Chapter 258

evening.

Yang Ming couldn't stand Tsunade's stalking, and was finally dragged by her into the hotel where Tsunade and Shizune were staying.

Of course, it is accompanied by Jiraiya who bears a heavy responsibility.

Because the town is small, the chefs in the hotel cook only some farm dishes, which can only barely fill the stomach, which is not to Yang Ming's taste.

In desperation, he had to cook himself.

At this moment, what he wants to do is a home-cooked dish, dumplings.

Dumplings, also known as dumplings, are a kind of semi-circular pasta with fillings. Because of their slightly flat shape, they are also called "flat food" in some places.

"Qing Barnyard Banknotes" said: "There is stuffing in it, or it is called vermicelli - and it can be steamed or fried, and it can be boiled with soup called dumplings."

Yang Ming once entered the world of Xiaodangjia, and learned a special way of making dumplings in Yangquan Restaurant.

That is, shrimp dumplings.

As a special dish in Yangcheng, shrimp dumplings are different from other places in China in terms of fillings and dumpling wrappers.

First, Yang Ming cooked the fat meat, and then cut them into small cubes with the help of elementary knife skills, each one the size of a mung bean.

Yang Ming put the diced fat meat in a bowl for later use, then took out a kitchen knife, peeled the shrimp meat to remove the fishy line, washed it, and then wiped the water dry with paper.

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details.

If the moisture of the shrimp meat is not sucked dry, it will not be easy to stick together when the filling is stirred evenly later.

Then, Yang Ming patted the shrimp flat with a knife face. During this process, Yang Ming was extremely careful, for fear that if he patted too hard accidentally, he would pat the shrimp meat into a puree, which would be unpalatable.

Afterwards, Yang Ming cut a knife in the middle of the shrimp's back, which can ensure that the shrimp meat can be steamed better during the steaming process.

Of course, it is also possible to use only these as fillings.

But in this way, the taste of the dumplings will be too monotonous and easy to get greasy.

Therefore, Yang Ming specially prepared horseshoes.

The horseshoe is refreshing and sweet, which can improve the taste of dumplings, and at the same time increase its flavor, which is the best way to kill two birds with one stone.

Yang Ming washed and peeled the horseshoes, and with his junior knife skills, cut them into small cubes the same size as fat meat.

Then, Yang Ming poured all the fillings into a big bowl.

Then, add salt, chicken essence, sugar, sesame oil, white pepper powder and egg whites, and add chopped carrots and coriander.

Yang Ming used his hands to grasp evenly in a clockwise direction. At the same time, while grasping, he picked up and beat vigorously into the bowl.

Through this kind of beating, the taste of various seasonings can be integrated into the filling, which is commonly known as delicious.

It can be seen that with the passage of time, the originally distinct fillings, after some stirring, gradually merged into one, becoming you in me, and me in you, and it is difficult to separate each other.

After the filling is finished, it is the turn of the dumpling wrapper.

Yang Ming first washed his hands with clean water, focusing on removing the peculiar smell on his hands, and then started making dumpling wrappers.

Because the stuffing needs to be marinated for a period of time after the filling is evenly mixed, so it is arranged to make dumpling wrappers later.

As for why shrimp dumplings are different from other dumplings?

Here is where the mystery will be revealed.

Because the dumpling skin of shrimp dumplings is not only made of starch, but also added with Chengfen.

Yang Ming put a pot of water first, turned off the heat after the water boiled, immediately poured the flour and starch into it at the same time, and quickly stirred in the same direction with a rolling pin.

In this process, the speed must be fast!

Never be slow!

Otherwise, the whole flour will not be able to form a ball, and it will be easy to disperse, and it will have to be done again at that time.

The flour mixed in this way is very strong, almost sticking together. Yang Ming needs to use a rolling pin to get it out one by one, put them on the chopping board one by one, then add a little lard as a lubricant, and then knead it into a smooth dough by hand. dough.

Taking advantage of the fact that the flour was still hot, Yang Ming didn't dare to waste any time, and quickly started rolling the dough.

Yang Ming took out a small amount of flour and rolled it into a thin round sheet with a rolling pin. Because of the addition of clear powder, it looked almost transparent.

Then it was stuffed with shrimp. Yang Ming was already familiar with this at Yangquan Restaurant, and everything went smoothly.

Almost at the same time, he sent the skin with the index finger of his left hand, and pinched the thumb and index finger of his right hand.

Making shrimp dumplings is not the same as making ordinary dumplings. They must be small and delicate, that is, small in size, folded evenly, and should not be dense.

The wrapped shrimp dumplings are generally a little smaller than other kinds of dumplings.

However, compared to other dumplings, the skin of shrimp dumplings is very thin and crystal clear, and the meat filling inside can be clearly seen from the outside.

Especially when I saw the whole shrimp, I became more appetizing, and my saliva was like a waterfall hanging upside down.

Yang Ming made full use of the space on the plate to arrange the wrapped shrimp dumplings into several concentric circles, and then steamed them in the hot pot that had been prepared.

Accompanied by the inhalation of the clouds and mist, a puff of fragrance permeated the air, making people even more hungry, wishing to have a quick meal of Dadou.

At this time, Tsunade and his party were arguing in the room.

Tsunade slammed the table, almost roaring: "Jiraiya, how many times have I said that I am not interested in the position of Hokage!"

Facing the roar of the Hedong lion, Zilai also teased his earwax, with a look of no surprise.

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade calmly, his face was uncharacteristically serious, deep in his calm eyes, there was a radiance of great wisdom and foolish wisdom.

To be honest, among the three disciples of the third generation, Jiraiya is actually the one who has truly inherited the will of fire.

However, Jiraiya has always been lazy and doesn't want to be Hokage at all.

At this time, he persuaded with an extremely serious tone: "Tsunade, whether you want this time or not, you have to go back with me to inherit Hokage."

The corner of Tsunade's mouth twitched, revealing a half-smile.

"Jiraiya, you don't think I'm addicted to casinos, so I don't know anything about Danzo's declaration of war on Otonin Village recently?"

Jiraiya clasped his hands together and put them under his chin, "So what?"

"You are the granddaughter of the first generation, and it is justifiable to inherit Hokage. It is not something Danzo can shake at all."

Just when Tsunade was about to say something, a burst of fragrance suddenly came from the kitchen.

In this fragrance, mixed with the umami taste of shrimp meat, it is even more impressive.

Tsunade's beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine, and he inhaled fiercely through his nose, "It smells so good!"

"Is this Yang Ming's cooking?"

“It's so exciting!”

While talking, Tsunade took this opportunity to get rid of Jiraiya's entanglement, and walked in the direction of the fragrance.

It seems that this is another master who steals food.

Seeing this, Jirai couldn't help but smiled wryly, "It seems that Tsunade still hasn't completely let go of his brother and Kato's death."
