Fresh meat mooncakes are a test of the maker's skills, because its process is a bit complicated.

First of all, to make the mooncake crust, you need to use two different kinds of dough; Secondly, to make the stuffing heart, you also need to do some special processing on the pork. If these are not done, what will come out of the pot can only be ordinary meat patties, and cannot be called fresh meat mooncakes.

This master is proficient, and the operation is very smooth, and people can't help but swallow their saliva when they see it.

Because the moon cake crust has a process of gluttony, the master will knead the dough first.

There are two types of dough, water-oiled dough and puff pastry.

In fact, the two types of dough are made in a similar way, and the basic ingredients are flour and lard. The difference is that puff pastry does not add water and other ingredients, while oily dough has a certain percentage of water and sugar added to it.

It took a lot of effort to knead the two doughs thoroughly, and they were not used immediately after kneading, so the master wrapped them separately with plastic wrap and threw them aside.

After a certain period of time, the combination of lard and flour will be more thorough, and the baked dough will taste better.

Of course, it is not just waiting empty-handed during this period.

Freshly thawed pork is cut into small pieces and then chopped with sauce.

In fact, this step is usually directly used with the meat sauce bought, but last night they made fried noodles for dinner, and that little reserve was just finished. And there are no tools such as meat grinders, so you can't use a coffee pot to make meat sauce, so you have to work your own.

The master has two knives in his hand, and when he opens the bow left and right, the knife light flies, and the original whole piece of fresh pork belly on the board gradually becomes a pile of meat sauce that looks very delicate.

The fat meat is completely mixed with the lean meat, and the oil is shiny, and the unique aroma of fresh meat is overflowing.

This shows that the master's knife work is really good, because if it is a random chop, then in the end, although you will get the meat sauce, the fragrance will be reduced, and it will definitely not be as fragrant as it is now.

In fact, all meats have this problem, if the direction of cutting is wrong or the angle of force is not right, the deliciousness of the final product will plummet.

But to grasp this subtle difference, it is not only necessary to have sufficient practice and experience, but also to have an innate sensitivity to ingredients, which is not something that everyone can do.

Put the minced meat in a bowl, add cooking wine, light soy sauce, salt, sugar, chopped green onion and ginger, chopped sesame seeds, a little pepper, add a little honey and starch, and then insert a manual whisk with a thick head, and stir vigorously in one direction.

This step is crucial, if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to hold on to stirring for a long time, then the meat filling will have a bad taste after the final product, because it will appear loose and chewy.

The master is obviously a person who is used to it, and he stirred it for more than twenty minutes without a break, and the two dogs Pan Xiang looked a little straight.

Ergou asked himself that he might not be able to do it, because the situation of the meat filling is very tough, and the resistance on the whisk is definitely not small!

In particular, in order to ensure the rich and restrained taste of the soup in the meat filling of the finished mooncakes, honey and starch are added here. These are all materials that will help the minced meat absorb moisture, and the meat filling will become more and more sticky as the mixing time gets longer and longer.

Stickiness and toughness, even if he doesn't need to do it, Ergou feels that his arms are sore when he looks at it!

Pan Xiang felt that the skill of being able to do this kind of boring work in one breath without taking his eyes off the meat pot for a quarter of an hour was very powerful, if it was replaced by him, it was estimated that his attention would be transferred in about five minutes!

It took about half an hour before the master put down the basin.

At this time, the meat filling was thick enough to stick the chopsticks in it without pouring it down, so he was more satisfied with the filling, took out the dough that had been stored in the refrigerator before, and threw the freshly stirred meat filling into it.

The refrigerator is a small Xiaoice box about the size of a microwave oven placed on the counter, and it is also suitable for two replacements.

The dough is not very long because it has been refrigerated, but it is only slightly icy. With the naked eye alone, like Ergou, I can't see any difference between the dough and when I put it in.

However, the master obviously knew the difference, took it in his hand and weighed it, his face was quite satisfied, and then he untied the plastic wrap on it and began to make the medicine.

Although there are two kinds of dough, it is not necessary to make two layers of dough, in fact, the two types of dough are finally kneaded together.

First, take the puff pastry, knead it into long strips, then cut it into equal sizes, knead it round and set aside;

Then take the dough with water and oil, knead the long strips and cut the dough. This time, the agent is directly flattened and slightly rolled out, wrapped in a puff pastry dough agent, and continued to roll it out after kneading.

This step is actually to make the dough crispy, so be sure to let the puff pastry fully blend into the dough.

For this purpose, the synthetic agent is rolled out into long strips, rolled into long flakes and rolled up, and then continues to repeat the steps of rolling out and rolling. The more this step is repeated, the better the final dough will taste.

The flour itself has a grain fragrance, and the taste is more obvious when lard is added.

