Chapter 54: Natural Coagulants
"I can do it!"
Seeing everyone's inquiring faces, Xu Kun casually explained: "The basic skills of fried rice are only. ”
"Won't that stick to the pan?"
A female staff member asked curiously: "When I fry rice, it will stick to the pan when I put oil, and when I fry it with water, isn't it easier for the rice to stick to the pan when it gets wet?" ”
"It's hard to explain."
Li Yi spread his hands: "I can only say that when the technology arrives at home, it will naturally not stick." ”
As he spoke, the waiter came from the back kitchen, accompanied by a fat chef.
The waiter came to the table and introduced: "This is our chef Ma Guanghuima, if you have any requests, you can tell him." ”
Master Ma came to the table, looked at the stars at the table, and asked suspiciously: "I heard the waiter say, do you want to eat fried rice?" I've been cooking all my life, and I've never heard of fried rice with water. ”
"My brother Yi will do it!"
Wu Lei jumped up directly, pressing Li Yi's shoulders with both hands, very proud.
“……”
Li Yi pushed his hand away, got up and asked Master Ma, "Can I borrow your kitchen?" ”
"Yes, you can."
Master Ma didn't say a word, nodded in agreement.
He also wanted to see how rice was fried with water.
"Thank you."
Li Yi thanked him and followed him in the direction of the kitchen.
"I'll check it out too!"
Wu Lei also followed.
Seeing this, Wu Kaiyuan asked a photographer on the table, "Did you bring the equipment?" ”
"Brought it."
The photographer understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and turned around and took out a hand-held gimbal from his backpack with an action camera mounted on it.
He pulled out a piece of paper, wiped his mouth, and followed.
The kitchen of Hu Da Restaurant is very large, and more than a dozen pots are stir-frying together.
The central air conditioner in the kitchen has been turned on to the maximum power, and it is still as hot as a steamer.
Master Ma took Li Yi to the innermost small pot and signaled: "This is the pot specially used to make fried rice in our store, and the rice cooker is rice, eggs are here, and green onions are here, you can use them as you like." ”
As he was talking, he saw Wu Lei and the photographer who came with him.
"Huh! How did you guys get in? ”
He raised his hand to stop him.
Seeing this, the photographer hurriedly explained: "Master, just shoot fried rice, we need material to record the show, don't worry, we won't shoot anything else." ”
Hearing him say this, Master Ma didn't stop him anymore, but just emphasized: "You stand inside, don't delay the serving." ”
When he came to the stove, Li Yi seemed to have returned to his main battlefield, calm and calm.
He picked up the wok and looked at it, shook his head and asked, "It's too oily, I have to wash it, is there dish soap?" ”
When Master Ma heard this, he hurriedly dissuaded: "You can't use dish soap, my specially raised pot is soaked in oil, don't you use dish soap to wash it for me?" ”
Professional chefs basically raise pots, and good woks usually have to be raised with oil, so that the more you use them, the more moisturizing they are, and the more they are used, the more non-sticky they are.
It is very time-consuming and expensive to raise a pot, and once the oil is washed with dish soap, the pot is wasted.
Li Yi knew that he was distressed, so he asked with a smile: "Do you have a new pot?" Of course, you can't use oil for water fried rice, and if you don't wash the oil, what's the difference between that and ordinary fried rice? ”
"Uh..."
Master Ma thought about it for a while, and then waved his hand: "Wash it!" I'll see how you fry rice with water! ”
"Don't worry, I'll raise you back after the frying."
Li Yi smiled and handed the pot to Wu Lei casually: "You go to wash, the cleaner you wash, the cleaner you eat." ”
"Okay!"
Wu Lei took the pot, went to the pool, and worked hard to clean it.
This rice is fried for him, and of course he has to work hard.
When he was free to wash the pot, Li Yi casually beat a few eggs, separated the yolk from the egg white, and then cut some chopped green onions.
Zila!
