Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 258: Eating apples on Christmas Eve, where is the custom?
After midnight, it is Christmas Eve.

Li Rui has discovered several ways to eat apples.

It can be seen that seasonal recipes are very inclusive.

Because Christmas Eve is a Western holiday, but eating apples was only invented in China because of its homophonic meaning.

It even has a history of more than a hundred years.

Whether or not to celebrate Western festivals can be put aside.
In a restaurant, whether the food tastes good may be more important.

Li Rui called Xiao Ma and asked her to take out the few remaining apples in the store.

Seeing the boss cutting the apples into pieces, she was a little curious:

“What dish is this going to be?”

"How about a fried apple?"

Apples, Xiao Ma likes to eat them directly after washing and peeling.

"Can't you just eat the apple as it is?"

Li Rui smiled. He thought, eating it directly is indeed the most popular way of eating in seasonal recipes.

But as a food lover, I have to try new cooking methods.

"Just tell me whether you want to eat or not?"

"Of course I'll eat it then."

The young man got off work early at 12 o'clock because of training. The boss's food was something Xiao Ma could show off to her younger colleagues, and she would not let go of the opportunity to taste it alone.

The method of making fried apples is somewhat similar to that of fried chicken.

After peeling and cutting the apples into pieces, remove the cores.

The seeds in the core of an apple are poisonous, but if you eat the core of an apple normally, it is far from the dose that will cause poisoning, so you don't need to worry too much. Moreover, after high-temperature frying, the cyanogenic glycosides in it will decompose due to heat, and the hydrogen cyanide will evaporate.

When cooking with apples, the overall taste should be considered.

Eating the core will make you feel very uncomfortable.

After cutting the apples, put them in clean water, add a small amount of salt, soak them, and rub and massage them.

Then remove from the water, sprinkle a layer of starch on the apple pieces, and mix well.

Apples that are only coated with a layer of flour will easily lose their starch when fried in a pan.

You also need to spray some clean water on the surface of the apple, and then coat it with a layer of starch.

The same method applies when frying chicken.

Fry the processed apples at 60% oil temperature.

Wait until the surface is set, turns yellow and crispy, then remove from the pan and drain the oil for later use.

Fried apples alone can hardly be called a fresh dish.

Also need to add a little more complex taste.

Li Rui took out a bag of vermicelli and poured it into the oil pan.

After the thin white vermicelli strips were put into the oil pan, they made crackling sounds and quickly expanded, filling the pan.

After Xiao Ma saw the changes in her fans, she pointed at the pot and widened her eyes:

"Boss, this is puffed food!"

After the grains are puffed, their volume increases, their tissue structure changes, and their taste becomes very crispy.

It’s just that people are worried about the quality of oil and excessive fat intake, and often regard puffed foods as junk food.

Take out the fried vermicelli and mash it.

Then start making a sweet and sour sauce.

White sugar and white vinegar are the sources of sweet and sour flavor; add a little salt to enhance the flavor; tomato sauce is used to enhance the color of the sauce; finally, add an appropriate amount of water and stir evenly.

Heat oil in a pan and simmer the sauce until thick.

Add the fried apples and let the sweet and sour sauce coat the surface of the apples. Pour the mixture into the vermicelli shreds and let the surface of the apples be coated with vermicelli.

This fried apple dish is ready.

The snow-white vermicelli covers the rosy apples like small snowflakes.

Therefore, a more poetic name is "Treading Snow to Search for Plum Blossoms".

The boss stood in the kitchen and said to the group of diners outside:

"New dish, do you want to try it?"

People can often taste the new dishes made by Boss Li in the evening, and they all say:
"That's what I've been waiting for!"

"Lucky, we have new dishes today."

Li Rui used several apples, so every customer had a share, and each got two or three pieces.
After receiving the new dishes, they smiled at each other and said, "What a little thing, it's quite unique."

"Yes, it looks really beautiful."

People who were not in a hurry to taste it were also guessing to each other, "What's in this?"

"It smells sweet and sour, it's the sweet and sour sauce, right? Is that tenderloin?"

After the diners had eaten,
A wonderful taste journey begins.

The outermost layer of vermicelli becomes crispy after being fried.

The sweet and sour sauce in the middle is thick and sticky.

The apples are covered in a starchy shell and have a firm texture.

The apple inside is soft, juicy, fragrant and sweet.

The rich tactile experience makes people feel very wonderful and interesting.

The taste of the new dishes is mainly sweet and sour.

It contains sweet apple juice, so even though most of the ingredients are fried, it tastes crispy and not greasy.

It is very suitable as a small dessert after a meal.

Eating it alone, it was also very popular with the ladies present.

“It’s sweet and sour, delicious.”

"What's the name of this dish? I want to order one tomorrow."

Li Rui: "Walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms."

"Oh, what a beautiful name. Now that you mention it, it really is the same as this dish."

"These things stuck on the outside look like little snowflakes. By the way, boss, are these vermicelli?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes, I fried the vermicelli in a pan."

Many people present are fans of Boss Li’s video account.

There are diners with overflowing talents:
"In this situation, I want to recite a poem."

“The fried apples are sour and sweet, and taste like first love.”

People listened to the doggerel and smiled. The talent was overflowing, but very limited.

However, the taste of first love sometimes brings back some sad things.

Cao Changfeng couldn't help but frown as he watched and listened to everyone making jokes about the taste of first love.

He said seriously:

"First love is something you can never forget."

The customer next to Cao Changfeng joked: "Then tell me about it."

"This is at best a secret love of mine, and it's not sweet at all." Cao Changfeng sighed.

"So your first love is still there?"

"Yes, I am a pure love warrior."

"Excuse me, I'll give you this one too."

Life in a shop is fun every day.

Just like the various flavors in the store, such as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, the customers also have various stories.

In the middle of the night, there are fewer customers, but people still come frequently.

After two o'clock in the morning, Li Rui waited for the last customer to leave and closed the shop.

"Off work, off work."

Comrade Ma Jinge ran out of the store skipping and jumping, and at this time small snowflakes were really falling outside.

She began to have fun in the light snow.

"See you tomorrow, boss. Oh no, see you at noon."

"Bye-Bye."

Xiao Ma doesn't seem to have anything to worry about every day.

Xiao Han's situation is a little more complicated than hers.

However, during this period, he helped Aunt Cai make lunch boxes every day, and his level and experience have caught up.

There is physical training for the ponies at noon. If you take advantage of this time to practice, you should be much stronger.

Li Rui also hopes that he can achieve his goal.
