Chapter 165 Where Are You Offering Khatas Here?Make crab roe soup dumplings! 【Ask monthly ticket】

"So... you went around and wanted to eat crabs?"

Xie Baomin's expression narrowed, and he felt that the behavior of his junior was a little funny.

If you want to eat, just say it, do you need to go around in circles?
Lin Xu shook his head:

"I don't want to eat it, but I want to use it... I promised Yueyue to make crab roe buns for her a few days ago, but I haven't made time for it. Now I see these crabs and I think about it."

"Can you make crab roe buns?"

"I know a little bit."

Lin Xu has stuffing techniques, noodle kneading techniques, stuffing techniques, and the experience of excellent raw fried soup dumplings as a basis, and he can indeed make crab roe soup dumplings.

It's just that the process of crab roe buns is more difficult than that of fried buns.

For example, the skin jelly to be added to the stuffing cannot be boiled with ordinary water, but needs to be boiled in thick chicken soup. After boiling, the pigskin must be broken and added to the soup.

This kind of skin jelly is wrapped in soup dumplings to produce that rich and delicious soup.

In addition, the skin of the crab roe bun is not made by ordinary kneading techniques.

Instead, knead the dough with more than half of boiling water and hot noodles and less than half of cold water and dead noodles, so that the noodles can be stretched greatly while maintaining sufficient gluten.

In "Bite of the Tongue", you can use the noodles of crab roe soup dumplings as a balloon to blow up, which refers to this kind of noodles.

Xie Baomin saw that his younger brother didn't look like he was joking, so he picked up a net and fished out five or six big crabs from the pond, and asked:

"Is it enough?"

"Enough is enough... But brother, can you put it back first? I haven't boiled the jelly yet."

This brother is more impatient than I imagined.

"Yes, I forgot that crab roe soup dumplings need skin jelly... It seems that chicken soup skin jelly should be used, right? Then go prepare it, and just fish when you want to use crabs."

After speaking, Xie Baomin threw the crabs from the net into the pond.

A few crabs that escaped death quickly swam away.

Use practical actions to prove that you are not drowned.

Returning to his stove, Lin Xu ordered some raw pig skins, put them in a pot with onion and ginger cooking wine and boiled them for a while, then put them on the chopping board, and scraped off the impurities and grease on the pig skins with a kitchen knife.

After scraping, wash it twice with hot water.

Then he carried a soup pot and wandered to the cooking room to ask for chicken soup:
"Do you have chicken broth? I'll probably use half the pot."

The cook who was in charge of making the soup saw Lin Xu and immediately said:

"Yes, yes, Master Lin, do you want clear chicken soup or thick chicken soup?"

I go!

As expected of Diaoyutai, there are two types of chicken soup.

This is simply a paradise for food creators!

"Thick chicken soup will do."

The cooks took the pot and went in to fill half of the pot.

Lin Xu carried it back to his stove, put the pigskin into the chicken broth, then put in a shallot knot and a few slices of ginger, brought it to a boil and then turned to low heat to simmer.

It's a slow process.

But Lin Xu is not in a hurry, because crab roe soup dumplings cannot be delivered by running errands, they need to be steamed and eaten right away, so the best way is to wait for Shen Jiayue to come over to eat after get off work.

If steaming at that time, there is more than enough time.

"Master Lin, there is a guest who ordered your dishes. Come to eat at [-]:[-] in the morning. If you need to prepare, you can prepare it in advance. Don't miss the guest's meal time."

As soon as the fire on the stove was turned down, the head chef in charge of this area came to inform with an order form.

Lin Xu took it over and looked at it. It was a copy of "Home", but the price of Diaoyutai was actually 699 yuan a copy, and this was a surprise early adopter price...

No wonder Wei Gan thinks the seaweed and egg drop soup in the store is cheap.

At this price, there are basically two worlds.

"Junior brother, it's different when you come here. It's only been a while and you've already booked several tables."

Xie Baomin was very happy.

Unexpectedly, the younger brother's business in Building No. [-] started to improve as soon as he started work.

That’s not my credit, it’s someone else’s ability, and you’ve got it right on Diaoyutai… Lin Xu murmured in his heart, just as he was about to get the ingredients for “Family”, Xie Baomin said again:
"Let's start making it later. Let everyone learn by making two dishes first. You can also explain the essentials of making this dish, especially the dragon beard crisp. Many people in the back kitchen have never touched it..."

