In the end, Xia Zhi left his apartment with a very ordinary meal and worried about what to eat for lunch. Xia Zhi did not have such happy worries. The lunch he made completely depended on what he had eaten yesterday or the day before yesterday.
What ingredients you buy in the supermarket are slightly limited by the recipes you know.
Why you are slightly limited by your own recipes is more particular, because almost all common meats and vegetables, almost all, can be processed casually and put into a big pot to stir-fry, boil, and steam.
Is there any problem? Isn’t this the legendary hodgepodge? As long as there are ingredients, it’s fine. The so-called most basic delicacies are probably nothing more than that.
Although the taste of the lowest delicacies is also dominated by the cooking skills of the craftsmen, it is equally determined by the selection of ingredients, so it also depends on the ingredients. Just like you cannot stew radish and cabbage together to make a sacrificial bird's nest.
The taste, right? So the selection of ingredients is also a relatively advanced knowledge.
Fortunately, Xia Zhi is temporarily out of the category of only making the most basic delicacies, and every meal will not be a hodgepodge. Otherwise, over time, he may not even know what the ingredients taste like. This is too real, even if
The future dream of ordinary people is not to become a super chef, which is also a sad thing.
Xia Zhi was sitting in the classroom and suddenly felt that he didn't want to read. His mind was still stuck on the snack-making methods he had read on his mobile phone in the morning - it was surprisingly interesting.
Xia Zhi hesitated for a while, and finally put down the book in his hand and continued to indulge in the world of fancy snacks on his mobile phone. It has to be said that there are actually many similar blogs in Japan, and many people are actually quite keen on developing such blogs.
There are many interesting snacks, either in raw materials, procedures, or image processing, but because the scope of application of snacks is actually very broad, such as biscuits and cakes, they are all very useful.
There is room for further processing of food, so Xia Zhi actually doesn’t find it strange that there are so many strange derivative snacks.
This is like a game with only a basic skeleton, but players can make their own mods and add them to it to transform it into the game they like. And these snacks are added to cookies and cakes like mods, turning them into chocolate cookies.
Ah, strawberry cake and the like, this is a relatively simple innovation.
The cakes sold as merchandise in the store where Xia Zhi works are actually the same. The more common ones are matcha cakes. Although matcha cakes are probably sold in many places, the taste will actually be very different depending on the quality of the cake itself. Compare
Roughly speaking, it can be understood that you put some matcha powder on charcoal and make it into a matcha cake, and you put matcha powder on a serious cake to make a matcha cake. There is an almost insurmountable problem between the two.
Therefore, although the matcha cake is based on the taste of matcha, if the quality of the cake itself is too poor, you will not get a good consumer experience.
Although the snacks are flashy, there are quite a lot of interesting things, and they may involve many fields. If you add some health-preserving ingredients to make them, it can be called a health-preserving biscuit, and add some fruit ingredients.
It can be said that it is a fruity biscuit, and there is no big restriction on this one.
But what Xia Zhi didn't expect was that someone would actually try to innovate on the common main course menu. For example, for curry, which is popular throughout Japan, someone has come up with recipes and recipes with relatively unique and good flavors in almost all major regions in Japan. The production process includes all kinds of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. Although this is naturally the result of people's own modifications to adapt to regional flavors based on different people's tastes, it is precisely because of these simple things that the taste tendencies of each region are different. will show up.
Not only that, because of the different tastes in large regions, the production process of a dish will also change. For example, Mapo tofu. Originally, Mapo tofu in the south had both spicy and spicy flavors, and was mainly hemp. In the north, because the locals It seems that I am not particularly good at eating spicy food, and the spicy taste will be diluted. Although Mapo Tofu is also red, there are even Mapo Tofu in some areas that are made to have a slightly sweet taste...
Although the taste is not necessarily authentic, it is the result of a certain food adapting to the local environment. You can't expect a person who eats sweet food to set up a hot pot with others as soon as he arrives in a certain Qing, and then add the extremely spicy chili peppers. Pour it into the pot for free, and the locals may enjoy it, but the person involved may end up in the hospital after eating it.
Although he used curry as an example, what Xia Zhi looked at more enthusiastically was not this food, but the dumplings that he had long been accustomed to. As for dumplings, he holds a piece of skin in his left hand, and uses chopsticks in his right hand to place the filling in the bowl. Pry it inside, put it to your left hand, close it with a little force, and the dumpling will come out. Generally speaking, many people will make dumplings by hand, although the first time you make it, the dumpling wrapper will not close due to a misunderstanding. Yes, the dumplings will crack when cooked, but it's still quite interesting after you get familiar with them.
Xia Zhi saw that the name of this dish was hollow dumplings. It was very strong. There was no filling in this dumpling. Although it was still round after being cooked, there was no filling inside. It was served as a prankster. It was proposed, and the operation process is quite complicated, because the dumpling skin will soften when cooked, and if the dumpling is hollow inside, it will easily stick together on both sides and prevent it from expanding, and the blogger himself also There's no good solution, so this is a recipe with a very high failure rate, and it's not very useful.
