The work week is very busy, and the weekend night is really hard, and the average person will definitely say that either go out for a meal at night, but we would rather stay at home and eat something casually, rummage through the refrigerator at home and a little leftovers, smoked fish, beef, greens, and two ready-made side dishes, and make up for a late dinner.
The first is to cook a large pot of rice noodles, rice noodles is the name of Taizhou, other places will be called rice noodles or rice noodles, although they are rice products, but each place will be slightly different, the taste is different. Yunnan region is called rice noodles, other places are mostly called rice noodles, plus the ingredients are sour, spicy and smooth, and cooked for a long time.
Taizhou area is called rice noodles, as the name suggests is made of rice thin noodles, rather than wheat flour; if you go to Taizhou, roadside rice noodle shops can be seen everywhere, breakfast and lunch dinner can be solved with a bowl of rice noodles, rich and thrifty by people, the most Taizhou characteristics of course is seafood rice noodles, or seafood fried rice noodles. Once went to Taizhou's Jiaojiang District, found a very famous Road Bridge ginger soup noodles, ordered a signature seafood ginger soup noodles 40 yuan a large bowl, using a unique yellow cauliflower, tanned dried shrimp, small grains of shiitake mushrooms, zibai silk, squid, clams, fresh shrimp as ingredients, thick ginger soup to make the soup base, which is added is rice noodles, the memory is quite deep.
A friend in Taizhou told me that they grew up eating a bowl of ginger noodle soup, of course, when they were young, they didn't have so many condiments. We cooked a large pot of Taizhou rice noodles, sautéed with some ginger shreds, boiled the water, added rice noodles, added smoked fish, white cut beef, green vegetables, and blanched a bowl for each person. Of course, the taste of ginger is not as strong as that eaten in Taizhou, but I also remembered going to Taizhou and Dachen Island to play.
This is a sweet and sour pickle, is my own pickle, on the weekend when I bought a large piece of children's vegetables, washed and cut fine slices, salted for a few hours, kill out the water, and then put in the ice box with sugar, vinegar, garlic paste and a little salt, first mix well, and then add mineral water to cover the children's vegetable slices, you can try the taste of the soup, salty and light sour and sweet just put into the refrigerator, three days later you can eat, is a good dish with wine to send porridge, take it at any time, stronger than the outside to buy, their own pickled sour and sweet, not too salty and no oil, just love its fresh and crisp taste.
Pickled flower crab, how we Ningbo people love to eat pickled food, but also the flower crab bought in the vegetable market, remove the crab lid, crab cheeks, cut into small pieces with clean scissors, marinate with salt, cooking wine, a little white wine for 48 hours, when you eat, you can mix some sugar to neutralize the taste, and don't be too salty. One of the advantages of pickling flower crab is that it is cheap, 15 yuan a pound of crab is very fresh, followed by the shell is soft and easy to taste, easy to bite open, no tooth.
Eating simple meals, chatting about the day, the more we ate, the more interested we became, and everyone poured two or two Shaoxing plus rice wine to drink. Northerners say that dumplings are wine, and the more they eat, the more they have, and we southerners have rice noodles with rice wine, and the more we eat, the more we eat, the more we have.
Although smoked fish and white-cut beef were leftovers from the freezer the day before, we used to cook rice noodles just right and the fridge was empty again.
Tomorrow, after rest, you can go to the vegetable market again to prepare for fresh ingredients.
Dinner at home is simple and comfortable, we prefer to eat at home, what about you?