Lin Xu didn't refuse either.

Get the ingredients and make them.

Because it was a competition last time, he did a relatively large portion.

But now to make dessert dishes in the store, the portion has to be more delicate, so Lin Xu adjusted the way of placing them, the shape of the bird's nest is more unique, and it looks more attractive.

There are many famous chefs in Building No. [-].

When we first started boiling sugar, everyone was somewhat bored.

But when Lin Xu took the sugar that was still hot in the pot and started making dragon beard crisps, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

As expected of Master Lin.

Hands are not afraid of being so hot.

The culinary world respects strength.

Not afraid of being hot is a manifestation of strength.

Seeing Lin Xu skillfully pulling the dragon beard crisps, they were also a little eager to try, and they always felt that the dragon beard crisps were very similar to the dragon beard noodles.

The so-called longxu noodles are noodles pulled to a very thin state.

This kind of noodles will be cooked after being boiled in water, which is very suitable for the elderly or children.

Lin Xu boiled a lot of sugar today.

Just used a small dollop of it.

When he finished the dragon beard crisps, the other chefs couldn't hold back immediately, grabbed a small ball of sugar that was still hot, and followed Lin Xu's example just now.

Knead the sugar into long strips, then butt the two ends together to make a bracelet.

Then slowly pull the bracelet apart to the maximum state.

Then set it into a double ring and continue to pull...

However, when they suddenly come across this kind of street food that is often seen in scenic spots or food streets, they still feel somewhat unsure.

Either the force was too great and the ring was torn off, or the sugar that was slightly pulled apart was cooled and hardened by forgetting to pass it over the hot glutinous rice flour.

"Pull along the strength, don't pull hard."

"When the temperature drops, bury it in glutinous rice flour and cover it, don't pull it hard if it can't move."

"The temperature drops faster the further you go, and every time you pull it, you have to pass it in the glutinous rice flour to keep the sugar hot, which saves effort."

Seeing everyone's interest, Lin Xu began to point out seriously.

Dragon Beard Crisp is an interesting snack. People who know how to make it know how to keep the sugar warm and soft, and it doesn’t take much effort to pull it from the beginning to the end.

But those who don't understand will either break it early.

Or use all the energy of breastfeeding, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

While everyone was working, Wei Gan from Building No. [-] next door heard that Lin Xu was coming to work, so he came over to drop by. As soon as he entered the back kitchen, he saw a group of chefs surrounding Lin Xu and pulling white things.

Seeing him suddenly stunned:
"Where are you offering hada here?"

When he got closer, he saw that it was Longxusu.

I picked up the order list next to me and looked at it. Sure enough, someone ordered Lin Xu's original dish.

It opened as soon as I got to work, no wonder everyone followed suit.

Wei Gang just wanted to say hello.

The chef not far away shouted at Lin Xu again:
"Add two copies of "Family", one at twelve o'clock sharp, and the other at twelve twenty, Master Lin has worked hard!"

Lin Xu: "..."

It's hard work for only three servings, and you really don't have much pressure in the back kitchen.

If you want to put Lin Kee food, three dishes are nothing, and it's not even worth shouting loudly.

"Hey, there are three copies, Master Lin is amazing."

"That's right, it's rare that three servings of this type of dessert are ordered so quickly."

"I must have heard that Master Lin is here today, and everyone has come to have a taste."

"..."

The chefs were busy making dragon beard crisps while whispering to each other, Lin Xu was very happy to hear that there must be more than three servings today.

really.

While he was chatting with Wei Gan while holding a teacup.

Two more reservations.

In addition to "Home" made by Lin Xu, other chefs' specialty dishes have also been ordered by customers.

After everyone finished the dragon beard crisps, Lin Xu made caramelized pumpkin strips and baked pumpkin balls with egg yolk, and then taught everyone how to arrange them.

For the chefs of Diaoyutai, caramelized pumpkin sticks and baked pumpkin balls with egg yolk are not too difficult, and they usually cook similar dishes.

But when it comes to putting on a plate, there is something special about it.

Pay attention to the shape of the whole plate when cutting pumpkin strips. Some pumpkin strips need to be cut into curved ones, some need to be longer, and some need to be slightly thicker for support. All these need to be considered .