Therefore, every country actually has no shortage of people who are so idle that they have nothing to do.
After thinking about it carefully, Xia Zhi seemed to have not eaten dumplings for a long time. When he went back, he might be able to buy some ingredients and make them himself. Besides, dumplings don’t really require many things, but one thing that was more troublesome was that Xia Zhi I don’t have a rolling pin, and I have no experience making dumpling wrappers.
Don't underestimate the individual dumpling wrappers. Hand-made dumpling wrappers actually require a lot of skills. The dumplings are not as messy as handmade dumplings. The skin is so thin that you can see the fillings inside. It needs to carry more contents. Therefore, the dumpling wrapper needs to be thicker. But it should not be particularly thick, because that will inevitably affect the taste. A suitable dumpling wrapper actually requires a lot of effort. Only chefs with particularly skilled hands can make it casually like in the documentary. Knead a small piece of dough and roll it with a rolling pin.
I don’t have the tools, nor do I have to spend a lot of time to contact you. This is too frustrating. Although there are things like quick-frozen dumplings here, no one will go out of their way to sell dumpling wrappers. Maybe some restaurants selling Chinese food will.
But where to buy it will cost too much.
Is there a way to get dumpling wrappers easily and simply? Xia Zhi thought hard. Although the store manager can make cakes and so on, he is not a professional pastry chef and probably only makes matcha cakes, so basically
There is no way to expect to get any good quality dumpling wrappers from him.
So in the end, do you still have to buy your own flour and a rolling pin and practice slowly? Even if Xia Zhi has to eat dumplings every day for some time in the future...or dumpling wrappers. Although if the soup is better, even eating dumpling wrappers is nothing.
, after all, the dough itself is the basis of many things, but Xia Zhi can basically make the same soup - that is, put vegetables in water, add some salt and MSG, and heat it until it bubbles. That's the vegetable soup.
It's so miserable. Do you want to eat cabbage dumpling wrappers every day and feel that you are living a life that seems to be unsatisfactory?
So we still have to find a way.
At this moment, it seemed as if an angel was waving to him.
"Good morning, Xia Zhijun."
Shiraishi Rika said hello to Natsuki, and Natsuki herself was probably about to include this part of her daily routine. Although she didn’t know that Shiraishi Rika was blushing “abnormally” when she was supposed to say hello as usual, but thinking about it
There shouldn't be any big problem with her. What if it's because it's too cold and the wind blows outside?
"Good morning, Lihua."
As usual, Xia Zhi also returned the gift to Shiraishi Reika. Then Xia Zhi suddenly remembered that the person standing in front of him was a genuine successor to the five-star chef! He was already a confirmed super chef Shiraishi Reika, right?
Can you also roll out beautiful dumpling wrappers? It's possible.
Xia Zhi looked at Shiraishi Lihua and her eyes instantly became intense.
"Which..."x2
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and Xia Zhixian reacted: "You go ahead and say it."
"Well...actually, there's nothing wrong. I just wanted to ask if I could ask Xia Zhijun to teach me...to learn Chinese."
"Learn Chinese?" Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment: "This is really rare. I thought that if there weren't similar jobs there, few people would learn Chinese. After all, compared to English, Chinese is really
It’s hard enough to learn.”
A word with multiple sounds, a word with multiple sounds, a word with multiple meanings, and a word with more than one word are all basic operations. For those who want to learn Chinese and pass the Chinese proficiency test, it is just a matter of combining words and sentences that we learned in elementary school.
Words and sentences can make them doubt their lives. Then most people will choose to learn simpler English... Anyway, more people can speak English now. The acquisition of second language in China is also based on English. Learning English
It is much more convenient than Chinese.
Because of this, many foreign companies will go out of their way to find Chinese translators when negotiating business with Chinese businessmen. And because Chinese is particularly difficult to learn, such translations are also more expensive... and as
As China's economy develops and foreign trade becomes more and more frequent, learning Chinese is not a disadvantage, even though it is very difficult to learn.
"Well... I want to learn it because I might use it in the future." Shiraishi Rika recalled what her mother said when she gave her advice last night, and tried her best not to expose her flaws.
"She has a vision." As expected of the eldest daughter of a famous family, she has a long-term vision: "I don't have any big problems, but there are many more professional people that I may not be able to teach."
Teaching Chinese as a foreign language is already a specialized subject. This also proves from the side the need for foreigners to learn Chinese and how difficult it is to teach Chinese in a formal and systematic way. It requires a lot of professional knowledge.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"...If you don't mind it, that's fine."
"Great! (Yeah! Ta!)"
"Um?"
"Ah, nothing, nothing!"
Seeing that Shiraishi Lihua seemed happy because she picked up a Chinese teacher for nothing, Xia Zhi didn't think much about it.
"So, Xia Zhijun, do you have anything to tell me?" Baishi Lihua seemed to be in a good mood, and Xia Zhi struck while the iron was hot.
"I want to ask, Lihua, can you roll out dumpling wrappers?"
