|
||||
|
||||
Calculate the ratio of raw materials to be used based on the above conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
* Take the ground meat (thawed if frozen), add 1/2 of all the above seasonings (oil, salt, sugar, soy sauce, seasoning blend) and all the cornstarch. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes.
|
||||
* Add the flour to a bowl, add the egg, add the remaining 1/2 of all the above seasonings, and add water equivalent to 1/2 the volume of the flour (to make the batter relatively thick but still pourable). Mix well.
|
||||
* Mince the garlic.
|
||||
* Cut the green onion into segments.
|
||||
* Mince the carrot (for the filling, so it should be as fine as possible; rough chopping is acceptable).
|
||||
|
||||
### Cooking
|
||||
|
||||
* Heat the wok with cold oil, using a generous amount of oil.
|
||||
* Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
|
||||
* Add the marinated ground meat, stir-fry until cooked through.
|
||||
* Add the minced carrot to the ground meat and stir-fry together until the oil turns golden yellow (this is to extract the flavor of the carrot).
|
||||
* Turn off the heat. Let it cool for 2 minutes.
|
||||
* Pour the cooked ground meat into the raw batter and mix well.
|
||||
* Turn the heat back on, add a thin layer of oil to the bottom of the frying pan.
|
||||
* Reduce to low heat, pour the batter into the pan, and spread it evenly. Ensure the thickness is not too high. You can lift the pan and tilt it to let the batter flow across the bottom to complete this step.
|
||||
* While the surface of the pie is still liquid, sprinkle the green onion segments on top.
|
||||
* Keep the heat low until the bottom is set.
|
||||
* Flip the pie and continue to fry on low heat until the other side is set.
|
||||
* After that, fry each side for an additional 20 seconds.
|
||||
* Turn off the heat and remove from the pan.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- After adding the ground meat and minced carrot to the batter, mix thoroughly to ensure the flavor is distributed throughout the pie.
|
||||
- The ground meat and minced carrot filling can be replaced with various pre-cooked fillings.

## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the Litti Filling
|
||||
|
||||
- In a bowl, mix 120g of roasted gram flour with the chopped onion, green chili, and ginger.
|
||||
- Add 3g of cumin seeds, 5g of sesame seeds, 3g of red chili powder, 3g of black salt, and 3g of salt.
|
||||
- Add 15ml of mustard oil, 10ml of lemon juice, and the chopped cilantro leaves.
|
||||
- Mix thoroughly until well combined. The filling should be loose yet hold its shape when pressed. Set aside.
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the Litti Dough
|
||||
|
||||
- Place 200g of whole wheat flour in a large bowl
|
||||
- Gradually add warm water while kneading until a *smooth and soft* dough forms
|
||||
- Let the dough rest for **15 minutes**
|
||||
- Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions
|
||||
- Flatten each portion by hand into a circular disc about 8cm in diameter (slightly thicker in the center)
|
||||
- Place approximately 15g of filling in the center of the disc
|
||||
- Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the filling, seal tightly, and roll into a ball
|
||||
|
||||
### Baking Litte
|
||||
|
||||
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
|
||||
- Place the Litte on a baking sheet and bake for **25-30 minutes**, flipping once halfway through, until the *surface is golden brown and cracked*
|
||||
- If using an open flame: Place the Litte directly over charcoal or a low gas flame, turning frequently, until *evenly charred*
|
||||
- While still hot, brush the surface of each Litte with ghee to allow it to *absorb fully*
|
||||
|
||||
### Making Chokha
|
||||
|
||||
- Roast eggplants, tomatoes, and potatoes directly over an open flame or in a 200°C oven for **20-25 minutes**, until the *skins are charred and the inside is completely soft*
|
||||
- Peel the roasted vegetables and mash the eggplants, tomatoes, and potatoes separately using a fork or hands
|
||||
- Combine the mashed vegetables in a bowl
|
||||
- Add minced garlic, green chilies, 4g of salt, and 15ml of mustard oil
|
||||
- Mix thoroughly until well combined
|
||||
- Garnish with cilantro leaves
|
||||
|
||||
### Serving
|
||||
|
||||
- Plate the Litte alongside the Chokha vegetable mash
|
||||
- Serve hot, tearing open the Litte by hand to dip into the Chokha
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Roasted Bengal gram flour (Sattu) is a specialty ingredient from Bihar, extremely nutritious, and rich in protein and fiber. It may be difficult to find in China, but you can make it at home: dry roast Bengal gram (Chana) until dark brown, then grind into powder.
|
||||
- Traditional Litte is baked over cow dung cake fires, which impart a unique smoky flavor. Home ovens or open flames can be used as substitutes.
|
||||
- Mustard oil is the soul of this dish; substitution is not recommended. If mustard oil is unavailable, rapeseed oil can be used as a secondary option.
|
||||
- Litte Chokha is one of India's oldest foods, reportedly dating back thousands of years, and served as rations for ancient soldiers.

# How to Make Naan
|
||||
|
||||
> Naan(नान)— Indian leavened flatbread
|
||||
|
||||
Naan is one of the most common flatbreads in the Indian subcontinent. Traditionally baked in a tandoor (clay oven), it features a slightly charred, crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. You can achieve a similar result at home using a skillet or oven. It is the perfect staple to accompany Indian curries. Total time: about 30 minutes (excluding the 1-hour dough fermentation).
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- Rolling pin
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Determine how many batches you want to make before starting. One batch yields 6 naans, sufficient for 2-3 people.
|
||||
|
||||
Per batch:
|
||||
|
||||
- All-purpose flour: 300g
|
||||
- Yogurt: 60ml
|
||||
- Dry yeast: 3g
|
||||

|
||||
- Black sesame seeds: 5g (optional)
|
||||
- Cilantro leaves: 10g (optional)
|
||||
- Garlic: 3 cloves (approx. 9g), minced (for garlic version, optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Kneading and Fermentation
|
||||
|
||||
- Dissolve 3g of dry yeast and 10g of sugar in 100ml of warm water (water temperature approx. 40°C; do not make it too hot).
|
||||
- Let it rest for **5 minutes** until *fine bubbles form on the surface* (indicating the yeast is active).
|
||||
- In a large bowl, combine 300g of all-purpose flour and 5g of salt, mixing evenly.
|
||||
- Pour in the yeast mixture, 60ml of yogurt, and 15ml of cooking oil.
|
||||
- Knead by hand until the dough is *smooth and soft* (the dough should be slightly softer than usual; slight stickiness is normal).
|
||||
- Knead for **8-10 minutes**.
|
||||
- Coat the surface of the dough with 3ml of oil to prevent drying.
|
||||
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
|
||||
- Let it rise in a warm place for **at least 1 hour**, until *the dough doubles in size*.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dividing and Rolling
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove the fermented dough and gently knead to release air.
|
||||
- Divide into 6 equal portions (each approx. 80g).
|
||||
- Take one portion and lightly dust your hands with 3ml of flour or oil.
|
||||
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a long oval or teardrop shape, about 4-5mm thick.
|
||||
- For garlic naan: Sprinkle minced garlic and cilantro leaves on the surface, then gently press them into the dough with the rolling pin.
|
||||
- You may sprinkle sesame seeds on the surface of the naan.
|
||||
|
||||
### Baking
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 1: Skillet (Recommended)**
|
||||
|
||||
- Heat a skillet (cast iron is best) over high heat until *extremely hot* (a drop of water should evaporate instantly).
|
||||
- Brush a thin layer of water on one side of the dough.
|
||||
- Place the dough in the skillet, water-side down.
|
||||
- Bake for **1-2 minutes**, until *the bottom develops golden-brown spots and the dough begins to puff up*.
|
||||
- Flip the dough and continue baking for **1-2 minutes**.
|
||||
- If using a gas stove: After flipping, use tongs to lift the dough and hold it directly over the open flame for **a few seconds** to puff it up quickly.
|
||||
- Immediately after removing from heat, brush ghee or butter onto the surface.
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 2: Oven**
|
||||
|
||||
- Preheat the oven to its highest temperature (typically 250°C / 480°F).
|
||||
- Place the dough on a baking sheet.
|
||||
- Bake for **3-5 minutes**, until *the surface is golden brown and puffed up*.
|
||||
- Remove from the oven and brush with ghee or butter.
|
||||
|
||||
### Serving
|
||||
|
||||
- Serve hot.
|
||||
- Pairs well with any Indian curry, such as Butter Chicken or Red Kidney Bean Curry.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The softness of the dough is key. Dough that is too hard will result in dry, tough flatbreads. The dough should be moist and slightly sticky to the touch.
|
||||
- Cast iron skillets perform better than non-stick pans, providing higher heat and better charring.
|
||||
- Ghee or butter must be applied immediately after baking; this is crucial for the aroma and texture of Indian flatbreads.
|
||||
- Besides plain Naan, common variations include: Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan, and Butter Naan.
|
||||
- Naan has a history of hundreds of years in India, with the earliest records dating back to 1300, believed to originate from Persian culture.

||||
- Green Chilies: 3, slit lengthwise
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Marinating the Chicken (1 hour in advance)
|
||||
|
||||
- In a large bowl, mix yogurt, grated ginger and garlic, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and lemon juice.
|
||||
- Add the chicken chunks and coat them evenly with the marinade.
|
||||
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for **at least 1 hour** (overnight is best).
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing Saffron Milk and Frying Onions
|
||||
|
||||
- Soak 0.5g of saffron in 30ml of warm milk for **15 minutes**, and set aside.
|
||||
- Pour 50ml of cooking oil into a pan and heat over medium heat.
|
||||
- Add thin slices of onion and stir-fry until *deep golden brown and crispy* (about 12-15 minutes; patience is required).
|
||||
- Remove the fried onions, drain excess oil with paper towels, and set aside.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cooking Par-boiled Rice
|
||||
|
||||
- Drain the soaked Basmati rice.
|
||||
- Bring 2000ml of water to a boil in a large pot.
|
||||
- Add bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and 10g of salt.
|
||||
- Add the rice and boil over high heat for **5-6 minutes**, until the rice is *about 70% cooked* (soft on the outside but still firm in the center).
|
||||
- Drain immediately, discard the whole spices, and set aside.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assembly and Dum Cooking
|
||||
|
||||
- Grease the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pot with 15g of ghee.
|
||||
- Layer 1: Spread the marinated chicken evenly on the bottom of the pot.
|
||||
- Layer 2: Add half of the par-boiled rice.
|
||||
- Sprinkle half of the fried onions, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and green chilies.
|
||||
- Layer 3: Add the remaining rice.
|
||||
- Sprinkle the remaining fried onions, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves.
|
||||
- Evenly drizzle the saffron milk over the top layer of rice.
|
||||
- Place the remaining 15g of ghee (cut into small pieces and scattered) on top.
|
||||
- **Seal the lid**: Seal the gaps around the pot's rim using a dough made from flour and water (traditional method), or wrap the pot's rim with aluminum foil before placing the lid.
|
||||
- Heat over high heat for **3 minutes** until steam begins to escape.
|
||||
- Then reduce to the lowest heat and **cook on dum for 25-30 minutes**.
|
||||
- After turning off the heat, **do not open the lid** and let it rest for another **5 minutes**.
|
||||
- Open the lid, gently fold the layers together from the bottom using a large spatula to mix evenly.
|
||||
- Serve with Raita.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Basmati rice is essential for making Biryani; regular rice cannot replicate its unique long-grain aroma. It is available on major Chinese e-commerce platforms.
|
||||
- Sealed dum cooking is the essence of this dish. Steam must not escape, or the rice will dry out.
|
||||
- The rice should only be cooked to 70% doneness, as it will continue to absorb moisture and cook further during the dum process. Overcooking will result in mushy rice in the final dish.
|
||||
- There are two major schools of Indian Biryani: Hyderabadi style uses raw meat at the bottom for dum cooking, while Lucknowi style pre-cooks the meat before assembling with rice. This recipe uses the most common hybrid method.
|
||||
- This dish is a staple at weddings and festivals in India and is known as the "national dish of India."

