Chapter 131 Almond tofu is so delicious! Arrange a dish for Uncle Tan!
In the store.
Lin Xu kept stirring the pot with a spoon.
This step requires patience, because agar is not easy to melt, and the fire must be kept low on the stove. It feels like stirring the agar for a long time is still the same.
"Would it be faster to use something else?"
Everyone in the store is waiting to eat, so they are more concerned about the cooking method.
Lin Xu said:
"It's easier to use gelatine flakes or ice powder, cornstarch is also fine. Agar-agar melts slower, but overall, agar-agar has the best taste."
The gelatin sheets are more elastic and have a sticky texture like jelly.
The texture made from ice powder will be thinner.
It doesn’t have the crisp and crisp texture made by agar-agar, especially after it is chilled, the crisp texture will give people an immediate feeling of coolness.
Bring to a boil over low heat and simmer for a while.
The agar that was put in has probably melted.
Lin Xu turned off the heat, holding a non-stick pan in one hand, and a relatively fine leak-tight filter in the other hand, placing it on a small basin, and filtered the almond milk soup in the pot to prevent the unmelted agar agar chunks from being mixed in.
It goes in and causes a bad taste.
After filtering.
A second filtering is required.
Lin Xu brought two food boxes suitable for making molds.
Put the cleaned drain back into the box, hold the basin in one hand, and gently pour it into the middle of the drain.
This time's filtration is to remove the foam in the soup, making the almond tofu more uniform and dense, making it more delicious and delicious.
In order to achieve better filtration effect, the leak must be immersed at the bottom of the lunch box so that the foam can be completely isolated.
I made a lot of almond tofu today.
Two mold lunch boxes are filled to the brim.
After installing it, Lin Xu put it in the refrigerator compartment, which not only speeds up the solidification, but also makes the almond tofu taste cooler.
If you don’t want to eat ice.
You can also dry it naturally at room temperature.
After solidification, the almond tofu is still warm, and it has a unique flavor when topped with osmanthus honey. It is more suitable for the elderly with weak gastrointestinal problems or women during their menstrual period.
Finish this.
Lin Xu began to fry the small crispy pork for the bowl.
The store's signature crispy pork is a big crispy pork. If you steam it directly, it will not be easy to steam thoroughly, and it is not easy to put it into the bowl.
So in order to facilitate steaming.
Today I specially fried some small pieces of crispy pork.
I steamed about a hundred bowls of crispy pork in the morning, and I thought there would be leftovers. Unexpectedly, the customers were very satisfied with the meal. Not only did they say they would eat more in the afternoon, they even asked Lin Xu to add the crispy pork soup.
Customers have always been thinking about this group meal dish.
Now we have small crispy pork.
Lin Xu thinks he can try some.
4:30 pm.
When dinner is about to start in the store.
Shen Guofu, Han Shuzhen and Shen Jiayue, who pouted and had "happiness" written all over their faces, came to the store together.
"Xiao Xu, the clothes I bought for you are all in the car. Give me the keys to your home later. Your uncle and I will help you deliver them home and see if the house needs to be tidied up."
For my son-in-law.
Han Shuzhen is satisfied from the bottom of her heart.
In addition, Lin Xu's parents were not in the capital, so she wanted to pay more attention to this child.
Lin Xu said:
"No, no, I'll go with the driver to deliver it later... By the way, auntie, I made some almond tofu for you to try. It's such a hot day, so it's just the right relief."
"Almond tofu? That's great. I just want to eat something cold to cool down."
Han Shuzhen was a little overjoyed.
I just bought some clothes for this child, and when I came back, I made my favorite almond tofu. This child is really good!
How does she look like my own daughter?
It will cause trouble for people all day long.
When Lin Xu went to get almond tofu from the refrigerator, he saw that his classmate Shen looked unhappy, so he whispered to her:
"I'll give you some more later."
Shen Jiayue became happy now.
Haha, Xu Bao is still the best to me, unlike Director Han who favors one over the other.
Lin Xu took out the almond tofu that had been refrigerated for an hour or two.
The white tofu has a slightly crystal clear feel, and it is still trembling after being poured out of the box. It looks a bit like jelly, but it is much more beautiful than jelly.
