I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 853 - 367: Shen Baobao: Wuwuwu, I Was Bitten by a Stray Dog! State Banquet Soy Milk Recipe! [Monthly Ticket Request]_3
"This is the place, the rent is cheap, the space is spacious, and we don’t have to worry about noise because the nearby logistics point almost loads and unloads deliveries 24/7, our machine noise isn’t as loud as their loading and unloading sounds."
They parked the car by the roadside, and several people pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Upon entering, Wang Ziqiang and the others were washing dishes, seemingly after a meal.
Lin Xu curiously asked:
"Do you guys cook for yourselves?"
Wang Ziqiang smiled:
"Installation took some time today at noon, so we just cooked some noodles casually, it’s cheaper than takeout and more convenient than getting boxed meals from the shop."
Looks like they’re used to saving money.
Lin Xu said:
"Don’t skimp on food. If you’re cooking for yourselves, buy whatever pork ribs you need, only when you’re full do you have energy to work."
"We will, we will. Manager Dou often tells us to eat better. We’ve gotten used to it."
Now that the stores have increased, the amount of filling used is very large, and handmade is not very practical, so they have installed a large filling mixer here.
At the moment, there’s still some Shengjian bun filling in the mixing chamber, probably reserved for the afternoon.
Next to this equipment is a commercial soy milk machine, capable of making several hundred pounds of soy milk at a time. Various soaked grains are poured into the chamber, then enough water is added, and it can be blended.
During the blending process, it can also heat, just like a giant soy milk machine, very convenient and easy to use.
There are a total of two such soy milk machines installed, not only quickly producing hot drinks but also preventing a situation where no hot drinks are available for sale if one machine breaks down.
Inside the soy milk machine, there’s a newly adjusted large steam cabinet.
The main feature in the future will be yam juice, which needs to be steamed before use, so it’s necessary to install a steam cabinet.
Moreover, with the steam cabinet, Wang Ziqiang and the others can steam rice, noodles, buns, and mantou more conveniently, while also solving the awkward situation of workers making bun fillings all day but not getting to eat buns themselves.
In addition, there are also food washing machines and other equipment, greatly reducing workers’ workload.
"Boss, as per your instructions, we’ve soaked soybeans, rice, millet, and peanuts. Should we give it a try now?"
"Sure."
Lin Xu opened the equipment, added clean water, and washed it again, then placed the soaked soybeans, rice, millet, and peanuts in the warehouse at a ratio of 5:2:2:1.
He added a few pieces of crystal sugar and added purified water, then started the equipment.
The most important thing about this commercial hot drink is the proportions of various ingredients.
Only with proper proportions will the resulting taste be delicious.
Dou Wenjing looked mesmerized:
"I always thought the soy milk sold on the street was made just from soybeans. Didn’t expect it to have so many ingredients."
Wang Ziqiang laughed and said:
"Our boss is genuine, using real ingredients. Actually, most of the soy milk sold on the street is made with soy milk powder mixed with sweeteners and thickeners, very high-tech."
He was quite happy because Lin Xu chose not to take shortcuts but to use real ingredients.
This approach might increase the cost of the soy milk, but the taste is better and more nutritious, and combined with the fame of Ziqiang Shengjian, it wouldn’t be hard to sell.
The machine ran for a while and then stopped, and as it heated up, the scent of soy milk quickly wafted from the machine.
A few employees who had been skeptical sniffed, their eyes filled with surprise:
"I thought the soy milk made this way would be like porridge, didn’t expect the aroma to be so strong."
"Right, can’t wait to try it. If it’s good, I’ll have it every day."
"They say drinking soy milk whitens the skin. If you drink it three times a day, wouldn’t you be as white as plaster?"
"..."
As they spoke, Xie Baomin, who had been silent, suddenly said:
"Just drinking this alone won’t whiten your skin. If you want to whiten, you can add some astragalus, that’s what works."
Lin Xu was focusing on checking the equipment’s operation and didn’t pay much attention to his senior brother’s words, but Dou Wenjing was surprised and asked:
"Chef Xie, can adding astragalus really whiten the skin?"
Xie Baomin nodded:
"Yes, astragalus can also promote blood circulation and improve complexion. Drinking astragalus soy milk in autumn and winter is very good for the body. You can give it a try."
Dou Wenjing not only wanted to try it herself but also planned to add some to the soy milk for all the customers to try.
She asked Lin Xu:
"Boss, why don’t we add some astragalus to our soy milk too?"
"Sure, senior, how much astragalus should we add?"
Herbal medicines like astragalus should be used according to dosage standards for safety.
Xie Baomin said:
"Based on your previous ratio, add 5 grams of astragalus per 100 grams of dry materials, soak together, and once soaked, add the soaking water and blend altogether."
Lin Xu calculated this ratio and curiously asked:
"So the ratio for soybeans, rice, millet, peanuts, and astragalus is 50:20:20:10:5, is that correct, senior?"
"Yes."
Soon, the first batch of soy milk was finished blending.
Lin Xu took a large food bucket and placed it at the outlet, putting a medium-sized mesh strainer on top of the bucket.
He poured out all the soy milk from the chamber, and there was no residue shown on the strainer, indicating that the machine’s blades had done an excellent grinding job.
Wang Ziqiang brought the disposable cups Dou Wenjing ordered, each person got a cup to taste.
"Hey, it smells great!"
"The texture is quite good, smooth and silky."
"Indeed, this texture is really nice, a bit thicker than regular soy milk, and more delicious."
"I think this scent is outstanding, the natural aroma of the ingredients is better than any additive."
Lin Xu also found it nice, much more flavorful than soy milk powder mixed with water.
The excellent level of soy milk technique did have something to it.
Xie Baomin tasted two sips and said to Lin Xu:
"A few years ago, during a state banquet, we served a soy milk similar to this formula, but different in that, to enhance mouthfeel and aroma, we added some oats. You should try it, it might greatly improve the texture. Also, steam the soaked soybeans a bit before blending; it’ll intensify the aroma."
Is there such a trick?
Lin Xu was just about to try making another batch, when suddenly a system prompt sounded in his mind:
"Host listened to the guidance of the state banquet head chef, upgrading the excellent level [Five Grains Soy Milk] commercial technique to superior level [Astragalus Health Soy Milk], congratulations to the host."
Wow, really?
There are benefits like this?
It was indeed a good decision to call senior brother over.
Lin Xu didn’t expect such a delightful surprise.
Too bad the master wasn’t here, otherwise with both of them guiding, it could’ve upgraded to the perfect level in no time.
What a pity!
————————
The soy milk formula isn’t bad, everyone can try it at home with a soy milk maker. Adding astragalus does indeed whiten the skin, reportedly making it so white it gets greasy. This Chapter is 5200 words, asking for a monthly ticket!
