Fortunately, however, I met the "snail girl".
Of course, this "snail girl" is not a fairy who sneaked out to cook for the rescuer during the day in fairy tales, but she is also a fairy sister. She is Chen.
She is a sister in Hunan and has no professional experience as a chef. Because of her love of cooking, she became a famous gourmet. She likes and is good at detailed recipes, and believes that those simple, exquisite and thoughtful recipes are the taste of home we want.
Since visiting a bookstore, I was attracted by a book with a yellow cover and saw the pictures inside. I, a little white with no cooking experience, fell in love with cooking.
It is no exaggeration to say that this book "Daily Diet" opened the door for me to explore the mystery of the kitchen, and I went further and further on the road of cooking.
I love this book because it is not only a home-cooked dish, but also a dish we often eat three times a day, especially for a small white who never cooks.
Not only that, the book "Daily Diet" also teaches you the common sense part. I have to say that the author "snail girl" knows the minds of beginners too well. Because when I often search for recipes in Baidu, it says: salt, right amount. Appropriate amount of soy sauce.
What is the appropriate amount? Every time I don't understand, I look at my mood, so every time it's either light or salty.
But when snail girl introduces the recipes in daily food, she always uses such weighing methods as porcelain spoon, soup spoon, teaspoon and handful. I don't have to face the word "moderate" anymore.
Not only that, snail girl will also tell you how to raise different pots, how to cut vegetables for novices with bad knives, and how to choose cutting boards. I can't be more intimate. I feel like a mother is teaching her newly-married daughter to cook.
When I first got the book back, I couldn't wait to start trying. I thought it was the first time to show my cooking skills, so I chose a vegetarian dish: hand-torn cabbage.
I thought the simple dish of hand-torn cabbage was just a little oil, salt and chopped green onion, but I don't know why the taste is always not as good as that outside. I didn't know that every dish had skills until I followed the tips in Daily Food.
The skill of this dish is to stir-fry with steamed fish and soy sauce. It doesn't matter if there is no steamed fish and soy sauce at home. Just use oyster sauce and soy sauce instead.
Unexpectedly, the first attempt to make it tastes great, not only delicious, but also looks good. It was a good start for this novice, and he fell in love with the book "Daily Food" from then on, so he was immersed in the world of food.
Later, this "daily food" actually became a family recipe. Every weekend when I have time, I will open this cookbook and try various dishes.
The most successful is sweet and sour pork ribs. Anyone who has eaten my sweet and sour pork ribs will reach out and praise it and prove how delicious it is with actions. Never leave your body after eating one piece at a time. Until now, sweet and sour pork ribs have become my specialty. Every weekend, my colleagues will clamor to come to my house to eat my sweet and sour pork ribs.
In fact, the reason why my sweet and sour pork ribs taste so good is that I only put two kinds of vinegar according to "daily food". Old vinegar is sour, so it tastes good when added. If it is about to be cooked, adding balsamic vinegar will add flavor to the ribs.
After reading "Daily Food", I realized that we are only one step away from the chef.
Because I prefer sweet taste, I tried coke chicken wings again. The trick of this dish is to boil it in boiling water for 30 seconds. Chicken wings scalded with boiling water will become very tender and smooth. Because the surface of chicken wings is all skin, the chicken skin will be soft like jelly at high temperature, and the taste will be extra points.
According to the practice of sweet and sour pork ribs, I made braised pig's trotters, and the effect was particularly good.
Now this book "Daily Diet" has become a treasure in my hand. With it, I changed from a small white who can't cook to a girl who is a "hall on the ground and a kitchen on the ground".
This book reminds me of familiar practices, home-cooked dishes that I never tire of eating, and simple daily diet with my family, and I feel the beauty of eating every day.
