Chapter 261 Omurice and Egg Dumplings
After staying in the study for an hour, Yun Che explained everything to Weil as best he could, and then sent a message to Si Ming, asking Si Ming to do his best to take care of Weil's family and Edward. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
Ye Jiaojiao and Yun Che were not in a hurry to leave this time and planned to stay at the Weier family for another day.
The next morning, after waking up, Ye Jiaojiao went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Weir was already busy.
"Good morning, Miss Ye!" Seeing Ye Jiaojiao come in, Mrs. Weir felt a little embarrassed: "Miss Ye, are you going to make breakfast?"
Both Ye Jiaojiao and the Weiers already knew that Yun Che taught the Weiers how to make money by making hand-pulled pancakes, and that Ye Jiaojiao was the customer who transferred 200,000 star coins to the Weiers in the second world.
Facing Ye Jiaojiao and Yun Che, Mrs. Weir subconsciously developed a sense of humility in front of her superiors, and thought about giving up the kitchen. Ye Jiaojiao did not refuse Mrs. Weir's kindness and prepared to make breakfast for everyone.
When Mrs. Weir learned that Ye Jiaojiao wanted to prepare breakfast for everyone and thought of her greedy little son, she gradually relaxed and became less restrained when speaking.
Mrs. Weir volunteered to stay and help. As she was taking Ye Jiaojiao to take inventory of the ingredients at home, Ye Jiaojiao noticed that there were a little too many eggs in the cupboard: "Why are there so many Cuckoo Chicken eggs?"
"These are what we stockpiled when we were learning how to make scallion pancakes. We didn't set up a stall outside later, so we kept these extra and plan to eat them slowly." Mrs. Weir's eyes fell on the pile of eggs, and a headache flashed across her face.
She doesn't know how to make many egg dishes, but she has tried every one of them over and over again.
Recently, her husband and son don't want to eat when they see eggs, and Mrs. Weir is helpless about these eggs.
"Tired of eating eggs?" After listening to Mrs. Weir's narration, Ye Jiaojiao's mind quickly listed many breakfast recipes using eggs: "Eggs are highly nutritious, let's eat this today!"
For breakfast, Ye Jiaojiao plans to make omelet rice, a common but popular family staple among young people.
Omurice, as the name suggests, is fried rice wrapped in egg skin and tastes salty.
There was no leftover rice at the Weier family, so Ye Jiaojiao cooked the rice first, then soaked the mushrooms and scallops, diced the mushrooms, tore the scallops into shreds, and diced the green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, bamboo shoots, fish balls, ham, etc.
After completing the preparations, Ye Jiaojiao took a few cuckoo eggs, beat the eggs, added cornstarch and salt, stirred evenly, and then set them aside.
"Miss Ye, are you going to make omelets?" Mrs. Weir quietly assisted Ye Jiaojiao after she started. She found that the steps Ye Jiaojiao was making looked familiar and became curious. "They sell omelets in the fast food restaurant in the Second World. I took Jacob there to eat them."
"What I'm going to make is omelet rice. Omelet rice is made by putting fried rice in the middle of egg skin. The making of egg skin is somewhat similar to that of egg pancake, but the ingredients are relatively richer and the taste is different." Realizing that Mrs. Weil was interested in making delicious food, Ye Jiaojiao explained it seriously.
After the rice is steamed, Ye Jiaojiao pours the rice into the pot and starts to stir-fry. Two minutes later, she uses another pot and pours the egg liquid slowly and evenly into the pot. When the egg skin becomes a golden round shape, she puts the fried rice in the middle of the egg skin.
Don't stay here for too long. After putting the fried rice into the egg skin and frying it for a few seconds, Ye Jiaojiao puts a corner of the egg skin into the middle, then presses the edges of the egg skin one by one, and finally folds it into a semicircular corner.
Remove from the pan after it is slightly fried and shaped, then draw a few lines of tomato sauce on it.