|
||||
- White pepper powder (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting, determine how many servings you wish to prepare. One serving is sufficient for 3 people.
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
- Rice: 300 g
|
||||
- Water: 310 ml (300 ml for firmer rice, 325 ml for softer rice; add an extra 20 ml if using winter bamboo shoots)
|
||||
- Leafy greens: 400 g
|
||||
- Salted pork: 150 g
|
||||
- Winter bamboo shoots: 100 g
|
||||
- Lard: 15 g
|
||||
- Cooking wine: 15 ml
|
||||
- White sugar: 0-3 g
|
||||
- White pepper powder: 1 g
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- If using winter bamboo shoots, slice them thinly and boil in cold water for 10 minutes to remove bitterness.
|
||||
- Cut the salted pork into 1 cm cubes.
|
||||
- In a cold pot, add 10 g of lard, cooking wine, and white sugar along with the salted pork and bamboo shoots. Stir-fry over medium-low heat until the meat turns translucent and bubbles form.
|
||||
- Chop the leafy greens. Separate the stems from the leaves. Cut the stems into 0.5 cm cubes. Cut the leaves into 2-3 cm long by 1-1.5 cm wide pieces.
|
||||
- Stir-fry the stems until they turn a vibrant emerald green.
|
||||
- Wash the rice thoroughly and add it to the rice cooker with water.
|
||||
- Spread the fried salted pork and stems evenly over the rice.
|
||||
- Start the normal rice cooking mode. In the last 10 minutes, open the lid and quickly spread the chopped leaves over the rice.
|
||||
- After cooking, let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, drizzle with 5 g of lard and white pepper powder, and mix vigorously until well combined.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- When spreading the fried salted pork and stems over the rice, do not stir them into the rice during the cooking process.
|
||||
- Avoid buying "hometown fresh salted pork" as it tends to be very salty. If your salted pork is not mild, you can mix in fresh pork belly cubes, reduce the amount of salted pork, or soak the lean meat parts in 5% sugar water for 20 minutes.

# How to Make Basic Milk Bread
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Bread is a common staple food. Ordinary bread requires long fermentation and kneading times. However, this recipe simplifies the steps as much as possible to make it beginner-friendly while preserving its flavor. Of course, if you have higher requirements, you can refer to other bread recipes.
|
||||
|
||||
This recipe **requires many additional tools**, which will be introduced in detail in the following sections.
|
||||
|
||||
This recipe is aimed at **baking beginners**, with a **medium** difficulty level and an estimated preparation time of **200 minutes**.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
### Required Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
- High-gluten or all-purpose flour *(Preferably use high-gluten flour, but **avoid using low-gluten flour**. All "all-purpose flour" mentioned without special instructions refers to all-purpose flour.)*
|
||||
- Eggs *(Size and weight are not critical.)*
|
||||
- Sugar *(If you have syrup, that would be best.)*
|
||||
- Dry yeast
|
||||
- Salt
|
||||
- Milk, light cream, condensed milk, or milk powder *(It is best to use **milk powder** for a rich milky flavor, but **do not use any compound milk powders**, such as adult or infant formula, due to unstable chemical properties. You can also mix two dairy products. Try to **avoid ingredients with added sugar**, as the actual sugar content may exceed the amount recommended in this recipe.)*
|
||||
- Butter or corn oil *(If the **selected dairy product has a very high fat content, you may skip adding extra fat**. Preferably use unsalted animal butter. Soybean oil may have a bean-like aroma, so it is best to avoid using it.)*
|
||||
- Vital wheat gluten (optional)
|
||||
- Vanilla extract (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
### Necessary Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Oven *(**Do not use an oven without temperature control**)*
|
||||
- Measuring cups
|
||||
- Cloth
|
||||
- Rolling pin
|
||||
- Parchment paper or molds
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional Ingredients, Tools, and Introductions to Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
>
|
||||
>
|
||||
>Baking is a distinct category of culinary arts, so its tools differ significantly from those used in everyday cooking. Below are descriptions of commonly used tools.
|
||||
|
||||
- ① Measuring cup: Used to measure ingredients. Measuring cups are generally measured in units of "cups." Do not shake the cup while measuring to avoid under-measuring the ingredients.
|
||||
- ② Spatula: Also known as a silicone scraper, it is used for stirring and scraping batter or dough stuck to the edges of containers.
|
||||
- ③ Cloth: Placed over the dough surface to prevent excessive moisture loss during the preparation process. Choose between a damp or dry cloth based on the specific requirements of the recipe. It is recommended to use a steamer liner cloth (not disposable) or plastic wrap.
|
||||
- ④ Oven: Used for baking ingredients. Ovens are categorized into small, economical models and large, professional ones. Economical ovens often have poorer insulation, which can lead to uneven heating; in such cases, lower the temperature and extend the baking time. Ovens must be preheated before use. This will be discussed in detail in subsequent chapters.
|
||||
- ⑤ Bench scraper: Used to scrape dough off the work surface and cut dough into appropriate sizes. A clean knife can also be used as an alternative.
|
||||
- ⑥ Rolling pin: Used to flatten and press the dough.
|
||||
- ⑦ Spray bottle: Used to evenly coat the dough or container surface with water or oil, helping to create a crispy crust and prevent sticking.
|
||||
- ⑧ Sifter: Used to evenly distribute flour or remove lumps and impurities.
|
||||
- ⑨ Work surface or silicone mat: Used as a surface for kneading, preventing the dough and the surrounding area from getting dirty.
|
||||
- ⑩ Brush: Used to brush egg wash onto the dough, giving the finished product a shiny, glossy, and attractive appearance.
|
||||
- 11. Parchment paper: Prevents the baked goods from sticking to other items and makes it difficult to release them from the mold. Parchment paper is heat-resistant and safe to use. Some parchment papers have a specific side orientation, so be careful when using them.
|
||||
- 12. Mold: Helps shape the bread during baking. While there are few specific requirements for bread molds, cake molds should ideally be made of anodized aluminum and coated with a non-stick spray mixture to help the cake rise properly.
|
||||
- Vital wheat gluten: This is a protein extracted from wheat that forms a mesh-like structure when it absorbs water. It is widely used in daily life, such as in making seitan.
|
||||
- Vanilla extract: A highly purified natural flavoring derived from vanilla beans. It is commonly used to make vanilla-flavored foods and also helps neutralize off-flavors, such as the eggy smell.
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
**Note: Although specific ingredient quantities are provided, factors such as indoor temperature, humidity, and even the amount of yeast in the air can affect the preparation process. This recipe will provide adjustment suggestions as needed during the process.**
|
||||
|
||||
The "cup" is a common baking measurement unit because it allows for easy conversion between volume and weight. 1 cup = 250 ml. Generally, 1 cup of flour = 120 g. For more conversions, see the appendix.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, larger quantities are measured in cups, and smaller quantities are measured in grams.
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sourdough Starter**
|
||||
- Flour: 1 cup (fill the cup and level off the excess with a spoon; do not shake)
|
||||
- Warm water (30°C / 86°F, comfortable to touch): 1 cup
|
||||
- Yeast: 2 g
|
||||
- Salt: 2 g
|
||||
- **Dough**
|
||||
- Flour: 2½ cups
|
||||
- Egg: 1
|
||||
- Sugar or syrup: ⅛ cup
|
||||
- Dairy products: ¼ cup total (reconstitute milk powder with water)
|
||||
- Butter or corn oil: ⅛ cup
|
||||
- Vital wheat gluten: ¼ ~ ½ cup (optional)
|
||||
- Vanilla extract: 3 g (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Making the Sourdough Starter
|
||||
|
||||
The sourdough starter is a pre-fermented product. Pre-fermentation not only increases the success rate but also allows for a longer fermentation time, which enhances the bread's flavor. If possible, ferment the starter for 4 days to achieve the best flavor. However, for beginners, a starter fermented for just 30 minutes will already yield impressive results. Let's proceed with making the starter.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
1. First, mix the yeast with ***warm water at 30°C (86°F)*** using a spatula or kitchen utensil until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, mix it with the flour and stir until uniform. The starter at this stage should be a **very thick** batter.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
2. Cover the batter with a cloth and place it in a **warm place** to ferment for 45 to 60 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. The final batter should have many bubbles on the surface and have visibly increased in volume.
|
||||
|
||||
**Did the fermentation fail? Check here:**
|
||||
|
||||
>1. Ensure the yeast has not expired.
|
||||
>2. Ensure the water temperature is appropriate.
|
||||
>3. Extend the fermentation time; you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight.
|
||||
>4. The temperature might be too low. In this case, preheat the oven to 60°C (140°F), turn it off, and place the starter inside to ferment.
|
||||
>5. You can add an equal amount of yeast, mix well, and restart fermentation, extending the time.
|
||||
>6. Try adding 3 g of sugar and fermenting again.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to make a "permanent" sourdough starter?**
|
||||
|
||||
>With a starter, baking bread anytime is no longer a dream! You can make a "permanent" starter using the following method:
|
||||
>
|
||||
>1. After making the starter as described above, store it in a cool place (even in the refrigerator!). Every 1–3 days, sprinkle a thin layer of flour on top (just enough to cover the visible batter thickness), stir again, and continue covering with a cloth to ferment. If the fermentation is too fast and the volume becomes too large, discard a portion.
|
||||
>2. When you are ready to bake bread, keep only the amount of starter equal to its pre-fermentation volume to continue fermenting, and use the rest for the dough.
|
||||
>3. Over time, the starter will develop a unique aroma, which is the best "ingredient" for bread!
|
||||
|
||||
### Making the Dough
|
||||
|
||||
With the starter, you're halfway there!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
1. Combine all remaining ingredients with the starter using a spatula. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure thorough mixing. Once the dough comes together and no dry flour remains, press it with one clean, dry hand while holding the bowl with the other to form a cohesive mass. Then, turn it out onto a work surface or silicone mat.
|
||||
|
||||
> The dough should now be formed and relatively soft. If it fails to come together and is very sticky, there may be insufficient flour; add ¼ cup of flour and mix again until it forms. If the dough has formed but there is still a lot of dry flour, it needs more kneading. Increase the kneading time accordingly.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> When pressing the dough, push it away with your fist, fold it over, and push it away again. Repeat this process to incorporate all flour from the sides of the bowl into the dough.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use the heel of your hand to push the dough away, fold it over, and push it away again until there are no dry flour lumps on the surface. The dough will not yet be smooth.
|
||||
|
||||
> If using a work surface, some sticking may occur. Use a scraper or knife to lift the dough if needed.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> If the dough has formed but is quite stiff, it may lack moisture. Lightly wet your hands or use a spray bottle to moisten the surface evenly, then cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes. Repeat if necessary.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. Spray the inside of a container (at least three times the volume of the dough) with vegetable oil (or coat it evenly by hand). Place the dough inside, cover with a cloth, and let it ferment for 1 hour.
|
||||
|
||||
> If fermentation issues arise, refer to the troubleshooting section under "Starter Preparation" for solutions to failed fermentation.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The surface of the fermented dough should be tacky. If it is not, lightly wet your hands or use a spray bottle to moisten the surface evenly, then let it ferment for another 20 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The dough should now be twice its original size. Lightly dust a work surface or silicone mat with flour (just enough to see the surface underneath). Turn the dough out and press it gently with your hands to release the air.
|
||||
5. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 1 cm thick sheet. Then, roll it up tightly from one end to the other, ensuring no air pockets remain.
|
||||
6. Rotate the dough 90° and repeat steps 4 and 5.
|
||||
7. Shape the bread and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a greased mold.
|
||||
|
||||
> You can spray the baking sheet lightly with oil or brush it with a thin layer of butter before placing the parchment paper. This will prevent the paper from shifting.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Let it ferment in the tray or mold for 30 to 45 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
> If fermentation issues arise, refer to the troubleshooting section under "Starter Preparation" for solutions to failed fermentation.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Meanwhile, preheat the oven.
|
||||
|
||||
> Oven preheating: Preheat the oven to its highest temperature for at least 20 minutes without any food inside.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Use scissors or a knife to score several slits on the bread for decoration.
|
||||
11. Brush the bread with egg wash. (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
11. Place in the oven and bake at 180°C (top and bottom heat) for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 165°C and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
> Oven temperatures can vary. During baking, observe the bread. If there is no noticeable color change after 30 minutes, the temperature is too low. In this case, increase the temperature by 5–10°C or bake for an additional 5–10 minutes.
|
||||
> After baking, taste the bread. If the crust tastes bitter (note: as long as it isn't bitter, it is not overbaked), the temperature is too high. Try reducing the temperature by 5–10°C or decreasing the baking time by 5–10 minutes.
|
||||
> If the exterior is caramelized but the interior is undercooked, reduce the temperature by 5–15°C and extend the baking time by 10–20 minutes.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> If the bread crust becomes too hard or cracks significantly, cover the bread with aluminum foil and remove it during the last 10 minutes of baking, or place another baking tray upside down on the top rack and remove it during the last 10 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
12. Allow to cool completely, then store in a food-grade bag. It can be kept fresh for one week. Frozen storage lasts for one month.
|
||||
|
||||
> After sealing the bread in a food bag overnight, both the interior and the crust will become softer. Therefore, the best time to enjoy it is the next morning.

