"Being a stranger in a foreign land alone, I miss my family more during the festival." Today is the second day of National Day, and the Double Ninth Festival is about to usher in. As a left-behind woman, my little life is always on the right track. My neighbor, Grandma Li, lives alone all year round. Seeing her looking out at the door every day, I know I miss my children. Children have their own lives when they grow up and have their own arrangements for their holidays. It is understandable that they cannot take into account the elderly. It is said that "I respect my elders and people are old." As her neighbor, I made 2 dishes and 1 soup to invite her to have dinner together, which is considered as two people celebrating the festival together. Netizens said that such home-cooked meals are really delicious. Wherever home is, I will have a free meal.
Lecture 1: Beef stewed potatoes
Although potatoes can be seen in the market all year round, only potatoes that enter late autumn taste the best. Potatoes are high in starch content this season, and they have a faint aroma whether they are braised, cold, fried or pureed.
The older generation often says, "Enjoy tonic in autumn and winter, and fight the tiger in the next year." Not all ingredients are allowed tonic. For meat, we can choose beef, which has low fat content, high protein content, and is rich in minerals such as iron and phosphorus. Pair beef with potatoes to double the nutrition.
Ingredients: 400 grams of beef, 500 grams of potatoes, rice wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking oil, green onion, ginger, garlic , salt, 1 slice of hawthorn
① We cut the beef into small pieces and soaked in cold water for 2 hours. You can rub the beef repeatedly in the middle and change the water several times to remove the impurities in the beef. Boil water in the pot and pour in the beef. Pour in green onion, ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and boil over high heat. When there is a lot of foam on the surface of the pot, remove the beef and rinse it with warm water. Roast oil in the pot and stir-fry. After the beef changes color, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and rice wine to remove the fishy smell and color it. Add ginger, garlic, and 1 piece of hawthorn to remove the fishy smell and stir-fry evenly.
② Peel the potatoes, rub them, then cut them into small pieces and soak them in water. Wash a few times and take it out and pour it into the pot. Stir for a while and let the potatoes color.
③Add 1 bowl of boiling water, boil over high heat, and then change to medium heat to boil.
④ and other beef can be seasoned with chopsticks when inserted into it, stir-fry evenly and continue to simmer.
⑤ After the potatoes are soft and rotten, sprinkle some chopped green onions and decorate them, you can eat it.
Tips: Beef is more fishy and hard than pork, so we use cold water to soak the bleeding water. Use rice wine to remove the fishy smell, and do not use cooking wine. Adding some hawthorn when cooking the beef can make the beef soft and rot quickly.
Lecture 2: Pig trotter stewed tofu skin
People say "eating beans in autumn is better than meat." Beans and soy products have nutrients that cannot be replaced by other ingredients. Eating them appropriately is beneficial to the body. Pig trotters are a hard dish in the hearts of the people, and they are indispensable when facing festivals. The fat content of pig's trotters is also lower than that of pork belly, and it is rich in collagen , protein , vitamins, etc.
Pig trotters are heavy greasy ingredients after all, and the tofu skin requires a lot of oil to cook to make it delicious. Stew with pig's trotters and tofu skin. The pig's trotters are not greasy and the tofu skin is soft and chewy.
Recommended recipe: Pig trotter stewed tofu skin
Ingredients: Pig trotter 600 grams, tofu skin 400 grams, onion, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, garlic, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, old vinegar , salt, cooking oil
① We put the surface of the pig trotter on the fire and roast it, then scrape the surface, then chop it into small pieces and soak it in water. Rub the washed pig's trotters and pour them into the pot, add green onion, ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and cook on high heat. When there is a lot of foam on the surface of the pot, take out the pig's trotters and rinse it with warm water.
②Boil oil in a pot, pour in the pig's trotter and stir-fry. After the moisture on the surface of the fried pig's trotters is added, add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and old vinegar to remove the fishy smell and color it, and simmer for 2 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, star anise, bay leaf and green onion and stir-fry for a few more times.
③ Pour in boiling water and cover the pig's trotters and boil over high heat. After the water boils, add a little salt to increase the base flavor and simmer over low heat.
④When you can insert the pig's trotters with chopsticks, pour in the tofu skin cut into small pieces and continue to cook on low heat.
⑤Cook the tofu skin a little softer, add salt to season, and cook on low heat to let the tofu skin taste delicious.
⑥Calcium juice over high heat, sprinkle some chopped green onion and then serve.
Tips: Pig's trotters are also a difficult ingredient to cook. When we cook, we can speed up the softness and rot of pig's trotters. This dish should not be pressed with a pressure cooker. Only the hard-cooked pig's trotters are chewy and have a better taste.
Lecture 3: Tofu broth
People say "no chicken can make a meal", but in fact, eating with the elderly cannot make a meal without soup. The elderly have a taste that is not as good as the young. If they don’t have soup, they can only sit at the dining table.
Recommended recipe: Tofu broth
Ingredients: 1 tomato, 100 grams of tofu, plum blossom 100 grams, starch, light soy sauce, salt, green onion, cooking oil
① We cut off the tail of the tomato, rinse it and cut it into small diced. Boil oil in a pot and stir-fry with tomatoes.
②We soak the tofu in light salt water for 30 minutes in advance, rinse it clean, and cut it into small pieces. After the tomatoes are exceeded, add 1 bowl of boiling water and boil them, pour in the tofu and cook together.
③ Wash the plum blossom meat, cut it into shreds, and chop it with a knife for a few times. Add light soy sauce, starch, green onion and ginger water and stir. When the tomato soup in the pot is cooked, and there are many pores on the surface of the tofu, pour in the meat and cook.
④ After the pork changes color, add salt to season, and continue to simmer for 1 minute.
⑤Supple all the ingredients and you can eat it.
Tips: The soup tastes sour and fresh, and it is very appetizing. Remember to stir-fry the tomatoes and make the soup taste good.
Conclusion: When the National Day meets Double Ninth Festival, I made 2 dishes and 1 soup to invite my neighbors to have a meal together. Netizens say that home-cooked meals are delicious, and I will have a free meal wherever my home is. What do you think? I wish all the elderly in the world a happy holiday with their own support and care.
