Friends who follow me should know that a few days ago I came up with a "capsule-preserved egg tofu soup" way to eat, at this time it is the spring time to try it, which has attracted all foodies to be eager to try, and today I will take the opportunity to share a "soup" way to eat, but with another "wild vegetable", the method is more different.
The protagonist of today's soup is the spring often eaten "Ma Lantou" in southern Jiangsu, which is called "seven heads and one brain" with wolfberry head, toon head, camellia head, small garlic head, pea head, grass head, chrysanthemum brain, which occupies a place on the spring table of southern Jiangsu people, especially Ma Lantou and "wild vegetable sister".
Malan head is also known as chicken intestines, red terrier vegetables (there is a difference between green stems and red stems), because it belongs to the Asteraceae vegetable, and belongs to the same Asteraceae "chrysanthemum" has a faint fragrance, at the beginning it is a kind of wild vegetable born in the field roadside, on the hillside, now it is like a seasonal vegetable, and it is particularly sought-after after spring. It is also very nutritious, belonging to high potassium and low sodium vegetables, with a potassium content of 285 mg and only 15 mg of sodium. It is also an "anti-inflammatory wild vegetable", and the medicinal value of red stems is higher.
Ma Lantou and soy products are a natural match, the most representative is the classic "Ma Lan Tou mixed with fragrant dry", I have also shared the practice before, if you are interested, you can go to the homepage to search, today I will use Ma Lantou and tofu balls to make a fresh soup, a good nutrition, full of fragrance and strong taste. For detailed steps, see the breakdown below
Ma Lantou tofu ball soup——
Ingredients preparation: a pot of Ma Lantou, a piece of old tofu, a piece of fresh minced meat, green onion and ginger, salt, chicken essence, sesame oil, dry starch, starch water.
Step 1: Rinse the fresh maran head with clean water, then boil the pot, add some salt and cooking oil to the pot, blanch the water for more than ten seconds and take it out, quickly cool it with cold water, take it out and squeeze out the water and then chop it for later use.
Step 2: To process the tofu below, add some minced green onion and ginger to a piece of old tofu, and wear disposable gloves to crush it into tofu puree. You must use old tofu here, tender tofu will not succeed.
Step 3: Add a piece of minced fresh pork to the tofu puree, add salt and chicken essence to taste, and then add some dry starch to improve the cohesion of the tofu filling.
Step 4: Boil half a pot of boiling water in the pot, turn off the heat when it boils, then take a small piece of tofu stuffing, rub it into small balls with both hands, try to hold it tighter with your hands, put the tofu balls into the pot, put all the tofu balls into the pot in turn, let the balls set in warm water first, and then turn on low heat and slowly boil to basically cook thoroughly.
Step 5: At this time, put the chopped maran head into the pot, add salt and chicken essence to taste, gently push it with a spoon, and then dilute it with dry starch and water and pour it into the pot to make the soup thicker, and finally pour in some sesame oil to get out of the pot. Take a sip of Ma Lantou first, the fragrance is very sufficient, and then a tofu ball, tender and delicious, I can solve this bowl with three bowls of rice alone, and it is worth everyone to try the special way to eat.
Ahu's cooking tricks——
No matter how simple the dish is, there are cooking tips: do not use boiling water to cook the tofu balls when they are first put into the pot to prevent the boiling water from washing the tofu away, turn off the heat when the water is boiled, and slowly "raise" it with warm water and then boil.
Don't cook for too long when Ma Lantou puts it in the pot for the second time, and you can get out of the pot by directly seasoning and thickening it after getting out of the pot.
I'm Ahu's snack light, a gluttonous eater who likes to study different ways to eat food! Spring is just in time, Ma Lantou can't be missed, and the first stubble is fresh at home.
