Chapter 307: Scallion Pancake
What to cook for this first meal? Yang Huairen crossed his waist and looked at the materials in the kitchen, but he didn't know what to do not reveal his true identity, and let the big boss be impressed by him?
Beef noodles? No, there are chickens, ducks and fish here, but there is no beef, although it is said that pork bones and pork can be used instead of beef to make pork noodle soup, but the old bone broth takes a lot of time to boil slowly, at least a day's work.

Pork noodle soup can be an option for tomorrow, but not today. There is another reason, if Yang Huairen made ramen, it would be easy to expose his identity.
Although the chain of hotels that provide beef noodles has begun to gradually spread in the Great Song Dynasty, due to the lack of beef supply, in addition to the dozen or so big cities and the surrounding areas of Tokyo City, the branches of the thirteen franchised restaurants in many places have only just begun to provide beef noodle soup, and the taste is barely there, but there is no braised beef.
Even so, the beef noodle business of a branch of Baxianlou in Qizhou is also quite hot, although there is no one in Yuncheng County, but Liang Shangshan is also more than 400 people, and there is a certain leader in Qizhou who has eaten this kind of beef noodle soup without beef in Qizhou.
Although the technique of ramen is simple, it has not yet been passed on, and if Yang Huairen made ramen, it would be easy for others to suspect his identity.
Make some ravioli or hemp balls or something? It's not very good, it's too much time to make these special snacks, and the taste is not necessarily better than that made in the stall, which doesn't show the exquisiteness and special features of Yang Huairen's cooking skills.
For example, to make wontons, Yang Huairen may be better in terms of skills, and he also has innate advantages in seasoning, but he doesn't often make this thing after all, compared to Ke Xiaoxiao, a small vendor who sells wontons for a living, the taste made by Yang Huairen will not be much better than Ke Xiaoxiao's, or rather, the good is not obvious.
To be simple and easy to make, and to be delicious, Yang Huairen suddenly thought of scallion pancakes. Scallion pancakes are a very common breakfast in the north, but Yang Huairen has not seen them on the streets of the Northern Song Dynasty.
There are some restaurants, but not as breakfast, but as an accompaniment to eat, at that time he was also surprised, watching a person eat scallion pancakes on the cooking cake, I don't know what it tastes like.
The reason is probably because the price of edible vegetable oil or animal oil is still relatively expensive, and the poor people can't afford to eat it.
Yang Huairen didn't prepare the materials, but went to light the stove first, He Zhiyun saw him go to the stove, although he didn't understand why he did it, he still handed him the reed stalks on the side, and the stove burned after a while.
"Official," He Zhiyun asked in a low voice, "why did you start the stove first?" ”
Yang Huairen added another straw to the stove, covered his nose and said: "It's too cold on this mountain in the morning, it doesn't matter if he eats breakfast or not, let's warm up first." ”
He Zhiyun was sweet in his heart and smiled slightly, "Then have you thought about what to do for him?" ”
"Well, making scallion pancakes is simple and convenient, and few of these dirt buns on the mountain have probably eaten them."
"Okay, what do you need the concubine to do for you?"
Yang Huairen said with a smile: "I came to let you warm up and warm your body, you just sit by the stove and choke on cigarettes and be a beauty quietly, hehe." ”
Although He Zhiyun became a yellow-faced woman in her forties, she was still so favored by Yang Huairen, and she felt full of happiness again, she also knew that she wanted to help with cooking, and she basically thought of making trouble for Yang Huairen, so she grabbed a wooden pier and sat down, holding her cheeks and watching him get busy.
You can use normal dough to make scallion pancakes, the difference is just to add a little salt or sugar to enhance the flavor.
Yang Huairen first used the primer to make the dough, then put the dough into a clay pot, cover it with a layer of clean damp cloth, and then put the clay pot next to the stove.
It takes about an hour to ferment the dough normally, but now that it is winter and the climate is cold, this fermentation process will be much longer, and even double the normal temperature.
However, if it is placed at the edge of the stove, the heat coming out of the stove can make the temperature in the clay pot next to the stove reach the effect of hot summer, so that the fermentation process can be reduced to half or one-third, so that half an hour is enough.
During this period, Yang Huairen had to prepare scallion oil and ghee noodles. The main ingredient is green onions, and at the moment there is a half-human-tall green onion from the local origin, peel the dead skin on the outside, and rinse the green and white part of the inside to pinch the tail and rinse it directly.
Chop the green onion into minced pieces and put them in a large bowl, and then pour the seasoning directly into the bowl.
Since there was no ready-made five-spice powder, Yang Huairen found a stone mortar, added large grains of salt, dried peppercorns and some other flavors, and directly mashed them into powder, and then poured half of the powder into a large bowl with chopped green onions.
Yang Huairen had two kinds of oil in front of him for him to use, one was the most common vegetable oil on the market, and the other was lard that had solidified into a paste.
Yang Huairen sniffed it, the lard was still relatively fresh, and the vegetable oil was raw. He used to cook vegetable oil, and he first boiled the vegetable oil once to remove the astringency of lettuce oil before using it, but now it seems that there is no time to boil oil for him, so he chooses to use lard.
In later generations, everyone may have been accustomed to eating vegetable oil, and many people felt that lard was too greasy and the smell of meat was too strong, but in the Song Dynasty, for ordinary people, the smell of lard was the most fragrant and gluttonous.
Yang Huairen used a frying spoon to rip a spoonful of ointment, and then put it on the stove to heat, when the ointment-like lard was all melted and had a certain oil temperature, Yang Huairen poured the spoonful of oil into the green onion bowl, and then stirred it with chopsticks.
Puff pastry is the key to the crispness and deliciousness of scallion pancakes, add one-fifth of the weight of flour used in the dough to a large bowl, then add the remaining half of the seasoning powder that has been mashed into minced powder, and then pour half the weight of the flour with about eight or nine ripe hot oil, and stir it into puff pastry.
Brush the board with a layer of oil, take out the dough and knead it a little to exhaust, and then divide it into small dough of about the same size.
Roll out each small dough into a thin dough, smear a layer of puff pastry, then roll it up and press it flat, brush it with a layer of scallion oil, then roll it up horizontally, brush it with scallion oil or add chopped green onions, and finally roll it into a cake blank.
Soon all the small dough is made into a scallion pancake base, and then the last step is the one, no frying pan, you can use a regular round pan.
Brush the bottom of the pot with a layer of oil, then put the cake blank in flat, and fry it on medium heat until both sides are browned and slightly browned, and a scallion pancake full of green onion fragrance is ready.
