Hello everyone, I am the first gourmet Ah Fei, pay attention to Ah Fei has more home cooking for your reference!
It is said that the source of the mille-feuille meat cake is also related to Xuanzang's Western Heavenly Scriptures. According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, in order to thank Xuanzang for returning from the Western Regions, the people came to pay homage to various foods that symbolized a thousand scrolls of Buddhist scriptures, and later these foods were improved by the imperial kitchen and passed back to the folk, becoming today's thousand-layer meat cakes.
Since the mille-feuille meatloaf and the thousand scrolls of Buddhist scriptures are inextricably linked, the mille-feuille meatloaf we make today is closely related to the word "roll". Different from the traditional rolling and folding, we do not have to knead the dough and wrap the meat filling with the method of rolling, the layers are clear, the outside is crisp and tender, the oil is not greasy, the paper-thin dough skin, wrapped in a ball of meat filling, especially when it is about to come out, the fragrance is overflowing, people can't help but salivate, and the index finger is moving.
【Crispy Meatloaf】
Step 1: And noodles
First of all, we put 400 grams of flour in the basin, add 3 grams of salt to increase the gluten, use 220 ml of warm water and noodles, stir while pouring, stir until there is no dry flour, knead the dough into a softer dough, cover the sealed dough with a plate for 20 minutes, the longer the dumplings, the better the ductility of the noodles.
Step 2: Mix the filling
Prepare 500 grams of pork, first cut into thin slices and then chop into minced meat, a piece of ginger cut into minced ginger and meat stuffing together. Wash a handful of shallots, break them open and cut into chopped green onions for later. Add 5 grams of cooking wine to the meat filling, 10 grams of light soy sauce, 3 grams of dark soy sauce, 2 grams of salt, and stir in one direction until the meat filling is strong, so that the meatloaf filling is not easy to loosen. Finally, pour in the chopped green onion and mix well again.
Step 3: Blank making
The dough is very soft, we take the dough out, do not knead the dough directly into long strips, knead the dough, the dough is easy to ribbed and not easy to roll out. Then, under the uniform size of the dough, we gently kneaded the dough, arranged into a round dough blank covered with a fine cloth to prevent the moisture loss of the dough blank and the skin from drying.
Flatten the dough, roll it out in all directions, roll out into a 3 mm thick dough cake, do not roll too thin, and avoid running the filling after wrapping the filling. Cut a radius on the dough cake, put the prepared meat filling to smooth it out, roll up from one end and wrap the meat filling, pinch the edge tightly, put it in the palm of your hand and flatten it, and the raw blank of the meatloaf is ready.
Step 4: Branding
Start the pot on low heat, brush the oil evenly, press the raw blank to a thinner, we can see that the cake blank is very soft, ductile, even if it is thin to transparent, it will not reveal the filling.
When the oil temperature is 50% hot, put the cake blank into the pot, brush the oil evenly on the crust, lock the moisture inside the cake, and then cover the pot lid for 1 minute to make the inside of the cake cook faster. After 1 minute, we turn the cake over, at this time the bottom of the cake is already fixed, yellowish, turned over and then burned for another 1 minute, the other side is also burned yellow.
Keep the whole process on low heat and turn the noodles frequently, bake for about 5 minutes, burn both sides of the cake to a golden brown, the skin is crispy, and the press can quickly rebound when it is ready to come out of the pan.
Ah Fei had something to say:
This cake must be baked over low heat and turned over frequently, because the cake is thicker and the crust is thinner, so that the cake can be cooked thoroughly and will not be baked.
The finished cake is thin and rich, the meat filling is tight and clumpy, the skin is crispy, the inside is soft, and the golden brown puff pastry is very attractive. Friends who like it hurry up and try it.
