Chapter 327: Crispy and Scallion Pancake
"Fans who frequent our livestreaming studio know that to transform flour from a common ingredient into a fragrant star, we need to knead the dough."
The flour originally piled in the basin was already puffing up, so Jiang Qiuqiu grabbed a handful of salt from the side and sprinkled it in, then used a rolling pin to mix the flour and salt evenly in the basin.
The rolling pin spun in the round mound of flour.
Is this a painting? Why do I feel like I'm seeing the scent of ancient Earth?
[A professional foodie is taking notes: Is it necessary to stir the bing according to this pattern? Will it taste better if I stir it this way?]
【Curious】
“You can stir it any way you want, as long as you don’t stir the flour.”
As he spoke, the heap of flour had been flattened. At this point, it was time to start kneading the dough. "This time, the kneading is different from the previous ones."
To make scallion pancakes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you need to use boiling water to scald the dough. Pour the boiling water directly from the stove into a bowl while it's still steaming. "We're going to use boiling water, but for the stirring step, we shouldn't use our hands. Use a rolling pin to stir the flour into this flocculent consistency."
She asked the camera robot to take a close-up. "By this time, the heat has almost dissipated. Let's start kneading it."
Jiang Qiuqiu's hands were very small compared to the basin, but her small hands had great strength. She pressed lightly with her bare hands, kneaded the floc-like flour balls together with her skillful strength, and rolled them around in the basin again.
Soon, the dough in Jiang Qiuqiu's hands grew larger and larger, the bottom of the basin and her hands became cleaner and cleaner, and the flocculent dough gradually became smoother. But making scallion pancakes requires more than just smoothness; it also needs to be soft.
"At this time, we need to wake up the noodles."
"Natural proofing takes about 30 minutes. Today, we put the dough in a constant temperature box to proof it. This can shorten the time."
"While the noodles are resting, let's prepare today's side dishes."
Needless to say, cutting the onions was a piece of cake. The emerald green onions were cut into chopped green onions by the kitchen knife, and the aroma of the green onions instantly diffused. As an experienced vegetable cutter, Jiang Qiuqiu finished cutting all the prepared onions in less than two minutes.
There was plenty of time, and Jiang Qiuqiu thought that the pancakes should be eaten with soup, so she made a refreshing dish of chopped green onion, shredded pork and tofu soup.
Although this soup is simple, it can be made in a large pot. The soup is clear and the taste is not overpowering. It is a perfect pairing with pancakes.
After the soup is ready, let the assistant robot take it aside to mix it. At this time, the dough in the constant temperature box is also ready.
After standing, the dough was soft and sticky, smooth and delicate. Jiang Qiuqiu put some raw flour on his hands, kneaded the dough into long strips, divided it into small pieces, rolled it thinly with a rolling mill, brushed it with a thin layer of oil, sprinkled it with chopped green onions, and then rolled it into strips from both sides.
Then roll it up from both sides, and a scallion pancake with nine bends and eighteen turns is ready.
Jiang Qiuqiu was slow only when making the first three pancakes, explaining them while she did them. Later on, she was almost a ruthless dough-rolling machine.
Starting, turning, connecting and ending, rolling, sticking, rolling and pressing, one small dough after another was placed in the corner of the large square plate.
As everyone watched, someone suddenly——
【! 】
【I discovered something big! 】
【Did you find it? 】
【???】
【What's so exciting all of a sudden? 】
[I noticed there are more than 20 cakes! Is there more than one cake available today? There are two cakes!?!]
Well, I have to say, this is indeed a——
Big, big thing.
When it comes to eating and quantity, the barrage of comments suddenly becomes excited and active.
