234 – Combinations With Filling Foods
-Tuk, knock… !
The white dough, like clay, is roughly torn by my hands.
ㅡTribute, tribute!
ㅡTumbling and rolling… !
The dough that has been roughly removed rolls across the palm of one’s hand. Only until a certain prototype is achieved.
The size of the dough was divided into two types.
One the size of a palm and one half that size.
I twirled these on the cutting board again.
The dough comes together between the cutting board and my palm. As it does so, it naturally takes shape. Continue until it is formed into a flawless, perfect sphere.
As I touched the dough like this,
It reminds me of the songpyeon I made on holidays.
If I get the chance, I’ll have some glutinous rice,
I don’t think it would be impossible to really try steaming rice cake.
“Hehe, this is enough, right? I have to unfold it again anyway…”
As I keep kneading the dough, before I know it, the tray is filled with round dough.
When I leave it like this, it looks like mochi rice cake.
With sweet bean paste inside…
But this is just the beginning.
Because it wasn’t meant to be cooked like this.
What I’m making now isn’t mochi rice cake,
This also needed a stomach.
And to fill it…
ㅡDrurruk… !
I immediately took out a long, thick wooden rolling pin from the drawer. In order to spread the dough into a uniform shape.
There was a separate reason for painfully shaping the dough into balls one by one. If you don’t do this, it’s difficult to get a neat circular shape.
Of course, you could roll out a wide, flat piece of dough into a circle, but I didn’t need that much right now. And if you make it yourself, it feels stickier later.
ㅡSsuk ssuk… !
-Doreuk, doreuk… !
The dough is spread on a rolling pin and flattened, creating a neat circular shape.
In this process, push it several times,
It is important to create a consistent thickness.
If the size was jagged, it would have looked really bad.
‘It really takes a lot of work to make the dough yourself…’
I thought it was the dough I always made,
I simply pushed it with a push pin,
This took a lot more time and effort than I thought.
Still, there is nothing wrong with putting in sincerity.
It’s just a series of processes that are annoying,
My body wasn’t tired at all.
I’m sure my body has improved, right?
It’s been like that since long time ago,
I can feel the increase in physical strength directly.
If it were like before, I would have done it in moderation because I was tired…
Currently, after lunch time, I have been moving my body continuously without any break.
Of course, if I wanted to, I could have left all of this troublesome process to the ghosts…
ㅡChewy, Chewy… !
‘But you can’t ignore the taste of your hand!’
Look at this. The stickiness of the dough can be felt through a rolling pin.
It feels like the dough is pushing the rolling pin every time it passes.
The elasticity was better than I expected, so I had to push it several times to get the thickness I wanted.
ㅡChop, chop, chop… !
I gradually piled up the round dough.
Just as I divided the dough into two sizes earlier, I intentionally divided the thickness into two types so that they had different thicknesses.
For taller dough, make it thicker.
On the other hand, dough that is half that size is thin.
If you cook them, they will taste different.
The thick dough will have a fluffy chew, and the thin dough will have a chewy texture.
“Okay, let’s leave this aside…”
ㅡSolsolsol… !
I sprinkled a little salt and pepper on the pork that I had chopped with a knife earlier. And finally, after adding a little soy sauce, I chopped onions and green onions and mixed them with the meat.
A quick-witted person would have noticed it already.
Yes, this was the dumpling filling that went into the dough.
In addition to the ingredients I prepared, I could have added numerous other ingredients to the dumplings, such as tofu, glass noodles, cabbage, bean sprouts, and chives, but I deliberately limited the filling ingredients to the minimum.
Of course, if you put various things inside, you can definitely feel various textures and tastes, but I didn’t particularly prefer that taste.
Rather, it was thought that these things spoiled the taste of the meat, which is the core of the dumpling filling.
It’s much better if the juice flows out when you take a big bite.
I ate it thinking it was meat dumplings,
If half of it is tofu, the feeling of betrayal is no joke.
I didn’t want to feel that way.
And some of these are especially for Leylin…
ㅡSolsolsol… !
-Growl!
Red paprika powder and the last remaining flower extract were added generously. Even though I didn’t put in that much, there’s already a dangerous red glow.
“Cold, cold… !”
