Chapter 33: A New Kind of Dim Sum
It takes an hour.
During this period, Mu Ran ran to the cow he bought yesterday and got a small bucket of milk back.
Then start to heat the milk, put tea bags in it, remove the fishy smell of fresh milk, in order to make the taste better, and then add some rock sugar and honey.
In this way, the natural and uncontaminated milk is complete.
Then, Mu Ran began to boil white fungus eight-treasure porridge.
She cut off the yellow head of the white fungus that had been soaked in front of her and tore it into small pieces.
Then soak the red dates and wolfberries in warm water for a while, rinse well, and control the water.
Then put the soaked white fungus into the pot, add water and cook for a quarter of an hour.
After that, put the soaked white fungus, lotus seeds, lilies, peanuts, black beans, mung beans, red beans and prepared glutinous rice, black rice, brown rice, millet, barley, crushed corn and red dates into the pot.
Cook for a while, wait until it comes out of the pot, then add the wolfberries, stir for a while, and in this way, a pot of sticky white fungus eight-treasure porridge will come out of the pot.
Of course, after making this white fungus eight-treasure porridge, you have to eat it with two cold side dishes.
This is Mu Dyeing considering that the ancient people's eating method is a little different from her, or more traditional than better.
Therefore, Mu Ran ran then made two simple cold side dishes.
The first dish is hot and sour lotus root, and the main ingredients are lotus root and carrots.
First, peel the lotus root, cut it into thin strips, then pour water in the pot to boil, blanch the cut lotus root into the pot, and then cool the blanched lotus root and boil the water.
Cut the carrot into thin strips, cut the coriander into sections, then add two spoons of chili oil, put some white sesame seeds, an appropriate amount of salt, rice vinegar and sugar, stir well and serve.
The second dish is cold tofu shreds.
Ingredients: Carrots, coriander, chives, garlic cloves, shredded tofu, coriander, chives cut into inch pieces, carrots into shreds.
Then pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, stir-fry the peppercorns, remove the peppercorns, and make pepper oil.
Of course, you can make more at a time, including chili oil, which will always be used to make cold dishes in summer.
Garlic, pat into garlic puree, put it in a small bowl, add soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper oil, chili oil, and then put all the ingredients on a plate.
Pour the sauce into a small bowl, mix well and serve, it's very simple.
This completes the two side dishes with white fungus eight-treasure porridge, and the milk is also available.
The next step is to boil the boiled eggs for about a quarter of an hour.
Then put it on a plate, and then put the leftover sweet pears from yesterday into a lotus fruit platter.
At this point, everything that should be served is on the table.
Mu Ran ran ran but still didn't see his son Mu Jinyu and Nangong Chuli come back.
Thinking that I would have to go to the private school to find Mr. Tong to ask my son Mu Jinyu about studying, I felt that I would always feel a little embarrassed when I went empty-handed.
Therefore, Mu Dye took advantage of the time and decided to make a snack.
This snack is what she has always been good at, and its name is Milk Puff.
I saw her add milk, salt, sugar and oil to the sea bowl, whip it vigorously, and then boil it over medium heat.
Then turn the heat to low, add the sifted flour, stir quickly, then pour into a large bowl and set aside to dry.
When it is almost done, add the eggs in batches and stir thoroughly.
Until you lift the flowable sticky paste, then pour the puff paste onto the wrappers that have been laid out one by one.
At this time, Mu Jinyu and Nangong Chuli got up in the morning to practice martial arts and came back.
As soon as they came back, they saw that the breakfast had been set on the table, both large and small, and they all showed beautiful smiles.
When Mu Ran saw it, he smiled and said, "Son, you and your master should hurry up and wash your hands and faces, and then you can start eating." ”
"Got it, mother."
Mu Jinyu only showed the smile of a child when she saw the food.
When he saw the dim sum carved like a flower in Mu Ranran's hand, he came over curiously.
"Mother, what kind of snack is this? It looks delicious. ”
"It's called a milk puff, and we haven't done the final process yet. Mother is now giving this milk puff to the barbecue. As for you, don't stay here, watch out for the flames flying in your face, that's not good. ”
"Also, son, you go to your godfather's and godmother's house, and let their family come over for breakfast. My mother counted them all, and if they didn't come to eat, it would be wasted. ”
Mu Ran Ran instructed Mu Jinyu like this.
Mu Jinyu nodded and said, "Okay, mother, I'll go to my mother's house and ask them to come over for breakfast." ”
Mu Jinyu obediently went to the next door to call Li Chunmiao's family.
Mu Ran continued to be busy controlling the heat of the barbecue, and tried several times, but it still didn't feel like it was in place.
This milk puff is either over-grilled or not grilled enough.
Alas-
In ancient times, it was troublesome, if she was there, put it in the oven, adjust the temperature and time, it would be no problem.
But here, there is no such thing as an oven, and she can only do it manually.
It's just artificial, and she can't grasp the heat well, so she can only try more.
