After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

The turmoil subsided.

The order in front of the stalls has returned to normal, and it's even busier than before.

Everyone knows that this boss not only has amazing skills, but also a powerful background! Even Young Master Qin personally endorses him, so who would dare to cause trouble in the future?

in the car.

Tuantuan looked out the car window at her busy father. Although she didn't quite understand what had just happened, she knew that her father had won again.

"Dad is amazing..."

The little girl hugged Princess Elsa and silently gave her father a hundred points in her heart.

Lin Fan.

While frying the rice, the pleasant system notification sounded in my ear:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully resolving the external crisis and gaining high recognition from the people!]

[Hidden Quest Completed: Rise to Fame!]

[Reward: Soup Dumpling Recipe Unlocked Early!]

Lin Fan's movements suddenly quickened, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Soup dumplings...

finally come!

This is a truly deadly weapon that can make people cry!

……

Six o'clock in the morning.

As dawn broke over Jiangcheng, Lin Fan was already busy in the cramped kitchen of his rented apartment.

Although last night's "pulling a car with bare hands" incident left him physically exhausted, the mental excitement kept him wide awake.

Seeing the new recipe lying quietly in the system panel made him even more eager to try it out.

Crab Roe Soup Dumplings

【Ingredient Description:】

Black Mountain Pig Foreleg: Grown in the deep mountains at an altitude of 2000 meters, drinking spring water and eating wild fruits, the meat is firm and has a golden 3:7 fat-to-lean ratio.

Golden high-gluten wheat flour: It has a rich wheat aroma and excellent extensibility, allowing you to roll out dough that is as thin as a cicada's wing without breaking.

Secret Recipe Crab Roe Jelly: This is the soul of soup dumplings! It uses the roe of top-grade Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, which is simmered into a golden broth and then cooled into a crystal-clear jelly.

"This configuration..."

Lin Fan looked at the ingredients extracted by the system and couldn't help but swallow.

Ordinary soup dumplings are usually made by melting pork skin jelly into the soup, which is delicious but inevitably greasy.

And this system is so extravagant that it uses crab roe soup to make aspic!

This isn't a steamed bun! It's practically a "depth charge" wrapped in dough!

"start!"

Lin Fan washed his hands, and his eyes instantly became focused.

Step 1: Kneading the dough.

The golden wheat flour provided by the system is pure white and delicate, with a feel like silk.

Lin Fan kept the water temperature at 60 degrees Celsius, stirring as he poured the water.

"Slap! Slap!"

With the added benefit of a strengthened physique, each press during kneading was just right.

The dough was slapped and kneaded on the cutting board, gradually becoming smooth as jade, and emitting a faint aroma of wheat.

Step 2: Prepare the filling.

The black mountain pork is minced, and scallion and ginger water is added to remove the fishy smell. Then, water is added in three batches, and the mixture is stirred vigorously clockwise until it becomes sticky.

Finally, and most importantly.

Lin Fan took out the golden and translucent "crab roe jelly" from the system space, cut it into small cubes the size of a fingernail, and carefully mixed it into the minced meat.

These aspics are solid at room temperature, but they will instantly turn into hot and delicious soup as soon as they are heated!

Step 3: Packaging.

This is when true skill is put to the test.

Lin Fan tore off small dough pieces, each no bigger than a coin, and the rolling pin danced in his hands.

In the blink of an eye, a sheet of dough, thick in the middle and thin at the edges, so thick that fingerprints can be seen through it when held up to the light, is created.

Fill with filling, pleat, and seal.

Lin Fan's fingers moved with such dexterity that they seemed to be dancing.

"One, two, three... eighteen!"

A standard eighteen pleats!

Each bun is like a white chrysanthemum bud, so delicate that one hesitates to touch it. The opening is sealed with a small "fish mouth," which is both breathable and aesthetically pleasing.

"Wow! Dad, are you making clay? It looks so pretty!"

I don't know when, but Tuantuan woke up.

The little girl, wearing pink pajamas and sporting a messy, tangled hairstyle, peered out from the kitchen doorway, her big, bright eyes fixed on the steamed buns on the cutting board.

"Is the little glutton awake?"

Lin Fan smiled indulgently, "This isn't playdough, it's breakfast Dad made for you, it's called soup dumplings. Go brush your teeth and wash your face, you can eat it right away."

"Yay! Time to eat buns!"

Tuantuan ran towards the bathroom with her short legs.

Lin Fan placed the first batch of wrapped buns into the steamer.

Since we don't have a professional bamboo steamer at home, we can only make do with a regular stainless steel steamer.

"call--"

The fire boils, and steam rises.

Ten minutes later.

The faint aroma of noodles and meat that had been wafting through the kitchen suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

That's the umami flavor of crab roe brought out by the high temperature, mixed with the rich aroma of pork, and it bursts out unrestrainedly through the micropores of the dough!

This flavor is even more domineering and aggressive than fried rice!

"Gulp..."

Tuantuan, who was brushing her teeth, stopped what she was doing with foam in her mouth.

"Daddy! It smells so good! Tuantuan's toothpaste isn't sweet anymore!"

……

……

The moment of unveiling.

Lin Fan turned off the heat and lifted the pot lid.

After the white steam dissipated, the six soup dumplings in the steamer underwent a magical transformation.

The originally white dough has now become translucent, and you can vaguely see the pink meat filling inside, as well as... the flowing, golden broth!

They are no longer standing upright, but because they are filled with soup, they lie lazily on the steamer like heavy little water bags, yet they do not break because of the elasticity of the dough.

This presentation is absolutely amazing!

"Come here, Tuantuan, be careful it's hot."

Lin Fan picked up a steamed bun, placed it in a small bowl, and gently blew on it.

Tuantuan couldn't wait any longer and grabbed the spoon to put it in her mouth.

"Wait! You can't bite into this directly!"

Lin Fan quickly stopped his daughter and patiently taught her, "There's a trick to eating soup dumplings: lift gently, move slowly, open a window first, then drink the soup, swallow it in one gulp, and your mouth will be full of fragrance."

"Open the window first?" Tuantuan tilted her little head, looking completely bewildered.

Lin Fan gave a demonstration.

He lowered his head and gently bit a small opening in the side of the bun.

Instantly, a burst of golden hot air shot out!

Through this "small window," you can clearly see the crab roe soup inside sloshing around, like a hidden golden ocean.

"Huff huff..."

Lin Fan blew on the hot air, then gently inhaled through the small opening.

"Slurp—"

The piping hot broth enters the mouth.

In that instant, Lin Fan closed his eyes.

fresh!

It's so damn fresh!

The rich flavor of crab roe and the fat of pork are perfectly emulsified at high temperatures, making the soup so thick it's almost sticky. As it slides down your throat, the delicious and stimulating sensation gives you goosebumps all over!

This doesn't look like eating steamed buns.

This is practically like "drinking" a concentrated umami bomb!

Even after finishing the soup, the remaining dough and meat filling are still exceptional. The dough, soaked in the broth, is chewy and soft, while the meatballs are firm and bouncy.

One bite and you'll feel incredibly satisfied!

"Wow! Daddy, I want to learn too!"
