Chapter 809 Shen Guofu: I never thought vegetarian hotpot was so delicious, I will do it once a week from now on! [Please subscribe]

Shen Guofu was dubious, always feeling that hot pot without meat was very unsatisfactory.

He drove the car to the garage of the villa and saw Lin Xu taking ingredients out of the trunk. He immediately came over to help, and then he saw the bullfrogs.

"Hey, there are bullfrogs here? That doesn't count as vegetarian hotpot."

Lao Shen thought of the fat sausage and beautiful frog pot he had eaten during his trip to Chengdu, and his unhappiness was immediately thrown out of his mind.

Even though there are bullfrogs, he still talks about vegetarian hotpot. Why is the son-in-law acting like his daughter and telling the truth?

It’s good to have bullfrogs, haha, I’ll eat more later.

Seeing her father's excitement, Shen Jiayue couldn't help but pour cold water on her:

"The bullfrog is thick. What we eat today is vegetarian hot pot, without meat."

Shen Guofu: "..."

For Dundun?

Good guy, I used to joke that people are not as good as cats, but now I finally see it.

Walking into the villa, Han Shuzhen was showing Chen Yan and Renjie the vegetables grown in the yard. Beans, eggplants, tomatoes and other vegetables were growing very well. Shen Jiayue couldn't help but joked:

"My mother, like the experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, doesn't know if there are any big loofahs that are three to four meters long."

When she was in middle school, the school organized a visit to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences every year. There, Shen Jiayue saw super long loofahs, large winter melons that looked like stone rollers, and flat pumpkins as big as millstones.

Now seeing her mother standing by the vegetable patch talking, she thought of the experts at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who gave lectures to the students.

In fact, Han Shuzhen did not grow the vegetables in the yard at all. The seeds she had been working on for several days did not germinate. Aunt Liu bought new seeds and helped plant them. So when her daughter said this, Director Han suddenly blushed:

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. There are many bugs outside. Let's take Dundun inside to play."

There are many advantages to living in a villa, including not being disturbed upstairs and downstairs, large area, yards in front and back, and a strong sense of privacy.

But the shortcomings are also very prominent, such as the basement is prone to moisture, and small bugs can be seen everywhere in summer.

These bugs enter the house without warning, and even set up camp in the room, or bite people and pets, making it difficult for people to guard against them.

Han Shuzhen was afraid that Dundun might attract bugs, so she urged Shen Jiayue to take the little guy in.

Ren Jie saw that Lin Xu and Shen Guofu had brought a lot of ingredients and hurried over to help. The three of them carried various vegetables into the kitchen and began to prepare today's dinner.

Aunt Liu came over and said with a smile:

"Director Han just came back and said he wanted to eat vegetarian hot pot and make vegetarian soup... Xiaoxu, are these difficult?"

"It's not difficult."

Lin Xu saw her cleaning a mandarin duck pot and asked curiously:

"Is this for hot pot?"

"Yes, I bought it at home before. I haven't used it a few times, so I just brushed it in advance... What flavor will you eat for today's hot pot?"

Originally, Lin Xu planned to make clear soup hot pot. Since it is a mandarin duck pot, let’s add another flavor.

He smiled and said:

"There are two flavors: vegetarian soup and tomato soup. I'll make the soup first."

Lin Xu prepared bean sprouts, eggs, mushrooms, celery, radishes and other ingredients for making thick soup. He first fried the eggs, then put them into the pot and started cooking.

After finishing this, I started to pack other ingredients.

Lao Shen and Ren Jie couldn't get along, so they went to the basement to play billiards. Today is the last day of Ren Jie's wedding leave. He will officially go to work tomorrow. It will be difficult to have such a long rest in the future.

Lin Xu changed all the ingredients that needed to be chopped and soaked those that needed to be soaked. By the way, he used Sprite to make some sesame sauce that Beijing people cannot live without when eating hot pot, and also boiled some sweet and spicy sauce. If you want to change the taste, add sweet and spicy sauce.

After finishing this work, bring some tomatoes over, make a cross on the surface with a kitchen knife, then pour hot water on them, and scald the skin of the tomatoes.

Curl and peel off the outer skin and cut into small cubes.

Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry green onions and ginger, then add half a bowl of tomato paste, continue to stir-fry until the tomato paste becomes sandy, pour in the diced tomatoes, and continue to stir-fry.

When making tomato pot base, fresh tomatoes alone are not enough, because the flavor is not strong enough and not long-lasting enough. In the end, it even becomes a boiled dish, and the tomato flavor is completely gone.

Only by adding some tomato paste or concentrated tomato sauce will the flavor last long and the soup be very durable.

Fry the diced tomatoes into a paste, add boiling water, and then add a few slices of raw tomatoes and mushrooms to cook to make the tomato soup base more fragrant.

When the tomato soup is almost done, the vegetarian stock next to it is almost done too.

