A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Li Yi has gotten used to Yang Shaoyue's playfulness and out of tune.

Smiling and shaking his head, Li Yi brought the lotus paste stuffing to the counter where the puff pastry was placed.

The meringue and stuffing are ready, and the next step is to make 【Lotus Crisp】.

Although they were quite frightened by the high-calorie lotus paste stuffing, Yang Shaoyue and the others were still full of curiosity about the [Lotus Crisp] that Li Yi said could bloom like a lotus.

Seeing that Li Yi was about to make it, they all surrounded him curiously.

Zhao Jinmai has already taken out a whole sheet of puff pastry, nearly 300 sheets.

Li Yi put a pot of lotus paste stuffing beside him, then squeezed out a ball with his hands, forming a cone the size of a marble.

"Just use this little?"

Yang Shaoyue was a little surprised when he saw Li Yi's stuffing: "I thought it would be as big as a mooncake!"

"Then eat one and you'll be full. Is it still called dim sum?"

As Li Yi said, he took a sheet of puff pastry, and put the cone-shaped lotus paste filling on the puff pastry.

Then, while pinching the edge of the meringue, he closed his mouth and wrapped the stuffing bit by bit.

Watching Li Yi's operation, Yang Shao took it seriously.

But seeing that Li Yi just wrapped the puff pastry and stuffing into a drop-shaped ball, she couldn't help asking curiously, "This isn't a lotus either!"

"Why not?"

Li Yi held the round crispy embryo and asked with a smile, "Isn't this a flower bone?"

"ah?"

Yang Shaoyue was a little disappointed: "This is too confusing, right? I thought it was really a lotus, but it turned out to be a flower bone."

"It hasn't bloomed yet, of course it's a flower bud."

Li Yi smiled, took a small knife, cut into the top of the crispy dough, and flipped his wrist, drawing a few irregular knife marks.

Then, he set up a big pot, scooped up two spoonfuls of lard, put it into the pot, and burned it slowly over a low fire.

The small fire raised the oil temperature very slowly, but Li Yi was in no rush, just waiting quietly.

The lard in the pot began to melt little by little, and the white solidified area gradually became smaller, and finally all turned into liquid fat.

At this time, the oil temperature in the pot is exactly 30%, about 90°C.

Li Yi took a colander, put the finished crisps into the colander, and put them into the oil pan together.

When the crispy embryo was put into the pot, there was no change at first, like a stone dropped into the water.

But with the exchange of temperature, a small amount of tiny air bubbles emerge from around the crispy embryo.

Seeing this, Li Yi reminded: "Be careful, it's about to bloom."

Hearing his words, Yang Shaoyue and the others looked over curiously.

I saw the crisp embryos in the pot accompanied by the rustling sound in the oil, and actually started to speak slowly.

Seeing this, Li Yi slightly increased his firepower.

Soon, at the gap cut by Li Yi, the outer layer of puff pastry began to turn outwards under the soft frying temperature of the oil, just like the outermost petals of a blooming flower.

"Eh? It's blooming!"

Yang Shaoyue exclaimed.

Master Cai has already pointed the camera at the pot, presenting the close-up picture in front of the audience.

"I knew it! It must be fried!"

"It's so beautiful! It's really the same as blooming!"

"Wow! It's still on!"

"Amazing! It looks like a real flower!"

Amidst the exclamation of the audience, the second layer of puff pastry in the pot also began to flip, and the second layer of petals bloomed.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately turned off the fire.

However, the short-term heating of the oil still provides sufficient heat.

Around the puff pastry in the pot, air bubbles spread all over, and the puff pastry on the inner layer began to bloom layer by layer, continuously.

Like a close-up of a lotus flower blooming with time-lapse photography, all the petal layers of the crispy embryo have bloomed, revealing the lotus paste filling inside.

The inverted cone of lotus paste is like a small lotus pod hidden in the center of the lotus petals.

Seeing that the lotus seed paste was exposed, Li Yi increased his firepower a little more.

In ancient times, there was no such convenient stove and firepower. When frying [Lotus Crisp], pay attention to three ups and three downs.

The so-called three ups and three downs means that when the oil temperature rises, the chef should take down the pot and place the charcoal fire to continue to heat up.

Then wait until the oil temperature drops, put the pot on the stove, and continue to heat up.

This process will last three times, which is the so-called three ups and three downs.

This operation is undoubtedly very troublesome for the chef.

Fortunately, modern stoves can already adjust the flame, so there is no need for the chef to manually control it up and down.

As the firepower increased, the crisp embryos in the pot had fully bloomed and turned into a blooming lotus.

Yang Shaoyue in the back had little stars in his eyes, clasped his hands together and exclaimed: "Wow! This is really beautiful!"

The other rocket girls were no better than her, and they all looked at the [Lotus Crisp] in the pot in amazement, and were very excited.

It was also the first time for them to see such delicate and elegant dim sum.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Li Yi picked up the colander and took out the 【Lotus Crisp】.

After controlling the oil, Li Yi took a plate and put [Lotus Crisp] into the plate.

The bright pink [Lotus Crisp] on the white plate is very attractive, as if it is really a lotus flower blooming on the water.

All the rocket girls, including Yang Shaoyue, all took out their mobile phones and took a quick photo of [Lotus Crisp].

And Master Cai's shot was the first one to come over, and the shot is extremely detailed.

"My gosh! This petal looks like the real thing!"

Yang Shaoyue covered his mouth in amazement, the phone flickered one after another, and the continuous shooting mode had been turned on.

The other rocket girls also gathered around the plate, marveling at each other while taking pictures, and even raised their mobile phones to take selfies with 【Lotus Crisp】.

In the live broadcast room, the viewers who saw the finished product [Lotus Crisp] were amazed by the barrage.

"Fuck! Bull beep!"

"It's all because I'm uneducated. A word of bull beep can go all over the world. This is really bull beep!"

"I was stupid. If I hadn't watched it explode with my own eyes, I would never believe that there is such a miraculous pastry in the world."

"Is this really food? It's a work of art, right?"

"Oh my god! I always thought that the mille-feuille was awesome, compared to this, it's nothing but scum!"

"It's no wonder that Chinese-style pastries are not as popular as Western-style baked goods. How many people can make this kind of pastries?"

"This is real luxury!"

In front of the camera, Li Yi didn't bother to say a few words, and was pushed aside by Yang Shaoyue and the others.

Zhao Jinmai held up his mobile phone and stood beside Li Yi, watching eagerly.

She also wanted to shoot, but she didn't squeeze in.

"I'll take a look? I'll take a look?"

Wu Lei had just finished washing the cooking machine at this time, and ran over after wiping his hands.

But [Lotus Crisp] was already surrounded by Yang Shaoyue and others, and he couldn't get in.

However, he is taller and has longer hands. He looked for a gap, reached in, squeezed [Lotus Crisp] in his hand, and picked it up.

The slender [Lotus Crisp] petals were crushed into several layers on the spot. Seeing this scene, the rocket girls all screamed.

"Ah! Don't!"

"careful!"

"You crushed it!"

Wu Lei didn't take it seriously, but just looked at the [Lotus Crisp] in his hand, and praised: "It really looks good! Brother Yi, you are too good!"

After finishing speaking, he directly stuffed [Lotus Crisp] into his mouth in the eyes of Yang Shaoyue and the others who could kill people.

Click!

He took a bite, and the crisp sound of 【Lotus Crisp】was heard clearly by everyone present.
