I suddenly fell in love with cooking recently. I used to hate cooking the most. I thought it was extremely tedious, time-consuming and labor-intensive. No matter how parents and adults coerce or induce, they take pains to advise. I'm all rock solid. Regardless of whether the wind blows from east to west, from north to south, I will remain unmoved. I always buy and eat outside.

Occasionally I want to eat tofu mixed with green onions. Since there are no food stalls outside, the restaurant is too expensive. I can only do it myself. However, the vegetable convenience store downstairs did not have the ingredients for soft tofu, and the supermarket was too far away, so I changed it to stir-fried jelly.

Find the recipe for stir-fried jelly in the recipe software. Then chop the onion, ginger and garlic like a tiger, wash the jelly and cut it into pieces. Pour oil into the pot and add onion, ginger and garlic. Listen to the sizzling sound of oil. My mood improved inexplicably. Add jelly, add seasonings and stir-fry. Watch the steam coming out of the pot spread little by little. I thought maybe this is what is called fireworks. Maybe this is life. You and I are like food, which has gone through ups and downs and been tempered by time. The result is plates of stunning dishes.

Turn off the heat and serve on a plate. Fried jelly is out of the oven. I cooked rice soup and bought steamed buns. Simple meals to warm the stomach during the cold winter days. It also warms me in a foreign land. Very strange. It was obviously not very well made, and the appearance and taste were very poor. But it is very comfortable to eat. This is completely different from what I used to eat outside. Street stalls seemed to only fill me up, but they never made me feel comfortable.

In retrospect, this meal took about two hours to make. Wash and cut vegetables. After eating, you have to wash and clean up. It's really tedious, but this kind of dish has flavor and warmth, which can warm the stomach and heart.

Later I went to the supermarket and bought soft tofu. I made my favorite tofu with green onions. And he put down his cell phone and tasted a meal seriously. In the past, when I was eating, I would play with my phone with one hand and eat with the other. Immerse yourself in all kinds of information on your phone. There is always no taste for food. Now that the source of the news has been blocked, I can get serious about eating. Go and taste every meal.

Perhaps the reason why cooking can heal your mood is because it can temporarily take your mind away from all the troubles. All sources of information are blocked. Let you just focus on cooking.

Suddenly I understand a little bit about the painstaking efforts of my parents. Cooking is more than just an ability to live. It is also an attitude towards life. Being able to cook can help you stay away from junk food and eat well. It can also make you love life more.
