Chapter 660 Dessert dish made with lotus seeds - first-grade lotus seeds! Have you ever eaten pot dumplings? 【Please subscribe】

Is sauerkraut and white meat hotpot considered a high-end dish?

Netizens are a little curious, but considering that every dish in the high-end Northeastern cuisine series is super classic, this pickled cabbage and white meat hot pot should not be simple either.

After all, Boss Lin added an attributive in front of it - Marshal's Mansion.

At that time, Zhang Zuolin dominated the Northeast, and he was the well-deserved king of the Northeast, both politically and militarily.

The sauerkraut and white meat hot pot they eat must not be simple, right?

With such questions, everyone is full of expectations for the next episode. Pickled cabbage and white meat are often eaten. If you can learn how to make hot pot, it will definitely be very enjoyable.

"You won't keep us waiting too long this time, right?"

After seeing the comments from netizens, Lin Xu thought about it and replied seriously:

"No, I will definitely let you see me within a week."

After replying to the message, he closed his laptop and put it into his computer bag, then went downstairs and drove to the car show.

Today is the weekend, and there are more people going to see the car. As the promotion ambassador of Maxari, he has to go over to support the brand. After all, he has collected money and has to do something.

The family of three was at the car show throughout the weekend.

On Sunday evening, the auto show finally came to an end.

Lin Xu took Shen Jiayue and Dundun off work and drove directly home instead of going to the store.

There was no time for leisure during the entire auto show. The whole family was so busy that they were exhausted. Now that it was finally over, it was natural to go back and have a good rest.

After arriving home, Dundun did not go to the sofa to watch cartoons. Instead, she went upstairs along the stairs, jumped onto the cat castle, hugged her pillow and fell asleep.

Shen Jiayue glanced at the door and asked Lin Xu in a low voice:

"Dundun, what's going on?"

"You must be tired. I have been busy for so many days and can't rest during the day. I have to watch cartoons when I get home in the evening. It's unbearable for a person to spin around like this, let alone a cat."

Lin Xu did not disturb the little guy, but went upstairs with Shen Jiayue.

First he looked at Cai Miao, then at a door on the wall next to him.

This is a door that Chen Yan asked the decoration workers to open during the recent renovation. After moving in, the two families can visit each other, which is more convenient.

Lin Xu took the key, locked the door, and added a lock to the door bolt.

My sister-in-law and her husband haven't moved in yet, so it's better to be careful, lest the decoration workers touch this area.

In addition to this door, the rooftop door will also be re-locked to prevent others from taking advantage of it.

As the weather gets warmer, the vegetable seedlings on the balcony are growing very vigorously. From a distance, they even look lush and lush, but up close, they are almost boring.

These seedlings are still too small, and the spacing between them is too wide. If you want the feeling of vibrant green plants, you have to continue to grow.

After looking around on the balcony, he locked the door and went downstairs to prepare dinner.

"Baby, what do you want to eat for dinner?"

The store has packed lunches every day recently, so the young couple did not go back and planned to cook at home. Anyway, they have all the ingredients at home, so it is no problem to make dinner.

Shen Jiayue now put on cartoon home clothes, sat cross-legged on the sofa and painted her white feet with nail polish. After listening to Lin Xu's words, she tilted her head and thought seriously for a moment, and then said:

"I don't have much appetite. I don't want to have dinner, but I want to eat some sweets...Xubao, can you make me some lotus seeds or something? The lotus seed soup I just watched on the video is so tempting, I'm drooling. "

Lotus seeds?

Lin Xu didn't expect that the good baby wanted to eat this. He thought for a while and said:

"Okay, I'll make you some lotus seeds. It's a dessert dish...don't you want to eat anything but lotus seeds?"

"I don't really want to... I don't want to think about it yet. Let's talk about it after I finish eating the lotus seeds... First-grade lotus seeds, right? The name sounds good at first sight. I have to show it off in the group later."

She stopped applying nail polish and blew on the painted big toe. Then she immediately put the nail polish away and put it in the small drawer of the coffee table. Then she picked up her phone and sent a message to Moments:

"Does any kind-hearted person know what the first lotus seed tastes like? My Xubao is going to make it for me, but I have never tasted it. I want to know what it tastes like so that I can be mentally prepared."

Chen Yan immediately responded with a vomiting expression:

"It smells like trampled bed bugs. It's really unpalatable. Tell my brother-in-law to stop working."

"Yan Bao, believe it or not, on the day of your wedding, I will post the sad text you posted on QQ space when you were in junior high school to open everyone's eyes?"

