Chapter 348: Five-grain porridge and donkey rolls
After sharing her idea with the audience, almost all the people in the live broadcast room agreed with Ye Jiaojiao to change the live broadcast from noon to evening.
After 6:30, people go home from school and get off work, which is indeed more convenient for most viewers than watching the show at noon.
It was getting late, so after discussing the live broadcast time, Ye Jiaojiao officially began the live broadcast: "Today I'm going to make a healthy porridge and two special snacks that were particularly famous in ancient China."
This is not the first time that Ye Jiaojiao mentioned the word "health preservation" in the live broadcast room, and it is most likely mentioned together with diet therapy, food supplements and medicinal food. After listening to her introduction, many viewers in the live broadcast room associated it with high-energy medicinal food.
Live broadcast room comment area——
[Host, host! Is this a medicinal food? The kind you made before, the ones with super high energy, reaching S-rank or A+?]
[Ahhh! Is the anchor really going to make high-energy food? ]
[Am I the only one who cares more about whether there will be a lucky draw?!]
[I remember the host made a preserved egg and lean meat porridge before. It was salty and fragrant, but I felt like I could never get full no matter how much I drank. Am I just too greedy?]
"Does everyone still remember the medicinal meals I made earlier?" Ye Jiaojiao had forgotten at first, but a glimpse of some comments reminded her of something. Her eyes dimmed, and her smiling face suddenly darkened. "Well, do you all remember the eight medicinal meals I gave out on the opening day of Chunfenglou?"
In order to slap the face of Mer Group and compete with the A+ energy soup launched by Mer Group, Ye Jiaojiao took out pastries containing S energy and sent out eight of them on the opening day of Chunfeng Tower, which caused a sensation in the empire.
After more than a month, the heat of this incident has dropped a lot, but almost everyone who should know knows about it, so it is naturally impossible to forget it so quickly.
Noticing Ye Jiaojiao's performance, the audience, who were just about to start a heated discussion, were stunned by the obvious contrast before and after, and clearly realized that something was wrong.
[We remember, little sister, what happened to the medicinal food? ]
What's going on? The host's expression seems strange.
【Miss, what happened? 】
"Actually, if you hadn't mentioned it, I'd almost forgotten about it. I was just casually browsing around an auction a while ago when I stumbled upon one of the medicinal dishes I'd given away in a raffle on Chunfeng Tower's opening day." Ye Jiaojiao jokingly recounted what she'd seen at the black market, adding a final quip: "The funniest thing is, that medicinal dish was sold for a ridiculous price, something I couldn't possibly earn."
Live broadcast room comment area——
[Huh? What?]
[No, no, no, no.]
"Miss, are you saying the food you gave away for free was sold? No way! Holy shit! Who did this?! This is outrageous!"
"Well, actually, there's really no need to be sad about this kind of thing. After all, the things you give away are no longer yours. I can probably understand the other person's feelings. I guess they just thought it would be a shame to eat it, so they sold it."
[A sky-high price? Can you tell me how many Star Coins it sold for? I'm curious.]
[Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by "it's a pity to eat it"? I just laughed. You mean it's okay for someone else to sell something the girl gave away for free? What kind of values are you talking about? The girl is already heartbroken enough seeing this scene, okay? This is a raffle bonus! It's not for you to exchange for money!]
Sad?
She seemed a little sad at the time because she was not the one selling the medicinal food.
Six hundred million star coins for a bowl of medicinal food, she could sell a business empire!
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Actually, I just suddenly thought of this. Don't be angry, I'm not angry either." Ye Jiaojiao, who was inexplicably feeling a little guilty, quickly stepped in to stabilize the situation and change the subject: "I'm going to start making porridge. Everyone, come over here!"
Not wanting to make things too complicated for lunch, Ye Jiaojiao planned to cook some five-grain porridge, and also make some donkey rolls and Aiwo Wo. After posting the recipe on the bulletin board in the live broadcast room, Ye Jiaojiao first marked out the ingredients for the five-grain porridge separately.
