Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

"Wow, it's finally done. It took three hours and 43 minutes. My arms are so sore... Please put 'I'm sorry for Chef Shen' on the barrage!"

Shen Jiayue rubbed her sore arm, looking at the smashed meat, she felt unreal.

Hoo hoo... I really didn't expect me to be so good, and I was actually a hidden culinary master. I knew it was not easy, and I should have been a little more embarrassing when filming the opening scene.

The meat paste on the chopping board is fluffy and delicate, and looks like glue.

This is actually the performance of hammering to the extreme. The gelatin in the meat is knocked out, and the fibers in the meat make the meat puree extremely fluffy.

This kind of meat puree is very enjoyable just from the visual point of view.

But this is not the time to appreciate it, Shen Jiayue scraped the meat into a pile with a kitchen knife, looked at the camera and said:

"Although the meat paste is pounded well, it is a pleasure, but this is only half of the work of making the meat swallow. The next step is another process, rolling the skin!"

After finishing speaking, she brought over the starch that Lin Xu had just ground. There was almost a small pot, which was enough to make meat swallows, and it could not even be used up.

"My unnamed assistant just helped me grind this. I like this kind of young man who has a job in his eyes. With such a cleverness, his wife is definitely a first-class beauty."

Chen Yan behind the camera curled her lips and couldn't help muttering in her heart:
"Bah, shameless..."

I have seen boastful ones, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of boasting. Sure enough, the bigger the bear, the thicker his skin!

After Shen Jiayue finished singing, she took the starch and sprinkled it on the chopping board next to the meat paste, spreading a thick layer.

Then use a kitchen knife to hold the meat paste and buckle it up, so that there is an extra layer of starch at the bottom of the meat paste. When rolling the skin, you don’t have to worry about the meat paste sticking to the chopping board.

Then sprinkle a layer of starch on the top of the meat puree.

She picked up a rolling pin and didn't roll it directly, but according to the method taught by Lin Xu, she held the rolling pin with both hands and pressed the meat paste bit by bit.

This is to flatten the meat paste first, which is convenient for rolling.

After lining up and pressing it again, the pile of meat paste has been flattened a lot, and the area has also become larger.

Shen Jiayue calmly grabbed the dry starch and sprinkled it on again, so that the mashed meat was completely covered by the dry starch, and then she picked up the rolling stick borrowed from the pastry department.

This is a tool for making noodles. It is used in the same way as a rolling pin, but the difference is that there is a thicker roller in the middle of this rolling pin, with handles at both ends.

Grasp the handle with both hands and push forward on the dough, while the roller in the middle is turning, it will also flatten the dough.

The use of this roller stick is relatively simple, suitable for kitchen novices.

The reason why Shen Jiayue dared to challenge the step of rolling the skin today was actually to rely on this "artifact".

Grab the handle with both hands, let the roller rotate on the meat paste, and the meat paste will be flattened.

This girl actually doesn't know how to roll out noodles, but she knows a little bit more, all she needs to do is roll out the meat paste thin enough, and don't care about the shape.

So, under the watchful eyes of Lin Xu and Chen Yan, she used the crazy wand technique.

Holding the rolling pin with both hands, just push and roll, like a crazy girl playing with mud.

Lin Xu originally thought that the car would overturn, but what he didn't expect was that when the meat paste stretched to occupy the entire chopping board, the meat paste was still not sticky everywhere, and it was rolled away miraculously.

"Wow, I really have a talent for cooking. When this meaty swallow is ready, I will formally challenge someone. I hope everyone will give me a helping hand!"

As a UP host, Shen Jiayue knows how to interact with netizens.

After the meat paste is completely rolled out, the meat paste is still quite thick, which is not suitable for making meat swallow skin.

Shen Jiayue sprinkled another layer of sweet potato starch on the mashed meat, and carefully folded the spread of mashed meat together.

At this moment, a lot of dry starch has been combined with the meat paste to form thick slices of meat, which look like dried pork or fish.

Use a small knife to cut open the folded part of the meat, and then use the rolling pin to continue rolling the meat.

Roll out to the size of a chopping board, re-flour, re-fold, and continue rolling.

After repeating this twice, the thickness of the meat slices decreased rapidly. The meat slices that originally looked like Hanamaki really felt like paper when held in the hand.

