It is said that due to the impact of la Niña, this year's winter will be colder. The first snow in Beijing was 23 days earlier, and even Guangzhou, which has been looking forward to autumn all year round, has rarely had a real autumn.
The flesh can feel, the cold in the wind, has penetrated into the bones coldly, it is the taste of winter. Every morning when I wake up, I can truly appreciate my body's attachment to the quilt.
After finishing work, I stepped out of the company, subconsciously tightened my neck and tightened a scarf, and wanted to go to the convenience store on the corner to eat a warm and sweet oden, or eat a hot pot with a friend.
The Life of a Witty Doctor
The four seasons rotate, and people and all things instinctively crave warmth in winter, always wanting to eat hot food in large mouthfuls.
People enjoy the food with confidence because no one is clamoring for weight loss during the season. Raising a little fat is a strategy and nature of human beings to spend the winter, and there is no little energy how to survive the cold.
I love my own winter surrounded by the warmth of food. Not only should today's three meals a day be well arranged, but even the film of the next meal should be as hot as it gets, so that the expectation of tomorrow's three meals will rise up in the present.
Although the weather is cold, although the days are difficult, as long as you can still eat hot things, there are warm food memories in your mind, you can always harvest a little bit of the beauty of the taste of winter, making people feel that life can still be good.

Refreshing and warm turnips
It is a supporting role and a protagonist
When it comes to oden, everyone has their own must-have. Some people like bamboo wheels, some people like konjac, some people like fish cakes, some people like eggs, and what I cherish and cherish to enjoy last is always radish.
I remember that there is an episode of "Lonely Foodie" in which Goro enters a barbecue restaurant, sees a smoking Oden, and first picks a bunch of beef tendons and a piece of radish to start.
This uncle drew out the bamboo skewers, used chopsticks to cut the radish into four parts, the heat rose, dipped in yellow mustard and put it in his mouth, immediately praised the radish for its good taste, the soup seasoning was very sweet, and could not help but sigh "Sure enough, winter is to eat this."
Goro obviously likes turnips. He likes radish in the mixed vegetable pot, the radish stewed with anchovy, and he must also come to a piece of radish to cook at the company to eat takeaway.
The Lonely Foodie
The white radish full of soup tastes delicious and sweet, and after eating it, the whole body immediately heats up, and even the cold fingertip ends are more alive.
White radish is indeed a delicacy that belongs to winter. Cantonese people pay attention to not eating from time to time, and among the ingredients made in winter, I also like white radish the most.
Old-fashioned people say that in winter, eat radish sai ginseng. Probably in the winter, the human body is dry and hot, and there is more food, and the white radish is hot and can help digestion. In my opinion, no amount of health benefits can withstand two words: delicious.
《Cooking Senji》
The white radish in winter is particularly sweet and tender, and I can't do without it, whether it is a refreshing saucepan or a strong hot pot.
It was so hot that you had to keep breathing when you put it in your mouth, and you got up tight to embrace the surging warmth, and it was so sweet and moist that it loosened the dull dry and hard cold.
In the winter episode of "Little Forest", Ichiko hangs raw radish slices outdoors and freezes them at low temperatures to preserve them in a natural way.
"Little Forest"
When it's time to eat, take a bunch, cut the dried radish slices into pieces, soak in water and spread out again, adding herring and seasonal vegetables, which is very delicious.
Ichiko sat alone in the quilt stove, eating the turnips in the herring vegetable soup. She was like this, freezing the turnips while waiting for the arrival of spring.
Don't look at the white radish to look like a humble supporting role, it can also become an absolute protagonist.
Many years ago, Akane, played by Akine in "Cooking Senji", ran a traditional Japanese restaurant. The first episode is about a kaiseki dish featuring turnips.
Ah Xian soaked the whole fish in the water for two days, and the juice was soaked and used to simmer the radish slowly.
This dish is very heat-conscious and has to be restarted once it is boiled. The radish selected is home-grown, washed without peeling, and cut into a section in order to maximize the preservation of the taste and taste of all parts of the radish.
The radish that comes out of this way melts in the mouth, and it is also mixed with the umami taste of fish, and it is refreshing and warm to eat in the cold winter.

