Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Just Take a Look
Zhao Gushen thought sneakily to himself.
Ye Fei had prepared the ingredients for the custard mooncakes early on.
The custard mooncakes are divided into three parts.
The crust, the custard filling, and the molten center.
The raw salted egg yolks are steamed and mashed, mixed with milk powder, cheese, fine sugar, and fresh cream, then heated in a microwave to melt and stirred until smooth, then sieved to ensure the molten center filling has no grainy texture. Wrapped in plastic wrap, it is then placed in the freezer. This part is for the molten center.
Then, beat the eggs and add low-gluten flour, then put in the crushed salted egg yolks.
Boil the butter and margarine together, then slowly pour into the mixed salted egg yolk batter, add cheese, fine sugar, and milk powder, after mixing, put it into a frying pan, heating over low heat while continuing to stir.
Until it is mixed into a thick dough-like consistency, with no grains, then it can be refrigerated.
After that, you can start making the crust.
After whipping the softened butter, add honey and condensed milk, stir well, then add cornstarch and low-gluten flour to make a dough and set it aside.
While the molten center filling and custard filling are still freezing, Ye Fei made coconut matcha snow skin mooncakes in the meantime.
Coconut matcha snow skin mooncakes are much simpler and very quick to make.
The whole process just requires steaming, steam the snow skin and filling separately, then wrap the filling, press it into shape with a mold and refrigerate it to finish.
All of these steps were filmed as well.
Ye Fei thought, later she could make them into two videos.
Then she would become a prolific food blogger.
After the coconut matcha snow skin mooncakes were done, the molten center filling and custard filling were almost frozen.
Ye Fei took them out and cut them into equal portions.
Wrap the molten center filling inside the custard filling, then wrap them with the snow skin, roll into balls, and press into shape with a mold.
Once solidified in the freezer, put them in the oven.
Brush the surface with egg yolk wash in the middle.
Even Ye Fei let out a tired sigh after finishing all this.
"I think your fans will just watch. It’s actually quite challenging to make," Zhao Gushen said, finding it difficult just by looking.
Seeing how hard it was, he didn’t even want to try.
Of course, it’s because he didn’t know anything about cooking in the first place.
Ye Fei’s fans who are interested in cooking might want to try a high-difficulty challenge.
"Isn’t this just to fit the occasion? It’s just in time for the holidays," Ye Fei explained, "Besides, if you always make simple and quick dishes, after a while it gets aesthetically tiresome. Trying something a bit more complex, it’s quite fulfilling when you have nothing else to do at home."
Ye Fei said this as she tidied everything up.
Aunt Guo was also there.
She had come over as usual today to clean.
Aunt Guo doesn’t live in, though she doesn’t take holidays, she just comes over to work and clean for about three hours a day before leaving.
Aunt Guo tidied up the kitchen, which was a bit messy because of making the mooncakes.
Ye Fei couldn’t help but marvel at how luxurious her life was now.
She used to do all the cleaning herself.
But now, she only had to focus on the cooking.
All the cleanup work was handed over to Aunt Guo.
She didn’t need to do any of the tiring work.
If she got used to doing nothing, would she become useless in the future?
Aunt Guo left after cleaning up.
Ye Fei told her to quickly go home to celebrate the holiday.
For lunch, Ye Fei simply cooked three plates of meat sauce spaghetti, served with cream mushroom soup.
After finishing lunch, Ye Fei and Xiao Mo hurried to tidy themselves up.
