Chapter 595 Delicious lamb stew, so enjoyable! How to mix dough with 90% water content? [Please subscribe]

In the morning, Lin Xu finished washing and came downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Last night, he brought some mutton soup and some cooked mutton from the store, preparing to make a mutton stew for breakfast.

Braised mutton is a delicacy in the Central Plains. It is made the same as braised noodles. The only difference is that instead of putting braised noodles in it, mutton, vermicelli, shredded tofu and other ingredients are stewed in mutton soup.

When eating, drizzle with chili oil and serve with freshly made pancakes. In Chinese language, it means:

"It's so exciting!"

Coming downstairs, Lin Xu first mixed some dough for making fried pancakes.

This kind of dough needs to be slightly softer, so that the sesame cakes will be delicious. You should put some baking powder in it when rising to speed up the expansion of the dough.

Add flour to salt, baking powder and baking powder to form a dough, put it in the oven, turn on the fermentation function, and put a bowl of warm water at the bottom of the oven.

The dough will rise quickly.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu added some flour, salt, and peppercorns to the bowl. After mixing evenly, he heated some hot oil in a wok and poured it over, then stirred it into a paste while it was still hot.

In this way, you will get the indispensable puff pastry in pancakes.

After adding the pastry, the sesame cake becomes crispy and crumbly, making it delicious.

Then Lin Xu soaked the vermicelli he brought from the store yesterday, fried the shredded tofu in warm water, and then took it out and soaked it in water.

Deep-frying shredded tofu can effectively remove the beany smell, and at the same time make the texture soft and crispy, making it very comfortable to chew.

It stands to reason that we should also prepare ingredients such as shredded squid to increase the umami flavor.

But this is not a stock ingredient in the store, and I am too lazy to buy it, so I am going to make do with vermicelli and shredded tofu.

But as long as there’s more mutton, it doesn’t matter what side dishes you put in it.

He cut the cooked mutton he brought into slices and placed it in a bowl. He also washed some chopped green onion and coriander, and took the two ends out of the jar to eat with sugared garlic.

Everything is ready and the noodles have swelled.

Take the basin out of the oven, apply a layer of grease on the chopping board, and grease your hands and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.

Roll out the dough slightly without kneading it, so that the biscuits can remain as soft as possible.

After rolling it out, pour all the freshly fried pastry onto the dough, pick up a ball of dough with pastry from the edge, wrap the pastry with soft dough, then place it on the chopping board and press it with the tiger's mouth of your left hand.

For dough, fold the flattened dough with your right hand and prepare to turn it in circles.

After pressing it in a circle, add white sesame seeds, place it on the chopping board again, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a cake.

Put the finished cake into the baking pan and start making the next one.

There wasn't much noodles today, so Lin Xu made a total of six sesame seed pancakes, which just fit in a small baking pan.

After placing it, place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and start baking.

When it comes to making sesame biscuits, it’s actually better to make sesame biscuits in an oven, but now conditions don’t allow it, so we can only make do with an oven.

However, as long as there is more pastry and the dough is soft enough, the pastry biscuits made in the oven will still be delicious.

After the sesame cakes were baked, Lin Xu set up the wok, poured the mutton soup he brought into the pot, brought it to a boil over high heat, and then added the cooked mutton, shredded tofu and freshly soaked vermicelli.

There are no day lily, kelp, shredded squid and other ingredients that are common in braised noodles, but there is enough mutton and the soup is fresh enough, so it smells very good.

While it was cooking, he opened the oven, took out the baking pan, turned over the puffed and slightly browned biscuits, and put them back in the oven.

At this time, the mutton in the pot is almost cooked.

He seasoned it with salt and pepper, then took the pot and poured the stewed lamb into two large bowls.

Shen Jiayue also finished washing and went downstairs.

Seeing two large bowls full of deliciously fragrant broth, I asked curiously:

"What is this? Mutton steamed buns?"

Lin Xu smiled and shook his head:

"The braised lamb from my hometown is served with sesame cakes. You can try it later and see if you like it."

"I like it, of course I do!"

Shen Jiayue said it must be delicious without even tasting it.

After all, it’s the food from Xubao’s hometown, how could it taste bad?

Bring two bowls of braised lamb to the dining table, place them with chopped coriander, minced chives, mutton oil chili, sugar garlic and other side snacks on small plates. The sesame seed cakes in the oven have also been baked.

