Lotus leaf rice with preserved meat for family reunion
Introduction:
"Next week is the Spring Festival, and time flies quickly. I remember last year, because the air ticket to Kuala Lumpur was very expensive, so I went back to Shanghai for the Spring Festival. Originally, my husband was going to Kuala Lumpur for Chinese new year, but I stayed in Kuala Lumpur for a while, and finally I went back to Shanghai for Chinese New Year. When I didn't come to Shanghai before, I didn't know how the Chinese Spring Festival was. I always felt that it must be more lively than my hometown. But when I came to Shanghai, I found that the Chinese Lunar New Year was not as lively as I thought. On the contrary, my husband said that the lunar new year in my hometown is more lively than that in China. In fact, there will be lion dance in every place, especially in rural areas. Lion dance is a door-to-door dance, so it will be very lively. Shops, plazas and Basa in the center of the city also invite lion dance troupes to dance lions in various shops, which means that business is booming. On the first day of the new year in Shanghai, apart from the lion dance in the pedestrian street, there is no New Year atmosphere in other places. So, my husband said that this is the Spring Festival in Shanghai. Let's talk about this lotus leaf rice with preserved meat. In fact, this lotus leaf rice is indispensable in festive banquet, such as wedding or birthday banquet. I specially used the soaked rice and steamed it in the pot for an hour after frying, which can make the rice absorb the fragrance of lotus leaf more. It's OK to stir fry the cooked rice and steam it in lotus leaf for 15 minutes, but I don't think the taste is so fragrant. New year's Day is to get together and have a good time talking and laughing, and make good use of these days' holiday to accompany the family to spend the Spring Festival. "
Production steps:
Step 1: dice carrot and sausage, mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey sauce, pepper and sesame oil as seasoning.
Step 2: wash the rice and lotus seeds and soak them for two hours. The water content must be less than that of rice. After soaking, pour out the excess water and set aside.
Step 3: put proper amount of water into the pot and bring to a boil. Rinse lotus leaves with water and put them into the pot.
Step 4: after boiling, the lotus leaves become soft and can be fished out for standby, without boiling in water for a long time.
Step 5: put the sausage into a cold pot, and stir fry it over low heat.
Step 6: as the sausage is easy to scorch, stir fry it over low heat until you smell the fragrance.
Step 7: add corn kernels, diced carrots and soaked lotus seeds. Stir fry all lotus seeds or leave about 10-15 for decoration.
Step 8: stir fry the ingredients for 1 minute.
Step 9: add the softened rice.
Step 10: add the seasoning.
Step 11: stir fry for five minutes and then turn off.
Step 12: put the boiled lotus leaves into a large bowl, and trim the edges of the lotus leaves slightly so that the size is not too large.
Step 13: after pruning lotus leaves, add fried rice, compact with spoon and decorate the surface with the remaining lotus seeds.
Step 14: fold up the lotus leaf on the side, don't put a toothpick into it, and then tie up the fold of the lotus leaf.
Step 15: put into a heated steamer and steam over medium heat for one hour.
Step 16: after the lotus leaf rice is steamed, take it out from the steamer, take out the toothpick and eat it.
Materials required:
Lotus seed: 30
Corn kernels: 5 tbsp
Carrot: Half Root
Cantonese sausage: 2 pieces
Lotus leaf: one
Rice: 2 cups
Oyster sauce: 2 tbsp
Soy sauce: 3 tbsp
Pepper: right amount
Stewed soy sauce: 2 tbsp
Sesame oil: 2 tbsp
Note: - lotus leaves in hot water cooking time does not need to be very long, just boiled soft on the line. -Sausages are easy to scorch when they are fried, so they must be heated slowly in a cold pan. -Corn kernels and diced carrots can use frozen corn kernels sold in supermarkets. -After the rice is soaked, the excess water can be poured out without draining. -Because the rice is directly steamed in the pot, the steaming time is slightly longer than that of lotus leaf rice. -Many people ask me how to make the secret braised sauce. In fact, I have bought it in the supermarket. It can also be replaced by old soy sauce, but the old soy sauce is too salty and not fragrant. I suggest using this secret braised sauce as one of the seasonings.
