Winter melon and duck porridge
Dad Yu worked hard for today's dinner.
The lights in the room are colorful, and the dishes on the table are colorful.
"Ah Jian, winter melon and duck porridge, replenish qi and maintain health!" Yu's father came over with a bowl of white glutinous porridge, put it in front of Yu Jian, and looked at his daughter expectantly.
Look at this little face, the chin is pointed and thin, and the cheekbones are so thin that the cheekbones are protruding. Even so, his daughter is still beautiful, but Yu's father doesn't want to raise a sister Lin. He handed the spoon in his hand to his daughter and ordered another bowl: "Taste it." ”
The summer is hot and humid, and people always want to make something suitable for the climate to cool off. This winter melon and duck pot is one of them.
The duck was bought by Yu's father before dawn at the west of the village, where he specialized in raising water ducks, plucked the whole feathers and brought them back, and deboned and sliced meat in the kitchen early in the morning. Blanch the duck bones, shallots and ginger first, boil out the blood foam impurities, and then remove and clean. The duck bone broth should be boiled in cold water in a pressure cooker, and the cooked duck flavor is strong and there is no fishy smell.
The rice is to use Thai jasmine rice, which was bought by Yu's father some time ago and sent back. People in the south like to use indica rice to cook porridge, but Yu's father thinks that Thai rice is more delicious, the rice grains are slender, and there is a fragrance of pandan leaves after boiling. The rice should be soaked for 20 minutes, which is called open rice.
The beautiful porridge has to be cooked by the fire, Yu's father turned on the pressure cooker, and the rich duck fragrance came out, and found a large casserole, poured in the duck soup, boiled over high heat, poured the fragrant rice in, added dried scallops and ginger shreds, and slowly simmered over low heat.
Slice the duck into thin slices, stir with ginger and shallots, add a spoonful of cooking oil and marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat the pan with oil, stir-fry the shredded mushrooms until fragrant and colored, and then pour them into the simmering porridge. Cut the winter melon into pieces, cook it with the porridge until transparent, then slide in the duck slices and turn on high heat to cook.
Finally, when it comes out of the pot, sprinkle a handful of celery and coriander grains, which is a dehumidifying item suitable for all ages - winter melon and duck porridge.
Yu Jian quietly looked at the bowl of porridge in front of him, slowly blowing it cold, and then picked up the spoon and scooped a small spoonful into his mouth. The saltiness is moderate, the soft and glutinous winter melon, the tenderness of the duck slices, and the light fragrance of the rice grains are all perfectly blended together.
Delicious! One bite after another, the movements in her hands continued, and after a while, a whole bowl of porridge was at the bottom.
"How's it smelling?" Huang Nuan bewitched across the table, her eyelashes fluttering, and her face was full of teasing.
Yu Jian silently picked up a tissue, wiped her mouth, and replied, "Of course...... Very tasty! ”
Eyebrows raised, that means: Do you want to eat? No!
Huang Nuan stole chickens and rice, but she didn't expect to be choked by Yu Jian, twisted her body and leaned her head on Chen Xinyi's shoulder, and muttered: "Look at her, bully!" ”
Chen Xinyi snorted twice and pulled her away indifferently: "You deserve it." "Who told you to come to the muzzle of the gun to carry the bullet.
The dinner was so sumptuous that Huang Nuan wanted to stay at Yu's house and not leave. Stir-fried rice cakes with pike crab, beef curry, steamed sea bass, stewed chicken with perilla snails, and a pot of stir-fried shrimp skin loofah all make her so delicious that she swallows her tongue.
Putting down the chopsticks, she struggled for a long time, and made up her mind: "Uncle Yu, why don't I be your daughter too?" "Anyway, her father and mother are busy making money and don't have time to care about her, it's better to hug the thighs of the Yu family, even if Uncle Yu is old in the future, and Yu Jian, she will definitely not worry about delicious food!
What the heck??
