{MTL}✅I rely on delicious food to rub the furries in the interstellar

ch 23

  Jiang Tang planned to make some snacks in private to entertain Lu Rongming's old friend, so he didn't start the live broadcast.

Desserts are foods like pastries. According to legend, there was a general in ancient times. He was very moved when he saw the soldiers fighting bloody battles day and night. Then he ordered to bake delicious pastries that are popular among the people and send them to the front line to comfort the soldiers as a token of "" Gradually, these pastries are called "Dim Sum".

There are many kinds of dim sum. In terms of production methods, there are buns, dumplings, cakes, balls, rolls, cakes, crisps, etc., and when the ancients made dim sum, they paid attention to eating according to the season.

Now that it is summer on G-7012, Jiang Tang decided to make lotus flower cakes and mung bean cakes with summer characteristics.

Jiang Tang's favorite is actually the lotus cake with coconut paste, but now that he is short of ingredients, he can only make a simple version of the lotus cake.

"Lotus Crisp" is named for its shape like a lotus flower. It has a clear crisp layer, beautiful appearance, and crispy and sweet food. It has a special flavor to entertain guests at summer banquets.

Jiang Tang cut the purple sweet potato into pieces, steamed it in a steamer, and then added sugar while it was still hot. Unfortunately, there was no condensed milk, otherwise the taste would be even better.

Then Jiang Tang put the purple sweet potato into a fresh-keeping bag and rolled it into a paste with a rolling pin, so that the "stamen" in the middle of the lotus flower cake will have a more delicate taste.

Knead the mashed purple sweet potato into small balls of the same size and refrigerate for later use.

The next step is to make the pastry. After a lot of hard work, Jiang Tang finally found a substitute for butter, blended it into the flour, kneaded it lightly and then formed it into a ball with the help of a scraper.

Then divide the dough into the same number of balls as the purple potatoes.

Jiang Tang went on to make the oil skin, which was also surrounded by flour and powder to form a powder wall. Put the butter substitute, water, and white sugar in the middle and gently knead it to form a smooth dough.

Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 15 minutes, then divide into equal amounts and roll into small balls.

The preparations were basically completed. Jiang Tang took a small ball and flattened it, wrapped it with pastry balls, put his right hand against the small ball with the mouth of a tiger, slowly retracted it upwards, and finally sealed the mouth and put it on the chopping board to flatten.

Jiang Tang then used a rolling pin to roll the sealed ball into an oval shape, and rolled it up from top to bottom, rolled up all the puff pastry in turn, and let it rest for fifteen minutes. Roll it into an oval shape with a rolling pin again, roll it up from top to bottom, and relax for a quarter of an hour.

Take a piece of puff pastry and press it flat, roll it into a circle, wrap it into a small purple potato ball and slowly close the circle, brush it with egg wash, Jiang Tang uses a knife to lightly draw a "rice" shape on it, it should not be too deep, just right Just expose the purple potato filling.

After setting the heat and time of the oven, and putting a row of neatly arranged semi-finished products into the oven to bake, Jiang Tang turned around to make another snack mung bean cake... Mung bean cake was one of the traditional special pastries in the previous life, and it was also Jiang Tang's comparison

. A favorite summer snack.

According to taste, mung bean cake can be divided into south and north. The north is the Beijing style, which does not add any fat when making it, and the entrance is soft and non-oily; the south includes Su style and Yang style, which will add fat when making it. The taste of the mung bean cake will be softer and more delicate.

The mung bean cake that Jiang Tang made this time has a southern taste.

He steamed the peeled mung beans washed and soaked before going to bed last night in a steamer for half an hour, and then put the steamed mung beans into a cooking machine to crush.

Jiang Tang beat for a while longer, smashing the mung beans into mud. In order to make the final mung bean cake more delicate, he sifted the beaten mung bean puree.

