Chapter 128: Crispy Golden Potato Pancakes

Jiang Rou came here today, also well prepared.

She took out a bunch of things one after another.

There is pepper, there is salt and pepper, there is chili powder...

Jiang Rou bought all the powders of seasonings directly from Taoduoduo mall.

It's not very eye-catching, but it has magical effects.

Even if you dip the steamed bun in a little chili powder, it tastes better than eating it dry.

For those who are not good at cooking, these seasonings are the tools that can turn something ordinary into something magical.

besides.

Jiang Rou also picked green onions from her own yard and brought carrots, cucumbers, and onions.

They are all very common vegetables and fruits.

Even if it appears on an island, it doesn't look out of place.

If she eats meat and fish every day, people will be suspicious of her.

Jiang Rou picked and chose from the potato basket, selected three big potatoes and many small potatoes.

He handed the small potato to Zhou Xiaochuan and asked him to take it out and wash it clean.

The big potato was handed to Song Qingqian.

"Peel the potatoes, will you?"

"Yes. I'm not that stupid."

Song Qingqian refuted in a low voice, then took the tools and started peeling potatoes.

The next step is...

Song Qingqian doesn't know how to do that.

Jiang Rou took the washed potatoes and sliced ​​them first, cutting them one by one with the silver blade.

After slicing, turn the potato in a circle and cut it again.

The ups and downs of her wrist were rapid.

In the blink of an eye.

The three big potatoes have turned into a pile of potato shreds, like a small mountain.

Song Qingqian didn't even have time to blink.

Jiang Rou had already cut it.

then.

Jiang Rou placed the chopped potato shreds into a large basin, added water to the basin, and gently swirled the potato shreds to wash them.

Song Qingqian watched from the side and asked in confusion.

"These potato shreds are obviously clean, why do we need to wash them?"

"There is a layer of starch on the outside of the potato shreds, so it's okay not to wash them. But if you want them to be a little crispier, you can wash them."

Jiang Rou explained without stopping her hands' movements.

She immediately turned around and cut the carrots she brought into shreds, and also cut a small part of them into small cubes.

Cucumber is even simpler.

Jiang Rou placed the whole cucumber on the chopping board, held the kitchen knife in her right hand, and used the side of the knife horizontally.

She reminded.

"Xiaohua, cover your ears."

Zhou Xiaohua has become accustomed to the strange movements when Jiang Rou cooks. She has even experienced the "explosion", so everything else is just a piece of cake.

Jiang Rou asked her to cover her ears, and she immediately covered her ears obediently.

Right after.

Jiang Rou raised her arm and dropped it instantly.

Clap, clap, clap.

A whole intact cucumber immediately turned into a smashed cucumber, broken into pieces.

Jiang Rou used a kitchen knife to cut the cucumber into a few more pieces to make the cubes more uniform in size.

After finishing all this.

Zhou Xiaochuan also came back.

He washed a large basin of small potatoes thoroughly.

Jiang Rou was relieved and didn't even need to check. She then lit the fire and steamed the small potatoes in a pot.

Song Qingqian was a little dazed as she watched Jiang Rou's skillful movements. Then she realized belatedly that she should go and help light the fire.

She turned around hastily.

But I saw Zhou Xiaochuan sitting in front of the stove.

No need for Jiang Rou's instructions.

He started a fire with matches and some fallen leaves.

Jiang Rou was still in front of the stove and said, "Xiaochuan, use a big fire, so it burns fast."

"good."

Zhou Xiaochuan responded, and as the flames grew stronger, he added more firewood.

Not only Jiang Rou, but even the little Zhou Xiaochuan looked skilled.

Song Qingqian, an adult, was so embarrassed that her face turned red.

You know, when she first came to the island, He Donglai taught her three times just how to make fire.

Song Qingqian just couldn't learn it no matter what.

After three times, she felt embarrassed to let He Donglai continue teaching her, so she could only rub it slowly by herself.

With many twists and turns.

I am still not proficient in it.

She is totally inferior to a little kid, let alone Jiang Rou.

The small potatoes are steamed in a large pot, and then the potato shreds are processed.

After washing off the starch on the surface of the potato shreds, remove them from the water, drain and place them in a large bowl.

Then add some shredded carrots and some flour.

Jiang Rou summarized the key technical points while doing it.

"There is no specific requirement for how much flour to put in. Just use your hands to add it. When you feel that each potato shred is covered with flour and it is a bit sticky, then there is enough flour. It is better to have less than too much."

"Finally, add chopped green onions. Chopped green onions are emerald green, and they make any dish look bright and beautiful. If there are eggs, you can add another one, but there are none today, so forget it, we'll just eat shredded potatoes."

"Then there's the seasoning... a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of cumin powder, a spoonful of pepper powder, and if you like spicy food, you can also add chili powder. ... After putting everything in, just mix it well. Isn't it simple?"

Song Qingqian nodded immediately, "It looks quite simple."

Except for the initial step of shredding the potatoes, which was a bit difficult, she remembered everything else.

Aside.

The pot is already hot.

Jiang Rou poured rapeseed oil into the pan, and when the oil temperature came up, she directly put a handful of mixed potato shreds into the pan.

As soon as the hot oil touches the potato shreds, a sizzling sound is heard.

This is the most beautiful and delicious music.

Jiang Rou picked up the spatula and pushed and flattened the potato shreds little by little, forming a round shape along the bottom of the iron pot.

It became a potato pancake.

"When doing this step, you must be patient and not too impatient. You have to wait until the back of the potato shreds is completely cooked and the flour is solidified before you can turn it over."

"If you flip it too early, the potato pancake will easily fall apart and look ugly. So it's better to be a little burnt and take your time."

"The potato pancakes I made today are relatively large. If you make them yourself in the future, make them smaller so that they are easier to flip over."

As Song Qingqian listened, she smelled an alluring aroma.

This potato pancake is not even cooked yet, but it already makes you drool.

Jiang Rou took this opportunity to wash her hands and remove the remaining flour on her fingers.

Wait for her to come back.

The sizzling sound in the iron pot has become a little quieter. Looking around, you can also see the golden and crispy color of the potato shreds.

That's about it.

She used the spatula in one hand to shovel it down the iron pan, and then with a flip of her wrist, the big, round potato pancake turned over neatly and crisply.

Aside.

Song Qingqian and Zhou Xiaohua stood side by side, couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, and looked into the iron pot with their eyes wide open.

They saw that the other side of the potato pancake was golden and crispy.

So tempting!

Gurgle.

Song Qingqian and Zhou Xiaohua swallowed hard together.
