Jiang Xu's dough is completely different from the description in the recipe, so it cannot be a good product. How can we continue to make it by force? That's okay too.

But the final texture will definitely not be as soft and glutinous as the dough you feel in the recipe.

Jiang Xu frowned. The key to getting started with cooking skills is precision.

It not only refers to the knife skills when cutting vegetables, but also refers to the fact that most people cannot control the ingredients and recipes as they wish, so they must follow the recipe structure accurately.

Both require a steady hand.

Therefore, while improving proficiency, it also improved the stability and perception of Jiang Xu's hands.

While raising his head to think, Jiang Xu glanced at Qingye, wanting to see how far she had come.

Aoba also came to the step of kneading the dough.

In fact, the difference between steamed buns and dumplings is the dough.

The reason why the dough is different lies in this yeast.

The bun wrappers with yeast added are living noodles, while the dumpling wrappers without yeast are dead noodles.

However, these differences will only be reflected in the subsequent fermentation process.

For now, there is basically no difference between the two doughs, but if you look closely, Aoye's dough is still better than Jiang Xu's, barely reaching the level of 'cleansing'.

Judging from the information just obtained from the recipe, the dough can be roughly divided into four levels, clean surface, smooth surface, fluorescent surface, and jade surface.

The dough in the recipe has reached a smooth surface. The surface of the dough is so white that it seems to reflect light, and it looks extremely round and smooth.

At the end of the kneading, the dough is not even reflecting light, but it is emitting a slight gleam of light.

If you knead it into a shape and look at it, it doesn't look like food at all, but more like a handmade craft.

At first glance, the surface of the dough kneaded by Jiang Xu seemed smooth, but upon comparison, it turned into a lump.

Not to mention reaching the level of 'glossy', it is not even qualified for the most basic 'cleansing'.

'Sure enough it won't be that simple. '

Jiang Xu stared at the dough he kneaded and kept thinking in his mind.

He didn't expect his face to be shiny or even glossy all at once, but at the very least he had to clean it.

Steamed buns and dumplings are all pasta, and most of the effort is reflected in the outer dough.

The dough is also the first to be eaten, giving it a head start. The quality and taste will directly determine the lower limit of this delicacy.

The so-called cleansing means that the dough is clean, even on the inside and outside, and the source of chaos is integrated.

Smooth surface is not enough, the inside of the dough must also be uniform without any lumps.

Although Jiang Xu was the master in the taste recipe and imitated his dough kneading skills, the learning time was too short after all, and he had never had any experience in making noodles before.

It's already pretty good to be able to imitate it after just one look.

However, it is still not as good as Qingye on the side.

Born into a family of chefs, she has been very familiar with pastry making since she was a child.

Not only the most basic steamed buns, dumplings, and steamed buns, but also more difficult pastries, pasta, cakes, Western breads, and cakes, she is also involved.

Kneading dough is not about precision, but skill and adaptability to the dough.

This kind of thing cannot be taught in a short period of time. The average pastry apprentice needs to learn it for at least three to five months to lay a good foundation.

Fortunately, Jiang Xu had a plug-in, so he could experience firsthand the details of the dough-making process of a highly skilled chef.

Unfortunately, it’s only a fragment, and it’s very short.

Jiang Xu probably understood that the recipe was meant to serve as a reminder.

People who have reached this level can understand most of the key points after just one look and experience.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xu knew nothing about pastries before and underestimated the real difficulty of making pastries.

If you just want to make a shape that can be imported, then it couldn't be simpler.

A person who has never been exposed to cooking can simply learn to knead the dough, adjust the stuffing, and wrap it up, and he is done.

But it is very difficult to be proficient and achieve the ultimate.

There are many chefs who have been focusing on one skill for ten years, but they dare not say that what they make is perfect.

However, there is no need to make it perfect now. Jiang Xu glanced at Qingye's dough again, it just needs to be better than hers.

Jiang Xu doesn't want to think that he will do it after just reading it once. He just needs to follow the recipe as he felt. It is extremely precise and uses the same force to knead the dough almost every time. Although it is still not the same as in the recipe, the surface is like Excellent reflective dough.

But cleansing is absolutely no problem.

On the other side, Aoba has already started mixing the fillings.

Originally, when she saw the dough kneaded by Jiang Xu, she thought that she was safe today.

But gradually, she discovered that Jiang Xu seemed to be a little strange.

It was obvious that the kneading was done before, but now it is still kneading, and it will pause for a while, as if it is distracted.

After each pause for a few seconds, he would come back to his senses and continue kneading the dough.

After thinking for a while, Qingye decided to explore the enemy's situation, otherwise he would always feel bad.

There seemed to be times before when Jiang Xu was completely unfamiliar with him at first, and she was deceived by his illusion, thinking that he really didn't know how to do it.

But the food that comes out in the end is always a little better than mine, really only a little better.

Qingye always suspected that Jiang Xu did it on purpose.

So, when Jiang Xu proposed the food halberd yesterday, she agreed immediately.

Because, in the Shoji, no matter whether it is big or small, the chef will use all his strength to cook it.

Hiding one's strength in the Shokoku is disrespectful to the opponent and the judge, and it is also a sign of laziness towards one's own abilities.

However, in Shokugeki, spying on your opponent is also illegal.

Therefore, Qingye walked up to Jiang Xu openly.

"What seasoning do you want? I'll go in and bring it out together."

"Well, just normal salt, sugar, pepper, chicken essence, and oyster sauce. No special seasoning is needed."

Jiang Xu stopped kneading the dough, raised his head and said with a smile.

"Okay." Qingye nodded, and his peripheral vision quickly swept across the basin in front of Jiang Xu.

It's a very ordinary dough. Although the surface is very smooth, the overall look is very smooth.

An average housewife can achieve this level and earn praise from other housewives, but she does not reach the professional threshold at all.

It seems that Jiang Xu is really not good at pastry.

But it's not surprising that even a professional chef can't be good at all kinds of cooking. At most, it only involves understanding and learning.

After all, human energy is limited.

Today's food halberd is stable!

Turning around and walking towards the kitchen, Aoye smiled slightly and walked a little briskly.

Jiang Xu looked at her back and felt a little strange. Why was he so happy to get some condiments?

Turning back and looking at the dough in the basin, Jiang Xu nodded.

You are almost done practicing, and you can officially start.

After weighing the flour and water again, Jiang Xu kneaded out a dough and waited for ten minutes before dishing it out.

Qingye, who came out of the kitchen carrying a condiment bottle, saw Jiang Xu cleaning the vermicelli and couldn't help but nodded again.

Well, good, it seems that your dough is definitely worse than mine.

But don’t worry, after the meal is over, I will mercifully tell you the correct way to make noodles.

Recalling Jiang Xu's confused expression after eating the dumplings and steamed buns, Qingye couldn't help but smile again.

'Why is this girl so happy today? Do you like dumplings very much? '

Jiang Xu shook his head, unable to understand the thoughts of a fifteen-year-old, well, soon to be sixteen-year-old girl.
