As the saying goes, "You have to be good companions when you live, and you have good neighbors when you live." The neighbor, Grandma Li, came to ask me for help again. She said that distant water is difficult to quench the thirst of the near, and that distant relatives are not as good as neighbors. Her grandson from college came to see her on vacation. He arrived at 6 o'clock in the evening and wanted me to cook some dishes. She was getting older and didn't know what young people like to eat, so she had to ask me for help. Last time her little grandson's family came and asked me to help with cooking, but this time they came to me again, seemingly approving of my half-bottle of water cooking. They all said, "A good neighbor is better than a relative", and I agreed without hesitation.
Looking through Grandma Li's refrigerator, there is nothing left, what am I cooking? Alas, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so she can only buy a few downstairs and use the brown sugar hair cake at home to recharge. I prepared a total of 8 dishes today. I didn’t expect Grandma Li’s grandson to say, “Auntie, how much is your monthly salary, so you don’t have any good looks. Don’t come to work tomorrow.” This made me angry, if it weren’t for old age. In terms of people, who wants to cook for young people with able-bodied limbs? Let's take a look at which dishes I have prepared and whether they are really that bad.
Step 1: Braised pork skin with edamame and rice
Have you seen the stewed pork skin with soybean and rice? Every time Grandma Li buys pork, she will remove the pig skins and store them in the refrigerator, and make pig skin jelly after one plate is enough. I don’t know when the pigskin I found out today is gone, so I quickly "destroy" it.
First scrape off the fat inside the pigskin, and then blanch it. After blanching, shave the epidermis again and scrub again. The pigskin will not be fishy but also elastic. I braised the pork skin first and then simmered it with edamame for 25 minutes. The pork skin is chewy and the edamame is soft and delicious.
Step 2: fried pork with wild rice
fried sliced pork with wild wild rice does not look good, but it tastes good. wild rice is rich in oxalic acid, so it needs to be blanched before frying. The meat slices are marinated for a while with light soy sauce, starch, cooking wine, and eggs. They taste very tender and don't jam at all. Grandma Li ate more than half of it, and she kept nodding her head when she ate. Her eldest grandson didn't eat any chopsticks. He probably thinks that this dish is definitely not delicious either.
Step 3: Roast Duck
Roast duck is a finished product that I bought, and it’s too late to make it. This is bought by a store that is among the best in the community regardless of weight and taste. Its duck skin is roasted ruddy and not greasy, and the duck meat is not fishy or dry. You can feel fresh and tender after a bite. I especially watched Grandma Li's grandson. He ate this dish with gusto. It seems that I have to hone my cooking skills.
Step 4: Scrambled eggs with tomatoes
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a home-cooked dish that everyone loves to eat. Add a few drops of cooking wine to the eggs to get rid of fishy, then add a little warm water and stir evenly. The fried eggs are fragrant and have a large portion. If the tomatoes are not peeled, you can pour them into the pot and stir them until the water comes out. Then add the eggs and stir-fry them.
This home-cooked dish, I think I have already used my great power, but I didn't even look at it when I saw Grandma Li's grandson. Is it poisonous or is this child allergic to eggs? It hurts people's internal organs, and it hurts morale.
Course 5: Grilled Chicken Middle Wings
Chicken Middle Wings I bought from the community where I sell chickens. They are all chickens just slaughtered today. The number is small, only 12. To save time, I decided to use an electric baking pan to cook fried chicken wings. After rubbing and washing the chicken wings, use a knife to change them, then use cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, green onions, ginger, pepper, salt, and a few peppers to rub for a while, marinate for 20 minutes, and put it in an electric baking pan. Medium fried,Finally, the barbecue ingredients were added, mixed and served on the table. I secretly took a few glances at Grandma Li's grandson, good fellow, who knows to eat fresh. After a while, 8 of the 12 chicken wings disappeared. As soon as each one was stuffed into the mouth, the bones were spit out, which was faster than lightning.
No. 6: Pork Ball Tomato Soup
Grandma Li is just good for this bite, she drinks a bowl of tomato soup almost every day. Today, I made this bowl of soup because the weather in Guangdong was too hot. His grandson was "just here" and feared that he would not be used to it, so he made a bowl of soup with meat and moisture to moisturize his throat.
I picked plum meat , cleaned and chopped into minced meat, add cooking wine, green onion ginger water, light soy sauce, salt, egg white, starch and stir clockwise. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, stir well, beat it a few times, and then let it sit for a while.
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces and pour them into the pot to dry and stir for a while. When the water comes out, add 1 bowl of boiling water and bring to a boil. Squeeze meatballs with a tiger’s mouth and pour them into the pot. After the balls are all floating, add salt to taste and cook for about 1 minute.
Step 7: boiled water chestnut
This water chestnut was given to Grandma Li during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She was reluctant to eat it and wanted to keep it for her grandson. Looking forward to the day and night, the grandson finally came, and she asked me to cook it directly. Respect her opinion, and serve as soon as it is cooked. Grandma Li's grandson didn't eat any of them, so I don't know if I didn't make it or he didn't like it.
Track 8: Brown sugar hair cake
The brown sugar hair cake belongs to my family. Grandma Li came over when I was making it. Thinking of seeing people like to eat pasta, I steamed it decisively and brought a plate.Today’s brown sugar pudding I added a little pumpkin puree and rice milk. It doesn’t look like the pores are too big, but the taste is good and the nutrition is doubled. Grandma Li's grandson ate a piece and nodded and ate another piece. He finally confirmed one of the foods.
.Concluding remarks: Grandma Li asked me how much money for a month. Before I could respond, it said that the day was not used for work, which made me baffled. My feelings are that I am a nanny. Grandma Li quickly explained, and the young man apologized again and again. Looking back, it might be that my service is not enough, and the dishes are still not in the eyes of others. I will work harder to improve my cooking skills in the future. I'm Baoma's private room, an office worker who likes to make meals. Around the stove, pots and pans and work every day, tired and happy. I will do my best to share the three meals and four seasons of my family, to provide you with reference, and to record my lost youth, and also look forward to communicating with you.
