Chapter 772: Old Meng, Don't You Regret [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Steaming celery leaves is as simple as putting the mixed celery leaves directly on the cage drawer and then putting them in a pot to steam.
However, if you want to steam it deliciously, there are also skills.
First of all, it is best to put a cage cloth on the cage drawer.
This adds an additional barrier to evenly heat the celery leaves, preventing the heat from rushing through the holes in the cage drawer to the celery leaves, resulting in uneven heating of the celery leaves.
Of course, you don't pay so much attention to eating at home, and the cage cloth is also very troublesome to wash, so it is generally done at home to brush a layer of oil on the cage drawer to prevent adhesion.
The second thing to pay attention to is to boil the water in the pot before putting it in the cage drawer to minimize the steaming time.
This not only makes the steamed vegetables brighter in color, but also tastes better, and also prevents the celery leaves from becoming sticky due to long-term steaming.
The length of steaming time is also very important, under normal circumstances, it is good to steam for five or six minutes in a pot, and increase the time as appropriate if the amount is large.
However, it is best not to take more than ten minutes.
After more than 10 minutes, the celery leaves will gradually turn from green to yellow, and the flour on top will gradually become sticky due to the adhesion of water vapor.
Xu Zhuo is steaming in a steamer today, but he doesn't have to think too much about these factors.
He first opened the steamer to preheat, then took the silicone steaming mat and placed it in a porous steaming tray and placed celery leaves on it.
After the steamer was preheated, Xu Zhuo opened the cabinet door and put the steaming tray containing celery leaves inside.
Steam for five minutes like this and you're good to go.
Taking advantage of the steaming time, Xu Zhuo began to make garlic sauce for steaming.
This sauce is very simple, first mash some garlic with a garlic mortar, and then take the opportunity to add some salt in the process of pounding the garlic paste.
This not only saves time, but also allows the salt to be fully integrated into the garlic puree.
Once the garlic is ready, scoop it into a bowl with a spoon and pour in the balsamic vinegar light soy sauce and sesame oil.
After stirring well, set aside and wait for the celery leaves to come out of the pan and mix directly while hot.
The reason why it is served hot is because it will allow the celery leaves to cool down as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the heat on the celery leaves will also stimulate the aroma of the garlic paste and increase the appetite.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Zhuo closed the steaming cabinet and opened the cabinet door, and a unique fragrance of celery gushed out from inside.
Xu Zhuo put on heat-insulating gloves and brought out the tray inside when the steam was almost gone.
The celery leaves in the tray were still verdant, and the flour seemed to have covered the green leaves with a layer of hoarfrost.
Looks ......
It's quite appetizing.
Because of the short steaming time, the celery leaves are loose and easy to remove from the tray.
After putting all the celery leaves into the basin, Xu Zhuo took the bowl of mixed sauce and poured it in.
Then, he took a pair of chopsticks in each hand and quickly shook the celery leaves in the pot and shook them apart.
A garlic fragrance wafted out of the basin, and the fragrance was mixed with the sour taste of acetate, which made people hungry unconsciously.
There was no one around at this time, and Xu Zhuo was also a little excited, so he took a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it.
The steamed celery leaves have a faint bitter taste when you first eat them, but when they are served with balsamic vinegar and garlic paste, they will whet your appetite and you can't help but want to take another bite.
However, Xu Zhuo didn't dare to eat more.
In more than two hours, the engagement ceremony will begin, and someone will definitely coax him to kiss Yu Keke at that time.
However, his mouth is full of garlic......
In order not to cause any psychological shadow to your daughter-in-law, let's hold back first, anyway, celery leaves are available every day, just eat them when you want to do them.
"What do you want to cook deliciously? Do you want to take advantage of today's special day to make a commemorative dish?"
Guo Xingwang passed by here, smelled the good smell and came over curiously.
But when he saw the pot of green dishes in front of Xu Zhuo, he wisely closed his mouth.
So green......
It's not like the color of a commemorative dish.
Xu Zhuo didn't think much about it: "I tried steaming some celery leaves, and the taste seems to be good......
Guo Xingwang took the chopsticks and tasted it, and said with a look of approval: "Hey, this taste is indeed very good, Xu Zhuo doesn't seem to have this dish in our store, why don't I bring it out to Mr. Guan for him to taste?"
Xu Zhuo nodded: "Okay, then you can go." ”
It's good to take it away, so that you can't help but eat it again.
After Guo Xingwang left, Xu Zhuo began to think about how to get rid of his bad breath.
He used his mobile phone to check the technique of removing the smell of garlic, first ate a handful of raw peanuts, then a few lettuce leaves, and then nibbled on an apple.
However, when he left the kitchen, he was immediately sniffed by the waiter outside.
"Mr. Xu, aren't you going to get engaged today? Why do you still eat garlic? Hurry up and chew some gum to get rid of the taste, otherwise this will affect the image too much." ”
"Chewing gum is not good, you have to drink milk, Mr. Xu, you listen to me, drinking milk has the best effect......"
Finally, Xu Zhuo drank a bottle of milk and chewed two more pieces of gum.
As a result, when the engagement ceremony was about to begin, my stomach began to growl.
And what made him even more speechless was that the garlic taste in his mouth still hadn't been removed.
And because of the milk, I now have not only the smell of garlic in my mouth, but also the fishy smell of milk......
Next, it's time to exchange tokens. Xu Zhuo, what kind of love gifts have you prepared for your future daughter-in-law, take them out for everyone to see. ”
Meng Liwei held the microphone and urged Xu Zhuo to show the love token.
Xu Zhuo endured the discomfort in his stomach, took out a jewelry box from the pocket of his suit, raised it casually, and then winked at Meng Liwei desperately, signaling him to finish the ceremony quickly.
As a result, Meng Liwei was even more energetic: "Open it and take a look, if you don't open it, who knows what's inside, in case it's a can ring, this is not to deceive our cocoa beauty." ”
Tut!
Xu Zhuo glanced at him helplessly.
Lao Meng, you are not engaged yet, and you are the one who regrets it if you make such a coax.
With this hesitation, Meng Liwei became even more energetic, and kept urging Xu Zhuo to open it quickly.
Boss Xu glanced at Meng Liwei and raised his hand to open the jewelry box.
Inside lay a diamond ring.
Judging by the size and color of this diamond, it should not be cheap.
Meng Liwei saw Xu Zhuo's eyes, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, after Boss Xu finished displaying the ring, he picked up the microphone in a pretended manner.
"Although everyone says that buying a diamond ring in this era is to pay IQ tax, but I think that if you are engaged, you still have to buy one, otherwise what will you use to prove your loyalty to love, and you will talk nonsense?"
After a pause, Xu Zhuo turned his face, looked at Meng Liwei and asked, "Old Meng, do you think I'm right?" By the way, you are going to get engaged next month, do you want to buy Zheng Jia a ring like this, it's less than 200,000, it's very cheap." ”
Meng Liwei: "............"
