Chapter 51: Pumpkin Pie
When Huang Jun came to the kitchen, Aunt Lin and Aunt Li were already busy as usual.
As usual, he changed into a chef's uniform, put on a hat, carefully put on his mask, and after disinfecting, he stepped into the operation room.
"Oops, Chef Huang is here!"
When Aunt Lin saw him, she greeted him warmly, and at the same time reported the progress of the work: "Chef Huang, I have already processed the pumpkin with Aunt Li, peeled it, cut it into thin thick slices according to your requirements, and has been steaming on the steaming drawer for a while. ”
"Okay."
Huang Jun nodded lightly and sincerely expressed his gratitude: "Thank you two for your hard work." ”
Aunt Lin laughed heartily and waved her hand: "It's all my own people, what do you say about hard work!" ”
Aunt Li also nodded happily and agreed: "Yes, they are all their own people, and it is too obvious to say this!" Chef Huang, don't be so polite in the future, otherwise I'll really be in a hurry with you! ”
"Good! Listen to you, I won't talk about it in the future!"
Huang Jun walked slowly to the steaming drawer.
The vapor is thick and gently swirling.
The sweet aroma of ripe pumpkin fills the air with white steam.
Observe for a moment.
He was sure that the time had come, so he gently opened the steaming drawer and looked...
The pumpkin slices in the pot are fully cooked and soft.
"Well, it's time to get out of the pot!"
He casually took out the pumpkins in the steaming drawer one by one with a tong, and gently put them aside along with the basin.
Then, he carefully poured out the pumpkin water that was about to overflow in the basin, and poured all the steamed pumpkins into a clean stainless steel basin.
He picked up the spoon and began to patiently mash the pumpkin into a delicate puree.
in the process.
He stirs constantly, striving for the best level of finesse.
Subsequently, he adds an appropriate amount of sugar to increase the sweetness.
Gently stir it with chopsticks to make the sugar blend perfectly with the pumpkin puree while also smoothing it out.
He added glutinous rice flour to the basin and kept stirring it until it became flocculent, and then he started to knead the pumpkin flour.
The process of kneading pumpkin noodles is actually very simple, there is no difficulty, and no special skills or techniques are required.
Just mix the glutinous rice flour with the pumpkin puree evenly.
Due to the large amount required, it takes a little time during the blending process to ensure that the glutinous rice flour is fully incorporated into the pumpkin puree.
Ultimately.
Huang Jun kneaded a large golden and attractive smooth and delicate pumpkin dough.
Then, he brought another bowl, added some flour to the bowl, poured some brown sugar into it, and added some white sesame seeds, and stirred well with a spoon.
Such a hearty sugar filling is ready!
"Chef Huang, what are you...?"
Seeing Huang Jun operating like this, Aunt Lin showed a curious look on her face and asked puzzled.
Aunt Li on the side observed carefully, and guessed tentatively: "Is it to make stuffing?" Huang Kitchen. ”
"Congratulations, Aunt Li, you're right!"
Huang Jun smiled slightly, and then explained, "I'm going to make pumpkin pie." ”
"All along, the pumpkin pie I ate was unintentional, but I didn't expect you to come up with this novel idea!" Aunt Li exclaimed.
"It's not my original idea, pumpkin pie has always existed, it's just not very common on the market."
Huang Jun explained with a smile, and then expressed his thoughts: "I want to make something different for the children, so that they can also feel the different taste of this pumpkin pie." ”
After Aunt Li and Aunt Lin heard this, they couldn't help but secretly praise Huang Jun's intentions.
Huang Jun looked at Aunt Lin and Aunt Li, and asked with a smile, "Aunt Lin, Aunt Li, you know how to make pumpkin pie, right?" ”
"Absolutely! I do it a lot at home. ”
The two of them said in unison, but they wondered what Huang Jun meant by asking, so they wondered, "Chef Huang, why are you asking this?" ”
Huang Jun explained, "I'd like to ask the two of you to help make the pumpkin pie together. ”
Although Aunt Lin and Aunt Li wanted to help, they were only familiar with ordinary pumpkin pie recipes and did not know much about the making of pumpkin pie.
