Chapter 221 Spicy Noodles in Production
After the rolled spicy strips are shaped, they are put into a steamer and steamed until cooked.
During the steaming process, Aunt Zhong skillfully heated the oil in a pan.
She is already quite familiar with this process because there is a greedy girl named Cai Yunyun at home. Whenever she sees a delicious food tutorial, she likes to collect it first, then call "Mom". Aunt Zhong will then prepare some food for her. Over time, she has summed up her own set of recipes, which work every time.
The oil in this pot is different from the one used to fry potato chips next door. They only put oil in it, and then fry the half-cooked potato chips boiled in water.
However, the oil used for spicy strips is used to mix the sauce, and onion segments, ginger slices and garlic should be added to it for stir-frying.
The scallion segments were picked directly from the backyard field, cut into very long pieces, and put into the pot along with the ginger, garlic and spices arranged on a plate.
Amid the sizzling sound of the hot oil, an intense aroma bursts out that is hard to ignore.
The fried scallion oil was poured into a bowl to cool.
Mix coarse chili powder, fine chili powder, five-spice powder, cumin powder, chicken essence, sugar, salt and other seasonings with sesame seeds, then pour in the hot scallion oil that has just been fried.
The seasoning and hot oil are heated again in the pot to form the sauce for the spicy strips. The sauce becomes thick and bubbles appear, and then the heat is turned off and the process is done.
At this time, the spicy strips in the steamer are cooked and white steam is coming out.
On one side there is the rich aroma of noodles, and on the other side there is the tempting spicy taste, which has a severe impact on both the visual and taste senses.
Old Fu was drooling with greed and kept asking, "Is it ready? Can I eat it now? Let me taste it first."
"It's not ready yet. Go wait a moment over there and don't bother me." Aunt Zhong sent away Old Fu who was watching the fun, and waited for the temperature in the basin to drop before pouring the sauce into the steamed spicy strips.
Aunt Zhong put on gloves, grabbed the spicy strips and mixed them, allowing the two to blend evenly, and evenly coated each spicy strip with the mixing sauce.
The oil seeps into the pores of the spicy strips, making a sizzling sound.
More and more people gathered around, and everyone watched enviously as the spicy strips became more greasy, and the sesame seeds on them also gave off a fragrant aroma under the stimulation of the heat.
Use the same method to adjust the ratio of chili powder and five-spice powder, prepare a cumin-flavored sauce, and pour it into the other half of the spicy strips.
This pot looks much lighter, but the fragrance is just as good.
……
Everyone's attention was attracted by the spicy strips, and the uncles and aunts who were left with roasted dried fruits took the opportunity to secretly taste two slices.
These dried fruits are left after the juice-squeezing uncles actively "Bettle".
There are fewer fruits and more uncles and aunts.
After the two teams competed for the raw materials, they began to cooperate with each other. After cutting the pieces, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li helped the dried fruit group to slice them.
The uncles and aunts who are in charge of the chopping board are all very good at knife skills, at least they won’t cut out “load-bearing columns”.
After all the slicing work is done, all that remains is the long wait.
It is not enough to use an oven alone to roast dried fruits, so the air dryer in the restaurant's kitchen comes in handy.
There is no technical difficulty in roasting dried fruits, it just consumes electricity and time.
But as long as the uncles and aunts are happy.
After setting the time for the air drying machine, the uncles and aunts in the dried fruit group "left work" early to distribute the spicy strips.
The uncles and aunts were so happy that lunch didn’t even taste good anymore.
Of course, you should eat a few more mouthfuls of rice when eating with spicy strips.
This time, the amount of spicy strips made was not much, each person got two or three, and the uncles and aunts were still reluctant to leave after they finished eating.
In the afternoon, Master Wu and his kitchen helpers urgently prepared a batch of spicy noodles made with beef tendon noodles according to Aunt Zhong's "exclusive secret recipe".
I also packed up the potato chips and dried fruits I made in the morning.
The juice uncles and aunties brought it into the classroom after lunch and distributed it.
In addition to soaked wolfberries, their thermos cups are also filled with pure fruit juice without additives.
Before school was over, the uncles and aunts received the healthy snacks they had made themselves. They took them in their hands and showed them to their children when they went out.
On this day, the owners of the shops and snack shops outside the school gate were all very melancholy. They sat at the door watching the uncles and aunts coming and going, and couldn't understand why the shops had "fallen out of favor".
Even Grandpa Sun, a regular customer of the pickled pepper chicken feet, didn’t come. The boss watched helplessly as Grandpa Sun walked past his store with a glass of healthy-looking orange juice.
Although the uncles and aunts cannot make much money, the greedy kids can still earn a little.
……
Uncle Wei returned with a load of snacks he had made himself. After returning home, he swaggered around and greeted everyone around him in front of little Wei.
"Grandpa will treat you to potato chips and spicy strips."
The two little ones hugged Uncle Wei's arms, one on each side, their eyes sparkling, "Grandpa, is that true? When did you buy it secretly?"
As soon as Uncle Wei opened the bag, the aroma wafted out, and he proudly announced, "I didn't buy these, I made them myself."
Xiao Wei came over after smelling the smell, "Dad, I've told you so many times not to bring junk food home, and not to give them any. Why don't you listen?"
"I don't even want to say anything to you. You saw how he made these potato chips and spicy strips. They were all produced in a small workshop."
"Whatever you eat, you will suffer from the three highs. Their two children won't grow tall after eating it."
Zuo Zuo quietly complained to her sister You You: "What Dad said is exactly the same as what Grandpa said."
Uncle Wei touched his nose guiltily. It was exactly the same. What Xiao Wei said were all his lines.
But this time Uncle Wei refuted him forcefully: "I saw that I did all this myself."
Xiao Wei didn't quite believe it. He picked up a potato chip and looked at it carefully: "Did you make this?"
Uncle Wei nodded, "I've tried it all, I guarantee it's delicious."
Xiao Wei was skeptical, but the two children couldn't wait any longer.
"Grandpa, I want to eat, I want to eat." Zuozui jumped and raised his hand, and Youyou repeated it.
Uncle Wei told them seriously: "Although these are made by grandpa, you should still eat less fried and spicy foods."
"Unless you promise grandpa that each of you will drink a glass of water after eating."
Zuo Zuo You You agreed without hesitation and ran to get their cartoon water cups.
Uncle Wei decided to be a parent who would not spoil the fun, so he ate with his children.
Xiao Wei looked at the three grandparents and grandchildren eating heartily, took a bite of potato chips hesitantly, his eyes shining: "Crispy, delicious!"
……
The “Healthy Snacks Campaign” was successfully completed and the food produced was widely praised.
Mr. Fu even advertised in class: "I made potato chips from the potatoes I peeled myself yesterday, and my son cried after eating them."
Uncle Duanmu, who was sleeping, was woken up by Old Fu to chat.
He looked at Lao Fu with a resentful face.
"Were you a thief at night?" Old Fu looked at Uncle Duanmu's dark circles in surprise.
Uncle Duanmu's eyes were empty. "I have to take the first test tomorrow. I'm so nervous."
