A lot of me feels like it's a lot more expensive out there than making it at home.
It feels like you can make a big table at home for the cost of ordering one dish outside.
Before I invited friends to dinner, I made a big table. The ingredients a **** cost 200 dollars.
Fried two flavors of lobster, a garlic flavor, a spicy flavor. Lobster then is a large number of listed period, 16 pounds to buy 8 pounds, spent 128. outside the point of a lobster to this price.
A spicy snails, snails 6 yuan a pound, bought 5 pounds of 30 dollars.
A spicy flower armor, flower armor 5.5 a catty, also bought 5 pounds, spent 27.5. night market stalls a flower armor 38. estimated flower armor is only half a catty.
A boiled beans, 10 yuan three pounds, bought 20 yuan six pounds. The night market stall is also a copy of 10 dollars.
Then bought some side dishes. A **** just over 200 points.
Really is every dish is much, much cheaper than outside, and do it yourself is also clean and sanitary.
As a foodie who studies how to eat all day, I'm too vocal about this.
Because I like to eat, but I think it's expensive, in order not to go bankrupt, so I went home and made my own food varieties really quite a lot. Comparison, there is indeed "outside the expensive, home a few dollars to deal with" the situation. Today, I'd like to share it with you.
Milk teaIn summer, milk tea and iced drinks outside the order quantity is straight up. But this is really really expensive ah. Than outside 15 yuan to start, 25 yuan regular milk tea. I've experimented with several recipes myself. It's much cheaper in terms of price, and in terms of health, you can control the amount of sugar. I don't know how to make a particularly complicated recipe, though.
1, the basic ingredients: milk, tea bags. Tea bags this I have tested several kinds, I feel that Lipton's is more suitable, black tea green tea can be. Tea bags also have the advantage of not having to be filtered to maintain the purity and good taste of milk tea.
2, ingredients: sago, pearls, taro balls, honey beans, turtle jelly, pudding, coconut and so on. These can be bought semi-finished. Turtle jelly can be bought in small boxes or powdered, which will solidify when mixed with water.
3. Specialty ingredients: rose, chocolate sauce, jam, Oreo, brown sugar, this category can be developed by yourself.
Basic practice:
1, brew tea bags with water, less water, brew a little thicker. If you especially like to drink milk, directly with milk can also be.
2, add a variety of ingredients, want to add what add what. If you will cook your own sago, do pudding, you can do it yourself (here to write too much, do not write these practices for the time being, you can open another post to write to you).
3, add garnish. For example, sprinkle roses, sprinkle crushed Oreos, put an ice cream ball, can be.
Served in a nice looking glass, it doesn't have to be worse than takeout. You can serve it with breakfast, you can make it for afternoon tea, awesome.
Juice Drinks
Ingredients: various fruits, milk, yogurt, sugar, ice.
Basic practice:
1, juice: buy your own fresh fruit, peeled and cut into small pieces, to the juicer a put, squeezed on the line.
2, milkshake: with milk and fruit, do not add water, so that the juice is thicker. With yogurt is also OK.
3, fruit Smoochies: fruit and yogurt juice, the rest cut into small pieces, added to the juice, you can drink can eat. Lemon, kiwi, strawberries can also be sliced to make decorations.
4, you can also mix a variety of fruits, vegetables can also be, in short, very healthy.
Recipe
1, kiwi + apple + cucumber + honey. This recipe is very refreshing. It is very comfortable to drink in summer.
2. Passion fruit + avocado + milk. Avocado doesn't have much flavor, adding passion fruit makes it very fragrant.
3, lemon + watermelon. Watermelon is the main, lemon juice squeeze a little into add flavor.
4, mango + banana + milk. This can be added to the ice with the hit, hit out is smoothie-like.
5, carrot + orange + Virgin fruit. This juice has a nice color, and the taste is a little light. Carrots have coarse fiber, not if you can not filter it.
6, cantaloupe + grapefruit + apple. This one is really too comfortable, sweet and sour and refreshing.
7, pear + peach + strawberry. Remember to cut diced strawberries and sliced strawberries for decoration.
8, papaya + milk. Classic recipe, without adding anything else is very good.
9, mango + pineapple + milk. Particularly sticky, more greasy, but like to drink really good.
Juice, drinks on the temporary first write these, you must have better than I drink the recipe. Now it's summer, the most suitable for doing this, do it yourself Healthy and hygienic, cheaper than outside. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.
Here are a few of the more complicated ones.
Fruit Cheese Cake
This recently seems to be very red, especially to the durian cake as a representative. There are a lot of Netflix stores to hit, and it's also common on Jitterbug.
Ingredients: durian moderate, flour, milk, cheese, sugar sugar, butter, eggs, yeast.
Practice: 1, flour with water, milk, yeast, egg, butter kneaded into a dough, if there is a pasta machine to use the pasta machine. Leave to ferment for more than an hour.
2, cheese chopped. Stir the durian a little and puree it.
3, cheese, durian and sugar mix well and set aside.
4, the dough rolled thin, wrapped in cheese durian filling. I love cheese, put a little more each time. Wrap it up and press it into the shape of a small cake.
5. If you use the oven, brush the surface of the pie with egg wash and butter, and the crust will come out nice and golden brown.
