198. Fried fritters
Feng Hao really didn't want to learn what pickles, he was very low when he heard it, and what kind of pickles did he pick up in the morning...
But it's not good to refuse Wang Lei at this time, after all, people have the heart to teach him, so they can't let him stick a hot face to a cold ass.
had to follow Wang Lei to the kitchen.
He originally thought he was here to look forward to life, but he didn't expect to come to feel the firewood...
These days, I have been nesting in the kitchen every day, and I really feel like a cook.
I don't know if I thought this show was sponsored by New Oriental.
Wang Lei: "When you went out to get fish yesterday, I already pickled some garlic. This garlic method is sweet garlic in the traditional sense, and there is nothing special about the method, you can search for it on the Internet. ”
Feng Hao had no choice but to say: "Master, I think you just don't want me to learn this when you say this, no matter what you say, the master will leave a hand and not teach it to the apprentice." ”
Wang Lei said angrily: "Do you learn or not?" ”
Feng Hao looked at Wang Lei's increasingly dangerous eyes, and hurriedly changed his words, "Learn, learn, I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
Wang Lei: "You just started learning, I'll teach you something simpler, and I'll teach you this pickled cucumber today." ”
"There are two ways to eat this pickled cucumber, one is that it can be eaten raw directly, Wang Lei took a bite as he spoke, and the bite was crunchy.
Another way is to take it out every once in a while and add some side dishes, such as peanuts, spinach, etc. ”
"Let's make two servings today, one is to eat on the spot, and the other is to eat in a few days, wait for you to taste the difference between these two tastes in a few days, and then tell me."
Feng Hao looked at Wang Lei, skillfully cleaned the cucumbers, and then put some seasonings.
"Master, I think this is a fraud of yours, I will go to the anti-fraud app to see if it is a mysterious scam."
Wang Lei glanced at him: "You kid talks a lot, you deserve to be a talk show actor, your mouth is really broken." ”
"The seasonings I put now, and you pay attention to the proportion I put are the most important thing in this pickle, but we are not doing scientific experiments after all, so you can't take a scale to weigh each thing, and how much proportion is put in it, so this thing can only depend on the personal feel, practice makes perfect."
Feng Hao watched Wang Lei's movements and memorized all the key points he said in his left ear.
Because, the left ear is in, the right ear is out...
He remembers these dry hairs!
Do you rely on pickles to soak sweet and Xiaoxiao? Or go to Wei Qiutong?
Wang Lei was still talking to himself: "Just remember, I'll let you make this dish tomorrow morning, and then I'll taste it and see how you do, what things are put too much, those things are put less, do it a few more times, and you can make it." ”
Feng Hao nodded helplessly: "Okay, leave it to me tomorrow morning." ”
I also made up my mind at the moment, and next time I must see what variety show it is.
It's a lot of money, but what is it all about?
Spending more than 1 million is to hire a cook...
After processing the cucumbers, they simmered some more oatmeal this morning.
"This morning, let's fry some more fritters, this is also my unique secret."
Seeing that Feng Hao didn't believe it, Wang Lei frowned: "Don't think I'm selling myself and boasting, there are still some differences between the fritters I make and other people's fritters." For example, the kind of fritters you see on the street, I make them crispier than theirs, and our raw materials and oil are safer and more reassuring than theirs. ”
Feng Hao: "It's just that we don't use gutter oil, right?" ”
Wang Lei looked at Feng Hao helplessly, this mouth was too poisonous.
Fritters are an extremely common food in breakfast, but Feng Hao originally thought that frying fritters was very simple, just put them in oil and fry them.
But looking at Wang Lei's operation, this is not the case at all.
"Among the many homemade churros recipes, we gave up the ingredients such as water, yeast, and eggs today, and there were no bells and whistles to knead and rest the dough. With only the simplest ingredients, coupled with the simplest kneading and production process, even if you are a novice in the kitchen, I believe you will definitely be able to fry great fritters. ”
Speaking of fried fritters, we have to mention alum, most of the general fritters will add alum to use as a foaming agent, and this also gives many people the impression that alum is used to fry fritters, but it is unhealthy for people.
