Chapter 594 Competition 7
Then... Qian Fengping thought about it and immediately started to act.
Sift together the flour and powdered sugar, crack two eggs and separate the egg whites.
Mix the egg whites and corn oil evenly, then add the flour. It doesn't need to be too sticky, just enough without any particles.
She grabbed a handful of almonds, crushed them with a rolling pin, sprinkled them into the batter, and stirred again.
Light the fire, do not put oil in the pan, pour the batter in and spread it flat with a spatula.
Soon the aroma spread and the batter slowly hardened.
Qian Fengping carefully turned it over and waited until both sides turned golden brown before serving it.
After it cooled down, she started crushing it all.
The almond crisps are ready.
Qian Fengping breathed a sigh of relief. The glutinous rice cakes were steamed. She took down the steamer and poked it with chopsticks.
Finally found time to rest.
She looked at her two opponents. The soybean replacement might not have been done by them, but it was definitely related to the snack shop behind them.
Which one?
It is unlikely that Master Hu will do this.
Even if he changed his ingredients, it would be difficult for him to beat Mr. Xing with his cooking skills.
Unless, he can even replace Mr. Xing’s ingredients.
That’s Xing Lao, or Rong Ji Dim Sum.
Qian Fengping closed her eyes and rested, not thinking about it, preparing to hand it over to Wanbaolou for investigation later.
The cheese needed to be refrigerated for a while to improve its taste, but she was not in a hurry.
Old Xing wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief. As he got older, his hands weren't as nimble as they used to be.
What he made today was his best osmanthus cake.
Although his opponents were two juniors, he had to treat them seriously.
To make osmanthus cake, the first thing is to make osmanthus syrup. He added dried osmanthus flowers and boiled it for a little longer.
Only then can the fragrance of osmanthus be integrated into it.
Then when steaming, brush the mold with oil and it is best to use the layered steaming method.
First steam half of the batter, then add the red bean paste filling, and then steam the other half of the batter. After steaming, be sure to simmer it.
The purpose of stewing is to prevent the osmanthus cake from collapsing.
These tips are what he has mastered after making osmanthus cake for a lifetime.
Half of the time has passed.
After checking the condition of the cheese, Qian Fengping nodded and started to work.
Chop the strawberries into small pieces.
The glutinous rice cake is divided into balls of similar size. After being flattened, a ball of cheese is wrapped in it, and diced strawberries are added to form a white, round ball.
Finally, it rolled in the crispy slices and turned into golden yellow.
I made more than twenty in total, and the glutinous rice cakes were just used up.
Qian Fengping waved, she was the first to finish.
Below the stage, Wu Dongjia was so anxious that he was jumping up and down.
"Hey, there's still time, why don't you do it a little longer!"
Fang Tong comforted him: "Brother, snacks are best eaten right after they're made. If they're left out for too long, they won't taste good."
Of course Wu Dongjia knew.
But since we have plenty of time today, can't we choose a dessert that is more difficult and involves a more complicated process?
Although the process is complicated does not mean it tastes the best, but...
Alas, Wu Dongjia was in a state of confusion regarding the distribution of interests in the cake shop.
third floor.
As soon as these golden, plump round dumplings come out, they whet your appetite.
The servants wrapped it in oil paper and presented it to the adults.
"Master Qian said that this strawberry cheese mochi tastes better when you hold it in your hands."
The Eighth Prince's eyes were full of interest.
Without further ado, let’s taste it first.
As he took a bite, he bit into the strawberry grains. The Eighth Prince's eyes lit up slightly and he couldn't help chewing it carefully.
This was also the first time that Jin Yunting had seen such food.
The glutinous rice cake is stretchable, and the white cheese inside is cool and refreshing, dispelling the heat.
He felt that Dr. Fang's family were very wonderful.
There is always something different about ordinary people.
Doctor Fang is eccentric, his father is free and easy, his mother is bold but cautious...
