Chapter 659 Dessert dish made with lotus seeds - Yipin lotus seeds! Have you ever eaten jar dumplings?(2/3)
Lin Xu smiled:
"You exercise so much that you won't gain weight, but I'm worried that you don't have enough nutrition... Go wash your hands. Don't think you can hide the fact that you just touched your feet by changing the subject."
"Tch, this girl comes from the nine heavens, she is pure and innocent. How can you, a mere mortal, despise her... If you can, don't hold me to sleep at night!"
Lin Xu: "..."
I really don’t have this ability. After all, I have a sweet-smelling and soft baby to sleep with at night, and I can wake up laughing from my dreams. How can I give up this kind of treatment?
At the invitation of delicious food, Shen Jiayue went to the sink next to the kitchen, carefully washed her hands with hand sanitizer, and smelled them after washing, as if she was checking carefully.
But I only realized it after smelling it twice:
"My feet don't stink, they don't smell at all."
Lin Xu peeled out all the lotus seeds, and then brought a slightly flatter steaming bowl.
Spread the blanched pork net oil on the bottom of the bowl, place the cleaned lotus seeds, then sprinkle with crushed rock sugar, and cover the top with a layer of pork net oil.
Finally, pour a spoonful of hot water into it.
Open the steaming cabinet, take out the steamed yam inside, put the prepared lotus seeds in, and start steaming.
"Wow, there are yam? How to eat this? Dip it in sugar?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"For embellishment of lotus seeds."
After that, he peeled the yam, put it in a bowl, added some sugar, and pounded it into a puree. Then he brought a clean large plate and put the pureed yam into a square shape.
This dish has various shapes, and the edges can be made into circles, ovals, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, etc., so the degree of freedom is relatively high.
Lin Xu didn't put so much thought into it and made it into a square.
The entire perimeter looks like a model of a city, and with the plate, it also looks like a huge copper coin. My father-in-law will probably like it very much when he sees it.
While I was busy, a piercing voice came from the kitchen door:
"Meow~~~~~"
As soon as Shen Jiayue heard this, she quickly walked over and held the little guy in her arms:
"What's wrong, baby? Are you hungry?"
"Meow!"
She must be hungry. Shen Jiayue took out a piece of dried fish from the cupboard, tore it into pieces with her hands, put it on a plate, and brought it to the little guy:
"Baby, please rest your head first, and mommy will steam the meat for you."
Dundun hummed softly and rubbed Shen Jiayue with her big head, then lowered her head and started eating the dried fish.
"Xubao, what should I give Dundun to eat today?"
"Let's eat shrimps... For those chilled prawns, pick a few big ones and blanch them, then fish them out and peel the shrimps for Dundun to eat."
The adults can make do with it, but the cat cannot be wronged and must feed it as well as possible. After all, the little guy made a lot of money at this car show.
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
“Should we put the egg yolk?”
"Don't add it this time. The quality of the prawns is good. There is no need to add egg yolk... It's just a good time for you to experience the use of shrimp eye water."
To make boiled prawns, you cannot boil the water, but the shrimp eye water at about 70 degrees is best.
The chefs all know this, but Shen Jiayue doesn't understand it at all, so Lin Xu plans to teach it on the spot.
While talking, he cut the red dates into plum blossom shapes and placed them outside the yam paste to increase the color of the dish and make people's eyes brighter.

Shen Jiayue went to the stove next to her and started boiling water. When the shrimp eyes were boiling, Lin Xu reminded:
"Turn down the heat, add the prawns and start boiling them. Just wait until the prawns completely change color and fish them out."
"Is it that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple. I'll teach you how to dip it in the sauce later, and you can take photos of the dish of boiled prawns yourself."
"Okay, okay, I was just planning to take a photo of another dish. Thank you Xu Bao!"
Lin Xu felt relieved when he saw that this girl had cooked the shrimps without any risk.
After Shen Jiayue peeled off the shrimps and brought them to Dundun, Mr. and Mrs. Shen also came. They were probably worried that there would be no food at home, so they bought some seafood in the supermarket at the door.
"Xiao Xu, what shall we eat today?"
"You can try the pot dumplings from the Central Plains region later."
As soon as he heard about eating dumplings, Lao Shen became interested.
