Chapter 5 The golden section siu mai! (Please recommend for collection!)
"The world is divided into yin and yang, and the world has light and shadow."
At some point, Mr. Yu, who should have left, reappeared in the Xingping Hotel, and expressed emotion that Xingping Chuangzhen couldn't understand.
And Xing Pingcheng Ichiro, who has the name of Shura, finally couldn't help but look serious when he saw Mrs. Yu.
"Master Yu Laogong, why did he suddenly master the sacrificial technique?"
Yu Laogong's face is like a mafia boss, with four scars on each side, but it adds to his mighty demeanor.
"How does the old man know?"
"If I didn't suddenly feel the breath of the sacrificial ceremony, the old man would not have rushed here. I thought it was you who made a breakthrough again."
A strange old man, who seems to be very familiar with his father, but to Xingping Chuangzhen, he is a stranger he has never seen before.
"Daddy"
As soon as he was about to ask, Mrs. Yu turned around and looked at Xing Ping Chuangzhen. That extremely majestic face looked at him, even with Xing Ping Chuangzhen's personality, he couldn't help being shocked. Jump.
"Ichiro, your son's aptitude is indeed not bad, not much worse than yours!"
Just when Mrs. Yu was about to open his mouth, Zhao Youqian had reached the final step of adjusting the meat filling. Two chopsticks were pushed into the meat filling, and the onion and ginger water kneaded with scallion and ginger was continuously stirred step by step and mixed into the meat. stuffing.
"This is water? Why do you use this method to make siu mai?"
Yu Husband is not a person without vision.
Instead, he probably has a wider knowledge of the craft than many grand chefs.
Listening to the sound of Zhao Youqian stirring continuously in one direction, watching the minced meat absorb all the onion and ginger water bit by bit, the pink minced meat has become more crystal clear, as if coated with a layer of sparkle. Like sparkling water.
The so-called water extraction is to inject water into the meat in order to make the meat more tender and juicy when cooking.
It is generally used in pasta fillings such as quick stir-fry or dumplings.
But this practice is really rare for siu mai that doesn't wrap around the mouth.
If it was normal, Zhao Youqian would definitely not be able to help explaining what he was proud of when he heard this kind of questioning, but it is a pity that this is the first time he has fallen into a sacrificial state, and Zhao Youqian has not yet fully grasped this feeling, so naturally he dare not open his mouth to break it this state.
Fortunately, they have a former delicious pioneer by their side, a terrifying man called "Sura" by the East Yingzhou culinary circle.
"Not all siu mai do not use this method. In the northwest of Yaozhou, there is something called whole meat siu mai. It relies purely on beef and mutton to make meat stuffing, so it needs to use the method of fetching water. When you bite open the siu mai , the wild umami of beef and mutton bursts out in the mouth with the hot juice!"
As if a violent umami tornado appeared in front of his eyes, Kohei Joichiro showed a look of fascination.
"That fiery feeling is hard for me to forget even now!"
Looking at Zhao Youqian who had already prepared the meat stuffing and started to process the eggs and vegetables, Seiichiro didn't stay any longer, but joined the kitchen on the other side.
He knew that if he didn't do it again, he might really be defeated by Zhao Youqian.
Shura in the culinary world, when did he admit defeat?
Feeling the sudden change of his father's aura, Xing Ping Chuangzhen only felt terrified, and he could only feel his father's temperament every time he argued about whose cooking was worse.
Why suddenly now?
"Boy of the Xinghei family, look out!"
He was holding a cane in his hand, but Mr. Yu's majestic appearance didn't seem to require the help of a cane?
The wooden crutch fell on Xing Ping Chuangzhen, but Xing Ping Chuangzhen's shoulders suddenly sank, as if he was carrying dozens of catties of rice, his heels were a little unstable.
"Sura in the culinary world is going all out, and I haven't seen it for many years!"
Before he had time to think about why a wooden crutch was so heavy, Xing Ping Chuangzhen turned his head and looked at the old man who was already exuding an aura that seemed to be surrounded by flames.
Just dropping the knife for the first time has already grabbed everyone's attention!
"Da da da!"
The sound of cutting and matching is as urgent as a shower, like heavy rain falling on the plate, but it is crisp and clean.
With just a few strokes, all the ingredients have been completely processed.
The light fluorescence emanating from the ingredients is obviously a symbol that the energy has been fully activated.
It seems that there is already an extremely attractive and strange fragrance coming out of the raw ingredients alone. With Seiichiro Kami's expression of controlling everything, the fiery enthusiasm of being completely devoted to cooking can almost infect everyone.
But what is even more surprising is that under such a powerful aura, even ordinary super chefs would never be able to hold a knife, but Zhao Youqian still carried out the movements of his hands in an orderly manner, with a vague sense of detachment Rhythm.
I don't know when a piece of dough began to float in Zhao Youqian's hand, like a ball full of elasticity, swinging back and forth between the two palms.
Among the flour flying all over the sky, Zhao Youqian's eyes became more and more clear.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, followed by rubbing, pulling, stretching, and falling.
The dough was quickly kneaded into balls of different sizes, and then a thin and translucent dough appeared.
No matter what kind of siu mai you make, whether it’s Cantonese-style seafood flavor, or southern glutinous rice and lard siu mai, or even Northwest meat stuffed siu mai, the most important thing is the dough.
Thin as a cicada's wings is the basic, but also a certain degree of flexibility must be taken into account, so as to be able to wrap the thick interior, and will not be damaged due to high-temperature cooking.
The Cantonese style will put some alkali into it, so it will often show a yellow color, and the Cantonese style stuffing with seafood is also the best match for this kind of dough, but the recipe that Zhao Youqian wants to restore is that Yaozhou was famous hundreds of years ago. A classic dish.
Although it has been lost, the few words that have been handed down are also known to people. In addition to the proportion of fillings, the special dough is also the key.
Sensing the formation of a strange aroma, and seeing Zhao Youqian closing his eyes after putting the wrapped siu mai into the steamer, Mr. Yu let out a long breath.
'I just don't know if this level of cooking has been mastered by Yugan kid, or just made a breakthrough, if it's the latter.'
Yu Laogong can no longer describe Zhao Youqian's terrifying potential, which is a talent he has never seen before.
He would not know, because a piece of snake jade he gave away at random directly caused Zhao Youqian's current breakthrough.
As time passed, a restrained but seductive fragrance slowly drifted out.
Zhao Youqian, who had gradually withdrawn from the sacrificial state, also recovered his flexible eyes.
The white water vapor dyed the kitchen into a fairyland, and the aroma gradually became stronger!
There was a bang.
Zhao Youqian extinguished the fire, and brought the steamer in front of Yu Laogong and Xingping Chuangzhen.
“Golden ratio siu mai!”
"Please taste!"
As soon as the lantern was lifted, a faint golden radiance flashed away, as if it was an illusion, but it completely attracted everyone present!
"This is?"
Just inside the Asama Shrine, the great priest who was about to take a rest had not taken off his clothes, suddenly his face changed, and he looked towards the Kyoto Imperial Commercial Street!
At the same time, the ghosts, who were supposed to stay quietly in the shadows, seemed to have gone mad, and started rushing towards Xingping Hotel
