In the hot summer, I have no appetite for anything. The adults have nothing to eat, and the children can’t eat. They only have all kinds of cold drinks and snacks all day long. It’s really a headache!

I was at home on the weekend, thinking about making some snacks for my children to relieve the heat. It happened that my father picked a basket of cucumbers from the field, washed them briefly, and cut two pieces for the children to eat as fruits. He said, the cucumbers you grow yourself are delicious! The cucumbers have a very strong aroma, and the children ate them all in empty mouths!

Simply use cucumbers to make food. It is said that "eating in season" is the most nourishing. Summer is the best season to eat cucumbers. Cucumbers enter the spleen and stomach, and there is heavy moisture in summer. , eating cucumber can not only clear away heat and relieve summer heat, but also has the effect of strengthening the spleen and appetizing.

It’s hot and your child doesn’t want to eat? See what delicious food Meimei makes? Refreshing and appetizing, kids rush to eat it!

The weather is hot, and I just want to eat something cool. Various jelly noodles and noodles are the most appetizing. Today I will use cucumber to make a cold dish to relieve the heat! Not only is it fragrant and refreshing, but the chewy texture is also the favorite of children. It is paired with homemade tomato sauce, not to mention more appetizing. Make more at a time and keep it in the refrigerator for two or three days. No problem. When cooking and stir-frying, you can mix it up in a dish. It can be used as a staple food or as a meal, and it can be ready in minutes!

When posting recipes on weekdays, many friends always ask: What can I substitute for this? Can you leave that one alone?

Our dish today is very convenient. I use sweet potato flour made at home. If you don’t have it, you can also use tapioca flour, glutinous rice flour or sticky rice flour instead. In short, No matter what flour you use, it will not fail, but the taste will definitely be different. The closest thing to sweet potato flour is cassava flour, which can usually be purchased in large supermarkets.

Of course, you don’t have to go out of your way to buy cucumbers. You can squeeze any vegetables you have on hand into juice. Try to choose some with bright colors, such as carrots, purple potatoes, and pumpkins. This will make them more beautiful.

Tomato juice and cucumber jelly

Ingredients: 00g sweet potato powder, one cucumber, one tomato

Accessories: onion, ginger, garlic, appropriate amount of oil, one spoon of light soy sauce, two spoons of rice vinegar A spoonful

Method:

Pour the sweet potato starch into a basin and set aside. Authentic sweet potato starch is granular in shape with different thicknesses, and the color will be a bit dark yellow, because in There will inevitably be impurities during the production process, so we need to deal with them in advance so that it doesn't taste like earth.

Add water to the sweet potato flour. The water should cover the flour. Stir slowly with chopsticks. Stir the sweet potato flour completely until it melts. At this time, the water becomes very turbid. Let it stand for about half an hour. When all the sweet potato flour has precipitated and the water and flour are separated, pick up the bowl and shake it gently. You will see that there will be a layer of light yellow dust on the surface of the precipitated sweet potato flour. Pour it out, add water, and stir. After several repetitions of precipitation, the sweet potato flour will be clean and the water will become clear. The sweet potato flour that has been precipitated several times will have no fishy smell at all and taste particularly good.

Wash the cucumber, cut it in half, scrape off the seeds inside with a spoon, and cut it a few times.

Put the cucumber into the wall breaker and use the juice button to puree it.

Pour and strain the cucumber puree.

Take 200 ml of cucumber juice, add two grams of salt and stir evenly, then pour into the sweet potato flour and mix thoroughly with chopsticks. It is difficult to stir the sweet potato flour after it settles, so take your time. Don't be too hasty.

Do not put oil in the pan. Pour the sweet potato starch water into the pan and heat it slowly over low heat.

While heating, stir constantly until the sweet potato starch slurry gradually thickens, and you can turn off the heat when it can hold together a little.

Pour the sweet potato batter into an oiled container and wait for it to cool and set.

Chop the onions, ginger, garlic and tomatoes into mince.

Heat the oil pan and sauté the minced garlic.

Pour in the minced ginger and tomatoes and stir-fry over low heat. When the sauce thickens, add salt to taste and sprinkle with chopped green onions. The tomato sauce is ready.

Cut the cooled sweet potato dough into cubes.

Just pour the fried tomato sauce on top.

Tips:

Sweet potato flour must be washed in advance so that the finished product will not have an earthy smell.

Cucumbers can also be made into juice with the core, but the water content of the core is relatively high, and the resulting color will not be so green. If you don’t mind, you can also squeeze it together.

Similarly, you can also make cucumber jelly of various colors such as carrot juice, purple sweet potato puree, dragon juice, etc.