Lin Xu opened the oven, and Shen Jiayue immediately smelled a nice smell of dough.

When the baking pan was pulled out, the sesame cakes inside were browned, with a layer of cracked burnt shell on the surface, and some debris scattered on the baking pan.

Although I didn’t use a sesame cake oven to make it, I still made qualified sesame cakes with no residue.

"Wow, this sesame seed cake looks delicious!"

Lin Xu thought this girl was going to post on WeChat Moments, but she put it on a paper towel, picked up one and ate it in small bites, eliminating the need to disinfect her phone.

"Huh? Why didn't you take a photo and post it on Moments?"

"I'm worried that Yanbao will come over to eat after seeing her... She is so greedy and clamoring to lose weight every day. If I don't intervene, she will definitely lose more and more weight."

Lin Xu laughed dumbly. Are you worried that she won't have enough to eat after she comes?

Sit down and use a spoon to scoop out a piece from the bowl of mutton oil chili and put it into the bowl.

These fats, which are usually in a solidified state, immediately turned into red fat after being put into the bowl, and the unique spicy flavor of mutton oil chili also wafted out.

Just for this appearance and good looks, it would be impossible to stop the car without two or three sesame seed cakes.

Shen Jiayue put down the sesame cakes and put some mutton oil chili into her bowl. She stirred the bowl with a spoon and asked curiously when she saw that it was full of meat:

"Xubao, how much does this bowl of mutton stew cost in my hometown?"

Lin Xu said:

"The average mutton stew only costs about 20 yuan, but no one sells a bowl like the one I made for 40 yuan."

There is a lot of meat, and it is still lamb leg meat, so the price will naturally be higher.

He picked up the shredded tofu inside with chopsticks and tasted it. Well, it was soft and crispy, and it was very delicious to chew.

It is said that some exquisite stores will specially fry mutton, so that when mixed with mutton stew or mutton stew noodles, the fresh flavor will be more intense and the taste will be more delicious.

But today I just eat it for breakfast, so there’s no need to bother.

The cooked mutton is simmered in mutton soup, and the aroma is rich. Coupled with the soft tofu shreds and smooth vermicelli, it tastes particularly enjoyable.

After eating a few bites of mutton and sesame cakes, Lin Xu peeled off the sugar and garlic and ate them together.

A bowl of mutton and two sesame seed cakes make you feel full.

Shen Jiayue ate slowly. She took a sip of mutton soup from a large bowl, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Xubao, is this sesame seed pancake easy to make? Can I learn?"

"It's not that difficult. It just needs to be mixed with soft dough, which is the kind of dough with a slightly higher water content. This is a little difficult, so you better not try it."

There are hard noodles, soft noodles, and normal noodles, and the moisture content of each kind of noodles is different.

For example, the hard noodles used for knife-cut noodles have a very low water content, so they can be cut with a knife, are resistant to cooking, and have a smooth and chewy texture.

Relatively speaking, the noodles used to make sesame cakes contain more water.

But it is precisely in this way that the sesame cakes will become soft and crumbly, and will be delicious.

If you use hard dough to make sesame cakes, they will not be soft, but will turn into Baiji buns used in mutton steamed buns, or grilled naan from the northwest, which are completely different foods from sesame cakes.

As soon as Shen Jiayue heard that it was difficult, she gave up studying.

She just wants to show off her skills in front of her cousin. If there will be batter everywhere, then forget it.

Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, went upstairs to change clothes, then put on Dundun's little bow tie, and went downstairs to the parking lot with Shen Jiayue.

The two drove away separately.

Lin Xu went to Qiu Yaozu's house and planned to trick the old man into joining the crew of "State Banquet".

Shen Jiayue took Dundun with her and continued to go to Deng Lisong's house to make jade carvings.

It's not appropriate to go to someone's house empty-handed. Passing by the Import and Export Fruit Store, Lin Xu parked the car in a parking space on the roadside and went in to buy some imported fruits.

Things like reticulated melons, Qingwang grapes and white strawberries, go to Qiu Yaozu’s house.

When he arrived, he was about to get out of the car when a white Alfa commercial vehicle stopped in front of him. The driver got out and opened the electric door.

Then he helped an old man with almost white hair get out of the car.

Lin Xu took a look and thought, wow, this is Mr. He.

Senior brother asked me to come for breakfast, and I thought the old man was eating breakfast here.

He opened the door and got out of the car, and greeted He Guangchang:
