Chapter 66 Golden Potato Shrimp Balls
The making of mashed potatoes seems to be very simple, but to make mashed potatoes delicious, you need a little skill.
First, Ye Fei carefully removed the potato skins, and then cut the potatoes into small pieces with a knife.
Then turn on the fire, put a small pot on the stove, put potato pieces one by one in the pot, add appropriate amount of water to it, cover the pot and start cooking on high heat.
During this waiting process, Ye Fei began to clean the prawns.
This kind of shrimp is not as difficult to clean as lobster. Put four gimai shrimp in a small basin, soak some water, soak for a while, and then start to clean it up.
He found a pair of scissors among the tools provided by the system, carefully cut off the shrimp head at an angle of about forty degrees, and then carefully picked out the shrimp brain with the tip of the scissors.
When picking out the shrimp brains, Ye Fei discovered a surprise, the base shrimp provided by the system actually had shrimp yellow, and there were a lot of them.
"Sure enough, there is a reason why you are expensive. I didn't expect there to be so many shrimp yellows. This is a good thing." Ye Fei muttered.
As he said, Ye Fei picked out the brain of the shrimp, and then gently pulled it out, pulling out the intestines of the shrimp. This thing is not edible. The common way is to cut the back of the shrimp with scissors, and then cut the shrimp's back. Pick out the intestines.
But in this way, after the shrimp is ready, the back will split, and the integrity of the shrimp body cannot be guaranteed. If it is just for eating, this method is still advisable.
After the shrimp intestines were removed, Ye Fei used scissors to cut off the shrimp tails, but there was a little bit of shrimp meat when cutting.
After this step, a shrimp is almost finished.
Then Ye Fei took another shrimp and began to repeat the above actions.
He was still a little rusty at the beginning, but after cleaning up two of them, his speed picked up.
Not long after, the four shrimps were cleaned up by Ye Fei.
By this time, the potatoes were already cooked.
Ye Fei turned off the fire, then carefully took the potato pieces out of the pot with a slotted spoon, put them on a plate to cool for a while, and then found a clean paper bag from the tools provided by the system.
Ye Fei didn't know what material this paper bag was made of, but it felt very strong.
It didn't take long for the potato cubes to cool down.
Ye Fei carefully packed these potato pieces into a paper bag, and sealed the bag mouth, but squeezed out the air in the bag while sealing it.
Next up is mashed potatoes.
Ye Fei took out a half-foot-long small rolling pin from the tool, and gently rolled it back and forth on the paper bag.
With the rolling over and over again, the potato pieces in the paper bag quickly turned into mashed potatoes.
After rolling for two full minutes, to make sure that the mashed potatoes were completely uniform, Ye Fei put away the small rolling pin, and carefully cut the paper bag from the side with scissors, revealing the mashed potatoes that were the same color as cornmeal inside.
There was no need to add anything to this mashed potato, Ye Fei could already smell a wonderful aroma.
"Sure enough, it's top quality. Just take out this mashed potato and buy it. People will probably line up to buy it. It's so fragrant. I've never smelled such an attractive potato fragrance before."
Ye Fei is looking forward to the potato and shrimp balls he is going to make more and more. He is looking forward to what kind of wonderful taste these kinds of top-quality ingredients will have when mixed.
Remove the mashed potatoes from the paper bag and place in a small bowl for later use.
This is when the prawns start cooking.
Still use the same pot, change the water, put the cleaned shrimp and shrimp tails in the pot and start cooking.
Cooking shrimp is also a science, because shrimp meat is a very tender meat. If the cooking time is too long, the shrimp meat will become old and hard, and the taste will be bad. If the cooking time is too short, it will not be cooked. heat.
So it takes about two to three minutes to cook the shrimp.
After the prawns turned red, Ye Fei fished them all out of the pot and put them on another plate.
Wait until the prawns are a little cooler and start peeling the prawn shells.
The shrimp shell is removed, and the shrimp meat is as white as jade, but there are light red lines on the back of the shrimp meat, which looks very beautiful and very attractive.
After these were done, Ye Fei put the four shrimp tails aside, chopped the shrimp meat into a puree with a knife, and put it together with the mashed potatoes.
The next step is to mix well.
When mixing the mashed potatoes and shrimps, Ye Fei put in the milk and white sugar provided by the system in an appropriate amount, and also added some chili powder and pepper powder in an appropriate amount.
Of course, these two materials can be chosen independently. If you don’t like spicy taste, you don’t need to add these two materials.
Everything was added, and the potato and shrimp paste was mixed by hand for two minutes, and finally began to knead the potato and shrimp balls. While kneading the potato and shrimp balls, Ye Fei also kneaded the shrimp tails, and the tails were exposed, which looked very nice.
Ye Fei's ingredients were very small, so he carefully kneaded four potato and shrimp balls, which were round, small and cute.
The potato shrimp balls are well kneaded, and then gently rolled in the bread crumbs provided by the system, so that the bread crumbs can wrap the four lovely shrimp balls.
This production is completely complete, and the next step is to fry.
Changing a pot, turning on the heat, Ye Fei put two boxes of top-quality rose cooking oil into it. After a while, the rose cooking oil melted, and a unique fragrance came out.
Ye Fei sucked his nose hard, almost drooling.
"I won't be bothered by this smell for a lifetime."
Not long after, the rose cooking oil was ready, and Ye Fei carefully put four potato and shrimp balls into it.
As soon as he put it in, Ye Fei smelled a more charming smell, which was a mixture of rose cooking oil, mashed potatoes and shrimp meat. There was a faint rose scent and the unique scent of potatoes. Ye Fei's whole body was immediately lifted by the delicious smell of fried shrimp meat.
"Made, it's the best product. The smell is unbearable. I really don't know what it will be like when I make it and eat it. I'm looking forward to it."
In fact, not only was he full of anticipation, but the little sharpie under his feet kept licking his lips. The puppy was still thinking: it smells so good, so good, so good, what the hell is this guy doing? Why is it so fragrant? Well, it seems to be more fragrant than fried meat, oh, I must eat one in a while.
The rose edible oil was boiling, and small oil bubbles appeared, and then exploded on the surface of the oil, sending waves of aromas into Ye Fei's nostrils non-stop.
Ye Fei wiped his mouth with his hand, then gulped.
His eyes were fixed on the four potato shrimp balls that were tossing up and down in the oil, and he saw that the four potato shrimp balls slowly changed color in the rose cooking oil.
At the beginning, the surface was a little white, but as time went by, the four potato shrimp balls gradually turned golden yellow.
"Fuck, I can't stand just looking at this color."
While talking, Ye Fei began to flip the four potato and shrimp balls with a colander.
When the frying was done, Ye Fei took four potato shrimp balls out of the oil and put them on a plate.
At this time, Ye Fei resisted the urge to eat, and when the four potato shrimp balls cooled down, he put them in the oil and started frying them.
This frying method can maximize the crispy appearance of the final potato shrimp balls.
This time it took a very short time. After a minute or two, Ye Fei fished out the four potato shrimp balls, drained the oil, and put them on a plate.
Ye Fei was excited at the thought that he would be able to eat this delicious food soon.
"Top-quality mashed potatoes, top-quality shrimp paste, top-quality cooking oil, top-quality ingredients, everything is top-quality. If the taste is not top-quality, I'm sorry for these ingredients."
Ye Fei stared at the four shrimp balls on the plate, picked them up, and carefully placed them on the small table beside them.
But just as he put the plate on the table, at this moment, he saw a sudden black shadow flying over. Before he could react, there were only three potato and shrimp balls left on the plate.
Ye Fei: "x-on:#$%&"
"Damn it, Xiaopi, I'm not done with you!! Get out, get out of here, get out of here, get out of here."
In Ye Fei's heart, ten thousand alpacas galloped past madly, and he was really going crazy.
The potato and shrimp balls that I finally made, I hadn't had time to eat them, but I let the puppy sneak one away, it was really crazy.
