Chapter 175 Xiao Long Bao and Rose Balsamic Vinegar(1/2)

After the onion and ginger sauce is made, it is time to process the meat filling.

Chen Chong brought the basin containing meat foam to his body, and put white sugar, pepper and salt in a ratio of 1:5:2:7.

That is, one pound of meat corresponds to five grams of white sugar, two grams of pepper powder, and seven grams of salt.

Then add two spoons of rice wine, stir in the same direction with chopsticks, and pour in the prepared green onion and ginger juice in the middle of the process, and continue to stir until the meat is completely tightened in one direction and you can clearly feel a sticky pulling force, add a spoonful of sesame oil and stir evenly.

The mixing of meat filling is over. Wait until the dough is ready and you can start wrapping.

"Boss, is this OK?" Bingzi pointed to the dense dough.

"Hey, so fast?" Chen Chong was surprised.

"You have already made the most difficult 'kneading', but the others are quite simple." Bingzi smiled.

"Too."

Chen Chong walked to the side of the Ice Corpse, who consciously gave up half of his body and quietly squeezed to the side to observe.

Chen Chong did not feel any discomfort in this, but instead felt that it was a little more friendly.

"I will first demonstrate how to roll the dough, and then I will give it to you. I have to make the dipping sauce, which is a bit troublesome."

"Oh." Bingzi nodded, and at the same time, he looked at Chen Chong's side face without any trace. The tough and clear outline was full of seriousness.

She was obsessed with watching it.

Although he clearly said that he was teaching himself how to do it, all the difficult steps were completed by the other party, and he was obviously trying to help him simplify what he was about to face.

She really...attentive. She thought.

Chen Chong naturally didn't know what Bingzi was thinking, so he picked up a small dough and said, "Here, like me, roll the dough into a ball, put it on the cutting board and press it into a round cake shape with the outer edge of his palm.

Then pinch the upper end of the round cake with one hand and press the rolling pin with the other hand to roll the dough from bottom to top. Without completely rolling, it is about two-thirds of the rolling. It is enough to almost touch the fingers that hold the dough cake, and then roll back to the edge. This way, it is considered a complete one."

"But, the one you pinched your fingers didn't roll." Ice Corps' delicate chin was pressed on Chen Chong's arm at some point.

"Please look." Chen Chong slowed down his movements. "After rolling back and forth, this hand, right, is to pinch the dough cake, gently rotate the dough cake 45 degrees to the outside, and then repeat the steps you just rolled until the dough cake is thin and round. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Ice Corpse nodded.

"Well, as long as you are familiar with the skills, your movements will get faster and faster. Now, I'll leave it to you." Chen Chong handed the rolling pin to the other party, and walked to the side of the stove himself.

Calculate the time, the soup ingredients in the pot should be almost the same.

Click.

Turn off the natural gas, filter out all the remaining ingredients in the pot, and pour the soup into a plastic lunch box to cool the soup and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate.

The reason why plastic boxes are used is mainly because porcelain or glass containers may break when converting between high and low temperatures, which can easily cause injuries.

"Boss, do you need Bingbing to freeze it?" Bingzi suggested.

"No, wait until it slowly becomes dry, because there is still a lot of heat inside that needs to evaporate, otherwise the soup will not solidify at low temperatures." Chen Chong replied with a smile.

"Oh." Bingzi stopped talking and continued rolling the dough.

However, what surprised Chen Chong was that after only three or four pieces of dough, the speed changed significantly. It was wrong. The speed was not accurate. To be precise, it should be that the proficiency of the technique was getting higher and higher! The dough cakes were turning faster and faster in her hands, and there were probably less than twenty pieces of them, and the efficiency would have a qualitative leap.

After completely relieved, he began to make the last thing, dipping sauce!

Originally, ordinary dipping sauce was vinegar, and at most some shredded ginger was added to soak. However, the special small bun was not ordinary, so its dipping sauce was not ordinary vinegar!

Chen Chong took out a black bag of roses in the freezer, and there were many.

This kind of rose is different from the roses in the flower shop. It is edible, and it just so happens that Longjiang is rich in edible roses.