Noticing that there was no movement in the room on the second floor, Ye Jiaojiao asked Mrs. Weir to divide the omelet rice into two parts, and the two of them tasted it separately.
"Very delicious!" The omelet rice was a little hot when it came out of the pot. When the fried rice and egg skin were wrapped in her mouth, her tongue was slightly burned while chewing. Mrs. Weir breathed a sigh of relief: "The food made by Miss Ye is really delicious!"
The praise did not affect Mrs. Weir's enjoyment of the delicious omelet rice. That is, the omelet rice made by Ye Jiaojiao was not very big. After finishing it quickly, Mrs. Weir looked at Ye Jiaojiao again and added: "And I don't feel sick of eating eggs this way. I'm sure Jacob will like it later!"
"In addition to the regular omelet rice, there's also curry omelet rice, shrimp and pea omelet rice, and so on." Ye Jiaojiao gave a few examples and offered Mrs. Weir some advice: "Food is a very dynamic thing. Sometimes you don't have to follow a recipe. For example, the ingredients for omelet rice and fried rice can be freely combined according to personal preference, and the same goes for the flavor of the egg skin."
In ancient China, when food culture was at its peak, so many classic dishes were passed down because generations of people innovated.
It’s like the ninth cuisine recipe package given by the system, cafeteria dishes.
After this busy period is over, Ye Jiaojiao will study the cafeteria dishes carefully.
To be honest, she really wanted to try whether the stir-fried lettuce with strawberries was delicious.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Weil was interested and Ye Jiaojiao was willing to teach. The relationship between the two gradually became warmer. While everyone was still asleep, Ye Jiaojiao took Mrs. Weil to learn how to make omelet rice.
After Mrs. Weir was able to make omelet rice by herself, Ye Jiaojiao followed suit and made a plate of vegetable omelets.
There are many overlaps in the preparation of vegetable egg rolls and omelet rice. After making it once, Ye Jiaojiao handed the vegetable egg rolls to Mrs. Weir, and she began to prepare the egg dumpling filling with fresh shrimp and pork.
After wrapping the eggs with rice and vegetables, it’s time to wrap the meat.
Egg dumplings are also a delicacy made with egg skin. They are not only delicious and nutritious, but also suitable for people of all ages.
Compared with the egg skin of omelet rice, the egg skin of egg dumplings is much smaller, only half the size of a palm, about the same size as dumpling skin, and requires great skill in making it.
It took some time to mix the egg liquid and the filling. Then, Ye Jiaojiao came to the stove, changed to a small frying pan, turned on a low heat, put a little oil in the pan, and shook the pan counterclockwise to make the oil evenly spread to the bottom of the pan.
When steam starts to rise from the pot, pick up the egg liquid bowl and pour one or two spoonfuls of egg liquid into the middle of the pot. Without delay, Ye Jiaojiao shakes the pot in a clockwise direction to expand the area of the egg skin as much as possible, while also making sure no holes appear in the middle.
Wait for about ten seconds until the egg skin turns a bright golden color and has a certain thickness. Then you can put the meat filling into the center of the egg skin.
After putting the meat filling into the center of the egg skin, Ye Jiaojiao immediately took a wooden spoon, folded the egg skin from one side to the other, pressed lightly along the folded edge with the wooden spoon, and turned the egg dumpling over every three seconds or so to continue frying.
The meat in the egg dumplings is not as easy to cook as the egg skin. Even if the egg dumplings look cooked, they cannot be eaten. It is best to steam the fried egg dumplings over high heat to allow the meat filling to be thoroughly cooked, or to boil the egg dumplings in broth.
Ye Jiaojiao was not going to eat the egg dumplings with soup, so after asking Mrs. Weir if she had a steamer at home, she put the fried egg dumplings into the steamer one by one and steamed them.
When Jacob smelled the fragrance and came to the kitchen, the first basket of egg dumplings was just out of the pot. He leaned against the kitchen door with his eyes shining: "What is Sister Ye doing? It's so golden and beautiful!"
