I also like to draw water to lay eggs. Convenient, nutritious and delicious. Like light, take out the eggs after cooking and taste their natural fragrance, which is better than boiled eggs; If the taste is partial, after taking out the eggs, sprinkle with sauce, which can be made into fresh salty, spicy and cumin flavor. , so that the taste is richer and the pattern can be refreshed from time to time; If you like me, you like sweets. After the eggs are cooked, you can add wine and rock sugar and make eggs with wine and water. You can also add Lycium barbarum, red dates and longan according to your personal preference, which are all good tonics. One bowl of wine and water for laying eggs, plus snacks and fruits, is a delicious breakfast.
In the movie Julie and Julia, Julie made eggs with water according to Julia's recipe, which is very interesting.
Looking at Julie, her husband and friends, the three of them couldn't help laughing while cooking eggs and seriously reading the plot of the recipe. The first joke is the process of boiling eggs. In order to cook some eggs, a large pot of water was boiled. After the eggs were put in, they were quickly stirred without waiting for the protein to solidify, which led to yellowing. Let three people stare at a small pot of water and lay eggs while watching a thick menu. The second joke is that Julie tasted her own work. On that day, she made water-laid eggs for the first time and ate eggs for the first time in her life. She said:
Boiled eggs have little technical content, but most people who cook them for the first time are not very successful. Either the yellow is loose, or the protein and yolk are separated. There is a trick, that is, first put a small amount of cold water in the bowl, beat the eggs into the cold water, and then pour the cold water into the boiling water, so that the egg white will be wrapped in cold water and will not be scattered because of contact with boiling water, but will tightly surround the yolk and will not be separated. Don't stir, wait for about a minute until the egg white is solidified, and then stir slightly with a spoon to prevent the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pot. With this trick, laying eggs with water 100% succeeded.
The difference between finished products lies in egg yolk, which can be roughly divided into three types. After cooking for about two minutes, the yolk has not solidified. When eating, gently prick the protein, and the yolk will flow out, commonly known as delicious eggs. After cooking for two to three minutes, the yolk will be roughly condensed and will not flow out in liquid form. This egg yolk will be layered, the outer layer will be light yellow, older, and the color will be slightly darker toward the center. Most people like the above two kinds, eggs are fragrant and yolk is tender. If you cook it again, the yolk will be too old and taste bad. Julie's first egg in life should be a three-point egg, like dried cheese, delicious!
Southerners, especially the older generation, used to love to lay eggs with water to entertain guests. When the guests come, boil a bowl of water, spread out the eggs and serve them, especially in winter. In the past, there was very little food that could be served to guests, and eggs were even rarer. However, this hospitality has long been out of date.
One day, my colleague talked about going to see my mother-in-law for the first time three years ago. She brought a bowl of water to lay eggs. We all lamented that he was a blessed man. He also said that there were eight eggs in that big bowl, but he ate them all without saying anything. We praised him with a smile.
My most unforgettable boiled egg was eaten at a distant uncle's house.
Ten years ago, I had a whim and went to my uncle's house to learn calligraphy from him. When writing, my aunt will bring a bowl of snacks and add an egg paved with water to the blood glutinous rice cake. Glutinous rice is sticky, and the rice cake is cut into small pieces without losing its chewiness and sweetness, which can alleviate hunger.
I don't practice calligraphy today. My uncle died five years ago. According to his mother, his life is very difficult. After liberation, the family was divided into capitalists and suffered a lot as a child. Later, it was rehabilitated, but the family property was gone. After retirement, I can finally return to Shanghai, guarding a small house from being demolished and living a quiet life.
Because of menstruation's physical condition, they have no children all their lives. My uncle never gives up on her. Every day, she only enjoys writing and painting. Aunt buys food, cooks and cleans, and when she is free, they taste calligraphy and painting together. In this way, the world is finally stable, but the years can only be long in her memory.
Last Spring Festival, I went to see my aunt. On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the family was already deserted. She sat in the study with me, with a writing brush in the pen container, an inkstone beside her, and a pile of rice paper beside her, some of which had turned yellow. Aunt took out carefully arranged paintings and calligraphy, and we opened them one by one, rolled them up, opened them up, rolled them up, and told some interesting stories about the past. Unconsciously, dusk is near.
Look at it. It's getting late. My aunt goes out with me. Relatives pitied her loneliness and invited her to dinner. I'm hungry, too, and I'm anxious to go home for dinner. After all, the bowl of water that warms the stomach and heart tastes terrible.
