Chapter 274 Sixi Tangtuan Class A Soak the starch water twice. Qin Huai fell into deep thought when he heard Cao Guixiang say this. Meat-soaked starch water is a very common cooking technique, but it is rarely used on white tables, because this method is usually to make the meat tenderer and is usually used in cooking methods of frying and stir-frying. When making meat-filled snacks in Qinhuai, what you usually need to consider is how to make the meat tighter and lock in the juice. Qin Huai thought quietly for a few minutes, Cao Guixiang didn't say anything during Qin Huai's thinking, but just smiled and waited for his thoughts to end. "May I ask, how long does it take to soak the starch water twice?" Qin Huai asked. "I don't know." Cao Guixiang shook her head, "I don't know how to make Sixi Tangtu, and there is no way to tell you the time and dosage accurately. But I think this is a good way to improve the taste and taste of the meat. The method of scallop water is much easier to use.” "Dry scallop water is a good way to improve freshness, but it is not suitable for Sixi Tangtuan. The meat filling glutinous rice dumplings in Sixi Tangtuan plays a role in connecting the past and integrating the past and the future, and does not need to highlight its freshness too much. .” After hearing what Cao Guixiang said, Qin Huai knew that although Cao Guixiang could not make Sixi Tangtuan, she must be a master of cooking.
She knows Sixi Tangtuan very well. "Okay, thank you for your reminder, I'll try it now." Qinhuai is also an action faction when it comes to improving the recipe. After he thought in his heart that the method Cao Guixiang said must be useful, he directly put the meat stuffing that had just been prepared on the side to find out if there was any cut meat stuffing. Today, Aunt Wang is not here, so she went back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. The main force in cutting meat is the second son-in-law of the village chief's family. The new batch of meat fillings had not been chopped yet, so Qin Huai had to make tang glutinous rice dumplings first. Go outside to see if Qin Luo was still arguing with Zhang Zhiyun. If the argument was over, let the child go into the house to write the paper. The papers left by the tutoring teachers have not finished yet. Qin Huai went out, but Cao Guixiang had no intention of leaving. She turned around in the kitchen, looking at each finished filling without moving. Finally, she looked at the helper who chopped meat filling from a distance and found the aunt who was cutting candied fruit with sleeves. "Girl, do you still have sleeves?" Cao Guixiang asked. The old lady who cut the candied fruit didn't know Cao Guixiang, thinking she was a new helper and was very close to Qinhuai, so she could chat first and then work, and enthusiastically gave her a new pair of flower sleeves: "Yes, there are also aprons." , I'll get it for you there!" Two minutes later, Cao Guixiang, who put on the red apron flower sleeves, had fully integrated into the kitchen. Like all housewives who integrated into the kitchen, she found a class for herself in the Qin family's large kitchen during the Chinese New Year. After completing the test work for Qin Luo today, Qin Huai returned to the kitchen. He was shocked when he saw Cao Guixiang's dress. "Cao...Grandma Cao, you..." "I'll help." Cao Guixiang said with a smile, picked up a chopped meat machete from the knife holder and walked to the edge of the chopping board. The helper in the chopping meat group naturally gave Cao Guixiang a free place. Today, the main force, Aunt Wang, was not here. Everyone thinks that Cao Guixiang must be the helper in chopping meat that Qin Huai has newly caught. The second son-in-law of the village chief's family also enthusiastically introduced the work tasks to Cao Guixiang: "This meat must be chopped first and then chopped, use great strength, and... wait, let me see if there are any other requirements." The second son-in-law of the village chief’s family forgot his words as he spoke and started to take out his cell phone. Cao Guixiang answered: "To keep the meat in a tight and loose middle state, the filling itself does not need to lock in the juice, nor can it be too loose. It does not need to have a tepy texture like meatballs, nor can it be like chopped meat. The cake is as soft and weak.” "Yes, yes! That's it!" The village chief's second son-in-law actually didn't remember exactly what the requirements were, but he thought Cao Guixiang was saying it was very right. Seeing Qin Huai coming back, Cao Guixiang smiled at Qin Huai: "It's also idle. My old man is chatting with Secretary Qin. I think you are a little too busy here, so I volunteered to help chop meat. Master Qin, you should Don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Qin Huai said repeatedly, his feet fixed on the spot and stopped leaving. He stood by and watched how Cao Guixiang chopped the meat. Cao Guixiang chooses meat before chopping the meat. The advantage of going to the countryside is that the quality and freshness of the ingredients are guaranteed. In Huang Ji, Huang Anyao wanted to get such good quality fresh pork from the supplier, so he might have to pay more money, and he also had to call the supplier in advance to notify the supplier. The key point is to emphasize that Huang Ji had an important banquet that day that must have the best quality pork. In this case, it depends on the supply of goods in the hands of the supplier, and you may not be able to get the best quality. But in Qinjia Village, especially during the Chinese New Year. As long as Qin Huai thinks, if he sees a pig in the village in the morning, the pig will be cleaned by the best pig slaughter that morning and appears in the Qin family's big kitchen. In an hour, the pork will be turned into meat filling. Tangtuan returned to this family. The vegetables and meat that can appear in the Qin family are strictly selected by villagers. Cao Guixiang picked a few pieces of lean meat. There is almost no fat meat, and it depends on the color and pattern. The fried meat must be very delicious. Cut