Siheyuan: Open a breakfast shop and make the city cry with envy

Chen Food Diary

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ze saw off Wang Yijun and others.

For some reason, Chen Ze always felt that there was something strange about them, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Chen Ze scratched his head in confusion.

For some reason, he felt that the way Wang Yijun and the other three looked at him was too strange.

Wang Yijun and his companions came quietly and left quietly.

The concealment is done quite well.

None of the customers recognized any of them.

No one knew that in the kitchen of Chen Shi Ji, several famous chefs in Beijing were competing against each other! !

No one knew that Wang Yijun, the number one Shandong cuisine chef in Beijing and the head chef of Fengze Garden, actually lost to Chen Ze.

……

Time passed bit by bit.

3pm.

【Chen Food Diary】The most relaxing and leisurely moment.

All the waiters were resting in the store.

In the kitchen, Niu Ermao also started a bragging contest with a group of apprentices.

Pushing open the back kitchen door, Chen Ze walked in.

His eyes turned to Niu Ermao who was bragging excitedly on the side.

Wave.

The latter's eyes lit up instantly, he understood what he meant, and ran to Chen Ze in one step.

"Boss, are there any new dishes???"

Niu Ermao was so excited!

Ever since he saw the competition between Chen Ze and Wang Yijun at noon, Niu Ermao has been full of admiration for Chen Ze.

As the descendant of Niu family cuisine, his knife skills are not particularly sophisticated, but he has made some progress.

Besides, who in the city doesn't know Wang Yijun? !

The leader of Shandong cuisine, Fengzeyuan’s signature chef!

The knife work is superb.

Even this is what I lost to Chen Ze!!

My knife skills are not as good as Chen Ze’s, and my cooking skills are also not as good as Chen Ze’s!

The boss is only in his twenties, but he can leave Wang Yijun behind.

Niu Ermao was so excited!!

I followed the right person!!

Chen Ze nodded calmly.

Recently, the store introduced several Sichuan dishes, and the response was very good.

Customers like it too.

So, today Chen Ze plans to add a dessert on top of the spicy and numb flavors.

Unique Sichuan desserts!!

"That's right, today I'll teach you how to make a dish!!!"

Niu Ermao was even more excited!!

"Are there any red beans in the kitchen?" Chen Ze's voice sounded in my ear.

Niu Ermao was confused for a moment.

What do you want to do with red beans?

Is it related to the new dish???

Although he didn't know what Chen Ze was going to do, Niu Ermao still answered honestly.

"some!"

"We still have more than 20 kilograms of red beans in the kitchen."

Chen Ze nodded.

"You arrange for someone to cook all these twenty pounds of red beans into red bean paste!!"

Red bean paste? ?

Chen Ze actually needs bean paste?

What kind of dish is this?

Niu Ermao was even more confused.

Are red bean paste still used in Shandong and Sichuan cuisines?

Generally speaking, these bean pastes are used by Chen Shiji when making pastries and wrapping bean paste buns.

Chen Ze actually wanted to cook all the red beans into bean paste.

Niu Ermao couldn't figure it out.

……

After half an hour.

A large pot filled with more than twenty kilograms of red bean paste was placed in front of Chen Ze.

"Boss, all the bean paste is here! It's guaranteed to be soft and mushy!!"

Chen Ze nodded.

Simply bring a vegetable bowl and pour two-thirds of the bean paste in the pot into the bowl.

Then pick up the rolling pin and wrap one end with clean gauze.

Pound the bean paste in the bowl vigorously.

In the 1980s, there were no wall-breaking machines on the market.

If you want to beat the bean paste into a paste, you can only beat it with a rolling pin.

Ten minutes later, Chen Ze was tired of pounding and threw the rolling pin directly to Niu Ermao.

The latter continued to hammer and pound.

Twenty minutes later.

With the efforts of the two, the whole bowl of bean paste turned into a paste.

A whole pot of red.

"Boss, what dish are you going to make?"

Niu Ermao couldn't help it and asked curiously.

"Red bean cake."

Chen Ze replied calmly.

Niu Ermao became even more confused after hearing this.

【Red Bean Cake】It sounds like a dessert!!

There are desserts in Sichuan cuisine?

Aren’t they all spicy, sweaty, steaming dishes?

Today, it’s the first time I heard that there are desserts in Sichuan cuisine!!

Niu Ermao didn't say anything, just watched attentively from the side!

Chen Ze brought the bowl of bean paste that had been pounded into a paste to the stove.

Heat oil in a pan.

This time, Chen Ze poured corn oil into the pot.

Ordinary soybean oil or peanut oil greatly affects the taste of [Red Bean Crisp].

Only corn oil can preserve the sweet taste of [Red Bean Crisp].

When the oil is warm.

Chen Ze poured all the bean paste in the basin into the pot.

Then pick up the spatula and start stirring continuously.

After ninety-nine and eighty-one times.

Chen Ze poured the remaining one third of the bean paste into the pot.

The reason why this one-third of the bean paste is not pounded is to improve the taste.

If the bean paste is all soft and mushy, customers will not like it.

This one-third of bean paste is to lock in the taste.

Continue to stir-fry.

The paste-like bean paste is mixed with the ordinary bean paste.

Wait until the bean paste in the pot becomes hot and white steam emerges.

Chen Ze took out a large bag of white sugar and granulated sugar and poured them into the pot.

The two kinds of sugar quickly melted in the pot and soaked into the bean paste.

Continue to stir-fry.

Let the sugar and bean paste fully blend.

soon.

Niu Ermao, who was standing by, smelled a sweet smell coming into his nose.

White smoke billows.

"Gudu..."

Niu Ermao couldn't help swallowing.

As a chef, he has never liked desserts.

Since childhood, Niu Ermao has disliked eating desserts such as red bean paste buns.

Now, just by smelling it, he couldn't help but want to taste it.

The taste is really great!

At this time, under Chen Ze's stir-frying and high temperature, the bean paste in the pot gradually became soft.

Niu Ermao's eyes widened even more.

He was looking forward to this [Red Bean Pastry] very much.

Continue to stir-fry.

As the water in the pot evaporates, the bean paste changes from soft to hard.

Chen Ze added a few spoonfuls of table salt into the pot.

On the side, Niu Ermao was shocked again.

Chen Ze seemed to have expected this and explained,

"Adding a little salt to the bean paste will not only not affect the taste, but also make the taste more layered."

"Remember, the dosage must be controlled appropriately! A little more or a little less will take away the sweetness."

A few minutes later.

Chen Ze turned off the stove.

Chen Ze poured the red bean paste into a small bowl and handed it to Niu Ermao.

“Try it and see how the filling tastes!!”

Niu Ermao couldn't wait to take it.

Scoop out a large spoonful of red bean paste and put it directly into your mouth.

"Hot, hot, hot!!!"

Niu Ermao jumped up and down because of the burns.

Even so, he still couldn't help swallowing the big mouthful of red bean paste.

It melts at the entrance.

The inherent fragrance of bean paste becomes more intense with the help of white sugar.

Sweet but not greasy.

The taste is unique!!

At this time, Niu Ermao finally understood why Chen Ze added a small amount of salt in it.

Without the salt, the red bean paste would definitely be very sweet.

It affects the taste greatly!!

"Boss, this is so delicious!!"

“Now that the filling is ready, should we start making the puff pastry?”

Niu Ermao asked curiously while eating.
