Asparagus Scrambled Boiled Eggs
1.
Although asparagus is delicious, it is not easy to choose it. It must be fresh and tender, which is a problem for novice housewives. Asparagus is more delicate, and you have to eat it when you buy it, otherwise it will lose its texture and it will not be crispy.
The leaf sheath of the perfect asparagus head is tight, with no opening at the top, no dry feeling, and no blackening. The core part of asparagus is in the middle. If conditions permit, choose asparagus as thick as possible. If the leaf sheath is a regular triangle, it means that the water is still sufficient.
2.
Cut the asparagus into diagonal sections and set aside.
3.
Boil the eggs first, soak them in cold water for a while, remove the shells and prepare them in advance. I usually cook a few more for breakfast.
4.
After the boiled egg is cut in half, each portion is cut into quarters. Cut the egg whites into small pieces to make it more flavorful, and it doesn’t matter if the yolk is loose.
5.
Boil a pot of water and add a little.
6.
Add enough water and a little salt to the boiling pot, and then add a few drops of cooking oil to the pot. After the high heat boils to a full boil, continue to maintain the high heat, then pour the asparagus and blanch until it is broken.
The method of blanching asparagus seems simple, but there are two precautions that must not be ignored. One is to boil the water in the pot to a full boil before pouring the asparagus, and the other is to add a little salt to the pot. With a few drops of cooking oil, they will keep the asparagus beautifully emerald green.
Adding some salt when blanching vegetables can also reduce the loss of nutrients, because salt can slow down the loss of nutrients in vegetables, and at the same time, it can also make the vegetables add a bit of flavor in advance, so that the processed asparagus will be better when fried .
7.
Heat the oil pan to 50% heat, and sauté the minced garlic.
8.
Pour the processed asparagus into the pot and stir-fry on high heat so that the asparagus is evenly coated with grease.
9.
Pour the egg slices into the asparagus and stir fry together for a few times. The eggs and asparagus are cooked, so just mix well and don't need to fry for a long time to keep the asparagus refreshing.
10.
Pour in light soy sauce, add salt as appropriate, and mix well.
11.
Finally, pour in a little water and stir until the water is slightly dry and the egg yolk is evenly coated on the asparagus. If the taste is heavier, the boiled egg can be replaced with salty and light yellow, and it will be more delicious when it is fried, but the salt content of salted egg yolk is relatively high, which is not conducive to weight loss.
Tips:
70% of the asparagus is water. The roots of the purchased asparagus can be soaked in water for a period of time to make it "drink" full; if it is too late to eat that day, you can also soak the roots in water like a flower arrangement, it will be very hard. It’s very absorbent, just add 5~10 cm of water that hasn’t reached the roots.
Usually the asparagus sold on the market will bring the roots. It has the effect of reducing the loss of asparagus juice and can extend the preservation time. When eating, cut off the bottom directly.
All ingredients with high oxalic acid content should be blanched first when cooking. No matter which cooking method is used, it is best to blanch them first.
The asparagus is blanched and then cooked, which can shorten the heating time during the cooking process, thereby reducing the loss of heat-labile nutrients such as vitamins, and the resulting dishes will have a bright color and crisp texture.
