A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot Chapter 403

Chapter 403 Aluminum-Free Baking Powder

After handing over the dried fruit to Zhao Jinmai, Li Yi brought over two catties of low-gluten flour.

Afterwards, he cleaned up the stainless steel table next to it, scrubbed it neatly, took the lard bowl, scooped out about a catty of lard from it, and poured it on the table.

For white chefs, the chopping board is the most important thing in making pasta.

In ancient times, the chopping board for cutting meat was called zu, that is to say, the man made the knife zu, and I made the fish zu.

"Shuowen Jiezi" records: Zu, Li Zu also, from the half of the meat on the top, side Lu Qie.

At that time, zu was a sacrificial vessel used for cutting meat. It looked like a small bench and was mainly used for cutting meat.

The case specifically refers to the table for processing grain. Although it looks similar to Zu, it is equipped with a grinding rod to grind the outer shell of the grain.

"Shuowen Jiezi Volume 7" wrote: "Case: Hehe also, from the sound of He'an, grind the ear of the grain to get the grain."

The so-called 轹 is also recorded in "Shuowen Jiezi·Volume 14": "轹: Che Suo Jian also."

Later, zu evolved into Caidun, while case became chopping board.

The white case chef has high requirements on the chopping board, and will not let others mess with it easily.

Each white chef has his own special chopping board, and it must be made of pear wood.

There is an old saying that "the willow wood pier and pear wood table, the mulberry pole does not grind the shoulders", which means that the chopping board made of pear wood is the best.

Pear wood has delicate wood, hard texture, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, insect resistance, strong durability, and a faint fragrance.

Moreover, pear wood is relatively water-resistant and not sticky.

When the white table chef is making pasta, a lot of flour and oil will fall on the chopping board. If it is a pear wood chopping board, it will be more convenient and simple to handle.

In ancient times, it was not cheap to get a pear wood desk.

But modern, stainless steel kitchen worktops can be found anywhere, and they are extremely smooth, much easier to use than pear wood chopping boards.

The method of making peach cake is very simple, and the raw materials are also very common, mainly flour, eggs, oil and sugar.

The ratio of flour, oil and sugar is about 2:1:1.

The ratio of eggs to flour is 1:10, that is, one catty of flour with one or two eggs.

Different from making [Fresh Meat Mooncakes], Li Yi first mixed lard and sugar, and beat them into a sugar paste by hand.

Following that, he took 10 grams of baking powder, put it into the flour, stirred it evenly, and then poured it on the sugar paste.

Seeing the name marked on the bag of baking powder that Li Yi took out, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help asking: "This kind of baking powder doesn't seem to be edible, right?"

In the live broadcast room, after the audience saw the name of the baking powder, they also posted bullet screens and raised doubts.

"Brother Yi, why do you use baking powder? Is this stuff unhealthy?"

"Didn't you say that eating too much baking powder is prone to Alzheimer's disease?"

"This stuff is not fun to eat!"

"Brother Yi, brother Yi! I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to rebel! You are using technology and hard work!"

Seeing the audience's doubts and complaints, Li Yi explained with a smile: "I use aluminum-free baking powder here, which is very safe.

The kind of baking powder that contains aluminum is harmful to the body. "

"Is there a difference?"

Huang Xiaoming asked puzzledly.

"Of course there is a difference."

Li Yi used a scraper to mix the flour while explaining: "Baking powder is actually a kind of alkaline soda powder mixed with acidic substances and filled with starch.

It mainly uses acid-base reaction to release carbon dioxide and form air bubbles in the ingredients to achieve a fluffy effect.

The previous technology is in place, and in order to save costs, some manufacturers will use alum-like substances as acidic substances to make baking powder.

Alum contains aluminum, which will indeed cause damage to the human body.

In the past, some fried dough sticks shops used this aluminum-containing baking powder as an additive to make the fried dough sticks more fluffy.

Later, it was reported by the media, and after it spread, it became a rumor that eating fried dough sticks would make you stupid. "

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhao Jinmai nodded again and again: "My mother often tells me to tell me not to eat fried dough sticks when I eat out, and I will become stupid."

Huang Xiaoming also laughed and said: "I also heard people say that deep-fried dough sticks are kneaded with washing powder. It should be a rumor."

"Of course, with washing powder and noodles, a fool can eat them. How is that possible?"

Li Yi laughed and said, "That's a rumor spread by people who don't know about baking powder."

Wu Lei was listening, and asked curiously: "Then this baking powder won't make you stupid?"

"It's aluminum-free baking powder, and it's still pretty safe."

Li Yi explained: "The baking powder containing aluminum, mainly alum, is not safe.

Now this aluminum-free baking powder has replaced acidic substances with citric acid, glucono-δ-lactone, and some phosphates, such as disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, calcium dihydrogen phosphate, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate etc.

These sour agents are harmless to the human body, and contain nutrients such as phosphorus and calcium, which are beneficial to human health. "

"ah?"

Zhao Jinmai asked in surprise: "According to what you said, is this baking powder good for the human body?"

"There are certain benefits, but you can't eat too much!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Baking powder will release carbon dioxide when it dissolves in water. If you eat too much, it will release gas in your stomach. Naturally, your body will also automatically exhaust gas, so..."

He didn't continue to explain, but everyone understood what he meant.

"Hi~!"

Wu Lei hiccupped.

"Hmm!"

Zhao Jinmai fanned the wind in disgust.

"Hey what? This is called rising of clear air."

Wu Lei glanced at her, then suddenly put his hands down, and growled in a low voice: "The turbidity is falling!"

"ah!"

Zhao Jinmai screamed and hid behind Liu Yifei, pulled her back, and shouted: "Wu Lei! If you dare to fart, you will die!"

"snort!"

Wu Lei smiled triumphantly and curled his lips: "Scared you to death."

Looking at their quarrel, Li Yi shook his head helplessly, then wrapped the reconciled dough with plastic wrap, put it aside and woke up.

Here the dough of peach crisp is reconciled, and the water oil noodles of [Fresh Meat Mooncake] is also reconstituted.

Li Yi took out the water and oil noodles, and the dough had become sticky again.

Li Yi was not surprised. He kneaded the water and oil surface again to make its surface smooth, then wrapped it in plastic wrap again, and woke up for another ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the water oil surface has completely woken up.

Li Yi took it out, flattened one side, and gently pulled it with his hands, the water and oil surface stretched out, like rubber, very thin.

"It's fine to this extent."

Li Yi showed it to the camera, and kneaded it together again.

Following, he took the dry pastry and kneaded it again, so that the whole ball of dry pastry was kneaded thoroughly.

Afterwards, he put the dry pastry and water oil noodles together, and said to the camera: "Next, we are going to open the pastry."
