Chapter 18: Gluttony

"They weren't at home, they said they were going to my aunt's cousin's wedding, and they didn't say when they would come back, but every time they went out to run errands, they would go elsewhere and travel again, and they had only been gone for a few days now, so they shouldn't have come back so early."

Li Hanming accompanied Lin Qiao to buy vegetables, Lin Qiao asked Li Hanming if his taste was enough, and decided to make four dishes today: black pepper tender chicken breast, minced eggplant, tiger skin green pepper, sweet and sour pork ribs and a soup: yam mushroom chicken soup!

Li Hanming took the vegetables and meat he bought, and under Lin Qiao's dispute, he asked Lin Qiao to take green onions, ginger and garlic.

Lin Qiao looked at the green onions, ginger and garlic in his hand, and then looked at the big bag in Li Hanming's hand, forming an obvious contrast.

The two figures, one tall and one short, under the afternoon sun, look very compatible and sweet at the moment.

When Lin Qiao and Li Hanming entered the house, Li Hanming planned to help Lin Qiao, and Lin Qiao saw Li Hanming's beaten eggs...

Alas......

kicked Li Hanming out, and told Li Hanming not to disturb him to cook, just watch TV quietly, and call him to eat when the meal is ready!

Subsequently, Lin Qiao entered the kitchen, and without Li Hanming's interference, Lin Qiao cooked very fast:

First of all, Lin Qiao first scratched the chicken breast with a flower knife, added 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, a little crushed black pepper, a drop of salt and sugar, mixed and pinched, evenly refrigerated and marinated for more than 2 hours.

In the process of waiting for pickling, Lin Qiao washed the eggplant again, peeled it, cut it into evenly sized squares, steamed it for five minutes, chopped the green onions, ginger, garlic, red and green peppers for later use, took an empty bowl, put in dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, starch, salt, sugar, vinegar, and then put in water and stirred evenly.

Heat the oil in the pan, put in the minced meat that was cut before and fry it slightly cooked, add the green onions, ginger, garlic, red and green peppers, then put in the steamed eggplant, stir-fry, and finally put in the adjusted juice, stir-fry evenly, and get out of the pot! The minced meat and eggplant are ready!

After Lin Qiao made the minced meat and eggplant, in order to prevent it from cooling, he covered it with an insulated vegetable cover.

Then soak the mushrooms you bought in salted water and wash them, cut them into small pieces, blanch the chicken and ginger slices in the water, and cut the yam into pieces. Put the chicken and mushrooms in a pressure cooker, add water, cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly for an hour.

While waiting for the soup to be cooked, Lin Qiao washed the ribs again, poured cold water into the pot, put the ribs to boil and took them out for later use. Put oil and rock sugar in the pot, then fry the sugar color, turn to low heat, put in the pork ribs that are fished out, stir-fry quickly, turn to medium-high heat, put cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, white vinegar and ginger slices in the pot, put in an appropriate amount of water, boil and simmer, wait for the juice to be done!

Lin Qiao also put the sweet and sour pork ribs into the insulated vegetable cover, and at this time the soup was almost wrapped, Lin Qiao opened the lid, put in some salt, and finished the yam mushroom chicken soup!

The chicken over there has been marinated, Lin Qiao quickly brushed a layer of oil in the non-stick pan, put in the marinated chicken breast, fried it on high heat until it was slightly yellowed on both sides, poured in the sauce of the marinated chicken, turned to low heat, covered with a lid and simmered.

Lin Qiao waited for the black pepper tender chicken breast to come out of the pan, and then simmered the rice again.

The dish was finally out of the pot, Lin Qiao looked at the time, and finished the last dish of tiger skin green peppers, just as the rice was cooked.

Lin Qiao put all the dishes on the table, and poured the drink into the cup.

went to the living room to find Li Hanming to come over for dinner.
