Chapter 220 Each has its own characteristics

At the same time, don’t forget to prepare another important ingredient while processing the meat ingredients - soaking glutinous rice.

Take out the glutinous rice that was previously soaked in water and patiently filter out excess water through a fine mesh sieve or cloth bag.

The next step is to start making the core of this meal - delicious meatballs.

Choose some meat pieces with a slightly rough texture and roll them into round and plump small balls. Wrap each formed meat ball with a layer of glutinous rice that has been thoroughly drained and has a slightly sticky surface.

Once ready, place a layer of clean lotus leaves on the bottom of the bamboo steamer as the bottom support material, and then carefully place the crystal clear, small and delicate meatballs in order.

On the other side, light the fire under the stove and start making another side dish - omelette.

When the temperature of the iron pan rises to a suitable level, use a small spoon to dip the vegetable oil and gently spread it along the edge of the bottom of the pan to form a very thin protective film that covers the entire contact surface.

Then immediately pour in an appropriate amount of fresh beaten and evenly stirred egg liquid, and quickly rotate the pot to allow the liquid to flow naturally and spread out, so as to obtain a complete and moderately thick round pancake-like food.

While the golden and tempting omelette is still slowly cooling down, you can start preparing a pot of boiling water.

At the same time, take out the meat pieces that have been finely seasoned and stirred several times until they have an excellent taste, and put them in the center of the flattened and not yet completely cooled omelette; then carefully fold it inward from both sides to shape it into a rectangular strip.

The same form.

Similarly, it should be placed in a bamboo container filled with glutinous rice wrapped meatballs waiting to be steamed.

By repeating such steps and alternately putting in different kinds of food ingredients, the cooking of all the food ingredients can be successfully completed within a time range of about thirty minutes.

While waiting for the mouth-watering aroma to gradually fill the room, a child named Xiao Shitou also woke up in his warm bed.

Seeing this, the young mother Zhao Chunhua gently picked up her child and brought him to an open space in their yard to let him see the flock of chickens that were growing up under the joint care of their family.

"Okay, baby, now I'll let you make the decision. Which cute chicken do you want to eat at our banquet tonight? Can you point it out to me?"

This beautiful and virtuous mother spoke gently to her innocent child who did not yet understand the rules of how the world worked.

For such a young and ignorant life, how could he know that the chicken he casually pointed at with his tender fingers would soon become a rich and delicious dish on the table?

After remembering the appearance of the chicken with the most colorful and beautiful feathers, Zhao Chunhua returned to the room.

She fed the little boy patiently, making sure every bite of food made it safely into his mouth.

After the child had eaten and drunk his fill and finally put down his bowl and chopsticks, she let him go and play with his beloved pet dog without any worries.

Today, this little dog named "Bubai" has not only become stronger, but also more clever.

For example, when it was accidentally hurt by a naughty child, it knew to dodge and run away quickly. It no longer allowed itself to be bullied as before, and it didn't even master the basic escape skills.

Seeing such changes, Zhao Chunhua deeply realized a point she had heard from other parents before: it does make sense not to let children come into contact with small animals too early.

Because this naughty kid at home is sometimes not very friendly to the pets kept at home.

Of course, it is impossible to closely monitor the two little ones all day long and not let them spend time together!

So he could only hope that Bubai would be more patient. After all, he was much stronger now than before. If he really didn't want the child to tease him any more, he could avoid him easily.

Peel off the hard outer shell of the lotus pod, then move the glutinous rice that has been soaked and cleaned into the house and place it on the table.

Although it takes some time to soften the raw materials, the main material needed to make glutinous lotus root is to select fresh lotus roots with no mud or sand residue and perfect shape, and choose the larger end as the main filler, and cut a horizontal opening about two or three centimeters away from the edge.

Pre-stir the brown sugar into the soft glutinous rice that has fully absorbed water, and then carefully fill the sweet rice grains into the space in the center of each lotus root little by little until all the holes are filled.

Finally, to ensure that they do not fall out during the cooking process, use a few bamboo sticks to insert them into the cut to stabilize them.

Add enough water to the pot, then put in an appropriate amount of rock sugar, large pieces of brown sugar, several plump red dates and a small bag of dried osmanthus.

The whole process needs to be simmered on low heat for about an hour and a half.

After turning off the heat, wait patiently for at least two hours to let it cool naturally until the temperature drops before you can eat this sweet and nourishing food.

The finished product is cut into thin slices and served on a plate.

Although both are made with glutinous rice as the main ingredient, the salty and delicious meatballs and another unique dish that exudes natural floral fragrance, is sweet but not greasy, and is extremely soft and sticky do have their own characteristics and are equally good.

Since the main ingredients required are very similar, Zhao Chunhua decided to prepare these three dishes with unique flavors but similar ingredients on the same day.

The result of the busy work throughout the afternoon - handmade products full of sweat and hard work were neatly placed in steamers and casseroles, and then properly stored in the warehouse, waiting to be used on the birthday to add color to the celebration.

When night fell and everything was quiet, in order to test whether the delicious results of a day's work were as satisfactory as expected, Zhao Chunhua took the lead in tasting the three dishes she had cooked herself.

The sweet and elegant taste of the glutinous lotus root is like fresh air in your mouth, making it unforgettable. The meatballs are crispy on the outside but extremely soft and chewy on the inside. Just a light bite will make the juice burst in your mouth and flow through your taste buds, which is extremely tempting.

The green bean sprouts are quickly blanched in boiling water and then taken out, served with the egg roll strips that have been carefully cut in advance, and then a large spoonful of hot and rich soup is poured on top.

The whole dish is well-layered and extremely rich and satisfying both visually and in terms of taste. Even the meat filling, which is as delicate and smooth as tofu brain, is specially processed into small pieces that are easy for children to enjoy and served to them.

After enjoying such an exquisite, delicious and loving dinner, today's fatigue seemed to disappear.
