Flowers are definitely a very special category in gourmet food, because their value lies in their ornamental value, and few people use them as food.
But this does not mean that they cannot be eaten. Some flowers still have strong edible value, such as chrysanthemums, lilies, locusts, lotus, roses, roses, perilla, etc. These flowers are not only pleasing to the eye, but also themselves The nutritional value of flowers is also very high. The protein contained in some flowers is even higher than that of many kinds of meat, and the vitamin C is higher than that of many kinds of fruits. Therefore, in some foreign countries, flower-eating people have appeared for a while. Some particular countries even call edible flowers "flower food".
As for countries that can make flowers into a wide variety of delicacies, China is definitely second to none. In thousands of years of Chinese history, in order to survive, the ancestors of China have tasted too many things, which will be beneficial to the human body. Everything is listed as edible.
Ye Fei's next dish today is a dessert. This is also the most common dish where edible flowers appear, because it relies on the unique fragrance and color of flowers.
Fat peach with honey juice. The reason why the honey juice is placed in the front is enough to show the importance of this juice to this delicacy.
And if you want to add the best honey juice to the fat peach, you need to use a kind of flower, which is the kind of flower Ye Fei brought out.
Holding the large transparent bowl in his hand, Ye Fei stretched it forward and said, "Does anyone know this kind of flower?"
Not to mention, many people in the live broadcast room really don’t know each other, but some of them do.
"Ye Shen, is this Osmanthus fragrans?" said an audience member who grabbed the microphone.
Ye Fei nodded with a smile and said: "The vision is very sharp. Yes, this is osmanthus. Specifically, it is the silver osmanthus among the osmanthus. There are many kinds of osmanthus. According to incomplete statistics, there should be more than thirty kinds. It can be It is said that each kind of osmanthus has its own unique color and aroma, and the nutrients contained in it are also different. The one we choose today is Yingui, which is one of the four famous osmanthus together with Sigui, Jingui and Dangui. Osmanthus is the top-grade osmanthus. People regard osmanthus as a necessary material for brewing many kinds of wines and making many kinds of pastries. In ancient times, people once regarded osmanthus as a white flower, which shows how high its value is."
"Today, our delicacy is called honey fat peach. Now we have the fat peach, but the honey is not yet available. When making the honey, we need to use a material called osmanthus sauce. We took out these Osmanthus is used to make osmanthus sauce, but how to make osmanthus sauce? It’s actually very simple.”
With that said, Ye Fei first placed a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus next to him, boiled half a pot of hot water in a water pot, and poured all the sweet-scented osmanthus into the pot.
After scalding it slightly with hot water, squeeze out the water inside, place it on the cutting board, and chop all the osmanthus flowers into small pieces with a knife, also called osmanthus mince.
Put these chopped osmanthus into the transparent bowl just now, then put the wok on the stove, add an appropriate amount of white sugar, then add an appropriate amount of water, and start cooking over medium heat.
After a while, the water boiled and the sugar dissolved. Ye Fei added a small amount of refined salt to it and continued cooking.
When small bubbles appear in the soup in the pot, pour the chopped osmanthus in, stir it gently with a spoon, and wait until the soup in the pot becomes viscous and slightly red. When it turns golden brown, turn off the heat and pour the soup from the pot into the bowl.
"This is the osmanthus sauce we are going to use. Isn't it very simple? It only takes two or three steps to complete. But as for what kind of flavor you want to make this osmanthus sauce, you have to add white sugar and refined salt according to your own preferences. Yes, if you like sweet, add more white sugar. If you like salty, add more salt. The main style of our honey peach dish is mainly sweet, so the osmanthus sauce we make is sweet. Yes, okay, now that we have the osmanthus sauce, this honey-juice plump peach dish will be easy to make."
As he spoke, Ye Fei picked up the fat peach, rinsed it under the faucet, and then peeled off the skin with a fruit knife. Everyone saw that the inside of the fat peach was actually egg yellow, and it looked like it was... It's tempting, especially with the peel removed and the bright, shiny layer of juice on top.
Cut the peeled peach into 1 cm thick slices with a large knife, rinse it again under the faucet, and put it on a plate.
Ye Fei took a bowl and added an appropriate amount of starch into it. After diluting it, he first placed the sliced fat peaches in it.
He turned around and picked up the wok again. After cleaning the inside, he put it on the stove, burned the water stains in the wok over high heat, and added the best peanut oil to it.
When the oil temperature reached 60 to 70% hot, Ye Fei wrapped these fat peach slices in starch and put them into the oil pan.
