The petals of the lilies are white and jade-colored, and each one seems to be soothed like a whisper of spring. Gently tear and throw in clean water as if gently hugging it, leaving it clean and hydrated. After 10 minutes of immersion, it not only washes away the dirt, but also rejuvenates it and reveals a more vivid color. After washing, drain the water, and wait for the lily to wait for the first fresh encounter with celery.
The green appearance of celery is desirable, and soaking in salt is the secret to keeping it fresh. Blanching the celery in the water takes only one to two minutes, as if a spring breeze is blowing. Instantly plunged into cold water to make it feel as fresh as new, so that it can maintain its crisp taste even between temperature differences.
Minced garlic cooked in hot oil is the prelude to the feast. When the temperature of the oil rises to about 60%, add minced garlic, and in an instant, the aroma of garlic overflows like spring flowers. Subsequently, celery and lily appeared on the stage, composing a symphony on the tip of the tongue.
Fast dance steps under fire Put the celery segments in and stir-fry them over high heat, which is the passionate dance of celery and lilies. After 1 to 2 minutes of rapid heating, the celery can fully develop its aroma, while the lily needs to be handled with care to avoid over-stir-frying, so as not to spoil its taste and nutritional value. In this short cooking process, every inch of the ingredients jumps in the pan to unleash the ultimate flavor.
The art of seasoning salt The right amount of salt is the pinnacle of the dish. When salt is added, celery and lilies absorb their aroma and saltiness, as if the sparkling dew of spring is sprinkled on every inch of the ingredients. Stir-fry briefly until the soup has condensed, and all the flavors are harmoniously blended and ready to be served in a bowl.
Controlling how long celery is blanched is the key to ensuring its fresh taste. Too long will cause the celery to become softer, and too short may leave a bitter taste. If you prefer a more crisp texture, you can shorten the blanching time moderately and rinse with cold water several times after blanching. This is the secret of celery cooking, and it is also the secret of spring cuisine.
The cooking of the lily, as the final stroke of this feast, is particularly delicate and soft. Due to its delicate texture, the cooking process needs to be handled with care to avoid over-frying to ensure that the taste and nutrients are not damaged. In this final stage of meticulous processing, the lily and celery work together to create a delicious experience full of spring flavors.
When the flavors are blended and the soup is rich, there is no doubt that all the hard work will eventually become the fragrance of spring. Served on a plate of cooked lily celery, this dish is not only a treat for the taste buds, but also a poetic expression of spring, a delight for the eyes and the soul.