Five-grain porridge uses buckwheat, coix seed, black rice, water chestnut, etc. It is rich in nutrition and simple to prepare. It is also known as the first porridge for health preservation and warming the body.
Wash and soak the ingredients in water and put them into the pressure cooker. Add 1500ML of water, cover the lid and press the valve. Cook over high heat until the gas is released, then turn off the heat. Wait until all the gas is released, then turn on the heat again and cook until the gas is released, then turn off the heat. Repeat this three times.
Ye Jiaojiao likes porridge with a soft and sweet texture. She poured out the five-grain porridge to keep it warm, then took out the soybean flour and started making donkey rolls.
Donkey rolls are a particularly famous traditional snack in a certain area of ancient China. The finished product is distinctly yellow, white and red, and is very beautiful.
It is named "Lu Da Gun" because the soybean flour sprinkled on it in the final production process looks like the yellow dust kicked up by wild donkeys when they roll around in the suburbs.
The production of donkey rolls is divided into three steps: making the dough, mixing the stuffing, and shaping. Ye Jiaojiao took a large porcelain basin, poured glutinous rice flour into it, and slowly kneaded it with warm water and a little sugar. At the same time, she boiled water in the pot, set up a steaming rack, brushed a layer of cooking oil on the bottom of the plate, and placed the kneaded glutinous rice ball on the plate and flattened it.
Boil water under the plate, and steam it over high heat for 15 minutes after the water boils. Cover the steamed glutinous rice balls with plastic wrap and let them sit until warm.
Once the dough is ready, the next step is to make the filling.
The red bean paste filling is ready, and the soybean flour needs to be stir-fried slightly until it has a mushy taste, but it cannot be fried until it turns black.
Take out the skin, spread an appropriate amount of soybean flour on it, coat both sides with soybean flour, roll it into a rectangle, and spread red bean paste on it. The amount of red bean paste can be increased or decreased according to personal preference. Roll it up from the wide side and remember to roll it tightly.
The final step is to cut the strips into pieces after they grow into strips. Ye Jiaojiao didn’t make many pieces in the first batch, each piece was about five centimeters, and there were six pieces in two rows on a plate.
Ye Jiaojiao placed six pieces of donkey rolls on the plate, sprinkled a thin layer of soybean flour on the outermost layer, and then added a little sugar osmanthus juice on the edge of each piece. The donkey rolls covered with soybean flour and golden in color were ready.
"Everyone try this donkey roll first and see if you like it." After putting the finished product on the tasting area of the live broadcast room, Ye Jiaojiao suggested, considering that her taste is sweet, "This may be a little bit sweet. I suggest you wait a while and eat it with multi-grain porridge later."
[Are you too sweet? No problem, no problem. I just like sweet food!]
When will that multi-grain porridge be ready? Miss, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and finish this donkey roll.
[Will it be more delicious with this? I'll wait a little longer.]
There are six pieces in a plate, and each piece is so small, with golden dough and red bean paste filling. As soon as the donkey rolls were put on the tasting area of the live broadcast room, they aroused everyone's appetite. When the audience heard Ye Jiaojiao's suggestion, they began to struggle in their hearts.
Do you want to eat?
Or wait a little longer?
The lady said it would taste better with porridge?!
But I can’t help but eat it!
Confused
"You can try one or two first. The porridge is ready. Just wait patiently for the next Aiwo Wo." Seeing that the audience was anxious, Ye Jiaojiao didn't even have time to taste a piece of Lu Da Gun and got busy again.
Like donkey rolls, Aiwo Wo is also a specialty snack with a long history. Glutinous rice flour is also used to make the dough, but the filling is richer, with ingredients such as walnut kernels, sesame seeds, melon seeds, and yam paste.
Aiwo Wo, also known as glutinous rice cake, is often decorated with red hawthorn cake, which is beautiful and festive. It is named Aiwo Wo because its skin is thinly floured and has a depression on it.
