HI, everyone! I'm Masa
This time I'd like to share
a delicious
gratin dish
It's... (Japanese)
shrimp and macaroni gratin
With this recipe
I'll show you all how to make
a perfect white sauce
the steps are really easy
One technique, you can make all kinds of dishes
I'll show you the steps
one by one
With the white sauce
you can make an easy dish
Let's get started!
In the white sauce you'll need
butter, flour
and milk, these 3 ingredients
you can make a white sauce
when they're combined together
How to make a white sauce with such consistency
First, mix the flour and butter toghether
then make"roux"
which is butter-stirred flour
Basically, white sauce
we'll use both same amount
of flour and butter
As for the milk,
it depends on what consistency
of white sauce you'd like
there are thin ones and thick ones
This time
I'll use 50g of butter, 50g of flour, 500 cc of milk
you can easily control it while gratin
50g butter
Turn up to medium heat
Melt the butter
50g cake flour
Mix well
Turn to low heat
There are still some powder in the mixture, keep cooking
Turn off the heat when the mixture is bubbling
The milk is straight out from the fridge
you don't need to heat them beforehand
pour them straight into the pot
With a hot pot and hot milk
the mixture will become chunky
with a lot of particles inside
You can't make a smooth white sauce with it
So, turn off the heat first
then add all the milk and stir
until
the sauce becomes really smooth
then,
you can turn on the heat that time
500 cc of milk
Stir
Still get chunks on the bottom, make sure they're cleared
Turn up the heat when they melt in the roux
Turn up to medium heat
Don't stop stirring after the heat is on
there is flour in the milk now
without stirring
they'll stick on the bottom
then burned eventually
So, please beware!
Slow
and gently will be fine
Keep on cooking til thicken
When fully bubbling, the white sauce is thickened
Off the heat
Half tsp of salt
Because it's a sauce base, you still need to put other ingredients
Don't season a lot
Now,
I'll add macaroni to the white sauce
then add other ingredients
you like, this time i'll add prawns
they're really a perfect match!
Add salt into boiling water
80g of macaroni
cook til done
Turn up to medium heat, add some oil to a pan
About 10 peeled prawns
2 spoons of white wine
Don't cook the prawns too long, turn off the heat when the prawns turn red
About 250 cc of white sauce
Mix
Add macaroni(or rice to make a risotto)
Some brocolli
Slat and pepper
This is already
a dish to dig in
But this time
I'll make a gratin dish
Then put them in a container, add cheese on top
then bake
30g pizza cheese
Oven pre-heated to 250 degrees Celcius
Bake about 3 minutes
Or until golden
It's done!
With a nice color
Can you guys see that?
Now the tasty
shrimp and macaroni gratin is done!
I'm so glad to see this beauty
you can see the smoke...
Let's dig in!
Very...
succulent! the white sauce and the prawns
are really a perfect match
The flavor of the sauce
and the taste of the sea from the prawns
Really good!
With the sauce and the crunchy veges,
prawns, and well cooked
macaroni
They're all covered with the sauce
you can have a good, smooth taste
when you eat them
Really GOOOOOOD!
Also, you can enjoy the macaroni
without gratin, it's also great
But, if you want to add
a flavor to the dish
gratin is also fine
It's all up to you!
This recipe focuses on the white sauce
After knowing how to make a white sauce
You can fry anything you like
in a pan, then add the sauce
You can easily make a dish with the sauce
Add macaroni, or penne
or rice,
to make a risotto is also a good choice
If you're interested in this recipe
Just give it a try! Thanks for watching!
If there's still left
put them in a plate and cool it
To prevent the sauce dries out, wrap a plastic wrap outside
Or take some butter and rub it on the surface to prevent the dry out
After cooling...
Wrap it all up
Squeeze the air out
Seal
You can keep them in a freezer about 2~3 weeks
Warm it up in warm water when you need them
