The New Year's Eve dinner is a very important meal. Not only must it be eaten well, but it must also be eaten with meaning. Each dish has its own meaning and represents people's good expectations for the new year.
I am most looking forward to the following two dishes during the New Year’s Eve dinner, because these two dishes are not only high-quality, but also have good meanings. It can be said that they are full of New Year flavor and are loved by both adults and children.
Let’s take a look at how to do it.
The first dish: Baibao Duofu~means good fortune and longevity. Ingredients: tofu, meat stuffing, mushrooms, green onions. 1. Rinse the tofu and cut into long cubes. Shred some green onions and chop some. Blanch the mushrooms for 30 seconds and remove.
Chop the stalks, partially chop the millet pepper, shred some, and slice the ginger and green onion.
Marinate the meat filling, add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, an appropriate amount of salt and chopped shiitake mushrooms into a bowl, and stir evenly in a clockwise direction.
2. Heat oil in a pan, fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, let them cool slightly, make a cut on the tofu cubes, be careful not to cut them off, dig out the tofu inside, fill in the meat filling, cover with the tofu "lid", and then use
Knot the green onions.
3. Place on a plate, place in a steamer, boil water and steam for 10 minutes until the meat filling is cooked.
4. Heat oil in a pot, sauté millet pepper until fragrant, add half a spoon of dark soy sauce, 2 spoons of light soy sauce, appropriate amount of salt and water starch, stir evenly, simmer until thick, and pour onto a plate.
The second dish: Maotai-flavored elbows~meaning good luck and good luck. Ingredients: 1 elbow, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 3 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce, 6 to 8 small pieces of rock sugar, appropriate amount of ginger and green onion, appropriate amount of salt, ginger slices, and cinnamon.
, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise 1. Check the purchased elbows, remove excess pig hair, wash them, put them in the pot under cold water, boil over high heat for 5 minutes, cook out the dirty things, remove and drain; 2. Put the elbows into the pressure cooker
, put green onions and ginger slices on the bottom of the pot to prevent the elbows from sticking to the pan; 3. Put oil in the wok, add rock sugar and stir-fry over low heat until light caramel color, then add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, green onion slices, ginger slices,
Bring cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns and star anise to a boil.
4. Pour the cooked sauce into the pressure cooker, add water, the height of the water should be basically the same as elbow height, select high pressure, and set it for 40 minutes; 5. Simmer in an ordinary pot on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, until
Chopsticks can be inserted easily. The stewed elbow will be more delicious after soaking in the stew for a while. If you want the elbow soup to be richer, you can put the elbow and the soup together in the wok and cook it again.
