Chapter 78, the tower made of eggs (3 more)
The most important thing about the sea bass sauce is this sauce, which has to be used with tomato sauce.
In the past, there was a family owner who was in the Nanyang business, and brought back some extra tomato sauce, and she also learned some extra dishes, and finally improved it, and used it on the sea bass in sauce.
Now there is no ketchup, so I have to make my own.
Fortunately, she had studied it before, and it tasted similar to the tomato sauce outside.
Peel and dice two tomatoes.
Pour 6 thumb-sized pieces of rock sugar into a bowl of water and set aside.
Pour peanut oil into the pot, add diced tomatoes and fry until soft, add rock sugar water and salt, and let the tomato sauce come out of the pot, let it cool for later use.
Wash the pot, heat the pan, after the pot is raised with oil, pour in a little minced garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the blanched peas, corn kernels, diced carrots and stir-fry well, and then add tomato sauce and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add a small bowl of water and mix well, after boiling, pour in an appropriate amount of water starch and mix well, mix into a sauce, put it out and pour it on the sea bass.
The sea bass, which was originally steamed to a white and colorless color, is instantly covered with a thick coat of green peas, golden corn kernels, and red carrots, which makes your fingers move.
Liu Ruyue does not avoid people when cooking, whether it is watching the lively Yingge, Chen Yao, or Mama Huang who wants to learn some skills, she does not rush people.
The method of peach chicken dicing is not complicated, after the chicken breast is cut into cubes, salt, cooking wine, egg white, and water bean flour are added to grasp and starch evenly.
Soak the walnuts in warm water so that they are better peeled.
Wash the green beans, blanch them in boiling water with the diced carrots, drain and set aside.
Mix salt, stock, cooking wine, and bean flour to make a sauce.
Heat peanut oil in a pot, add diced chicken and cook until smooth, remove the oil.
Leave a little bottom oil in the pot to heat, stir-fry the green onions, garlic slices, and green pepper pieces together until the fragrance wafts out, and then pour in the diced chicken, green beans, carrots, and walnuts and stir-fry together until they are cooked, then you can pour in the mixed sauce, drop in a little sesame oil and stir-fry well.
Put it on the plate, a brain nourishing puzzle, moisturizing the lungs and nourishing the body, the texture is fresh and tender, and the taste is fresh and fragrant.
"Godmother, are you done? Shall we eat? After being plagued by Yingge's cooking skills for two months, Chen Yao persevered until now.
"I want to make another dessert, is there an ice cellar in Mama Huang's house? Is there ice to use now? Liu Ruyue knew that there might be ice cellars in the homes of ordinary families, but she was not sure whether the remaining family would prepare ice cubes after the head of the family went to the capital, so she could only ask first.
Chen Yao, who couldn't wait, didn't want to have any desserts, but when he saw Liu Ruyue asking about the ice cubes, his eyes lit up after a brush.
Yingge also looked at Mama Huang with great interest.
Under the expectation of everyone, Mama Huang was a little stressed, and no one replied disappointed, "Yes, I used to think that the head of the family would come back without knowing when he would come back, so every winter I would buy ice cubes and put them in the ice cellar to prepare a few pieces, although there are not many, but they can also be used, I don't know how much ice Shi Niang wants?" ”
"Just ask for ice the size of a tofu cube."
"Okay, I'll get it right away." Mama Huang took a food box and left with it.
Chen Yao saw that Liu Ruyue was not busy, so he stepped forward and asked, "Godmother, what delicious desserts are you going to make, black plum juice and iced white fungus soup?" ”
"I saw fruit in this kitchen for a fruit bowl, so I'm going to make a syrup." Liu Ruyue wasn't sure what to add, so she came to the ingredient cabinet like a medicine cabinet, looked at the words above, and picked up dried cranberries after pulling it open.
Fresh ingredients and fruits, she picked mint leaves, pineapples, lemons, "I want to make pineapple cranberry drink." ”
"Do these things taste good together?" Thinking of these things soaking in water, Chen Yao only felt that his teeth were sore.
"If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it." Yingge, who was holding the dog baby, did not miss any opportunity to hit Chen Yao.
Liu Ruyue knew that the two of them would not have any trouble, so she picked up the pineapple, peeled it, washed it, and cut it into small pieces.
Take 2 lemons and cut them in the middle, squeeze out the juice in a large bowl, the lemon juice should not be too much, otherwise it will be very sour when cooked.
Add cool white boil, then add a little honey and mint leaves to soak for a while.
