Making mashed potatoes seems very simple, but if you want to make mashed potatoes delicious, you need a little skill.
First, Ye Fei carefully removed the potato skin, and then cut the potatoes into small pieces with a knife.
Then turn on the fire, place a small pot on the stove, put the potato cubes one by one in the pot, add appropriate amount of water to it, cover the pot and start cooking over high heat.
During this waiting process, Ye Fei began to clean the shrimp.
This kind of shrimp is not as difficult to clean as lobster. Put four shrimps in a small basin, add some water, soak them for a while, and then start cleaning them.
He found a pair of scissors among the tools provided by the system, carefully cut off the shrimp head at an angle of about 40 degrees, and then carefully picked out the shrimp brain with the tip of the scissors.
When choosing shrimp brains, Ye Fei discovered a surprise. The shrimp provided by the system actually had shrimp roe, and there were a lot of them.
"It's true that it's expensive. I didn't expect there to be so many shrimp roe. This is a good thing." Ye Fei muttered.
With that said, Ye Fei picked out the brain of the shrimp, then gently pulled it out, and pulled out the intestines of the shrimp. This thing cannot be eaten. The popular method is to cut the back of the shrimp with scissors, and then cut the shrimp into pieces. Pick out the intestines.
However, after the shrimp is cooked, the back will split and the integrity of the shrimp body cannot be guaranteed. If it is just for eating, this method is still advisable.
After the shrimp intestines were removed, Ye Fei used scissors to cut off the shrimp tails, but a little bit of shrimp meat was left when cutting.
At this point, one shrimp is almost enough.
Then Ye Fei took another shrimp and began to repeat the above actions.
He was a little rusty at first, but after cleaning two of them, his speed picked up.
Not long after, the four shrimps were cleaned up by Ye Fei.
By this time, the potatoes were already cooked.
Ye Fei turned off the heat, then carefully took the potato pieces out of the pot with a slotted spoon, placed them on a plate to cool for a while, and then found a clean paper bag from the tools provided by the system.
Ye Fei didn't know what material this paper bag was made of, but it felt very strong.
After a while, the potato pieces became cold.
Ye Fei carefully put the potato pieces into the paper bag and sealed the mouth of the bag, but squeezed out the air in the bag while sealing.
Next is the mashed potatoes.
Ye Fei took out a half-foot-long small rolling pin from among the tools and gently started to roll it back and forth on the paper bag.
As it is crushed over and over again, the potato pieces in the paper bag quickly turn into mashed potatoes.
After crushing it for two minutes to make sure that the mashed potatoes were completely uniform, Ye Fei put away the small rolling pin and carefully cut the paper bag from the side with scissors, revealing the mashed potatoes that were the same color as cornmeal inside.
Ye Fei could already smell a wonderful fragrance without adding anything to the mashed potatoes.
"It's really the best. If you just take out this mashed potato and buy it, people will probably line up to buy it. It's so fragrant. I've never smelled such an alluring potato aroma."
Ye Fei is looking forward to the potato and shrimp balls he is going to make more and more. He is looking forward to what kind of wonderful taste it will be after mixing these top-notch ingredients.
Remove the mashed potatoes from the paper bag and place in a small bowl and set aside.
Only then do you start cooking the shrimp.
I still used the same pot, changed the water, put the cleaned shrimps and shrimp tails in the pot and boiled them.
Boiling shrimp is also a science, because shrimp meat is a very tender meat. If you cook it for too long, it will cause the shrimp meat to become old and hard, and it will taste bad. If the time is too short, it will not be cooked. Heat.
So it only takes about two to three minutes to cook the shrimp.
After the shrimps turned red, Ye Fei took them all out of the pot and put them on another plate.
Wait until the shrimps have cooled down a bit, then start peeling off the shells.
When the shrimp shells are removed, what appears is the shrimp meat as white as jade, but there are light red lines on the back of the shrimp meat, which looks very beautiful and very attractive.
After these were done, Ye Fei put the four shrimp tails aside, chopped the shrimp meat into puree with a knife, and put it together with the mashed potatoes.
