Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

Chapter 211 Vinegar and ginger are indispensable

Zhao Xiaojing waited for Wang Jiandang's answer with curiosity.

Before the second steamer of soup dumplings was brought out, the special favorability of the system background had increased from 1 to 3, a direct increase of 2 points. Last time, a serving of mixed cabbage only got one point, but this time, it was just a serving of soup dumplings, but it was given two points. Zhao Xiaojing was puzzled.

"It's delicious! It's much better than the one your uncle Wang likes. I find that one too sweet, but yours is refreshing and has the original flavor of the ingredients. Even I, who don't like sweet things, think it's delicious!

But in comparison, I still prefer shepherd's purse. I'll dig some when I go back to my hometown in spring. Spring shepherd's purse is even more delicious." ** Ping was the first to praise.

"Your aunt always said that the soup dumplings from that restaurant were sweet, but I didn't think so at first. After eating yours today and comparing them, I felt that they were indeed a little sweeter. Your water chestnuts taste better! The shepherd's purse filling is also very good. The two are equally good and both are delicious!

And your vinegar!" Wang Jiandang said with an excited tone. "Did you buy this vinegar or make it yourself?"

"I made it myself." Zhao Xiaojing followed Wang Jiandang's gaze to the vinegar in the bowl. She suddenly remembered it when she was practicing making shepherd's purse soup dumplings in the virtual space at noon today.

The last time she ordered soup dumplings for takeout, a small disposable box of ginger and vinegar was also included with the order. When she dipped them in the food, she only felt that it had a sour taste, which did not achieve the soul of "for soup dumplings to taste good, vinegar, and ginger are indispensable" at all.

So at noon, she poured out all the balsamic vinegar, rice vinegar, aged vinegar, white vinegar, and sweet vinegar in the kitchen and dipped them one by one. The tastes were different, and each vinegar had its own characteristics, but she felt that none of them were suitable enough.

After that, she began to experiment again and again until the last time she mixed balsamic vinegar, rice vinegar and aged vinegar in proportion, and added a little sugar and a little ginger juice.

The taste took a qualitative leap when I tasted it again, and I finally felt like the soup dumpling was my soul mate.

When she went to the kitchen with the fruit at noon and saw the apple in her hand, Zhao Xiaojing had another idea. She quickly jumped into the virtual space and tried to reduce the amount of sugar and add some apple juice to the vinegar.

This time the qualitative leap was more obvious. The whole bowl of vinegar went straight to a higher level, and this was the final version.

"No wonder, I've never tasted anything like it. The vinegar you made is really good! It's fragrant and sour at first, and leaves a sweet aftertaste in the mouth. The buns tasted very fresh to begin with, but I didn't expect that they would taste even better after adding vinegar. It's both appetizing and refreshing. I can eat two baskets of buns with just this vinegar!" Wang Jiandang praised generously.

** Ping chuckled, "Xiao Zhao, you don't know your uncle Wang's obsession with vinegar. Others just dip crabs in vinegar when eating them, and it doesn't matter what kind of vinegar it is, but your uncle Wang buys crab vinegar specifically. He even buys a box of crabs just for the crab vinegar! Every time he goes to Shaanxi Province, he brings vinegar back, insisting that the Qishan vinegar there tastes different from the vinegar here! But I can't tell the difference."

"It's a pity that Xiao Zhao doesn't sell vinegar, otherwise I would buy a few pieces to take back." Wang Jiandang happily took the spoon and added a large spoonful of vinegar to the skin filling that had drunk all the soup.

Zhao Xiaojing smiled, finally understanding why she got two points for once. "It's simple, I'll write down the ingredients list later, and Uncle Wang can mix it himself at home next time!"

"Oh! Thank you. Thank you in advance, Xiao Zhao!" When Wang Jiandang heard this, he was visibly surprised and started dancing with his free hand.

"I haven't finished yet. Your soup is also very delicious. What did Xiao Su say just now? Yes, the chicken really didn't die in vain! Haha, that's the feeling!" Wang Jiandang glanced at ** Ping and laughed happily.

"It sounds like an adjective that means comb." Zhao Xiaojing got the answer and then started to use her chopsticks, picking up the shepherd's purse soup dumplings while smiling.

I started making shepherd's purse soup dumplings at noon, but once I got familiar with the process, I got the hang of it quickly. When I made them in the afternoon, they smelled good.

"The pork filling has a firm texture and tastes fresh. It is also juicy. After drinking the soup, you can eat the filling and it is juicy. Xiao Zhao must have spent a lot of money on the ingredients, right?" Wang Jiandang saw Zhao Xiaojing eating the shepherd's purse soup dumpling and picked up another one.

"Old hens are a little more expensive, but we don't waste them. At noon, we took out the stewed chicken and bones. We made a dipping sauce and a dry dish to dip them in."

Zhao Xiaojing ate a shepherd's purse soup dumpling in a flash and found the soup delicious and fragrant.

Like **Ping, she prefers salty and savory tastes. She prefers shepherd's purse soup dumplings to water chestnut soup dumplings.

The flavors of the shepherd's purse soup dumplings are well blended, and without too many miscellaneous seasonings, the wild vegetable aroma of shepherd's purse and the fat aroma of pork are preserved very completely. You can clearly taste the original flavors of the two ingredients, and feel the layered sense formed by the two ingredients complementing each other after being fused together.

At the same time, the pork is still granular, with a mixture of fat and lean meat, tender and chewy, mixed with the fragrant taste of wild vegetables, and it is so delicious that it reaches the top of your head.

"Yeah, that's right! The dipping sauce that Sister Jing prepared is so fragrant, and it tastes good both dry and wet. I can't wait to add it to my rice! At noon, I dipped the meat in the sauce, and I chewed even the bones several times!" Ouyang Yidan held the soup dumpling with a plate, and was immediately excited when he mentioned the dipping sauce.

"Don't mention it. Whenever my family makes chicken soup, I don't eat chicken because I think it's bland. But today, after I dipped it in the dipping sauce, I thought it was good again! Although the old chicken tastes a little worse and is a little harder to chew, it is still very fragrant after being dipped in the sauce. Not to mention the big bones, we all grabbed them!" Su Yuchen laughed. "If I hadn't grabbed them quickly, I wouldn't have been able to eat the mirror!"

"That's a good idea! Every time we make chicken soup at home, the chicken is wasted. I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't told me. In fact, I eat it this way every time I go to a Cantonese restaurant. I can dip it at home as well. I'll try it next time." **Ping got the inspiration and slapped her thigh.

"Ahem." Wang Jiandang covered his mouth and coughed twice. "Wife, for us, wasting some things is thrifty.

In our house, the best destination for that thing is the stomach of the security guard's dog. Otherwise, not only the chicken is wasted, but also two bowls of dipping sauce, and a whole lunch of cooking and washing dishes!"

A table of people laughed.

"This dipping sauce is not easy to make. It requires a lot of seasonings that you don't have at home, and some of them need to be processed in advance. Aunt Chen, if you want to make it next time, let me know and I will prepare it for you in advance. I have everything here, so it's convenient to prepare it." Zhao Xiaojing said as she lowered her head and reviewed the method of making the dipping sauce.

I originally wanted to tell **ping the recipe directly, but some of the ingredients are uncommon, and it also involves proportions and stir-frying, which is a bit complicated for people who are not proficient in cooking. It would be more convenient for her to mix it directly.
