Chapter 231 Curly Leaf Flower

"When slicing, whether it is a thick slice or a thin slice, as long as it is uniform. Hold the potato with one hand like this, and hold the knife with the other hand to cut it down. Don't hesitate to cut it down, otherwise the middle of the cut potato slices will be hard. It is different from the beginning, and the thickness of the upper and lower ends will be different."

After Ping An finished cutting the potato slices in twos and twos, he started to walk back and forth to check how their potato slices were doing.Finally, I inspected a circle, and then returned to the podium to start the next step.

"Okay, I just took a look. Everyone's cutting is better than I thought, but I still need more practice." Ping An encouraged everyone, and then started the next step.

"Next, let's shred the sliced ​​potatoes." Pingan showed everyone the key points of shredding, and the people below followed suit.

"The shredded potatoes must be washed several times in the water, so that the excess starch can be filtered out before frying so that they don't stick to the pan."

Ping An took out the pot next to it and put it on the fire. After heating, pour the oil, put the dried chili and scallion until fragrant, then pour in the shredded potatoes and stir fry, pour a little vinegar, and add salt when it comes out of the pot After seasoning, a plate of hot and sour potato shreds with golden color and tangy aroma is ready.

"Okay, I have explained the key points of each step just now, you can start practicing now, your task today is to make a plate of qualified hot and sour potato shreds."

When the others heard the words of peace, they began to get busy.Ping An watched them practice, and immediately pointed out any mistakes for them to correct.

With Ping An's close guidance, the hot and sour potato shreds they made were at least not bad.However, they tasted the hot and sour potato shreds fried by Ping An. In contrast, they thought their own cooking was quite delicious, but they immediately saw the difference.

But after they made their achievements, Ping An felt that they were really good after tasting them one by one.It was the first time she could do this, and she really had a good vision.The ones who were singled out had real talent for cooking, and with time they're bound to get better.

After finishing a class, Ping An had time to take a rest.Unexpectedly, class is quite tiring, even more tiring than her recording a program.But being able to see the progress of those students with her own eyes gave her a sense of accomplishment.

After class, Ping An checked Zhinao and found a message from Zhao Lie, saying that he wanted to make an appointment with her for the next shooting time.After Ping An confirmed the time with him, he went home and started preparing for the shooting.

……

"Welcome everyone to watch the new episode of Dream Kitchen. Today, let's learn a simple and delicious healthy dish—boiled curly curly." Curl curly is a green plant that looks a bit like kale. But there is a flower on each of them, and those leaves are rolled up like rose petals, and the flowers bloom in the middle of the leaves, so this kind of vegetable is called curly leaf flower.

It also tastes very good, the leaves are a little crunchy, the stem is full of juice, it tastes like a bag is full of water, biting down, the bag is broken, The water inside overflowed all at once, bringing the unique aroma of this dish in the mouth, which is very amazing.

And its flowers are even more amazing. When Ping An tried it, he tasted jasmine.It was the fragrance of jasmine that she smelled in the summer evening breeze when she was a child, and she fell in love with curly leaf flowers as soon as she took a bite.And she tried to make tea after picking the flowers, dehydrating them and drying them, and the fragrance of the jasmine became more intense, even better than the jasmine tea she had ever drunk.So when Ping An heard that Zhao Lie said that she was going to record a new episode of the show, she chose to recommend curly leaf flowers as an ingredient without hesitation.

"First remove the petals of the curly flowers, wash the leaves and stems, and then boil them in water. You can add some salt and oil to the water, so that the cooked curly flowers are more green in color and look fresh and tender. People have more appetite."

Ping An took out the boiled curly flowers and put them on a plate, then said to the camera, "Next, the most important part of making this boiled cabbage is to adjust the sauce."

"Soak dried chilies and peppercorns in cold boiled water, about the amount. I soaked this before, and soaked it for about 20 to 30 minutes. Pour about this amount of soy sauce into an empty bowl , add the water soaked in dried chili and Chinese prickly ash just now and stir well. Because this dish is relatively light, we will not add salt here. Friends who like heavy mouth can taste it, and if you think the salt is light, you can add some more.”

After showing this series of steps to the camera, Ping An put down the bowl in his hand and continued to the camera, "The next step is to start the fire, no need to pour oil, when the pot is hot, just pour the juice that has just been mixed Put it in a pot and boil."

After 1 minute, the juice boiled, and Pingan turned off the fire and said, "Okay, now the juice has boiled, let's pour this directly into the plate just set up, such a healthy and delicious boiled Curly leaves are ready."

After showing the freshly made boiled curly flowers to the camera, Ping An continued to say to the camera, "This dish is ready, but have you noticed a problem? When I was handling the curly leaves just now, I put Every flower that bloomed on it has been picked off, so someone must ask, does this flower have any effect?"

Ping An intentionally made a fool of himself before saying, "That's right, I found a good way to eat this flower, and now I'm going to recommend it to everyone."

Ping An took the dried flowers that had been prepared before, picked up a few and stretched them towards the camera, and Xiao Lu also tacitly took a close-up of the dried flowers.Then she introduced, "This is what I dried the curly-leaved flower. Don't doubt it, it didn't use the dehydration function, but dried it slowly in the sun. In this way, the water in the flower evaporates. After that, the aroma of the flowers will become more intense. Take out three or four capsules and put them in a cup, pour some boiling water to brew, wait a few minutes, the flowers will fully bloom in the cup, and the flower tea with the fragrance of flowers is ready. After taking a sip, the fragrance will linger on the lips and teeth, very delicious."

After Ping An introduced the usage of this dried flower, he gave everyone a concluding remark.

"For those who are interested, please try to make this dish and this scented tea at home. Well, that's the end of this program. See you next time."

After waving at the screen, Ping An exhaled, greeted Zhao Lie and Xiao Lu, and went offline.
