Dimensional Medicine King

Many people can't help but think of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and rice cakes when they hear pastries, but in fact the so-called pastries refer to the general term of cakes and snacks, so whether they look simple or gorgeous, they all belong to pastries. , rather than the 'pastry' and 'snack' that some people misunderstand.

Just like the saying that there are eight major cuisines, there are also several main schools of dim sum, such as Beijing style, Jin style, Su style, Guang style, Chao style, Ning style, Shanghai style, Sichuan style, Yang style, Yunnan style, Fujian style Wait.

After careful consideration, Lan Si finally chose Su-style dim sum, not to say that other dim sum did not meet the requirements, it was purely because Lan Si personally liked Su-style sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which led to more research on Su-style dim sum, and this time he did not There are too many scruples, so Su-style dim sum alone is enough for him to choose...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In order to choose the recipe, Lan Si also asked the person who was going to give it to the other party. After all, different people gave different gifts.

According to the other party's description, Lan Si roughly divided them into several categories, and the classification standard was age.

Small children, young people, middle-aged and old people.

According to four different age stages, Lansi also intends to make four kinds of pastries.

Most children are sweet-loving, and they prefer good-looking food, so Lansi simply decided to make lotus flower crisps directly. This kind of dessert Lansi is already familiar with it, and it is also suitable for the target group;

The young man Lansi plans to make Dingsheng Cake. There are many theories about the origin of this cake. The specific origin is unknown, but no matter what kind of theory it is, it is almost related to one thing, that is, the common people want to win the favor of the soldiers. Made pastries printed with the words "Dingsheng" for them, whether it is a good choice for students or young people who have just graduated and entered the society;

As for the pastry Lansi for middle-aged people, I hesitated for a long time. After all, this age group is the most complicated. Lansi finally decided to make jujube cake, not only because the jujube used as the main ingredient can nourish the spleen and stomach, nourish The effect of yin blood, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, and alleviating the medicinal properties is also because this kind of pastry is very plastic.

Many people, especially young people, prefer western pastry to traditional dim sum. This is normal. After all, most people around them are more likely to have access to this. In addition, traditional dim sum, especially cheap dim sum, often do not work hard on appearance. , basically follow the routine of high quality, low price and large quantity, which also makes many people feel that traditional dim sum is mediocre.

For example, the 'Jujube Cake' chosen by Lansi usually sells cakes that are cut into rectangles. If no one introduces them, they don't know what it is, but who knows that 'Jujube Cake' is actually a member of the Manchu Banquet?

In addition, the biggest reason is probably too familiar. After all, many dim sums are grown from snacks to adulthood. When you eat too much western pastry and look back at traditional dim sums, you will find that traditional dim sums at the same price seem to be no different?

The simpler the cooking, the more the skill of the maker will be tested. It is obvious that Lan Si intends to try his own skills;

In the end, birthday peaches were directly prepared for the blues of the elderly.

Needless to say, this is an indispensable thing for almost all old people when they celebrate their birthdays, but many people probably have never eaten it. This kind of pasta made of japonica rice and glutinous rice flour is also very delicious.

And when he made a decision, he also did it directly. Among them, he planned to make the meringue of the lotus flower cake in advance, but he did it in the end. Drawer, so the key lies in the production of two sides.

So the first thing to make is jujube cake. After all, this kind of pastry is more special than the other two pastries.

Date paste cake, date paste cake, is naturally made of date paste, so the first step is to make date paste.

Put the cleaned jujubes into the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, and take them out. Even if you use the ability of digitization to speed up, it will take a few minutes, so he took the opportunity to make the dough of the other two pastries in advance.

Both Dingsheng Cake and Shoutao are inseparable from several materials.

Glutinous rice flour, japonica rice flour, red yeast rice and rose paste.

However, there are also differences. For example, when making the same dough, the dough used by Shou Tao contains less red yeast rice, so the dough made will have a special "jade color", while the dough made by Dingsheng Cake is more It is a pale pink color.