a. Take a large piece of bread and cut it in half horizontally. Place it in a pan over low heat and warm it for 1 to 2 minutes (generally no oil is needed, but if you prefer a crispy crust, you can brush butter on the bread surface before frying).
|
||||
b. Spray 3 to 4 pumps of oil into the pan using a spray bottle, heat over high heat until the pan is slightly smoking, then reduce to the lowest heat setting.
|
||||
c. Add one egg to the pan and cover with a lid. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes. Then flip the egg and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
|
||||
(This method produces a runny yolk egg. If you prefer a fully cooked egg, add up to 1 ml of water before flipping, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the water evaporates. This will result in a fully cooked egg.)
|
||||
d. Spread your favorite sauce on both sides of the bread, and place the egg in between.

# How to Make Spaghetti Bolognese
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Spaghetti Bolognese is a very easy dish to prepare. Once you get the hang of it, you can make it in under 15 minutes, saying goodbye to instant noodles forever.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Spaghetti
|
||||
- Spaghetti Sauce (Bolognese Sauce)
|
||||
- Ground Meat
|
||||
- White Onion (Purple onion also works)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quantities
|
||||
|
||||
Determine how many servings you want to make before starting. One serving is enough for 2 people.
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
- Spaghetti: 180g (adjust according to appetite)
|
||||
- Ground Meat: 80g (adjust according to appetite)
|
||||
- Onion: About half a large onion (approx. 150g, typically twice the weight of the meat)
|
||||
- Spaghetti Sauce: 300g (adjust as needed)
|
||||
- Cooking Oil: 10-15ml
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Add water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Then add the spaghetti (cook for 6–12 minutes).
|
||||
- While the water is heating up, you can prepare the sauce, but keep an eye on the pasta cooking time.
|
||||
- Dice the onion.
|
||||
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add the diced onion.
|
||||
- Stir constantly to prevent the onion from burning until it becomes translucent.
|
||||
- Add the ground meat and continue stirring (breaking it up) until the meat turns brown.
|
||||
- Add the spaghetti sauce and stir briefly.
|
||||
- Drain the cooked spaghetti and mix it with the sauce (or simply pour the sauce directly over the pasta).
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Spaghetti comes in various thicknesses. Check the cooking time indicated on the pasta package before cooking.
|
||||
- Spaghetti sauce is not ketchup. The ketchup used in daily life is accurately called "ketchup," while spaghetti sauce, although both are seasoned tomato-based sauces, uses different seasonings.

# How to Make Handmade Dumplings
|
||||
|
||||
Dumplings are one of the most delicious staple foods. They are filling and easy to season to your taste, making them a great option for students in the US who can't get their hands on fresh dumplings to satisfy their cravings. Beginners typically need about 3 hours to complete them, and the difficulty level is relatively high.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Rolling pin
|
||||
- Flour
|
||||
- Cold water
|
||||
- Bowl with a diameter of 30cm or more
|
||||
- Sesame oil
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
- For one person, approximately 20 dumplings
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
- Flour: 200g
|
||||
- Cold water: 150ml
|
||||
- Sesame oil: 2-3ml
|
||||
- Lean minced meat: 250g
|
||||
- Fatty minced meat: 20g # Optional if you prefer not to use it
|
||||
- Ginger: 3g
|
||||
- Scallions: 15g
|
||||
- Salt: 3g
|
||||
- Oyster sauce: 2ml
|
||||
- Sesame oil: 2ml
|
||||
- Light soy sauce: 2ml
|
||||
- Egg: 1
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Making Dumpling Wrappers
|
||||
|
||||
- Add all the flour to the bowl.
|
||||
- Add the sesame oil.
|
||||
- Make a small well in the center of the flour.
|
||||
- Add water in 4-5 stages, mixing until you achieve a slightly dry, crumbly dough.
|
||||
- Stop adding water and press the dough firmly with your hands.
|
||||
- Continue pressing until the dough is smooth and cleans the sides of the bowl (this step is known as "smooth dough, clean bowl").
|
||||
- Place the dough on the table and cover the bowl upside down on the table. Let the dough rest for about 45 minutes at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
|
||||
- After resting, knead the dough into a long strip, gather it into a ball, knead it into a strip again, and repeat this process 3 times.
|
||||
- Roll the dough into a long strip and cut it into 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with a diameter of about 3-3.5cm.
|
||||
- Flatten the dough balls. Dust your hands, the table, the rolling pin, and the dough with flour to prevent sticking.
|
||||
- Use the rolling pin to flatten the dough into a circle about 8cm in diameter and 2mm thick, with the center slightly thicker (by about 1mm) than the edges.
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the Filling
|
||||
|
||||
- Peel the pork, keeping some fat, and cut it into small pieces.
|
||||
- Use two cleavers (recommended) to mince the pork into fine bits and place them in a bowl.
|
||||
- Mince the scallions and ginger, add them to the meat bowl, and mix well.
|
||||
- Wash the chives and cut them into pieces less than 3mm long.
|
||||
- Mix the chives with the minced meat. Add 2ml of oyster sauce, 2ml of light soy sauce, and 2ml of sesame oil. Add the egg white from one egg and mix thoroughly by hand.
|
||||
- Let the filling rest for 30 minutes before starting to wrap the dumplings.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping the Dumplings
|
||||
|
||||
- Place a wrapper in your left hand. Try to keep the side facing up (where the filling will go) free of flour to ensure it seals properly.
|
||||
- Use your right hand and chopsticks to place filling about half the diameter of the wrapper onto the center.
|
||||
- Fold the wrapper over the filling, sealing the edges firmly by pinching. You don't need to make decorative pleats; just ensure the wrapper doesn't leak.
|
||||
|
||||
### Boiling the Dumplings
|
||||
|
||||
- Use a pot large enough to hold 20 dumplings, or cook them in batches.
|
||||
- Fill the pot with water to about 3/4 of its height.
|
||||
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then add the dumplings and reduce the heat to medium.
|
||||
- After adding the dumplings and when bubbles appear, add 50ml of cold water along the side of the pot. Repeat this step twice.
|
||||
- When the water boils for the third time, add another 50ml of cold water. Once it boils again, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 60 seconds before removing them from the pot.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- There is no need to cover the pot when boiling dumplings. Adding water three times prevents the dumplings from staying at a rolling boil, which could cause the skins to break and turn into dough sheets.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some supplementary methods for this dish, including but not limited to:
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following ingredients:
|
||||
|
||||
* Black vinegar: 10ml
|
||||
* Ginger: a small piece, 50g
|
||||
* Sesame oil: 2 drops
|
||||
* Garlic/Garlic paste: 3 cloves/person
|
||||
|
||||
* Consider serving with black vinegar. Recommended amount: 10-20ml.
|
||||
* Consider shredding the ginger and mixing it with 20ml of black vinegar in a small bowl to create a dipping sauce for a richer flavor.
|
||||
* Consider adding 1-3 drops of sesame oil when serving with black vinegar and mixing it as a dipping sauce.
|
||||
* Consider adding crushed garlic paste when serving with black vinegar and mixing it as a dipping sauce. (Garlic flavor will linger in the mouth; if you need to have face-to-face conversations after the meal, it is recommended to skip this or clean your mouth.)

|
||||
- Cooking oil
|
||||
- Salt
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Determine how many servings you want to make before starting. One serving is sufficient for 1–2 people.
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
- Cold rice: 500g
|
||||
- Eggs: 2–3
|
||||
- Frozen, peeled, deveined white shrimp: 10–15 pieces
|
||||
- Canned luncheon meat: 150g (Shanghai Maylin ham luncheon meat is recommended; each can is 340g, so use half a can per batch)
|
||||
- Green peas: 30g
|
||||
- Carrots: 30g
|
||||
- Corn kernels: 30g
|
||||
- Scallions: 1 stalk
|
||||
- Cooking oil: 30–40ml
|
||||
- Salt: 12–15g
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Dice carrots into 0.2cm × 0.2cm × 0.2cm cubes. Set aside.
|
||||
- Dice luncheon meat into 0.2cm × 0.2cm × 0.2cm cubes. Set aside.
|
||||
- Separate the white and green parts of the scallion. Cut each into 0.25–0.5cm segments and set them aside separately.
|
||||
- Beat the eggs in a bowl, mix well, and set aside.
|
||||
- Boil the carrots, green peas, and corn kernels until cooked, then remove and set aside (do not discard the water).
|
||||
- Boil the shrimp until cooked, then remove and set aside (the water can be discarded).
|
||||
- Heat the wok and add oil. Refer to [Learning Stir-frying and Pan-frying](../../../tips/learn/学习炒与煎.md) for the "hot wok, cold oil" technique.
|
||||
- For the second addition of oil, use 20–30ml. Once the oil is heated, slowly pour in the beaten eggs (maintaining a stream diameter of about 0.5cm from the bowl to the oil). Do not stir immediately.
|
||||
- As soon as the eggs set, remove them from the wok and set aside.
|
||||
- Add the luncheon meat, green peas, carrots, corn kernels, and shrimp to the wok. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, then remove and set aside.
|
||||
- Rinse the wok with water to remove any residue, ensuring it is clean (oil is fine, but no food particles should remain).
|
||||
- Heat the wok again with 10ml of oil. Add the white parts of the scallion and stir-fry until fragrant.
|
||||
- Reduce the heat to low (if the oil temperature is too high, turn off the heat for 1–2 minutes). Add the rice and use a spatula to quickly press and toss the rice, ensuring it is evenly coated with oil and the grains remain separate.
|
||||
- Add the cooked eggs back in. Continue pressing and tossing to break up the eggs and mix them thoroughly with the rice.
|
||||
- Increase the heat to high. Add all the remaining reserved ingredients. Stir-fry quickly for 1–2 minutes.
|
||||
- Sprinkle in the salt and stir-fry until fully incorporated.
|
||||
- Add the green parts of the scallion and stir-fry for 1 minute.
|
||||
- Turn off the heat and plate the dish.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- If your arms feel sore after cooking, this is normal. Consider strengthening your upper body exercises.
|
||||
- Supermarkets often sell frozen mixed bags of peas, carrots, and corn. Using these can save you the trouble of dicing. Pams Mixed Veges is recommended for its low price, or any similar product will work (see image below).