But thinking of his weight loss plan, he took the initiative and said:
"Just do less, I can't eat more, I have to lose weight."
Since you plan to change your mind, you have to start with every meal.
However, Director Han ruthlessly exposed him:
"Okay, okay, you didn't eat less in the Ginkgo Garden yesterday. Didn't you wrap up all the leftover mutton? Don't think I didn't see it when I went to feed Xiaobai."
Lao Shen grinned:
“I’ve been afraid of poverty since I was a child, so I don’t want to waste food.”
While I was talking, the lotus seeds in the steaming cabinet had already been steamed.
As soon as Lin Xu opened the cabinet door, a very comfortable and sweet smell floated out from inside.
Han Shuzhen was a little moved when she smelled the smell:
"Is this a first-grade lotus seed? It smells delicious."
Lin Xu took the steaming bowl out. The old rock sugar had completely melted, the lotus seeds had been steamed through, and even the pork net oil covering the surface had melted and disappeared.
He took a small slotted spoon, took out the lotus seeds in the bowl, and placed them on the rim in the middle of the plate.
As for the sweet soup left at the bottom of the bowl, pour it into a stainless steel pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then add some water starch to make the soup into a thick honey juice.
Finally, pour it on the lotus seeds on the plate, and sprinkle a handful of cooked melon seeds, and the whole dish is completed.
With the garnish of honey juice, the surface of the lotus seeds is shiny, and the sweet fragrance makes people appetite immediately after smelling it.
Shen Jiayue took a photo with her mobile phone and immediately sent it to her circle of friends:
"Here comes the lotus seeds, and there will also be jars of dumplings later. I originally said we would have something simple to eat, but I didn't expect that it would not be simple at all with a husband who knows how to cook. It's so annoying~"
After showing off, the girl took the plate and went out to eat with Han Shuzhen.
Lao Shen also came over and took a big spoonful from the plate in the name of tasting. On the surface, he was trying to lose weight, but when he saw the delicious food, he was more positive than anyone else.
"Wow, these lotus seeds are delicious, fragrant and sweet."
"That's right, I didn't expect to be able to do this. Lao Shen, please eat less. It's full of lard and sugar, and it's very high in calories."
"I'm just going to taste it. There will be dumplings later, so I won't eat something so sweet... But it tastes really good... I'll have another bite."
Shen Jiayue scooped up a spoonful, put it to her mouth and blew on it, then came to the kitchen and fed it to Lin Xu who had just mixed the dumpling filling.
"Try Xubao, it's delicious!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a message notification sound came from her mobile phone.
"If I guessed correctly, it must have been sent by Yan Bao, planning to add this dish to the wedding banquet... She has been looking for a lot of dishes for her wedding banquet in the past two days. It feels like it is not a wedding, but a food exhibition.
”
Lin Xu chewed the lotus seeds in his mouth and said with a smile:
"It's just this once in a lifetime, and it must be perfect."
This lotus seed is really good, the taste is very good, the fragrance and sweetness are also very good, it is worthy of being a palace dish.
Lin Xu sighed, took out the dough and started rolling it out.
After rolling out the dumpling wrappers, Mr. and Mrs. Shen also came over to help wrap them.
People who grew up in the north may not know how to mix stuffing or roll out the dough, but they basically know how to make dumplings, because it is normal for families to join hands in making dumplings during festivals.
After the dumpling wrappers were rolled out, Lin Xu did not help wrap the dumplings. Instead, he took a green radish, washed it, peeled it and cut it into shreds.
Put shredded radish into a basin, sprinkle a handful of salt to remove the water.
Then wash it again and squeeze the water gently, but it doesn’t need to be too dry.
Sprinkle salt, five-spice powder, green onion and ginger water, pepper water and chopped chives into the shredded radish, then add a small bowl of mung bean starch and stir into a thicker batter.
When fried like this, they become mung bean flour balls, which are also a common ingredient for sour soup balls.
In fact, pot dumplings are a combination of sour soup dumplings and sour soup meatballs. However, the shape of the earthen pot is more unique, and you can experience two delicacies in one dish, so it is more popular.
While Lin Xu was busy preparing meatballs, Shen Jiayue looked at Dundun who was full and drunk, and asked curiously:
