It is not difficult to present a plate that is pleasing to the eye, conveying the cook’s care for the food to his beloved family members. It’s not difficult to present a plate that’s pleasing to the eye, conveying the cook’s care for the food to his beloved family members.

The first impression of every meal is definitely the key to whether it tastes good or not. When dining in a restaurant, you will first be tempted by the appearance of various dishes when they are served. Even snacks have "the way they should look when they are delicious." Even a plate of dumplings, a plate of soy sauce green onions and a bowl of corn soup can create a delicious scene. ? The protagonist is food

After I started cooking for myself, I would pay close attention every time I ate out and see if there was anything I could learn to cook at home. For example, in breakfast restaurants, various hamburger sandwiches are actually toast > butter > lettuce > tomato slices > ham > ketchup > pepper > fried egg. Then change according to different main characters: hamburger, chicken leg, cheese; or toast, hamburger buns, manfu buns, hot dog buns...it changes into a whole wall of menu.

The same is true for restaurants. Noodles or rice, meat for the main meal, and cooking methods can be infinitely changed to meet the needs of guests. I went to the restaurant and ordered a meal. I found a very familiar taste. I stretched my neck and took a closer look. The ingredients in the open kitchen were actually very simple. Most of them are available at home. It is not difficult for the housewife to make the seasoning at home. It is very simple. Suitable for daily use on the dining table. The basic principle of cooking is to cook the ingredients and add some sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors.

I can’t learn the big dishes from restaurant chefs, so I spend time learning them when I have free time, or go to restaurants to eat home-cooked dishes that are easy to prepare and season. I can open my own restaurant for my family every day. .

Cooking and food are the protagonists, and utensils are props. The presentation of the dishes increases the desire of the eaters and gives the cooks a sense of accomplishment. This principle applies to my life. Now I am not sloppy even when it comes to cleaning utensils. Using the utensils I like to tidy up my home will make me feel happier. I enjoy spending time with my family. I thought that plating was time-consuming. Plating takes time and effort. Don’t make yourself too busy at first. The food itself is the best decoration.

The most delicious moment of cooking is the moment when it is cooked. Take an omelette, for example, in a squeaky iron pan, with crispy burnt edges and hot soy sauce. If you spend a lot of time setting it up, it's like buying a bento and the boss suddenly says there's a meeting, and it tastes delicious an hour later. It’s halved.

So what I like about plating is that there are no details that are too labor-intensive. The main role is the food, which can be served as soon as it is cooked. Many awesome-looking looks can be achieved in just a few seconds. If it’s too complicated, I’ll try it again when I have time or if it doesn’t affect the taste. I’m not good at making cartoon bento because I’m impatient and not good at craftsmanship. When I cut the seaweed, I feel the meat is cold and unpalatable. The C/P value is too low. You can only play it if you are really interested. ? The simplest plate arrangement starts with color

Due to limited time and eating habits, I often finish a meal on one plate. When deciding what to put on a plate, you can start with the color. White: rice/boiled eggs; red: carrots/ham; yellow: eggs/cheese; green: vegetables, edamame; brown: meat, mushrooms... Let’s give two simple examples of each, try it, one plate Served in various colors, it is nutritious and delicious.

If there are three dishes and one soup on a table, or five dishes and one soup, match the color of each plate: one bowl of rice, one plate of braised pork, one plate of vegetables, one plate of tamagoyaki, one plate of tamagoyaki Small pot of soup... ? If you have a dishwasher, you can use small plates

Another simple way, just like Japanese set meals, many small plates hold different dishes, which will make the dining table rich and It's simple and most importantly, the taste of each food is not affected. The premise is that it is better to have a dishwasher, which will be easier. I used to think it was too troublesome to use it this way in Japan! But you will fall in love with it after actually using it!

Find inspiration from eating out

Restaurants need to be open to make money, so meals are served quickly, and set meals are easy to learn and simple. For example, a meal at MUJI restaurant consists of three or four dishes on a round plate, with a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup next to it, a drink, and a piece of cake... It's also great at home! ? Start with the food you love to eat

Not everyone is a chef at the beginning, but they must all be gourmets, because they eat three meals a day, right? Let’s start with what we eat every day. After putting it on the plate and taking photos every day, we will find out: It turns out that my diet is so unbalanced! It turns out that I almost never eat green things... This is just an opportunity to review my diet. ? It’s not much to put on the plate, but it’s very filling.

Friends who have tried it have shared with me that in the past, when others looked at the plating, they would think: It’s too fancy, how can I be full? But in fact, when I laid it out and ate a little of everything, I ended up eating a lot more than I imagined.

It’s easiest to get started with white tableware

I always use all-white tableware when I first start. In fact, many restaurants do the same. Later, if you get addicted to it, you can slowly buy more according to your own preferences. My favorite home style, white is the most unmistakable and best able to show the true color of each food.

Share it with your friends and compile it into an article. It’s not a professional but just a hobby. There are many cooking experts and there is a lot of information on the Internet. In fact, setting the plate is not that difficult and it doesn’t take too much time. , practice makes perfect, and your family will eat nutritiously and richly.

If I can do difficult things, so can everyone. ＊This article comes from the Salsa Blog. Please do not reprint without authorization.
