Last weekend, my old classmates from the northwest came to visit Qingdao . In the evening, we invited their family to our home, four adults and three children. I cooked 10 dishes. Unexpectedly, after taking pictures and posting them on WeChat, The comments immediately went viral, with some saying it was good and some saying it was shabby!

Those who say good things are all friends from other places, and those who say shabby things are all local friends! Therefore, Lao Yu was also confused! Let me share with you the meal I served to my classmates last night. Please help me take a look. Is it shabby? If it's really shabby, then it's Lao Yu's fault! After all, it is very shameful to not entertain guests well!

The first course: Salted Bamboo Shrimp

If you are coming to Qingdao at this time, remember that this is the season when bamboo shrimp and are on the market in large quantities. Fresh bamboo shrimp, the meat is tender and delicious, and the price is not expensive! When eating, just boil it in salt water. There was a heavy rainstorm in Qingdao yesterday. There was no choice but to sell a lot of seafood. Fortunately, there were still bamboo shrimps sold!

The second course: Steamed Swimming Crab

Generally speaking, when you come to Qingdao to eat crabs, Shijiahong and Flower Crab are the best choices! Maybe due to the weather, there aren't many people selling seafood, and there aren't many varieties. There are only swimming crabs crabs. Swimming crabs at this time can only taste the deliciousness of crab meat, crab roe and crab paste are not acceptable, it is not yet in season!

The third course: Stir-fried pork with cumin

This dish is simple to make. After slicing the meat, stir-fry it over low heat until it changes color. Finally, turn to high heat, add cumin and stir-fry. Stir-fry until the aroma is released, then add oyster sauce for seasoning. , pour an appropriate amount of sesame oil and sprinkle with chili powder before serving. However, the meat of this dish is old pork, and it is also black pork! It tastes very rich in meat flavor, just like the pork I ate when I was a kid!

The fourth course: avocado, apple and banana sashimi

Many friends are not used to eating seafood sashimi , mainly because they think that the seafood has not been cooked and it is unhygienic to eat it directly! Lao Yu’s classmates happened to think so, so they had no choice but to use avocados, apples and bananas instead of seafood!

I believe many friends have never tried this way of eating. Peel the avocado after it is soft and dip it in horseradish when eating. It tastes like salmon, smooth and tender, and has an oily texture; while apples and bananas The taste will be slightly inferior, a bit like the combined taste of conch flakes and salmon! If you are a friend who likes to eat sashimi, you might as well give it a try, it’s very good!

Course 5: Braised Pork Platter

This dish is just a porter. The shop that makes braised pork has been here for decades. It can be said that I grew up eating it. Their braised meat has a special feature. The pork head meat is lean but not greasy, and the fat meat is not greasy. Especially the pork head is cleaned very cleanly and has no odor at all. Lao Yu discovered that there are actually shops like this in various places. They don’t look big on the outside, but their business is very good. Most of the items that are freshly baked are sold out in no time!

Course 6: Stir-fried cauliflower

Because I have three children, I must make green vegetables. When I cook cauliflower, I usually blanch it first and then stir-fry it. This way, the cooking time is shorter and the flavor is easier to absorb.

Course 7: Fried peanuts

It is said that crayfish is the king of late-night snacks and the best dish to go with wine, but Lao Yu still thinks that this is the best dish to go with wine! I drank several boxes of beer with my old classmates last night, which is the biggest credit! Lao Yu shared a little tip: when frying peanuts, it’s best to soak them first, so that they won’t burn easily during frying and the peanuts won’t turn black easily!

Course 8: Qingdao Old Ham

Nowadays, most hams are made of various meats and various starches, but Qingdao Old Ham still retains the pure meat method, especially now it is popular to make it with shank meat, which has a good taste. Chewy and tastes good too!

Course 9: Braised Pork Ribs

Unexpectedly, the most common dish has become everyone’s favorite dish! Many friends make braised pork ribs, the meat is cooked and the bones are not crispy, but the braised pork ribs made by Lao Yu, the meat is fragrant and the bones are crispy. Although it looks average, everyone must chew the bones after eating, and the juice from the bones can be Fragrant!

The method is simple and time-consuming. Blanch the ribs first; skim off the foam whenever there is any foam until there is no foam; then take it out and wash it, then put it into the casserole again, add the green onion and ginger, and cover it. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes, then turn off the heat. When cooking, just use the casserole to remove the ribs!

Course 10: Laoshan Honey Apricot

Course 10 is Spicy Spicy Beef Tendon, but Lao Yu still feels that our Qingdao Laoshan Honey Apricot has more characteristics! Laoshan honey apricot is also called Laoshan apricot or Laoshan red apricot. It is praised by the locals as "water honey apricot", which means that taking a bite is like eating a peach, not only sweet, but also juicy! Especially this kind of apricot is also big. If you are coming to Qingdao at this time, don’t forget to try it!

The above are the ten dishes Laoyu cooked for his classmates. Take a look, are these dishes shabby? If there are any deficiencies, everyone is welcome to point them out! Finally, thank you all for watching, thank you!