On the stove next to it, the sauce was put into the pot, and a burst of stimulating spicy air was filled, and the crayfish was immediately put into the pot and stir-fried by the master.
"Ahem!"
The videographer held the camera, covered his nose with one hand, and couldn't help coughing.
The taste of this kitchen is really exciting, and ordinary people really can't stand it.
Hearing the photographer's cough, Li Yi suddenly thought of something, and asked Master Ma, "Master Ma, do you have milk and almonds here?" ”
"Yes, do you want to use it in fried rice?"
Master Ma asked puzzled.
"It's not." Li Yi explained, "I only use egg yolk for fried rice, don't waste this egg white, I'll make something else." ”
"Oh, good."
Chef Ma motioned to a cook: "Go and get a carton of milk, and get some almonds and osmanthus sauce." ”
After speaking, he asked Li Yi, "What else do you want?" ”
"White sugar, and some frozen powder."
Li Yi asked for two more things.
Jelly powder is actually white jelly, and its main raw materials are natural raw materials such as jelly grass, rice, sweet potato, and peas.
It is generally used to make ice powder, fruit milk, cold powder and other foods, and is a natural coagulant.
The ice powder that people in Sichuan Province often eat is made of cold powder grass.
Master Ma thought for a while and asked, "There is no frozen powder, is it okay to have gelatin powder or agar?" ”
Gelatin and agar are also commonly used coagulants.
Food-grade gelatin is mostly extracted from pig skin, or from cowhide, cow bones, and fish.
That's why its scientific name is animal gel.
Gledin is often used in all kinds of desserts in Western food, such as mousse cake, egg tarts and other desserts.
Hearing this, Li Yi nodded and said, "Then agar!" ”
Agar, also known as agar, seaweed, stone flower maw, cold weather, its main materials unicorn and stone cauliflower, abundant in Hainan, is also a natural coagulant.
Agar and frozen powder are plant-based gels that are commonly used to make Chinese and Japanese snacks, such as almond tofu and amber sugar.
And what Li Yi wants to do is almond tofu.
Master Ma answered, and ordered the kitchen to get something for Li Yi.
Wu Lei was still immersed in washing the pot, and when Li Yi saw this, he first poured the milk into the basin, then put the egg whites in it, and whipped it with chopsticks.
The photographer filmed his movements and asked curiously, "What are you going to do here?" ”
"Almond tofu."
Li Yi explained casually, and his hands didn't stop.
"Almond tofu?" The photographer was puzzled: "Almonds can still be used to make tofu?" Do you still need to add milk? ”
"The main ingredients of almond tofu are almonds and milk."
Li Yi said, and poured the stirred milk into a clean soup pot.
Then, he took out the agar sent by Master Ma and soaked it in warm water.
"Brother Yi! All right! ”
Wu Lei ran back with the washed pot, and handed it to Li Yi as if offering a treasure: "Look! Wash it clean, right? ”
"Okay."
Li Yi took the pot, scooped half a pot of water, poured the almonds into it, and boiled it with boiling water.
The stove was so hot that it didn't take long for the water to boil and the almonds to cook.
Then, Li Yi asked Wu Lei to find a wall-breaking machine, put the boiled almonds in it, added some water, and turned on the machine to grind it into almond pulp.
"It smells so good!"
Wu Lei said with a smile: "I often eat almonds during the fat loss period, which is especially good for the stomach." ”
"You're thinking too much, it's not for you."
Li Yi raised his hand and pointed: "Go get some gauze." ”
"Okay!"
Wu Lei ran to find gauze.
The photographer took a picture of Wu Lei and secretly sighed.
This wants to let Wu Lei's fans see that their idols are commanded like little brothers, and they can't die of distress?
"Brother Yi! Gauze is coming! ”
Wu Lei didn't seem to care about this, but enjoyed it a little.
Seeing this, the photographer couldn't help but shake his head.
This kid seems to be really a little silly!