This… Just smelling it from afar makes me cough.
The tip of the nose feels raw and stinging.
The spicy flavor is just for Leylin.
If someone else ate it, their stomach would turn upside down.
Still, since the name is Hwaryong, wouldn’t this be satisfactory?
Although the taste of the ingredients was the most important,
Personal preference could not be ignored.
Of course, I planned to reflect Seirin’s tastes as well.
‘Wouldn’t a water dragon probably like this one more?’
ㅡChideokchideok… !
After I finished all the pork filling,
I even finished the thing next to it.
This means the shrimp, octopus, and squid that were chopped earlier.
Here too, I added some seasoning and mixed the ingredients well. The plan was to make it like dim sum, not dumplings.
Now all we have to do is make it look good.
This time too, I had to touch it with my own hands.
It looks neat and appetizing to anyone.
ㅡSqueak, Squeeze, Squeeze… !
Place a spoonful of filling on top of the dough,
Just moisten the edge with water and fold it well.
Actually, I wasn’t confident in how to shape dumplings.
How many times in your life will you ever make your own dumplings?
“But this… “It’s going a lot better than I thought, right?”
Was it because of S rank skill correction?
The hand dumplings are made very neatly.
From shapes with towering tips like flower buds to sharp edges like a crown.
This is not just knife skills,
It seems like my hand movements have become more precise in many ways.
Should I say that a different side of me appeared unconsciously?
-Rattle!
‘By the way, all I have to do now is steam it, right?’
There was no time to admire myself.
There is still a long way to go before the food is finished.
So she had to keep busy.
Of course, this wasn’t all I had prepared.
There was still one more thing left to make.
ㅡBubble bubble… !
“Black Dragon, did you include everything I asked you to put in?”
「Nyorurung-!!!」
Heukryong nods her head as she lifts the lid of the pot.
“Oh, the broth was cooked well in less time than expected?”
Clear broth is boiling inside the pot.
A soup made with clams, anchovies, and radish.
The cool scent of seafood fills your nose.
ㅡChrrrr… !
I poured the rest of the vegetables into this broth.
Basic onion, garlic, green onion.
And even zucchini and long carrots.
These were just ingredients for color.
ㅡEight eight eight… !
After it boiled over again…
ㅡSnap, slap… !
Instead of putting them in the steamer, I soaked the dumplings separately. To cook in broth.
And this wasn’t the end.
ㅡPondant! Fondant… !
Make the dumpling skin earlier and pat the leftover dough into a thin layer! I took it off and threw it into the boiling soup. I didn’t care about the shape, like I was tearing up a piece of paper.
Then, thin, rough lumps of flour float to the top, absorbing the soup.
Even though it is shiny on the outside, it looks chewy even at a glance.
“Wow, how long has it been since I tried this Korean food? “I made this, but it makes my mouth water.”
As the dumplings and the loosely scooped flour dough cook, a familiar visual is completed.
ㅡTiring!
[Cool Sujebi Dumpling Soup – ✮★]
[The vegetable juice added to the seafood-based broth gives it a refreshing taste. Once you taste the chewy texture of sujebi, you won’t be able to get over it until you finish the bowl. In addition, different types of dumplings are added to provide a variety of tastes.]
[Due to the S-Rank Gourmet’s feeding effect, random stats are given to dishes of 5 stars or higher.]
It was like that. What I made is sujebi dumpling soup.
One more thing prepared in case you are not satisfied with just dumplings.
The dumplings were made in reference to Seirin’s wish to eat food with a filling.
‘By the way, now I give it at least 5 and a half stars. It’s already 6 stars… If I had boiled this with kimchi, it would have gotten 7 stars?’
Well, it’s a shame there’s no kimchi.
Side dishes are essential for soups.
It goes especially well with spicy and spicy flavors like kimchi.
Because the refreshing taste of kimchi played a role in stimulating the appetite.
“… I think I can somehow make it now, right? Even if I can’t make perfect kimchi, I think I can imitate it well enough.”
Let’s give it a try.
There may still be time.
And above all, it was an environment well-equipped with most materials.
ㅡLegally… !
While I was leaving it like that, it was the moment I picked up the kitchen knife to make the side dishes.
ㅡTiring!
