Every boy who can cook is a foodie! ! ! A foodie with requirements and taste! ! !
Although cooking is a very simple thing, it is very happy. I have been able to cook since I was a child, but at that time it was just because of the pressure of life and I had no choice but to cook it myself.
But starting from high school, I gradually fell in love with cooking. After being baptized in the school cafeteria, I realized how happy it was to be able to eat food cooked by myself. So every weekend I will purchase the ingredients myself, choose the combinations, and complete the weekly meal improvement. (I cook it myself because my mother’s cooking skills are not as good as mine...)
During that time, I often invited good friends to have dinner together, and every time my cooking skills were recognized , even happier. And through their publicity, our classmates all know that I am good at cooking.... (I am a little excited when I think about it)
There was a time when my dream life was to be able to cook for myself every day. .......
But this wish came true during a summer vacation during my college years. During that time, I was obsessed with fitness, keen on food calorie tables, and eager to make healthy, delicious, and Also low calorie food.
Every time I go shopping for ingredients, I control the weight of each ingredient, their total calories, and how to mix them. You don’t need too many vegetables, just two hundred grams each time. Boil them in water without adding oil and add a little salt. (Vegetables consume the most oil. Adding oil will cause high calories, and it will be unbalanced without adding nutrients. Therefore, choose water spinach, sweet potato vines, cauliflower, cabbage hearts and other vegetarian vegetables that are delicious without adding oil. Lettuce is even better and does not need to be processed. , wash it and eat it directly...)
For meat, I only choose lean meat with a little fat (animal oil extracted from fat meat will have lower calories than vegetable oil, and I can pass Use the weight of fat to estimate the calories of the oil...), squeeze a little bit of oil from the fat each time, then add a little salt and fry with the lean meat...
Fry with the meat For side dishes, I usually choose lettuce, carrots, lotus roots, tofu, green beans, snow peas, these are more common, low-calorie ingredients...
Every meal is under my control It is nutritious and healthy, and I was very happy during that time...
The most uncomfortable cooking experience was at a classmate’s house in Guizhou. I was going to make a stir-fried pork dish with lettuce. Everything was perfect, but after Something went wrong in the simmering part. I usually cook in a small pot, add a little water, and cook for two minutes. When the meat is almost half cooked, I cover the meat with lettuce but do not touch the water. (Simmering lettuce with steam) When the water dries up, the meat is almost cooked and the lettuce is half cooked. Stir-fry it a little and add seasonings, and you can stir-fry lettuce and meat without a lot of oil. (Stir-frying really consumes a lot of oil and has high calories)
But the pot the shop sells is too big...the steamed lettuce will not be cooked properly...so it's very strange in the end. .....
Now that I am working, I don’t have much time or place to cook. I miss my kitchen knife and the sound of chopping vegetables....