Of course, if you can't buy edible roses, you should have one in Chinese medicine stores, but most of them are dried goods after being dried, and the freshness is very low. In addition, you can also buy online, just need to wait for a day or two.

"I just said that the kitchen today has a strange smell, it turns out to be the fragrance of roses." Bingzi showed his little daughter's expression, obviously attracted the attention of these beautiful and bright roses, "Are you going to decorate the restaurant?"

"No, I want to make it into rose sauce!" When Chen Chong spoke, he was already cutting off the flower buds with scissors without any emotion. He saw that the ice corpse was about to speak but stopped, and in the end he did not make any objection.

Seeing this, Chen Chong shook his head helplessly, pulled out one from it and handed it to the other party, "If you want it, just say it clearly, let me give you one."

"Hehe, thank you, boss." The ice corpse happily took it, then pinched off a large piece of rhizome, and blew a foggy ice fog at the flower bud, and the roses bloomed directly.

She watched it without stopping, carefully stuck it on her right ear, and just like a hair clip, she lifted the hair on the right side.

"Is Bingbing good-looking?" Bingzi giggled.

Chen Chong's eyes showed a look of surprise. The other party's fair skin, water-blue eyes, and this beautiful red rose were really beautiful, with a bit of holy flavor.

"It's pretty...it's pretty." He stammered, not daring to look at it too much, so as not to cut his fingers, which would be completely embarrassing.



Three minutes later, Chen Chong put all the cut buds into an iron basin, soaked them in water, and cleaned them. Then he took them out and sucked them dry with a kitchen tissue. Then he found an unnecessary cardboard box and slid them open in the restaurant front hall where there was sunlight. Finally, he placed all the buds on them and dried them.

Kitchen tissues can only suck the water marks on the surface, but the moisture in the buds still exists.

Fortunately, it is too easy to dry flowers in this season, and it can be basically done with just one cigarette. During this period, Chen Chong even took the time to run to Mr. Luo’s small shop and bought a lot of ice cream. He then scalded a larger glass bottle with boiling water and drained it in the sun.

After leisurely eating a box of taro-flavored ice cream, Chen Chong put the roses and glass bottles on the cardboard into the kitchen, and picked all the petals one by one and put them in a dry iron basin.

As for the flower stems and stamens, they were cruelly thrown into the trash can.

After all this trouble, the fragrance of roses in the kitchen became even heavier, and even Chen Chong's hands were filled with flowers. If you didn't look at people, you would think that this fragrance came from a mature woman!

Why not a little girl...

Because red rose represents enthusiasm, initiative, passion, and all adjectives have offensive meanings, the little girl is very restrained, implicit, simple, and completely inappropriate.

After all the petals were picked, Chen Chong took out a can of newly bought sugar and poured it into the basin at a specific gravity of 1:1. It is worth mentioning that sugar is sugar and sugar is sugar. The two seem to be the same, but there is a very obvious difference.

The crystalline particles of sugar are larger, contain less moisture and melt slowly, and are suitable for making sauces or pastries; the crystalline particles of sugar are smaller, contain more moisture and melt faster, and are more suitable for cold dishes or direct consumption.

Chen Chong brought disposable gloves and rubbed them slowly to blend the petals with sugar. There are two points to pay attention to in this process. One is to use force to crush the petals until dark; the other is to not get wet, otherwise it will affect the fermentation later, so he will wear gloves to prevent sweating in his palms.

Any food that needs fermentation must be avoided with water, otherwise it may cause mold in the food.

As Chen Chong kept rubbing, the roses in the pot became smaller and tighter, and when purple liquid could be seen at the bottom, it was almost done.

Finally, put the roses into a glass bottle, pour one centimeter of honey on the surface, cover it with a lid and put it in a cool place to ferment it slowly.

Of course, the longer the fermentation time, the more mellow the taste.

Speaking of fermentation, Chen Chong naturally didn't need to wait. He opened the [Doom Game] and found the card of the earthen pottery jar in the [Props Warehouse], directly consumed 500 of the doom value and turned on 24 hours of full state energy.