The next step is to stir evenly.
When mixing the mashed potatoes and shrimps, Ye Fei appropriately added the milk and white sugar provided by the system, and also added some chili powder and pepper.
Of course, you can choose these two materials yourself. If you don’t like spicy food, you don’t need to add these two materials.
After everything was added, he mixed the potato and shrimp mashed potatoes with his hands for two minutes, and finally started kneading the potato and shrimp balls. While kneading the potato and shrimp balls, Ye Fei also kneaded the shrimp tails in. The tails were exposed and looked very good. nice.
Ye Fei's ingredients were very small, so he carefully kneaded four potato and shrimp balls, which were round, small and cute.
Knead the potato and shrimp balls, then roll them gently in the bread crumbs provided by the system, and let the bread crumbs wrap the four cute shrimp balls.
This production is completely completed, and the next step is to explode.
Changing a pot and heating it up, Ye Fei put two boxes of top-quality rose cooking oil in. After a while, the rose cooking oil melted, and a unique fragrance came out.
Ye Fei sniffed hard and his saliva almost flowed out.
"I'll never be tired of smelling this smell for the rest of my life."
Not long after, the rose cooking oil was hot enough, and Ye Fei carefully put four potato and shrimp balls into it.
As soon as he put it in, Ye Fei smelled a more charming smell, which was a mixture of rose cooking oil, mashed potatoes and shrimp meat. It had a light rose fragrance and the unique fragrance of potatoes, plus The delicious smell of the deep-fried shrimp meat made Ye Fei's whole body float up.
"Made, it's the best. It's unbearable to smell it. I really don't know what it will feel like when I make it and eat it. I'm really looking forward to it."
In fact, not only was he full of expectations, but the little Shapi under his feet was licking his lips constantly. The puppy was still thinking in his heart: It smells so good, it smells so good, it smells so good, what on earth is this guy doing? Why does it smell so good? Hmm, it seems to taste better than fried meat. Oh, I must eat one soon.
The rose cooking oil was boiling, small oil bubbles appeared, and then exploded on the oil surface, sending streams of aroma into Ye Fei's nostrils.
Ye Fei wiped his mouth with his hand, and then swallowed.
His eyes were fixed on the four potato and shrimp balls tumbling up and down in the oil, and he saw that the four potato and shrimp balls slowly changed color in the rose cooking oil.
At first, the surface was a little white, but as time went by, the four potato and shrimp balls began to slowly turn golden.
"Damn it, I can't stand just looking at this color."
As Ye Fei spoke, he began to flip four potato and shrimp balls with a slotted spoon.
When the fried six or seven were ripe, Ye Fei took four potato and shrimp balls out of the oil and placed them on a plate.
At this time, Ye Fei resisted the urge to eat. After the four potato and shrimp balls became cold, he put them in the oil and started frying them.
This frying method can make the appearance of the potato and shrimp balls crispier to the greatest extent.
This time it took very little time. After a minute or two, Ye Fei fished out the four potato and shrimp balls, drained the oil, and put them on a plate.
Ye Fei was excited at the thought of being able to eat this delicious food right away.
"Top-quality mashed potatoes, top-grade shrimp paste, top-grade cooking oil, top-grade ingredients, everything is top-notch. If the taste is not top-notch, it is simply not worth the effort of these ingredients."
Ye Fei stared at the four shrimp balls on the plate, picked them up, and carefully placed them on the small table nearby.
But just as he put the plate on the table, he saw a sudden black shadow flying over. Before he could react, there were only three potato and shrimp balls left on the plate.
Ye Fei: "@#$%&"
"Nah, Xiaopi, I'm not done with you anymore!! Get out of here, get out of here, get out of here, get out of here."
In Ye Fei's mind, he felt like ten thousand alpacas were rushing past like crazy, and he was really going to go crazy.
I finally made the potato and shrimp balls, but before I could eat them, one of them escaped the puppy. I was really crazy.
(The photo of the potato and shrimp balls has been posted in the group. Brothers and sisters who want to see it can join the group to have a look. The group number is 459762637. Well, it actually looks really good.)
