In the hot summer, some restaurants in Guangzhou have launched "iced dishes" to attract customers.

iced dishes are cooked dishes, but they are put into ice cubes immediately after they are cooked. During this cold and hot period, the internal organization of food has undergone subtle changes, and eating them in the mouth has a special taste. Mustard has become a unique seasoning for iced dishes. It is a new fashion in summer diet, which can cool off the summer heat and wake up the stomach.

Strange "Hidden Dragon in the Ice Sea"

In Guangzhou University Town, the Shuiyifang Restaurant, which focuses on seafood, naturally has a wide variety of seafood. You can choose the seafood that can be called or not, and many other aquatic products that are rare at ordinary times, such as silver carp, shrimp, a wild black pomfret or shad weighing more than 4 kilograms, can be used. The new dish this summer is "Hidden Dragon in the Ice Sea".

Even if you are a gourmet, I believe you will be surprised when you read this dish. Unlike the previous iced dishes, which only put eel meat on the ice, the shape here is an ice shell like a hat, hollow, and the space inside is filled with water mist, like a fairyland. The secret eel meat sinks to the bottom, surrounded by jellyfish silk, coriander, shredded cucumber and shredded green pepper, which looks very beautiful. As soon as the food is served, people first feel a refreshing breath, followed by the fragrant meat, which is the kind of fragrance that can arouse people's appetite. Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth. The meat is tender, tough and chewy. An expert friend said that the meat was marinated in secret sauce in advance. If it is eaten after heating according to the general practice, it is more suitable in autumn and winter, but it will feel too heavy and greasy in summer. After being chilled, it not only removes the original fishy smell of the meat, but also makes the fiber structure of the meat more compact after being heated and cooled, so it tastes more tough and sweet.

When it comes to "cooling off summer heat" soup, there are many Guangzhou people, such as "winter melon bone soup", "bitter gourd sparerib soup", "watermelon juice" and "mung bean soup". Winter melon soup can be said to be the favorite of Guangzhou people. However, not many people know its "true face". Today, we will uncover its "true face". Wax gourd, which originated from Notes on Materia Medica, has other aliases: white melon, water awn, east melon and so on. It is the fruit of Cucurbitaceae wax gourd, an annual climbing herb. It is cultivated all over the country and harvested when the fruit is ripe in late summer and early autumn. The stems, leaves, peels, pulp and seeds of wax gourd can all be used for medicine. Winter melon can be described as a treasure.

wax gourd, sweet, light and cool in nature, enters the lung, large intestine and bladder meridian. Has that effect of benefiting wat, eliminating phlegm, clearing away heat, relieving sum heat and detoxifying. It can be used for treating edema, fullness, beriberi, phlegm cough, cough and asthma, summer heat and boredom, thirst quenching, diarrhea, pain and swelling, hemorrhoids and leakage, fish poisoning and alcohol poisoning. There are also many folk prescriptions for wax gourd. For example: (1) 1 kg of white gourd, three bowls of soup, taken three times a day, can dispel summer heat. (2) A small amount of white gourd wringing juice, taken frequently, can cure children's thirst. (3) 2 kg of white gourd, boiled with water and washed outside, can cure hemorrhoid pain. (4) Slice the wax gourd, mash it and rub it on the affected part, which can cure summer prickly heat. (5) Wax gourd wringing juice can relieve fish poisoning. (6) 1 tender melon, filled with rock sugar, steamed to take juice, or added with 3 slices of ginger, can cure phlegm-heat asthma and cough.

Wax gourd has low sodium content and is also an ideal vegetable for patients with kidney disease and edema disease.

The refreshing "cold beer mustard"

Food should be good at finding and discovering. The boss of Xiongji in the alley of Xihua Road is very thoughtful. When the European Champions League was in progress, one day he passed by China Square and found that young people were watching the latest events on the LED display screen, and at the same time saw the shape of the European Champions Cup made of beer bottles, so he was inspired to design this "cold beer mustard".

this dish is made by boiling the dish in water, cooling it in the refrigerator, adding clear oil, beer and pine nuts, adding it to taste, and putting it in the refrigerator. After 15 minutes, pour the sauce on the mustard. Mr. Chen, who is dining, said, "In the past, eating vegetables in summer was all hot-fried. Now it is the first time to add beer to cool it, and the taste is particularly cool." It is understood that stir-frying vegetables is not only oily, but also easy to stir-fry old and yellow, and vitamins are also lost. If you add beer with ice, you will not only have little oil, but also retain more vitamins, and mustard is very refreshing when you eat it. For those who are afraid of being greasy, this is a healthy green vegetable dish that must be ordered.

Clever "chilled fresh baby"

Guangdong people are experts in seafood, and they are more particular about eating fish. Fish is light and delicious, with low fat content, so it won't get fat after eating. Fish is not only delicious, but also nutritious, rich in vitamins, minerals and fish oil. Bihai Fisherman, a fish expert in the Pearl River New Town Food Plaza, is a good place to eat fish. But besides fish, there are many cheap and good food here. For example, mussels only sell 58 yuan/kg, and the "chilled fresh baby" introduced in summer is also very popular.

This Xianerzai is a wild variety shipped from Chaozhou. Generally speaking, Xianerzai's method is either roasting or frying, so it can't get the original fresh sweetness. However, with the method of freezing, it is necessary to remove the fishy smell with secret seasoning first, then rinse it with clear water after soaking, and then "ice-cool" it with ice cubes, which is better than roasting and frying, so that the meat can maintain better freshness and nutrition. The chef said that oil should not be touched in the process of ice-cooling, otherwise it will go bad easily, because it is not baked and eaten now, but to be used after ice-cooling. The fresh food served on the table looks very attractive. Take a bite. The chilled fresh food tastes really tender and crisp, but it tastes even better if it is dipped in mustard.
