Radish soaked in vinegar

A little change brings a brand-new taste bud experience.

Hu Yuanyuan, a 25-year-old food lover, not only likes to eat, but also likes to cook by himself.

Hu Yuanyuan's mother opened a small shop in Guizhai Road, mainly dealing in various snacks, such as pickled radish, vegetarian dishes and spicy dried beans. When she was a child, Hu Yuanyuan would help her mother. Through her mother's eyes and ears, she gradually became fond of cooking. Every time she eats delicious food outside, she will keep it in mind. When she gets home, she will try to cook for her family and friends. Sometimes she will innovate and add her own little ideas.

Just like her famous pickled radish, it has become a "signboard" in her shop, attracting many people to buy it every day.

Hu Yuanyuan's mother's pickled radish is made according to Liuyang's traditional practice. Find a glass jar, cut the radish into strips, pour a certain proportion of vinegar, add millet pepper and some sugar, and marinate.

"This approach is classic, but a little innovation may have a different taste bud experience." Hu Yuanyuan said.

She tried to use fresh lemon juice instead of vinegar, millet pepper instead of ginger, and then added bayberry, bright red pepper, onion, honey and so on. In this way, the new version of pickled radish made for the first time was recognized by neighbors. "It's a little more vivid than the taste in memory." Neighbors commented.

After in-store promotion, diners are also willing to accept new tastes. "It's delicious, sour and sweet. Their pickled radish is particularly appetizing. " On the morning of June 6th 10, Mr. Zhang, a citizen who lives in the seaside mountain city, rode his bike from home to the store to place an order.

In the morning, Hu Yuanyuan store sold 10 Jin of pickled radish.

"There is a secret in making pickled radish at home." Hu Yuanyuan reminded her that many customers told her that the radish they made was soft and even "old". "In fact, if the radish is crisp, you can add the right amount of salt when you make it. And be careful not to soak too much. Radish needs wrinkles to be chewy. "

Simple method of soaking radish in vinegar:

Ingredients: 200g of white radish, 5g of salt, 30g of vinegar, 5g of sugar, 5g of ginger and 5g of pepper.

1. Wash radish, cut into strips, and marinate with appropriate amount of salt 1 hour or so.

2. Put vinegar, sugar, a little salt, ginger and pepper into a covered container and stir well.

3. Put the pickled radish strips into a container to continue pickling. You can eat it after pickling.

Cool dessert

Simple to make, cool and cool.

Besides making snacks, Hu Yuanyuan also likes making drinks very much. The double skin milk, osmanthus jelly, yellow peach jelly and yogurt ice cream brought out from her hand are all exquisite and attractive.

"Fruit sago is a must-have dessert for me and my girlfriends in summer. Make a big bowl every time. " Hu Yuanyuan said, while preparing materials, "In fact, this summer's dessert is very simple to make, and everyone can learn."

Say, Hu Yuanyuan has neatly put the cooked sago and red beans at the bottom of the bowl, and then put them into small pieces of watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, banana and pitaya, and finally poured milk made of pure milk and coconut milk. A bowl of sweet and delicious sago is ready.

"Note that the ratio of pure milk to coconut milk is 65,438+0: 2." After eating, Hu Yuanyuan warned that if you cook at home, there may be leftover fruit. To avoid waste, you can make smoothies with extra fruits.

Take watermelon smoothies as an example. Peel and seed the remaining watermelon, cut it into small pieces, add a little milk and a spoonful of honey, beat it into watermelon juice with a blender, and then freeze it in the refrigerator. Watermelon smoothies can be made after freezing.

"It won't be wasted, and you can make some delicious summer desserts." Hu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "The process of cooking by yourself is actually a kind of enjoyment."
