Who can tell me some home cooking methods? I want to learn to cook!
Let me introduce some simple and delicious home cooking to you as follows:

1. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes

Ingredients: two medium-sized tomatoes, two eggs, shallots, oil, salt, sugar and chicken essence.

Steps: 1. Slice the tomatoes (this is your favorite cutting method) and break the eggs in a bowl (you can add some water, a little bit, to make the eggs tender, or add some cooking wine; Add a little salt), cut the shallots into chopped green onions and set aside.

2, ignite the pot, you can heat the pot a little and then add oil, not too much oil, otherwise the food will be oily. When the oil is 60% to 70% hot, pour the eggs in and smash them with a spatula, otherwise the eggs will become very big pieces.

You can stir-fry the tomatoes a few times, and then add a spoonful of salt (I add salt with a spoon in the salt box, which is a small box that is sold in the supermarket and can be filled with salt, sugar and chicken essence. I don't know how to call it, just call it a salt box, which contains a small spoon and a flat spoon. Stir it a few times and add half a spoon. Add a little chicken essence when the red sauce is fried or the tomato skin is about to fall off. Stir well.

4. Turn off the fire. Sprinkle chopped green onion and you can cook!

Note: If you add a proper amount of oil, you don't need to add water, but if you put too little oil, you may have to add some water later, otherwise it will burn.

When I first cooked this dish, I fried tomatoes and then added eggs, but all the fried eggs were scattered and deformed, hehe, so it became the current practice.

Pay attention to the small details of cooking, which will add a lot of color to your dishes.

First of all, salt should be boldly put. At first, I was always afraid to put salt, so the dishes I cooked were always tasteless and naturally not delicious. Later, after my mother told me, I dared to put more. I ate a lot. Anyway, it's salty this time. Put less salt next time and accumulate experience slowly. But eating too much salt is not good for your health, so it is best if you like light salt.

Secondly, ginger must be put in something that smells like fish, such as meat. Some sisters may not like ginger, garlic, onions and so on, so you can choose them after cooking, and they will taste much better. Ginger is a good thing. Before cooking fish or fried meat, you can wipe the pot with cracked ginger and then add oil. After the oil is hot, add ginger and garlic first, and then add meat, so as to prevent the pan from sticking.

Fried green beans

Ingredients: green beans (about 1 kg for four people), one clove of garlic, two dried peppers (optional), salt and chicken essence.

Steps: 1. Everyone should know the cleaning method of green beans, right? It is to remove the tendons at both ends, and then break them into sections as long as half a middle finger and wash them. Crushing, peeling and chopping garlic.

2, the pot is hot. When the oil is 60% to 70% hot, add garlic, then add green beans, add a spoonful of salt, stir-fry for a while, cover the pot and simmer, and add a little water.

3. It will be cooked in about 5 or 6 minutes. When the green beans are wrinkled, you can add chicken essence and stir-fry them for a few times before eating ~

I also like to eat green beans, which is simple, so I often fry them. Green beans can be fried with meat or dried vegetables (this is our specialty here), both of which are delicious. However, it should be noted that green beans must be fried before they can be eaten, otherwise they will be toxic.

4. Sweet and sour beans

Ingredients: soybean (also called bean-industrial bean, beans and industry are linked together, I remember it is reading gang, but I can't find it with the purple light input method, it is a very slender bean), a clove of garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, cooking wine (optional) and chicken essence.

Steps: 1. Wash it and cut it into finger-length pieces (this is exactly what our restaurant does) for later use. Remember to look carefully, there are often bugs with beans in them. Flatten and slice garlic for later use.

2, put oil in the hot pot, generally a little more is enough. When the oil is 70% to 80% hot, add garlic, then add beans, stir-fry for a few times, then add salt, you can add some cooking wine, continue to stir-fry, and add a proper amount of sugar during the stir-frying.

3. Add soy sauce after frying for one minute. Soy sauce is used for color matching. Stir fry a few times. Add some water, cover the pot and stew.

4. When the liquid in the pot is almost gone, add vinegar, add some water, stir fry a few times and continue to stew.

5. At this time, when the liquid is almost gone, the color of the beans has turned black. Add chicken essence and stir-fry for a few times to serve.

This dish just doesn't look good. It's a little dark, but it tastes really good. When I am at home, I don't like beans at all. First, there are too many bugs. Second, fried beans in soy sauce are really not delicious. Later, after my classmates made this kind of beans, I gradually liked to eat them. it wont hurt you to try it

5. Sweet and sour pork ribs

Ingredients: a catty of ribs, ginger, garlic, onion, salt, sugar, vinegar, cooking wine.

Step: 1, add oil after the pot is hot, and the oil should be more, because the ribs should be fried first. Add ginger slices when the oil is 70% to 80% hot, and then add the chopped ribs. Turn the ribs from time to time to avoid uneven heating.

2. When the ribs are dark golden yellow, take them out. Pick out ginger. Leave a little oil in the pot, add garlic, salt, sugar and cooking wine and stir fry together. After a few times, add the ribs and continue to stir fry.

