Shredded cold lettuce

Spring is so short. I just felt the warmth of spring. The temperature suddenly turned from warm to hot. The smell of around 30 degrees reminds us all the time that summer is coming. As the weather gets hotter, there are more and more cold dishes on the table, and the habit of our Chinese people is that the mellow sesame oil is the most flavorful when it comes to cold dishes. Put a little on it, and the house will be filled with fragrance, and the smell will increase your appetite. There are many kinds of sesame oil on the market, but I prefer Arowana’s fragrant sesame oil, which is made from 100% sesame seeds. It smells good and tastes good. I once watched a TV program that introduced the oil pressing process. There are really many processes, especially the process of sterilization and aflatoxin removal. That is not something ordinary small workshops can do. Only big manufacturers have the strength to do it. Therefore, I trust the quality of the oil from well-known manufacturers. The sesame oil I eat at home all year round is from Arowana, so I feel safe to eat it. Today, I will use the fragrant sesame oil of Arowana to mix a piece of lettuce. Simple ingredients and simple methods highlight the original flavor of the ingredients, which is especially suitable for summer diet. After making this recipe, I feel that it is more in line with the requirements of a family banquet dish. The addition of the word "banquet" clearly distinguishes it from a home-cooked dish. Although it is only a one-word difference, the cooking steps, especially the plating, are a lot more particular. Sometimes it is still the same home-cooked dish, but the plating is more particular, and it suddenly looks very different, like this cold shredded lettuce. Isn't this very family banquet style? !

【Ningbo】Shrimp Spring Rolls

Traditional spring roll wrappers are made with slightly thicker batter. Usually in the market, there is a small bench, a handful of dough, and a small stove.

The dough will be shaken for a moment by the side of the pot, and then quickly rubbed and pulled on the bottom of the pot, and a round cake skin will be spread out as thin as a cicada's wings. The production of spring roll skins has requirements on the water ratio, dough time and production skills. So it’s difficult to make high-quality spring roll wrappers at home. In fact, my mother in my hometown also makes spring roll wrappers every Spring Festival, but the taste of spring roll wrappers made at home is still slightly worse than those bought at home.

Entering spring and recalling mother’s taste – two-color shepherd’s purse pot stickers

Life is getting better and better, and we eat more and more big fish and meat. However, it is always difficult to bring up our appetite, and I always miss those hard-working meals from my childhood. The most impressive thing is that there is always a wild vegetable on the spring table - shepherd's purse. With that special natural fragrance of dust, no vegetable or wild vegetable can represent the taste of spring better than it. In the spring of her childhood, she could be found everywhere in the fields with a bamboo basket. She would always pick up a full basket, and go home and light a kerosene lamp. She would hold her head in her hands and watch with wide eyes as her mother made various delicacies, such as shepherd's purse cakes, shepherd's purse stewed tofu, shepherd's purse dumplings, shepherd's purse steamed buns, etc. The most unforgettable thing is the crispy shepherd's purse pot stickers. It was her who accompanied us through difficult springs one after another. It is also the various ways of eating shepherd's purse that my mother made that gave me a desire to explore food since I was a child. In order to learn how to cook food, when I was 7 years old, when my mother was not at home, I lit a fire and made a fragrant pot of shepherd's purse pot stickers and waited for my parents to come home as a surprise. As a result, the shepherd's purse pot stickers were not made, and the big tile-roofed house was burned to the ground. Haha, children, please don’t imitate me. If you want to learn, you must have a parent beside you for guidance and safety precautions.

Shepherd's Purse Spring Rolls

After the Spring Festival, although vegetable prices have dropped somewhat compared to the Spring Festival, they are still higher than before the Spring Festival. When I was shopping, I noticed a sign on the vegetable stall in front of me saying, “Wild vegetables, three yuan per pound.” I was not surprised at the price, but most people know that all wild vegetables (also called shepherd’s purse) themselves grow in the wild. Shepherd's purse is rich in nutrients and is a popular seasonal vegetable in spring. It can prevent cancer, promote gastrointestinal motility, relieve night blindness, anticoagulant, lower blood pressure and other effects. But for shepherd's purse, it brings back memories of my childhood. When we were young, we lived in factory dormitories and walked to school for nearly thirty minutes. We passed villages, bamboo forests, and fields along the way, so our happiest time was after school. Playing hide-and-seek with our friends through the bamboo forest, and flying kites in the wild were all our happy little games. Of course, we also had to dig vegetables from the ground. It was also something we often did in the spring. Taking it home and letting my mother cook it, the taste seemed to come to our hearts. . . Spring is the season for eating shepherd's purse. It is usually stuffed, wrapped in spring rolls, and eaten at the beginning of spring. On March 3rd, when the cauliflower is old, boil eggs. It is said that it can prevent headaches. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask the vendor to weigh a pound. The spring rolls in the south are completely different from those in the north. The spring rolls in the north are more appropriately called spring pancakes, but the spring rolls in the south are different. They are made of a thin layer of pancake, filled with fillings, wrapped up, and fried in oil until golden brown.