Father Yu's hand holding the chicken leg trembled, but when he didn't hear what he said just now, the chopsticks stretched out into Yu Jian's bowl and said softly: "Ah Jian, eat quickly." ”
Joke?!
He didn't want this foodie daughter who came halfway. It's still his Ajan, how to look at it, how good.
After the meal, Huang Nuan touched his round stomach with one hand, pulled the kitchen door frame with the other, looked at Yu's father who was washing dishes and shouted, "Uncle, don't you really think about it anymore?" I may give you a pension in the future......"
Before she finished speaking, she was greeted by a peeled ginger cube and a nine-yin white bone claw screwed into her ears.
Chen Xinyi kept sneering: "I'll record it for you and send it to your father, you wait to go home and be beaten." ”
……
The old man slept early, and he was making a lot of trouble today, so he had already lost his spirit, so he barely chatted with Yu Jian and went back to his room to rest.
Yu Jian listened to the sound of the kitchen door closing outside, and after a while, the study door opened again, thought about it, and walked out of the door with her things.
"Come in......" Hearing the sound of the door being slammed, Yu's father said in the study, his voice fluttering.
When she opened the door, Yu Jian saw her old father standing on a chair, pouting his ass and rummaging through the top cabinet, and he knew what he was looking for. The legs of the chair were visibly unable to withstand the tremendous pressure from above, and they creaked.
With a shake, Yu's father's fat body also shook, and he quickly stopped his movements, bent his legs slightly, and stabilized his body. Seeing Yu Jian's disapproving gaze, he sneered: "I'll come down ...... now."
When it was too late, the chair shook violently, and it looked like it was about to fall. Yu Jian stepped forward and held him steadily.
Sitting down on the chair steadily, Dad Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I lost weight, I will definitely lose weight when I return to the capital." ”
See, and give yourself time.
"What are you looking for?" Yu Jian looked at the cabinet and asked.
"Just the one with the blue cover, over there." Yu's father pointed it out to her.
Yu Jian stepped onto the chair again, with a cushion on her toes and her arms, she took the book and jumped off the chair.
Steady and steady, all in one go.
also glanced at Dad Yu by the way.
Father Yu admitted that he was at a loss, and quickly changed the topic: "What's wrong?" It's so late and it's not resting. ”
Yu Jian took out the recipe that she had just put aside and handed it to him.
Unexpectedly, Dad Yu snatched it, quickly opened the drawer and threw it to the innermost, closed the drawer, and locked it by the way. With a wave of his hand, he said arrogantly: "Girl, we don't want this recipe!" ”
He knew it! My daughter must have gotten sick from this broken recipe. It's also that he's not good, and he has to send the recipe to his daughter in a way. My daughter must have felt that the burden on her shoulders was too heavy, and she was sick because she was overwhelmed.
"Ajan, don't care about recipes or recipes. You see that I Yu Jianguo has no recipes, hasn't it been until now? Your grandfather, grandfather, and those old ancestors, the bones and scum have turned to ashes, and they can still take care of the offspring? And your Uncle Jianping, just steal recipes, open a restaurant and open more restaurants, say what your grandfather gave him a dream. Phew! Your grandfather, your grandfather has already been reincarnated to find another grandmother for you......"
"Daddy."
Yu Jian interrupted him and complained endlessly, smiling shallowly, she knew in her heart what the old father was saying this for, but now she also has her responsibilities, and she also has things she wants to protect.
She walked up to her father, twisted the lock, pulled open the drawer, and pulled out the half of the cookbook.
"I've read everything that is written on it, and it's not entirely impossible. Times have changed, but there is always something to replace them. In the past, people used extreme cooking techniques because they did not have high-tech utensils, and now there are many skills that can make up for it. Dad, I want to try to see if I can recreate all the dishes in the recipe. Would you like to help me? ”
What?
What is she talking about??
Yu's father petrified in place, looking at his daughter's smiling face in a daze.
Her daughter, she can't really be sick and confused???