They looked embarrassed: "But we won't be fluent!" ”
Huang Jun smiled and asked, "Do you know how to wrap up the cooking round?" ”
"Of course it will!"
Aunt Lin and Aunt Li replied without hesitation, with a proud and smug smile on their faces: "We are very good at this." ”
"That's good!"
Huang Jun nodded: "The wrapping method of this flowing pumpkin pie is actually the same as the wrapping method of wrapping the cooking round." ”
"That's right..."
Aunt Lin and the others felt that there was no problem at all, they were completely competent, so they nodded happily and said, "Then we will help you pack it together!" ”
All three washed their hands and began to make pumpkin pie.
Huang Jun quickly took out a small agent weighing about 50 grams from the dough and expertly kneaded it into a round ball.
Then, he inserts his thumb into the center of the ball and begins to gently rotate and pinch into a dimple.
Add a small spoonful of the mixed brown sugar and sesame filling, and slowly shrink the dough around it towards the center using the tiger's mouth technique.
Once the dough is perfectly sealed, he first forms it into a round ball, which he then gently presses to flatten.
In order to increase the crispiness of the pumpkin pie crust, Huang Jun gently dipped the finished pumpkin pie into a bowl of clear water, and then quickly put it into the breadcrumbs prepared in advance, so that it was evenly coated with a layer of breadcrumbs.
The whole process is done in one go!
And the mechanized operation made Aunt Li and Aunt Lin on the side only see Huang Jun's hands flying up and down on the dough.
This time.
I was completely stunned by Aunt Lin!
At the same time, Aunt Lin, who has decades of experience in making dim sum, also has to sigh that there is still a gap between her skills and Huang Jun.
It's better to sigh to yourself!
"Huang Chef, you are really powerful, this technique is really amazing, not a single superfluous action is not said,"
"Yes! The package is fast and good, and all my decades of cooking are in vain! ”
Huang Jun smiled modestly: "I've won the prize, in fact, it's the first time I've made this hearty pumpkin pie today, and I'm still groping, so I'm not very skilled..."
Do it so well and so quickly the first time?
Why are you embarrassed to let us veterans?
And also...
Do you call this "not very skilled"?
Aunt Lin and Aunt Li's eyes were full of surprise, they couldn't believe that Huang Jun was just making a pumpkin pie for the first time, and he could do it so well.
Compared with.
Their skills seem to be even more ... dwarfed.
"Huang Chef, Huang Chef, do you have any misunderstanding of the word "skillful"? Aunt Li said jokingly.
"Yes, yes!"
Aunt Lin nodded, thinking as she spoke, "Chef Huang, I seriously doubt your ...... What's the race? ”
"Is it Versailles?" Aunt Li thought about it and reminded.
"Yes, yes, it's Versailles!"
Aunt Lin nodded like pounding garlic: "I seriously suspect that Chef Huang is in Versailles, but unfortunately I don't have that...... That proof! ”
Hearing this, Huang Jun's face couldn't help but show a small expression of "I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense", and smiled at them helplessly, without explaining much.
It's useless to explain anyway!
He continued to bury his head in making pumpkin pie!
In just a few minutes, the stainless steel square plate was filled with golden pumpkin pie, each piece coated in crispy breadcrumbs.
Thinking of Xie Jianing's pleading, Huang Jun decided to fry some pumpkin pie first.
He quickly came to the stove, turned on the gas stove, set up a pot, and poured a large amount of oil into the pot.
Soon.
The fire gradually became stronger, the pot on the stove began to rattle slightly, and the oil temperature gradually increased.
Seeing that the oil temperature was almost up, he gently put one orange and yellow pumpkin pie into the hot oil pan.
After a short light frying, the pumpkin pie is soaked in oil and takes on a distinctive golden hue.
Under the blending of high temperatures.
The breadcrumbs gradually become crispy, making the whole pumpkin gnocchi even more golden and attractive.
The whole kitchen is filled with the smell of fried food...
Quietly spreading outward...
