After summer, my family seldom cooks, and almost all of them eat cold dishes every day. Share some cold dishes I often eat at home here and see if there are any you like! Summer is coming, the weather is hot, and I have no appetite. Try these five cold dishes to refresh your appetite. Let's have a look!
Cold lotus root slices are common cold dishes in my family in summer. Crisp and refreshing lotus root can be used as a side dish or an appetizer.
To make cold lotus root slices, you must choose the right lotus root. I suggest you choose nine-hole white lotus root, which is crisp and juicy! Peel the lotus root and cut it into thin slices. Drop a few drops of white vinegar in clear water to prevent oxidation and blackening!
Boil lotus root in boiling water for 60 seconds. Don't use an iron pan when ironing, or it will turn black easily. After blanching, take it out quickly and put it in cold boiled water to cool down quickly, so as to keep the crispy taste of lotus root!
Put the lotus root into the pot, add Jiang Mo, minced garlic, diced green pepper, a little sugar, a little salt, white vinegar and sesame oil, then pour in hot pepper oil and stir well. Serve!
There is a special dish here, which is estimated that many friends have never eaten. This dish must be made with fresh garlic in summer. This dish is garlic and eggs. When you don't want to cook in summer, it is especially delicious with steamed bread!
When cooking this dish, we don't need a pot, just prepare a mashed garlic! Peel fresh garlic, put it in a garlic mortar, add a little salt and mash it into garlic!
Prepare two boiled earth eggs, first break them into small pieces, then pour them into garlic paste and mash them with garlic paste to fully blend the garlic paste and eggs!
Finally, add a few drops of sesame oil, stir well, and you can eat. Whether it's mixed noodles or steamed bread, it's especially fragrant!
If you don't know what to eat in summer, it is highly recommended that you try this hodgepodge. All kinds of vegetables will do. Balanced nutritional value and super high vitamin content. The point is that you won't gain weight!
When cooking big miscellaneous vegetables, you can mix them freely according to your own hobbies. For example, cucumbers and tomatoes in summer are very good choices. I chose Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cabbage, tomato, bitter chrysanthemum and earth eggs here!
Clean and shred all vegetables and ingredients, and divide the cooked earth eggs into two, so that the nutritional value is more balanced!
Prepare a cold sauce, add sugar, salt, cold oil, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil and sesame sauce to the bowl and stir well. Pour the juice on the ingredients and mix well!
Spinach is a vegetable that we often eat in our daily life, and it is rich in nutritional value, while peanuts are the favorite appetizer for alcoholics. How about having cold salad together?
Wash fresh spinach, put it into boiling water, drop a few drops of vegetable oil, blanch 1 min, remove excess oxalic acid, and let it cool and drain.
Add a little vegetable oil to the pot, add the cold oil directly to the peanuts, and fry until the peanuts are crispy!
Put peanuts and spinach together, add garlic paste, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, sesame oil and red pepper, and mix well!
Gluten with sesame sauce is a must-eat side dish in our family in summer. I used to eat in restaurants, but later I learned to cook at home. It tastes pretty good! Interested friends must try!
Cut the bought gluten into long strips, put it in a pot with boiling water, add a little baking soda and blanch it for 30 seconds, take it out to cool, and drain it for later use!
Add sesame paste to the bowl, add a little warm water to drain sesame paste, add millet, minced garlic, shallots, soy sauce, aged vinegar, sugar and salt, and mix well. Finally, add a little Chili oil!
Pour the prepared sesame paste on the gluten and you can eat it. The sauce is rich and not greasy!