Therefore, baking powder and baking soda are generally used to replace alum for fried fritters at home.
However, the main raw material of ordinary baking powder is alum, so the kind of aluminum-free baking powder is generally used, as well as baking powder and baking soda are generally valid for about 3 months. ”
"Wow, master, you know too much."
Feng Hao didn't expect that there would be so many ways to fry a fritter.
Wang Lei: "To make flour-related food, if you need abundant air to enter the food, there are generally the following methods, such as using yeast, which can produce carbon dioxide; or all with the help of water vapor to produce gases; Then there is the use of two chemical agents, baking soda and baking powder.
But most chemical agents produce gases, which are achieved by reacting with acids and bases.
The difference between baking soda and baking powder is that baking soda does not need to be heated to produce a reaction that releases carbon dioxide, so when using baking soda, it needs to be sent to the oven for baking as soon as possible to avoid its function becoming ineffective. Of course, baking soda can be used not only for baking, but also for cleaning the oven.
Baking powder belongs to the double-effect type of powder, its main ingredients are baking soda and tartar powder, in the dry powder state, the acid and alkali two substances are in an inert state, only after adding liquid, the two will begin to react to produce gas.
Baking powder reaction after mixing with liquid is only its first gas, its most important property is that after the temperature exceeds 50 °C, it will start a secondary reaction and release gas, so in many recipes, this property of baking powder will be used to make a different food. ”
Saying that, Feng Hao had already configured a list of materials needed by Wang Lei.
All-purpose flour ×
350 grams
Whole milk ×
250g (ice)
Aluminum-free baking powder ×
10 grams
Baking soda ×
3 grams
Salt ×
6 grams
Edible oil ×
12 grams
Wang Lei: "Do you know why we use all-purpose flour instead of high-gluten flour? ”
Feng Hao shook his head, he didn't know what kind of flour had high gluten and medium gluten....
Wang Lei said: "Since we use milk instead of water to mix the noodles, it is not recommended to use high-gluten flour, which will have the effect of overexerting some force and make the gluten of the fritters too large."
The reason why whole milk is used is because in addition to hydrating the flour, milk contains protein that makes the dough more gluten and soft, which is why milk bread is fluffier than ordinary bread.
Aluminum-free baking powder told you before, most of the general aluminum-free baking powder is a double-effect attribute, here we mainly need its secondary effect, and the amount of baking soda is too much to have a bad taste, so baking powder is necessary in some cases.
Baking soda is different from baking powder, it does not need to be heated to produce gas, only acidic substances will start to neutralize, which is good, but baking soda will have a soapy taste, so be sure to master the amount when using it. ”
Since the milk has already been refrigerated, Wang Lei will directly add baking powder and baking soda to the milk, and mix the two with ice milk evenly.
Wang Lei explained: "The reason for using milk instead of water, in addition to making the fritters have a fat flavor, the protein in milk is a very good catalyst for increasing the gluten of the dough, so that the role of yeast can be saved.
Wang Lei then poured all-purpose flour, salt, cooking oil and iced milk mixed with baking powder and baking soda into the flour, and used a stirring stick to stir the flour until it was a large lump.
Then knead the flour by hand to a smooth state on the inside of the basin, and the dough does not need to be kneaded to a smooth surface, and it doesn't matter much if it is rough. ”
At this time, Wang Lei also asked Feng Hao to try it, and he felt like rubbing his face.
"Master, don't you think this kneading feel is a little weird."
Wang Lei is a little strange, what can be strange about kneading dough?
Feng Hao raised his eyebrows at Wang Lei, "You see that this feels like a certain part of the human body." ”
Wang Lei glared at him angrily: "Go aside, what are you thinking about in the early morning!" ”
Then Feng Hao divided the kneaded dough into two parts according to Wang Lei's instructions, and rolled it out until it was roughly flat with the help of a rolling pin.
Wang Lei then poured enough cooking oil into the pot and began to heat it to the point where many small bubbles would immediately appear on the chopsticks when he put them in.
