Chapter 55: Cook the cooking oil! Want to eat dumplings in sour soup? No problem!
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
After lunch break, Uncle Gao came to the store.
"Are the ingredients for cooking oil ready? Shall we start now?"
"Okay, Master, I'll start after I finish frying the chicken feet."
I just spent 40,000 points this morning to redeem a qualified universal fuel oil technique. I have to give it a try quickly to see if the 40,000 points are worth it.
The so-called cooking oil is a kind of oil-based condiment that combines the aroma of various spices and vegetables.
In Chinese cooking, various special fats are often used.
For example, scallion oil is used for mixing noodles, red oil is indispensable for Sichuan cuisine, chicken oil is used when Lin Xu makes tomato and egg noodles, and even soy sauce is used for steaming ribs and chicken feet, etc.
Among these oil-based condiments, cooking oil is the most widely used.
Cooking techniques such as stir-frying, boiling, steaming, cold dressing, stewing, deep-frying, etc. are all inseparable from cooking oil.
Although Uncle Gao said that making oil is very simple, in fact it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even for a large hotel, it is a big project.
Because it’s not just about putting some ingredients and spices into a pan and frying them.
The ratio of spices, the order of placing ingredients, etc. are all very particular.
There is a ten-pound bucket of peanut oil on the workbench.
This is the base oil used for boiling cooking oil.
Rapeseed oil has a low smoke point and high smoke, so it is not suitable for long-term cooking, and the taste of soybean oil is too bland, so the most suitable cooking oil is peanut oil with a higher smoke point and a purer aroma.<
/p>
Next to the peanut oil is a small pot of spices soaked in warm water.
Warm water can soak out the medicinal properties and bitterness of the spices, making the cooking oil taste better and effectively preventing the spices from frying in the oil pan.
Uncle Gao holds the basin of bubbling spices.
I gently picked it up with my hands and found that there were more than a dozen spices inside, including peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, grass nuts, cardamom, angelica, cloves, fennel, etc.
He picked out a piece of cinnamon bark and two strawberries, leaving only one clove and the rest.
By the way, I also put a handful of bay leaves and a handful of fennel inside.
"The more bay leaves and fennel, the better, but the cinnamon and cloves must be as few as possible, otherwise the cooking oil will have a strong bitter taste."
After saying that, he looked at the vegetables again.
A small basket of washed cilantro with roots, a large basket of whole green onions, and a few celery stems with roots.
In addition, there are purple onions cut into thick strips, shallots cut in half, carrots cut into thick slices, ginger cut into thick slices and garlic cut in half.
Uncle Gao pointed to the coriander, green onions and celery and said to Lin Xu:
"Cut off the leaves of these three types and put them together. The leaves are not resistant to frying and will be easily burnt if you put them in too early... Next time, don't remove the roots of the green onions. Fry them with the roots for a better flavor."
The voice just fell.
The system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:
"The host received the guidance of the state banquet master, and the qualified general oil technique was automatically upgraded to the excellent technique. Congratulations to the host."
Huh?
Is there such a good thing?
He immediately took a kitchen knife, cut off the leaves of three vegetables and put them into the same large basket.
After the chicken feet are fried.
Lin Xu took out a vertical soup bucket and placed it on the stove.
Pour tons and tons of that bucket of peanut oil in and turn on the fire.
The frying oil cannot be used at the beginning. You must first heat the oil to 100% heat, which is about 240 degrees, to let the impurities and odor inside evaporate, so that the aroma of the oil will be more pure.
Keep it 100% hot for about ten minutes.
Uncle Gao said:
"Turn off the heat and wait until the oil temperature drops to 50% hot before slowly adding the ingredients."
The fire for boiling the cooking oil should not be too high, and the oil temperature should not be too high.
Keep the oil in the pot at 50% to 60% hot and continue frying over low heat. This will help bring out the aroma of the ingredients and spices.
After the oil temperature drops.
Lin Xu followed Uncle Gao’s instructions.
First put ingredients that are resistant to frying, such as celery root, scallions, carrots, shallots, and ginger slices, into the oil pan.