Roll it over! Pots and pans
After the first cold wind blew through my skin and stirred up a stirring spirit, I knew that my body was in desperate need of healing from the Suki-ryok that grunted and sang.
Goro's Ichigo Man's Ichigoki pot is a classic, and I can brush it repeatedly every winter.
Roast the green onion until fragrant, add fatty beef slices, konjac shreds, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and artemisia annua, pour sukiyaki sauce, and beat eggs in a bowl.
When the pan starts to sound, pick up the beef slices and let the egg liquid fully wrap the beef and immediately put it in your mouth.
Oh my God, this mouthful of meat mixed with egg, oil, sweet and meat is simply a delicious taste that makes people laugh out loud.
Ordinary vegetarian side dishes are also particularly delicious due to the soup that blends with gravy.
At the end of the meal, the remaining Sukiyaki pot soup, Goro can also add a raw egg to the next bowl of rice.
This way of eating reminds me of my regular rice companion, who always ends with a bowl of raw egg butter rice, a little leftover soup, and a drop of soy sauce.
She always said that when she took the last bite, she was a good man full of vitality, and she could go out to meet the critical blow of life.
I like the story of the pig five flowers white menu person hot pot in "Late Night Canteen", a woman named Kae, who will order a single hot pot every night when she passes through the canteen, and eat it very satisfied.
《Late Night Dining Room》
Regular A-Chung recognized Kae, the goddess of his youth.
He didn't understand why Ming, who was born very well, would become a cleaner and take care of his nephew who couldn't make it.
When he ate the pork five flowers white menu people hot pot, he finally understood that Kae did not want a rich life, but only needed some reasons to work hard for life, which was enough to make her satisfied and happy.
A casserole dish, cabbage, pork belly and mushrooms, add bonito broth to the boil, it's that simple.
Life is not easy, daily hard work for food and clothing, but also a little warmth above food and clothing.
Japanese pots can be made in a very simple way to make a warm and hearty appearance. Lin Yun'er made a Japanese mille-feuille pot once in the healing department slow variety show "Xiaoli Family Homestay", which is simple and delicious and beautiful.
《Filial Piety Homestay》
After washing the cabbage leaves and suzi leaves, a layer of cabbage, a layer of meat slices, a layer of suzi leaves, after setting up a certain thickness, with a knife cut two or three parts, and then yard in the pot. Add shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, artemisia annua, pour pork bone broth on the bottom, and bring to a boil.
On the eve of the severe winter blizzard on Jeju Island, eating a mille-feuille pot in a warm wooden house, the contrasting warmth that can be felt by the naked eye, is not the ultimate pursuit of human beings in winter?
Korean hot pot is even more popular, often on my winter menu. I think it's good to note that Korean hot pot often contains the staple food itself, and it is incomplete without rice cakes or ramen.
The Class 99 Gang of Five in Doctor Witty Life once met at a rice cake hot pot restaurant. Unlike spicy stir-fried rice cakes, this way of eating is not a snack, but a hot pot with rice cakes as the protagonist and a whole pot of rich ingredients.
Rice cake sticky look, full stomach and chewing fun, love love.

Best food taste in winter
In the winter, my mother always urged me to eat more: "The weather is freezing and freezing, how can it be warm without rice?" "In the eyes of the elders, only rice can feed people, and only staple foods can produce calories.
Indeed, there is no charcoal sticker in winter, which is really not antifreeze. Autumn wind rises, eating wax flavor, we Cantonese people have the preference of eating wax flavor pot rice after autumn.
In the past, it was a pity to eat pot rice in the difficult times, but now it has become a kind of fun and exquisite.
The oil duck leg is mixed with sausage bacon, and the oil of the sufficient ingredients is diverted to the bottom of the pot in the high temperature, making the rice charred more sweet and crispy, mixed with special soy sauce, so that you can eat it with a delicious taste and warm Kasa.
Cantonese people also have the tradition of eating waxy glutinous rice in the cold, because glutinous rice tonifies the qi, and the sugar content is higher than that of rice, and it is warmer than the whole body after eating, which is conducive to driving away the cold, which shows that glutinous rice not only has a soft and sticky taste, but also has a warming effect.
Don't tell you that I grew up in school and liked to buy a sticky rice chicken for breakfast on the road. In the winter, I went out to catch the bus before dawn at six o'clock, and this soft mouth gave me great energy.
Anyway, eating glutinous rice in winter is the right time, and it is easier to digest.
The rice cakes in the Korean-style hot pot are made of glutinous rice, and the Japanese dumplings are also beaten cakes made of glutinous rice. In "Little Forest", Ichiko spends her childhood in Komori and makes miso dumplings with other villagers in the winter.
Adults take turns pounding sticky rice while praying that it will turn into delicious dumplings. Children go to the snow to bury and dig out natto.
The glutinous rice dumplings are mixed in natto and stirred while hot, and the steaming, smooth and soft glutinous rice dumplings and natto with a strong flavor of sugar soy sauce make people feel full and gentle.
Goro also likes glutinous rice dumplings, not only will he enter the store to order three kinds of glutinous rice dumplings to skewer once to satisfy the mouth of the dessert, but also show a complete expression when he eats the after-dinner dessert bean paste rice balls served by the restaurant after eating.
The sweet soup of red beans in the sand and the soft dumplings are a perfect match. As Goro said, "The body and mind have been resurrected." ”
Inside the beans, red beans can be described as a face with winter.
It is said that eating red beans in winter is conducive to nourishing the heart and blood and strengthening the spleen and stomach. People with cold hands and feet, red beans can help you warm up.
Moreover, red beans are easy to sand, taste has a gentle and dense taste, and making bean paste can also become the filling of many desserts.
Ichiko boiled beans in red bean paste in the winter of Komori and made hot red bean buns.
Winter without sweets is incomplete. Take a bite of the hot, sticky red bean bun as if it wasn't that hard this winter.
By the way, my favorite Japanese sweet is actually Doraemon's favorite gong ware. When it was cold, I put the gong I bought in the oven and heated it slightly.
Kiki Shirin's dedication to red bean filling in "The Taste of Orange Sand" made me understand that the soul of the gong is red beans, and there is love, pain, entanglement, and more beautiful feelings.
The Smell of Orange Sand
Life is in a hurry, step by step, it will always give you the taste you deserve. Winter is cold, yes, but it's also a time when we build up energy.
Eat well and dress warmly, and wait for the spring day.
