Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 47 Against the odds, the dumplings actually flew!

Shake the bottle.

After taking a few sips, the commander-in-chief showed an expression of satisfaction!
Immediately, with the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Zhang Fan in front of the cooking table, his thoughts inevitably wandering.

As the daughter of the Nakiri family, Erina will definitely always be the apple of his eye in the eyes of his commander-in-chief!
In Totsuki Academy, Erina naturally has a very high status, background and wealth!

This gave her a very high reputation in Yuanyue, but it also made it difficult for her to establish a close relationship with ordinary students!
After all.

Most students.

There are only feelings of jealousy, envy, and awe towards her.

And the few people who can get close to her will be repelled by her arrogance and arrogance!

So, Erina is actually really lonely!

But in the izakaya, the shopkeeper Zhang had the intention of teasing her at first.

But he is born with a kind temperament, and he can often quickly close the distance with Erina with just a few words, and he can have a fun chat with her!

From the commander's perspective, this feels quite incredible!

"Could it be."

"in this world."

"Is the person who can save Erina the owner of this izakaya?"

Looking at the clear and transparent sake in the cup, the white-haired commander-in-chief could only say to himself!
……

First of all.

Prepare regular all-purpose flour.

Pour it into a container, add cold water and edible salt, slowly add it to the flour in batches, stir with chopsticks while adding water, and finally knead it into a softer dough with your hands!

After that, cover it with a damp cloth, wake it up for 10 minutes, rub it with your hands, and wake it up for another 20 minutes!

At the same time, prepare the starch powder.

Use hot water above 90 degrees Celsius and pour it on the powder slowly, little by little.

After the dough forms, let it rest for 10 minutes!

"Miss!"

"Why did he prepare two different kinds of flour and flour?"

Seeing that Zhang Fan was mixing two different kinds of dough, Nito Hisako, who was watching quietly next to him, was very confused.

"Ok!"

"From my experience."

"Using two kinds of dough, you should be trying to get different taste and appearance, right?"

Erina's eyes flickered at first, and then she expressed her opinion.

Medium-gluten flour has a moisture content of 13.8% and a crude protein of more than 8.55, which is between high-gluten flour and low-gluten flour.

In terms of its ductility, all-purpose flour is actually worse than high-gluten flour!
But on the other hand, all-purpose flour is white and shiny in color, and the food produced is soft and a little chewy, so it is also very suitable for making dumpling wrappers!
As for the flour and dough, it is more delicate, which can increase the visual appeal!
"strangeness!"

“If you just want to get a cosmetic effect.”

"You can use high-gluten flour and cornstarch in a ratio of 4:1 to prepare medium-gluten flour, so why do you need flour and all-purpose flour?"

"What's more, Chengfen is a kind of starch. The skin is relatively thin and can break if you are not careful. The texture is also more delicate. In fact, it cannot be used as dumpling wrappers at all!"

Thinking of this, Erina's eyes were filled with suspicion.

Every time Zhang Fan made a new dish, she was always completely confused and couldn't understand it!

And in the end, when all the secrets of his cooking were revealed, he was able to completely subvert her understanding of this kind of cuisine!
Therefore, Nakiri Erina began to have a premonition in her heart.

The shrimp dumplings Zhang Fan made this time would still shock her like the previous two times!
"It stands to reason." "The thinner the dumpling skin should be, the better."

"And he actually wants to use all-purpose flour and Chengfen flour to make two different kinds of dumpling wrappers?"

Commander-in-Chief, seeing Zhang Fan doing this, he felt really inexplicable!
……

Not as delicious as dumplings.

It's better to sit upside down than to feel comfortable!

As an important part of Chinese culture, dumplings have a long history!
As early as the late Eastern Han Dynasty, doctor Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown during the winter solstice. On the way, he saw many poor people suffering from frostbite on their ears, and some even contracted wind and cold.

So he used mutton, pepper and herbs to dispel cold and heat to make stuffing, then wrapped it into the shape of an ear and served it to the poor. In the end, he successfully resisted the wind and cold and cured the ear!

later.

After years of development.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, dumplings began to spread throughout the country!
Dumplings are not only delicious, but also unique and simple to make. They can be made with hot noodles, pastry noodles, egg noodles or rice noodles.

The fillings are also varied and can be meat or vegetarian, sweet or salty; and the cooking method can also be steamed, boiled, fried, pan-fried, baked, etc.

all in all.

Dumplings are already the same as tofu.

It can be varied and have different tastes!
……

at this time.

But you can see that Zhang Fan washed all the shrimps.

Then use scissors to cut off the long beard and the sharp corners on the head.

Then use a toothpick to pick out the tissue connecting the head and body. While rinsing, continue to use the toothpick to mash the tissue in the sandbag, and finally rinse it clean!

Insert a toothpick into the section near the tail, prick the skin and cut the shrimp meat into pieces, then mix with cooking wine, ginger, white pepper, sugar, salt, sesame oil and shrimp brains, stir well and marinate for 15 minutes.

Finally, the shrimp shells are peeled off and carved into the shape of a dragon head.

Followed by.

Use different materials for dumpling wrappers.

That is, use crystal skin as the base, then cover it with ordinary dumpling skin, seal the edges, then turn the dumplings upside down and steam them!
……

"Is it my illusion?"

"Are they really just using two kinds of dumpling skins?"

Seeing this, Erina couldn't help but be stunned, her mind was racing!

She completely failed to understand what purpose Zhang Fan had for doing this. It was so against common sense!
Finally, as the shrimp dumplings were steamed, Zhang Fan, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly opened the steamer.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, the moment the steam oven was opened.

The entire steam oven was instantly filled with water mist, and then a dazzling light burst out, blinding the titanium alloy eyes of all the diners present!
"what?"

"Why is it glowing again?"

Erina, with an incredible look on her face!
This was the second time she had seen glowing food, but when she saw it again, she was still frightened!
And just when all the diners, including Nakiri Erina, Nakiri Senzaemon, Nito Hisako, etc., had not come back to their senses due to the glowing phenomenon...

shrimp.

No, it's a dragon!

The dragon-shaped dumplings were rising slowly in the steam oven filled with water mist!

Like a blue dragon soaring in the clouds and mist, with many twists and turns, its whole body is gorgeous, and it looks down upon everyone with a strong and majestic aura!
"what?"

"The dumplings actually flew?"

In an instant, Nakiri Erina was stunned!
On the side, Nito Hisako, Nakiri Senzaemon and others were also completely dumbfounded!
