Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 116
But right.

If you want to make this dish, you must first have goose breast. As the name suggests, goose breast is the breast of a goose.

Old guesses why goose was used instead of duck and chicken

Probably because the breast of the goose will be bigger and the meat quality will be better.

But because there was no goose breast on hand, and because the old age didn't tell me in advance, Brother Liu didn't give it away in the morning.

Even if you want to try, you can only wait until tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian quickly picked up his mobile phone and sent Brother Liu a WeChat message.

Explain that I want a goose tomorrow, and then I want five or six goose breasts.

The reason for this is that if you buy goose breasts separately, the frozen ones are not fresh enough. If you buy a goose, the goose must have been freshly killed.

Freshly killed geese are used by Chen Nian to try to remove the meat from the goose himself.

And those frozen ones are aged to practice making this dish.

It's just that the time tonight can't be wasted. After thinking about it, Chen Nian plans to try to make breakfast.

I have already thought about what kind of aging will be launched in the morning. In addition to sweet porridge, aging also plans to launch tofu nao, soy milk and fried dough sticks.

None of this takes much time.

And if you soak the soybeans one day in advance, it won't take much time the next day.

Moreover, there are many neighbors and people working in my neighborhood, but there are basically no breakfast shops on this street.

Even if there are some fast food such as hand-cooked pancakes and egg-filled pancakes with push carts, although they also have soy milk and milk, but those are ready-made products made in advance.

Forget about old age, if you open your own breakfast shop, the business will definitely be very good.

As a result, there may be some problems in the hands of people.

However, the problem of manpower is that you can spend money to hire someone. If you only sell breakfast, it is estimated that 2000 yuan will be enough to find an aunt nearby, or ask your mother to help.

But those are a bit far away, it is more reliable to make the food first.

But with the current conditions of Chen Nian, he can only try fried dough sticks first.

Fried dough sticks are actually simple, the main thing is to reconcile the noodles.

Fried dough sticks are a kind of food that is widely spread among the people, and there is little difference in the production methods between the north and the south.

So Chen Nian decided to search the Internet.

Although the old age knows that the fried dough sticks and noodles are the most important, so that the fried dough sticks can expand, and the outside is crispy and the inside is soft.

Just like the tsundere blonde in Japanese manga.

Although it looks a bit indifferent on the outside, as long as you touch it, you will know that the hardness is just a protective shell that wants to refuse and welcome. In fact, it is really soft inside. Once the thin armor on the outside is cracked, you can feel it. to the beauty within.

Just a little bit away from trying and knowing and you can't get enough of that feeling.

But even if you know this, if you just want to study it yourself, it will take some effort to make fried dough sticks.

After all, for me, I don't know the theory and I don't know how to practice it, and I don't know much about the ratio of materials.

So if there are ready-made homework, it must be copied online.

But how can this be called plagiarism for a chef?
Since they posted this online, it must be there for people to watch and learn from.

This is called normal industry communication.

So Chen Nian turned on his mobile phone to surf the Internet, and directly entered [the most delicious self-service deep-fried dough sticks].

As a result, thousands of related videos came out directly, and Chen Nian probably scrolled down, and the title of each one said that his fried dough sticks were the best.

Cut, headline party.

This made it difficult for Chen Nian, but he found that the videos were actually ranked according to popularity.

Instead of deleting the previous information after aging like this, simply enter the three words fried dough sticks.

Sure enough, more related videos came out this time, and Chen Nian saw that Miao Miao Wu ranked first.

When Miao Miaowu posted the video before, Chen Nian had watched some of Miao Miaowu's previous videos.

At that time, he knew that Miao Miaowu was not only doing food exploration, but also often made some dishes by himself.

And those dishes are basically time-consuming and skill-testing to make, but this is not of high value for the restaurant owner to try.

Because those are usually not very cost-effective.

Unless you open a snack bar yourself, then only two or three of them are sold in the store.

So Chen Nian watched some and then stopped watching.

But looking at the time of Miaomiaowu's related video again, Chen Nian found that it was actually 4 years ago.

Subconsciously clicked on this video, and saw that Miao Miao Wu in the video was still a little immature.

And it seems to be much thinner than it is now.

Presumably this is the early work of Miao Miao Wu.

Through this video, Chen Nian can see that in Miao Miaowu's early works, her production process and the things she used were not complicated.

Basically it is flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, yeast and cooking oil.

The whole video didn't take long. Chen Nian kept watching and found that Miao Miaowu's fritters made by her own method looked very good.

Listening to the crunchy sound of the deep-fried dough sticks in the mouth of the other party in the video, and watching the state of the deep-fried dough sticks when the other party bites, as well as the structure inside, it is indeed very good.

The only thing that seems to be a little bit flawed is that the technique does not seem so sophisticated when meeting.

But overall it's pretty good.

In addition, the materials in the video are all available in the store now, so Chen Nian began to try the method in this.

Aging starts by putting all the dry ingredients on a plate.

Then pour warm water and put it in several times.

At the same time, knead the dough skillfully with your hands until the dough is three-light, and the surface is light and the hand is light.

That is, the dough does not stick to the hands or the basin.

This is a basic skill in kneading noodles. The main thing is to look at the ratio of water and noodles. If there is more water and less noodles, it will be easy to stick, and if there is less water and more noodles, it will be difficult to aggregate.

However, this technique belongs to "sprinkling water" for aging.

You can achieve the state of Sanguang by making noodles with your hands.

After finishing all this, he waited for the dough to ferment, but it took a long time for the dough to ferment, and Chen Nian couldn't wait here from night to early morning, so he probably made an estimate in his heart.

Then cover the dough with a cloth and put it in the refrigerator together with the basin.

After doing this, I went home and went to sleep.

But until Chen Nian arrived home, he did not receive a reply from Brother Liu.

This made Chen Nian wonder if it was because Brother Liu went to bed early, so he didn't see his message and didn't reply.

It doesn't matter though.

Don’t worry about the goose breast. It’s the same if you try it later. Now that it’s aged, I still plan to make the fritters first.