# How to Make Pizza Dough
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Making pizza is generally quite simple. The most debated and slightly tricky part is the pizza dough. Once you have the dough ready, you can simply add your favorite toppings and bake it. Therefore, this guide focuses on how to make pizza dough.
|
||||
|
||||
The dough in this tutorial is a soft dough made with a cold, overnight fermentation process.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
**Ingredients**
|
||||
|
||||
- All-purpose flour
|
||||
- Water (warm)
|
||||
- Angel brand dry yeast
|
||||
- Table salt
|
||||
- Olive oil
|
||||
- White sugar
|
||||
|
||||
**Tools**
|
||||
|
||||
- Oven
|
||||
- Baking parchment paper
|
||||
- Pizza stone (optional; a regular baking tray works too)
|
||||
- Rolling pin (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
An 8 to 9-inch pizza requires approximately 125g of flour, which is roughly enough for one person (an adult male might find it just sufficient).
|
||||
|
||||
Ratio of Ingredients Mixing
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
面粉 : 水 : 橄榄油 : 酵母粉 : 盐 : 糖
|
||||
100 : 70 : 7 : 1 : 0.6 : 0.6
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Example
|
||||
|
||||
To make 4 pizza crusts at once, you need:
|
||||
|
||||
- Flour 125g x 4 = 500g,
|
||||
- Water 70 x 5 = 350g,
|
||||
- Olive oil 7 x 5 = 35g,
|
||||
- Yeast 1 x 5 = 5g,
|
||||
- Salt 0.6 x 5 = 3g,
|
||||
- Sugar 0.6 x 5 = 3g
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water and stir slightly. Set aside.
|
||||
- Take the prepared flour and sequentially add salt, olive oil, and granulated sugar.
|
||||
- Combine the water and flour mixture. Add the water gradually while stirring until all the water is incorporated.
|
||||
- Stir until no dry flour is visible.
|
||||
- Place the dough in a container approximately three times its volume, seal it, and refrigerate (4°C). **Wait 8–12 hours. It is usually best to prepare it in the evening for use the next day.**
|
||||
- Check if the dough has risen sufficiently. **It is considered ready when it has roughly doubled in size.**
|
||||
- Take the risen dough and divide it evenly into four portions. Cover each with plastic wrap and set aside.
|
||||
- Dust a work surface with a generous amount of dry flour and begin kneading.
|
||||
- Since the dough is quite wet, dusting it with dry flour will prevent it from sticking to your hands. You don't need to knead it too much; just until the surface becomes slightly smooth.
|
||||
- Stretch the dough by hand or roll it out with a rolling pin. It doesn't have to be perfectly round, as long as the thickness is even and it fits in your oven.
|
||||
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the crust on top, add your preferred ingredients, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
|
||||
- For fruit pizzas: Bake at 180°C on the top rack and 220°C on the bottom rack for 16 minutes.
|
||||
- For meat and vegetable pizzas: Bake at 200°C on the top rack and 230°C on the bottom rack for 18 minutes.
|
||||
- Drizzle with salad dressing or your favorite sauce and enjoy!
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Pay close attention to the water ratio.
|
||||
- Oven quality varies. Observe the first batch carefully to understand how your oven's heat affects the pizza.
|
||||
- Unless specified as low-gluten or high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour is typically used.
|
||||
- Fruits that release a lot of water, such as watermelon and oranges, should not be used as toppings.

|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
### Main Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
- Curry roux blocks (Hodo brand recommended)
|
||||
- Potatoes
|
||||
- Carrots
|
||||
- Onions
|
||||
- Meat (pork, chicken, or beef)
|
||||
- Garlic cloves
|
||||
|
||||
### Secondary Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
Optional ingredients for garnish
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- Bacon (ready-to-eat)
|
||||
- Fried egg or [Sunny-side-up egg](../../breakfast/太阳蛋.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Proportions
|
||||
|
||||
Ingredient quantities are proportional to the amount of curry roux. This guide uses **half a box of Hodo curry blocks (115g)** as an example. Half a box serves approximately six bowls. The curry tastes even better after being refrigerated, so don't worry about not finishing it all in one sitting.
|
||||
|
||||
- 2 Onions
|
||||
- 2 Potatoes
|
||||
- 1 Carrot
|
||||
- 2-3 Garlic cloves
|
||||
- 1 kg (2 jin) Meat
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Ingredient Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
- Trim the ends of the carrots, peel them, and cut into chunks.
|
||||
- Peel the outer layers of the onions, remove the core, and slice into crescent shapes.
|
||||
- Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks.
|
||||
- Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
|
||||
- Peel the garlic, flatten, and mince.
|
||||
- Break the curry blocks into small pieces to increase surface area and speed up dissolution.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Cooking Process
|
||||
|
||||
- Heat oil in a pan, add garlic and meat, and **stir-fry quickly** until the meat *turns white on the surface*.
|
||||
- Add the carrots and **stir-fry quickly** until evenly heated.
|
||||
- Add the onions and **stir-fry quickly** until the onions *become translucent*.
|
||||
- Add the potatoes and continue stirring until the potatoes *become soft* (you can check with chopsticks).
|
||||
- Add enough water to cover all ingredients. Once boiling, **wait for 15 minutes**.
|
||||
- Turn off the heat, add the curry blocks, and stir.
|
||||
- Once the curry has melted, turn the heat back on and **stir slowly for 10 minutes** to prevent sticking.
|
||||
- Remove from heat when the mixture *reaches a thick, viscous consistency*.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Reheating After Refrigeration
|
||||

# How to Make Japanese Gyu-don
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
### Main Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
- Onion (Be sure to use onions with white-yellow skin; do not use purple onions)
|
||||
- Fatty beef (Hot pot-style fatty beef is fine, or you can use original-cut beef slices)
|
||||
- Green onion (Pre-cut green onion segments can also be used)
|
||||
- White sesame seeds
|
||||
- Mirin (A common Japanese seasoning available on major e-commerce platforms; cooking wine can be used as a substitute)
|
||||
|
||||
### Secondary Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
Optional ingredients for garnish
|
||||
|
||||
- [Onsen Egg](../../breakfast/Onsen%20Egg/Onsen%20Egg.md)
|
||||
- Dashi (Broth made from dried bonito flakes and kelp, used to enhance umami)
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Ingredient quantities are proportional to the amount of rice. The calculations below use **one cup of rice (160ml)** as an example. This is approximately enough for two people. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, though the taste may not be as good.
|
||||
|
||||
- 1 Onion
|
||||
- 250g Fatty beef
|
||||
- 1~2 Green onions
|
||||
- 5g White sesame seeds
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Ingredient Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
- Peel the outer layer of the onion, remove the core, and slice it into crescent shapes.
|
||||
- Wash the green onions and cut them into 0.5cm pieces.
|
||||
- Heat a pan and add the white sesame seeds. **Shake the pan back and forth** to evenly toast the seeds until they are *lightly golden*.
|
||||
- Blanch the fatty beef for 1 minute, then remove and drain.
|
||||
- Mix 40g of `mirin` (or 30g of `cooking wine`), 30g of `soy sauce`, 20g of `oyster sauce`, 5g of `sugar`, and 5g of `dark soy sauce` (optional, for color) in a bowl to create the `sauce` (you can place the bowl directly on a digital scale for this step).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Cooking Process
|
||||
|
||||
- Heat oil in a pan and add the onions. **Stir-fry quickly** until the onions *become translucent*.
|
||||
- Reduce the heat to low, add 250g of water (or dashi), then increase the heat to high and **wait for 3 minutes**.
|
||||
- Add the beef and the `sauce`.
|
||||
- **Constantly stir** all ingredients for **10 minutes** to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
|
||||
- Turn off the heat.
|
||||
- Serve the gyu-don over [rice](../Rice/Rice%20in%20Rice%20Cooker.md) (be sure to pour some of the sauce over the rice).
|
||||
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions and white sesame seeds. Done.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Reheating After Refrigeration
|
||||
|
||||
Take out the desired portion of the refrigerated gyu-don, reheat it, and serve it over [rice](../Rice/Rice%20in%20Rice%20Cooker.md).
|
||||
|
||||
- Microwave: High power for 2-3 minutes for a single serving.
|
||||
- Stovetop: Add an extra 50ml of water and **stir constantly** while heating.

|
||||
while(牛丼.咸度 < 预期) 加入(1 g)酱油; 牛丼.咸度 = 尝一口汤汁;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- If using high-quality beef, you can skip blanching to better preserve its flavor. Since mirin is added, the gamey taste will be minimized, so there's no need to worry about the beef being undercooked. Heating for 10 minutes is sufficient to cook it through.
|
||||
- If possible, add 15g of sake.

# How to Make Soup Noodles
|
||||
|
||||
Soup noodles are a staple dish enjoyed by many. You can add any ingredients you like based on your personal preferences. They are nutritious, combining both solid and liquid components, with readily available ingredients and a simple preparation process—just follow the steps.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- **Noodle Ingredients**: You can use handmade noodles, vermicelli (long-shredded noodles), or "mianyu" (noodle dumplings). Alternatively, instant noodle blocks, various types of glass noodles (cellophane noodles), or any other noodle format of your choice works.
|
||||
- **Vegetable/Protein Ingredients**: It is recommended to balance meat and vegetables. Simply wash your preferred ingredients. For example:
|
||||
- Meat such as beef, lamb, fish, or shrimp (can be raw or cooked)
|
||||
- Eggs such as chicken, duck, goose, or ostrich eggs
|
||||
- Soy products such as tofu blocks, gluten strands, or tofu skin
|
||||
- Leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, or Indian lettuce
|
||||
- Vegetables such as green peppers, tomatoes, or carrots.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quantities
|
||||
|
||||
- **Noodle Ingredients**: For one person, use an amount equivalent to a standard instant noodle block, typically between 70g and 230g.
|
||||
- **Cold Water**: Add enough water to submerge the noodles, generally between 200ml and 400ml.
|
||||
- **Vegetables/Proteins**: The volume should be roughly equivalent to that of the noodles.
|
||||
- Note: The volume of leafy greens can be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Cut the vegetable/protein ingredients into chunks with sides no longer than 4cm to ensure they cook evenly.
|
||||
- If using raw meat, place it in cold water first. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam/scum from the surface, then turn off the heat and remove the partially cooked meat for later use.
|
||||
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat.
|
||||
- Add ingredients that take longer to cook first (e.g., the partially cooked meat, mushrooms, etc.). To ensure they are fully cooked, time for 10 minutes after the water boils. For particularly large chunks that are difficult to cook, add an extra 5 minutes.
|
||||
- Add the noodles to the pot. Stir occasionally to ensure the noodles and broth mix well. Keep the surface at a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes. White foam may form on the surface after adding noodles; you can slightly lift the lid to vent steam or remove the lid entirely.
|
||||
- Add easily cooked ingredients, such as leafy greens, to the pot. Stir gently to ensure they are fully submerged, and cook for 2–5 minutes.
|
||||
- Turn off the heat. Add seasonings of your choice, such as salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Stir appropriately and serve.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- You can adjust the workflow according to your preferences. Experimenting may lead to delightful discoveries.
|
||||
- If you are unsure about the amount of salt, add it in small amounts multiple times to avoid over-salting.

