151. The steamed buns in memory (1) The past years as the rudder master
Meeting fans on the road was a small incident.
Ling Rui and Liu Xuan then returned to the mushroom house with the ingredients. Now, he always felt that he was the butler of the mushroom house and had to take care of the family's food and drink.
Of course, after taking care of it, I actually still have a small sense of accomplishment.
Last night Zhang Jike ordered steamed buns with a lot of fillings. He was a foodie.
"Sister Xuan, I'll knead the dough first." Ling Rui looked at Liu Xuan, "You wash the vegetables first?"
"Okay." Liu Xuan agreed.
"But you can watch me knead the dough first." Ling Rui smiled. Since Liu Xuan promised to teach her how to cook yesterday, she had to start cooking.
"Okay, okay!" Liu Xuan nodded, and then her eyes were bright, staring at Ling Rui's movements with excitement.
Naturally, Ling Rui didn't hide his secrets. He scooped out the flour, then added yeast, water, and oil, and started to knead the dough. "Have you kneaded dough before, Sister Xuan?"
Liu Xuan shook her head, "That's really not the case."
"Sister Xuan, wash your hands and try it later."
"Can I?"
"Yeah. It's okay." Ling Rui nodded. For him, practice is worse than talking, so he will give Liu Xuan a chance.
Liu Xuan then nodded excitedly, washed her hands, and stood where Ling Rui was.
…
"Yes, don't knead too hard or for too long. For making buns, one of the main purposes of kneading the dough is to break up the yeast."
"good."
"If the yeast is evenly dispersed, the dough will ferment evenly."
…
"Okay, leave it alone. Let's wash the vegetables and prepare the stuffing for the steamed buns."
"Um."
Liu Xuan wiped her sweat. Kneading dough was not an easy task. The most important thing was that there were so many people. The dough was covered with a piece of wet gauze and was waiting to ferment.
Now she knows how hard it is to cook for so many people.
While she was kneading the dough, Ling Rui made millet porridge in the rice cooker. Of course, the amount must not be large, otherwise she would eat too much for breakfast.
"Yesterday, I ordered sauerkraut, spicy tofu, vermicelli, shredded radish, and vegetable buns." Ling Rui looked at the ingredients he bought in the morning in the sink and said, "The vermicelli filling is difficult to mix, so forget it."
"Yes, we still have to soak the vermicelli." Liu Xuan nodded, "The most important thing is that the other stuffed people are enough to keep us busy! I will definitely give him a slap when he comes down later."
"Sister Xuan, what do you want to say about me?" Zhang Jike's voice came from behind Liu Xuan.
"He said you are a foodie." Huang Lei put his hands in his pockets, looked at the weather, and said with a smile.
"I am." Zhang Jike admitted without hesitation.
Liu Xuan:......
"Good morning, Master."
"Haha, morning." Huang Lei immediately came over and started to help wash the vegetables, "As for sauerkraut, I remember that there is some in the jar. We should have pickled it before."
Ling Rui nodded, "Well, it should taste good, so I'll get it."
"good."
After saying that, Ling Rui stood up and took out the jar for looking for sauerkraut. The so-called Laotan sauerkraut probably is what Ling Rui thinks. As the name suggests, it is an old jar with sauerkraut added.
Finally, Ling Rui found the sauerkraut jar among the many jars.
Then, I washed my hands, dug out two sauerkraut from the jar, and washed them.
Taking the kitchen knife, he placed the sauerkraut on the chopping board and began to chop it.
Ling Rui's favorite is the stuffed pickled cabbage stuffed with tofu and shredded pork. However, this stuffing is troublesome to make and needs to be fried in a pot.
Seeing this, Huang Lei started to get chopped vegetables and mushrooms.
Liu Xuan started shredding carrots, and Zhang Jike started kneading tofu.
"Whether today's buns are delicious or not depends on you." Huang Lei laughed and looked at Liu Xuan and Zhang Jike, "If these two stuffed buns are not delicious, then it's no one else's fault, just you two!
"
"Teacher Huang! Sister Xuan and I are novices!" Zhang Jike was horrified, "Besides, Xiao Rui will have to come to season the sauce later! How can you throw this pot away to me? If you want to throw it away, it must be given to the chef!"
Ling Rui: A sudden disaster is coming!
After Ling Rui finished cutting the pickled cabbage, he took another piece of tofu, then a piece of pork belly, chopped it into pieces and continued dicing.
Then I cut some green peppers.
"Xiao Rui, what kind of stuffing are you making?" Huang Lei was confused.
“Sauerkraut and tofu stuffing.”
"Won't it be repeated?"
“It tastes different.”
"good."
Then, Ling Rui took the ingredients back to the kitchen, lit a fire, heated the pan with oil, and began to stir-fry the fillings.
First place a plate of diced pork belly and stir-fry.
Cook until the pork belly cubes change color and the white fat part turns golden.
Add the diced tofu and stir-fry until the tofu is slightly golden.
Then add the sliced green peppers and stir-fry.
Then there’s sauerkraut.
Then stir-fry with a large spoon.
After stir-frying evenly, Ling Rui took a spoon and took a bite. The taste was just right, not bland anyway, and the sauerkraut was very refreshing.
Then scoop out the stuffing and set it aside.
Pour a large piece of hot pot base into the pot, and then pour in Zhang Jike’s crushed tofu.
stir fry.
Then, he added salt, oil, and chicken essence to the green vegetable stuffing. Huang Lei didn't say anything, and he immediately understood the need to stir.
Ling Rui added chopped green peppers, salt, and sesame oil to the stuffing of shredded radish...
In the pot, the aroma of spicy tofu has emerged.
Ling Rui took the tofu out of the pot.
Then looking at the four kinds of stuffings on the stove, Ling Rui was helpless. He thought he could open a steamed stuffed bun shop.
"Oh my God! It smells so good!" He Jiong's voice came, looking at the stuffing in the kitchen and smacking his mouth.
"It's fragrant." Ling Rui nodded, and then said, "Let's make more delicate buns today."
"delicate?"
"Why not go big?"
Ling Rui tilted his head, "Because the big ones have no technical content and everyone can do it."
Several others:...
"This kind of delicate buns usually require a higher level of bun wrapper." Ling Rui opened the gauze on the dough and poked the dough. Sure enough, the dough had fermented, and then he kneaded the dough into a ball, "I'll make it."
Skin."
Immediately afterwards, Ling Rui sprinkled dry flour on a clean chopping board, then placed the dough on the chopping board, kneaded it, stretched it, and then cut the stretched parts into evenly sized pieces one by one.
"For dough of this size, flatten the dough first, and then evenly turn the small dough into a slightly larger dough." Teacher Ling Rui explained, then scooped a spoonful of the stuffing from the pickled cabbage and tofu stuffing, and began to collect it.
Bian said, "It's this size. Each person can eat at least five in a while."
"Xiao Rui knows very well! There are not many buns of this size sold outside now!" Huang Lei was surprised, "Nowadays they are all Bobby buns, big-eyed buns and so on...all kinds of chain stores."
"I've eaten this Xiao Rui in front of my house before." Zhang Jike smiled, "It's just a small shop, not big, and people who buy steamed buns have to queue up every day. After a few baskets of steamed buns are sold, they are gone as soon as a few people buy them.
Yes, because everyone buys a dozen, seven or eight."
"Yes. Steamed buns of this size taste great." He Jiong nodded in agreement, "I'm hungry now."