the meat into pieces. Cao Guixiang looked just an ordinary and elderly housewife. The moment she held the kitchen knife, her aura changed suddenly. Not only was the sharp sword technique, but she was extremely strong when she chopped off each knife, and she was very strong to put the next village. The second son-in-law of the eldest family made him a lazy fish apprentice. Soon, several pieces of lean meat were cut by Cao Guixiang into diced diced meat of equal size that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. The speed was so fast that everyone around was stunned. The second son-in-law of the village chief's family was shocked and felt that the identity of the person in charge of cutting meat today was not guaranteed. He hurriedly asked the people around him: "She is also a beef ball?!" "Where is her store open? Her craftsmanship looks much better than Sister Wang." Qinhuai:…6 Cao Guixiang was not idle. Cutting the meat into diced meat is just the first step in making the meat filling. The real difficulty is actually to cut the diced meat into half the minced meat. The concept of this step is very similar to the chopping of the crab paste lion head with a fine cut and thick cut, but the crab paste lion head pursues the chopped meat and diced meat, and use a rough big knife to cut it out. The meat filling of Sixi Tangtuan does not need to be so rough. He needs to cut the meat into a state that is very close to the minced meat, and then chop it finely. Cao Guixiang said that she would not make Sixi Tangtuan, but she couldn't tell at all when she chopped the meat. The meat she chopped was so standard that it seemed like she had been secretly making Sixi Tangtuan at home in recent years. Cao Guixiang even had the leisure and elegance to chat with Qinhuai. "Master Qin, I heard from Secretary Qin that you learn your skills in making snacks by yourself by reading recipes." Cao Guixiang said. "That's right. When I was in elementary school, I bought a book called "Dimsum Collection" at the flea market. At the beginning, a lot of dim sum was studied with that book." "But I also have many masters in Gusu to guide me. Master Huang Shengli and Master Zheng Da from Huangji Restaurant have taught me a lot. Sixi Tangtuan learned it from Master Zheng." Cao Guixiang nodded, thinking that this was reasonable. First, rely on your own talent to explore and then make great progress after being guided by famous teachers. Otherwise, it would be too perverted to rely solely on self-study. More perverted than she was back then. "Then who is your master?" "There is no master." Qin Huai said, "Master Huang and Master Zheng are both half of my masters, but I have not worshipped the master in the true sense." Qin Huai said, feeling a little embarrassed: "Actually, I know that Master Zheng really wants to accept me as his apprentice, but I really don't have this idea, I always feel..."
"The fate between master and apprentice is almost there." Cao Guixiang asked with a smile. When he saw Qin Huai, he thought it was Qin Huai's agreement. "This is normal. I don't know if the chef will still accept apprentices like I did back then. When I became a disciple, my master was half of my parents sometimes even more important than my biological parents.” "Accepting disciples is about fate, and becoming a disciple is about fate. If you think the fate is not here, you don't have to force it. If you are forced, it's good to be a registered disciple if you really can't be a registered disciple." While talking, Cao Guixiang's meat filling was chopped. After installing the basin, Cao Guixiang put down the knife: "You can divide it into several portions and try it a few more times." "Although I have a master, I don't have an apprentice. I'm not deliberately not telling you how to soak it for a while, but I really don't know what this method is like for a white snack." "I haven't taught my apprentice and don't know how to teach. You can only try it yourself and watch it." Qin Huai took the basin and said, "You are already very good at teaching." Through the just-in-law demonstration, Qin Huai has already determined in his heart that Cao Guixiang's cooking skills may be higher than Huang Shengli. Huang Shengli couldn't do such a vague description, while chatting with people, while chopping out meat stuffing that he didn't understand but also had very suitable dim sum. Qin Huai still looked at the meat filling in the basin and felt that he saw the love filling in his dream! Who knows about his family? He just seemed to fall in love with a plate of meat filling at first sight. What a beautiful meat filling, what a beautiful color, what a delicate knife skills, what a delicate texture. Who would have thought that a slightly fat old lady who seemed so ordinary had such excellent sword skills? This sword skill must be of master level! No, maybe even above the master level, but because Qin Huai himself is too scared to know what is above the master level. Qinhuai divided the meat filling into several parts and started soaking starch water according to what Cao Guixiang said. Soaking starch water is a very vague statement. Qin Huai initially thought that Cao Guixiang said that there were other methods to soak the starch water, such as soaking the meat filling in starch water and rubbing it, so that the meat filling could fully absorb the starch water. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! The result is nothing, it's pure bubble. Let the meat fillet take a bath in starch water. Out of caution, soak the first portion of Qinhuai for 5 minutes to see the effect. Then I didn't see any effect. Qin Huai looked at Cao Guixiang again, and saw that Cao Guixiang didn't say anything, so he soaked it again. Soaked for 5 minutes. No effect can be seen. Seeing that Cao Guixiang still didn't say anything, Qin Huai had to start mixing the meat filling without understanding. The meat filling of Sixi Tangtuan is very simple because it does not require too much seasoning. It pursues a simple and original pork flavor and the most rustic taste. Qinhuai started to mix the filling normally and stir.