Lin Xu fiddled with the caramel-covered pumpkin sticks between his chopsticks, and a delicate prototype of a bird's nest appeared on the plate.

Then put the dragon whisker crisps that have been slightly shaped, and then put the pumpkin balls baked with egg yolk, and the dish is officially completed.

"My god, it's just beautiful!"

"Master Lin's craftsmanship is really amazing!"

"It's exquisite and beautiful, and the key flavors are different, amazing."

Looking at this beautiful dish, everyone admired it, then reviewed the recipe, and then returned to their respective stoves to start practicing.

Before the noon peak comes, practice two more times.

The biggest difficulty of this dish is the bird's nest made of dragon whiskers and caramelized pumpkin sticks. It can even be said that the whole dish wins by its shape.

So be sure to practice repeatedly.

Even make your own style while practicing.

Wei Gan still had to go to work, so he went back after wandering around for a while, while Lin Xu began to prepare the ingredients for lunch.

Eleven in the morning.

The pork skin in the chicken broth is already boiled.

He fished the pig skin out of the chicken broth, and removed the onion and ginger.

Cool the pigskin and break it, then put it into the chicken broth again, boil it over high heat, and skim off the foam and scattered oily flowers.

When the scum no longer floats out, turn off the heat and pour it into a basin.

Then send it to the freezer for cooling.

noon.

After Lin Xu finished the few dishes he was in charge of, he went to the aquatic product area to catch a few crabs, and then carried them to the dry steaming room.

When the kitchen assistant inside saw Lin Xu, he hurriedly said hello:

"Master Lin, is this going to use crabs?"

"Yes, I'm going to try making some crab roe buns, so I'll put them here for you guys?"

"Put it here, and I'll bring it to you after it's steamed."

Lin Xu liked it more and more.

You only need to order what you need, and you only need to do the key steps, and you can do other things at other times.

Even when the skin of the chicken soup is frozen, you can directly order the helper in the cooking room to do it.

Tsk, no wonder people go to high places, this kind of work process, I really can't experience it in a small restaurant in my life.

Back in front of his stove, he was just about to take a break.

The head chef who informed the order came over:

"Master Lin, the customers are very satisfied with the dishes you made. They hope to take a photo with you. Is it convenient for you now?"

group photo?

Lin Xu didn't expect these high-end people to have this habit of eating.

He shook his head and said:
"It's not very convenient... next time."

After opening this head, other customers will definitely ask for a group photo.

It's better to pinch it directly from the source.

The chef said with a smile:

"Okay, I will notify the front desk to answer the guests."

Restaurant reception.

After receiving the notification, Shu Yun immediately went to the dim sum room to get a dim sum, and then took it to the customer at the table who proposed to take a group photo, and said softly:
"I'm sorry everyone, our master Lin is busy in the back kitchen and has no time to spare, so he specifically asked me to deliver a small snack to everyone, and apologize to everyone."

Several customers expressed a little regret, and suggested to take a group photo next time.

They really like Lin Xu's "Family", the shape really makes people fall in love at first sight.

And they already know the story behind this dish. In such a tense competition environment, they can cook such a dish that turns defeat into victory without distraction. It is exciting to think about it.

"Master Lin, the crab is steamed, do you need to unpack it for you?"

"Oh, no, I'll do it myself."

in the kitchen.

The cook in the dry steaming room quickly delivered the steamed crabs.

Lin Xu was chatting with Shen Jiayue, asking her how her lunch was today, and subconsciously rejected the proposal from the cook in the dry steam room to help open the crabs.

Wait for the other party to leave.

He looked at the crabs on the tray and realized he couldn't tear them apart.

Just at this moment, Xie Baomin came over:

"Steamed? Do you want me to help you take it apart? Probably not, maybe your skill at removing crabs is better than mine."

Lin Xu: "..."

Brother, if you want to help, just do it directly, can I stop you or what?
But when it comes to this point, Lin Xu had to use the few remaining points to exchange for the excellent level crab demolition technique from the point mall.

Then the points bottomed out again.

He took a pair of small kitchen scissors, turned the steamed crab over, lifted it from the stomach, and removed the inedible parts such as the stomach pouch.

Then break off a crab claw, and carefully scrape the crab roe in the stomach into a bowl.

After scraping, take a small bowl and put the crab meat into it.