# How to Make Stir-Fried Instant Noodles
|
||||
|
||||
This is the most successful attempt after exploring improved directions for traditional boiled instant noodles. It significantly enhances the deliciousness of instant noodles and is simple to make. Let's start stir-frying!
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
* Instant noodles
|
||||
* Eggs
|
||||
* Ham sausage (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculation
|
||||
|
||||
Determine how many servings to prepare before each cooking session. One serving is sufficient for 1 person.
|
||||
|
||||
Total quantities:
|
||||
|
||||
* Instant noodles: 1 pack per person.
|
||||
* Eggs: 1 per person.
|
||||
* Ham sausage: 1 per person.
|
||||
* Cooking oil: 10 - 18 ml per person.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the above conditions to calculate the ratio of raw materials to be used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
### Ham Sausage Pre-processing
|
||||
|
||||
* Remove the ham sausage from its packaging and cut it into small pieces with a width of 1 cm.
|
||||
|
||||
### Noodle Pre-processing
|
||||
|
||||
* Add 1200 ml of water to the pot, ensuring the water level covers the noodle block. Bring to a full boil; do not add noodles before boiling.
|
||||
* Add the instant noodle block and boil for 45 seconds. Stir during boiling to separate the noodles.
|
||||
* Turn off the heat immediately after the noodles are separated. Do not overcook!
|
||||
* Ladle out 80 ml of hot noodle broth and set aside.
|
||||
* Separate the noodles from the broth. Rinse the noodles with cold water.
|
||||
* Drain the noodles. Do not soak the noodles in water for a long time.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sauce Pre-processing
|
||||
|
||||
* Prepare a small bowl and squeeze the seasoning packets from the instant noodles into it.
|
||||
* Squeeze in all the vegetable packets.
|
||||
* Squeeze in all the sauce packets.
|
||||
* Squeeze in 50% - 80% of the powder packet. (Adding all the powder packet will make it too salty.)
|
||||
* Pour all 80 ml of the hot noodle broth from the previous step into the small bowl and stir well to create the seasoning bowl.
|
||||
|
||||
### Egg Pre-processing
|
||||
|
||||
* Take the calculated number of eggs and crack them into a small bowl. Do not add salt! (The eggs will eventually mix with the saltiness of the ingredients in the pot.)
|
||||
* Heat the pan for 20 seconds, then add oil: servings * 8 ml.
|
||||
* Add the prepared bowl of eggs. Stir-fry for about 20 seconds until the eggs solidify.
|
||||
* Remove the fried eggs and set aside. No need to wash the pan. Generally, there won't be much oil residue left.
|
||||
|
||||
### Final Steps
|
||||
|
||||
* Reheat the pan for 20 seconds, then add oil: servings * 10 ml.
|
||||
* Add the ham sausage processed in the first step. Stir-fry for 10 seconds.
|
||||
* Add the noodles processed in the second step. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
|
||||
* Add the seasoning bowl from the third step. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
|
||||
* Add the fried eggs from the fourth step. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
|
||||
* Turn off the heat and serve.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Content
|
||||
|
||||
* In Beijing, you can consider adding sesame paste after plating. If the sesame paste is too thick, dilute it with water in a 1:1 ratio.
|
||||
* You must rinse the noodles with cold water! Cold water instantly strips the gelatinized starch from the surface of the noodles and forcibly interrupts the residual heat cooking inside. This is the core principle that ensures the noodles won't clump or stick to the pan when stir-fried, while maintaining a chewy texture.

# How to Make Stir-Fried Rice Noodles
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
* Stir-fried rice noodles, pork/beef
|
||||
* Stir-fry seasoning: salt, MSG, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, cumin powder (or use the pre-packaged rice noodle seasoning)
|
||||
* Other seasonings: pepper
|
||||
* Cucumber, gluten chunks, mung bean sprouts, eggs, garlic cloves, scallions, starch
|
||||
* Bowls, plates
|
||||
|
||||
> Recommended purchasing plan: Buy bagged fresh rice noodles on platforms like Taobao or Hema. They are usually sold starting from 1 jin (500g), have a refrigerated shelf life of up to two weeks, and often come with free stir-fry seasoning!
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
* Rice noodle quantity: 250g per person. For larger appetites, add 100g per person (round down).
|
||||
* Shredded cucumber: 30g/person; Gluten chunks: 30g/person; Mung bean sprouts: 30g/person; Beaten eggs: 1/person.
|
||||
* Crushed garlic cloves: 2/person; Scallions: 1/person.
|
||||
* Rice noodle seasoning: Add 20g/person. If preparing your own stir-fry seasoning, use 10g salt + 2g MSG + 3g cumin powder.
|
||||
* Starch: Prepare according to the ratio of 5g starch per 100g of meat.
|
||||
* Dark soy sauce/Light soy sauce: 10ml/15ml per 250g of rice noodles, respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
* Chop the scallions (separate the white parts from the green parts) and crush the garlic cloves. Set aside on the cutting board.
|
||||
* Beat the eggs. Scoop out a little egg white into one bowl, and put the rest into another bowl for later use.
|
||||
* Place the mung bean sprouts in a pot and boil on high heat for 60 seconds. Remove the sprouts, rinse with cold water, and set aside on a plate.
|
||||
* Cut the cucumber into shreds and place them on a plate. They can be combined with the bean sprouts.
|
||||
* Handle the gluten pieces and place them on a separate plate.
|
||||
* Cut the meat into thin strips. Add starch, the egg white from the previous step, and pepper. Mix well in a clockwise direction.
|
||||
* Note: Store-bought liangpi (cold skin noodles) usually has a layer of cooking oil on the surface; it can be washed off with tap water. Do the same for the gluten.
|
||||
* Note: After washing the gluten, squeeze out the excess water with your hands (do not apply excessive force).
|
||||
|
||||
### Stir-frying the Meat
|
||||
|
||||
* Add cooking oil to the wok and heat it, then pour out the excess oil.
|
||||
* Add the prepared meat and stir-fry evenly until it changes color. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
|
||||
|
||||
### Stir-frying the Rice Noodles
|
||||
|
||||
* While the wok is still hot, add 20g of cooking oil (reduce for those with high blood pressure). Add the scallion whites and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant.
|
||||
* Add the rice noodles, drizzle with dark soy sauce for color, and stir-fry evenly. Then add the rice noodle seasoning and continue stir-frying.
|
||||
* When the rice noodles are nearly transparent, add the stir-fried meat strips and gluten. Add light soy sauce for umami and stir-fry briefly twice.
|
||||
* Add the bean sprouts and cucumber shreds. Stir-fry until the rice noodles are completely transparent.
|
||||
* Turn off the heat!
|
||||
|
||||
### Final Steps
|
||||
|
||||
* Sprinkle the scallion greens on top for garnish.
|
||||
* Transfer to a plate and enjoy your meal.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Personal taste varies by region, weather, and time. Adjust the specific amounts of seasoning according to your preference. Feel free to add chili peppers if you like spicy food.

# How to Make Fried Mantou
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
* Mantou (slightly stale from the previous day is better)
|
||||
* Salt
|
||||
* Oil
|
||||
* Cumin powder
|
||||
* Five-spice powder
|
||||
* Scallions
|
||||
* Eggs (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Measurements
|
||||
|
||||
* Mantou: 2 pieces (slightly stale from the previous day is better)
|
||||
* Salt: 3g
|
||||
* Oil: 20ml (peanut oil or sesame oil is preferred)
|
||||
* Cumin powder: 3g
|
||||
* Chili powder: 3g
|
||||
* Five-spice powder: 3g
|
||||
* Scallions: 2 stalks
|
||||
* Eggs (optional, 2 pieces)
|
||||
|
||||
Using the above measurements, calculate the ratio of raw materials to be used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
* Cut the mantou into small cubes or slices.
|
||||
* If using eggs, crack them into a bowl and beat them well (you can add 1g of salt and 1g of five-spice powder, or skip this step and add them during the stir-frying process).
|
||||
* Pour the beaten eggs over the mantou pieces and mix well; avoid using too much egg.
|
||||
* Heat a large wok over high heat and pour in the cooking oil (if using a stainless steel pan and worried about damaging it, you can pour the oil in first and heat it until hot).
|
||||
* Add the mantou cubes to the wok and stir-fry evenly.
|
||||
* Reduce the heat and continue stir-frying until the mantou cubes turn golden brown.
|
||||
* Add salt, pepper, and five-spice powder.
|
||||
* Finally, add the chopped scallions and stir-fry for a few more moments.
|
||||
* Turn off the heat and serve.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Pay attention to controlling the heat during stir-frying to prevent burning.
|
||||
- If the heat is too high, reduce it. You can add a little oil along the side of the wok to lubricate it, or sprinkle a little water. Be careful not to pour it all in one spot; spread it out evenly.
|
||||
- Seasonings can be adjusted according to personal preference by adding other spices (such as Nande seasoning).
|
||||
- If you prefer a crispy texture, turn the heat to the lowest setting and stir-fry for a longer time. After turning off the heat, let it sit in the hot wok for a moment before serving for extra crispiness and aroma.
|
||||
- Other side ingredients such as minced garlic or garlic sprouts can be added according to your taste. They can be fried separately until fragrant before mixing them in.

# How to Make Zhajiangmian
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
* Diced pork / ground pork
|
||||
* Noodles (dried noodles or fresh noodles)
|
||||
* Garlic
|
||||
* Garnishes (choose 4-10 types according to preference, such as cucumber, napa cabbage, radish, etc.)
|
||||
* Doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste)
|
||||
* Tianmianjiang (sweet bean sauce)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quantities
|
||||
|
||||
Before each preparation, determine how many servings you wish to make. One serving is sufficient for 1 person.
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
* Diced pork / ground pork: 150g
|
||||
* If *dried noodles* are used: 150g
|
||||
If *fresh noodles* are used: 250g
|
||||
* Green onion: 15g
|
||||
* Garnishes: 35g total
|
||||
* Cooking oil: 10g
|
||||
* Doubanjiang: 20g
|
||||
* Tianmianjiang: 20g
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. Julienne the garnishes and set aside.
|
||||
2. Chop the green onion. Heat oil in a pan, add the green onion and pork, and stir-fry until the meat is fully cooked (no pink remains).
|
||||
3. Add the Doubanjiang and Tianmianjiang, and continue stir-frying until the mixture becomes **slightly thick**. Remove from heat to create the *zhajiang* (fried sauce).
|
||||
4. Take a large bowl and add cold water; set aside.
|
||||
5. Boil the noodles until just cooked through (no white raw center). Transfer the noodles into the bowl with cold water from Step 4.
|
||||
6. Immediately drain the noodles and transfer them to a clean bowl.
|
||||
7. Add the *zhajiang* from Step 3 to the bowl and mix well. Then add the garnishes from Step 1 and mix again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* Lean diced pork is recommended for better texture; it is best to buy and use it fresh.
|
||||
* *Fresh noodles* are recommended.
|
||||
* The key to good noodle texture is chewiness. Avoid very thin noodles like Longxu noodles.
|
||||
* If you have the equipment (a second pot) and are experienced, Steps 2 and 3 can be performed simultaneously with Steps 1, 4, 5, and 6.
|
||||
* Preferences for sweet and savory flavors vary. You may need to adjust the ratio of the two sauces to suit your taste.

