Human fireworks smell, the most touching people. The only thing in the world to live up to is food.
Family reunion dinner
Given the severity of the epidemic, I decided to stay at home and contribute to society. Therefore, after returning to Nanjing from Beijing, QIAN Xiansen and I did not go back to our hometown and stayed in Nanjing for the Spring Festival. This was the first Spring Festival together.
Although there are only two of us, we still need to prepare well for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Bamboo harbinger
Ingredients: Cucumber, corn, carrot
First process the cucumber as shown below. Bamboo leaves are made from cucumber skins.
Corn, carrots, if you’re going to have prawns or ham, you can put them in. Add some peas, too. I made it on the spur of the moment, with only corn and carrots at home.

Cut a “scar face” for shiitake mushrooms, I generally cut into the following, you can also cross knife, can be. If you have a microwave at home, turn mushrooms on high for 2 minutes.
Cut the vegetables in half, wash them, bring water to boil, add oil and salt, and put them in and boil. Once cooked, remove and serve.
Stir-fry minced garlic until fragrant, add shiitake mushrooms, then add some oil, soy sauce and other seasonings, and put shiitake mushrooms on the green vegetables.
General practice: chao tian jiao, garlic cloves, ginger stir-fry, then beef stir-fry, add baby vegetables stir-fry, add water, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onion ~

Sprinkle with meat
Ingredients: Bell pepper, lean meat
Because qian Xiansen and I do not eat fat meat, so I choose lean meat to do the stir-fry meat, in addition, because of the time, also do a simplified version.
Slice the meat, add salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, minced garlic and ginger and marinate for half an hour to an hour.
Stir-fry ginger and garlic until fragrant, then stir-fry meat, and finally add chilli

Cold okra
Ingredients: Okra, minced garlic
Seasoning: oil consumption, soy sauce
Wash the okra and blanch it for about 2 minutes, adding oil and salt to the water to give it a nice colour. Once removed, cut it in half (it doesn’t matter if you don’t).
One tablespoon of oil, soy sauce, add some water. Stir-fry the garlic in oil until fragrant. Pour the seasoning into it, stir it a few times, and pour it over the okra. (I usually add the seasoning directly, not in a bowl beforehand, everyone according to their own habits).

Glutinous Rice Ball
In fact, I don’t know what to eat on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. When I was a child, I thought customs were old and should be abandoned, but now, customs have become inheritance and a sense of ritual in my eyes.
Supermarket buy miss dazzle color dumplings, taste is good, good appearance.

flowers
Back to Nanjing a few days before buying, in addition to vegetables and fruits, flowers are also essential. A bunch of red rose, a bunch of lily, add the rose that a bunch of oneself match, at a draught in the home much angry.
Two oranges and orange peel, nori for eyes, blueberries, because I’m out of blueberries, eggplant peel for eyes, hahaha. So this orange is really delicious, it’s really delicate, it’s really moist, and it’s really sweet, it’s perfect.

Ring oil cucumber
Ingredients: cucumber, carrot, chopped garlic
The peeler cuts the cucumber into slices, vertical strips, about 12 strips per cucumber. And then a little bit of salt and let it sit for about ten minutes, so it’s soft, it’s nice to roll, it’s nice to soak in the flavour.
Take a carrot, cut it in half lengthwise, then cut it into the shape shown, first cut not cut, second cut cut, one between the other, set as you like.

Stir-fry minced garlic until fragrant, add carrot slices, stir fry and add in Dutch beans, asparagus, fungus, lotus root, add seasoning, stir-fry until done and serve.