Needless to say, although the shape depends on the chef's craftsmanship, the color matching is similar. As for the reason why Dingsheng cake is made pink, it is because the neon cherry blossoms are very popular, so Lansi decided to make it look like cherry blossoms , so when coloring, it is biased towards the light pink of cherry blossoms.

When the two kinds of dough are made, the next step is steaming, but there is one more step to be done before steaming.

Whether it is Dingsheng cake or birthday cake, it is different from ordinary steamed buns, and does not need to be fermented with yeast, which is why they are cakes rather than pastries.

Dingsheng Cake is relatively simple, the key lies in the mould. The incident happened suddenly, and Lan Si didn't have time to make a wooden mould, so he simply took out a large block of ice from the refrigerator.

Making molds with ice cubes is much more troublesome than wooden molds. After all, human hands are warm. Once they are held, the ice cubes will start to melt, so he had to use the 'vapor freezing method' to make his hands reach freezing point, but At the same time, ripples are used to ensure blood circulation, but even so, Lan Si does not dare to maintain it for too long. After all, if the balance of the two abilities goes wrong, either the ice will melt or his hands will be frostbitten, no matter which one he wants to see.

For this reason, he also unconsciously accelerated the speed.

Holding the ice cube in his left hand and the carving knife in his right hand, Lan Si carefully drew the outermost pattern of cherry blossoms on the top of the ice cube, and then carefully hollowed out the ice cube with the carving knife, and this was only the first step , the next step is the most troublesome.

Carefully draw the pattern of cherry blossoms with the blade of the carving knife in the limited space, with the ice cube in his left hand and the carving knife in his right hand, Lan Si stares straight at the tiny lines in his palm, which looks incomparable serious.

"Whoo~"

Gently blowing a layer of ice chips turned into countless ice flowers in the air, and Lan Si unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he also uses a knife, he really likes the 'engraving' of opening and closing more than this kind of delicate 'carving'.

Press the ice mold on the dough, and then carefully remove it, a pink 'cherry blossom' appeared in Lan Si's palm, but it was still one step away from complete completion.

Put all the 'cherry blossoms' into the steamer, and Lansi began to make longevity peaches.

Compared with the exquisite 'cherry blossom', the production of longevity peaches is much simpler. After kneading it into a rough shape by hand, carefully cut off the excess dough with a carving knife. Gradually, the shape of a peach is gradually formed. When Lan Si used the back of the carving knife to stroke the dough lightly from top to bottom, and a lifelike peach was declared complete, but at this time it was obviously not enough.

Use a small brush to smear rose sauce on the upper part of the 'Shou Tao', and then use a carving knife to draw lines on the leaves made of herbal juice and dough, and then glue them to the bottom of the peach. This is officially completed.

"Goooooooo~"

At this time, the cauldron under the steamer was completely boiled, and the two layers of steamer were also placed on top of the steamer by Lan Si.

There is only one last step left for Dingsheng Cake and Longevity Peach, and the jujube paste on the other side is also announced to be finished, and Lansi is also starting the final processing...

Chapter Seventeen Don't Think About It, It's Just Tsundere

"Gollum~ Gollum~"

Even though Lansi turned off the fire, the jujube paste boiling in the pot was still bubbling from time to time.

The color of the tumbling jujube paste is more vivid than normal jujube paste. This is not only because the brown sugar is added to the production of blues, but also because of the reason for stirring it from time to time. Of course, the special sweetness of the jujube paste is more attractive than the color. taste, but that's not enough.

Pour the sifted glutinous rice flour and red bean paste into the jujube paste and start stirring until all the ingredients are integrated and no small flour balls can be seen.

Because of the addition of glutinous rice flour, the color of the solution at this time is lighter than before, but the fragrance that is constantly exuding remains unchanged. Dip it with your finger and lick it lightly to determine whether the sweetness is enough. Then you can directly Started steaming.

The steaming time of jujube cake is different from that of Dingsheng cake and longevity peach, so Lan Si specially separates the two.

After steaming, take it out and let it cool down before you can start the final processing.
