Chapter 182: Teaching Potstickers (2/5)
At four o'clock in the morning, Feng Yifan had already woken up, because he had agreed with Lin Ruifeng today that he was going to teach him how to make potstickers next door, so he had to get up earlier.
Gently pull her hand from under her body, then get up very lightly, and cover her with the quilt.
When he was about to go out, Feng Yifan still heard his wife's voice: "Don't call Ruoruo, it's too early." ”
Knowing that his wife was still awakened by herself, Feng Yifan turned around and returned to the bedside, leaned into his wife's ear and whispered: "Okay, I know, you sleep for a while, I'll wait over there to do the same, come over at six o'clock and call Ruoruo." ”
After listening to her husband's words, Su Ruoxi answered in a daze, then turned her head and went back to sleep.
Feng Yifan lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead before leaving the room lightly.
Closing the door and passing by the door of his mother's room, Feng Yifan still quietly listened to the movement inside. After making sure that the room was quiet, indicating that his daughter hadn't gotten up, Feng Yifan hurriedly tiptoed downstairs.
After freshening up downstairs and getting dressed, Feng Yifan went out from the back door of the kitchen and came to the back door next door to shop early.
knocked on the door gently, and after a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Lin Ruifeng had obviously been waiting for a long time.
The two of them entered the door one after the other, and Feng Yifan saw that the old couple of the Lin family were already busy. This is also what most people who do early will experience every day, and they have to get up very early to prepare for it.
Seeing Feng Yifan coming, Father Lin immediately smiled and said, "Yifan is here, thank you really for Yifan, for teaching Ruifeng so many things." ”
Lin Mu also continued: "Yes, that miscellaneous soy milk, many people like it, thank you Yifan for being so generous and teaching us such a precious secret recipe." ”
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, aunt, don't be polite, it's not a secret recipe, it's just a little trick." ”
Father Lin then asked, "I heard Ruifeng say that you are going to come over today to teach him how to make potstickers?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, I remember that Uncle Lin's family also made potstickers in the past, why didn't you do it later?"
Mother Lin said helplessly: "We have been doing it for a short time, mainly because the taste of it is not good, and there are not many people who buy it, and then we will not do it slowly." ”
Father Lin also said: "Yes, the craftsmanship is not good, the potstickers made are a little hard, and everyone doesn't like to eat them very much." ”
Lin Ruifeng also said boldly at this time: "The potstickers that my parents made before have a slightly hard skin, and the filling is not good for seasoning, I didn't like to eat them before, let alone sell them." ”
Feng Yifan nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll teach you the whole process today, and then I'll come over every morning, uncle and aunt don't know anything, just ask me." ”
Hearing this, the two old men of the Lin family looked at each other, and they both felt that it was too troublesome for Feng Yifan.
Father Lin spoke first: "This is too troublesome for you, Yifan, how embarrassing are you to make us old couple like this." ”
Mother Lin also continued: "Yes, Ruifeng just worshipped the teacher, and you haven't studied for a few days, so you always come to help us, I really don't know how to thank you." ”
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, everyone is a neighbor, and when I didn't come back, my father-in-law was also thanks to your help, plus now Ruifeng is my apprentice, it's nothing for me to help you." ”
The two old men of the Lin family looked at each other, they really didn't know what to say?
In fact, Feng Yifan helped the Lin family like this, mainly in the memory of his previous life, the Lin family helped his wife a lot in the first time after the accident in his father-in-law's restaurant. Even before Feng Yifan's parents did not come to pick up their daughter-in-law, Lin Ruifeng's mother took care of Su Ruoxi in the hospital for a long time.
In his previous life, Feng Yifan also found the Lin family, hoping to help the Lin family as a gratitude.
However, at that time, Lin Ruifeng was let go because no one cared about him, and he had become a complete street bastard.
Even though the two old men of the Lin family were later picked up by the eldest daughter, the younger son still made them feel sad.
So in this life, when he saw Lin Ruifeng's excesses that morning, Feng Yifan decided to help the Lin family well and guide Lin Ruifeng to the right path after stopping him.
Feng Yifan was not ambiguous, he started teaching directly, and he told all the details and skills he had mastered.