Although it is fried fruit, the oil temperature is still very strictly controlled. If the oil temperature is too high, the fruit will be fried too thoroughly, and the sweet taste of the fruit itself will be lost. If the oil temperature is too low, the fruit will be fried too raw. , the oil cannot be eaten, and the sweet taste of oil and honey is missing when eaten, so the oil temperature must be controlled well.
The oil temperature of 60% to 70% was just right. Ye Fei put these fat peach slices in the oil pan. Because the fat peach slices contained moisture, the oil pan directly made bursts of sizzling sounds, beside the pieces of fat peach. Countless oil bubbles appeared and then burst.
After a while, when all the fat peach slices in the pot turned into a golden yellow, Ye Fei used a slotted spoon to take them all out and put them on a plate. The next step was to stir-fry the sugar color.
Change the oil, wash the pot, and then add peanut oil. After the oil temperature rises, put the white sugar into the oil and start frying until the color of the oil turns red. Add water, honey and an appropriate amount of sugar, and continue frying. .
When there was the sweet scent of honey in the air, Ye Fei poured the fried peach slices into the pot again, then poured in the osmanthus sauce he had just made, and began to cook it over low heat, mainly to collect it. juice.
It was cooked until the soup in the pot became thick again, and Ye Fei turned off the heat, then took a rectangular plate with four crescent-shaped corners from the side, carved a purple radish into a purple morning glory and placed it on it. He took one end of the plate, and used the skin of the cucumber to make a flower stem and a few leaves at the back, extending it along one edge of the plate to the back. Then he started to serve the prepared honey-juiced peach slices from the pot.
Then Ye Fei took a spoon and scooped out the fat peach slices from the pot.
Everyone could see clearly that as Ye Fei scooped out the fat peach slices from the pot, long golden silk threads were pulled out from under the spoon, like lotus roots being cut off. .
Waiting until all the threads were broken, Ye Fei placed these fat peach slices on a rectangular plate, but he was also more particular when placing them. He did not just put a bunch of them in and then it was done, but let these fat peach slices Pour it in the direction of the purple morning flowers in the rectangular plate to form a ladder shape. Take out all the other fat peach slices in the pot and place them in the same direction.
It’s just that Ye Fei’s skills came online as soon as he placed them.
A long ball of light appeared from the plate, and inside the ball of light, pieces of golden peach slices were rolling up and down, just like golden lives.
Finally, the light group rose to about two meters, exploded, and a piece of golden light particles flew into the distance.
Suddenly, everyone smelled an aura that fascinated them.
Specifically, it was a sweet and fragrant smell, but this was the first time they smelled it, because Ye Fei had never used fruits as ingredients to make delicious food before, and now he suddenly smelled this smell. The unique smell makes many people fall in without paying attention.
It is an aroma that is a mixture of several different sweet aromas. The most obvious one is the aroma of fat peach. Although the fat peach has been deep-fried, its unique sweet and fragrant flavor is still there. It has a very domineering presence, floating in the air like an ocean of extremely sweet fragrance.
But in this ocean of plump peach aroma, suddenly there were small sailboats transformed into the sweet aroma of honey, floating constantly, and the rare but just right sweet scent of osmanthus was blown away by the sea breeze on the sailboat. The blown sails, although few, cannot be ignored.
Sweets relieve greasiness.
The delicacies that Ye Fei cooked just now were all meat dishes, and several of them were deep-fried and deep-fried delicacies. It can be said that the operation just now completely immersed all the audience in the delicious aroma of meat. .
But now Ye Fei suddenly made a sweet and fragrant delicacy. This delicacy was like a ray of sunshine shining through the dark clouds in the sky. It instantly made all the viewers feel brighter and found another feeling that they could let go of. .
"Beautiful! Although this honey-juiced peach dish is simple to make, I have to say that it is really beautiful when this delicacy appears at this time."
"Damn it, I didn't expect that delicacies made from fruits can be so delicious. Look at those fat peach slices. They are golden like gold nuggets. You can't help but look at them."
"I understand. From now on, I will go to the fruit shop to buy vegetables."
"Pfft~~ Funny, you might as well go to the vegetable store to buy fruits. Ye Shen uses fruits to make delicacies to tell us that he is in a very sweet mood at this time, and at the same time it also opens our eyes. How dare you Go to the fruit shop to buy vegetables? You'd be surprised if others don't poop."
"We are rich in apples here. I would like to know if you can make delicious food with apples? Ye Shen."
"Ye Shen, we produce Sydney here, what can we do with Sydney?"
"Damn, do you still need to ask Ye Shen such a simple question? Come here, I will give you the answer, rock sugar snow pear biangbiang ring, you're welcome."