Then Jiangtang melted a piece of butter in the pan. The butter has a milky aroma, which is more suitable for making mung bean cakes than other vegetable oils. Then add the mung bean paste, add white sugar and stir fry, stir the mung bean paste into a ball.

Finally, wait for the fried bean paste to cool, and divide it into small groups of equal amount.

There are two molds for mung bean cake. Jiang Tang took out two customized molds. The shapes of the molds clearly looked like kittens and foxes. This is painted by himself, and it took a long time to communicate with the owner before he got the mold he wanted.

There is butter in the mung bean paste, and it is easy to release the mold after pressing, so the mold does not need to be oiled.

Jiang Tang pressed half of the small dumplings into the shape of a kitten, and the other half into the shape of a little fox.

Peeled mung beans are actually pale yellow. Pieces of mung bean cakes neatly placed on the plate look cute and smell even more fragrant.

Jiang Tang put a cat-shaped mung bean cake in front of Wen Renyuan, and put a little fox mung bean cake on the small plate in front of Lin Yucang.

Lin Yucang liked the texture of this pastry very much, he rubbed Jiang Tang's fingertips, narrowed his eyes and savored carefully.

Wen Renyuan looked at the mung bean cake in front of him with some confusion, why was it made into this shape?

He secretly looked towards Lin Yucang, secretly comparing the sizes of the two pastries in his heart.

After comparing for a long time, I didn't see which one was bigger.

Seeing that Jiang Tang also picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it to his mouth, Wen Renyuan's eyes widened slightly, because what Jiang Tang was holding was in the shape of a cat!

The pale yellow cat pastry was pressed against the boy's bright red lips, and the boy slightly parted his lips, revealing the tip of his pale pink tongue...

Jiang Tang looked strangely at the plate that was accidentally knocked over in front of the little milk cat:?

He stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked the little mung bean cake left on his lips into his mouth. It tasted good and was very suitable for eating in this weather.

Jiang Tang squatted down to replace Wen Renyuan with a new piece of mung bean cake, and put the rest in the refrigerator to make the mung bean cake taste better.

Wen Renyuan looked at the new mung bean cake in the shape of a fox in front of him: ...

At this moment, the oven dinged, and the lotus flower cake was done.

The cuts made on the oily skin before have all been cracked at this time, and the puff pastry is layered on top of each other. With the purple sweet potato embellishment in the center, it really looks like a blooming lotus.

Jiang Tang gently picked up a piece of lotus flower crisp, put it to his mouth and bit it, a crackling sound came from his mouth, the skin was too crispy, Jiang Tang hurriedly reached out to catch the crumbs.

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, it tastes sweet but not greasy. Jiang Tang is satisfied. It seems that his cooking skills have not deteriorated.

"Little Jiang, we're back." Lu Rongming's voice came from outside.

Jiang Tang put lotus flower cakes and mung bean cakes on the plate. The delicate and small cakes looked like works of art.

Just as Jiang Tang went out with the pastries, Lu Rongming just came in from the outside. The two met each other, and Jiang Tang saw the strange man behind him at a glance.

No other, just because the impatience on this man's face is too obvious.

I saw that the man was dressed very casually, his hair was messed up, and although he didn't look dirty, he was indeed a bit sloppy.

He followed Lu Rongming with a displeased face, always feeling that his anger would explode in the next second.

Jiang Tang suddenly remembered what Lu Rongming had told him before, that his friend had a weird personality and a bad temper. Jiang Tang immediately seated the man in front of him, Uncle Lu really did not deceive him.

Sitting down on the sofa like a man, he was still cursing: "Old Lu, you can really do it, trick me into such a place where no shit, go to your mother's natural food..." Jiang Tang pursed his lips

. Pursing her lips, she put the pastry on the small table in front of the man.

With a sweet smell coming, the man stared at the pastry on the plate, but the voice in his mouth became smaller and smaller.

He swallowed subconsciously, "...Fuck, what is this?"
