To accompany my daughter, I worked as a chef in the kindergarten

Chapter 30 Beautiful Jade Shaomai, the handsome guy really enjoys cooking!

"However, I am thinking about the children. My body has long been immune to all poisons. It's okay to eat a meal, but the children's bodies are very delicate. I am afraid of your harm."

"Axue, if you keep doing this, I won't pay attention to you!"

"No more talking, Dad Ye, what can we do for you?"

"Then please two beauties, help me peel some pine nuts and corn. I'll make pine nut corn later."

There are pine nuts in kindergartens as snacks for children. Eating some nuts every day can supplement various trace elements and is very good for the body.

Ye Chen just took a look and found that the quality of these pine nuts was quite good, rich in oil and fat, and also had the effect of lowering cholesterol.

The corn is fresh corn he bought at the market and has been cooked and taken out.

It is easier to use frozen corn kernels, but Ye Chen insists not to use it. It contains additives, and after long-term freezing, a lot of nutritional value will be lost.

When cooking for children, you must use the freshest food.

"Dad Ye, leave it to me!"

"By the way, the corn is freshly cooked, be careful not to burn it."

As for Ye Chen himself, he went to clean out the spring bamboo shoots.

These bamboo shoots all grow in the mountains and forests, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. They are natural and pollution-free. After a thunderstorm, they emerge from the ground one after another and are also called thunder bamboo shoots.

It is as white as jade, the meat is fresh and tender, and the mouth is full of fragrance and very refreshing.

However, the newly unearthed bamboo shoots have a certain earthy smell and need to be washed repeatedly with running water. After this smell is removed, this is the ultimate delicacy.

Spring bamboo shoots are a waste of meat and vegetables. No matter what they are paired with, they will not overwhelm the others, but will add a fresh fragrance and umami flavor.

Wrapped in jade shaomai is also a good choice.

Spring bamboo shoots are divided into three parts: bamboo shoot roots, bamboo shoot joints and bamboo shoot tips. Each part is used differently.

Ye Chen slashed down with the kitchen knife and quickly cut it into three pieces.

Then cut the tip of the bamboo shoots into small pieces.

This time he chose two parts: the roots and tips of the bamboo shoots. As for the bamboo shoot segments, he temporarily stored them for use next time.

The roots of the bamboo shoots are pure white and have thick meat. They are relatively old but have a strong flavor. They are suitable for making soup. They will be used to make chicken soup later and be used to make the base soup for boiling dried shredded bamboo shoots.

Save the fried meat after the bamboo shoot festival.

The tip of the bamboo shoot is the essence of the whole spring bamboo shoot. It is very crispy and the most tender. It is just used in Jade Shaomai to make the taste richer and layered.

Su Qingyin and Shen Xue were peeling corn while admiring Ye Chen's cooking.

It’s a pleasure to watch the handsome guy cooking, and it’s even more exciting to peel the corn.

The noodles have been distributed in advance and can be used directly.

Get the rapeseed, swing your knives quickly, chop the rapeseed thoroughly, the finer the better, chop it into puree, put the chopped rapeseed in with gauze, press it hard with both hands, and squeeze out the excess water.

Add salt, sugar, chicken essence, sugar, lard and other seasonings, and finally add the meat filling and stir evenly.

In fact, the authentic Jade Shaomai does not need to add meat filling, it only tastes like vegetables, and only relies on lard to enhance the flavor, but this method is too monotonous.

And the taste of children must be taken into consideration. They are all meat-lovers. If any meal lacks meat, their appetite will be greatly reduced.

The next step is the process of wrapping. Ye Chen gently holds the shaomai wrapper with his left hand and fills it with the filling with his right hand. As his left hand turns slightly, the shaomai continues to close, and the folds are squeezed out one by one, and finally the whole thing is pinched out. Twenty-four pleats!
  The exquisite and translucent Shaomai skin wraps the emerald-colored filling inside. The whole shape is like a vase, which can even reflect slightly under the sunlight. “Dad Ye, this Shaomai is so beautiful!”

This was the first time Su Qingyin had seen Shaomai like this. The skin was so thin that you could even see the fillings inside. She really didn’t know how it was made!

With a gentle poke, the siomai skin is slightly dented, but quickly rebounds, proving that it is very elastic.

Shen Xue was also full of surprise. She originally thought that siomai was similar to steamed buns, but now it seems that regardless of the taste, this siomai crushes steamed buns in terms of appearance!

There is also a possibility that Father Ye’s level is simply too high!
  "1, 2, 319, 20, 21"

Shen Xue tapped her index finger: "Wow, there are a total of twenty-two pleats!"

"Axue, how did you count? It's obviously twenty-four!"

"Huh? Did I count it wrong?" Shen Xue said with a smile: "Dad Ye, you come to judge, how many pleats are there on this!"

"Teacher Su is right, there are twenty-four pleats in total."

"Hey, Dad Ye, you are facing Teacher Su like this!"

"Axue, what are you talking about!" Su Qingyin pushed her, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Ye Chen said calmly: "What are you talking about? I'm just telling the truth. There are twenty-four pleats on the top. By the way, how are you peeling the corn and pine nuts?"

This Shen Xue seems to have come with bad intentions. She never strays from herself and Teacher Su.

I have never seen big winds and waves, so I can cope with all changes by staying the same!

Yun Danfeng changed the topic lightly, and Shen Xue had to admire Ye Chen's high emotional intelligence.

"This corn is so difficult to peel. It hurts my hands to peel it. So we just peeled it."

Looking at the small bowl handed over, Ye Chen frowned. At this speed, he might not be able to finish peeling it off until the afternoon.

"Dad Ye, can't you use frozen corn instead? I remember there are frozen bags of corn in the refrigerator."

"Of course not. In terms of freshness and nutritional value, fresh corn is far better than bagged corn."

Ye Chen grabbed a piece of corn and said, "Let me demonstrate it to you. Watch it."

Use your hands slightly to break the handle of the corn from the middle. Insert the tip of the scissors into the center of the corn. After reaching a certain depth, rotate the scissors. At this time, the corn will split from the middle and be divided into two halves. Then trim the corn kernels from the sides. Peel off the steak.

The two women looked at each other in shock. He was still struggling to pinch it with his hands. Dad Ye used the scissors and peeled off a row of corn kernels?
  This is awesome!

"Look, it's very simple. Just give it a try, but be careful with your hands. The scissors are quite sharp!"

"Let me try!" Shen Xue grabbed the scissors and followed Father Ye's method, successfully peeling off the corn kernels.

"Dad Ye, you are so awesome!"

"Haha, okay, these are just some tricks."

"Okay, then I'll be responsible for peeling the corn kernels. Qingyin, you can peel the pine nuts."

Shen Xue seemed to enjoy this feeling. Every time the scissors were inserted, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

Ye Chen was terrified.

Isn't this girl a bit psychopathic?