Shen Jiayue didn't expect this to be possible, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear:

"Haha, it feels like a success. I am indeed a culinary genius who is once in a century!"

She repeated it again, and the meat and swallow skin was completely rolled out.

Chen Yan couldn't believe her eyes, but Lin Xu wondered if she had let the water go, otherwise, with this girl's cooking skills, it would be absolutely impossible to do this step.

"What should I do next?"

The more Shen Jiayue looked at the meaty swallow skin she rolled, the happier she was, and she planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and ask Lin Xu what to do next.

"Fold and cut in half first, fold the swallow skin in half twice and cut it well, then remove the excess corners, and then cut half of it into a square with a side length of seven to nine centimeters, the exact amount is up to you."

"What about the other half?"

"The other half is kept for Yansi, which is hand-rolled noodles made from this kind of meat."

Since it has been successful, it is natural to make good use of it.

Shen Jiayue first folded the meat slices on the chopping board and cut them in half, then picked up the knife, used the long ruler used for cutting Shaqima in the pastry department, and started cutting the meat and swallow skin.

Before cutting, she deliberately calculated the spacing, and determined that the side length of the meat swallow skin was eight centimeters.

Soon, the stacks of squares were cut, and the excess starch was removed by pinching one sheet and shaking it lightly, and it was a thin and transparent swallow skin.

Shen Jiayue picked up a piece in her hand, her eyes were full of complacency:

"There's nothing special about meat swallows. I read it on the Internet so mysteriously, I thought it was really difficult."

She tidied up the meat and swallow skin, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"What should I do next? Is it time to make meat stuffing?"

"Yes, adjust the meat stuffing, and then start wrapping. You can cover it with a slightly damp gauze first, so that the meat and swallow skin won't dry out when you wrap it later, and it won't stick together at all."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue obediently wet the kitchen gauze, squeezed out the excess water, and carefully covered the sliced ​​meat swallow.

Next it's time to adjust the stuffing.

In other dishes, the step of adjusting the stuffing is the key point.

But the meat swallow is the opposite. The focus is on the skin. As for the filling, you can use eggs and leeks, fresh meat and shrimp, beef and green onions, or pork and lotus root.

In short, there is no requirement for fillings, basically you can use whatever you want to eat.

Shen Jiayue said:
"I like wontons filled with fresh meat, corn and horseshoe. Let's make this filling today."

She went to the big kitchen next door to scoop some pure lean meat stuffing, two fresh corns, and a few peeled horseshoes.

After getting it to the kitchen, he said happily:
"This is minced meat. The enthusiastic stall owner processed it for me, and the horseshoe has been peeled."

She put the minced meat in a basin, and according to the method taught by Lin Xu, added onion and ginger water, pepper water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, egg white and other ingredients into it, and then grabbed the minced meat and stirred in the same direction.

Stir until the meat is sticky, seal it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator to marinate.

Taking advantage of this time, she peeled off the husks of the fresh corn, cleaned off the corn silk, and then scraped off the corn on top row by row with a paring knife.

Put the corn kernels into the blender and turn them a few times to make the whole corn kernels into granules.

"When doing this step, you should pay attention to it. The stirring time should not be too long, otherwise the corn kernels will be stirred into a paste, and it will have no texture when eaten."

The corn kernels are ready, and then the horseshoe is chopped, and the preparation of the stuffing is basically completed.

Corn has a sweet taste, so there is no need to put sugar for freshness in the meat filling, so as not to be too sweet and affect the final taste.

Put these ingredients into the meat filling, add a little salt, stir well, and you can wrap it.

"Xu Bao Xu Bao, how should I pack the meat swallow?"

Shen Jiayue is like a student taking an open-book exam. On the surface, she seems to be taking the exam, but she looks around for the correct answer. She is not as confident as she is in front of the camera.

Lin Xu took advantage of the pause of the camera to pinch a piece of swallow skin, dug a little stuffing with a spoon and put it in the middle, and then pinched the excess corners together with his hands, making it a little loose, but the meat stuffing was already Totally wrapped up.

"It looks quite simple, let me try."

Shen Jiayue tried a few things first, and after Lin Xu helped her correct a few mistakes, she actually learned how to make wontons.

Although there is no such thing as the one-handed wrapping technique of those aunts in the wonton shop, but from the perspective of amateur standards, it is quite remarkable, and it looks quite similar.

