Eternal food paradise
Chapter 255 ‘Jam’ attempt
The world of "Chinese Ichiban", Leihua's mansion.
In front of Xia Yan, a long plant branch with lush leaves was placed in a flat bamboo basket.
The rhizome of the branches has a yellowish-brown skin. At first glance, one might have thought it was an unpeeled yam root.
The leaves are as wide as the palm of a hand, with lines all over the surface. Xia Yan picked off a piece, put it into his mouth and chewed it, making a clicking sound:
"It feels like I'm eating lettuce."
This is Xia Yan's personal experience.
The leaves themselves don't have a very strong flavor, but they are better in taste. If they are stuffed into square bread and used as the vegetable layer of sandwiches, they can also add a lot of color to daily snacks.
Xia Yan's eyes glanced at the fruits on the branches, some of which were bright red when they were about to mature, and some that were half green and half red.
There is a faint, fragrant and sweet scent in the air that cannot be dispersed by the wind.
This is the fruit of the "Carnivorous Vine".
The lost delicacy, the second task in the series, asks him by name to find the mysterious ingredients that were successfully used in cooking.
Of course, let’s not talk about the fruit first, but let’s talk about the rhizome part, which is ground into dust and used instead of flour. Xia Yan has already put it into practice on the new and more powerful version of "Baoshan Feilong Pot".
The results are quite gratifying. The board of directors, Shinomiya Kojiro and other high-profile guinea pigs have all given positive reviews. The cooking log can also directly prove that Xia Yan's use of rhizome parts has generally passed the entry-level stage and is gradually becoming more proficient.
"Are these the elves' naturally sweet jelly?"
Xia Yan picked all the fruits. As for the method of identifying the quality of the fruits, it was strange to say that his "vision" and "field of vision" seemed to have awakened some characteristics after his second trip to the "Different World Canteen", and he glanced over , you can easily observe the lingering shimmer of these mysterious and magical ingredients as they mature.
‘Magical aura’.
Anyway, that's what Xia Yan calls him. He is not a serious scholar, and he still has little knowledge of the world beyond the "door", so he always chooses names according to convenience.
Pick a fruit with the most radiance. No need to wash it. Just hold it in your hands, rub it a few times, and then throw it into your mouth.
Click!
The juice doesn't burst out, but slowly melts on the tongue.
Like a piece of sweet ice jelly.
This taste suddenly gave Xia Yan a flash of inspiration:
"It feels like eating apple pie!"
Speaking of "pie" desserts, Xia Yan's mind pictured the golden crispy crust and thick semi-solidified fillings.
ha.
This is the most basic yet classic dim sum recipe, right?
Xia Yan decided to put it into practice and not miss this inspiration.
It just so happens that the "Carnivorous Vine" fruit can be mashed directly into a puree in a bowl. There is no need to use a food processor to break it, which is very convenient.
Next, it’s a simple seasoning of the jam.
Caster sugar, lemon juice.
Um……
There is also a lack of "starch" that thickens and improves the taste. Corn flour is commonly used.
However, Xia Yan stopped here for no reason and glanced at the rhizome of the "carnivorous vine".
In the enhanced version of "Baoshan Feilong Pot".
His use of rhizome powder is to replace certain starches in the preparation of meatballs.
In this way, we can draw inferences from one instance.
In the jam, using carnivorous vine rhizome powder seems to be a natural operation!
Just do it!
Xia Yan purchased the ready-made rhizome powder directly from the system, and then further stirred it to prepare the semi-finished jam.
Immediately, put the semi-finished product in the pot and cook it over low heat.
Cook until completely dehydrated and thick!
…
In fact, today is Xia Yan's third day staying in the mansion.
Incredibly peaceful!
Lei Hua crossed the door wall and walked to this well-equipped courtyard. When she saw the smoke rising high, she had a strange expression on her face and murmured this evaluation to herself.
I originally thought that it was a little demon king who was tending to be the shadow of Kaiyou. Who knew that after moving in, he simply regarded this place as a retreat that was isolated from the world. As the owner of the mansion, and as Leihua who thought he was creating a shelter for him, his mood was quite delicate.
As soon as I entered the yard, my steps stopped.
Huh?
The nose caught a lingering sweet scent.
It has quite a complex taste, including sour, sweet, and fragrant. Lei Hua's brain stopped working for two seconds before he whispered in confusion: "What is this?"
It’s not in her gourmet cooking manual, it’s a blind spot in knowledge!
Suddenly, Lei Hua seemed to recall the dish called "Jizi Shrimp Soup and Meat Soup" on the 'Dark Arena' not long ago.
Unknown colorful lobster.
Unknown delicate tail meat.
It was rated as 'extremely fresh' and 'extremely meaty' by the two kings of darkness, Yakan and Yan Xian!
And this time, in which direction is the word "pole"?
Leihua swallowed.
She could only be a spectator in the 'dark arena' and had no chance to taste the 'extremely fresh' and 'extremely meaty' foods. Her heartstrings tightened, and she felt strange emotions.
Xia Yan, who was cooking jam, heard slight footsteps approaching from behind, and then Lei Hua's voice sounded:
"Is this "boiling" and "refining"? "
"Boil and refine." Xia Yan nodded, staring at the small flame at the bottom of the pot.
"What a pity-" he suddenly sighed.
"What's a pity?"
Leihua was already standing in front of the stove, beside him.
"The heat of this stove is not easy to control and it is not precise enough." Xia Yan simply said.
Originally, he planned to find out the temperature range for solidification of carnivorous vine berry boiled sugar in practice, and memorize the precise values as cooking experience, so that when making jam again in the future, during the heat tempering process, it would basically be stable and stable. Might make another mistake.
Unless the location or time is sensitive.
Xia Yan is more willing to return to the world of shokuji and use the modern professional kitchen facilities in the department's cooking room to do some research on new dishes.
"Click!"
Secretly, when the heat is almost done, the whole pot is taken away.
However, he was not in a hurry to remove the pot immediately. Xia Yan continued to keep an eye on the small pot, as if he was trying to further capture the temperature changes of the jam inside through "one pot".
About a quarter of an hour later.
"That's it." Xia Yan then took off the pot, picked out a thick and bright red jam with a silver spoon, and then the whole spoon sank to the bottom of a bowl of water on the stove.
From Leihua's perspective.
The young chef, with extremely serious eyes, observed the changes in the jam every second after it was soaked in water.
A few minutes passed.
The jam still didn't melt in the cold water.
Xia Yan couldn't help but praise: "Very good, the gel effect is perfect, the jam is ready!"
As soon as it was cooked successfully, he took his time and put the jam into a sealed earthen jar, planning to let it sit and store it.
"etc--"
Lei Hua suddenly spoke up.
Xia Yan, who was about to roll out the dough, cast a surprised look and saw the female celebrity chef's fresh and novel smile, pointing to the crock pot and jam placed on the table, "This kind of food is cooked to the point of being completely dehydrated." It’s quite a rare practice.”
"It's just that, in this way, the fruit will be completely destroyed."
"In order to pursue convenient preservation, many advantages of fresh fruits have been abandoned. The finished product that has lost too much flavor in this way will be disqualified when used in the preparation of a special dish!"
After finishing her words, Lei Hua saw Xia Yan suddenly turned his head and looked around for something.
Snapped.
Suddenly slapping his forehead, Xia Yan said to himself: "There is no square bread!"
A quick glance.
I had to pick up a white flour bun on the kitchen table, cut a slit with a knife, and add a few spoonfuls of the freshly cooked jam into it.
