In our China diet, porridge is the most daily food. It is recorded in Zhou Shu that "the Yellow Emperor began to cook the valley for porridge". Since the first emperor, porridge has been regarded as a daily food.
Porridge, to put it bluntly, is a combination of water and rice. This bowl of the most common porridge, seemingly simple, is full of rich flavor.
There are many kinds of porridge, such as japonica rice porridge and duck porridge mentioned in A Dream of Red Mansions. Among them, seafood porridge is the most striking. Seafood porridge belongs to Cantonese cuisine and is one of the old-fashioned recipes in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Seafood porridge is delicious, and the seafood in porridge can be shrimp or cream crab. After boiling, fresh seafood is mixed into rice porridge, and each one is so full and delicious.
In the movie Northwest Fengyun, the policewoman played by Yu Nan and the porridge shop owner played by Yam Tat-wah are sworn enemies, but they have emotional entanglements of "dual identities".
Their first meeting started with a bowl of seafood porridge. In one mission, the policewoman lost her sense of taste because of injury, but she ate a bowl of seafood porridge in a porridge shop run by a former drug dealer (played by Yam Tat-wah), and she recovered her long-lost sense of taste.
Aside from the plot, let's take a look at the bowl of porridge. When the hostess scooped up a spoonful of seafood porridge and put it in her mouth to taste it slowly, all the lights on the scene gathered on her. At the moment, as an audience, I especially want to rush into the screen and drink the bowl of seafood porridge for her.
According to colleagues, their children don't like eating in the morning, because they always say they have no appetite, so Xiao Lao recommended this seafood porridge to her. Colleagues went home and tried it several times, but it didn't work. Since then, children have fallen in love with porridge, and even two bowls are enough.
Of course, there are many ways to make children love to eat, and seafood porridge is just one of them. But as long as every step is done well, it is not difficult for children to thrive.
All ingredients:
Production steps:
1. Clean the green shrimp, remove the shrimp head and shrimp line, and peel off the shrimp shell, leaving the shrimp head and shrimp meat.
? Note: ① The seafood on the market is very fresh now. The price of green shrimp is about 27.9 yuan/kg, and the price of six is only 5 or 6 yuan, so the cost is relatively low.
When buying seafood, don't buy the discounted one, even if it is cheap enough! !
2. Heat the oil in a hot pot, put the drained shrimp head and onion, ginger and garlic into a small pot, and stir fry over high fire until the shrimp oil turns red.
? Note: Some recipes are to fry the shrimp head until it is crisp, then pick it up and throw it away. I think it's a bit wasteful. After all, the value of shrimp head has not been fully exerted, and it can be left for later.
3. After frying the shrimp oil, pour in the rice and water soaked in advance, turn to low heat and slowly start stewing.
? Note: ① There is a skill to remember here. If time permits, you can put the cleaned rice in the refrigerator one night in advance and put it directly in the pot when you start cooking seafood porridge the next day.
The principle of this is that the main component of rice is starch, and the surface of frozen rice will form honeycomb pores, thus increasing the water absorption capacity. When it comes to hot water, rice grains will become loose and starch will quickly turn into paste, so you can quickly cook sticky and slippery porridge.
(2) The amount of water is more than the usual amount of porridge, because there is still a process of cooking shrimp meat and vegetables, so leave some water.
After all the delicious shrimp heads are soaked in porridge, you can pick them out and throw them away. This is the best use.
? Note: If you don't like to let the shrimp head stay in it for too long, you can also throw it away directly in the second step. This is not mandatory, just according to your personal preference. Being a man, happiness is the most important thing.
5. Put peeled shrimp, washed and cut vegetables and crab sticks into porridge, pour in some oyster sauce, and then simmer on low heat. 10 minutes later, sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve.
? Note: ① Shrimp meat is particularly easy to cook, so it can be simmered 10 minute.
② Because the rice has been frozen before, the time is shortened a lot, and the morning time is very tight, so it is enough to make a pot of seafood porridge.
(3) Fresh shrimp is delicious, so there is no need to add salt. Moreover, porridge was originally light, and it became a dish with salt. The World Health Organization advises us to eat less salt and not more than 5 grams a day. Little master, be obedient.
If you just eat rice porridge, it will be a bit monotonous. This bowl of porridge has a different taste after adding seafood and vegetables. Generally speaking, the practice of seafood porridge is not difficult, but the following points should also be noted:
First of all, when buying seafood, don't buy the discounted one, even if it is cheap enough!
Second, first put the shrimp head into the pot and stir it constantly until the red shrimp oil is fried.
Second, put the washed rice in the refrigerator one night in advance, and cook it directly when you start cooking seafood porridge the next day, which will be faster.
Third, the amount of water should be more than the usual porridge, because there is still a process of cooking shrimp meat and vegetables, so the water should be reserved.
Ok, this is the seafood porridge we are going to make today. Would you like to have a try?
