Onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, leeks and even celery are a relatively special category.
For some people, these things are their favorites, while for some people, these things are "anti-human". Love and disgust are simply polar opposites. Well, this is what Xu Guangling has learned from
I learned about it from Mr. Jia, and it was while having barbecue in Yuxi a few nights ago.
At that time, grilled leeks were available at the barbecue stalls, so Jiagongzi, a food lover and several food column writers, popularized it for two outsiders, Dasha and Xu Guangling.
Xu Guangling has no special love for these things, nor does he have any special dislike for them. He can be regarded as a rare "peaceful person".
At home, when his mother cooked fish, she would add some coriander, and when his father ate noodles, he would make some minced garlic and pour it with soy sauce. Others, such as when stewing ribs, would add some onion and ginger, and then leeks.
Dumplings and fried shredded pork with celery are also not uncommon meals on the Xu family's dining table.
Therefore, Xu Guangling really has an indifferent attitude towards these things.
It's just that when I was cooking for myself in the past few years, I was usually too lazy to mess with these things, and occasionally bought the second-rate ones. So in general, Xu Guangling was still a bit unfamiliar with them.
And in yesterday's dream, the "Nine-grade White Jade Soup" only had three ingredients: potatoes, tofu, and mushrooms, and then salt. Apart from that, there were no other ingredients! It was so refreshing and simple that Xu Guangling even
Surprised by it.
Having returned to the rented place, Xu Guangling was packing up the things he bought.
Put the yuba in the cupboard. You won't eat it for the time being, and it can be stored for a long time, so you don't have to worry about it. Although the mushrooms are used in the ninth-grade white jade soup, what he bought today is not the one shown in the dream.
Coprinus comatus is an unknown wild fungus, so Xu Guangling could not have used it instead.
Although they are both mushrooms, they are very different from each other. The texture, taste, and taste are all different. The ones Xu Guangling knows and is more familiar with are oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms.
Not similar.
Put the mushrooms in the refrigerator. You won’t use them today, but you will eat them tomorrow.
The rest is potatoes and tofu, two portions of potatoes, randomly take half of one portion, and then cut the tofu into half, and put the rest in the refrigerator as well.
About half a catty of potatoes and tofu are Xu Guangling's breakfast, lunch and dinner today. Condensing three meals into one meal saves time and trouble. This is the style of doing things in the new era. Xu Guangling plans to follow what he had in his dream yesterday.
In that way, make a simple and simplified version of "Nine-grade White Jade Soup".
But because of the lack of Coprinus comatus, I don’t know what the result will be like.
Just like a tripod, it is stable when standing on three legs. But if one foot is removed, let alone the stability, it will not be able to stand up simply. Without the mushroom, Xu Guangling does not expect to be able to make it.
"Seven-grade white jade soup", because the tofu is also not up to standard, and he doesn't plan to treat the shredded potatoes twice, so, um, it is just "two-grade white jade soup"?
Wash the potatoes, scrape and shred them.
While doing this process, Xu Guangling unexpectedly discovered that everything was indeed different from before!
If he was just an apprentice before, no, in fact he was far from the level of an apprentice. He couldn't even be called a rookie and could only be called a rookie! But at this time, Xu Guangling felt that he had transformed into a national player.
Great chef.
I didn’t use any special processing tools. I just bought a cheap kitchen knife that seemed to cost five yuan a piece at the vegetable market. Then I used the kitchen knife in one hand and the potatoes in the other, turning and turning, three times and two times, until all the skins of the potatoes were scraped off.
And then, click, click, click, click, click!
When Xu Guangling came to his senses, the three potatoes were gone, replaced by neat, thin potato shreds on the cutting board. - Wait, are these potato shreds?
Xu Guangling first stood and "watched" from a distance for a while, then he couldn't help but pick out a stick from it, brought it closer and looked at it carefully. As a layman who had never been exposed to cooking, at this time, Xu Guangling
I just want to marvel and praise.
Too thin!
How to elaborate?
It is only one-fifth or even one-tenth of the thickness of the potato shreds he used to cut!
But at this time, Xu Guangling also noticed that the wrists and upper arms of both hands had a slight numbness, tightness, and pantothenic feeling. This may be because of yesterday's dream. The brain's consciousness was already in place, but the body's
The cooperation is still not in place?
In any case, Xu Guangling was once again surprised by "his" performance just now.
The next step is to cut the tofu into shreds. It is still very fine, but because there are potato shreds in front, there is not much to say about this tofu shred. Another point is that compared with the tofu shreds in the dream, this tofu
Silk is simply a "soily round".
It's not that the knife can't cut it finer, but the tofu doesn't support it.
Therefore, indirectly, Xu Guangling knew how big the gap was between the tofu he bought and the tofu in his dream! Although, this may indeed be the best tofu in the city.
Shaking his head slightly, Xu Guangling just wanted to say that the world is really big.
Just yesterday, how would he have known such a thing? What is the best in the whole city? It is simply a big statement! But at this time, although he has not investigated and has not visited all the vegetable markets in the city, many of them are
Guangling can still make this judgment with considerable certainty - based on a thorough understanding of the entire process from soybeans to tofu!
After the ingredients are processed, the next step is cooking.
In fact, there is nothing much to say about the cooking process. It is just about boiling water, and then when the heat is up, add the two ingredients one after another.
When is the heat reached? Xu Guangling didn't even have the concept of heat in the past. His only or two concepts for cooking are "boiling" and "cooking until cooked". At this time, the water is boiling.
Then naturally he knew that the heat was up and it was time to add shredded potatoes, and after a while, the heat was up and it was time to add shredded tofu.
After a while, the heat is up and you can add salt.
After a while, the heat is up and it's ready to be taken out of the pot.
But that’s it!
Xu Guangling was doing all this very clearly, but in fact, he was confused because all of this was so new to him, and it seemed that he had to do it with his own hands before the things in his dream would change from dream-like.
Step out of the illusion and come to reality.
There’s no need to talk about the ninth-grade white jade soup, let’s just call it white jade soup.
And when he put the white jade soup into a bowl and carried the bowl to the dining table, before he could sit down, Xu Guangling smelled a light and strong fragrance in the bowl he was holding.
, from subtle to gradual, from gradual to obvious, spreading to the entire room.
The first thing that bore the brunt was his nose.
Next is his belly.
His stomach suffered a sudden and violent air attack at this moment. - Gugu, Gugu!
Only then did Xu Guangling remember that he was already hungry when he just got up. After a busy meal, he forgot about it. But at this time, when the work was done, the forgotten hunger suddenly became stronger.
