Taste of Memory 931
Zen Small Vegetarian
In the old days, my mother would sometimes steam a pot of coarse grains, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc., all the same. I prefer potatoes and want to eat them with sugar. Steamed potatoes, floured noodles, added sugar, and have a sweet taste. Or make a soy sauce chili oil, which is delicious when dipped.
At that time, my father loved to have an auspicious name, and this pot of steamed coarse grains also had a good meaning of prosperity. There are many different approaches to vegetarian food. For example, take an appropriate amount of apricot abalone mushrooms, cut the tofu into thick slices, fry them in a pan until golden brown, and chop the ginger and tempeh.
Take a plate, add a slice of tofu, a slice of apricot abalone mushrooms, a slice of red pepper, repeat the steps to fill a plate, mix the minced ginger and tempeh with soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, a little salt, pour into the dish, steam for a few minutes on low heat, sprinkle some green pepper crushed, pour a few drops of good sesame sesame oil, and eat.
The softness of tofu, the thickness of apricot abalone mushrooms, the sweetness of red peppers, the saltiness of tempeh, the slight spiciness of green peppers, and the mellowness and richness of sesame sesame oil. If you prefer sweets, peel the yam, cut it into small pieces, and put pickled plums on each piece, put a goji berry on the plum, and put it on a plate and steam it one by one.
Bring a bowl of water to a boil, add sugar to a sugar juice, pour over and serve. The soft side of the yam, combined with the sweetness of the sour and sugar juice of the plum, is a vegetarian dessert suitable for all ages. There are also simple steamed vegetarian dishes, such as wild vegetables in the spring, or carrots, celery leaves, and artemisia annua and steamed noodles.
My mom has a friend who goes to the morning market every morning every morning in the summer to buy vegetables and fruits for the day, and also goes for a walk. Auntie's lover went to the wild and plucked some tender wild vegetables to send. That wild vegetable, my favorite, because there is no trace of artificial cultivation in nature, it is cold mixed with water and it tastes delicious.
I will also steam a large plate, mix some flour, add some salt, after steaming, I pour some chili oil, light salty and slightly spicy taste, can be eaten as rice. I think that life is just so appropriate and long, the four seasons of three meals, in time, slowly flow sour, sweet, bitter and salty life, there are desolation, there are also sorrows and joys.
Taste of life, the taste of life, often these ordinary and plain days, more vivid and bright. I still remember when I was young, on the stove at home, steaming sugar buns, I loved the steaming heat that just came out of the pot, and when I took a bite, it was the sweetness of the juice. In the seventies, the materials were scarce, but just as happy.
So, happiness is just a cold and warm self-aware feeling, not defined by the accumulation of material things or the superposition of money. All good days are contented and happy with the heart. Contented, a plate of steamed potatoes can also see the light of the years, dipped in sugar, is a sweet and sweet good life.
