Chapter 243 Pork ribs, lotus root slices, yam soup
After reading the theoretical knowledge for a while, it was almost time for dinner, Meng Chuan said: "You read the book here first, and then go to the canteen when you get to the meal, and I will go over to make some medicinal diet for you to regulate and condition your body." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Duan You smiled: "Lao Li, you go quickly, I can't wait to eat the food you cooked." ”
came to the canteen of the agency, and saw that everyone was also busy, Meng Chuan didn't bother everyone, and directly found Uncle Liu to explain the situation, Uncle Liu nodded after listening to it and said: "Okay, I've been worried about Duan You's body for a while, you said that he became a major at such a young age, he is already very powerful, but he still fights so hard, it's really uncommon, this time you must give him a good conditioning body, don't let his body collapse, what ingredients do you need, just tell me, I can get it for you." ”
Meng Chuan said: "Actually, there is no need for any ingredients, they are very common, lotus root, celery, yam, red dates, and peanuts are enough." ”
These are indeed some common ingredients, Uncle Liu nodded, and said, "I'll get it for you later, is there anything else you need my help with?" ”
Meng Chuan smiled, "Don't bother Uncle Liu, make a soup, you don't need any skills, and it's about to start, you're also very busy, I can do it alone." ”
"Alright, if you need anything, just tell me."
Soon Meng Chuan got the ingredients, among these ingredients, the lotus root contains a lot of tannins, which has the effect of constricting blood vessels and is better at stopping bleeding.
Yam is a good ingredient for the kidneys. Red dates have the effect of producing blood.
Peanuts are long-lived fruits, and many trace elements in them are very good for the body.
Celery has the effect of diuresis and swelling, calming the liver and lowering blood pressure, nourishing blood and replenishing deficiency, so Meng Chuan plans to use these ingredients to make a lotus root yam soup and give them a few people to make up for their bodies.
But after preparing the ingredients, Meng Chuan found that he was a little under-considered, these are all vegetarians, Duan You are all young and strong young men, just eating these vegetarian ones, although they seem to be very replenishing to the body, but they can't eat enough, they have to get them some meat.
Meat is simple and simple, such as stews made in a big pot, they are all real hard dishes, what konjac stew, potatoes and roast chicken, one is stronger than the other, but no, Duan You Although they need energy now, they still can't eat too greasy, it's best to eat stewed meat.
Meng Chuan thought about it, only pork ribs are the most suitable, pork ribs lotus root and yam soup, which is nutritious and tastes good.
So I went and got a large piece of ribs and started chopping them.
As for the lotus root and yam, slice them first and soak them in water for a while, so that they will taste more crispy.
After the ingredients are ready, Meng Chuan began to make them, it is best not to stew dishes with lotus root in an iron pot, so that the soup will turn black, in fact, if you make soup, casserole is undoubtedly the best choice.
The cooking utensils in the back kitchen of the canteen are very complete, Meng Chuan found a large casserole and began to add water to heat it.
When the pork ribs are boiled in the soup, they have to go through the water, so that the blood can be filtered out, so that the taste of the soup is more positive.
There is always hot water in the kitchen, and after Meng Chuan blanched the water, the water in the casserole boiled, and it was just right to pour the ribs into the casserole and start stewing.
If you make soup, especially if you have a lot of vegetarian dishes, it is by no means that the longer you boil, the more nutritious it is, which is different from cooking old hen soup, if the vegetarian soup is too long, it will lose nutrients, so it is best not to exceed two hours.
Meng Chuan began to calculate the time from the time he put down the ribs, usually when we make soup, we can put some ginger and garlic slices to improve the taste, but because Duan You is conditioning his body now, it is best not to eat spicy, so he will not let it go.
And they all say that they eat ginger in the morning and tonic soup, and ginger and arsenic in the evening. This is also very reasonable, drink some ginger soup in the morning, you can be refreshed all day, if you drink it at night, it is not conducive to sleep, sleep is the best way for a person to rest, once insomnia, people will not only have no energy, the spirit will also be in a trance.
It was already dinner, and Meng Chuan couldn't add ginger and other spices to Duan You, once he couldn't sleep well at night, it wouldn't be good.
Cover the pot and start simmering the ribs, you can add peanuts and red dates when simmering the ribs, both of which are resistant to stewing, so it's okay to put them in first, and then simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes.
For celery for stew, Meng Chuan uses celery stalks, celery leaves are not used, and then cut into sections for later use.
Thirty minutes later, the aroma of the pork rib soup has already come out, the aroma of the meat is mixed with the fragrance of red dates, and the light fragrance of peanuts, the taste is really good.
At this time, you can add celery and continue to cook, yam and lotus root slices are very well cooked, so it is best not to cook for too long, otherwise it will not taste crispy and the taste will be much worse.
After boiling for another ten minutes, you can almost add the yam and lotus root slices, and continue to cook for fifteen minutes to get out of the pot.
To make this soup, Meng Chuan didn't put any seasonings, only put some salt when it came out of the pot.
Many people are a little puzzled when they see this soup, it doesn't taste at all, how to drink it.
In fact, this is not the case, the main thing to make this soup is to pay attention to the fragrance of the ingredients themselves, each ingredient has its own taste, especially yam, yam soup, the whole soup will have a trace of stickiness, and the taste will be particularly good.
It is indeed the case, although there are no spices, but the ingredients are boiled out of a faint fragrance, at this time the canteen is basically over, there is no aroma interference of other meals, and the smell is even more intoxicating.
Duan You was also hungry and couldn't stand it, but without Uncle Liu's consent, it was not easy to enter the back kitchen casually, so he shouted through the glass: "Old pick, is the meal ready?" We're all starving to death. ”
Meng Chuan smiled: "Okay, I'll take it out." ”
Put the casserole on the dining cart, and then take a plate of steamed buns, Meng Chuan pushed the dining cart out.
The four of them were already hungry, and when Meng Chuan brought the soup in this casserole, everyone immediately reveled in the fragrance of the soup.
Meng Chuan smiled: "Okay, let's eat it quickly, the soup made today is particularly useful for conditioning your body, and everyone must drink a big bowl." ”
One of the soldiers said with a smile: "Assistant Meng, don't talk about drinking a big bowl, a few of us must have rounded it, I have grown so big, and I have never drunk this kind of fragrant soup, this is the same as seeing a beautiful woman, the beauty with heavy makeup is charming, but it can't compare to the beauty without makeup, after all, pure nature is the most intoxicating." ”
Duan You smiled: "You kid can be analogy, and I will reward you for drinking more bowls of soup." ”
The soldier smiled and said, "Thank you, battalion commander." (To be continued.) )