After restarting the machine to record, the girl quickly wrapped it up.

The wrapped meat swallows were placed on the tray, and Shen Jiayue wrapped dozens of them in one go, which was about enough for tasting. She stopped and said to the camera:

"The meat swallow is generally not boiled and eaten immediately, but steamed, so that the taste is better and it can also prevent the filling from being exposed. However, if the technology is good, it is no problem to cook it directly."

After finishing speaking, she set up the soup pot, filled the pot with water, turned on the stove and started to boil the water.

Hehe, people with average skills can steam the meat swallow, but the quality of the one made by this chef is definitely the best, so naturally there is no need to steam it.

While the water was boiling, the girl brought a few bowls, and put minced celery, shrimp oil, salt, light soy sauce, shrimp skin, seaweed and other ingredients into the bowls.

Boil the water, carefully put the meat swallow in and start cooking.

If the meat swallow has been steamed, the water can be boiled again, but this kind of meat swallow that has not been steamed still needs to be ordered with cold water once, so that the taste will be smoother.

The meat swallow gradually becomes transparent in the pot, and even the corn kernels in the filling can be seen clearly.

When it was about cooked, she used a spoon to put the meat, bird's nest, and soup in the pot into a bowl with ingredients. When it was full, she pinched some coriander and poured a few drops of sesame oil.

In this way, a delicious meat swallow with both taste and appearance is officially completed.

"It smells fresh and delicious, and I think it will be very delicious. I haven't eaten this kind of meat-wrapped wontons yet. I'll try it for everyone."

Shen Jiayue did not expect that today's production process would be so smooth, everything seemed to flow smoothly, which was in stark contrast to the food videos in the past when they got stuck and made mistakes.

When she sat down to taste it, the girl even wondered whether it was the awakening of some God Emperor blood in her body that led to the sudden increase in talent.

Otherwise, how could it be so smooth?

She picked up a wonton with her chopsticks and blew it by her mouth. She took a bite carefully, and her eyes were filled with shock:

"Wow, the taste is so good, it's actually crispy, the outer skin is crispy, and the filling inside is also crunchy because of the horseshoe, so delicious!"

I originally thought that the meat swallow would be similar to wontons, but I didn't expect the texture to be smooth and crispy, and my mouth was full of umami.

This texture and taste cannot be produced by any wonton.

"It's great, it's great, it's super delicious... I won't take pictures anymore, I'll eat it quickly, it's so delicious, I feel that every word I say now is a blasphemy against food..."

Shen Jiayue waved at Chen Yan anxiously, signaling to turn off the phone.

It was so fresh and delicious that she couldn't even wait for the concluding remarks.

Chen Yan turned off the camera and couldn't help muttering:
"You're pretty good at acting, and it looks like it's really delicious."

"It's really delicious, if you don't believe me, try Yanbao, it's absolutely beyond imagination..."

When traveling in Fujian in the past, Shen Jiayue ate the local meat swallow, but for some reason, she always felt that it was not as delicious as the one made by herself, especially this kind of umami taste, which was so fresh that her eyebrows were so fresh.

Chen Yan picked up a bowl dubiously, smelling that the soup in the bowl was quite fresh, but the cousin is half-level, can she really make delicious meat swallow?
She tasted the soup, and it tasted really good. The shrimp skin, shrimp oil, and seaweed all exuded an attractive umami taste, and it was served with minced celery, which gave people a very fresh feeling.

After tasting the soup, she took another bite of the meat swallow, and immediately showed the same expression of Shen Jiayue:
"Wow, this meaty swallow is really delicious, Yueyue, are you secretly opening up Ren Du's second channel? Why did you become so powerful all of a sudden?"

I thought my cousin was acting just now, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious.

Shen Jiayue said happily:
"I wanted to get along with you as ordinary people, but what I got in exchange was indifference and sarcasm. Stop pretending, I'm a chef and I'm showing off!"

This girl looked like a villain, Chen Yan couldn't see anything like a chef at all.

But the meat swallow is so delicious. Although the brother-in-law secretly gave a cheat sheet during the production process, it was a reminder of one or two sentences, and I demonstrated it when making wontons.

With such a standard, some people even believe that it is a chef in a star hotel.