Chen Yan immediately gave in:

"I'm kidding you, why don't you have any sense of humor? First-grade lotus seeds must be delicious. First-grade tofu is so delicious, but lotus seeds will be even more delicious."

Mr. Chen is indeed a businessman, and he has brought out the essence of flexibility and flexibility to the extreme.

The two sisters were bickering in the comment area when their mother Han Shuzhen suddenly sent a message:

"Cook more lotus seeds. I'll go to your house to try them later... By the way, Yueyue, what are you guys having for dinner? Your Aunt Liu has a rest today, and your dad and I are going to have a meal."

Eat for free?

Shen Jiayue wrinkled her nose and shouted to the kitchen:

"Xubao, make more lotus seeds. Mom and dad are coming to eat, so let's make some dinner. I'm afraid of mom scolding me for eating lotus seeds alone."

In the eyes of the elders, if you only eat desserts for dinner, you are either not getting enough nutrients or eating too sweet, which is not good for your health.

So before they come to your door, make some other delicacies to avoid being nagged.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu was pouring lotus seeds out of the sealed jar. After hearing this, he immediately poured some more.

These lotus seeds were given to them by Mi Lan a few years ago, and they were picked from the lotus pond in the Ginkgo Garden. However, no one was specifically responsible for this at that time, so the quantity was not very large.

This year, Mr. and Mrs. Lao Shang will be able to pick a lot of lotus pods. When the time comes to dry them, they will all be delicious lotus seeds.

Dried lotus seeds are in shell, which is difficult to clean and needs to be cooked.

Lin Xu put these lotus seeds into the pot, added half the pot of water, then added a small spoonful of alkaline noodles, and cooked over high heat.

The purpose of adding alkaline noodles is to soften the shell of the lotus seeds, making it easier to peel them out.

After cooking, Lin Xu began to prepare the ingredients needed to make first-class lotus seeds.

There are pork net oil, old rock sugar, water starch, yam, red dates, melon seeds and other ingredients.

While cooking the lotus seeds, Lin Xu blanched the pork net oil in boiling water, then cut the yam into sections and put them in the steaming cabinet for steaming.

In this delicacy, the yam serves as a rim, so you don’t need too much.

As for red dates, melon seeds and the like, they are for decoration, the quantity is smaller, just a few are enough.

Boil the water for boiling the lotus seeds, turn off the heat, soak the lotus seeds in the boiling water until soft, take them out and then peel them.

After doing this, he started to prepare dinner.

Today, the good baby has no appetite, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law are coming again. Lin Xu thought about it and planned to make a famous delicacy in the central Central Plains - pot dumplings.

The so-called pot dumplings are based on the sour soup dumplings, and some freshly fried vegetarian meatballs are added. They are prepared and served in a thermally insulated earthen pot. When eaten, they are eaten with the sour soup and dumplings, which are sour and refreshing. It is appetizing and gives people a hearty feeling.

Thinking of this, he immediately brought a basin, added some flour to it, and kneaded it with light salt water to form a slightly harder dough.

Set the dough aside to rest.

Then I fried some eggs and deliberately crushed them when frying to make it easier to adjust the filling.

After finishing these tasks, he selected the leeks and put them aside. He also took out some chilled prawns from the refrigerator, preparing to peel them out later and mix them into the dumpling fillings.

The ingredients for making dumplings are ready, and the lotus seeds are almost ready.

Lin Xu took it out with a slotted spoon and put it in a basin. Then he started peeling the lotus seeds while they were still hot. He peeled off the skin of the lotus seeds one by one, and then carefully poked out the lotus heart with a toothpick.

Lotus seeds have a relatively bitter taste, so this step is indispensable when making lotus seed dishes.

While they were busy, Shen Jiayue came in and saw Lin Xu playing with lotus seeds. She reached out to help, but was stopped by Lin Xu:

"I just touched my feet. Go and wash your hands thoroughly before coming back to the kitchen."

Shen Jiayue pouted:

"It's not dirty... I'm going to wash my hands, can you teach me how to make a lotus seed?"

Lin Xu shook his head and refused:

"This dish is not something you can make at this stage, so you might as well save it. But when our parents come here later, I can teach you how to make dumplings. Today we will eat canned dumplings, which you have never eaten before."

A simple sentence like "You haven't eaten it before" stirred up Shen Jiayue's soul:

"Canned dumplings? Is this delicious?"

"Yes, it's especially suitable for babies who have a poor appetite and don't like to eat dinner. Do you want to try it later?"

"Okay, okay, but when I lose my appetite, you can make me this appetizing delicacy...Xubao, are you looking forward to me growing up to be a little chubby?"

