Introduction: After 20 days of Zhongfu, we finally ushered in the final period of Dog Days . The last period is the same as the middle period. It is particularly hot at noon every day, so among the people, it is also called the last period. For "Autumn Tiger". The last period of this year is from August 15th to August 24th. After these 10 days, autumn has truly entered. At the turn of summer and autumn, in addition to changes in our work and rest schedules, our eating habits must also change. Change slowly. For example, in the dog days of summer, we should eat more foods that can clear away heat and reduce dryness, so as to make the body healthier. In the dry autumn, we should eat more foods that can clear away heat and reduce dryness.
Among the people, there is a saying that "if you eat a treasure at the end of the day, you will be free from illness for half a year." What is this treasure? How to eat it? In fact, this treasure is lotus root. At the end of each year, I suggest that everyone, rich or not, remember to eat fresh lotus root for your family! Because eating lotus root during the last period of time has the functions of nourishing yin and nourishing the stomach, clearing away heat and internal heat, enhancing appetite, and enhancing immunity, so in my house, I will use lotus root to make various delicacies every other day. The family eats it.
Although many people love to eat lotus root, many people only know how to fry lotus root or stew lotus root soup. In fact, many people are tired of these two methods. Today Master Hu shares with you "Lotus Root Meatballs" The recipe is a special dish in Hubei. The lotus root balls made according to my method are not only soft, glutinous and sweet, but also can be eaten in moderation, and can also stick to autumn fat. Next, I will share with you the recipe of this very good lotus root ball. Everyone! If you still don’t understand anything after reading it, you can always ask me!
[Ingredients preparation]: 1 pound of lotus root, 250 grams of minced meat, 10 grams of chopped green onion, 10 grams of minced ginger, 1 egg, 5 ml of light soy sauce, 2 grams of chicken essence, 2 grams of black pepper, 15 grams of starch, tomato paste 15 grams, appropriate amount of salt and cooking oil.
[Preparation method]:
Step 1: First wash the lotus root and peel it, then chop the lotus root into mung bean-sized particles for later use. Don't chop the lotus roots too small, otherwise the lotus root balls will have no texture at all.
Step 2: Put the minced lotus root, salt, chopped green onion, starch, eggs, minced meat, pepper, light soy sauce, and minced ginger into a basin, and then stir quickly for 2-3 minutes until all the seasonings are combined. Together. If you feel the filling is a little thin after mixing, you can add a little more starch to increase the stickiness of the filling.
Step 3: Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot. When the oil temperature reaches 50%, squeeze the filling into lotus root balls and put them into the pot. Fry the lotus root balls over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. When the lotus root balls are fried to the color as shown below, you can start frying the lotus root balls. Be sure to medium heat first and then change to low heat, because medium heat can shape the lotus root balls, while low heat can fry the lotus root balls thoroughly.
Step 4: Put the fried lotus root balls into the steamer, steam the lotus root balls over high heat for 8 minutes and then serve. Fried lotus root balls can be eaten directly, but autumn is relatively dry, so I recommend that you steam the lotus root balls before eating them.
Step 5: Put a little oil in the pot. When the oil temperature reaches 60%, put the tomato paste and a little water into the pot and bring to a boil. Then pour a little water starch to thicken it, and then thicken it. Pour the tomato juice onto the lotus root balls, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onion, millet pepper and serve.
[Lao Hu has something to say]: The lotus root balls made like mine are soft, glutinous and sweet, and the aftertaste is a little sour. It is the healthiest and most nutritious to eat it at the end of the day. If you don't like tomato sauce, you can use vinegar instead, which tastes great. I hope you can cook more of this dish for your family during this period.