From mixing noodles, to the mixing of fillings, to how to fry pot stickers, when to add water starch, and when to add oil for the second time, all of them are very detailed to the Lin family.
And the old couple of the Lin family, listening to Feng Yifan's explanation and watching his skillful production, were also a little surprised by his craftsmanship.
"Uncle, aunt, and Ruifeng, you must remember that the noodles must be half hot, add half of the boiling water, half of the cold water, stir them into cotton wool separately, and then mix them together. ”
Seeing Feng Yifan's skillful technique, Father Lin was also a little surprised and said, "So that's the case, no wonder we don't make good skin." ”
Then, before mixing the filling, Feng Yifan made a special preparation.
"Uncle, aunt, Ruifeng, I will teach you two different fillings, one is pork, shrimp and corn, and the other is beef filling. ”
Next, Feng Yifan also explained carefully, and told the Lin family about the two kinds of oil without any reservations.
For pork and shrimp corn filling, you need to use green onion and ginger oil, and in addition to green onion and ginger, you also need to add some onions to fry together.
"Remember, don't use high heat, fry slowly over low heat until the flavor comes out. ”
The beef filling is to add cooking oil, which is fried in an oil pan mixed with "cumin, bay leaves, fragrant fruit" and other ingredients.
"Before this spice is fried, you must soak it in water, so as to ensure that you will not fry the hu when frying, otherwise the fried hu will be burnt, and there will be a bitter taste in the oil. ”
It can be said that Feng Yifan really told the Lin family every detail very carefully and carefully.
When the oil is ready, the process of mixing the filling is relatively simple, and it is not much different from most of the filling of steamed dumplings. But when the oil is filtered and added, the flavor of the filling is greatly improved.
The Lin family was also prepared, took out the frying pan that had made potstickers before, and then watched Feng Yifan do it together.
When packing, Feng Yifan just kneaded the top opening, but there was a small opening on both sides, and he did not completely seal the pot sticker opening.
"In this way, leave a small opening on each side, so that the water vapor can volatilize slightly when frying, so that the filling can be steamed. ”
The potstickers were wrapped one by one, and the Lin family also worked together.
If you want to talk about rolling skin and bag potstickers, this kung fu Lin family is still very good, after all, Lin Ruifeng's parents have also done it early for many years, and they are still very skilled in rolling skin and bags, but Lin Ruifeng seems a little clumsy.
Father Lin saw that his son was still a little clumsy, and he also shook his head helplessly: "You, it's all because your mother used to spoil you too much, and now you can't even make potstickers so simply." ”
Hearing his father's words, Lin Ruifeng also lowered his head unconsciously, obviously feeling very lost.
Feng Yifan hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin, don't always say this about Ruifeng, he is working hard now, I believe that he has studied hard, and he will definitely do better and better in the future." ”
When Mother Lin heard Feng Yifan say this, she also nodded and said, "That's it, you, an old man, are not as patient as Yifan." ”
After wrapping the pot stickers and starting to fry them, Feng Yifan also gave detailed instructions on the fire and how far it was fried.
And when he covered the pot and fried, Feng Yifan also mixed a basin of starch water: "This starch water is a ratio of 1 to 5 between water and potato starch. ”
Then when the side of the potsticker was almost golden, Feng Yifan opened the lid of the pot and poured the starch water down.
When it is hot again, open it again and sprinkle some sesame seeds, then turn the potstickers over. Cover the pot one last time and fry it slightly.
Feng Yifan lifted the lid of the pot, shoveled out the potstickers one by one with a long shovel, and placed them on the prepared plate.
The front of the potsticker is slightly yellow and sesame seeds, and the bottom is a crispy puff pastry that is joined together. It looks really beautiful, and the filling and sesame seeds are fried and fragrant, which is really attractive.
After taking it out, Feng Yifan glanced at the time, handed the plate to Lin Ruifeng and said, "You guys taste it first, I'm going to go back quickly." ”
After that, without waiting for the Lin family to ask, Feng Yifan hurriedly went out of the back door and turned to the door of Su Ji's back kitchen. After entering the door, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and quickly rushed out of the back kitchen and ran to the second floor.