The jelly has a dark texture, while the almond tofu is pure milky white.
Use a knife to cut the almond tofu into pieces slightly smaller than mahjong, then take a stack of plates and put the cut almond tofu in to make a pyramid shape.
Then I took the red osmanthus honey sent by senior brother Xie Baomin.
Use a spoon to carefully pour over the almond tofu.
After pouring, serve them to everyone one by one.
Let’s eat!
The milky white almond tofu is drizzled with a layer of red osmanthus honey, which makes you more and more greedy as you look at it.
After Han Shuzhen took it in her hand, she even couldn't believe it:
"Oh, this is so beautiful."
She picked up the spoon and scooped a small piece into her mouth. The first thing she felt was the sweetness of osmanthus honey, and then the cold feeling of almond tofu.
No need to chew at all.
Gently lick it with your tongue, and the almond tofu will break apart in your mouth.
The sweetness of almonds and the milky aroma of milk permeate the mouth, and even the fragrance of osmanthus becomes a foil.
Delicious!
So delicious!
"Old Shen, this is much better than those private kitchens with an average of three thousand or four thousand per capita. Those private kitchens can only play gimmicks now and have no real skills at all."
As someone who has eaten all over the capital.
Shen Guofu had the right to say this. He took a sip and nodded:
"Indeed, the last time I and Lao Tan had 499 servings of almond tofu, it was better than Xiaoxu's. Even the osmanthus honey was not as good as Xiaoxu's. ...Where did Xiaoxu buy this osmanthus honey? Is there a link?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"My senior brother took two bottles from Diaoyutai. If you like the rest, you can take away the rest. Anyway, the store doesn't serve this dish, so it's useless for us to ask for osmanthus honey."
"Hey! It's from Diaoyutai, no wonder it tastes so good. That's all I asked. I eat it here every day now, and I won't have a chance to eat it when I take it back."
After speaking, he whispered to Lin Xu:
"I plan to treat your Uncle Tan to dinner here tomorrow afternoon. Can you make arrangements?"
Uncle Tan?
Is he the leader of Student Shen?
It was he who got himself an order for training from the Audit Office, which must be arranged.
"What does Uncle Tan like to eat? Do you have any taste preferences?"
Shen Guofu thought for a while and said:
"Lao Tan likes to eat chicken, but he doesn't like to eat heavy flavors such as braised or stir-fried. Instead, he likes to eat something lighter and more refreshing. Do you have any good dishes?"
Something lighter and more refreshing?
Lin Xu thought for a while, and the only dish in the store that met this requirement was steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce.
But Uncle Tan likes to eat chicken.
Otherwise...
His heart moved and he immediately said:
"Then I will try making a steamed chicken with black bean sauce tomorrow. I will steam the chicken in the same way as the pork ribs with black bean sauce. The taste should not be much different."
"Okay, that's it, Lao Tan and I will wait to eat tomorrow afternoon."
Shen Guofu now has no desires and needs, but is only interested in food.
As soon as he heard Lin Xu's description, he felt that this steamed chicken with black bean sauce was unpalatable.
In order to let his son-in-law remember other people's kindness, Shen Guofu whispered in Lin Xu's ear:
"Your Uncle Tan knew about your relationship with Yueyue earlier than I did. In order to prevent me from disapproving of your relationship with Yueyue, he even called me to encourage me. I will remember to thank you when I see you Uncle Tan tomorrow."
After confirming the relationship between Lin Xu and his daughter, Shen Guofu also understood the meaning of his cross-server chat with Lao Tan last time.
The reason why I invite Lao Tan to dinner alone tomorrow.
It is also for this purpose.
Then I have to thank my father-in-law very much... Lin Xu didn't expect that Uncle Tan not only helped his store get a large six-figure order, but even helped him win over his father-in-law.
That goes without saying, I must make this steamed chicken with black bean sauce, and I would like to thank Uncle Tan for his help.
He decided to try it tomorrow morning.
If you can't do it well, ask your master or senior brother for advice.
Anyway, I still have an excellent cooking learning card in my hand.
Don’t worry about making delicious steamed chicken!
