"Brother, we don't have yeast."

Back at the temporary kitchen, Bai Bingyang and Fatty Wang whispered.

In their perception, without yeast, rice cakes cannot be made.

"Who said I'm going to use yeast?"

Xu Lai kept it a secret.

Speaking of which, this is also a misunderstanding of thinking.

If there is flour but no yeast, most people will feel that they can't continue to do it first.

But in fact, it is OK.

There is no need to argue about this matter.

It can be done in just one sentence.

Before yeast was discovered, wouldn’t humans eat pasta?

The answer is obvious.

The main function of yeast is to make the noodles made of fluffy and more flavorful, so that the pasta produced has good effect and good taste.

Keywords [Fluffy].

So is there a kind of rice cake that does not require a fluffy texture?

If others answer this question, they may say nothing.

But for Xu Lai, the answer is!

"Look at it, don't blink!"

Take a basin, grab a handful of rice noodles, pour in clean water, and stir in one direction with chopsticks.

Don’t add too much water, because too much will turn into rice paste.

After the rice noodles absorbed water and condensed into small particles one by one, Xu Lai stopped stirring.

After gently buckling the basin twice and confirming that the rice flour in the basin has condensed into particles, Xu Lai performed the next step.

Wash your hands and use your fingers to crush all the rice flour particles in the basin.

The large rice balls turned into tiny pieces, which piled together with a texture of snowflakes.

Fatty Wang and Bai Bingyang widened their eyes and were focused, afraid of missing a detail.

"This step must be done with a sieve to filter it, so that the taste will be more delicate."

"But today we have limited conditions, so we can only skip this step."

"Of course, if you rub your fingers a few more times, the effect will not be too bad."

Xu Lai explained to the two.

I brought three more small bowls.

"Put one-third of the rice noodles first, remember not to press."

“Doing this is to prevent the bottom from being too strong.”

"Just like sprinkling salt, sprinkle it into a bowl and spread it gently."

Xu Lai used a small spoon to sprinkle the processed rice flour in the bowl on the bottom of the bowl.

After about one-third of it was spread, he took out red sugar and spread an even layer on the rice noodles.

"Brown sugar doesn't need to be pressed, this is also a key point."

Later, on top of brown sugar, he spread a layer of rice flour again.

At this point, a [pastry] with rice noodles and brown sugar is ready.

"The next step is very simple."

"Still steam it in the pot!"

"At the current temperature, it will take about fifteen minutes."

After testing the water temperature with his hands, Xu said.

After saying that, Xu Lai directly covered the lid of the steamer.

"ah?"

"Is it that simple?"

The two of them were watching it very excitedly, but suddenly they found that Xu Lai was finished.

In just a few steps, can you make rice cakes?

"What about that?"

Xu Lai asked back.

Speaking of which, this delicacy has also been lost on Blue Star.

This is the conclusion he just got from the original owner's memory.

At first, he was quite surprised.

Because the process of making this delicacy is really too simple.

Even if you are not a professional chef, you can do a good job.

But after careful analysis, Xu Lai felt that this matter was very reasonable.

The key lies in yeast.

The appearance of yeast has greatly improved the taste of pasta.

But everything has two sides.

I don’t know when it started, it was fluffy and soft, and it became one of the criteria for judging the quality of a pasta dish (especially pastry and bread).

This view may seem very reasonable at first glance, but in essence, it is tantamount to a one-size-fits-all approach, which has killed many people's creativity in food in disguise.

The stuff in the steamer in front of me is one of them.

...

Twenty minutes later, Xu Lai returned to the middle of the crowd again.

He placed three small bowls in front of the little girl.

This steamer is not big, and three small bowls are already the limit.

"It smells so good (●''??''●)"

The little girl rubbed her hands and looked straight at the food in front of her.

Three white [rice cakes] are inlaid in three small bowls.

But this [rice cake] is a bit different from what everyone has seen before.

First of all, its appearance is not smooth, and you can clearly see a lot of graininess with the naked eye.

In the words of cultural relics, it is "Muma Lai, not round at all."

In addition, the [rice cake] in front of me seems to have no moisture.

It gives people a feeling of a ball of white laundry detergent piled together.

“Try it.”

"The bowl and rice cake are very hot, so I just dig it with a spoon."

"Eat small bites, don't hurry."

Xu Lai handed over a small spoon.

"Thank you, Brother Yu! (?????`??).."

The little girl was very obedient. She took the spoon, scooped a small spoon, put it next to her mouth and blew it for a while, then she carefully put it into her mouth.

(????ˇ??ˇ????)

“Super super delicious!!!”

Just after taking a bite, the little girl immediately gave her a thumbs up.

The little tongue kept licking her lips, as if she didn't want to waste anything.

Xu Lai was amused.

Primary school students have limited vocabulary, and in their world, words like [super] are exclusive terms for describing beautiful things.

One [Super] means it’s very good, but she said three supers in a row.

This proves that the [rice cake] I made myself really suits the other party’s taste.

In fact, this rice cake that looks "not round at all" is a delicacy in Hubei.
