Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Chapter 51 Pumpkin Pie

When Huang Jun came to the kitchen, Aunt Lin and Aunt Li were already busy as usual.

As usual, he put on his chef uniform, put on his hat, carefully put on his mask, and after disinfecting, he stepped into the operation room.

"Oh, Chef Huang is here!"

When Aunt Lin saw him, she greeted him warmly and reported on the progress of the work: "Chef Huang, I have already processed the pumpkin with Aunt Li, peeled it, and cut it into strips as you requested. Put it on the steamer and steam it for a while. I guess the time is almost up. Check the heat yourself to see if it’s ready to be cooked.”

"Ok."

Huang Jun nodded slightly and expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you both for your hard work."

Aunt Lin laughed heartily and waved her hand: "We are all our own people, no matter how hard it is or not!"

Aunt Li also nodded happily and agreed: "Yes, we are all our own people. It would be too unreasonable to say this! Chef Huang, don't be so polite in the future, otherwise I will really get into trouble with you!"

"Okay! Listen to you guys, I won't say anything anymore!"

Huang Jun walked slowly to the steamer.

The steam is thick and gently curling.

The sweet aroma of ripe pumpkin fills the air along with white water vapor.

Observe for a moment.

When he was sure that the heat was up, he gently opened the steamer and took a look...

The pumpkin slices in the pot are completely cooked and soft.

"Well, it's time to cook!"

He casually picked out the pumpkins from the steamer one by one with tongs, and gently put them aside along with the pots.

Then, he carefully poured away the pumpkin water that was almost overflowing in the basin, and then poured all the steamed pumpkin into a large clean stainless steel basin.

He picked up the mashing spoon and began to patiently mash the pumpkin into a fine paste.

in this process.

He stirred constantly, striving to achieve the best level of fineness.

Then, he added an appropriate amount of sugar to increase the sweetness.

Gently stir it with chopsticks to perfectly combine the sugar with the pumpkin puree and make the pumpkin puree smoother.

He added glutinous rice flour into the basin and continued to stir it until it became flocculated, then he started kneading the pumpkin flour flocculation.

The process of kneading pumpkin noodles is actually very simple, not difficult, and does not require special skills or techniques.

Just mix the glutinous rice flour and pumpkin puree evenly.

Due to the large amount required, it will take a little time during the mixing process to ensure that the glutinous rice flour is fully integrated into the pumpkin puree.

finally.

Huang Jun kneaded out a golden, attractive, smooth and delicate pumpkin dough.

Then, he took another bowl, added some flour into the bowl, poured some brown sugar into it, then added some white sesame seeds, and stirred thoroughly with a spoon.

Such a filling candy filling is ready!
"Chef Huang, what are you...?"

Seeing Huang Jun do this, Aunt Lin had a curious look on her face and asked in confusion.

Aunt Li on the side observed carefully and tentatively guessed: "Are you going to make stuffing? Chef Huang."

"Congratulations, Aunt Li, you were right!"

Huang Jun smiled slightly and then explained, "I'm going to make pumpkin pie."

"I've always eaten pumpkin cakes without any disappointment. I didn't expect you, Chef Huang, to come up with such a novel idea!" Aunt Li exclaimed.

"This is not my original idea. Liquid pumpkin pie has always existed, but it's just rare on the market."

Huang Jun explained with a smile, and then expressed his thoughts: "I want to make something different for children, so that they can also experience the different taste of this pumpkin cake."

After hearing this, Aunt Li and Aunt Lin couldn't help but secretly praise Huang Jun's intentions.

Huang Jun looked at Aunt Lin and Aunt Li and asked with a smile: "Aunt Lin, Aunt Li, can you make pumpkin cakes?"

"Of course! I do it all the time at home."

The two of them said in unison, but they were confused about Huang Jun's intention, so they asked: "Chef Huang, why do you ask?"

Huang Jun explained: "I would like to ask you two to help make pumpkin cakes."

Although Aunt Lin and Aunt Li wanted to help, they were only familiar with ordinary pumpkin pie making and did not know how to make smooth pumpkin pie.

