My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 60 Stir-Fried Chestnuts in Sugar
The chestnuts are ready, and the stones are heated next.

Turn on the fire and keep turning the stones in the frying pan so that all the stones are heated evenly.

When the temperature is right, add two tablespoons of honey to the pot and continue to stir fry.

Under the action of honey, the stones and iron pans were stained with a beautiful oily color.

The light fragrance of honey can enhance the flavor and sweetness of chestnuts, making it the perfect combination.

Among them, the choice of honey is also particular.

Try to choose honey that is more compatible with the fragrance of chestnut, so as to make the fragrance harmonious and unified.

Liu Minghui chose chestnut flower honey.

The rich chestnut flower fragrance blends with the chestnut itself, and it goes down in one bite.

Chestnut-specific rich aroma, powdery taste, sweet taste.

Mixed together and eaten, it is unstoppable.

After the stone is hot enough, put the processed chestnuts into it and keep stirring.

At this time, you must not be lazy.

Otherwise the chestnuts will not be heated evenly and lose their best flavor.

During the period, according to the situation of the chestnut, add honey twice in two times.

Stir-fry until the chestnuts are oily and shiny, the opening is exploded, and they are fully ripe, and the sugar-fried chestnuts are complete.

During this time, constant stir-frying was required, and it took Liu Minghui nearly an hour to complete.

Smelling the chestnut fragrance emanating from the pot, Liu Minghui felt that his saliva began to secrete crazily, and he was hungry.

Next, just use a slotted spoon to sift out the chestnuts.

Under normal circumstances, the stones will be much smaller than chestnuts, just enough to ensure that all the stones are sieved out.

However, Liu Minghui used relatively large stones, so it was naturally impossible to use this method.

He took out a chopstick directly, and with quick eyes and quick hands, he picked out a chestnut.

Under Liu Minghui's hands, the usually slippery chestnuts, extremely tame, were picked out one by one, and soon filled a big bowl.

Some people may be curious, chestnuts are fried with honey to enhance the taste, but why are they fried with pebbles?

This is actually a cooking method similar to salt curium and beggar's chicken. It is a cooking process that uses a solid medium to transfer heat.

This can not only maintain the original taste of chestnuts, but also lock the original aroma of chestnuts.

Because stones are heated quickly and transfer heat quickly, they can provide and maintain the temperature needed to make chestnuts crisp and tender.

At the same time, the moisture in the chestnut is evenly distributed in the shortest time.

Finally, the effect of concentrating the umami of chestnuts is achieved.

It can also be said that it is the addition of stones that makes the chestnuts sweeter, more flavorful, and more fragrant.

After turning off the fire, Liu Minghui brought the freshly cooked chestnuts to the table.

Get ready to enjoy this rare delicacy.

Rhubarb, who was sleeping, smelled the scent of chestnuts, and couldn't sleep anymore. He came to Liu Minghui's feet wagging his tail.

She kept rubbing her head against Liu Minghui's thigh, acting cute.

Well, I can't eat alone again.

The chestnuts just out of the pan are still very hot, but they are also the time when they taste the best.

After the temperature goes down, there will be no glutinous rice flour just out of the pan.

At the same time, the chestnut skin also begins to stick due to the volatilization of the water in the chestnut itself, which is not easy to peel off.

Liu Minghui endured the chestnut's hot hands, and picked up the biggest and plump chestnut.

The opening of the chestnut is just right, barely hurting the flesh of the chestnut.

Just gently breaking along the opening, a round chestnut was peeled off.

Golden color, exudes a seductive aroma.

After cooling it slightly, Liu Minghui put the chestnut into his mouth.

Rhubarb will be fed later.

Besides, the book says that it is not good for dogs to eat chestnuts.

People eat chestnuts tonic.

So I eat more.

Although it is still a little hot, it is already a very suitable temperature for the entrance.

Before I start chewing, I can feel the fragrance of chestnut and a touch of sweetness.

This is the sweetness of honey attached to chestnuts.

One bite, it is extremely powdery, glutinous, sweet and fragrant.

There's even a hint of caramel flavor.

It was so delicious, Liu Minghui couldn't help but peeled another one and started eating.

What about mine?
Seeing Liu Minghui's expression of enjoyment, Rhubarb also got anxious and barked.

If Liu Minghui ate a few more, maybe it would be so anxious to speak out.

Fortunately, Liu Minghui did not forget it.

Quickly peel three yellow chestnuts and put them in the rhubarb dog bowl.

It seems that the fragrance of chestnut is too tempting. This time, rhubarb could not hold back the temptation.

He opened his mouth wide, one at a time, and swallowed all three chestnuts into his stomach.

Before swallowing, a pair of eyes stared straight at Liu Minghui.

It seems to be saying, I want more!

Liu Minghui was helpless, what kind of super foodie is this?

He put a chestnut directly into Dahuang's dog bowl and said earnestly: "Dahuang, if you want to eat chestnuts, you have to move your paws yourself."

"The chestnuts you peel yourself are the sweetest."

After speaking, Liu Minghui looked at Rhubarb with some amusement.

Dogs don't know how to shell chestnuts, do they?
Rhubarb glanced at Liu Minghui with contempt, and licked the chestnut into his mouth.

The mouth moved a few times, and then a complete chestnut shell was spit out together with the chestnut skin.

Judging by the speed, it is no slower than Liu Minghui's hand peeling.

It even knows not to litter, spitting its shells in the corner of the dog bowl.

Seeing Rhubarb's silky movements, Liu Minghui's smile froze on his face.

Hell, this is a dog that only eats chestnuts.

However, the good news is that Liu Minghui doesn't need to help Rhubarb peel chestnuts.

It works on its own.

So, after pouring a bowl of chestnuts into the dog bowl, Liu Minghui enjoyed the delicious chestnuts by himself.

……

One person and one dog, moving quickly.

A pot of chestnuts was wiped out in a short time.

Liu Minghui was a little bit regretful that he missed the big foodie rhubarb, which resulted in less preparation of chestnuts.

If you have the chance, you can do it again.

After briefly cleaning up the chestnut trash, Liu Minghui came to the kitchen again.

But this time, he didn't intend to continue practicing speculation.

He is going to prepare a dough for making stone cakes.

Due to the need to wake up the noodles, to make stone cakes, you can only prepare them in advance.

It happened that I was going to go out for a walk with rhubarb, and the time was just right.

Prepare the dough before departure, and after walking the dog back, the waking up is basically completed.

At that time, making stone cakes is also a matter of going with the flow.

Stone cake is one of the traditional pasta in Huaguo. It tastes crispy and delicious, rich in nutrition and easy to digest.

Because stones are used in the production, and after molding, there are stone-shaped stripes on the cake, so it is named.

The cooking principle is similar to sugar-fried chestnuts, and it is also a high-temperature cooking food transferred by stones.

Take an appropriate amount of yeast, melt it with warm water, and mix it into the flour.

Then keep kneading until a smooth dough is formed.

Then put the dough into a larger container to proof.

This step is very simple, but it takes a lot of time to wake up.

When Liu Minghui came home from a walk with the dog, it was just right, with a little cooking, it could be lunch.

Liu Minghui was enjoying himself here, but he didn't expect that a storm caused by himself was about to erupt.

Today is Thursday, when the truth show starts.