As the old saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog, so if your cousin marries a chef, you become a chef?

Thinking about the person she married, Chen Yan felt that cooking was out of the question, and now she could only work hard in the direction of private detective, maybe she could achieve something.

She was thinking wildly as she ate.

Next to it, Lin Xu took a bowl and tasted it. He felt that the taste and texture were quite good, and the amount of seasoning was just right...I have to make some delicious food for Dundun later, after all, I have put in effort.

Shen Jiayue was already full of confidence at the moment, she held a bowl and approached Lin Xu and asked:
"Xu Bao, do you think this meaty swallow can be improved a bit?"

Lin Xu nodded:

"Yes, put the cooked swallow into a bowl with a colander, and then add a large spoonful of boiled pork bone broth to the bowl, the taste is better than the original soup."

Normally, meat swallows need to be eaten with pork bone broth.

But Lin Xu was worried that this girl didn't know how to control the two pots. If she made a mistake in her busy schedule and had an accident, it would be better to cook the original soup of the meat swallow honestly and practically.

After eating a bowl of meat swallows, Shen Jiayue remembered that Lin Xu wanted to make innovative meat swallows:
"Xu Bao, what are you going to do with these skins?"

"I'm going to make some siu mai, paper buns, steamed dumplings, pot stickers, and so on. I'll try to make some of each. Anyway, there are so many skins, so I can't waste them."

After finishing speaking, he took the meat and swallow skin and began to wrap the meat stuffing. He was going to wrap the rest of the stuffing first, and then think about other things.

Because these meat swallows are to be given to the elders, they cannot be boiled directly. They must be steamed first, and then sent after they are cooled.

If it is sent raw directly, the meat filling is easy to go rancid, and the cooked one is easy to rot. It is more convenient to steam it and let it cool. It is very convenient to send it to the refrigerator and cook it over high heat if you want to eat it.

Lin Xu's meat-wrapped swallow was very fast. He put the stuffing in one hand and kneaded it casually with the other hand. A wonton was officially ready. Shen Jiayue, who was originally full of confidence, was startled when she saw it:
"I thought my bag speed was very fast. Compared with professional players, it's so much worse."

Lin Xu smiled and comforted:
"You were shooting a video. Netizens can't see the action clearly if it's too fast. It's better to slow down and show the details. I'm in a hurry and there is no comparison."

After the meat swallow was wrapped, he called Qi Siliang to come over, and brought it to the steamer in the large kitchen for steaming.

Then he took Shen Jiayue's uncut half of the swallow skin, rolled it up, and cut it into thin strips with a kitchen knife.

After cutting, shake off these filaments, remove excess starch, and then hang them in a big basket.

These filaments are swallow silk, which can be preserved for a long time after drying.

When eating, you just need to cook it in boiling water like noodles, and then pour it into the soup base prepared with pork bone broth, and you can enjoy the deliciousness.

This kind of swallow silk made by repeatedly beating meat is much more delicious than noodles, and the smooth and crispy texture is even better than bamboo noodles.

After cutting up the shredded swallow, Lin Xu began to use the remaining swallow skin to prepare delicious food such as steamed buns.

The wrapped food was sent to the steamer to start steaming. Taking advantage of this time, he brought two bullfrogs, slaughtered them, picked out the meat, mixed them with egg yolks and crushed salted duck egg yolks, and put them in the pot Steam it.

After steaming, pour it into the porcelain plate where Dundun eats, spread it out to dry, and bring it downstairs when it is not hot. At this time, a certain little fat cat is already waiting.

"Did you help Mommy just now? Thank you, baby."

Lin Xu raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head. He really paid too much for this family and deserves a commendation.

Thinking that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, and Dundun hadn't gone out to have fun for a few days, he asked with a smile:

"How about taking you to Xiaobai to play in the afternoon? I happen to be going to the Ginkgo Garden to see your aunt's wedding venue. If you want to go, go together."

"Meow meow meow!"

Dundun let out a series of barks, obviously, he couldn't wait to find his little friends to chatter about.

Lin Xu rubbed its head again:

"Go ahead and eat. Let's go to the ginkgo garden in the afternoon. If you have time, catch a few more fish and improve your life."

The little fat cat who was eating bullfrog meat with his head down immediately lit up, his tail swayed slightly, his eyes were full of anticipation and excitement...
