Autumn has entered, and autumn is thick as a day. Especially in the white dew festival, the feeling of autumn is most obvious. The temperature officially begins to cool, the autumn dryness is most pronounced, and the real autumn begins.
Obviously, the term "summer autumn walk" is no longer suitable for our way of life at this time. Before and after the white dew, we should have a new "seasonal" mode of life.
Especially in terms of diet, cold drinks, cold dishes, and so on in the summer should be put aside for the time being. On the contrary, like soup and water, you can eat more, after all, such a dietary tonic effect will be better.
Most of the ingredients used to stew soups are seasonal foods in autumn. For example, we can stew pork rib soup with corn that has just ripened in the autumn, or we can stew soup with lotus roots that have just been marketed from Jiangnan Water Village, and so on.
In addition, pears are also a rare stew in autumn. Whether it is for the elderly, children, or adults, it is very suitable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > the benefits of pear and red date stew:</h1>
First of all, for pears, it is a seasonal fruit in autumn. Snowflake pear, Fengshui pear, apple pear, Nanguo pear, Western pear, etc., the variety is quite rich. It can even be said that if the pears are left in autumn, the fruit market will have to sell half the amount of fruit.
Autumn ripe pears, crisp flesh, less fiber, more juicy water, strong sweetness, the best taste. If it is used to stew soup, it is also very suitable, and the pear water alone is enough to make the soup taste more beautiful. Therefore, some people even call autumn pears "natural mineral water" and "jade milk".
In addition, it quenches thirst, moisturizes the lungs, clears heat and reduces noise, which is just suitable for the climatic characteristics before and after the white dew. But if you want to talk about nourishment, cooked food is better than raw food.
The benefits of eating pears are recorded in the book "Materia Medica": "The heat of the six intestines of the living is clear, and the yin of the five internal organs is nourished by the ripe." ”
Therefore, using autumn pears to stew soup, this obviously becomes the most suitable soup for autumn. In order to make its warm supplement effect better, we can add some dates when stewing pears.
The red dates taste very sweet, and stewing the soup with pears can increase the sweetness of the soup, making the soup more intense and taste better. And red dates are also very nutritious food, and even the elderly often say: "Eclipse three dates, immortality." ”
Although this statement is more exaggerated, it is enough to prove that the nutritional value of dates is extremely high. Therefore, the white dew is stewed with autumn pears before and after, which can be said to be in line with the seasonal nutrition and deliciousness. Warm and rejuvenating, the whole autumn will be very energetic.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" > the specific operation of pear and red date stew:</h1>
First, the ingredients that need to be prepared:
Pears and dates are definitely ingredients that must be prepared, but in order to make the soup taste better and more nutritious. We can add some other ingredients according to personal preference. For example, lilies, lotus seeds, white fungus, peach gum, snow swallow, soap horn rice, and so on.
Older than I chose: autumn pear, red date, lily, peach gum.
Second, the specific approach:
1, first put the lily and peach gum into the water to soak the hair, the time for the lily to bubble will be shorter, and the time required for peach gum will be longer. Peach gum takes about 12 hours to soak until there is no hard core.
After the bubble is good, the peach gum is crystal clear and looks very full. However, there will be a little obvious impurities in the individual peach gum, which are actually just some dust or other impurities contaminated by the peach gum in the secretion process.
After it is soaked, we can stir it clockwise by hand so that the impurities will automatically fall off. Alternatively, directly with forceps or hands, the impurities can be removed.
2. Wash the autumn pears, then peel and cut into small pieces.
Although the skin of autumn pears can also be eaten, it is also nutritious. But if you want to pursue the taste, peeling will be better. When the pear soup is stewed, the pears without skin will be soft and sweet, feeling like eating jelly.
In addition, because the pear is peeled and cut into pieces, it is easy to be oxidized and discolored. Therefore, the cut pears must be put into the pot as soon as possible and simmered. If it is not used immediately, it is best to seal it with plastic wrap and temporarily put it in the refrigerator cabinet.
3, wash the jujube, break it open by hand, and cut out the jujube core.
If it is a stew, the dates are best cut or broken. This allows the nutrients in the dates, as well as the taste, to soak into the soup to the maximum.
And picking out the jujube kernel can be more convenient to eat, especially for the elderly and children, it will be safer to do so, and will not accidentally eat the jujube kernel.
4. Add the prepared ingredients and simmer.
During the stewing process, we can put it in order and step by step according to the characteristics of the prepared food.
Pears can be stewed for a while, and a longer period of simmering will make the pear taste softer and stickier. So, we can put in the pear first.
After boiling, cook for another two or three minutes, and then we add the dates, lilies, and peach gum in turn. Once the pot is boiled again, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 or 20 minutes.
Many people like to add some rock sugar to the stewed pear soup, but the old yu does not recommend this. Because the autumn pear itself is very sweet, and the jujube is also very sweet, even if you don't add rock sugar, the taste of stewing is already very sweet.
If you add rock sugar, the sweetness is too great, but there is a very sweet feeling, and even a little sweet throat, so the taste is not good.
So, you might as well try the old way!
