Chapter Fifty-Seven: Who's the Rogue in the End!
The wolfberry sprouts in the pot gradually became soft from the original firm and crisp.
Chen Er did not turn off the heat, but took advantage of the heat and sprinkled fine salt in the pot. The spatula in his hand stir-fried a few more times and stirred the fine salt well.
The sound of "zizi" in the pot became even more dull, and the oil fragrance wafted out with a faint salty fragrance.
Chen Er took a deep breath, picked up the white porcelain plate next to him, and quickly took out the fried wolfberry sprouts in the pot.
"Okay, the vegetarian dish is ready!"
Chen Er picked up the plate of hot oil and salt and fried wolfberry sprouts.
The white porcelain plate contains green wolfberry buds, like a fine jade that has been polished to a very bright color, the color is crystal clear, and it can reflect a faint fluorescence by itself without a light brush.
Chen Er put the dish in the incubator first.
"The duck hasn't been marinated yet...... The anchor is now going to make a dessert. ”
"Jujube paste yam cake."
This jujube paste yam cake is also a classic dessert in the south.
At the same time, jujube paste yam cake also appeared in "Dream of Red Mansions", which was a tonic taken by Qin Keqing during his illness.
Jujube paste yam cake is easy to digest and has a sweet taste, while red dates can replenish qi and blood, and yams can strengthen the spleen and stomach.
The key to making this jujube paste yam cake is to choose fresh ingredients to perfectly bring out the special aroma of dates and yams.
Therefore, the ingredients that Chen Er needs to use are mainly red dates and yams.
Soak the dates in warm water for fifteen minutes.
Peel and wash the yam and cut into small pieces.
Chen Er said while cutting the yam, "The anchor has a unique secret to choosing the yam. ”
"Yams, like lotus roots, are crispy. After the powder yam is steamed, the viscosity is low, the powder is heavy, and it is easy to press into dough, which is suitable for making yam cake. After the crispy yam is steamed, it is brittle and sticky, has more water, and is thick, so it is not easy to make cakes, so it is recommended that you do not buy crispy yams. ”
After the yam is cut, it is put in a steamer with the red dates and steamed for an hour.
Take it out again after an hour.
The steamed jujube becomes very soft, and it can be easily kneaded into jujube paste with a gentle pinch on the fingertips, and the jujube core can be pinched out.
Chen Er picked up a jujube and put it in his hand, pinched the jujube with two fingers and rubbed it gently, and easily separated the jujube skin from the jujube flesh.
"For the sake of taste and appearance, when making jujube paste, the first thing we have to do is to separate the jujube skin and the jujube core."
Steamed red dates are much easier to deal with than raw red dates.
It didn't take long for Chen Er to succeed in getting all the dates right.
Then mash the jujube meat and yam separately.
The jujube paste and yam puree are pounded, and they cannot be used immediately.
It also needs to be reprocessed.
First of all, a small amount of glutinous rice flour and stem rice flour should be mixed into the yam puree.
Chen Er said a small amount to the fans, but everyone was not satisfied with the quantifier.
"How much is a small amount? Is it a hundred grams or two hundred grams? Is it a scoop or two? ”
"Every time I look at the food making strategy, the most hated words are a small number of words!"
Chen Er felt that this was indeed a problem.
For professional chefs, this may not be a problem, but for most fans, the word "small amount" is really not easy to understand.
So Chen Er thought about it carefully, "Sauce purple, let's replace the word a small amount with, three tablespoons." ”
"Ahem...... Add three tablespoons of glutinous rice flour and stem rice flour to the mashed yam. ”
Chen Er said, and brought a clean spoon.
And abandon the rough method of directly picking up the jar and pouring it in the past.
After adding glutinous rice flour and stem rice flour, you also need to add two spoonfuls of sugar and some water, and stir again to puree.
A little peanut oil and sugar need to be added to the jujube paste, stirred evenly, mixed with the yam puree, steamed and then eaten.
To make jujube paste yam cake, you can knead the pastry by hand or with the help of the power of the mold.
Chen Er uses a large rectangular mold.
First, a thin layer of peanut oil is applied to the mold, then a layer of yam puree, then a layer of jujube paste, and another layer of yam puree is spread on top of the jujube paste.
Once laid, press tightly and steam in a steamer for fifteen minutes.
After fifteen minutes, the jujube paste yam cake is separated from the mold and cut into small squares with a knife.
The finished jujube paste yam cake is indeed very eye-catching in appearance.
The yam mud is as white as snow, and the jujube mud is dark red as a century-old sandalwood.
The contrast between the two colors is great, and the combination is unusually conspicuous.
Chen Er picked up a piece and smelled it, "Look at this pastry, it's beautiful......"
As he spoke, he put the pastry in his hand in front of the camera.
Let's take a closer look.
The cut part is perfect, without the slightest dragging of mud and water.
The layering of jujube paste and yam paste is also very beautiful, relying on each other but distinct.
Chen Er turned the pastry in his hand, and everyone seemed to see the slightest heat coming out from above.
"Looks like it should be delicious......"
Chen Er said very seriously, "Then I'll taste it first." ”
So, before everyone could react, Chen Er's head suddenly came to the camera, his mouth grew up, and he bit off more than half of the jujube paste yam cake in one bite.
Chew it in your mouth, chew it.
Half of the pastry was steaming hot in front of the camera.
All the fans outside the screen almost opened their mouths at the same time, watching Chen Er chew his mouth and make a little comment while eating.
"This jujube paste yam cake is too soft and fragrant!"
"Not only with a strong natural jujube fragrance and a fresh fragrance of yam, but also a faint aroma of glutinous rice."
"It tastes fluffy and non-sticky, and it tastes great!"
After speaking, he ate the remaining pastries in his hand in one bite.
Tea eggs invade the earth: "Old and wet! I'm going to block you! ”
Pork stewed vermicelli: "Chen Lao is really too much!" You can eat it, and if you want to make a speech after eating, forget it! The most unbearable thing is that you have to come to the camera to eat for Mao! ”
Watermelon is not an eastmelon: "That's right! We don't want to know which cheek raiser you're chewing on when you eat! ”
Chen Er finished eating the pastry in his mouth and sighed, "After all, you still don't love me enough. ”
Fans: "It's Chen Laoshi, you don't love us enough!" ”
Chen Er raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "I don't love you enough!" What am I going to do to love you? ”
Sunny day: "Eat, play and sleep together!" ”
Riding a snail to run to the well-off: "Kiss and hug and lift high!" ”
Chen Er narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of disgust.
"You scoundrels......"
"Such a big person, embarrassed to say such a thing?"
Chen Er said seriously, "Old man, it's free." ”
"If it's a sister paper, you can consider it."
Fans: "Who is the hooligan!" ”
