Xiao Nianzhi is going to make shrimp dumplings, of course an improved version.
The more authentic version requires diced fatty meat, but Xiao Nianzhi said: the braised pork can also be slightly more colorful.
However, pure fat diced pork...
I declined.
So, cut the slightly fatty front leg meat into cubes, then put it together with the battered shrimp paste and chopped shrimp sections to adjust the filling.
In order to increase the transparent texture of shrimp dumpling skin, you need to use gluten-free flour.
Gluten-free flour, also called Chengfen.
It is a kind of flour with extremely low protein.
The skin of shrimp dumplings steamed with it will be particularly crystal clear, looking like crystal.
It looks nice and delicious.
Moreover, the crystal texture gives people a visual sense: I am very noble, don’t get involved if you don’t have money.
In terms of taste, it's not really that different.
But, it's also delicious.
Xiao Nianzhi handled it quickly.
Although there are only three of them, there are two adults who are very active and eat a lot.
Therefore, the amount of dishes prepared must be sufficient.
Xiao Nianzhi found all the steamers used for steaming buns at home.
For those in the South, morning tea may be a style of eating.
For the Guo siblings...
Never mind the bells and whistles.
Gotta eat enough.
So, head straight to the steamer!
Xiao Nianzhi wrapped it up quickly and Guo Sixue saw that she knew how to do this!
Can't you do delicate work?
However, she can still do this kind of behavior.
It's really easy to wrap it up, but it's not very pretty.
Put together with the shrimp dumplings made by Xiao Nian, it formed a tragic contrast.
One is that it is well packaged and will not leak.
One is that it looks like a work of art and is pleasing to the eye.
However, Guo Sixue's mentality was very good and she didn't care about this at all. She was still joking to herself: "Hey, this one I made is good. Wait until you get to the border and practice it. Maybe when you come back next year, it will be even better."
"
I don’t know if I can come back next year.
But people still have to have some expectations, or hopes.
Xiao Nianzhi was amused by her self-satisfied look. He kept moving his hands and encouraged her with a smile: "Then you have to practice hard and come back next time to check the results."
"If you feel that the taste of lean meat is not that good, you can replace it with diced fatty meat or pork belly, it depends on your preference."
"Actually, fatty pork dices are better, richer in fat, and taste more delicious."
"However, shrimp is not common in border areas. Dried shrimp cannot achieve such a taste. You can consider replacing it with something else."
"Actually, the filling is not important. What's important is the taste and texture. Of course, over there, the feeling of fullness may be more important."
…
Xiao Nianzhi said a lot worriedly.
Guo Sixue listened and kept nodding: "Yes, yes, fat meat is good, this one tastes more delicious!"
"There are no shrimps, but think of a way to eat meat without shrimps."
…
Guo Yinghui had already gone to look at the baking room.
The dough for the golden cake that Xiao Nianzhi had previously prepared has been fermented at low temperature.
Now that I'm back, I naturally need to bake it first.
After other things are steamed, this can be cooled slightly, and then cut and served.
Guo Yinghui had never eaten anything like this before, but now that she heard the name, she found it very interesting.
Gold!
Who does not like?
So, he watched it himself!
Xiao Nianzhi is thinking about time here.
She knows the baking cellar in her own baking room best.
Therefore, Guo Yinghui only needs to watch according to the time.
Xiao Nianzhi was busy here, but he didn't forget to pay attention there, for fear that Guo Yinghui would forget it due to his lack of experience.
In addition to these two kinds, Xiao Nianzhi also soaked dried clams and scallops to make porridge later.
In fact, it would be best if there were crabs, but unfortunately...
This season, river crabs are out of season.
So, just make do with these two kinds of dry food.
In fact, after the scallops are soaked and combined with white rice, they taste very delicious, not much worse than crabs.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi chose this.
Everyone moves in parallel, so the speed is very fast.
The sweet aroma of baking, the delicious aroma of shrimp dumplings, the meaty aroma of steamed chicken feet and garlic pork ribs, and the delicious aroma of seafood porridge soon came out from the kitchen...
All kinds of delicious flavors are intertwined together, which makes people's hearts itch.
Guo Sixue looked at this and that, wishing she had two mouths and four stomachs.
Then, run in parallel in multiple directions and start at the same time.
No one is left behind, everyone can be eaten.
How wonderful that is!
When the golden cake that Guo Yinghui was looking at was baked, the shrimp dumplings and chicken feet from Xiao Nianzhi's side could also be cooked in one pot.
Although it takes a little time to use a steamer, it is still very convenient to cook it in one pot.
Over the seafood porridge, Guo Sixue has been watching it. It needs to be stirred from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the pan, so the fragrance lingers the longest.
She also smells the most.
After swallowing the saliva several times, I finally heard Xiao Nianzhi say with a smile: "It's almost done."
Guo Sixue just slapped her thigh and said: Let me come, let me come, you can eat it!
The three of them are all brothers and sisters, so there is no need to be particularly polite.
Xiao Nianzhi did not share a table with them. They all shared a small round table, and apart from the porridge, everything else could be enjoyed together.
Moreover, when someone was serving dishes, they also used serving chopsticks, so there was no hygiene problem.
Xiao Nianzhi thinks this is actually quite good.
The shrimp dumplings are crystal clear, and the chicken feet are the color of tiger skin. They taste good and are very tasty.
Garlic pork ribs, fragrant and attractive, very delicious.
The wheat aroma of golden cake is mixed with a hint of coconut aroma that cannot be ignored.
Actually, the more authentic version uses coconut milk.
However, they don't have that condition here.
Xiao Nianzhi uses coconut flour.
They are all powdered after the pulp is processed and sun-dried.
Although it is a bit rough, after careful grinding, it will not affect the texture and taste.
The golden cake has been cut and placed on the plate.
Because the gas is generated inside, the various honeycomb eyes are shaped like shark fins, so the gold cake is also called shark fin cake.
However, no matter what it is called, for the Guo siblings, it is just delicious.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have a name, they can just rely on their not-so-good culture to come up with another one!
Seafood porridge is naturally a bowl for each person.
After the scallops are soaked, they are white, soft and tender. They are quivering between the rice and look delicious.
In contrast, the clam meat is not too obvious.
Originally it was not that big, but after it dried, it became even smaller.
Even after soaking it in water again and filling it up a bit, it still doesn't look as conspicuous as the Yao Zhu.
However, the effect of improving freshness is not lacking at all.
If you use it with beans and cook noodles...
The fragrant soup base, wrapped in the rich wheat-flavored noodles, makes it delicious just thinking about it!
Xiao Nianzhi decided that she would have this for dinner tomorrow!