Lin Xu smiled:

"You exercise so much that you won't gain weight. Instead, I'm worried that you don't have enough nutrition... Go wash your hands. Don't think you can hide the fact that you just touched your feet by changing the subject."

"Tch, this girl comes from the nine heavens, she is pure and innocent. How could you, a mere mortal, despise her... If you can, don't hold me to sleep at night!"

Lin Xu: "..."

I really don’t have this ability. After all, I have a sweet-smelling, soft and good baby to hold in my arms at night, and I can wake up laughing even in my dreams. How can I give up this kind of treatment?

At the call of delicious food, Shen Jiayue went to the sink next to the kitchen and carefully washed her hands with hand sanitizer. She even smelled them after washing, as if she was checking carefully.

But after smelling it twice, I finally realized:

"My feet don't stink, they don't smell at all, okay?"

Lin Xu peeled out all the lotus seeds, and then brought a slightly flatter steaming bowl.

Spread the blanched pork net oil on the bottom of the bowl, place the cleaned lotus seeds, sprinkle with crushed rock sugar, and cover the top with a layer of pork net oil.

Finally, pour a spoonful of hot water into it.

Open the steaming cabinet, take out the steamed yam inside, put the arranged lotus seeds in, and start steaming.

"Wow, there are yams? How do you eat them? Dip them in sugar?"

Lin Xu shook his head:

"For garnishing the lotus seeds."

After that, he peeled the yam, put it in a bowl, added some sugar, and pounded it into a puree. Then he took a clean large plate and put the pureed yam in it to make a square rim.

This dish has various shapes, and the edges can be made into circles, ovals, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, etc., with a high degree of freedom.

Lin Xu didn't put so much thought into it and made it into a square.

The entire perimeter looks like a model of a city, and with the plate, it looks like a huge copper coin. My father-in-law will probably like it very much when he sees it.

While I was busy, a voice came from the door of the kitchen:

"Meow~~~~~"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue quickly walked over and held the little guy in her arms:

"What's wrong, baby? Are you hungry?"

"Meow!"

She must be hungry. Shen Jiayue took out a piece of dried fish from the cupboard, tore it into pieces with her hands, put it on a plate, and brought it to the little guy:

"Baby, please rest your head first, and mommy will steam the meat for you."

Dundun hummed softly and rubbed Shen Jiayue with her big head, then lowered her head and started eating the dried fish.

"Xubao, what should I give Dundun to eat today?"

"Eat the shrimps... For those chilled prawns, pick a few big ones and blanch them, then fish them out and peel the shrimps for Dundun to eat."

The adults can make do with it, but the cat cannot be wronged and must feed it as well as possible. After all, the little guy made a lot of money at this car show.

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"Do you want to put the egg yolk in?"

"Don't put it in this time. The quality of these prawns is good. There's no need to add egg yolk... It's just a good time for you to experience the use of shrimp eye water."

To make boiled prawns, you cannot boil the water, but the shrimp eye water at about 70 degrees is best.

The chefs all knew this, but Shen Jiayue didn't understand it at all, so Lin Xu planned to teach it on the spot.

While talking, he cut the red dates into plum blossom shapes and placed them outside the yam paste to add color to the dish and make it look brighter.

Shen Jiayue went to the stove next to her and started boiling water. When the shrimp eyes were boiling, Lin Xu reminded:

"Turn down the heat, add the prawns and start boiling them. Just wait until the prawns completely change color and fish them out."

"Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple. I'll teach you how to dip it in the sauce later, and you can take photos of the dish of boiled prawns by yourself."

"Okay, okay, I was just planning to take photos of another dish. Thank you Xu Bao!"

Lin Xu felt relieved when he saw that the girl had cooked the shrimps without any danger.

After Shen Jiayue peeled the shrimps and brought them to Dundun, Mr. and Mrs. Shen also came. They were probably worried that they would have no ingredients at home, so they bought some seafood in the supermarket at the door.

"Xiao Xu, what should we eat today?"

"You can try the pot dumplings from the Central Plains region later."

As soon as he heard about eating dumplings, Lao Shen became interested.

But thinking of his weight loss plan, he took the initiative and said:

"Just do less, I can't eat more, I have to lose weight."

Since you plan to change your mind, you have to start with every meal.

However, Director Han exposed him ruthlessly:

"Okay, okay, you ate a lot in the Ginkgo Garden yesterday. Didn't you wrap up all the leftover mutton? Don't think I didn't see it when I went to feed Xiaobai."