"After that being said, the amount of Legend Douban Ershe is not much, so I have to take the time to make another batch."

Chen Chong licked his mouth and put the glass bottle containing rose sauce into the gap in the earthenware jar.

According to common sense, the longer the fermentation time becomes, the more mellow it becomes. However, as a dipping sauce for special Xiaolongbao, it only serves as an auxiliary role. Chen Chong doesn't want its taste to overestimate the main one.

Therefore, after fermenting for about ten minutes, almost a month in the real time, he quickly shook the earthen clay pot, took out the rose sauce, and found a cardboard to seal the mouth of the earthen clay pot and the gap in his stomach so that he would not fall into anything again, and consume the remaining time without any notice.

Click.

Unscrew the bottle cap and a rose sauce aroma that was precipitated by time and was so rich that it could not be melted came to my face, which made Chen Chong dizzy!

"Is this rose sauce?" Bingzi put down the work at hand and came to check it out. He was also deeply attracted by the fragrance and wanted to pierce his head into the bottle.

At this moment, the small kitchen has almost become a sea of ​​roses!

Chen Chong dipped a little with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The rich rose fragrance instantly filled the entire mouth, and the drop of liquid melted on the tip of his tongue, turning into an extremely wonderful mellow and sweet wandering on the tip of his tongue.

This rose sauce is perfect!

"Boss, although this thing looks delicious, if it is used as dipping sauce, will it be a little less?" Bingzi tilted his head and asked in confusion.

If guests can’t just give one drop in one bag when eating the small bun, then if they shake their hands, they will disappear?

"Don't worry, the dipping sauce for the special Xiaolongbao is called 'rose balsamic vinegar', and rose sauce is just a ingredient of it." Chen Chong smiled, "And this rose sauce has many uses. It can not only be eaten directly, but also made into tea, but also made into other foods! It has the effect of beauty and beauty."

"That's really a good thing." Ice Corpse nodded.

"Okay, go roll the dough quickly."

Chen Chong waved his hand, took the rose sauce and returned to the table. He took a large bowl from under the table, poured half a bowl of aged vinegar into it, and then soaked it in fennel, cinnamon and bay leaves.

This process takes thirty minutes.

But he didn't have time to take out the skin frozen he had put in from the freezer.

After this period of freezing, the skin frozen has solidified, and the appearance is no different from the jelly. Only by smelling it closely can you smell the faint smell of chicken juice.

Instead of pouring it out, he cut a small half with a knife and refrigerated the rest in the refrigerator so as not to be left outside for too long and there would be signs of melting.

After quickly cutting the crust into small particles, Chen Chong picked up a thin piece of skin and placed it on the front of his palm. He used chopsticks to pick up some meat filling and put it in the middle of the dough. Then he took a cube of crust and put it on the meat filling and slightly compacted it, and then began the final wrapping.

"Bingbing, when making buns, pinch the edge of the dough with your thumb and index fingers, and keep the distance between them about one centimeter.

Then use the thumb and index finger of the hand holding the dough to the outside, and the thumb and index finger of the other hand to the inside, press a wrinkle out of the edge of the dough to the outside, and then use the index finger on the free side to press the wrinkle, so that the thumb and index finger of the hand holding the dough to retreat at the same distance, that is, about one centimeter, and then continue to repeat the previous movement."

This requires patience, and Chen Chong pinched it very carefully. After all, the special small bun is very small, even a circle smaller than a table tennis ball.

"After all the wrinkles are pinched, pinch the last wrinkle edge and rotate it in the direction of the wrinkles, compact it, and completely seal the filling in the dough without leaving a trace of gap. Well, this is the finished product."

"So beautiful, I can't bear to eat it." Ice corpse blinked his big eyes.

Chen Chong shook his head, "This is the effect before the steamer is put on. After steaming, the outer skin of the Xiaolongbao will soften and penetrate, and the soup inside will sink to the bottom after melting. At that time, it will turn into a triangular cone, which is not as good-looking as it is now."

"That's very exquisite." Bingzi didn't agree with the former's aesthetic view, but he couldn't argue with it. After seeing that all the dough was rolled out, she consciously joined the buns.