Pour the soaked mint lemonade into the soup pot, put in the chopped pineapple pieces, seven or eight lemon slices, cook for a while, then add the dried cranberries, take it out when it boils, open the lid and fan it with a fan, so that the sugar water can cool down as soon as possible.
At this time, Mama Huang also took the ice cubes and came back.
Liu Ruyue wrapped an ice cube the size of a tofu cube in a cotton cloth, put it on the cutting board, found a scale and smashed it down.
The ice cubes don't need to be smashed too much, they are all poured into the glass basin, and the white mist is shrouded for a while.
Liu Ruyue asked Mama Huang to bring the dishes she had prepared before to the dining room first, and Chen Yao helped fan the sugar water, Liu Ruyue felt that there were children there, and there was no need to eat too cold, so she poured all the sugar water in the soup pot into the glass basin without waiting for the sugar water to cool.
Red and yellow, and round translucent lemon slices, green mint leaves are embellished, accompanied by a cool cold mist, which is very beautiful.
Chen Yao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Godmother, how many desserts do you have?" ”
Liu Ruyue, who walked to the dining room with a glass basin, fell into deep thought, she knows some of the eight major cuisines, and naturally knows some desserts, including those cream desserts made in a completely baked oven that are different from the steaming method of Beitan, and she has learned to make them before.
But there's no oven here, and she can't make extra baked desserts.
Chen Yao originally thought that Liu Ruyue would not answer, the godmother was already very good at cooking, and it was not a big problem that she would not make many desserts.
"A lot."
"A lot? How much is that? ”
"There are quite a lot, including cookies, cookies, cakes, and tarts." As Liu Ruyue said, Yingge looked dazed.
She had never heard of any of these things, and it sounded strange, "Cake, is it made of eggs?" What is so delicious about eggs. Is the egg tart a pagoda made of eggs? ”
Chen Yao can be regarded as having found something that Yingge doesn't understand, and said happily, "Ah, I know, there were red-haired people who came to visit my father in the past and sent me cookies, which were very fragrant and crispy." ”
"There is also a cream cake full of fruits, which is soft and glutinous and fragrant than steamed buns and does not stick to your teeth, and the cream as white as snow melts in your mouth, just like eating clouds." Chen Yao licked his tongue and said with an endless aftertaste, "I still want to eat it later, but I can't find anyone in Dongting County who can do it, and my godmother can do it!" I want to eat, my godmother will make it for me! ”
"I heard you yelling from afar, you've made so many dishes, and I can't stop your mouth, arguing about what else your godmother wants to eat?" Chen Xi suddenly walked out of the dining room and looked at Chen Yao, who was neither big nor small, with a disapproving expression.
When Chen Yao saw his father, his whole body stiffened, and he walked a little stiff with his hands and feet, and stepped forward to pull the corner of Liu Ruyue's clothes, and then said with a smile, "Dad, my godmother said that she would make a cake for the red-haired fan, I used to be noisy to eat, and you couldn't find anyone who would make it, so I wanted to ask my godmother to make a cake for me." ”
------Off topic------
Oranges were not elaborate, so I looked at them on the Internet and said that Laura Mason proposed in "Traditional Foods of Britain" that as early as the Middle Ages, the British had used milk, sugar, eggs and different spices to make food similar to egg tarts. It's just that it's quite different from the current egg tart, because there is no mold.
It is also said that the egg tart was also one of the dishes of the sixth banquet in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets in China in the 17th century.
Let's assume that this is the Song and Ming dynasties, and there is this egg tart.
The origin of cake is much earlier, and the word "cake" used in English appeared in England around the 13th century, derived from the Old Norse word "kaka". The original name of the cake was "sweet bread", and the first to make the cake in history were made by the Egyptians, as evidenced by the frescoes excavated in many mausoleums.
As for the sugar water, I think the ancients would definitely do it, but the poor have no sugar at home and can't afford to buy fruits from other places, so the sugar water in the average person's home is relatively simple, and it is not as rich as the resources of large households.
Oranges have a bad stomach, they can't eat biscuits and cookies, they will burn their stomachs and reflux acid, so they didn't know the difference between cookies and cookies before, and they thought they were the same. I checked it by Du Niang, and the easiest way to distinguish it is to make cookies made of butter and biscuits made of flour. I don't know if it's right or not. That's why we're talking about cookies and cookies separately in this chapter.
If there is anything wrong, just assume that Liu Ruyue is an ancient, and she only learned a little from the people invited by the head of the family in the previous life, and she knows a little bit! (Top pot lid escapes)
