Chapter 1338 Tomato fried broccoli
After the high political commissar left, Meng Chuan thought about what vegetarian dishes to fry, generally speaking, in the case of meat dishes, the fried vegetarian dishes are to adjust nutrition, after all, the combination of meat and vegetables can be nutritionally balanced, and the second is to relieve greasy.
After all, after eating so much meat, it will be a little greasy, in this case, Meng Chuan did think of a dish, that is, fried broccoli with tomatoes.
The efficacy of broccoli Meng Chuan really doesn't need to say much, what anti-cancer and anti-cancer, enhance immunity, anti-aging, these effects are a bit metaphysical to say, it may be a little bit of efficacy, but it is really unnecessary to exaggerate.
However, broccoli is a good product for weight loss, and this can indeed be emphasized. In the general weight loss nutritious meal, it is inevitable to see broccoli, firstly because of its high nutritional value, and secondly, because of its low calorie and high water content, which can fill the stomach without worrying about making people fat.
And tomatoes, a vegetable with good taste and high nutritional value, Meng Chuan will not introduce much, eating more tomatoes is definitely no less than eating more fruits every day.
Since this is the case, then Meng Chuan set out to make this dish, first cut the broccoli into small pieces, and this small piece is best cut according to the texture of the cauliflower, so that it will look much better when cut out.
If you want to cook broccoli, the best way is to cook it first, because broccoli rhizomes are harder and generally more difficult to cook, so cooking first is a good way.
Add water to the pot and boil, add the chopped broccoli after the water boils, because the nutritional value of broccoli is relatively high, but overcooking will affect its nutritional value, so Meng Chuan plans to cook it for three minutes.
There was broccoli boiling over there, and Meng Chuan was not idle here, he began to cut the tomatoes, cut the tomatoes into petals, put them on a plate for later use, and then began to prepare the spices.
The spices used in stir-frying vegetarian dishes are best to use green onions, ginger and garlic, so that the stir-fried vegetarian dishes will have a unique fragrance.
Here Meng Chuan does not particularly recommend using bean paste to stir-fry fragrant, not that the dishes fried with bean paste are not delicious, but because the taste of the bean paste itself is very strong, if it is not put in place, it is easy to cover up the fragrance of the vegetarian dish itself, and what you eat like this is only spicy and salty, which is not beautiful.
Of course, it still depends on each person's taste, after all, only the dishes you like will be happier to eat, and you don't necessarily have to follow Meng Chuan's practice.
After cutting the spices, the broccoli was also cooked at just the right time, and the broccoli at this time became more green and attractive, and the cooking squad leader came over at this time, "Director, when cooking broccoli, you can add a little olive oil, so that it looks good." ”
Olive oil is not a particularly good oil, but it is indeed more expensive than the blended cooking oil we usually use at home, although Tepeli also has this oil, but it is not much, generally speaking, it is not the head of Tepei or the head of the superior to eat, this oil is not used at all.
Don't think you are treated differently, the rules of this world are like this, just like the grassroots companies where officers and soldiers eat in the same stove, the leek eggs eaten by the company commander and the leek eggs eaten by ordinary soldiers are different, and the dish that the company commander eats has more eggs than leeks.
It's not that Meng Chuan doesn't want to use olive oil, but it's unnecessary, if this dish is boiled broccoli, Meng Chuan doesn't mind boiling it with some olive oil, and even puts some salty salt to taste.
But when I make tomato fried broccoli now, oil will be put in the pot, so when it is boiled, it is not a waste to put olive oil in advance.
Meng Chuan knew that when cooking for the leaders, he should put some good things, but if it was wasted, Meng Chuan was absolutely unwilling, our officers and soldiers were supported by the people, and they didn't dare to waste it casually, so how could we waste it casually?
"No, squad leader, it's a waste to do that. Your cooking system manages the food of hundreds of people, even if the food in your hand is too much, you can't waste it, understand? ”
The cooking squad leader nodded again and again, "Yes, director, we have always kept in mind the principle of diligence and thrift, and we will not waste it at will." ”
After the broccoli was taken out, Meng Chuan began to heat the pan and pour oil.
The oil temperature is 50% hot, put in the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic, here you can use a low heat to fragrant, although the effect is not as fragrant as the big fire, but it is better to grasp the heat, not to fry the paste.
After stir-frying the green onion, ginger and garlic twice to change color and fragrance, then pour in the tomatoes and continue to stir-fry.
If you like to eat whole tomatoes, you don't need to fry them for too long, there is a difference here, the tomatoes that are a little rotten are not so sour, and they will taste better, but the appearance is average, especially in stir-frying, the appearance is not as good as the whole tomatoes.
Although the whole tomatoes look good, but in terms of taste, it is not as good as a little mush, this still depends on the person, after all, many people like to eat raw tomatoes, and it doesn't matter if they are sour or not.
Here Meng Chuan has a suggestion, if you cook soup, it is best to boil tomatoes; As for stir-frying, Meng Chuan prefers a more complete one.
So here Meng Chuan does not add salt, the tomatoes stir-fry for a minute, then add broccoli and continue to fry.
This stir-fry time does not need to be very long, because the broccoli itself is cooked, so it can be stir-fried for half a minute at most, and here Meng Chuan seized the time to prepare a water starch.
If you don't like it, you can not add it, but Meng Chuan recommends adding it, because there are tomatoes here, if you add a little water starch, the sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes will be integrated into the water starch, and the broccoli that is difficult to taste is also more likely to be contaminated with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, which will increase the taste of broccoli.
Moreover, water starch has the effect of lubricating the taste, which can make broccoli taste much more refreshing.
However, water starch should not be added too much, a small spoon is enough, after adding water starch, put some chicken essence, salt and sugar, put the juice on high heat, and this tomato fried broccoli is completed.
Turn off the heat and put it on the plate, the green and fresh broccoli with the red tomatoes is tempting, and the bright color once again attracts all the fighters in the cooking class.
At this time, the deputy squad leader trotted next to the squad leader and whispered: "Squad leader, the soldiers in our squad unanimously feel that you have to hold a class meeting in the evening to organize us to study." ”
The cooking squad leader was surprised when he heard this, "You guys, what you don't like the most is studying, why are you suddenly energetic now." Say, do you want to learn the party constitution or Mao? ”
When the deputy squad leader heard the titles of these books, his head was big, "Squad leader, it's to learn cooking." Director Meng's cooking skills are so good, you have been following him all the time, so you haven't stolen two hands? Everyone is in the same class, and the cooking is also for the hundreds of people in Tepei, you can't hide your secrets, organize us to study at night. ”
Learning cooking skills is a good thing for the cooking soldiers to improve their skills, and the cooking squad leader agreed at the time, "It's no problem to study, but I can't guarantee to make the director's level of food, if I can't do it well, don't say that my level is not good." ”