Old Shen grinned:

“I’ve been afraid of poverty since I was a kid, so I don’t want to waste food.”

While talking, the lotus seeds in the steaming cabinet have been steamed.

As soon as Lin Xu opened the cabinet door, a very comfortable and sweet smell floated out from inside.

Han Shuzhen was a little moved when she smelled the smell:

"Is this a first-grade lotus seed? It smells delicious."

Lin Xu took the steaming bowl out. The old rock sugar had completely melted, the lotus seeds had been steamed through, and even the pork net oil covering the surface had melted and disappeared.

He took a small slotted spoon, fished out the lotus seeds in the bowl, and placed them on the rim in the middle of the plate.

As for the sweet soup left at the bottom of the bowl, pour it into a stainless steel pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Then add some water starch to turn the soup into a thick honey sauce.

Finally, pour it on the lotus seeds on the plate, and sprinkle a handful of cooked melon seeds, and the whole dish is completed.

With the garnish of honey juice, the surface of the lotus seeds is shiny, and the sweet fragrance makes people appetite immediately after smelling it.

Shen Jiayue took a photo with her mobile phone and immediately sent it to her circle of friends:

"Here comes the first-grade lotus seeds. There will also be jars of dumplings later. I originally said we would have something simple to eat, but who knew that with a husband who knows how to cook, it won't be simple at all. It's so annoying~"

After showing off, the girl took the plate and went out to eat with Han Shuzhen.

Lao Shen also came over and took a big spoonful from the plate in the name of tasting. On the surface, he was trying to lose weight, but when he saw the delicious food, he was more positive than anyone else.

"Wow, these lotus seeds are delicious, fragrant and sweet."

"That's right, I didn't expect to be able to do this. Lao Shen, please eat less. It's full of lard and sugar, and it's very high in calories."

"I'm just going to taste it. There will be dumplings later, so I won't eat something so sweet...but it tastes really good...I'll have another bite."

Shen Jiayue scooped up a spoonful, put it to her mouth and blew on it, then came to the kitchen and fed it to Lin Xu who had just mixed the dumpling filling.

"Try Xu Bao, it's delicious!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a message alert came from her phone.

"If I guessed correctly, it must have been sent by Yan Bao, planning to add this dish to the wedding banquet... She has been looking for a lot of dishes for her wedding banquet in the past two days. It feels like it is not a wedding, but a food exhibition. "

Lin Xu chewed the lotus seeds in his mouth and said with a smile:

"It's this once in a lifetime, and it must be perfect."

This lotus seed is really good. It tastes very good and has a good aroma and sweetness. It is worthy of being a palace dish.

Lin Xu sighed, took out the dough and started rolling it out.

After rolling out the dumpling wrappers, Mr. and Mrs. Shen also came over to help wrap them.

People who grew up in the north may not know how to mix stuffing or roll out the dough, but they basically know how to make dumplings, because it is normal for families to join hands in making dumplings during festivals.

After the dumpling wrappers were rolled out, Lin Xu did not help wrap the dumplings. Instead, he took a green radish, washed it, peeled it and cut it into shreds.

Put shredded radish into a basin, sprinkle a handful of salt to remove the water.

Then wash it again and squeeze the water gently, but it doesn't need to be too dry.

Sprinkle salt, five-spice powder, green onion and ginger water, pepper water and chopped chives into the shredded radish, then add a small bowl of mung bean starch and stir into a thicker batter.

When fried like this, they become mung bean noodle balls, which are also a common ingredient for sour soup balls.

In fact, pot dumplings are a delicacy that combines sour soup dumplings and sour soup meatballs. However, the shape of the crock pot is more unique, and it is more popular because you can experience two delicacies in one dish.

While Lin Xu was busy preparing meatballs, Shen Jiayue looked at Dundun who was full and drunk, and asked curiously:

"Baby, why are you a little sluggish today? If you have anything on your mind, tell Mommy, and Mommy will help you solve it."

Dundun raised his head and glanced at his mother, and then he snorted, as if nothing was wrong. He came to the sofa, pushed the pillow down, and then lay on it and closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time, on the top of the Longqishan Scenic Area.

A group of tourists who followed the trend and came to burn incense saw a jade carving of a cat placed next to the statue and said curiously:

"Eh? This cat looks like Dundun?"

"Just... say goodbye quickly, maybe you can get rich."

"Yes, I have worshiped so many gods I don't know, and now I have to worship even more when I meet the ones I know!"

In this way, a group of people bought some incense, lit it, and bowed devoutly to the statue of Dundun, praying silently in their hearts...
