Cold shredded potato is a home-cooked dish of Shandong and northern families. The main ingredients are potatoes, green and red peppers and Chili oil. This dish is especially popular in many cities in Shandong, especially at noon on a hot day. When you come home from outside, your family will give you a plate of cold shredded potatoes and eat and drink it with a drink. It's so enjoyable.
Practice: Prepare two potatoes, peel them and shred them. You can cut them yourself, or you can use a vegetable-wiping machine to wipe them to see which is convenient for you. Personally, I think cutting them is more delicious than machine-made, and the taste is different, but when the weather is very hot, many people don't cut them by hand, in order to save trouble. The thinner the shredded potatoes, the better.
Soak the prepared shredded potatoes in clear water, and filter out the starch inside. Generally, change the water twice until there is no starch, so that the cold shredded potatoes will be crisp.
To make cold shredded potatoes, you need to blanch the shredded potatoes in clear water, and boil the water for about 1 minute. It can't take too long, and it won't taste good when it's rotten. The shredded potatoes must be crisp, which is the creaky feeling of eating.
Generally, when cooking shredded potatoes at home, we make our own seasoning juice. Put salt, vinegar, white sugar and soy sauce into a bowl and stir well. Adding 4 spoonfuls of Chili oil will make it more fragrant. In addition, sprinkling a handful of coriander before eating can improve the taste of shredded potatoes, which can be eaten by both the elderly and children.
If this dish is sold outside, it is usually 6-8 yuan per plate, which is very large and affordable. If it is cooked at home, it only costs 1 yuan per plate. Potatoes are very cheap now, so I still cook at home when I have time.
Potatoes are a kind of healthy vegetable, which can be eaten and fried all year round. Stew, cold salad, etc. are all possible. You can also eat staple foods such as local melons, which contain fiber, which is especially good for people who lose weight. You can steam some in summer.
Cold peanut is a side dish served by northerners when drinking, which is generally more common in rural homes. On rainy days, two people can drink a plate of peanuts and talk while eating and drinking. The main ingredient is peanuts.
Ingredients: raw peanuts, gourd seeds, celery, vinegar, salt, sesame oil, soy sauce, etc. Some people will also put some steamed beans, fish and soy sauce. If you like this taste, you can put some, and if you don't like it, don't put it.
Production steps: soak raw peanuts in clear water for more than one hour. During this period, you can prepare some other ingredients, such as diced carrot, blanched, diced cucumber without blanching, celery 1 piece, cut into pieces and blanched until cooked, and put them in clear water for supercooling and draining. Peanuts are cooked and boiled in a pot. I like to eat soft peanuts, so it takes longer to cook peanuts.
All the ingredients are put into a plate, and the oil is poured on the peanuts, and they are stirred evenly. The colors of cucumbers and carrots look delicious, ranging from green to orange. The peanuts are so cold that they are crisp and not firewood, which is especially delicious. It would be better if it was spicy.
The favorite food in summer is lettuce. Whether it is cold salad or dipping sauce, it is very appetizing. The key is that it is light and not greasy. Cold lettuce is a home-cooked dish that is often eaten in summer. The main ingredient is lettuce with big leaves. Garlic paste, rice pepper and sesame sauce, etc.
Prepare 2-3 lettuce leaves with big leaves, wash them, make them into leaves one by one, garlic one, or mash them into mud, half a bowl of dried peppers, a handful of rice peppers, cooking wine and sugar.
Lettuce needs to be soaked in clear water. After washing it quickly, rinse it piece by piece. Sometimes there are bugs in it, so rinse it several times.
Put lettuce in a basin, add seasoning, pour garlic on it, and put Chili oil while it is hot. You can eat it when you hear the noise.
