The mention of lentil stew reminds me of our secret cooking in the office. It must have been a few years ago, and everyone must have known that cooking is not allowed in the office, let alone electric stoves. But where we work is far from the canteen, if you want to have lunch, you have to walk for 10 minutes, not all of them, the office must be left. We came up with a way to cook rice in a rice cooker, wash it after use, and put it away immediately to avoid confiscation.
At that time, it was often made of lentil stew, and the ingredients used were nothing more than lentils and sausages, although the ingredients were monotonous, everyone still felt very fragrant. Although I have long been out of that work environment, I still miss that time, everyone sat around, and the atmosphere was good.
Nowadays, when you make lentil stew, you can need more ingredients, not only stew, but also sauté lentils in advance, and add whatever ingredients you want. Without further ado, let's take a look at the lentil risotto I made!
Ingredients: rice, lentils, oil, salt, oyster sauce, prawns, rice noodles, kelp knots, shiitake mushrooms, green onion, ginger and garlic.
Preparation steps:
1, peel the prawns, remove the shrimp line, remove the tendons on both sides of the lentils, break into small pieces.
2, Shiitake mushrooms soak softly, cut into small pieces, wash the lentils and control the dry water.
3, Wash the rice, put it in the rice cooker, add a little less water than usual steamed rice.
4, onion ginger garlic cut into minced, put oil in the pot, hot oil with onion ginger garlic pot, put in lentils sautéed, lentils discolored after adding prawns and shiitake mushrooms continue to sauté, add oyster sauce, a little salt. Remove it and pour into a rice cooker.
5, rice noodles meat cut into slices, yard on top of the lentils, adjust the rice cooker to the cooking stall, start simmering, to the time will automatically stop.
6, kelp knots are cooked, you can add it when the lentil stew is cooked.
Tips:
1, when sautéing lentils, put more minced garlic.
2, oyster sauce, rice noodle meat is already salty, so when adding salt, put less, so as not to be too salty.
Look at the oily, fragrant lentil stew, the fresh aroma of prawns, the sweet aroma of rice noodles, and the fragrance emitted by shiitake mushrooms, it is really delicious, compared to the delicious food I used to make in the office, I don't know how many times. But at that time, it was an atmosphere, a pure friendship between colleagues. And that friendship, when I think back, I miss it.
A good meal, a sweet memory, always feel very happy.