In addition, white sugar is added to the dough with oily skin, and the faint fragrance is mixed with a shallow sweetness, as well as the fragrance of the oil, and the second dog's stomach finally succeeded in making a "gurgling".

There was no one in the room to speak at this time, and this sound was quite obvious, and suddenly even the eyes of the guards outside the door fell on Ergou.

Even if he is as thick-skinned as him, after perceiving that the guards are full of "it turns out that this guy is really hungry and didn't mean to spill", he rarely has the urge to cover his face.

But hunger is not something he can control, and the more embarrassed he feels, the more uninvited the gurgling sounds, and they get louder and louder.

In the end, the master was helpless: "If you stay up for a while, who told Nong to eat this!" ”

Pan Xiang had been worried about Qi Jue, but at this time, he was successfully diverted by Ergou, looked at him with disgust, and then suddenly found that he seemed to be hungry.

Fortunately, the master master was quick and the dough was ready, so he took out the stuffing and started to wrap it.

At this point, there is basically no much skill, it is purely a reflection of patience and aesthetics.

If you just put it on, just pinch a flat cake shape and sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top to brush a layer of egg liquid, and the final product looks like a meat pancake, he can also say that it is a fresh meat mooncake.

Fortunately, this master chef still made serious fresh meat mooncakes, and the dough wrapped in the filling was slightly flattened after being rolled round, and then he slightly pinched the dough out of the wall.

At this time, even if it is still raw, it already has a little bit of a mooncake feeling.

After that, you can bake it in the oven, or you can use a frying pan with oil and fry it like a raw frying.

They made a temporary preparation on the spot, and the master only took a huge frying pan, brushed the bottom with oil, and then put the dough cakes into it one by one, covered the lid and fried it.

The lid was very well sealed, and it wasn't until the master lifted the lid for the first time that the fragrance could come out.

Now it's not only Ergou and Pan Xiang, but even the guys guarding the door outside have some straight eyes: It's really fragrant!

The old man, the leader of the guards at the door, suddenly realized, where is this preferential treatment of prisoners, this is obviously the head of the house himself is also greedy, right?!

This thought quietly rose in the hearts of all the guards when a pot of mooncakes finally came out of the pot, and at the same time, "Can I also share a share?" "Little wishes.

No way, it's so fragrant.

The unique aroma of flour food will become more fragrant after being fried at high temperature, and the fragrance is attractive.

Coupled with the fact that the master's craftsmanship is quite authentic, the baking time of this pot of moon cakes is just right. The layer of oil on the bottom of the pan just seeped into the crust, but it was not over-baked to cause the crust to be hard, dry and bitter, and the aroma of the oil surface was stimulated to 12 points of perfection.

Pick one up, and the seducer can completely ignore the temperature of the hot mouth and bite it down.

Because the crust is very thin, the upper and lower sides are relatively crispy, but the surrounding "wall" is full of toughness and has the unique powdery texture of the dough.

And that's not all.

A thin dough means that the filling in the middle is big.

This is not the kind of parallel bun that can't bite the meat in three bites, this is a big mouthful of meat that is full in one bite.

And this meat filling is stirred sufficiently, the elasticity is very good, and it is smooth and juicy. Bite into the mouth, with the thin layer of dough on the outside, the gravy mixed with the aroma of the dough, in the eyes of a group of people who start to gurt one after another, there is really nothing more delicious than this.

The second dog took the first one, swallowed it in three or two bites, stuck out his tongue hotly, but his hand quickly grabbed a pile of plates in front of him.

And he not only eats it himself, but also thinks about his companions: "Let's send some to the little Qi Ye and the little mouse!" ”

He'd wanted to break into the inner room for a long time, and what a good excuse to do so!

It's a pity that Ru Shunying gave a death order to take care of them, even if he worked hard, the other party didn't give him a chance to succeed.

The two guards were still holding a piece of moon cake in their mouths, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed straight at Ergou.

And one of them was also very "considerate", reaching out and taking the plate in Ergou's hand: "We'll help you get it in, you just wait here, don't run around." ”

Ergou stared at him and stared at him, but the man didn't steal anything to eat, so he really brought the plate in.

Ru Shunying didn't stay next to Hao Dong and Ru Shunhua, leaving only the old man staring.

The old man saw his soldiers come in with a plate of fresh meat mooncakes, and he couldn't figure out which one it was for a while, so he watched the kid leave the plate and turn around and go out again.

Qi Jue naturally didn't have the heart to eat moon cakes at this time, the old man thought about it, and simply took one and ate it himself.

It's just that what he didn't expect at all was that the fragrance of the meat mooncake got into Hao Dong's nose, and it actually played a huge role in promoting the hallucination that he had been lingering!