# How to Make Scallion Pancakes
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
* Oil
|
||||
* Flour
|
||||
* Electric Griddle
|
||||
|
||||
## Measurements
|
||||
|
||||
Note: This staple food recipe does not offer scaled-down or scaled-up versions. The quantities below are selected as the most suitable for beginners:
|
||||
|
||||
* Flour = 400g
|
||||
* Hot Water = 130ml (80°C)
|
||||
* Cold Water = 130ml
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
* Pour 400g of flour into a bowl. Use half the cold water and half the hot water to mix the dough until it forms crumbly strands. Knead it by hand into a smooth dough ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 40 minutes.
|
||||
* When there are 10 minutes left until the dough is ready, check the [Oil Paste Recipe](../../condiment/油酥.md) (hot oil paste yields better results).
|
||||
* Do not knead the rested dough again. Press it down slightly, then divide it into four equal portions using a horizontal cut and a vertical cut.
|
||||
* Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a pancake roughly the same size as your electric griddle. Take 1/4 of the oil paste and spread it evenly over the surface of the pancake.
|
||||
* Cut along the radius of the pancake from the edge to the center. Roll the pancake up from the outer edge into a cone shape. Pinch the tip of the cone tightly to prevent the oil paste from leaking out.
|
||||
* Press down on the pointed tip of the cone to flatten it, then roll it out again into a pancake roughly the same size as the electric griddle (approximately 3mm thick).
|
||||
* Preheat the electric griddle and apply a thin layer of cold oil (heat the pan first, then add cold oil). Place the rolled-out pancake onto the griddle. Brush a little oil on top of the pancake and spread it evenly (to lock in moisture). Cover with the lid.
|
||||
* Cook over high heat for one minute. Open the lid, flip the pancake, and cook for another minute.
|
||||
* Repeat the above steps until the pancake is fully cooked.
|
||||

# How to Make Sesame Seed Cakes
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Sesame seed cakes are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and easy to make.
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Flour
|
||||
- Yeast powder
|
||||
- White sugar
|
||||
- Shixiang (thirteen-spice seasoning)
|
||||
- Cooking oil
|
||||
- Warm water (40℃)
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculation
|
||||
|
||||
The recipe ingredients are sufficient for 7 cakes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Dough: 300g flour, 3g yeast powder, 3g white sugar, 180g warm water, 20g cooking oil. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
|
||||
- Oil paste: In a small bowl, mix 30g flour, 2g salt, 4g Shixiang, and 20g cooking oil. Stir well and let it sit.
|
||||
- Making the cakes: Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread the prepared oil paste over it, roll it up from one end, and cut into 7 equal pieces. Fold each piece in half, pinch the edges tightly with your thumb and forefinger, dip one side in water, then coat it with white sesame seeds, and roll into a small round cake.
|
||||
- Cooking: Preheat the electric griddle, pour in cold oil (cover the bottom completely), place the rolled cakes in the griddle, brush a little oil on top, spread evenly, cover the lid, select the "Large Cake" setting, and remove when it beeps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- If you don't have an electric griddle, you can use a frying pan instead.
|
||||
- If you don't have sesame seeds, you can skip them; it will still taste delicious.

|
||||
- Garlic: 10 g

|
||||

|
||||
- Water: 30 ml
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Take one chicken thigh and place it skin-side down on a cutting board.
|
||||
- Using the tip of a knife, gently score along the contour of the bone from one end to the other.
|
||||
- Use your fingers or the back of the knife to slowly separate the meat from the bone, exposing it. If you encounter sinew, cut it with the knife tip.
|
||||
- Once the meat is fully separated, hold one end of the bone, gently twist, and pull it out.
|
||||
- Repeat the above steps to debone all chicken thighs.
|
||||
- Marinate the deboned chicken thighs with black pepper powder, coarsely ground black pepper, salt, and ginger slices for 5 minutes.
|
||||
- In a bowl, mix cooking wine, light soy sauce, honey, dark soy sauce, and water until well combined.
|
||||
- Blanch the vegetables for 1–2 minutes until cooked, then remove and set aside.
|
||||
- Heat a pan with 15 ml of oil and sauté garlic until fragrant.
|
||||
- Add the chicken thighs and pan-fry over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown. If the pan feels too dry, add 5–10 ml of oil.
|
||||
- Pour in the prepared sauce, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat (use low heat on a gas stove) for 5–10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is thickened and bubbling.
|
||||
- Slice the chicken, arrange it on top of the rice with the vegetables, and drizzle with the pan sauce. Enjoy slowly!
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- If using a combination of white sugar and cornstarch as a substitute, ensure they are completely dissolved before adding to the pan to prevent burning.
|
||||
- Stir the dish every 3–5 minutes during simmering to avoid localized overheating.
|
||||
- If the sauce starts bubbling vigorously, turns dark brown, or forms fine caramelized crystals at the edges, immediately turn off the heat.

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparation (8 hours in advance)
|
||||
|
||||
- Soak dried red kidney beans in clean water for at least 8 hours (overnight). The volume will expand to about twice its original size after soaking.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cooking the Red Kidney Beans
|
||||
|
||||
- Drain the soaked red kidney beans.
|
||||
- **Using a pressure cooker:** Add the red kidney beans and 600ml of water. Cover the lid and bring to high heat until pressure builds, then reduce to medium heat. **Cook under pressure for 15-20 minutes**, until the *beans can be easily crushed between your fingers*.
|
||||
- **Using a regular pot:** Add the red kidney beans and sufficient water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat. **Simmer for 60-90 minutes**, until the beans are completely soft and mushy.
|
||||
- Reserve the bean cooking liquid for later use.
|
||||
|
||||
### Making the Curry
|
||||
|
||||
- Pour 30ml of cooking oil into a wok and heat over medium heat.
|
||||
- Add 2 bay leaves and fry until *fragrant* (about 10 seconds).
|
||||
- Add chopped onions and stir-fry until *golden brown* (about 6-8 minutes).
|
||||
- Add grated ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for 1 minute.
|
||||
- Add chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until *the tomatoes are completely soft and release oil* (about 5 minutes).
|
||||
- Add 3g turmeric powder, 5g red chili powder, 5g coriander powder, 3g cumin powder, and 6g salt.
|
||||
- Stir-fry for 2 minutes to allow the spices to meld with the tomatoes.
|
||||
- Pour the cooked red kidney beans along with their cooking liquid into the pan.
|
||||
- Add green chilies and mix well.
|
||||
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and **simmer for 15-20 minutes**.
|
||||
- During this time, use the back of a spatula to mash some of the beans to thicken the sauce.
|
||||
- Add 3g of garam masala and mix well.
|
||||
- Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
|
||||
|
||||
### Steamed Rice
|
||||
|
||||
- Wash the rice thoroughly.
|
||||
- Place it in a rice cooker and add 400ml of water.
|
||||
- Cook as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
### Serving
|
||||
|
||||
- Serve the rice on a plate.
|
||||
- Pour the red kidney bean curry over or alongside the rice.
|
||||
- Serve with onion salad and lemon wedges on the side.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Red kidney beans must be thoroughly cooked before consumption. Undercooked red kidney beans contain phytohaemagglutinin, which can cause food poisoning.
|
||||
- In India, Rajma Chawal is considered one of the most comforting, home-style dishes, similar in cultural significance to "braised pork with rice" in China.
|
||||
- For a richer flavor, you can add 30ml of heavy cream.
|
||||
- Leftover red kidney bean curry can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and often tastes even better the next day.

|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-cooking
|
||||
|
||||
- Heat the wok until it starts smoking, add 3ml of cooking oil to coat the pan, then pour out the excess oil.
|
||||
- Add more cooking oil, then add the pork slices, scallions, ginger, garlic, and dried red chilies. Stir-fry for 1 minute, ensuring constant and even stirring.

|
||||
- Spread the coated noodles back onto the steamer insert. Steam for another 10 minutes, then turn off the heat.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Content
|
||||
|
||||
- Technical Summary
|
||||
- When cutting pork, you can ask the market vendor for assistance. Based on experience, the highest success rate is achieved by making the request after the meat has been cut but before payment.
|
||||
- For your first time cooking, prepare all ingredients in advance to avoid chaos. Once you become more proficient, you can execute tasks concurrently.
|
||||
- When steaming noodles twice, make sure to separate them as much as possible to prevent them from clumping together after steaming. If the noodles are too long, break them to facilitate stirring and serving.
|
||||
- When removing the steamed noodles, handle them gently to avoid the steamer rack tipping over and the noodles touching the water.
|
||||
- Beer pairs perfectly with this dish!

|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Determine how many servings you plan to make before each preparation. One serving is suitable for one person.
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
- 2 eggs
|
||||
- 30g onion
|
||||
- 30g carrot
|
||||

||||
- 10ml milk (mixed with the eggs)
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Dice the onion, carrot, and ham sausage or chicken breast, and set aside.
|
||||
- Heat a pan, pour in 10ml of cooking oil, and wait 10 seconds for it to heat up.
|
||||
- Add the diced onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Once fragrant, add the carrot, corn kernels, and green peas, and continue stir-frying for 2 minutes.
|
||||
- Add the diced ham sausage or chicken breast and stir-fry until the color changes.
|
||||
- Add the rice and break it up while stir-frying. Then add 20ml of ketchup, mix well, and finish the fried rice. Remove from the pan and set aside.
|
||||

|
||||
- Pour 5ml of cooking oil into the pan, add the egg mixture, and gently shake the pan to spread the egg evenly across the surface.