Pour some of the two kinds of soup into the Yuanyang pot respectively. Add salt, green onion slices, ginger slices, red dates, wolfberry and other ingredients to the soup stock to cook, while add onion, ginger, tomato slices, shiitake mushrooms and salt to the tomato pot.

Waiting for condiments.

When everything was ready, Lin Xu put some hard-to-cook ingredients in and cooked them together. At about the same time, he brought the mandarin duck pot to the restaurant table.

Then bring the prepared vegetables one by one and put on various toppings for dipping the sauce.

"It's time to eat!"

Lin Xu called out to the living room. At this moment, Shi Wenqing's family of three and Han Shufen also came, all wanting to try the taste of vegan hot pot.

If possible, learn from it later. After all, who doesn’t want to eat healthier while ensuring delicious food?

After greeting everyone, Lin Xu returned to the kitchen. He peeled off the skins of several bullfrogs, cut the meat into small cubes, and mixed it with two egg yolks. After mixing well, he crushed a salted duck egg yolk and mixed it in to add some flavor.

.

After doing this, he put the bullfrog meat on a plate and put it into a steamer for steaming.

If you promise to give your children a double dinner, you must keep your promise.

But in terms of Dundun’s appetite, it should be difficult to finish it. After all, cats’ stomachs are relatively small, about the size of a ping pong ball, and they cannot eat much food at all.

Besides, cats have a hard time concentrating. Maybe when they are eating, there is some movement nearby, and their thoughts will wander off.

When everyone sat down at the dining table, Aunt Liu followed Lin Xu's instructions and poured everyone a glass of fruit and vegetable juice. This is juice squeezed from celery, cucumber, pineapple, banana and other fruits and vegetables.

This kind of fruit and vegetable juice is not only delicious, but also more fat-free and not easy to get angry, so it is better paired with hot pot.

Although what we had today was vegetarian hot pot, there were a lot of types of ingredients, including vegetables that had nothing to do with meat, and even Yinzhou’s limited delicacy - Pi Zha.

Lao Shen sniffed and smelled the fresh aroma coming out of the pot and said:

"Hey, this smells good. I'm really a little greedy."

Although there is no meat, I will put two pieces of skin dregs in the pot and add them with sesame sauce and chili oil. If I eat it so happily, I guess I can feel like eating meat.

Han Shufen picked up a piece of gluten from the pot, dipped it in the plate and put it in her mouth, her eyes full of surprise:

"Oh, this hot pot is fresher than those time-honored hot pot restaurants. It tastes really good. I have to ask my nanny at home to learn how to make it tomorrow."

She has also eaten vegan fat-reducing meals in the past.

I didn’t feel any discomfort after eating, but I just felt like I didn’t want to live.

Today I thought it would be a tasteless vegetarian dish, but I didn’t expect that this hot pot is full of flavor, even better than the ones in hot pot restaurants.

In this case, vegetarian or meat dishes are actually not important anymore, as long as they are delicious.

Chen Yan, who originally wanted to take a bite and eat meat if it didn't taste good, was now devouring the food in the pot, feeling like she was eating hot pot in a restaurant for the first time.

"It's so delicious, I can show off this hotpot for a year."

After eating two bites of hot pot, and then taking a sip of fruit and vegetable juice, it is really enjoyable.

Shi Wenqing looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Why do the fruit and vegetable juices I make at home taste so bad? Do you have any tips here?"

"Just add a banana when juicing. Use the aroma of the banana to offset the blandness of the vegetables. If possible, it is best to use ripe bananas, which will have a stronger aroma and better taste."

Upon hearing this, everyone else secretly remembered it and planned to try it when they are not busy.

While eating, Lin Xu came to the kitchen, took out the steamed bullfrog from the pot, stirred it, and poured it into Dundun's eating plate.

When it's dry and no longer burns your mouth, you can let the little one enjoy it.

In order to speed up the cooling, he deliberately took out some ice cubes from the refrigerator and put the plate on it.

Soon, the meat on the plate has reached a warm state.

In the living room, Dundun was already impatient with waiting. When she saw Lin Xu coming out of the kitchen with a plate, she immediately rushed towards him.

"I promised you the double portion of steamed pork. You can spread it out and eat it, but don't force it if you can't finish it. Don't burst it."

Dundun snorted, lowered his head and started to take a big mouthful of rice, no longer caring about responding to Lin Xu's reminder.

Returning to the restaurant again, Shen Jiayue was putting crystal powder into the pot, and Lao Shen was busy blanching spinach.

Blanch the fresh and juicy spinach in tomato soup for a few times, take it out, and eat it directly without dipping anything. It still tastes sweet and delicious, and is crisp and tender with the unique freshness of vegetables. It tastes very enjoyable.

Lin Xu saw that there was not much soup in the pot, so he added some vegetarian stock and tomato soup, then sat down and continued eating.

When we first started eating, everyone felt that something was missing without meat, but now, eating various vegetables and ingredients in the pot, dipping them in sesame sauce or sweet and spicy sauce, feels very comfortable.

Especially ingredients such as sweet potato chips are delicious when eaten.
