Chapter 104 Supervising the Chef(1/2)
After the three returned, Wang Zhiyong rushed directly into the room where Mo Li was.
After entering with the roses, Molly was still playing with her mobile phone.
When Molly saw the roses, she didn't appear very happy at first.
It was Wang Zhiyong who was so excited that Mo Li put down her phone and looked very happy.
This side of the kitchen.
All the preparations have basically been done, and there are still a few things waiting to be done in the afternoon.
If a dish is cooked too early, it will affect the taste of the vegetables.
That is cabbage dumplings. The cabbage is divided into two parts: rhizome and leaves.
Cabbage rhizomes are used as fillings for dumplings, and cabbage leaves are used as dumpling wrappers.
You need to steam the cabbage leaves, wrap the stuffing made from the roots, and finally wrap them in batter and fry them in a pan.
The preparation of cabbage dumplings can only be done on the second day. After being prepared the day before, the cabbage is too moist.
By the time it is made the next day, the texture of the cabbage will have deteriorated and it will no longer have the tender and crisp texture.
The eight-treasure rice is almost ready.
The pumpkins have all been washed, put the soaked glutinous rice into the pumpkin, and put the longan and peanuts separately.
The golden pumpkin has been put on a plate with the lid closed and steamed in the steamer.
Feng Xin and Sun Hao had just delivered the beans and rose jam to the kitchen.
Grandma followed quickly.
Knowing that the beans had been bought, I quickly went to the kitchen to supervise the work.
Follow the tasks assigned to you closely.
Grandma is not supervising others, she is supervising Yunxi to cook this dish for her.
In the kitchen, Yunxi had just prepared the fillings for the tofu lion head and asked the kitchen aunts to do the process of frying the lion head. Yunxi was preparing to make red bean paste.
Grandma chased her to the kitchen, looked at Yun Xi, her eyes shone, and said:
"Yunxi, I have bought the beans. When will we start?"
Grandma looked at Yun Xi excitedly and said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Grandma, the red beans you bought have already been soaked in water. I'll adjust the temperature of the oil on the lion's head first and cook it in a while."
Yunxi looked at her grandma who was coming and explained that Yunxi had already made preparations.
Grandma doesn't look like a 73-year-old at all. She walks with a straight plank and doesn't wobble at all.
After hearing what Yun Xi said, grandma said happily:
"Okay, I'll wait for you and do it with you."
After saying that, grandma planned to sit down and was always ready to join in the cooking. She rolled up her sleeves as she talked.
Yun Xi smiled and looked at the old lady in front of him like a child.
Yunxi also said:
"Okay, then you wait for me for a while."
Seeing her grandma being so persistent, Yunxi complied with the old man's request.
After Yun Xi finished speaking, he looked at the heat of the oil pan.
Fried tofu balls require 70% hot oil temperature, so that the tofu balls will form quickly and will not fall apart.
Yun Xi looked at the time and saw that the oil was just right enough to make the tofu balls.
A meatball has a round shape of about 8 cm. Do not let the tofu fall apart, otherwise it will affect the subsequent stew.
Yunxi put the meatballs in and made about 8.
Due to the limitations of the oil pan, it also prevents the meatballs from being squeezed out of shape.
There can be up to 8 meatballs in one pot. Yunxi made the first pot, and the two aunties who helped cook made the subsequent ones.
As soon as the meatballs were made, Yunxi turned to another stove to look at the washed red beans in the pot.
The best beans for making bean paste are kidney beans, which are thin-skinned, fragrant, pink and waxy, and easy to ripen.
Unfortunately, the three men went out to buy large red beans.
This bean is shaped like a pole and is as wide as a pole, so it is also called pole beans.
This kind of big red bean is not easy to mature.
Yunxi looked at the beans in the pot and checked whether any were spoiled.
After checking, pour it into the pressure cooker and cook.
Grandma looked at the beans in the pot and said:
"Hey, these guys bought the wrong beans."
After saying that, grandma clapped her hands regretfully.
I regret that I didn’t follow up and buy it.
Yun Xi looked at the beans in the pot, picked them up and looked at them, and thought of a little trick to get the beans out of the sand.
Yunxi poured the beans into the pressure cooker and said while pouring:
"You can add 3 grams of alkaline noodles, which will allow the beans to come out quickly and make the bean paste look redder."
Yun Xi said as he poured alkaline noodles into the pot.
Then add water to the pressure cooker until the beans are covered with water and ready to cook.
Grandma looked at Yun Xi and suddenly realized:
"That's right, add alkaline noodles, that's it."
Yun Xi looked at her grandma following her. It seemed that if she couldn't cook anything today, her grandma would keep following her.
Yun Xi is still thinking about the recipes related to bean paste, pork and glutinous rice.
Yun Xi thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a recipe. She had a headache. What on earth was this unknown dish?
While Yun Xi was thinking, grandma said:
"Yunxi, I've prepared the meat. I'll go get it."
After saying that, grandma went to the refrigerator in the living room and took out a piece of meat she had prepared in advance.
Not long after grandma left, the aunt who fried the tofu said:
"Oh, come on, come on, the pot is overflowing, the pot is overflowing."
As soon as the sound came out, Yun Xi looked at the oil pan behind him, and it was almost overflowing.
If it spills and comes into contact with an open flame, it will immediately catch fire.
Just when the oil in the pot flows out immediately and hits the open flame.
Yun Xi quickly stepped forward and quickly closed the fire valve.
As soon as the open flame was turned off, the oil that overflowed the pot went out along the side of the pot.
Looking at the full pot, there are more than a dozen large meatballs placed in it.
It wasn't that the fire was too high just now, it was that the pot was too full of meatballs, and the oil overflowed the pot.
The two aunties making fried tofu balls said:
"This pot is really bad. It can't hold much at all."
"Yeah, look, I just put in a few meatballs and the pan overflows. It's really bad."
"That's right, you can't put more in this pot."
The two aunts each complained that the pot was not good.
Yunxi looked at the ignorance of the two aunts and did not realize his own problem at all.
Yunxi looked at the two aunts with a serious expression and said:
"There is nothing wrong with this pot. It's just that you two are operating it wrong. I've already told you not to put more. You can only put 8 meatballs in one pot. You put more than double the amount."
"Aunts, this is a frying pan. Don't be careless. If the fire started just now, you two might not be able to run away. This is very dangerous. If you don't want to do it, you can just say, let's switch to someone else. Don't do it.
Ignore these things."
Yun Xi was speechless now. If the oil in this pot had just spilled out of the pot, the food would have been wasted at most. This is a trivial matter.
If the skin is burned, the consequences will be disastrous.
What made Yun Xi angry was that the two aunts didn't take it seriously. For the sake of quick convenience, they put in so many meatballs and complained that the pot was too small.
All dangers are caused by illegal operation and carelessness.