If you try it out, you should be able to make delicious snacks without an oven in the future.
Thinking of this, Mu Ran Ran became more and more patient to continue the experiment.
After a dozen trials, a small half of the milk puffs were wasted.
The last pot to get out of the pot finally succeeded.
The milk puffs out of the pot are all in place, and the patterns are perfectly presented according to her carved appearance, just like red and purple roses.
"It's such a beautiful dim sum, it looks delicious, I'll try one first."
Nangong Chuli, who was drinking white fungus eight-treasure porridge, reached over and wanted to take away a milk puff.
Mu Ran raised his hand and slapped Nangong Chuli's hand away.
"You are not allowed to eat this. I've been experimenting for a long time, and I've only succeeded in sixteen. I can't let you eat it anymore, this is what I plan to send to Mr. Tong as a meeting gift. If you eat it, the quantity will be insufficient, and it will be difficult to give it away. ”
Mu Ran said, and quickly put the milk puffs one by one in a delicate bamboo basket, and spread a layer of white gauze scarves on top.
turned around, and saw that Nangong Chuli was still staring at the milk puffs in her bamboo basket reluctantly, and pushed him out at the moment.
"Nangong Chuli, look, the breakfast I made is already hearty enough, I think it should be enough for you to eat. You, don't worry about the snacks in my basket anymore. ”
"But I don't think your basket of snacks is the best. Well, I won't eat much, so you can give me two tastes, how about it? ”
Nangong Chuli was still thinking about the milk puffs in the bamboo basket.
He'd never seen that snack before, and he'd never eaten it.
He's a gluttonous worm now, and he really wants to eat that snack.
"Otherwise, in this case, you can give one, or one." Let him satisfy his cravings.
Nangong Chuli was like that, so that Xiao Zhengtai Mu Jinyu on the side could see it.
Shaking his head, frowning, and sighing, the little guy went out with his hands behind his back.
He felt that if he stayed with this master any longer, he felt that his grade had dropped.
It was humiliating and humiliating.
And Nangong Chuli didn't notice Mu Jinyu's disdainful eyes at all.
He was all focused on this milk puff, thinking that Mu Dye could give him a taste.
And Mu Ran saw Nangong Chuli like this, although he was quite proud of his cooking skills.
But I'm making a copy right now, and it's too late.
The number of milk puffs is so small, you can't divide it out and eat a few.
So she shook her head and said, "No, if I give you one." Everyone here has to eat one, and once you count it, you, my son, Ah Ran, Sister Chun Miao, Brother Xilai, Dazhu, this child still has Nannan. ”
"If you do the math, it's going to take seven milk puffs to get it. There are only sixteen in that basket, and if seven are divided, there will be only nine left, and how will they give it away when the time comes. ”
"So, I really can't give you a taste this time, so I'll wait until after noon. At that time, I will calculate the time, it is time to come back from Mr. Tong's house, and then I will make more milk puffs and give you enough to eat, how about it? ”
Mu Ran said so, and Chu Fengci could only give up the milk puffs and continue to drink the white fungus eight-treasure porridge in the bowl.
To be honest, this porridge tastes excellent, better than the porridge he used to drink, and it is topped with sour and hot lotus root and cold tofu shreds.
It tastes sweet but not greasy, refreshing and delicious, which is really good.
Unconsciously, he drank two bowls of white fungus eight-treasure porridge, and also ate most of the hot and sour lotus root and cold tofu shreds.
It's boiled eggs and milk, and he doesn't even have the interest in touching them.
That Mu Ran was telling his son Mu Jinyu to eat the milk and boiled eggs, but he raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Chuli opposite.
She found that he had not touched the hard-boiled eggs and milk that had been given to him, but had kindly reminded him.
"Nangong Chuli, you can also eat a boiled egg and drink a glass of milk, so that you can eat it with it, and the nutrition can keep up."
"Hard-boiled eggs, they don't taste anything, so I don't want to eat them. I've drunk milk before, it's not good at all, it smells fishy, and I don't want to drink it even if it's nutritious. ”
Nangong Chuli replied without raising his head, but Mu Ran put the cup of milk into Nangong Chuli's hand.
"You drink first, and then you can talk about it after drinking."
Nangong Chuli glanced at the milk in his hand strangely.
Is there any difference in her milk?
Looking at her bright and translucent eyes, Nangong Chuli tasted it with questioning questions.
Hey? Why does this milk taste different than it used to?
It doesn't smell fishy, and it's very sweet.
Nangong Chuli, who was curious, immediately asked.
"Mrs. Mu, how do you make this milk? Why doesn't it smell fishy at all? ”
"It's very simple, when boiling milk, put two pieces of ginger slices, or put tea bags. Or, add some almonds and cook together. These are all things that can help get rid of the fishy smell of fresh milk. ”
"For the rest, according to personal taste, add some rock sugar and some honey, and the taste will be better. How do you drink it, do you think it tastes good? ”
