They Gather Here

"In other words, among the desserts eaten today, Mitarai should be the only one that can be made on a large scale and in unlimited quantities, right?"

"That's right..."

After getting the reminder, Luo Zhen continued to think along this line of thought.

If Mitarai wants to innovate, what angle can it look at?

Tian Suohui has done a lot, turning arrowroot into water-milled glutinous rice flour, and soy sauce into gorgon juice.

In terms of raw materials, then only...

bean flour.

The so-called bean noodles are flour made from beans.

In East Asian countries such as China and Neon, soybean noodles generally refer to flour made from soybeans, that is, soybean flour.

But in fact, the raw material of bean noodles is also related to the region. For example, in Northwest China, the raw material of bean noodles is peas.

Luo Zhen pondered for a moment, then looked at Kato Megumi: "Why don't we just have a positive wave with them?"

The girl nodded immediately: "Listen to you."

"Then I'll start."

"Do you need help?"

"Help me go to the commercial street and buy some soaked red beans. They must be soaked."

"understand!"

After speaking, Kato Megumi rushed out of the room.

Luo Zhen took out several ingredients from the cupboard, glutinous rice flour, bean flour, white sugar, and maltose.

He poured glutinous rice flour into a container, added an appropriate amount of warm water, and kneaded it into a smooth and greasy dough.

Then, find a plate, spread a layer of sesame oil on the bottom of the plate, put the noodles on the plate, wrap it with plastic wrap, and steam it in a pan, first steam it on high heat for 10 minutes, and then change to low heat.

Just at this time, Kato Megumi ran back with a wheeze.

"Mr. Tian Yuan helped to buy, besides the soaked red beans, there are also yellow peas." She said, "No money is taken."

"Bring it to me." Luo Zhen didn't lift his head.

"There is also a wall breaker."

"..."

"what happened?"

"Bring them all."

Kato Hui immediately moved a stainless steel pot to the stove.

This is a basin specially used for soaking hair, which is divided into two parts by a partition, which weighs at least three catties.

As for the broken machine, it is a Huaxia brand called "Jiuyang".

Emmmm......

Amazing.

Luo Zhen didn't have time to complain, so he took out a catty of red beans, put them into the pressure cooker, added water to cover the beans, and turned on the fire.

During this period, it will take about half an hour. Do something else.

He poured the soybean noodles into the pan and stir-fried them until they were golden brown with a slightly mushy smell. Then he spread a little oil on the plastic wrap, took out the steamed glutinous rice dough and rolled it into slices.

Everything is ready, only the red bean paste is owed.

Only quietly waiting.

impossible.

Apart from the desserts he had already thought about, Luo Zhen decided to make something else.

He fished out a few yellow peas and found that the watercress had been soaked to the point of cracking, so he drained them, washed them, added soft white sugar, stirred them evenly, and let them stand.

Theoretically speaking, pea: white sugar ≈ 5:1, which is a relatively "Chinese" ratio.

But Neon Man has a characteristic——

I like light meals when I eat dinner, but I like sweeter desserts.

Therefore, Luo Zhen adjusted the ratio to 4.5:1.

He added water to the stirred peas, soaked the peas by 2cm, then put them into the rice cooker, selected the [beans] setting, and set the time to half an hour.

Another half hour.

Fortunately, the red beans cooked in the pressure cooker are finally cooked.

Luo Zhen crushed the cooked red beans in batches using the juice mode of the wall breaker, then put them into a fine sieve, and washed the bean paste while adding water.

The purpose of this step is to remove the bean skin and ensure that the bean paste has a delicate taste.

Next, put the washed bean paste into the gauze in batches and squeeze out the water.

At this point, the red bean paste is finished, but still raw.

Add oil, white sugar and maltose to the frying pan, stir fry until half melted, then add raw bean paste, adjust to medium heat, keep stirring to avoid sticking to the pan, until the water is basically dry and not sticky, take out of the pan .

He put the fried bean paste in a glass bowl and put it aside to dry.

"Are you ready?" Kato Megumi asked.

"No." Luo Zhen shook his head, "We have to wait until the temperature drops completely."

"Is that so..."

"It's okay, the peas are almost ready."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "ding" sound from the rice cooker, and half an hour ended.

In fact, you can use a pressure cooker to simmer for 20 minutes, or steam it in an ordinary pot for 60 minutes.

It's a pity that the former requires two pressure cookers, and the latter takes time.

Therefore, Luo Zhen chose the rice cooker.

He poured the boiled peas into a wall breaker, stirred them into a fine pea paste, and sieved it with a spoon.

It is indeed made in China!

The pea paste produced by Joyoung’s wall-breaking machine will be very delicate, basically one sieve is enough, and the pea paste made is quite fine.

Luo Zhen poured it into the pot, heated it slowly with the lowest fire, and then brought a special utensil——

Rubber spatula.

He kept stirring with a rubber spatula until the lines produced after stirring would not disappear.

In the traditional craft, this step is called "stacking silk", which is to scoop up a piece of pea paste, and the filaments formed by its natural fall can be stacked and will not disappear.

If this step can be achieved, it means that the heat is just right.

Of course, Luo Zhen never makes mistakes.

He poured the pea paste into the mold while it was still hot, shook it quickly, and put it in the refrigerator.

"It's in the refrigerator again." Megumi Kato couldn't help complaining, "Can't we eat today?"

"Of course not." Luo Zhen smiled, "You have a donkey rolling to taste."

"What it is?"

"Okay."

At this point, the red bean paste has been dried.

Luo Zhen cut off the corners of the glutinous rice skin, spread the red bean paste evenly on it, then rolled it from one end, and evenly sprinkled soybean noodles on the outermost layer.

In the last step, dip the knife with clean water, cut it into small sections with a knife, paste a layer of soybean noodles on each small section, and put it on a plate.

Donkey roll, you're done!

Kato Megumi couldn't wait to lean over and watch from the side.

I saw that the appearance is yellow, and the red bean paste is evenly rolled, with distinct layers, very beautiful.

It has to be said that compared with Huaxia's traditional pastries, Neon's pastries are much worse in appearance.

The girl couldn't wait any longer.

She muttered "I'm starting~", then grabbed a donkey and rolled it into her mouth.

very delicious!

Fragrant, sweet, sticky...

Coupled with the strong aroma of soybean powder, it makes people unable to extricate themselves.

The most unexpected thing is that this dessert is not greasy at all.

When Megumi Kato was observing just now, he found that Luo Zhen put a lot of sugar.

Even if she is a Neon person, the girl will inevitably feel apprehensive.

However, the simplicity of the bean noodles neutralized the sweetness of the red bean paste. She even ate five yuan, and her lips and teeth still clearly remembered the soft and glutinous touch.

No matter who it is, they should like this Q bomb.

Megumi Kato let out a long breath and asked, "Is this dessert called 'Donkey Roll'?"

"That's right." Luo Zhen nodded.

"A curious name."

"This is a delicacy in the capital of China. In the capital, which is becoming more and more international and metropolitan, although many snacks seem to be outdated, the snacks in the capital are the 'living fossils' of the thousand-year history of the capital. Every snack has it. historical roots and cultural origins.”

"Haven't you thought about changing the name of the snack?"

"Snacks in the capital condense the complex of Beijing flavor and can arouse people's nostalgia. Therefore, it is more than just food in the mouth."

As he said that, Luo Zhen was a little excited, looking at the sky outside the door with long-distance eyes.

Kato Megumi's heart trembled, and he gently took his hand.