- Gently slide the omurice onto a plate, shape it neatly, and garnish with a small amount of ketchup on top.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Using leftover rice from the previous day prevents sticking and improves texture.
|
||||
- Adding milk to the beaten eggs makes the omelet more tender.
|
||||
- Use low heat when handling the egg omelet to avoid burning the bottom.
|
||||
- If you are not skilled at wrapping the rice, you can simply plate the fried rice and cover it with the egg omelet.

||||
* Eggs
|
||||
* Ham
|
||||
* Cucumber
|
||||
* Carrot
|
||||
* Cooking oil
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For the rice preparation, you can refer to [How to Make Rice](./rice/electric_rice_cooker_steamed_rice.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Determine how many servings you plan to make before starting. One serving is sufficient for 1-2 people.
|
||||
|
||||
Total quantities:
|
||||
|
||||
* Cold cooked rice (servings * 500ml)
|
||||
* Eggs (servings * 1.5, rounded down)
|
||||
* Ham (servings * 2 slices)
|
||||
* Cucumber (optional, servings * 30g)
|
||||
* Carrot (optional, servings * 30g)
|
||||
* Cooking oil (servings * 12ml)
|
||||
* Salt (servings * 4g to servings * 6g)
|
||||
* Pepper powder (servings * 8g)
|
||||
* Scallions (servings * 1 bunch)
|
||||
* Light soy sauce (servings * 10ml)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the above parameters to calculate the required proportion of raw materials.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
* Break up the cold rice into small pieces using a spatula in advance.
|
||||
* Slice or cube the ham, carrots, cucumbers, etc., as needed.
|
||||
* If you have cooked meat on hand, prepare it for better flavor.
|
||||
* Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat each separately in a large bowl. Note: Do not add salt at this stage.
|
||||
* Heat a wok over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add cooking oil, then pour in the egg whites. Once they solidify, remove them from the wok and set aside.
|
||||
* If there is enough oil, add the egg yolks directly. If not, add more cooking oil and heat it over high heat.
|
||||
* Once the egg yolks solidify, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the ham, cooked meat, carrots, cucumbers, and other prepared ingredients. Stir-fry for 10 seconds until fragrant.
|
||||
* Add the egg whites back in. Stir-fry for 5 seconds, then quickly add the rice. Stir-fry over high heat to ensure every grain of rice is coated with egg.
|
||||
* During the stir-frying process, break up any clumps of rice. This step takes longer; continue until the rice is fully broken down and evenly mixed.
|
||||
* Reduce the heat to low. Add salt, pepper powder, and light soy sauce.
|
||||
* Stir-fry further until well combined. The dish is nearly done when you see the rice grains "jumping" in the wok.
|
||||
* Finally, add the scallions and stir-fry for another 10 seconds.
|
||||
* Turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* **Technical Summary**
|
||||
- Using overnight cold rice yields the best results. If you don't have cold rice, you can cook fresh rice and cool it rapidly in the refrigerator. However, achieving a "distinct grain" texture will require longer stir-frying.
|
||||
- To achieve the "distinct grain" texture, the rice must be fried until dry. Overnight rice is preferred because it has already lost some moisture.

# How to Make Luosifen
|
||||
|
||||
Authentic Luosifen is not smelly!
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
> For the sake of home cooking, making Luosifen from scratch using river snails, sour bamboo shoots, etc., is not practical. Therefore, this recipe is based on packaged Luosifen.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
- One package of packaged Luosifen, which should include:
|
||||
- Rice noodles
|
||||
- River snail meat pack (may be included in the topping pack)
|
||||
- Soup base pack
|
||||
- Topping packs such as sour bamboo shoots, peanuts, fried tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, etc.
|
||||
- Seasoning packs such as vinegar and chili oil
|
||||
|
||||
### Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Pot
|
||||
|
||||
- Induction cooker / Stove
|
||||
|
||||
- A pair of chopsticks
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
- Based on personal experience, one package of packaged Luosifen is sufficient for one person's meal (even though it looks like a large pack).
|
||||
- Water: 1L
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil.
|
||||
- Add the rice noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
|
||||
- Add the soup base pack, adjusting to your taste.
|
||||
- Add some topping packs, such as wood ear mushrooms, peanuts, and river snails (these toppings need to simmer for a while to absorb the flavor).
|
||||
- Add the seasoning packs, adjusting to your taste.
|
||||
- Stir and then transfer the contents into a bowl.
|
||||
- Add the remaining topping packs, such as sour bamboo shoots and fried tofu skin (these toppings are not suitable for soaking in the soup for too long).
|
||||
- Enjoy your meal.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- If you prefer chewier noodles, reduce the cooking time for the noodles in the second step.
|
||||
- If you want to add a fried egg to your Luosifen, please refer to the fried egg tutorial.
|
||||
- Choose your toppings according to your personal preference.

|
||||
Special thanks to my mother for her online guidance: v:
|
||||
|
||||
Simple and easy to make. Let's get started!
|
||||
Preparation time: 20 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated cooking difficulty: ★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Dried noodles (or fresh noodles work too)
|
||||
- 1 tomato
|
||||
- Salt
|
||||
- Eggs
|
||||
- Green onion
|
||||
- Soy sauce, oyster sauce, or chicken essence
|
||||
- White sugar (to balance the acidity of the tomatoes; omit if the tomatoes are not sour)
|
||||
- Green bell pepper (not long green chili peppers)
|
||||
- Sesame oil
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Measurements
|
||||
|
||||
Before each preparation, determine how many servings you want to make. The following quantities are perfect for 1 person.
|
||||
|
||||
Total:
|
||||
|
||||
- Dried noodles: 1 bundle (adjust according to appetite) 50-100g
|
||||
- Tomato: 1 piece, approximately 200g
|
||||
- Eggs: 1-2 pieces
|
||||
- Salt: 5g
|
||||
- Oyster sauce: 5g or chicken essence: 3g
|
||||
- White sugar: 2g
|
||||
- Soy sauce: 5-8g
|
||||
- Cooking oil: 20g
|
||||
- Sesame oil: 5g
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Ingredient Prep
|
||||
|
||||
Prepping ingredients is crucial. Handling everything in advance prevents panic during cooking and makes the process enjoyable. This... might be why professional kitchens have a dedicated station for ingredient preparation.
|
||||
|
||||
- Wash the green onions and chop them into scallion pieces.
|
||||
- Cut the tomato into chunks. If you're unsure how to cut it, try searching online for guidance~
|
||||
- Cut the green bell pepper into diamond-shaped pieces.
|
||||
- Crack the raw eggs into a small bowl and beat them. If the eggs have a strong smell, add 2g of white vinegar to remove it.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Egg Prep
|
||||
|
||||
- Heat a wok or pan and pour in 15-20g of cooking oil. Using a bit more oil ensures the eggs remain tender and smooth, while also leaving some residual oil for stir-frying the tomatoes later.
|
||||
- When the oil reaches about 70% heat (you can feel the heat when holding your hand about 10cm above the pan), pour in the beaten eggs and quickly scramble them.
|
||||
- Once the eggs are just set and no longer liquid, remove them and set aside in a small bowl. Leave some residual oil in the pan.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
> No photo of the fried eggs was available, so an internet image is used instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### Making the Tomato and Egg Sauce Base
|
||||
|
||||
- After leaving a little oil in the wok, stir-fry the white parts of the scallions and minced garlic until fragrant.
|
||||
- Add the diced tomatoes and green peppers, and stir-fry until the tomatoes release some juice.
|
||||
- Quickly add 5g of soy sauce and 2g of white sugar.
|
||||
- Stir-fry for a dozen seconds, then add a bowl of water (just enough to barely cover the tomatoes).
|
||||
- Once boiling, add the previously stir-fried eggs, along with 5g of oyster sauce or 2g of chicken bouillon to enhance the flavor.
|
||||
- Simmer over medium-low heat to reduce the sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once reduced to the consistency shown in the image below, add a little chopped scallion (the remaining green parts) and a dash of sesame oil (optional). The tomato mince is now ready.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Finally, cook the noodles
|
||||
|
||||
- There is no need to wash the wok; just add 500ml of water directly.
|
||||
- Bring to a boil, add the dried noodles. Once the noodles soften, add 100ml of water.
|
||||
- Bring to a boil again. If the noodles float up, add another 100ml of water.
|
||||
- After boiling, check if the sides of the noodles have turned translucent. If they are translucent, they are cooked.
|
||||
- Transfer the noodles to the bowl with the tomato mince and toss to combine.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- You can add 2g of black pepper to the beaten eggs for better flavor.
|
||||
- Add 2g of white pepper powder while simmering the mince to enhance the spicy aroma.
|
||||
- You can cook the noodles in one go if you prefer. Adding water multiple times helps achieve a chewier texture and prevents sticking. The key technique is to add cold water each time it boils, repeating this two or three times.

|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
* Cut the green beans into 5cm - 6cm segments.
|
||||
* Cut the green onions into 1cm - 2cm segments.
|
||||
* Cut the ginger into strips measuring 1mm x 1mm x 3cm.
|
||||
* Smash the garlic cloves on a cutting board and mince them to a 1mm granularity.
|
||||
* Slice the pork belly into pieces with a thickness of 2mm.
|
||||
|
||||
* First, heat the pan until all moisture inside evaporates. Hold your hand about 10cm above the bottom of the pan; you should feel a slight heat.
|
||||
* Add the measured amount of cooking oil. Hold the pan handle and tilt it about 5cm away from the stove burner, swirling the pan to coat two-thirds of the pan's interior (from bottom to top) evenly with oil.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: If using a non-stick pan, ignore the above step; simply wait 3-5 seconds for the oil to heat up.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add all the ginger and scallion segments, stir-fry for 5 seconds until fragrant (Note! There is a risk of oil splattering at this stage; it is recommended to wear gloves or take other protective measures).
|
||||
* Add all the meat slices. After adding them, do not stir immediately. Let them sit for 5 seconds, then stir-fry to ensure all the meat is coated with oil.
|
||||
* Continuously stir-fry the meat slices. Once all the meat has changed color, evenly drizzle the prepared light soy sauce along the edge of the wok, and stir-fry until well combined.
|
||||
* Add the prepared salt, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, thirteen-spice powder, and chicken bouillon in sequence, followed by all the prepared green beans. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
|
||||
* Add the prepared hot water.
|
||||
* Once the water boils, use a ladle to remove half of the soup from the pot (Note! Do not scoop out the vegetables).
|
||||
* Lay all the noodles flat on top of the vegetables.
|
||||
* Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
|
||||
* Uncover the pot. Use a ladle to evenly sprinkle the reserved soup back onto the noodles, one ladleful at a time.
|
||||
* Cover the pot again and simmer over medium heat for 3 minutes.
|
||||
* Uncover the pot and evenly sprinkle all the minced garlic and MSG over the dish.
|
||||
|
||||
> ps: There may still be some water in the pot at this stage. If you prefer a wetter dish, turn off the heat; otherwise, leave it on.
|
||||
|
||||
* Continuously stir-fry with chopsticks to evenly mix the vegetables and meat.
|
||||
* Turn off the heat
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Content
|
||||
|
||||
### Differences in Noodle Thickness
|
||||
|
||||
* Fine (As the name suggests, as thin as hair, similar to thin vermicelli)
|
||||
* Thin (Slightly thicker than fine, similar in thickness to incense sticks)
|
||||
* Medium-Thin (Similar in thickness to typical stir-fried noodles)
|
||||
* Medium (Slightly thicker than medium-thin, feels like eating thick vermicelli; however, if the noodles are pulled to be chewy, they offer a great texture)
|
||||
* Leek-Leaf (As wide as leek leaves)
|
||||
* Wide (Similar in width to the wide noodles used in Malatang)

|
||||
## Calculations

||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Boiling the Fern Root Noodles
|
||||
|
||||
* Fill a pot with water to about 3/5 of its depth and bring it to a boil.

||||
|
||||
* Add soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil according to the specified ratio.

