Chapter 651 Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce
The only thing he should eat on his birthday was cake and longevity noodles, which had auspicious meanings. After Huo Chenhuan left, Su Yayan rushed into the kitchen and turned on the one-way recording function of the livestream broadcast.
“Hello everyone, I’m the host, Little Yanyan. Today is my husband’s birthday, and I want to prepare a special surprise for him, so I will only record the screen today and not livestream it. In addition, this recording will be released at a fixed time. After it is released, three lucky viewers will draw small gifts from the comment section. The lucky draw date will be 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. Those interested viewers can participate enthusiastically.”
Although Su Yayan did not start the livestream, she still tried her best to explain the whole story.
The difficult part of making a cake was how to make the cake rise evenly. Su Yayan had used gluten-free flour and added eggs to the batter before beating it.
Su Yayan wanted to make a three-tier cake, so she decided to use three molds to make them.
Fortunately, the Cheng Family’s oven was big enough, and it was not difficult to bake three cakes at once.
While she was baking the cake, Su Yayan was busy preparing other dishes. “Now, I’ll make the wife cake that I promised you before. The stuffing of the wife cake is winter melon. As the name suggests, the filling is made from winter melon. Peel the winter melon skin and season it with the seeds. Then, use the blender to turn it into a paste. After that, filter the water and add sugar to stir-fry it. After stir-frying it, you can cook it and let it cool. In order to make the stuffing more fragrant, you can also add some melon seeds and sesame seeds when cooking.”
Su Yayan had already steamed the winter melon when she was making the base of the cake. It was just right for her to stir it now.
After preparing the stuffing as quickly as possible, it was time to wrap the skin outside.
In order to make the skin of the wife cake crisp and chewable, two different kinds of dough had to be made. One was called oil heart, and the other was called water skin.
After wrapping the oil core with the skin, she pressed it flat. Then, she rolled the dough into the shape of a spring roll. After that, she pressed it flat and folded it into three layers. Finally, she rolled the dough into the dough skin and wrapped the stuffing like rolling out dumplings. Finally, she added a layer of egg yolk on top of the wrapped pie and sprinkled sesame seeds on it to ensure that the pie made was more beautiful and appetizing.
It was indeed a little troublesome to cook it, but it was precisely because it was troublesome that the texture of the crispy skin inside would overlap after it was done roasting.
Su Yayan made dozens of wife cakes and placed them into the oven. She wiped her hands and smiled. “I made some Yuxiang Shredded Pork earlier. Many of my friends in the audience asked me if I had any dishes like this. Since everyone has asked, I’ll make a few more options today.”
“First of all, the name of the first dish is called Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce. This dish is amazing. From the name, you can tell what it is. Its ingredients contain sliced beef, ox tongue and chili sauce.”
The Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce was actually a cold dish. First, she braised these ingredients and cut them into slices. Then, she added a series of seasonings, stirred them, and arranged them on a plate. Su Yayan’s knife skills were rather effective in making this dish. The thickness of the ingredients was uniform, and it looked especially beautiful when placed on the plate. In addition, this dish was tender, fresh, spicy, and fragrant. It was exactly Huo Chenhuan’s favorite flavor, so it was likely that she would be able to win the favor of this birthday boy.
