Chapter Seventy-One: Feng Ling'er Sijun
"The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze is green. At this moment, Feng Ling'er missed Zhong Tianzheng very much.
"Miss, are you thinking about your uncle again?"
"Hmm. Feng Ling'er, who is married, is no longer shy to answer these questions.
"Why don't you cook Sifu food? ”
"What's that?"
"Young grandma, you come with me. ”
I saw that the maid put the live grasshopper in the basin and covered (aerated) for 2 days, the grasshopper drained the feces, scalded to death in a pot of boiling water, fished out, removed the head, limbs, wings, and internal organs, put it into the pot with salt water, and simmered for a period of time to drain the water. Boil the oil pan until it is hot, put in the grasshoppers, fry until golden brown, and remove it. Grasshoppers are easily crispy, 2~3 minutes will do. If you like spicy food, you can also sprinkle some chili powder. Grasshoppers in autumn are high-protein, low-fat food, especially females have a lot of eggs and are rich in lecithin. When lecithin is digested, it releases choline, which is beneficial for improving a person's memory.
"Oh, what are these, it's scary. Feng Ling'er was a little reluctant when she first saw something like fried grasshoppers.
"Grasshoppers have cough and asthma, whooping cough and bronchitis have a good curative effect, and they are precious to our poor families. ”
"I didn't know before, so I'll try it first. ”
I saw that Feng Ling'er's fried hemp tofu was originally a delicacy for the poor people, but the rich people were also good at it, and they were even addicted. It is quite famous for making fried sesame tofu. In fact, this fried sesame tofu, like bean juice, is the favorite traditional snack of old Beijingers. It is said that fried hemp tofu first appeared in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, poor families would take home the scraps of mung bean starch and vermicelli, stir-fry them with sheep's tail oil, and then put some pickled cabbage and large green beans in it, which could be eaten hot or cold.
"Prepare 1 bowl of sesame tofu, an appropriate amount of salad oil, an appropriate amount of soy sauce, 1 green onion, half a piece of ginger, 4 dried chili peppers, heat the pot and pour oil, pour the green onion and ginger slices into the stir-fry, stir-fry the sesame tofu, and add some oil according to the situation in the pot to prevent the pot. Pour in soy sauce and stir-fry, pour in a large amount of hot water, the water should not be boiled over high heat, blister and boil, and then turn the fire smaller, keep stir-frying with a shovel while cooking, fry until the water and sesame tofu are completely integrated, put it in a clean pot and heat it and pour in a little oil, pour the dried red pepper into the fried fragrance and turn off the heat, and pour the chili pepper and oil together on the fried sesame tofu. ”
Feng Ling'er told the maid as she did it.
"Hot water must be added more, and it will taste good after boiling and stir-frying for a long time. When stir-frying sesame tofu, you can also add yellow sauce, green beans, green leeks, snow mushrooms, etc. to stir-fry together. ”
Bean juice and hemp tofu. One is unique, and the other is strange in taste. The taste of bean juice and hemp tofu is mixed with sourness and astringency, and it is very weird, which is really not acceptable to everyone. After the mung bean is soaked, it is ground into a pulp with water, and the slurry will be divided into three layers when placed overnight, and the lowest layer of powder is starch after drying. The top layer of gray-green water is the predecessor of bean juice. Put this gray-green slurry water out, and after fermentation, it will be sour raw bean juice. The raw bean juice is boiled with water until it is cooked thoroughly, and there will be a lot of foam in the boiling process. Bean juice is something that should be thrown after making starch and vermicelli, and hemp tofu is something to be thrown away when boiling bean juice. Sheep's tail oil is generally used for stir-fried hemp tofu, and the amount of oil used is not small. Of course, vegetable oil can also be used.
"Use vegetable oil, fry twice when stir-frying, pour some vegetable oil into the pot before the first stir-fry, pour the sesame tofu into the pot, and add ginger slices and green onions at the same time. The first bit of oil was put in for fear of Bardi. After stir-frying a few times, then use a spoon and vegetable oil to pour oil into the pot from the edge of the pan, so that the hemp tofu in the pot will not stick to the pot. When stir-frying, add salt and soy sauce to give it flavor. Then put it out, brush the pot clean, reheat it on the fire and pour the oil, pour the hemp tofu into the pot after the oil is hot, add a lot of hot water after stir-frying, so that the water does not pass the hemp tofu, and use a spatula to copy the bottom at any time to prevent the bottom. As the heat in the pot rises, the added water boils the pot, and the sesame tofu in the pot is covered with countless small blisters. Feng Ling'er said and cooked, and filled a pot of vegetables.
"I know, I know. The maid said: "The cooking procedure of putting water into the hemp tofu also has a special term for it, which is called "glutinous". In this process, you must use the spatula to copy the bottom and stir-fry back and forth without pause, and you can't let it sit on the bottom of the pot and the wall of the pot, until the added water is completely integrated with the hemp tofu, and then you can serve the pot off the fire. ”
Feng Ling'er said: "This is not the end, use a spatula to press a pit in the middle of the hemp tofu on the plate, put another pot on the fire, pour oil, after the oil is hot, throw two or three dried red peppers into the pot, fry it into black charcoal, and then pour it on the hemp tofu with oil." That's the complete finish. Dry flour, spinach, peas or green beans, carrots, pork belly, oil, chopped green onions, minced ginger, soy sauce, garlic slices, salt, etc. Make gnocchi. Add flour and water to form a harder dough, cut into gnocchi slightly larger than soybean grains and put it into a pot of boiling water, stir it in one direction with a shovel sticking to the bottom of the pot, stir every l or 2 minutes to prevent the pimples from sinking to the bottom and burning, and scatter the lumps stuck together at any time, cook for 3 to 5 minutes after boiling, when the pimples are all floating, then take them out and put them in a basin of cold water for a while. ”
The maid said: "The auxiliary ingredients are minced beef and green vegetables, and after about 30 seconds of stir-frying in a wok, add soy sauce, vinegar, and salt to stir-fry again, add cooked gnocchi and stir-fry, stir-fry for about 30 seconds, add fresh vegetables, and wait for soy sauce and other water to soak into the pimple." Serve hot food as well. The ingredients are dry flour, spinach, peas or green beans, carrots, pork belly, oil, chopped green onions, minced ginger, soy sauce, garlic slices, salt. ”
I saw the maid talking and doing at the same time.
She made the dough a little harder, kneaded it and set it aside. 2. Cut the spinach, carrots, pork belly, etc. into small cubes, and oil the vegetables separately except the meat. Roll out the dough into a long dough with a uniform thickness, cut the dough into strips at equal distances with a knife, and sprinkle with dry flour so that the noodles do not stick to each other. Cut the noodles into cubes, sprinkle them with flour, and mix them until they are flat and round, and they don't stick to each other.
She put the dough on the drawer and shook it, and the dry flour leaked out. Then put the noodles into boiling water and boil, light the water once after boiling, and take out the noodles after the water is boiled and let them cool to avoid sticking to each other. After that, control the water for later use. When the oil is hot, put in the diced meat that has been caught with starch, put the green onion and ginger after the diced meat changes color, put the soy sauce after the fragrance comes out, stir-fry evenly and then put the diced vegetables, and finally put the gnocchi. Continue to stir-fry, adding salt and garlic before removing. Put some green garlic pieces in the pan, the same size as the gnocchi. But in order to prevent the smell from crossing, it is better to add garlic slices.
"That's it. The maid said happily.
Feng Ling'er suddenly understood the meaning of Wangfucai.