* Dip a chopstick into the sauce and taste it.
|
||||
* If the soy sauce flavor is too strong, add the prepared salt.

||||
* If it lacks savoriness, add the prepared sugar.
|
||||
* Stir thoroughly until most of the granular seasonings have dissolved.
|
||||
|
||||
### Plating and Finishing
|
||||
|
||||
* Take a bowl.
|
||||
* Add the sauce prepared in the previous step.
|
||||
* Rinse the boiled fern root noodles with cold water and place them into the sauce.
|
||||

|
||||
* Finely chop the prepared green onions, garlic, and millet peppers, then sprinkle them over the noodles.
|
||||
* Done! (。・∀・)ノ゙
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* Green onions, ginger, and garlic are optional seasonings. Adding them enhances the flavor, but omitting them is fine.
|
||||
* The amount of sugar and salt depends on personal taste. Please adjust accordingly.
|
||||
* It is recommended to use a bowl for serving, as using a plate may make eating the noodles more difficult.
|
||||
* The overall flavor is spicy. If you cannot handle spicy food, reduce the amount of chili oil and omit the millet peppers.

||||
|
||||
### Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
- If making hand-pulled noodles, gently press the top and bottom with a rolling pin (or use your hands if you don't have one). Hold the left and right ends with both hands and gently pull apart.
|
||||
- Chop the green onions into scallions and mince the garlic; set aside.
|
||||
- Wash the green vegetables and bean sprouts; set aside (if using).
|
||||
|
||||
### Boiling the Noodles and Seasoning
|
||||
|
||||
- Add plenty of water to the wok and bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1g of salt.
|
||||
- Add the noodles and gently stir with chopsticks to prevent sticking. Boil until the noodles float, then cook for another 1-2 minutes.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Pouring the Hot Oil
|
||||
|
||||
- Pour cooking oil into a frying pan. Add Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon bark, and bay leaves (if using). Fry over low heat until fragrant, then remove the spices.
|
||||
- When the oil temperature reaches 70% heat (slightly smoking), quickly and evenly pour it over the dried chili powder in the bowl. You should hear a "sizzle" sound.
|
||||
- Use chopsticks to thoroughly mix all the seasonings and noodles before serving.

- Choosing the right chili powder is crucial. It is recommended to use Shaanxi Qinzhou chili powder, which is fragrant but not overly spicy. One of the "Eight Oddities of Shaanxi": Oil-splashed chili is a dish in itself 😂
|
||||
- The oil temperature for pouring is the key to success. If the oil is too cool, the chili won't be fragrant; if it's too hot, it will burn easily.
|
||||
- Meat lovers can add minced meat to make meat mince oil-splashed noodles.
|
||||
- Traditional Shaanxi oil-splashed noodles emphasize the color combination of "one green, two white, three red, four green," referring to the noodles, minced garlic, chili, and scallions.

|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools

|
||||
- Steamer liner (Recommended order: oiled bamboo mat, grass mat, bamboo leaf, perforated silicone baking paper. Traditionally grass mats were used, but perforated silicone baking paper is more common now)
|
||||
|
||||
## Calculations
|
||||
|
||||
Before each preparation, determine how many servings you plan to make. One serving is sufficient for 2–3 people.
|
||||
|
||||
Per serving:
|
||||
|
||||
- Shumai wrappers: 240–465 g (approximately 24–31 pieces; it is recommended to use 30 wrappers of 10 g each)
|
||||
- Ground pork: 300 g (use 280 g of pork tenderloin or pork shoulder for the low-fat version)
|
||||
- Minced ginger: 5–10 g
|
||||
- Minced green onions: 10–20 g
|
||||
- Light soy sauce: 15 mL
|
||||
- Cooking wine: 10 mL
|
||||
- Salt: 3–5 g (reduce by 3 g if using a bouillon cube)
|
||||
- Sugar: 2–3 g
|
||||
- White pepper: 2 g
|
||||
- Sesame oil: 5 mL
|
||||
- Broth: 30 mL
|
||||
- Bouillon cube: 6 g (House brand recommended, approximately 1/8 of a cube)
|
||||
- Winter bamboo shoots: 50 g
|
||||
- Pork jelly: 100 g
|
||||
- Shiitake mushrooms: 75 g (or 30 g of dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated)
|
||||
- Shrimp: 100–200 g (approximately 20–25 pieces)
|
||||
- Compound food thickener: 1.2 g (or cornstarch: 2 g)
|
||||
- Lard (or chicken fat): 15 g
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- (Low-fat version) Take 10 mL of cold water, add the compound food thickener, and mix into a paste.
|
||||
- (Low-fat version) Add 25 mL of boiling water and stir until a semi-transparent gel forms.
|
||||
- (Low-fat version) After cooling, mix in 280 g of lean ground meat + 15 g of melted lard (or chicken fat).
|
||||
- Mix the ground pork with minced ginger, minced scallions, soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Stir in one direction until the mixture becomes sticky and elastic.
|
||||
- If using bouillon cubes, dissolve one cube in 15 mL of hot water, stirring until the emulsion is fully dispersed, then add 15 mL of room-temperature water.
|
||||
- Slowly add water or broth while continuing to stir, until the filling absorbs the liquid and becomes viscous. If the meat filling is too thick, add another 5 mL of water and continue stirring.
|
||||
- Add optional ingredients (winter bamboo shoots, aspic, shiitake mushrooms), drizzle with sesame oil, and mix well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
|
||||
- Take one shaomai wrapper and place about 20–25 g of filling on it (don't overfill, or it won't wrap properly).
|
||||
- Gently pinch the edges of the wrapper with the heel of your hand to form a "vase" shape, leaving the top open.
|
||||
- Gently press the bottom with your fingers to ensure it stands stably.
|
||||
- If adding shrimp, place one shrimp on top.
|
||||
- Repeat the wrapping process until all shaomai are prepared.
|
||||
- Place them in a steamer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
|
||||
- Steam over high heat for 8–10 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The fat in shaomai primarily comes from fatty pork. In the low-fat version, after removing the fatty pork, a small amount of animal fat is used to compensate for texture.
|
||||
- If shaomai wrappers are unavailable, you can use large wonton wrappers or roll out dumpling wrappers thinly.
|
||||
- The wrapper diameter should be between 8–10 cm, with each wrapper weighing approximately 10–15 g. The ratio of wrapper to filling should be controlled at 1:2 to 1:2.5.
|
||||
- It is recommended to use the medium setting on the meat grinder. This ensures the ground meat is not too fine (like a paste) nor too coarse (like chunks), maintaining a moderate texture for a bouncy filling.
|
||||
- Using 5 g of minced ginger and 10 g of minced scallions avoids overpowering the fresh meat flavor; using 10 g of ginger and 20 g of scallions resembles dumpling filling.
|
||||
- When wrapping shaomai, apply a little oil to the heel of your hand to prevent the sealed end from sticking.
|
||||
- Remember to place the shaomai in the steamer only after the water has boiled, so the wrappers do not collapse.
|
||||
- If made in excess, store at -18 °C in the freezer. Frozen shaomai require steaming for 12–15 minutes.
|
||||
- They taste better dipped in rose rice vinegar. You can also pair them with Tongxiang chili sauce, chili oil, light soy sauce, or shredded ginger according to your taste.

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Air Fryer Lamb Chops (Super Lazy Version) – Taste is decent, largely dependent on the quality of the lamb chops.
|
||||
|
||||
- Total Cooking Time: 40 minutes (Prep: 3 minutes + Rice Cooking: 40 minutes + Mixing: 2 minutes)
|
||||
- Actual Active Time: 5 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
Estimated Difficulty: ★★
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
|
||||
|
||||
- Essential: Northeast Rice (Jinlongyu brand, 30 RMB for 5kg is fine; Mijia IH Rice Cooker is recommended. The tutorial uses the Mijia Mini Rice Cooker. **Pressure cookers are not recommended for cooking rice**.)
|
||||
- Essential: Bonito Flakes and Seaweed Crumbles (Available on JD and Taobao; search for "Japanese Rice Seasoning")
|
||||
- Essential: Corn Kernels (Search "Corn Kernels Ready-to-Eat" on Taobao)
|
||||
|
||||
## Measurements
|
||||
|
||||
- Bonito Flakes and Seaweed Crumbles: 20g
|
||||
- Corn Kernels: 80g/pack
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- Serve the rice, add the corn kernels, and mix well.
|
||||
- Sprinkle the bonito flakes and seaweed crumbles on top.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- If using a Mijia Mini Rice Cooker to cook Northeast rice, ensure the water level is about 3mm above the rice. Too much water will result in mushy rice rather than distinct grains.

## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparation (8 hours in advance)
|
||||
|
||||
- Soak the dried chickpeas in clean water overnight (at least 8 hours). They will expand to about twice their original volume after soaking.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cooking the Chickpeas
|
||||
|
||||
- Drain the soaked chickpeas.
|
||||
- Place them in a pot, add 500ml of water and 1 black tea bag (for coloring).
|
||||
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat. **Simmer for 25–30 minutes** until the *chickpeas can be easily crushed between your fingers*.
|
||||
- Remove the tea bag and reserve the chickpea cooking liquid for later use.
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the Curry Base
|
||||
|
||||
- Pour 30ml of cooking oil into a wok and heat over medium heat.
|
||||
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until *golden brown* (about 6-8 minutes).
|
||||
- Add the grated ginger and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute.
|
||||
- Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté until *the tomatoes are completely soft and release their oils* (about 5 minutes).
|
||||
- Add 3g of turmeric powder, 5g of red chili powder, 8g of coriander powder, 5g of cumin powder, and 6g of salt.
|
||||
- Sauté for 2 minutes to allow the spices to fully release their aroma.
|
||||
- Add the cooked chickpeas along with their cooking liquid to the pan.
|
||||
- Add green chilies and stir well.
|
||||
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and **simmer for 15-20 minutes**. During this time, you can use the back of a spatula to mash some of the chickpeas to thicken the sauce.
|
||||
- Add 5g of garam masala and 3g of pomegranate powder (or 15ml of lemon juice).
|
||||
- Stir well, then turn off the heat and set aside.
|
||||
|
||||
### Making the Purée Dough
|
||||
|
||||
- In a large bowl, mix 250g of all-purpose flour, 2g of baking soda, and 3g of salt.
|
||||
- Add 60ml of yogurt and 15ml of cooking oil.
|
||||
- Gradually add warm water while kneading until a *smooth and soft* dough forms (the dough should be slightly softer than usual).
|
||||
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for **30 minutes**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Frying the Purées
|
||||
|
||||
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
|
||||
- Take one portion, lightly oil your hands, and roll it out into a round flatbread about 15cm in diameter and 3mm thick.
|
||||
- Pour 500ml of cooking oil into a deep pot and heat over medium-high heat to approximately 180°C.
|
||||
- Gently slide the flatbread into the hot oil and press it lightly with a slotted spoon to help it *puff up*.
|
||||
- **Fry for 1-2 minutes**, flipping to fry until *golden brown on both sides*.
|
||||
- Remove from the oil and blot with paper towels to remove excess oil.
|
||||
|
||||
### Serving
|
||||
|
||||
- Reheat the chickpea curry.
|
||||
- Serve the purées hot, paired with the chickpea curry.
|
||||
- Optionally serve with sliced onions, green chilies, and lemon wedges.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Soaking the chickpeas beforehand is a mandatory step; otherwise, they will not soften properly. If time is short, you can use a pressure cooker to cook unsoaked chickpeas for 20 minutes.
|
||||
- The black tea bag is used to color the chickpeas, giving them a deep brown hue. This is a secret trick used in Indian restaurants.
|
||||
- The yogurt and baking soda in the purée dough are key to its soft and fluffy texture. The dough should not be too stiff.
|
||||
- This dish is a national favorite for brunch in India, available from street stalls to high-end restaurants. In Indian restaurants in China, it is often referred to as "Chickpea Curry with Purées."
