The cauliflower I want to talk about today is also the food that suddenly disappears, or very few people eat it. When I was a child, I lived in the north, and cauliflower was a common cold salad. But whenever I have a meal, this cold salad is a must. On holidays, there is a big plate of cold cauliflower on every table. To tell the truth, this dish is really tasteless, but it tastes crisp. Plus the price was quite low at that time, so it was so popular. Later generations ate less, which may also be caused by its dull taste.
Gelidium looks strange. It will melt into jelly when heated. Many people who don't know it think it's edible glue, and some people believe it, including my father. Every time he eats this dish, he is disgusted, always saying that this edible glue has nothing to eat! Eating radish is more nutritious. In fact, the nutrients of cauliflower are not low, let alone edible gum. It is a kind of seaweed called "Algae Boutique".
Gracilaria lemaneiformis, also known as Gracilaria, grows on rocks at the bottom of the sea. Gracilaria lemaneiformis just picked is black. It takes a long time to clean and expose to the sun before it becomes white and transparent for us to eat. Gracilaria lemaneiformis, like algae, is rich in vitamins, minerals and algae protein, which can improve immunity, reduce blood pressure with low fat, nourish yin and reduce fire. Simply put, it is more nourishing than meat! You can eat more in hot summer and share traditional practices with you.
Ingredients: half a dried cauliflower, a handful of celery, and half a bowl of peanuts.
Accessories: seafood sauce 1 spoon, sweet noodle sauce 1 spoon, soy sauce 1 spoon, balsamic vinegar 1 spoon, half a spoon of sesame oil, and appropriate amount of salt.
Step 1: Seaweed needs to be soaked in cold water, never in hot water, otherwise it will become sticky and melt, and the seaweed will become very big after soaking 1 hour. Just soak a small handful and it will be translucent.
Step 2: Put the peanuts in the pot and cook them for later use. Cut the celery into sections and blanch it in water for later use.
Step 3: Add a spoonful of seafood sauce and sweet noodle sauce to the soaked cauliflower, then add a spoonful of soy sauce, a spoonful of balsamic vinegar, half a spoonful of sesame oil and a proper amount of salt and mix well.
Step 4: Finally, pour in celery and peanuts and mix well. In this way, the nostalgic cold salad flower is ready.
This dish used to be particularly popular in Shandong and Henan. It's really from snacks to big ones, and now it's sold less and less. I met him in the supermarket the other day, and actually spent 10 yuan. But fortunately, it will change a lot after soaking. Cauliflower is refreshing and delicious, and it tastes crisp. The content of various nutrients is not low, so you should eat more.
1, cauliflower cannot be soaked in hot water, it will become sticky and dissolve.
2, cold cauliflower needs sauce, because the texture of cauliflower is relatively tight, not easy to taste, and it is easier to hang seasonings and sauces. If only soy sauce is used for seasoning, the taste of cauliflower will be very weak. Cucumber and carrot can also be used as ingredients.