Stir hard. Stir...hey. Why is this meat filling so obedient? In Zheng Da's words, why did this meat filling suddenly become so soulful? Why does he cooperate so well during the stirring process? It seems to feel better when kneading. This means that when it is finished and is wrapped in the glutinous rice ball, put it in the pot and cooked and taken out to eat, the taste will be smoother and more palatable. Does soaking starch water twice has such magical effects? Starch water is so terrifying! Seeing that Qin Huai had discovered the mystery, Cao Guixiang didn't say much. After taking a look, she thought she could go outside and listen to gossip first, and then return. Cao Guixiang and his family live in the city, and it will take a lot of time to go back. Seeing that Cao Guixiang was about to leave, Qin Huai quickly called her: "Grandma Cao... No, Master Cao, can you wait for another quarter of an hour? I'm now bringing two complete Sixi Tangbans. After cooking, you can taste what it tastes. Walk." Cao Guixiang stopped and said, "Okay." Qinhuai quickly made glutinous rice dumplings and cooked them in one pot. There were only 8 glutinous rice dumplings in total, which cooked very quickly. Qin Huai seized the time to pack some of them. He glanced at the pot, and was a little nervous and a little absent-minded. Cao Guixiang was watching Qinhuai Baotang with great interest, while looking at the Void Bag in her hand, looking at the posture that she wanted to read and learn. The dumplings are ready. Qin Huai was stunned. The wrapped dumpling was held in my hand and I didn't put it down for a long time. He could not believe his eyes. He even wanted to learn from Qin Luo and He Cheng to hug Cao Guixiang's thighs, and cried and shouted loudly: Master Cao, Master Cao, don't leave, Master Cao, please stay for two days, I beg you After Master Cao, you can stay for two days! 【Sixi Doughnut A-level】 This is A-level? So fast, so suddenly, without any warning, just...A-level. Just soak the meat filling twice and it will be A-level. At this moment, Qin Huai had two villains in his heart, and one villain was roaring: Are you stupid? What does this have to do with starch water? It has a lot to do with the meat filling chopped by Cao Guixiang! Another villain was screaming: Are you stupid? Why are you still standing there? Don’t you even have a chair in the kitchen? Didn’t you see Master Cao still standing? Come and move a chair for Master Cao to sit down! Where is the tea? Get tea quickly! "Master Xiao Qin, is Sixi Tangtuan cooked?" Cao Guixiang asked. Qin Huai hurriedly went to fish for fishing, and said while fishing, "Master Cao, don't call me Master Xiao Qin, just call me Xiao Qin."
"He Cheng, move a chair for Master Cao!" Qinhuai put out two bowls of glutinous rice balls, let them cool down, and then went to pour tea without stopping. Alas, the old branch secretary asked for leave today, but the tea was not enough, and he had made a mistake. He had known that he would have learned to make tea with the people of Zhiweiju during Huang Ji. At this moment, Qin Huai knew what skills meant to be used only when he was too late. "Master Cao is thirsty, drink a sip of tea to moisten your throat." Qin Huai respectfully handed the tea cup. Cao Guixiang was a little confused by Qin Huai's enthusiasm, but she was very accustomed to everyone's sudden enthusiasm. She took the teacup and drank half of the cup with great relief. Qin Huai took out his cell phone and showed the humble smile that was exclusive to Master Qin. "Master Cao, let's add WeChat." "What problems do I encounter in making snacks in the future? Can you ask you on WeChat?" "Okay." Cao Guixiang nodded happily, "Ask me any questions, as long as you have any questions. It's okay for me, an old lady, to be at home after retirement. I remember Secretary Qin said that your family lives in Qiu County." "Qiu County is very close to the city. If you have time to come to the city for fun after the New Year, you will also come to my house to discuss the mold with my Lao Zhang." "Today, Xiao Qin, you entertain us. When we come to the city, we will entertain you. I will make a table of my specialty dishes for you to try my skills." "Sure! Master Cao, I will definitely send you a message on WeChat to tell you in advance before I go to the city!" (End of this chapter)
