturally not sold, a few days ago, Su Miao bought a bag of sweet potatoes at a low price in the market, went home to peel and shredd, and then soaked them in water, and then the starch was integrated into the water and turned into starch liquid to settle down, and then took out the shredded sweet potatoes and poured out the water on them, and then took the precipitated wet starch to the sun and exposed it to the sun.
In order to improve the gluten of flour, Su Miao chose to mix flour and gluten with flour, and tried many times to adjust the best ratio. The gluten is washed out with water, and the mixed dough is left for about half an hour, and then washed in a coarse cloth with water, and the gluten is left in the cloth. The more times you wash, the lower the starch inclusion rate, the better the quality, and of course, the number of washes is also determined by what kind of noodles you want to be with.
The noodles are kneaded into a ball, rolled into thin cakes, cut into sheets, and rolled into hollow noodles to dry, which is hollow noodles, and the reason why drying them is also easy to preserve, this method of storing the noodles after drying them is said to come from the Arabs.
Add a little salt to the boiling water, put the hollow noodles in the net, and boil them in boiling water for about three minutes, the reason why the salt is added is to make the texture of the noodles firm, elastic and chewy.
After the noodles are cooked, remove the water and stir in a little clear vegetable oil to prevent the hollow noodles from sticking together.
Add garlic and shallots to the hot oil in a pan and stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the marinated minced meat and stir-fry for a while, add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry and add the tomato sauce. Tomato sauce is to peel and mash tomatoes into a puree with sugar and boil into a sauce, if you want to peel the tomatoes, you only need to simmer them in hot water for two minutes, and the tomatoes will automatically peel.
The fried tomato meat sauce is seasoned with monosodium glutamate and salt, which is made by completely crushing dried shiitake mushrooms and small fish with a little salt and mixing them into powder.
After adjusting the flavor of the sauce, pour the boiled hollow noodles into it, simmer it evenly, sprinkle with pepper, and put two nine-story tarts on top of the plate.
In the white porcelain plate, the hollow noodles with uniform lines and novel shapes are evenly wrapped in brightly colored tomato meat sauce, and are presented in a spiral triangle on the plate, and the green leaves are dotted on it, giving it a touch of freshness. Even if you just look at it with your eyes, you can clearly feel the smoothness and elasticity of each hollow surface, and it is chewy. The rich flavor of the sauce not only wraps around each noodle body, but also fills the hollow center of the hollow noodles, and when you bite into it, a thick and sour sauce gushes out, and even the same sauce as the outside becomes a different kind of rich and refreshing texture.
A plate of steaming stewed hollow noodles with tomato meat sauce was placed in front of the young master, but the young master was not surprised or aroused by her curiosity for this unique dish, he did not ask her how this noodle was different from other noodles, but stared at the plate for a moment, and stretched out his hand to the fat butler. The fat butler immediately opened a sky-blue silk bag, took out a pair of gold-inlaid jade chopsticks and handed them to the young master under the jaw-dropping eyes of everyone. The young master took it and tapped it on the hollow surface with the tip of his chopsticks, Zhang Hu couldn't look at his grinding and chirping, and couldn't help but say:
"Little brother, this noodle is only delicious when it is hot, and it is not delicious enough when it is cold!"
The young master didn't answer, nor did he look at him, paused, picked up a hollow noodle covered with sauce and shimmering, and slowly put it in his mouth.