He disassembled it very finely, removing all the meat from the crab claws, crab legs, crab feet, etc. Xie Baomin, who was watching, was amazed:
"The Central Plains is not a crab-producing area. It stands to reason that your method of removing crabs should be very unfamiliar, but with this method, the fishermen who live by the Taihu Lake can remove it to this extent at most, right? It's amazing, junior brother!"

Lin Xu gave him a helpless look.

I don't really want to talk to you right now, brother.

It caused me to spend all the points I had, and then put it here to make sarcastic remarks. I am very good at killing people.

After dismantling all the crabs.

Lin Xu chopped the crab meat, mixed it with crab roe, and added some ginger juice.

It stands to reason that some ginger should be cut into it, but Shen Baobao doesn't like the taste of ginger, so he uses ginger juice instead.

Well, since I made it for her.

That naturally has to be seasoned around her.

After adding the ginger juice, add a little salt, light soy sauce and fine sugar for seasoning.

The steaming time of crab roe soup dumplings is usually five to eight minutes. The steaming time is very short. Putting ordinary white sugar may not melt, so fine sugar is used for seasoning.

In this way, the sugar grains can be melted with a little heating, and will be incorporated into the soup, increasing the umami taste of the soup.

In addition to granulated sugar, soft white sugar can also be used.

However, soft white sugar is easy to clump when it is put into the filling, and it is not as easy to use as fine sugar.

After adjusting the filling.

Lin Xu covered it with plastic wrap and sealed it in the freezer of the refrigerator.

Then it chopped some pork stuffing.

If there are only crab roe and crab meat in the crab roe soup dumpling, the umami taste is too strong, and it will give people a feeling of being too fresh, so some pork filling should be put in the filling to neutralize the umami taste.

And add some fragrance, so that the fresh fragrance of the stuffing can be integrated and unified.

Pork stuffing should not be too fat, three parts fat and seven parts thin is best.

After finely mincing the meat, beat it with onion and ginger water, and put it in the refrigerator as well.

Four p.m.

Lin Xu brought some high-gluten flour and started to use it with crab roe soup dumplings.

Spread the flour in a basin, then draw a Mercedes-Benz logo and divide the flour into three parts.

Then prepare a bowl of boiling water and a bowl of cold water, and stir the two bowls of water with salt.

Stir two parts of the flour with salt water to form floes, and then pick up cold water to stir the remaining part of flour into floes.

After kneading, knead it into a dough with your hands.

The dough needs to be kneaded for a while, so that the skin of the soup dumpling will have better extensibility and gluten.

Let the dough rise for half an hour.

At [-]:[-], Lin Xu brought over the solidified chicken soup skin jelly and chopped it up, and then brought the pork stuffing and crab roe stuffing.

The three fillings are mixed together.

There should be more skin jelly, so that there will be more soup.

Stir the filling into a large, trembling mass of crushed jelly.

Bring over the dough that has been fermented, and start rolling out the dough for stuffing.

The dough needed to make crab roe soup dumplings is very large, as big as a palm. It is not easy to roll it thin and even with a rolling pin, and it has to be rolled into the kind that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges.

The edge of the rolled dough should be slightly wrinkled, so that the dough meets the requirements.

Putting the dough in his hand, Lin Xu dug a big spoonful of fillings into it, then pinched the dough to tighten it up a little bit, making 32 folds.

Such a crab roe soup bag is ready.

the other side.

After returning home from get off work early, the three members of the Shen family changed their clothes, got into Shen Guofu's Bentley, and drove to Diaoyutai for dinner.

The family of three are all dressed formally. After all, they are going to have dinner at a formal occasion today, so they can't be sloppy.

Moreover, the son-in-law went to work on the first day, as a father-in-law and mother-in-law, how could he embarrass him.

"Do you still remember the crab roe buns I mentioned last time when I was eating raw pan-fried buns? Xu Bao made it for me today, no matter how it tastes, don't forget to praise him!"

Shen Jiayue sat in the back seat of the car and gave instructions to her parents.

Her words made Shen Guofu and his wife look at each other.

Did this silly girl of my family save the entire universe in her previous life?How did she meet such a boyfriend who spoiled her to the sky?
Shen Guofu said:
"Honey, after meeting the old lady in a few days, you should contact your mother-in-law and get married quickly. I'll buy it if I don't have a house. Such a good son-in-law, we must definitely take it..."
