58. Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar
Now that the chestnuts are ready, start heating the stones.
Turn on high heat and stir the pebbles in the pot constantly so that all the pebbles are heated evenly.
When the temperature is right, add two tablespoons of honey to the pot and continue to stir-fry.
Under the influence of honey, the stones and iron pot were dyed with a beautiful shiny color.
The light fragrance of honey can enhance the flavor and sweetness of chestnuts, making it the perfect combination.
Among them, the choice of honey is also very particular.
Try to choose honey with a fragrance that matches the fragrance of chestnut, so that the fragrance can be harmonious and unified.
Liu Minghui chose chestnut flower honey.
The rich floral fragrance of chestnut blends with the fragrance of chestnut itself, and you can take a sip.
Chestnut's unique rich aroma, glutinous texture and sweet taste.
When blended together, you can't stop eating it.
When the stones are hot enough, add the processed chestnuts into them and stir-fry continuously.
At this time, you must not be lazy.
Otherwise, the chestnuts will be heated unevenly and will lose their best flavor.
During this period, according to the condition of the chestnuts, add honey twice in two times.
Stir-fry until the chestnuts are shiny and shiny, the openings explode, and are completely mature. The sugar-fried chestnuts are considered complete.
During this time, constant stir-frying was required, and it took Liu Minghui nearly an hour to complete.
Smelling the fragrance of chestnuts emanating from the pot, Liu Minghui felt his saliva began to secrete crazily, and he was greedy.
Next, just use a slotted spoon to sift out the chestnuts.
Under normal circumstances, the stones will be much smaller than chestnuts, which is just enough to ensure that all the stones can be sifted out.
However, the stones Liu Minghui used were relatively large, so it was naturally impossible to use this method.
He directly took out a chopstick, and with quick eyes and quick hands, he picked out a chestnut.
Under Liu Minghui's hands, the usually slippery chestnuts became extremely tame and were fished out one by one, quickly filling a large bowl.
Some people may be curious. Chestnuts are fried with honey to enhance the flavor, but why are they fried with pebbles?
This is actually a cooking method similar to salt curium and beggar's chicken. It is a process that uses solid media to transfer heat and cook it.
This can not only maintain the original flavor of chestnut, but also lock the original aroma of chestnut.
Because stones heat up quickly and conduct heat quickly, they can provide and maintain the temperature required to make chestnuts crisp and tender.
At the same time, it promotes the moisture in the chestnut to be evenly distributed in the shortest time.
Finally, the effect of concentrated chestnut flavor is achieved.
It can also be said that it is the added stones that make the chestnuts sweeter, more flavorful and more fragrant.
Turning off the fire, Liu Minghui brought the freshly baked chestnuts to the table.
Get ready to enjoy this rare treat.
Dahuang, who was sleeping, smelled the fragrance of chestnuts and couldn't sleep anymore. He wagging his tail and came to Liu Minghui's feet.
He kept rubbing his head against Liu Minghui's thigh, making him look cute.
Yes, you can't eat alone anymore.
The chestnuts that have just come out of the pot are still very hot, but this is when they taste the best.
After the temperature goes down, the glutinous texture when it comes out of the pot is gone.
At the same time, the chestnut skin also begins to stick to itself due to the evaporation of water in the chestnut itself, making it difficult to peel off.
Liu Minghui endured the burning of the chestnuts and picked up the largest and plump chestnut.
The opening of the chestnut is just right, with almost no damage to the chestnut flesh.
Just open it gently along the opening, and a round chestnut will be peeled out.
Golden color and attractive aroma.
After cooling it slightly, Liu Minghui put the chestnut into his mouth.
Feed the rhubarb later.
Besides, the book says it’s not good for dogs to eat chestnuts.
People eat chestnuts tonic.
So I eat more.
Although it is still a little hot, it is already a very suitable temperature for the entrance.
Before I started chewing, I felt the fragrance of chestnuts and a touch of sweetness.
This is the sweetness of honey attached to chestnuts.
When you take a bite, it is extremely glutinous, sweet and fragrant.
There's even a bit of caramel flavor.
It was so delicious that Liu Minghui couldn't help but peel another one and eat it.
What about mine?
Seeing Liu Minghui's expression of enjoyment, Da Huang also became anxious and let out a barking sound.
If Liu Minghui eats a few more, he might become so anxious that he utters human words.
Fortunately, Liu Minghui has not forgotten it.
Quickly peel three bright yellow chestnuts and put them in the rhubarb dog bowl.
It seems that the fragrance of chestnut is too tempting, and this time, rhubarb could not resist the temptation.
Open your mouth directly and swallow all three chestnuts into your belly, one at a time.
Before he could swallow, a pair of eyes stared straight at Liu Minghui.
As if to say, I want more!
Liu Minghui was helpless, what kind of super foodie is this?
He put a chestnut directly into Dahuang's dog bowl and said earnestly: "Dahuang, if you want to eat the chestnut, you have to move your paws yourself."
"The chestnuts peeled by yourself are the sweetest."
After saying that, Liu Minghui looked at Dahuang with a funny look.
Dogs shouldn’t be able to peel chestnut shells, right?
Dahuang glanced at Liu Minghui with disdain and licked the chestnut into his mouth.
After moving his mouth a few times, a complete chestnut shell was spat out, complete with chestnut skin.
Judging from the speed, it is no slower than Liu Minghui's hand peeling.
It even knows not to litter and spits its shells in the corner of the dog bowl.
Seeing Dahuang's silky movements, Liu Minghui's smile froze on his face.
Damn it, this is a dog that can only eat chestnuts.
However, the good news is that Liu Minghui does not have to help rhubarb peel chestnuts.
It does it on its own.
So, after pouring a bowl of chestnuts into the dog bowl, Liu Minghui enjoyed the delicious chestnuts by himself.
…
One person and one dog, moving very quickly.
A pot of chestnuts was completely destroyed in a short time.
Liu Minghui was a little regretful because he had left out rhubarb, a huge foodie, and therefore had less chestnuts to prepare.
If there is a chance, I can do it again.
After simply cleaning up the chestnut garbage, Liu Minghui came to the kitchen again.
But this time, he didn't intend to continue practicing speculation.
He was going to make some dough to make stone cakes.
Since the dough needs to be rested, if you want to make stone cakes, you can only prepare them in advance.
I was just about to go out for a rhubarb walk, and the time was just right.
Prepare the dough before departure, and when you get back from walking the dog, the dough will be almost ready.
When the time comes, making stone cakes will be a matter of course.
Stone cake is one of the traditional Chinese noodles. It tastes crispy and fragrant, rich in nutrients and easy to digest.
Because stones are needed during production, and after shaping, there are stone-shaped stripes on the cake, so it got its name.
The cooking principle is similar to that of stir-fried chestnuts with sugar. It also uses the high temperature passed by stones to cook food.
Take an appropriate amount of yeast, melt it with warm water, and mix it into the flour.
Then keep kneading until it forms a smooth dough.
Then put the dough into a larger container and let it rise.
This step is very simple, it just takes a lot of time to wake up.
When Liu Minghui comes home from walking the dog, it will be just right. After a little cooking, it can be eaten as lunch.
Liu Minghui was enjoying himself here, but he did not expect that a storm caused by himself was about to break out.
