Chapter 15: Wonton Noodles

I haven't cooked for a while, and I've been working overtime for the past two months, and I've been filling my stomach with takeout every day, but I have free time in the world here, which can probably be regarded as a rare good thing.

Hua Mian hummed a song to separate the yolk and egg whites of the duck eggs, poured the egg yolk into a wooden basin with flour, sprinkled with a little salt and a little oil to start mixing the noodles, without too much force, with the rhythm of the wrist to mix the noodles.

After the noodles are reconciled, take a cloth towel and cover it on the basin, start to process the river shrimp, wash and peel the shell, take a bowl and pour some wine to fill the peeled shell, the main liquor in this country is a brewed wine called flower wine similar to rice wine, the raw materials are flowers and grains, so there is a unique fresh aroma.

Pour a few spoonfuls of wine into the bowl with duck egg whites, also add a few drops of wine to the shrimp meat, knead well, wash the straw mushrooms and tender bamboo shoots, cut them into cubes, put them in the bowl with shrimp meat, sprinkle salt, and add a little meat filling from the leftover ingredients for dinner just from Sister Liu, and stir well.

Divide a small piece from the dough, roll it into a thin skin, and wrap it with a spoonful of filling, in fact, Huamian will only be the traditional wonton wrapping method of the general family, but fortunately, it is easy to get started, and after a while, there are more than a dozen shrimp wontons neatly arranged on the table next to it.

The dough is made with fresh duck egg yolk instead of water, so the noodles are full of toughness, and the golden ramen gradually takes shape as it flies up and down in Hanami's hands.

First, pour the shrimp shell and shrimp head part that has been soaked for a long time into the pot and fry it with oil, fry the oil part of the shrimp shell and the essence of the shrimp head, then add water to start boiling the soup, pour the egg white into the soup in the middle, remove a layer of foam on the surface, add salt immediately when the soup begins to boil, and cook noodles and wontons in another pot next to it.

Take out a bean celadon Kwai mouth bowl, first take out the cooked noodles and put them into the bowl, add a few wontons, pour the soup on the two scalded greens with water, sprinkle a little sesame seeds, cut the chives into thin yards on the noodles, the green bowl of golden flour, pink wonton and tender green vegetables, a bowl of wonton noodles looks a little cute.

Sister Liu had just entered the small room behind the kitchen after cleaning up outside, and when she opened the door, she saw the sweaty Huamian who was eating.

"Wow, it tastes so fragrant, and the color matching is also good."

"Sister Liu's share is left in the pot, I'll serve it"

"I'm not busy, you eat, I'll go by myself"

When the first bite of noodles was in her mouth, Sister Liu felt that the soup cakes she had eaten in the past 40 years looked like fakes, and although this bowl of wonton noodles had some similar appearance to soup cakes, there was a considerable gap in taste. The golden noodles are full of toughness, even if they are soaked in the soup and do not lose their unique elasticity, this kind of food called wonton, wrap the filling with noodles, although it is in the noodle soup but the tender juice in the filling is not lost at all, this bowl of wonton noodles and the taste of fresh vegetables are blended together, which not only makes a unique taste but also does not destroy the characteristics of the food itself, making people discover for the first time that eating can also be a pleasant thing.

After drinking the last spoonful of soup, Hua Mian's eyes shifted from the bowl, and when she looked up, she saw Sister Liu, who was sitting opposite, looking at her with a somewhat complicated gaze.

"Miss Huamian, do you want to change your job and come to the kitchen as a chef?"

"I can't manage the kitchen in the house, but the maid's kitchen can still have the final say"

"Your cooking technique is unique, but the taste is really delicious, I have never eaten such delicious pasta"

"I'll go to Sister Juan early tomorrow morning to ask for someone"

Hua Mian was still holding chopsticks in her hand, and the work transfer had already been arranged.
