Chapter 716 Eating Dumplings During the Chinese New Year
Konoha Village, Yang Ming's shop.
Today is the annual New Year's Day. Although the New Year's Eve in Konoha Village is slightly different from Yang Ming's original world, the rich festive atmosphere is clearly revealed early in the morning.
Early in the morning, lanterns and festoons have been put up in various places, and people dressed in new clothes take to the streets joyfully.
In order to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, Yang Ming also specially launched a series of New Year delicacies to welcome guests from all over the world.
Now, Yang Ming is preparing a dish that he will definitely eat during the Chinese New Year.
That is, dumplings!
The dumplings that ordinary people can make suddenly become extraordinary when they fall into Yang Ming's hands.
Different from the dumplings made by other people, the dumplings made by Yang Ming do not require dipping.
The secret lies in the process of making dumplings by Yang Ming.
Yang Ming cracked fresh pork bones a day in advance and cooked the bone marrow soup. After the broth seeps into the skin, browning the dumplings appropriately can make the dumplings more fragrant, and you don't need to use dipping sauce.
The dumpling skin is not simple at all, it contains the wisdom of a chef.
For the dough, Yang Ming used yam to make a paste, then added a little water and kneaded it directly.
Just like doing Tai Chi, Yang Ming uses the power of yin and yang. The power is neither too big nor too small, but just right. The resulting dumpling skin is very unique.
On the side, Jiraiya saw this and immediately rolled up his sleeves.
"Hey, boss, this isn't easy, look at me!"
"Rasengan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of sky-blue balls appeared in Jiraiya's hand, spinning at an extremely fast speed, and then fell into the dough.
But to Jiraiya's surprise, he could use Rasengan to make dumpling wrappers, but it couldn't be used to make dumpling wrappers!
Under the impact of the rasengan, the dough fell apart, with countless pieces splattering in all directions.
Seeing this, Jiraiya retracted his hand in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly: "Boss, I didn't mean it, really!"
Yang Ming looked at the messy kitchen, twitched the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and said lightly:
"Jiraiya, you don't have to say anything anymore, I'll punish you by not eating staff meals for a month!"
"Nani?" Jiraiya looked confused and wailed like a pig: "Don't!"
Yang Ming shook his head and made another batch of dough.
Different from ordinary dumplings, the dumplings are made of clear flour. After the dough is kneaded and pressed, Yang Ming uses a kitchen knife to press out pieces of dumpling skin.
The dumpling skin prepared by Yang Ming is not as thin as ordinary people's, but in the ideal state, also called mandarin duck skin, which is half thin and half thick, with a thin surface and a thick bottom. In this way, the steamed dumplings are not easy to reveal the fillings and have a good taste. good.
Yang Mingxing's flowing movements are both simple and beautiful, like an ink landscape painting, full of spirituality, and cannot be seen at all. This is a very boring thing.
Yang Ming raised his hands and lowered them. The dumpling wrapper fell into his palm as lightly as a butterfly, and then he put in the fillings.
The dumplings are stuffed with three delicacies stuffing, which contains pork fat soaked in red oil. The red oil is made from sesame paste, chili oil, vinegar, star anise, cinnamon, and coriander.
This unique filling makes the dumplings delicious without dipping.
Then, Yang Ming's fingers were extremely nimble, just like a senior pianist. His ten fingers worked as one, wrapping the dumplings with precision.
The entire dumpling is in the shape of a crescent moon, crystal clear, white and red inside, with a thin and tough skin. The filling should be pork and juicy, and the pork should be smooth, elastic and full of flavor.
There is an ancient poem that says:
"The cicada's clothes are exposed through the fan of the fan, and the bright red smile is half full of infatuation."
This poem also writes this beauty into a poem, comparing the hazy beauty of dumplings to a beautiful woman wearing a veil. Just one glance will make you unforgettable and indulge in this beauty.
During the production process of Yang Ming, a group of employees had already gathered around him.
Ran Wan blinked his big eyes and poked the dumpling wrapper with his finger. He felt that it was soft and elastic, and it was great!
"It looks delicious. When can we start eating?"
Seeing this, Lei Ya quickly pulled Ranwan back and cursed with a smile:
"Don't disturb the boss! Do you still want to eat dumplings?"
"Oh!" Ranmaru pouted slightly and nodded obediently.
In addition to the dumpling wrappers, the dumplings made by Yang Ming are also very particular about the shape. The pleats are long and clear, and the number must be more than 10 pleats, like a curved comb, so the dumplings in the past also had curved comb dumplings. The elegant name.
In terms of taste, the dumplings are required not only to be elastic, but also delicious. When you bite into it, the elastic pork, the salty sauce and the wonderful dumpling skin are like playing wonderful music in your mouth. After eating a cage, Still don't feel satisfied.
When making dumplings, the 10-pleat standard is not for Yang Ming to show off his skills, but to reserve enough space for the pork to ooze juice.
When the dumplings are wrapped one by one, the fillings are full and ready to come out. The dumpling skins are thin and crystal clear. They look like treasures that can be treasured for hundreds of years. Each one reveals an ordinary but not simple charm, which makes people drool. Very greedy.
After doing this, Yang Ming began to fry some of the dumplings.
Yang Ming heated the oil in the frying pan, placed the wrapped dumplings evenly in the pan, then added pork bone soup to about 1/3 of the dumplings, then closed the lid and slowly waited for the soup to simmer.
When the hot pot boils, the steam evaporates, and the water vapor fills the air, and the entire pot lid is obscured by water vapor, Yang Ming takes out the dumplings.
Yang Ming tried one.
There is nothing to say about the taste. The red oil is prepared so that you can eat it directly without dipping it in vinegar. You can feel the sour flavor of the sauce. The fat will not melt during the frying of the dumplings. As for the soup stock instead of water, You can clearly feel the aroma during the process of frying the dumplings. The flavor after the soup stock moistens the dumplings is so good and charming that you can't stop eating it.
Then, Yang Ming took out another part of the dumplings and used them for steaming.
After the dumplings are made, they have to be steamed to create a delicious taste. When steaming dumplings, the most fearful thing is that water vapor will drip on the dough. People in the past were really smart and knew how to use bamboo steamers to absorb water and keep the snacks dry. Even Yang Ming There are various steamers, but they still cannot produce the ideal effect of traditional bamboo cages.
Desserts must be made with great care and attention. Without proper craftsmanship and inheritance of tradition, it is impossible to make delicious food that touches people's hearts.
As the smoke fills the air, the dumplings inside the bamboo cage reveal a pleasant fragrance, with the sultry aroma of bamboo and dumplings, which is fascinating.
Gulu! Gulu!
Smelling this wonderful fragrance, all the employees present felt hungry and thirsty!
Sure enough, eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year is my favorite!