Wang Rong frowned slightly, feeling somewhat disgusted with this way of eating, which he considered uncivilized.
But after suppressing it with one breath, that trace of disgust disappeared.
The sweetness of strawberries wrapped in cheese has a strong milky aroma, but also has the softness of glutinous rice cakes and the crispness of dried almonds.
Mr. Jin is lucky to have such a skilled chef in his cake shop.
After tasting it, Wansheng actually felt a little full.
He couldn't help but praise: "I've eaten glutinous rice cakes before. They're coated in brown sugar, fried, and then sprinkled with soybean powder. They're also delicious."
"But Master Qian's strawberry cheese mochi is a first for me. It lacks the greasy feeling of deep-frying and is instead refreshing, sweet and fragrant. It's amazing!"
Wan Rufeng was so envious that he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dad, gentlemen, don't forget to rate the level."
The Eighth Prince and his companions looked at each other.
Everyone shook their heads, wondering why they were in such a hurry, it was already the finals.
Of course, it would be better to wait for the other two pastry chefs to prepare it, taste it together, and then rate it.
Mr. Xing slowly poured a layer of osmanthus honey on the cakes that had just come out of the oven.
The square osmanthus cake has a little yellow in the center and looks great.
It was served together with Master Hu’s tea-yellow and crystal clear water chestnut cake.
“This water chestnut cake doesn’t use white sugar, but brown sugar, which makes it more mellow.”
Jin Yunting raised his eyebrows.
The Eighth Prince tasted a piece and nodded, "Not bad, soft and delicious, perfect with this pot of tea."
"It's not easy for someone so young to have such skills." Wansheng also praised.
Don't underestimate pastry chefs, not everyone can make them with a recipe.
Many people know the steps but cannot make it into shape or the taste is changed.
Generally speaking, if one can make dim sum to the point of proficiency without making any mistakes, one can be praised for his or her good craftsmanship.
But a truly talented and insightful pastry chef must be able to improve the recipe and ensure that the flavor of the ingredients themselves is not covered up.
While making changes, the essence of dim sum will not be affected.
This Master Hu is very spiritual.
"Mr. Xing's osmanthus cake has a delicate texture. The osmanthus flavor is very light at first, but becomes stronger the more you taste it," Wang Rong praised.
The current chefs at Rongji can’t make this taste.
Wansheng nodded: "I haven't tasted it for many years. When I taste it again, it always brings back some of the flavors of my youth."
Some dim sum is like that.
I liked it at first because it tasted good, but after eating it many times, when I look back, all I taste is a mixture of flavor and memory.
"Well, after the competition, I want to invite Mr. Xing to the palace. The Queen Mother has been thinking about this for a long time." The Eighth Prince said.
Wang Rong smiled and agreed, "Thanks to the Prince and the Queen Mother for their kindness. I'll go talk to Elder Xing later."
After all, he is also the owner of Rongji.
Jin Yunting watched calmly, but thought in his heart that the plans of some officials in the court might not succeed.
Although the emperor trusted Prince Chongning more than his younger brother, the Eighth Prince.
But the Eighth Prince did not seem to bear a grudge. On the contrary, he was very filial to the Queen Mother and fulfilled his duties to the Emperor.
It is impossible to provoke the Eighth Prince's dissatisfaction and make him come forward to support Miss Meng's marriage.
Right.
If the Eighth Prince wanted to take care of this matter, he would have no time to come to the dim sum competition and serve as a taster.
I have tasted all three kinds of dim sum.
The first thing to be reported was the results of the tasting by a hundred people. All three pastry chefs got A grade.
Among them, 99% of the strawberry cheese mochi were rated as first-class.
It can be seen that it is suitable for all ages and is quite popular.
Jin Yunting pondered for a moment and said, "I think the osmanthus cake deserves first place, the water chestnut cake deserves first place, and the strawberry cheese cake also deserves first place."