Wang Lei used a knife to cut the noodles into about 1 finger and a half wide strips, then stacked the two wide strips together, pressed them on top with chopsticks, and then used chopsticks to press the two ends of the wide strips hard.
Feng Hao couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Wang Lei cutting so carefully.
Wang Lei said: "When cutting the wide strips of fritters, don't cut them too wide or too narrow, which is not conducive to the expansion and formation of fritters after being heated in the oil, and it is not easy to fry beautiful fritters, the pots at home are small, so under normal circumstances, the wide strips are about 1.5 fingers - 2 fingers wide, and then wide will become fried dough cakes, too narrow like noodles." ”
Wow, it's so particular to cut a fritter...
Wang Lei then pulled the pressed fritter embryo to about the same length as the oil pan by hand, slowly went down into the oil pan, and used chopsticks to keep turning the fritters in the pan, and then fried until the surface was golden brown.
Wang Lei advised: "The oil temperature of fried fritters is very high, so after the fritters are put into the pot, it is necessary to let it be in a state of constant turning, so that the oil temperature can be evenly heated on its body, especially after it floats, it may be overfried in 1 or 2 seconds and become mushy." ”
In the end, it took the master and apprentice more than an hour to make breakfast for the eight people.
Feng Hao was already too tired to sweat a lot.
I was going to get up early to breathe in the fresh air of the village, but I didn't expect to be caught in the kitchen again.
"That's it for today, and I'll teach you how to make tea eggs tomorrow." Wang Lei obviously hasn't gotten up so early for a long time, and his clothes are soaked with sweat.
Feng Hao wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Master, I think I'll follow you, let's go to a magic capital community to open a breakfast shop, and we can make a lot of money this year." ”
Wang Lei said earnestly: "This is all the accumulation brought by life, life has to experience all kinds of things, especially as a man, you must cook well, because cooking can catch a woman's stomach, and if you catch a woman's stomach, you can capture his heart." ”
After all the breakfast was served on the table, the sleepy-eyed four guests also came to the restaurant one after another.
However, the first time these people participated in this kind of life variety show, they didn't realize that the camera recorded everything at all, and they were still in a daze at the moment, and they didn't take care of themselves at all.
However, I have to say that the foundation of these female stars is really good, even without makeup, they can kill passers-by in seconds.
He Jiong always smiled: "How is it, did everyone sleep well last night?" ”
Yang Mi nodded: "I brought my own quilt cover and pillow, and I feel no different from home." ”
Hu Ge stretched: "I thought I wouldn't be used to sleeping on tatami mats, but I didn't expect it to be quite comfortable, and I will get one at home when the time comes." ”
Tang Yan: "I'm not used to it, I just feel that I suddenly sleep in a low bed, which is a little uncomfortable, but the living environment here is much better than in the crew back then." ”
Wang Lei said: "A few of you just got up, and you didn't even get your hair, and you all wore your hair out. ”
Tang Yan covered her mouth and yawned: "To be honest, I haven't fully woken up yet, I usually prefer to lie in bed, I slept with Sister Mi last night, and I felt unusually steady, so I felt very good sleep, and I almost didn't get up this morning." ”
Yang Mi leaned on Tang Yan and raised her eyebrows: "Indeed, I also feel that if there are many people, I sleep very soundly, this is the most comfortable night I have slept in so long." ”
"Wow!" Tang Yan suddenly noticed the rich delicacies on the table: "Is this breakfast also from Teacher Wang's hand?" It's just so blissful that we can have breakfast together. ”
Wang Lei waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I praised it for a day yesterday, don't praise it anymore." I think you have to take some real action, and if you say that you don't have real action, you won't be able to see anything if you just boast. ”
He Jiong also said, "You need to go to the field to pick some things today, if you want to thank Mr. Wang, pick more." ”
Tang Yan spread her hands: "This... I just want to sigh, how did you get on this thief ship? ”
"Hahahaha!"
He Jiong: "You can't talk to Teacher Wang casually, it's easy to be calculated." ”
