Whether it is a good Xi habit or a bad Xi habit, as long as it is formed, it will make us abide by it.
I don't know how to cook. It can be cooked, but it can only be cooked, and it is definitely not delicious. Especially for pasta, you can't make any pancakes, steamed buns, etc., only rice is fine, which is also because it is too easy. Now it's all rice cookers and the like, as long as you dig the rice, put in the right water, and then close the lid of the pot and press the button, it's very easy. As for the right water, it is also easy, insert the index finger into the water, and the water surface is one meter away from the index finger. Easy to be!
After sitting in the office, I was not very busy, and I had more spare time, so I began to think about cooking. The first thing I want to do is to steam steamed buns. I remember when I was a child, there was always a piece of fermented dough left at home, and we all called it "dough primer", which is the yeast used to make dough. But now you don't need it, there is ready-made yeast powder, just mix some when you make the dough.
After all, I haven't done it, so it's better to consult for the sake of insurance. I asked my daughter-in-law for advice, she asked me to first melt the yeast powder with warm water, and then use it to mix the dough, knead the dough evenly, cover the lid, let it stand and ferment, and wait for the next day, a small amount of soda and soda, melt it with water, add the dough and knead it well, you can make it into the desired shape, put it in a pot and steam, wait until the water boils, and then steam it for 25 minutes. It didn't seem difficult to listen to, but my confidence was greatly increased.
In everything, it is said that sometimes it is easier to do and sometimes it is difficult, and the same is true for cooking. I lifted the lid and saw that the dough was full of pots, and I was puzzled: "How much soda and baking soda do you need to add to this?" It's better to ask for advice quickly, the daughter-in-law is not at home, so let's ask the neighbors. My neighbor's sister-in-law told me, "Just a little soda and baking soda," and she gestured with her hand. "After kneading the dough evenly, pat it with your hand and make a loud sound, and that's it." "Oh" I finally figured it out, and when I came back, I steamed the steamed bun with three strokes and five divided by two.
Looking at the pot with good eyes, the fire was boiled for twenty-five minutes, I stepped forward to turn off the heat, opened the lid of the pot and looked, in the steaming heat, snow-white steamed buns appeared in front of me. Looking at the snow-white steamed buns, my heart blossomed. I took the pot and started the pot, but when the steamed bread was taken out, I found that the existing steamed bread was dark in color, small in size, and hard in the hand. Obviously, this is a dead noodle steamed bun, which means that the noodles are not fermented well. This made me very discouraged, I did it step by step, how could this be?
The noodles are not good, is it a matter of yeast powder?I took the yeast powder bag to read the instructions, the instructions are simple: that is, use warm water to melt the yeast powder and add it to the flour, you can also mix the yeast powder directly into the flour, add water and noodles, knead the dough evenly, make the required steamed bread blanks, put it for about 40 minutes, the blanks ferment to twice the size, and steam directly in the pot.
This instruction manual is simple and straightforward, just a few lines, and it doesn't take a minute to read it. After reading it, I was puzzled: "This does not add soda and soda, and there is no need to make noodles a day earlier."
When my daughter-in-law returned, I told her my doubts, and she said: She has always done this, and it has become a Xi. She felt that the fermented noodles still had to be neutralized with flour alkali and soda. She did this for decades, including her parents.
She comforted me and said, "It's okay, I often don't have a good face." I know this, I've eaten dead noodles steamed buns before.
That being said, I'm not giving up. I decided to do it again as instructed in the yeast powder.
The next day, I honestly powdered the yeast with warm water according to the instructions, added it to the flour, stirred it into a flocculent shape, kneaded it into a dough, then kneaded the dough evenly, cut it into a small dough, and directly made it into a steamed bun blank, and left it for 40 minutes.
It's been a tough 40 minute. I went to the kitchen for a while to see if the dough had fermented, and I went several times in a row, and there was no change in the dough, and I couldn't help but drum in my heart: "If this is not fermented, I will have to eat dead noodles and steamed buns again." When I think about it, I know in my heart that I am anxious. This time, I simply held myself back and didn't look at it. I watched TV and watched the quartz clock at the same time. As soon as the forty minutes were up, I immediately went to the kitchen to see that the small dough had risen, almost twice the size. I was overjoyed, so hurry up and steam it. I picked up the dough and felt like a crust on the crust, knowing that it was okay this time.
As soon as twenty-five minutes came, I hurriedly turned off the heat, opened the lid of the pot, the steam dissipated, and the snow-white and fluffy steamed buns with the fragrance of noodles appeared in front of me temptingly. I picked up the steamed buns out of the pot, and this time there were no dead steamed buns. In other words, as long as you follow the instructions, there is no problem.
What is puzzling is that the daughter-in-law and the neighbors prefer to make noodles a day earlier, and then add flour soda and sodaIn fact, the answer is ready-made, and they stubbornly believe that to make steamed bread, you have to make noodles one day in advance, and then add flour soda and soda, which is the right way to make steamed bread. This long-standing method has become a Xi habit, and Xi habit is something that people Xi take for granted and consciously abide by. So that no matter whether things have changed, whether the conditions have changed, we will abide by them as always.