As soon as I put it in, the oil pan started boiling.
Lin Xu carefully stirred it with a spoon.
Let the moisture in the ingredients be fried as much as possible.
After the ingredients in the pot were fried until soft, Lin Xu added coriander roots, garlic and half a basket of shredded onions.
There was another boil in the pot.
Wait until these ingredients are fried until the water content is reduced.
Add the soaked spices.
Continue frying.
The aroma in the pot becomes more and more intense.
The aromas of various vegetables and spices are mixed together, filling the entire store with an alluring aroma.
The guy who was cutting eggplant couldn't help but sniff:
"It's so fragrant, I can eat two bowls of rice just by smelling it."
Song Tiantian, who was helping peel garlic next to her, asked curiously:
"Didn't the place you worked at before boil cooking oil?"
"It's boiling, but the oil used is the cheapest salad oil, and the ingredients used are also scraps from the kitchen. Unlike our boss, who is so skilled at cooking, he is willing to use ingredients, and the boiled cooking oil smells transparent." p>
Song Tiantian chatted with him during her free time:
"How can our business be successful if we pretend to be inferior products?"
Che Zi used a kitchen knife to push the chopped eggplants into the basin next to him, then put two uncut eggplants on the cutting board and said while working:
"What the heck, yesterday a chef in that store asked us if we were hiring here. He wanted to switch jobs, but I rejected him."
"Why?"
"The chef is a barbecue cook, and we don't serve barbecue pork in the store. He can only do the work of a helper when he comes. You said that he wants to receive the salary of a chef to work as a helper. Isn't this cheating our boss?
?"
"Yes, yes, you did the right thing, Car Boy, we can't cheat the boss."
Now cook the cooking oil.
The cigarette machine in the store is turned on very loudly.
Lin Xu did not hear the conversation between the sleeping dragon and the phoenix chick.
Otherwise, it will definitely come over with a pan.
While everyone was busy working on their own, Pan Da and Wu Kexin suddenly opened the door and walked in.
Wu Kexin holds up the mobile phone used for live broadcast.
Panda was carrying his own luggage bag, pulling Wu Kexin's trolley case, holding a small parasol in his hand, and Wu Kexin's bag hanging around his neck.
Why did the second eldest brother on the list become a little follower?
This is...
Got it?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Lin Xu felt curious.
After Wu Kexin entered the store, she helped Panda take off the bag from around her neck:
"Thank you, Brother Pan. I see how sweaty you are. I have paper in my bag. Please wipe it off quickly."
As soon as he heard her say thank you, Lin Xu knew that it was not a success.
But Wu Kexin doesn’t seem to hate Panda, otherwise she wouldn’t let Panda take the things in her bag.
Well, there is still hope.
"Boss Lin, what can we eat now? The box lunches on the high-speed rail are too unpalatable. We came here just after we got off the high-speed rail. I thought I might not have time to live broadcast today, so I took advantage of this moment to make up for the live broadcast time to avoid being banned by the platform.
Deduct money."
There is really no food in the store right now.
Other stores may have leftovers or something.
But every meal at Linji Food is sold out, and the employees don’t even get to eat what they want.
However, these two people have just returned from Yinzhou and have helped their scenic spot a lot, so they cannot let people go hungry.
Lin Xu said:
"We haven't prepared anything in the store, but there are dumplings made by my mother in the refrigerator at home. If you two don't mind, you can cook some now."
Upon hearing this, Panda and Wu Kexin both had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Aunt Chen's dumplings? That's great! We've both become addicted to Aunt Chen's cooking in the past two days."
Panda took out a small pack of Minion tissues from Wu Kexin's bag and said while wiping his sweat:
"Can you make it into sour soup? I feel thirsty on this journey and want to eat something with soup."
Brother, shouldn't your attention be on Wu Kexin?
Why did you even make a request?
Lin Xugang said that you should not embarrass me, Fat Tiger.
Uncle Gao next to him said:
"Sour soup dumplings? No problem. You two haven't tried my craftsmanship on your trip to Yinzhou, so I'll let you two have a great time today!"
