Free Web NovelChapter 579: Chapter 499: One Rotten Apple Spoils the Whole Barrel (Part 3)
Especially the creations from the younger kids, really left one both crying and laughing, and using "too awful to bear" to describe them is not an exaggeration.
They even had the originality to add "limbs" to these pan-fried dumplings, but as for what the end result actually looked like, I’m afraid even the most imaginative artist would struggle to recognize...
However, upon further thought, Huang Jun gradually realized...
Locally, it’s rare for parents to roll out dumpling skins themselves; they usually just buy them directly from the market, skipping the tedious process of making the dough by hand, and move straight to stuffing the fillings.
The kids rarely volunteer eagerly, willing to help make dumplings, and this enthusiasm and passion itself is already satisfying enough.
They might have clumsy techniques, resulting in dumplings of various shapes, but this doesn’t stop parents from feeling full of happiness and joy from them.
In the eyes of parents, every attempt and effort by their children is precious, and they are naturally generous in offering their sincerest praise and encouragement.
Therefore,
The kids claiming that their dumplings received exaggerated praise from their parents is actually not an exaggeration at all.
It’s just that Huang Jun was indeed a bit careless this time, not expecting the situation to be like this, but this also added some unexpected fun and warmth to this lesson.
The teachers and leaders on the side, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but feel "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch."
Now.
This damned worry attacked them again, making a touch of concern appear on their hearts.
But what can be done about it?
They had no choice but to smile awkwardly, hoping Huang Jun could turn things around and create a miracle...
A trace of worry appeared on Liu Suyu’s face, as she looked anxiously at Huang Jun and softly asked, "Chef Huang, are these dumplings made by the kids really okay?"
Huang Jun sighed, then a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he reassured her, "Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem. Look, how creative these kids are! The key to pan-fried dumplings is cooking them, unlike regular dumplings that need to be boiled. If wrapped poorly, it’s basically a case where the skin and filling separate. Besides, I supervised the filling preparation from start to finish, so at least the taste is guaranteed not to be too bad. Judging from the kids’ performance today, they’ve done extremely well."
Hearing Huang Jun’s words, Liu Suyu’s worry eased a bit, and she didn’t say anything more.
Huang Jun turned to the children and enthusiastically announced, "Alright, kids, next up is the pan-frying session we’ve all been waiting for! Please remember to adjust the temperature to around 200 degrees, and first brush a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pan to preheat it. Once the pan is hot, gently arrange those cute little pan-fried dumplings neatly in the pan. When their bottoms gradually turn a tempting golden color, it’s time for the secret weapon—broth water to make its appearance! Remember, the amount of broth water should be just right, enough to cover one-third to half of the dumplings for the best taste. But most importantly, kids need to be careful during the process, and don’t let hot oil splash on you."
With Huang Jun’s command, the children immediately sprang into action with excitement.
The other teachers and school leaders also quickly joined in, helping out to watch over and prevent the children from getting burned.
After seeing the kids have safely placed the dumplings in the pan, Huang Jun nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Now, please cover the pan with a lid. Remember, when the broth water heats up, it will turn into steam, making the dumpling skin soft and the filling more delicious. Just patiently wait for 6 to 8 minutes, and the pan-fried dumplings you made will emit a rich aroma, becoming fragrant and tender. Again, safety first, and enjoy the cooking process!"
Upon hearing this, the kids carefully covered the pan with lids and waited patiently for the moment the pan-fried dumplings would be ready...
