Dare to cook

Chapter 216 Overtime – Red Mansion Dim Sum

Tangdao Bay, inside the main venue.

When the staff heard Shen Yongrong's call, they immediately brought over a handwriting electronic tablet.

Shen Yongrong was slightly taken aback, and said to the staff: "I said I want a pen and paper, why do you bring me a clipboard?"

The staff member looked slightly embarrassed:
"I'm really sorry, we didn't prepare paper, ink, pen and inkstone in advance, only the iPad."

The conversation between the two was faithfully broadcast live by the camera crew.

The audience at the scene laughed loudly.

The staff member continued awkwardly:

"This ipad has already established a connection with our big screen. If you have thought about the problem, you can write it on it, and the big screen will immediately display your problem."

Shen Yongrong shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

Originally, he wanted to show off his calligraphy and pretend to be an intellectual in a silent place.

But now...

"It's so boring." Mr. Shen muttered, and then wrote down the question of overtime on the tablet——Yihong's point
"Yihong, be more careful? What does this mean?" Shen Qiuming wondered in the audience.

Yang Rui touched his chin and said:
"I don't know, does Yihong mean Yihong Academy? This question seems a bit unserious."

"That's how it is!" Chu Huangyou seemed to be stunned, "I didn't expect that Mr. Shen, who is old-hearted, dares to drive in public. He is really a role model for us!"

Ding Binghui also nodded with a serious face and said, "That's great, Mr. Shen!"

On the side, Zhao Jingxi rolled her eyes when she heard this.

She looked at these ignorant and ignorant idiots with disdain and said:
"Don't you all study? Yihong does refer to Yihongyuan, but it's not the messy place you think. It specifically refers to the place where Jia Baoyu lived in Dream of Red Mansions."

"Small points mean dim sum."

"So Mr. Shen came up with this competition question because he wanted Yao Yu and Chen Yu to make a snack that appeared in Dream of Red Mansions!"

"Huh? So that's what it means?" Yang Rui looked a little disappointed.

Chu Huangyou even whispered: "Who said we don't read books. Can I also read classics when I am free?"

Shen Qiu Ming said with vacant eyes: "The classics you are talking about don't mean The Golden Lotus, right?"

Chu Huangyou laughed and said:
"Old Shen, how did you guess it? Could it be that you are also a fellow? Did you read the illustrated version with color illustrations, or just read the CD?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xingchen coughed dryly and said:

"You guys are enough! If we continue talking, we will attract the river crab beast."

……

On the arena, when Chu Huangyou and his group of bastards were talking about each other, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu looked at the competition questions and fell into deep thought.

With Yao Yu's personality, he definitely wouldn't read the original novel of A Dream of Red Mansions.

At most, when there is a remake of the Red Mansions drama, I will secretly take a look at the ladies in costume.

Therefore, Yao Yu knew very little about the details of the plot in the original Red Chamber.

However, in the past few years, in Jiangnan and Beijing, many restaurants have hyped and promoted the concept of "Red Mansion Banquet" and "Red Mansion Cuisine".

As a chef, Yao Yu also went out of his way to understand the origins and recipes of those dishes.

There is only one hour of overtime.

When Shen Yongrong announced the competition questions, staff immediately pushed out the ingredients.

Yao Yu thought about it, and decided to make a dish that appeared in the 87 version of the Red Chamber TV series - Qingwen Baozi.

Qingwen steamed buns are actually steamed buns wrapped in tofu skin.

It got such a name because Qingwen, a maid in Baoyu's room, liked to eat it very much.

Yao Yu made a decision and immediately selected northern tofu, fried bean skin, mushrooms, leeks, dried shrimps, pork, dried vermicelli and other ingredients from the ingredients.

At the same time, Lu Chenyu selected wheat flour, crab, pork, shrimp, cabbage and other ingredients.

"You want to make crab dumplings?"

"Do you want to make Qingwen steamed buns?"

Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu asked in unison after seeing the ingredients selected by the other party.

As soon as the words fell, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Lu Chenyu said:

"The dishes we cook are different this time."

"I'd like to see if it's your Qingwen steamed stuffed bun that gets the high score, or my crab dumpling that brings me victory."

Yao Yu smiled and said:

"Okay, leave me two dumplings, I want to try them later!"

Lu Chenyu was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "We are opponents now, are you not afraid that I will prescribe medicine to you?"

"If you want to be willing, it's up to you to listen." Yao Yu chuckled and ran away after teasing.

Feeling very exciting.

……

There are many ways to make tofu skin buns.

Dream of Red Mansions only shows a general appearance, and does not explain what kind of stuffing is inside the steamed buns.

Therefore, Yao Yu made it according to the combination of ingredients that he had tried before.

Anyway, as long as there are pork, leeks, and tofu in the stuffing of buns, the judges can't count him as off topic.

Back at the stove, Yao Yu quickly soaked sea rice and shiitake mushrooms in water, and chopped pork and northern tofu.

Then, boil a pot of water, put the dried vermicelli into the pot and cook until soft, then remove it from cold water, and chop it with a knife.

then……

It is to soak mushrooms and sea rice with warm water.

There was only one hour of overtime, and Yao Yu could not wait for the mushrooms and dried shrimps to soak naturally.

So he can only soak it in cold water first, then in warm water, and finally pour the warm water into a pot to heat it up and boil it slowly.

Of course, the mushrooms and dried shrimps soaked in this way will not taste as good as those soaked naturally.

It can only be done in a hurry, and use this trick when there is no other way.

But fortunately, Yao Yu didn't need too much sea rice and shiitake mushrooms. Even if Yao Yu used this method to soak the shiitake mushrooms, it didn't have much effect on the dishes in the end.

Chop the soaked shiitake mushrooms, mix them with pork and tofu with sea rice, add salt, sesame oil, and five-spice powder, and stir well.

Next, it is necessary to change the oily bean curd into a square with a side length of 10 cm, put the adjusted filling on the bean curd, and then fold it in half to wrap it.

The fried bean skin is not a dough skin and is not sticky in itself.

Therefore, when using it to wrap steamed buns, you have to use leek leaves as a rope to tie the opening above the bean skin tightly.

After the bean curd buns are wrapped, they can be steamed in a basket.

Generally, steaming for about 6-15 minutes will do.

The specific adjustment time depends on the heat and the ratio of ingredients.

While steaming the bean curd buns, Yao Yu was not idle, but made some dipping sauce with light soy sauce, rice vinegar and sea rice soup.

Food like fried bean skin is relatively dry.

When it is made into steamed buns and eaten, it will taste better if it is paired with a bowl of hot soup.

According to Yao Yu's taste, he would definitely like to have a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup or celery egg drop soup when eating fried bean curd buns.

Eating two steamed buns and drinking a mouthful of soup can satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst. It is simply a great pleasure in the world...

That taste makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Then goose.

The theme of this competition is Yihong, and there is no way to eat Qingwen steamed stuffed buns with soup in Dream of Red Mansions.

Yao Yu didn't take the risk of superfluous.
