Xiao Yi started to get busy early in the morning. He first washed several large pots of rice, then poured them into the large pots, added appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and lit the stove.
The blue flames licked the bottom of the pot happily, and the water in the pot gradually heated up, making a "gurgling" sound. Xiao Yi stood by the stove, adjusting the fire from time to time, his eyes fixed on the situation in the pot.
When the rice was cooked and fragrant, Xiao Yi opened the lid of the pot and was greeted by a wave of steam. He used a spatula to loosen the rice to let the heat escape, then poured the rice into a large basin for later use.
Next comes the crucial step in making Yangzhou fried rice. He prepares the side dishes one by one, including diced ham, carrots, shrimp, beaten eggs, and chopped green onions.
Xiao Yi first heated the pan and poured in a proper amount of oil. When the oil was hot enough to smoke slightly, he quickly poured in the beaten eggs. The egg liquid expanded instantly. He quickly stirred it with a spatula, scrambling the eggs into small pieces, and then served them for later use.
Pour more oil into the wok, add the diced ham, carrots, and shrimp, and stir-fry over high heat. The wok crackles non-stop, and the various ingredients jump and tumble in the wok, emitting an enticing aroma.
After frying the side dishes until they were cooked, Xiao Yi poured the prepared rice into the pot, pressed it hard with a spatula, and stir-fried it so that each grain of rice was evenly coated with oil.
Then he poured in the fried eggs, added appropriate amount of salt, chicken essence and light soy sauce for seasoning, and continued to stir-fry.
Before the fried rice was about to be served, Xiao Yi sprinkled in a handful of chopped green onions and quickly stir-fried it a few times to allow the aroma of the green onions to fully blend into the fried rice.
The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of Yangzhou fried rice. Xiao Yi looked at the tempting color and fragrant fried rice in the pot with a satisfied smile on his face.
When Xiao Yi finally served the full pot of Yangzhou fried rice onto a plate, the tempting aroma instantly spread.
Use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful and put it into your mouth. The first thing you feel is that the rice grains are distinct, and each grain is evenly coated with oil. It has just the right elasticity and chewiness when you put it in your mouth, neither too soft nor too hard.
The fluffiness and tenderness of the egg are fully displayed between the teeth, as if it gently melts on the tip of the tongue, releasing a rich egg aroma.
The salty aroma of the diced ham, the sweetness of the diced carrots, and the freshness of the shrimp intertwine to create a rich and harmonious taste. The firmness and chewiness of the ham, the crispness of the carrots, and the chewy texture of the shrimp make every bite full of surprise and satisfaction.
The ratio of seasonings in the fried rice is perfect. The saltiness of the salt enhances the overall flavor, the chicken essence brings a delicious taste, and the light soy sauce adds a touch of mellow sauce aroma.
The chopped green onions sprinkled at the end not only add a touch of green to the fried rice, but also bring a unique green onion fragrance. Its aroma is cleverly integrated into every grain of rice and every ingredient, making the whole taste more rich and three-dimensional.
Every bite of Yangzhou fried rice is full of distinct flavors and textures, which are so intoxicating that after eating one bite, you can’t wait to eat the next one, as if this delicacy has infinite magic that makes people unable to stop.
Xiao Yi stood in the spacious kitchen, with flour, eggs, milk and other ingredients and tools needed to make bubble cakes placed on the counter in front of him. He first poured the flour into a large bowl, then beat in a few fresh eggs, the yolks of which were round and plump, and the egg whites were clear and transparent.
Xiao Yi picked up a pair of chopsticks and quickly stirred the eggs and flour with skillful and powerful movements. As he stirred, the flour and eggs gradually blended together to form a slightly sticky dough.
At this time, he poured in an appropriate amount of milk and continued stirring. The addition of milk made the dough softer and more delicate, exuding a light milky aroma.
Xiao Yi began to knead the dough with his hands. His palms pressed the dough vigorously and kneaded it repeatedly. The dough kept changing its shape in his hands, gradually becoming smooth and elastic.
After kneading the dough, Xiao Yi set it aside to rise for a while.
Then, he divided the proofed dough into small pieces and rolled each piece into a pancake shape.
After completing the preparations, Xiao Yi poured a little oil into the frying pan. When the oil was warm, he gently placed the rolled pancake into the pan.
As soon as the pancake touched the hot oil, it sizzled and small bubbles began to form on the surface. Xiao Yi quickly flipped the pancake with a spatula to ensure that both sides were evenly heated.
After a while, the bubble cake became golden and crispy, and the aroma was fragrant. Xiao Yi used a spatula to scoop out the bubble cake and placed it on a plate.
Plates of steaming, golden and tempting bubble cakes were created by Xiao Yi's skillful hands.
Fresh from the pan, the bubble pancake exudes an irresistible aroma. Holding it in your hand, you can feel its slight warmth and perfect crispness.
When you take a bite, you first hear a crisp "crack" sound, which is the sound of the crust breaking. The crust is extremely crispy and breaks into small pieces between your teeth, giving you a pleasant taste.
The dough inside is soft and elastic, with a hint of wheat and the aroma of milk. With every bite, you can feel the delicate and flexible dough, as if it dances on the tip of your tongue.
The flavor of the bubble pancake is very rich, with the delicious taste of eggs, the sweetness of milk and the earthy taste of flour blending perfectly. The sweet and salty flavors are delicately balanced, neither too sweet nor too bland.
It's not only delicious but also highly valuable. Flour provides a rich source of carbohydrates, providing essential energy. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which helps maintain normal bodily functions and repair and grow muscles. The calcium and other nutrients in milk contribute to bone health.