When I was preparing to make radish salad today, I found that the leaves were many times fresher than usual, and they were also very clean. My grandparents usually like to chop and fry minced meat, but I don’t like eating it that way, so today I decided to make pancakes to change the weird taste. Radish leaves are pungent, bitter, and mild in nature and flavor, and enter the spleen and stomach meridians to help digestion, regulate qi, resolve phlegm, and relieve cough. Radish leaves contain a lot of carotene. The vitamin A content per 100 grams is 1400IU, which is more than three times the 400IU of the same amount of broccoli. The calcium content is 238 mg per 100 grams, which is more than four times the 56 mg of spinach.

Street food in childhood memories-----Spring rolls

Although I occasionally eat spring rolls now. For example, today I bought some spring roll wrappers, but when I talk about spring rolls, it feels like a distant and beautiful memory from my childhood. The material conditions at that time were definitely not as good as today. For children, spring rolls were a delicious and cheap snack. There was always an aunt selling spring rolls in the city park. We, the children, gathered around a big pot of vegetables and watched her. Various vegetable shreds are mixed with delicious seasonings, then rolled into spring rolls and handed to us. The sweet vinegar is poured by ourselves. The vegetables in the spring rolls must be mixed as they are sold, so as to maintain the crispness of the vegetables to the greatest extent and give you the best taste when eating. After arriving in Wuhan, I found that the spring rolls were actually deep-fried and contained meat. I was very surprised because Sichuan spring rolls are completely vegetarian and wrapped with various shredded vegetables, such as shredded carrots, shredded white radish, shredded kelp, etc. Another vegetable that is often added is stone flower, which is crunchy and I like it very much.

After all, the ones she buys are not as safe as those made at home. And making spring rolls by yourself makes the New Year atmosphere even more intense. The fried spring rolls made by Zerui’s mother today still retain the basic recipe, but slightly changed the fillings, using bean sprouts, shredded chicken, carrots and leeks, which symbolize good luck, good fortune, prosperity and longevity, and have beautiful meanings.

It can be seen that the folk custom of making spring pancakes and eating spring pancakes in spring has a long history. Nowadays, there are many proverbs about spring rolls, such as a roll does not make spring, spring rolls in Longshengtang are not people inside and outside, etc. The meaning of spring here is a good omen of spring. At the same time, because the shape and color of spring rolls are similar to gold bars (gold bars), they have another meaning - gold. There are spring rolls all over the country.

Yangchun Noodles

Yangchun noodles, also known as smooth noodles, clear soup noodles, and white soup noodles, refer to a kind of noodles without any ingredients and only soup. It is common in Jiangsu Province and Shanghai area of China. It is cheap and takes no time to eat, which are the main reasons for its popularity. There are generally no restrictions on the noodles used to cook this kind of noodles. They can be as thin as longxu noodles or as thick as wide noodles. The origin of the word "Yangchun" is explained in "Cihai": the tenth month of the lunar calendar is Xiaoyangchun, and the lingo in the market uses "Yangchun" to represent ten. "Wuzazu Tian" written by the Ming Dynasty said: It is the light of heaven and earth. It is cold in April, but warm in October. There are peach and plum blossoms, which is commonly known as Xiaoyangchun. It can be seen from this that the tenth month of the lunar calendar is also called Xiaoyangchun, so it further extends the meaning of Yangchun as ten. When Yangchun noodles first came on the market, the price was exactly ten cents a bowl. The good people named the ten cents bowl of smooth noodles as Yangchun noodles, because ten cents and the tenth month of the lunar calendar were both ten cents.

Keep the vegetable juice, do not pour it away. It has been determined that more than 60% of the vitamins in Chinese cabbage and celery will be lost after the juice is removed. In order to avoid nutritional loss and waste, the scientific method is: never pour out the squeezed vegetable juice. When mixing the meat, add it to the meat filling bit by bit, stirring while adding. The meat filling can evenly absorb the vegetable juice and make the meat smooth. Then add the vegetables and mix well. Use this dumpling filling to make dumplings. The soup will not flow when making the dumplings.

Adding some black fungus and shredded winter bamboo shoots adds a richer taste and balanced nutrition. , now there are frozen skins sold in supermarkets, so it is no longer a delicacy that can only be tasted during the Chinese New Year like before, but can be eaten all year round.

Stir-fried shredded lettuce

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and everything tastes tasteless, so just make an appetizer! Lettuce is a good dish. It tastes better when eaten cold than stir-fried; it is crisper and has more texture.

Hibiscus bean buns--when they bloom in spring

The colorful steamed buns look the most appetizing. The outer shell of the bean bun here is mixed with rosella water. In fact, carrot juice also works well. I like to cook my own bean paste filling, it tastes better than the ones sold outside.

【Shandong】Children’s version of spring cakes

Every year at the beginning of spring, people will bake their own spring cakes to express their greetings and blessings. Spring dishes and spring cakes can relieve spring difficulties and avoid dental diseases. After eating spring dishes and spring cakes, it means that the harsh winter is gone and the colorful spring is coming. Most spring pancakes are rolled into thin pancakes with hot noodles and then cooked in a pan. Pancakes are also a technical job, and it is not easy to master them. Later, I don’t know who invented the steaming method. After trying it, it tastes very good, with almost zero failure rate. It tastes soft and chewy without feeling dry. Our children don’t like green vegetables, so we make spring pancakes green, which are both nutritious and beautiful. Finally, we roll them with the vegetables our children love, and use carrots to make some beautiful flowers. Then there are some cute little bees buzzing around the flowers. Do you feel the breath of spring immediately? Look, spring is already waving to us.
