Chapter 131: Dare to think, dare to do
The skin of Xiao Long Bao is thin, so you have to be careful when pinching it, otherwise the skin will break easily and the soup inside will leak out and be wasted.
But unexpectedly, Ye Huasong had already prepared a spoon to take it, only to find that the skin of the steamed dumplings seemed to be elastic.
With the naked eye, you can see that the soup inside the Xiao Long Bao is very full, and the skin of the Xiao Long Bao is falling down with the filling.
Just when everyone thought the skin was about to burst, they didn't expect that the skin of the xiaolongbao was like a balloon holding water, full of elasticity yet very strong.
"You little dumpling skin..." Ye Huasong looked at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei smiled and explained: "I added a small amount of flour and starch to ordinary flour."
"No wonder." Guo Wenbo understood clearly, "Chengfen and starch are the materials used to make crystal shrimp dumpling skins. The shrimp dumpling skins made are crystal clear and full of elasticity."
“But if it were used as the skin of Xiao Long Bao, I was worried that it would be too elastic and lose the original taste and flavor of Xiao Long Bao, so I only added a small amount to increase the elasticity and toughness of the skin without making it too elastic.
Even if it is too strong, the dough still has its own stickiness and fragrance." Ye Fei explained.
"That's a great idea of yours!" Luo Jialin praised, "Did you just think of it?"
Ye Fei nodded: "However, because it was my first attempt, I was afraid that the time was too tight and I couldn't grasp the proportion, so for the sake of safety, I only put a small amount. After I go back, I will try to adjust the best proportion."
Gu Changfeng nodded approvingly: "Not bad, dare to think and dare to do."
Ye Fei is still very affectionate towards Gu Changfeng.
After all, I had a delicious lunch.
However, although Gu Changfeng prepared lunch for Zhao Gushen every day at noon, he didn't know that all his lunch went into Ye Fei's stomach.
"I'm looking forward to the finished product after you adjust the proportions. I think the ideal proportion should make the dough whiter and more translucent, without taking away the limelight from the traditional dough and destroying the original taste," Rowell said.
Ye Huasong used chopsticks to prick the steamed dumplings, and the soup inside flowed out.
"This has more soup than the Xiao Long Bao we usually eat," Ye Huasong said.
She did not add vinegar or shredded ginger and tasted the original taste of the soup.
"What was added to the soup? It has a fresh and sweet taste." Guo Wenbo was surprised.
Without waiting for Ye Fei to answer, she quickly took another bite of Xiao Long Bao.
However, the fillings that have always been wrapped in soup are really hot. I am so experienced that I forgot about this at this time, and ended up burning my tongue.
"If you are in a hurry, you can't eat it slowly." Gu Changfeng complained with a smile, and took a bite first.
"This stuffing..." Gu Changfeng tasted it carefully, "it tastes like beef, but it also tastes like seafood, like shrimp..."
"I just saw you getting the ingredients, including shrimp and crab," Rowell said.
Ye Fei nodded: "For the meat filling, I used beef and pork. The beef itself didn't have enough fat and the texture was not soft and juicy, so I added pork, especially the pork belly part. I used pork belly and pork belly.
The beef is fused. The fibers of the hand-pulled meat are more delicate and elastic."
"Then I added crab roe and crab meat to the shrimp paste. In this way, the soup will burst more and the filling will taste fresher and sweeter."
"Did you add vinegar to it?" Luo Jialin asked.
