"No one can stop the Rose Knights, because they are the embodiment of justice, and they can even go shopping in place of justice!"

- Frontispiece to the eighth volume of The Knight of the Rose

The first naturally advanced to the quarterfinals, and this result did not surprise anyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now it is finally Li Gongzhe's turn, Li Gongzhe's opponent is a top chef from the Osside continent, he was originally the chef of a famous restaurant in the Gangis Empire, admired by the locals and has many disciples, he came to the food island about ten years ago to practice, and has been practicing until now.

"Hey, I'm afraid the old man will lose again this time, reaching the top 16 three times and stopping at the top 16 three times. ”

The top chef was not young, probably close to sixty years old, but he was very well maintained, still with full black hair, and looked very good. This guy was quite unconfident when he saw Li Gongzhe, and he was very pessimistic.

"Looks like you're not confident, how can you make top-notch food if you're not confident? ”

Li Gongzhe cheered for the other party with a big grin, and when he heard Li Gongzhe say this, the person who claimed to be an old man also laughed, and he said to Li Gongzhe: "Okay, I will do my best to fight with you, well, they make stews and stir-fried vegetables or something, this time the two of us will compare pastries." ”

"Pastry?"

Li Gongzhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "I'm very good at making pastries, if you lose too thoroughly, don't cry." ”

The old man also snorted involuntarily, this Li Gongzhe is really too arrogant.

However, Li Gongzhe is really sure of it this time, and noodles have always been valued in Chinese food culture, and Li Gongzhe is naturally quite proficient.

Pastry is a major component of Chinese cooking, known for its long history, exquisite preparation, rich variety and variety of flavors. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, grain items have wheat, rice, soybean, millet, millet, millet, **, etc., and have been called five grains, nine grains, and one hundred grains. Among them, wheat is divided into barley and wheat, and there are many varieties of millet, millet and rice. Grain processing technology has developed from pestle mortars, stone grinding pots, rods, mills, etc., to stone mills. With the production of oil, seasoning, and the use of bronze cooking utensils, fried and steamed pastries appeared. Bronze cookware, similar to a frying pan, can be used to bake pastries. Since then, with the improvement of cooking utensils and stoves, the raw materials, preparation methods and varieties of Chinese pastry snacks have become increasingly rich. There are many popular snacks. For example, dumplings, noodles, ramen, pancakes, glutinous rice balls in the north, and siu mai, spring rolls, zongzi, round nights, steamed buns in the south. In addition, many places have evolved according to their products and folk customs

Judging from the meaning of the word "pastry", it is generally believed that it is a food prepared from powdered grains (mainly flour, rice flour, etc.) as raw materials to temporarily satisfy hunger. In the south, it is commonly referred to as "dim sum", while in the north it is customarily called "pasta", which is usually made in artisanal workshops and is generally not used as a staple food for meals, but is mostly eaten in the morning, afternoon or evening. From the perspective of the form of supply, it refers to the convenience food (including breakfast, snacks and sums) provided by the catering industry.

With the change of people's dining form, the increase of raw materials, the use of machinery and equipment, and the improvement of pastry technology, the scope of pastry in China has become more and more extensive, and pastry has become a kind of food, which is based on grain, fruits, fish, shrimp and root vegetables, etc., with kneading techniques as the main means, and the use of stuffing and seasonings to combine and then cook into a food with good color, aroma, taste and shape.

In addition to the varieties supplied by the traditional food industry, this kind of food also includes the pastries produced by the pastry food factory, which can be used as a meal food for people to enjoy, and can also be used as snacks and snacks to adjust the taste; not only as food to provide people with material satisfaction, but also as a work of art to give people spiritual enjoyment.

Of course, what kind of spiritual enjoyment, artwork or something is actually just nonsense, hahahahaha, this kind of nonsense is just to properly improve the quality of the pastry chefs.

Li Gongzhe laughed out loud and said to the other party: "You shouldn't know what siu mai is, this time I'll use siu mai to defeat you." ”

What is that, the old chef couldn't help frowning, he had never heard of that kind of pastry called siu mai.

But it can't be so much, the old chef decided to make steamed buns, and he wants to use steamed buns to compete for the winner.

Li Gongzhe came to look for the raw materials he needed, and soon he found them, and he also brought his own if he didn't have them here.

Siu mai is also known as siu mai, slightly beautiful (Inner Mongolia writing), Xiao rice, slightly wheat, slightly plum, roasted plum, ghost unkempt, is to describe the shape of the top fluffy bunch folded like a flower, is a kind of hot noodles as the skin for the stuffing on the basket steamed snacks. The shape is like a pomegranate, white and crystalline, the filling is thin and thin, fragrant and delicious. It is fragrant and delicious, and has the advantages of xiaolongbao and pot stickers, and is often used as a banquet delicacy among the people. Born and raised in China, it has a long history. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it originated in the western region of Inner Mongolia, and then spread to Beijing and Tianjin to be called siu mai, and then to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Guangxi, where people called it siu mai.

What Li Gongzhe is going to do this time is the so-called Shanghai siu mai.

Glutinous rice, shiitake mushrooms, minced meat, siu mai skin.

Soy sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, green onion.

He first soaked the glutinous rice, and then boiled a large pot of glutinous rice; seasoned the minced meat, and stir-fried it in an oil pot; cut the mushrooms into cubes and stir-fried them in the oil pot; put the glutinous rice, minced meat, and shiitake mushrooms into the oil pot together, and stir-fried them with soy sauce, salt, and monosodium glutamate until the color was uniform; after the mixed glutinous rice cooled slightly, take out an appropriate amount and knead them into small balls; wrap the glutinous rice dough in the siu mai skin and knead them into shape; put them into the steamer to steam, and only need to wait for more than ten minutes.

The old chef picked out about one kilogram of flour, an appropriate amount of baking powder, 750 grams of minced meat, an appropriate amount of vegetables, 50 grams of vegetable oil, a little sesame oil, an appropriate amount of chicken essence, and a steamer with a rather strange shape. These are the ingredients and kitchen utensils he needs, and these things are enough for him to make his top buns.

Steamed buns are a kind of food made by adding flour to water, sugar, etc., adding meat, vegetables, bean paste and other fillings during production, and steaming through a steamer after fermentation, and the finished product is hemispherical in shape. In the Jiangnan region of the earth, steamed buns are actually generally called steamed buns.

The steamed bun vs. the roasted wheat reminded Li Gongzhe of one of the few animes he had watched completely, that is, the Chinese little master.

"Oh yes, what should I do, remember that in that competition, it was the big universe bun of the little master who defeated the golden ratio of the roasted wheat, it seems that this time I chose the roasted wheat is really a little bad. ”

Well, but it doesn't look like the old man on the other side doesn't look like the main character...
