Recently, I have a common "hobby" with the kitten at home - sucking "mint".

One person and one cat, it sucks and sniffs me, and I am a little crazier than a kitten. Not only do I want to smell it, but I also want to eat it!

In summer, mint is synonymous with coolness. It has an aromatic and pungent smell and is one of the traditional botanical medicines.

Traditional Chinese medicine commonly uses peppermint as a diaphoretic and antipyretic agent, used to clear the wind and dissipate heat, relieve sore throat, and prevent colds and colds.

Mint is included in the "List of Items that Are Both Food and Medicines" published by the National Health and Family Planning Commission.

The peppermint product I use most on weekdays is cooling oil, which is a life-saving tool in hot weather.

If you use its young leaves to squeeze juice, it is also a good drink to remove heat and turbidity. Added as a seasoning to dishes, it has a refreshing taste.

Today I used beef with mint. This wonderful combination is a classic combination in Yunnan, the "Kingdom of Plants".

The combination of the fat aroma of meat and the fragrance of plants works together to stimulate appetite.

1. Make onion and ginger water: Pour the minced green onion, minced ginger and water into a bowl, mix well and soak for 15 minutes , then filter out the onion and ginger water and set aside.

2. Cut the beef into thin slices against the grain, put it into a bowl, add salt, chicken essence, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce and stir well.

Add the onion and ginger water in 3 times and mix well until the beef is fully absorbed. , then add tapioca starch and mix evenly, finally add cooking oil, mix evenly to lock in the water and marinate for 15 minutes

3. Prepare a large pot, add ginger slices and green onions to cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, maintain high heat, add beef quickly Cut open, cook for 30 seconds, take out and let cool immediately.

* There is a lot of beef, so I blanched it twice so that I can better control the heat.

Beef that is first marinated and then blanched has a layer of smoothness. Then coated with sauce, it's dripping with flavor and has an attractive texture.

Green leaf mint is mixed evenly with the meat, and the slightly cool smell is very prominent among the condiments.

Chewing meat is still refreshing. The aroma of mint lingers in the mouth for a long time, lingering faintly between the lips and teeth. When you smash it in your mouth, the smell of meat comes back.

I ate meat for the first time and felt relaxed and happy.

Mint and beef are really a perfect match, just like cumin is for mutton and chili pepper is for pork, it is a perfect combination. It is not a loss to invest~

Tips:

1. Beef should be tenderloin, if you want to eat it fresh and tender For some, you can choose snowflake meat. Remember to cut against the grain.

2. If you use gas at home, you can boil the beef slices in one go. The blanching time can also be relatively shortened. It depends on how thin the beef slices are cut (remember to boil more hot water). Some, otherwise the water will not be hot when the beef slices are put down)

3. Before adding the mint, pat it with your palm to release the fragrance, so that the fragrance of the mint can be stimulated