They both looked embarrassed: "But we don't know how to do Liu Xin!" Huang Jun asked with a smile: "Can you do Bao Chui Yuan?"

"Of course!"

Aunt Lin and Aunt Li answered without hesitation, with proud and proud smiles on their faces: "We are very good at this."

"That's good!"

Huang Jun nodded: "The wrapping method of this Liuxin pumpkin cake is actually the same as the wrapping method of Chuiyuan."

"That's it..."

Aunt Lin and the two felt that there was no problem at all. They were both completely capable, so they nodded readily and said, "Then we will help you with it!"

All three of them washed their hands and started making pumpkin pie.

Huang Jun quickly took out a small dough weighing about 50 grams and skillfully kneaded it into a round ball.

Then he inserted his thumb into the center of the ball and began to gently rotate and dimple it.

Add a small spoonful of the prepared brown sugar and sesame filling, and use the tiger's mouth technique to slowly shrink the surrounding dough toward the center.

After the dough is perfectly sealed, he first rolls it into a ball and then gently presses it into a flat shape.

In order to increase the crispy texture of the pumpkin pie skin, Huang Jun gently dipped the prepared liquid pumpkin pie into a bowl of water, then quickly put it into the prepared bread crumbs to evenly coat it with a layer of bread crumbs. To prevent the bread crumbs from falling off during frying, he also pressed it slightly to make it firmer.

The whole process was done in one go!
Due to the mechanized operation, Aunt Li and Aunt Lin could only see Huang Jun's hands flying up and down on the dough.

This time.

Aunt Lin and the two were completely stunned!

At the same time, Aunt Lin, who has decades of experience in making dim sum, had to lament that there was still a gap between their skills and Huang Jun's.

I feel inferior to myself!
"Chef Huang, you are really amazing. This technique is really amazing. There is not even a single unnecessary move that is left unsaid."

"Yes! It was wrapped quickly and well. All the dumplings I have made over the past few decades have been wrapped in vain!"

Huang Jun smiled humbly: "Thank you. In fact, this is the first time I've made this pumpkin pie today. I'm still figuring it out. I'm not very good at it..."

Did you do it so well and so quickly for the first time?
How can you make us veterans feel so embarrassed?

and also…

You call this "not very skilled"?
Aunt Lin and Aunt Li's eyes were full of surprise. They couldn't believe that Huang Jun could do such a good job just for the first time making pumpkin pie.

In contrast.

Their skills seem to be even more... dwarfed by comparison.

"Chef Huang, Chef Huang, do you have any misunderstanding about the word "skilled"?" Aunt Li said jokingly.

"Yes yes yes!"

Aunt Lin nodded and thought as she spoke: "Chef Huang, I seriously doubt that... what kind of competition do you have?"

"Is it Versailles?" Aunt Li thought for a while and reminded.

"Yes, yes, it's Versailles!"

Aunt Lin nodded like a fool: "I seriously suspect that Chef Huang is in Versailles, but unfortunately I don't have that...that evidence!"

Hearing this, Huang Jun couldn't help but reveal a "I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense" expression on his face. He smiled helplessly at them and didn't explain much.

It’s useless to explain anyway!
He continued to immerse himself in making pumpkin pie!
In just a few minutes, the stainless steel square plate was filled with golden-yellow pumpkin pie, each piece wrapped in crispy bread crumbs.

Thinking of Xie Jianing's plea, Huang Jun decided to fry some liquid pumpkin cakes first.

He quickly came to the stove, turned on the gas stove, set up a pot, and poured a large amount of oil into the pot.

soon.

The fire gradually became stronger, the pot on the stove began to make a slight noise, and the oil temperature gradually increased.

Seeing that the oil was almost hot, he gently placed one orange-yellow pumpkin cake after another into the hot oil pan.

After a short period of light frying, the pumpkin cake is soaked in oil and takes on a unique golden color.

Under high temperature blending.

The bread crumbs gradually become crispy, making the whole pumpkin dumpling more golden and attractive.

The entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of fried food...

Spreading out quietly...