6. You can also use a skillet and fry the pie in butter until golden brown on both sides.
This pie can also replace the durian with other material fillings. For example, banana, purple potatoes, mango, avocado, mango, and so on. If you want to achieve the effect of popping, the harder ingredients are best to be stirred first to make a puree.
I recommend milk cubes. Milk is usually eaten outside if you need a few dozen dollars. You do not only cheap at home, but also very simple. Like often cooking fried paste people can also do a dessert. And eat more will not get fat.
Colleagues came to my home as a guest, I made this dessert to entertain them. It received unanimous praise and all gave it a thumbs up.
The ingredients needed are also very simple. In about ten dollars. Mengniu pure milk 250ml of 3 yuan, corn starch 40 grams. It's about 3.5 dollars if you buy a bag. Of course you also need sugar. It's best to use this zero-calorie sugar, white granulated sugar will also work. The price is around two dollars. Need coconut 3 dollars a bag, use half a bag is enough.
Write down the steps. I hope to see friends can do it at home.
The first step. A pan, the milk, cornstarch, zero calorie sugar together and mix well.
Step two. Spread a clean box with a layer of coconut.
Step three. Turn the heat on low and heat the milk, whisking as you go, until the liquid thickens and the head is quickly poured into the box with the coconut.
This is a quick step, otherwise the milk will curdle easily.
Step four. Shake the box to level the surface. Put it in the refrigerator for two hours.
Isn't it very simple? In a word, mix the ingredients together, heat until thick and refrigerate for 2 hours.
At this point you can cut into small pieces, or any shape you like. There is a strong coconut flavor and milk flavor, eat the mouth has an indescribable sense of happiness. So, guys, have you learned?
Outside the sale of very expensive, home to do very cheap food, in fact, there are many. Mainly depends on how your cooking skills, if you have a high level of culinary skills, basically you do it yourself at home, will be more than to go to the restaurant to save about 60%. And there are a lot of dishes that cost a tenth of the restaurant.
What's expensive outside and cheap to make at home If the list goes on, I'm guessing there will be people who say, "Just eat at home! Why go out to eat?" In fact, when we eat out, we shouldn't just look at their profits. Rather, we should enjoy the service provided by the other party, as well as the dining environment. Because the reason why dishes are sold at restaurants outside are expensive is because of the various operating costs, plus profit accounting are in it. So whether you do it yourself or eat out, we enjoy is delicious to bring their own pleasure, and can not only go to count the fit is not appropriate, is not it?Share two food bar, are very easy to start, and the success rate is very high dishes.
The first is a classic Cantonese seafood steamed dishes - garlic fans steamed scallops. Many people think at first glance that this dish is relatively high, in the restaurant to eat basically a minimum of thirty-forty it. But in fact, the cost of doing it yourself will be much lower. And this dish is simple and easy to operate, basically zero error rate, super suitable for white level novice to try. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.
Steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli
Production materials: scallops (6-8), vermicelli, garlic, green onions, oyster sauce, sugar
Production steps:
1, scallops cleaned, shells and meat separation, leave the shells spare.
2, soften the fans, spare.

5, with the plate on the steamer, high heat steaming 8 to 10 minutes.
6, cut green onion green sprinkled on the shellfish.
6, hot oil, dripping on each shellfish, production is complete.
The second is the Western-style spaghetti with tomato meat sauce
Again, it looks very complicated, but the actual operation is very simple. The price of Western restaurants fluctuates even more from tens to hundreds of dollars. But making it yourself at home really doesn't cost more than a few dollars.
Production materials: meat (pork or beef), tomatoes, pasta, onions, potatoes, cheese slices
Production steps:
1, boiling water, take a small handful of pasta into the pot to cook for 8-10 minutes. To determine whether the pasta is cooked or not, you can use a way to fish out a throw on the tile wall, sticking is just right (I'm just kidding, in fact, almost boil a bite is not to know). After cooking, fish out and spare.
2, tomatoes peeled and diced, the same, potatoes, onions, diced.
3, hot pot, put olive oil (why put olive oil, because this is more concerned about Western-style, in fact, with other oil as delicious, so what oil with what oil it).
4, put the onion sautéed, put the meat, sautéed slightly cooked. Add the tomatoes and potatoes, and stir-fry over high heat.
5, add the water and continue to stir fry the filling, when it is 70% cooked, add the cheese slices (or other cheese elements of the sauce), continue to stir fry. Add the pasta when it's about eight minutes old.
6, the filling and sauce and pasta fully integrated, high heat to reduce the sauce, set the plate.
7, at this time you can put black pepper (the best when freshly ground black pepper) and cheese powder (ready-made online, directly sprinkled on the line) to increase the flavor, finished.
Personally, I feel that scrambled eggs are more expensive, at home to do their own cost of three or two dollars, a bowl of leftover rice, one or two eggs, a spoonful of salt on it, the family love to eat. But every time you eat outside, a not big point of twenty to thirty, a family of at least two, I feel more expensive than a plate of meat!

Second, black pepper cowboy bone
Speaking of this dish, the hotel owner smiled, most like you point. Low cost, expensive, easy to make is the most significant feature of this dish. Moreover, the general restaurant does not have this dish, you want to eat, only to go to the per capita consumption of more than 100 restaurants, a price of about 100.
