Gourmets of the Heavens - Chapter 659
Water stuffing, this is a filling method that often appears in pasta dishes.
There are many origins, and the purpose is actually very simple. The main thing is to make the filling more juicy.
It makes the buns have more impact on the taste. It can be said that for this requirement, countless people have tried their best, and this is how the method of adding skin jelly to the meat stuffing appeared later.
And Zhao Youqian’s method of adding water to the meat stuffing is one of the ways to increase the soup in the stuffing, and the taste will be slightly smoother than using skin jelly, not so thick.
Onion and ginger juice, served with minced shiitake mushrooms, in addition to the pork stuffing, since he is on the bank of Lushui, Zhao Yougan also used some carp and bighead carp meat that was caught.
It is also because fish meat is particularly easy to obtain meat at this point in the Tang Dynasty. As for pork, in fact, the smell of pork in the Tang world is relatively strong. It has not been improved in the later Song Dynasty. There are a lot of pork nowadays. Meat that people avoid.
Of course, Zhao Youqian also has a way to handle this kind of meat well. First, soak it in water for half an hour to remove the blood, then chop it up and add a lot of green onion and ginger juice, fruit wine to marinate.
Relatively speaking, pork in this era can be imported as long as one learns how to handle it, and because the price is cheap, it is quite suitable for junior cooks like Wei Zhenzhen to practice a lot.
The fish meat is easier, use a spoon to open the slices, and the fish meat that has removed the internal organs and black film fish bones is scraped towards the end of the fish bone, and the fish meat is scraped into minced fish, added to the pork filling, and served with big bone soup. Whipping, because of the addition of onion and ginger juice and fruit wine, the fishy smell of the fish itself will also be removed, but the pork will add a layer of deliciousness from the fish.
It is paired with the mellow taste from the bone broth in the big bone broth.
It can be said that this minced meat is enough to make people salivate, even if it is raw, it also exudes a very attractive aroma.
You must know that in order to put the big bone soup into the minced meat, Zhao Youqian added it in five times in one direction, and then poured a large bowl of bone broth into a pot of minced meat. At this time, the minced meat showed a A state like a sticky soup, and it is this state, combined with the upper half of the dough, can make the best buns that have never appeared in this world!
Even Shang Xiuxun, who often tastes delicious food in Zhutian Xiaoguan, has never tasted this kind of half-baked steamed stuffed bun. It can be said that Zhao Youqian also gave Wei Zhenzhen the foundation of the registered disciple who has the talent for white cases. A lot of cooking skills.
When the meat filling is finished, the old noodles that have been sleeping for a long time have finally fermented successfully, and the noodles in the half-leaven noodles are also completed!
First, knead the previous leavened dough and the dead dough together to form a half-raised bread dough, and set it aside for later use.
Then put all the old noodles directly into the remaining untreated flour, slowly add sugar and warm water, but according to the proportion, because the old noodles already contain water, so the amount of water added this time will be lower.
And because it has already been fermented, there is no need to add fruit wine to it.
When Lao Mian completely fused all the flour into it, the dough that was a bit sticky and covered with small air holes was put into the basin again, waiting for Lao Mian to completely complete the dough for making steamed buns.
At this point, the unique aroma of the dough can no longer be concealed. Even if it has not been cooked to maturity, the aroma of the fermented flour still wakes up Wei Zhenzhen who has been asleep for almost an hour.
After tidying up her clothes, Wei Zhenzhen came down and saw Zhao Yougan who was busy in the kitchen at a glance.
She doesn’t have the idea of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen. After all, Zhao Youqian took her as his apprentice because of her cooking talent, but Wei Zhenzhen never thought of the smell floating in the air. There is an aroma.
“Master!”
Entering the kitchen, Wei Zhenzhen saluted first, and then looked at Zhao Yougan’s movements.
Zhao Youqian also handed over the basics of Xie’s dough kneading method to Wei Zhenzhen, so she could see exactly what Zhao Youqian’s hands were doing at the first glance.
Constantly kneading the half-leavened dough in his hands, the dough on the counter seems to have started to spin like a tornado, and the other side of the dough, which is still fermenting, seems to be attracted by the airflow between Zhao Youqian’s hands , There were continuous impact sounds in the basin.
But this vision didn’t last long, and the half-baked dough had completely calmed down on the desk, but this move alone had already made Wei Zhenzhen’s eyes shine, she never thought of it, Cooking skills can actually do such a thing.
Wei Zhenzhen now also has true qi in her body, and she can tell that Zhao Youqian didn’t add any real qi or anything like that, and formed such a vision just by relying on the strength of his body.
What’s even more amazing is that after such a kneading, the dough seems to be a little whiter and brighter.
And Zhao Youqian’s hands seemed to be a little fairer.
“Come on Zhenzhen, come and have a look!”
“You have to know that Master Bai An’s hands are definitely very delicate, because the best skin care product in the world is flour!”
Sensing Wei Zhenzhen’s gaze, Zhao Youqian naturally brought the topic to the skin care that women are most concerned about. To him, these are just side issues, but for newcomers, even a little more enthusiasm and persistence The possibility of each will give them a lot of help when they overcome the initial difficulties of getting started.
“Is there such a saying?”
Shang Xiuxun was a little curious when he heard about this kind of thing for the first time.
“To make old noodles, people need to carefully raise the noodles to pass on this special fermented dough.”
“And when you make pasta every day, the flour is also giving back your own strength to every hard-working cook. This is human-raised noodles!”
“You must know that the grain of five grains is the most primitive and the first sacrifice.”
Zhao Youqian didn’t lie, but he didn’t master the way of sacrificial rituals. Even if he made pasta dishes every day, it wouldn’t have such a big effect. Of course, it is true that flour can make people’s skin delicate.
As long as it is a woman, no one is not interested in this kind of beauty. Even a gentle beauty like Wei Zhenzhen can’t help showing a little joy.
“Okay, now let’s take a closer look at how I make half-baked steamed buns and steamed buns. Your homework for the past two days is to make these two dishes, and I approve them!”
He didn’t get involved in this aspect for too long, Zhao Youqian quickly turned his attention to the dough on the table.
Moreover, he directly took the half-raised dough in his hand, made it one by one, and began to guide Wei Zhenzhen one by one, how to make this kind of half-raised bread and the filling, and complete each step What is the mark of eligibility.