3. Stir fry for about two minutes, add vinegar, stir fry a few times, add chicken essence, and stir fry a few times.

Turn off the fire and put a layer of chopped green onion on the plate.

It's over. Sweet and sour pork ribs just have no starch, but the ingredients in step 2 will form a certain consistency when fried together. It's still delicious. I've eaten this dish in some restaurants before. Their ribs are covered with a thick layer of powder, which is not delicious at all. I made it myself. Haha

6. Dried radish (side dish of porridge)

I wonder if you have the habit of eating porridge in the morning or evening. If you have time, you should eat porridge in the morning. Dried radish is a good porridge side dish.

You can taste the seasoning until you are satisfied.

No.2 home-cooked dish hot and sour cabbage

Ingredients: Onions, dried peppers and some Chinese cabbage.

Seasoning: oil, salt, vinegar, monosodium glutamate.

Side dishes: (Hehe, it is very easy for everyone to recite the second dish. ) First, peel off the leaves of Chinese cabbage, stack them together, cut off the roots, and then cut them diagonally from top left to bottom right. Because the side of Chinese cabbage is thicker, we should cut the side of Chinese cabbage thinner like this. Leaves can be cut into strips with a width of 1.5 to 2 cm, dried peppers can be cut into small pieces or chopped, and onions can be shredded.

Cooking: Turn on the gas stove, turn the fire to the maximum, and then pour in 4~5 tablespoons of oil (usually used for eating and drinking soup).

Be careful not to cut your hand, we are offering vegetarian dishes today! Wash potatoes in the basin with clear water, because the main component of potatoes is starch, which will thicken the vegetable juice during cooking. If the juice becomes very thick, hehe ~ ~ it is not called hot and sour potato shreds, so our purpose is to wash this starch out of potatoes. Of course, we will mention the characteristics of this starch thickening juice separately in the following dishes, so I won't say much here for the time being. Shred shallots and cut dried peppers into 0.5 cm pieces.

Cooking: Turn on your gas stove, then we put it on a pot with full fire and add about 4~5 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is heated to 80%, pour shredded onion, dried pepper and pepper into the pot and fry for about 5 seconds. Stir-fry the washed shredded potatoes in a pot. After about 5~8 minutes, add salt and vinegar and stir fry. It is recommended to sprinkle salt evenly on the whole dish.

The following experience is for your reference.

Start simple, sum up experience while doing:

Put oil in the pot, and the oil must be heated before putting down the vegetables. Stir-fry Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts over high fire. When they are almost ripe, it is not enough to put a little less salt and taste the salt first. Soy sauce should be of good quality. I have used Haitian brand for more than 20 years, and it was also introduced by a friend. There are three varieties, two of which are enough: Super Gold Label Soy Sauce King and Cold Sauce. Super straw mushroom is used for coloring in braising or marinating. First of all, put less, lighter than your target color, because it needs to add light soy sauce. When braised pork or beef and mutton, it is best not to put salt, but mainly to add light soy sauce. Then buy a bottle of Changyu Gold Award brandy for cooking wine. It is of good quality. It was originally used for western food. Although it is more expensive, it is rarely used. Braised pork is generally the best. Add 3/4- 1 lid (brandy bottle cap) to 500-750g of meat, stir-fry, add soy sauce-soy sauce, then drain the water, submerge the meat, bring it to a low fire, and keep the water in the pot boiling until you feel rotten. Drain the water with high fire and add a little monosodium glutamate and pepper.

Introduce some simple dishes and pasta for your reference:

(1) cooking:

First, the simplest way of eggplant:

Cut the eggplant into oblique pieces, fry in an oil pan until it becomes soft, take it out, pour off the oil, leave a little, stir-fry the minced garlic, pour in the eggplant, add Haitian brand soy sauce, stew for 1-2 minutes, add pepper and a little monosodium glutamate.

Fuel-saving method: cut the eggplant into oblique knives, soak it in water for a few minutes, take out a little juice and dry it, add oil to the pot (the amount is similar to that of normal cooking), add minced garlic and stir-fry the eggplant for a few times, add Haitian brand soy sauce, simmer for a few minutes with low fire, add pepper and a little monosodium glutamate.

Second, ribs seaweed soup:

Third, fresh cuttlefish and dried cuttlefish.

Dried cuttlefish: soak in cold water for several hours, and change the water halfway, so that cuttlefish is chewy. Does not contain alkali.

Wash cuttlefish: skin cuttlefish, bones and internal organs, and wash.

The practice of fresh cuttlefish:

Shredded cuttlefish with green pepper:

Cut the cuttlefish into shreds, boil water in the pot, and the water is much less. Put the cuttlefish shreds into the water and remove the water for later use. Never pour out the water. You can eat it below. Very fresh.

Slice tenderloin, add a little salt and cornflour and mix well, add a little oil and mix well.

End.

& ltbr & gt Note: There is a kind of dried cuttlefish in the market that is salty (poor quality), so it can only be soaked more, and then soy sauce or light soy sauce can't be put in cooking.

Fourth, stew potatoes:

1 Fry the thick potato chips in the oil pan before stewing (chopsticks can pass through).

A little longer.

Tomato and potato soup:
