Celery and Kidney Bean Ginkgo
1.
Dried white kidney beans are soaked in cold water overnight in advance to fully soak; frozen ripe ginkgo is thawed;
2.
Blanch the ginkgo with hot water for 1 minute, remove it and let it cool naturally;
3.
Put the white kidney beans in a hot water pot, simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat, pick up a bean and taste it. It can be easily bitten and has a waxy texture. Take it out and let it cool naturally;
4.
When cooking kidney beans, take care of other dishes: wash the celery stalks, I use ordinary celery, try to use the tenderer parts; peel and wash the carrots;
5.
Cut the celery into two pieces longitudinally, then change the knife to cut into pieces of uniform size, and cut the carrot into two pieces longitudinally and cut into slices diagonally. I cut a few flower knives on the periphery of the carrot, so the cut carrot slices resemble leaf shapes;
6.
Boil water in another pot, put the celery and carrot slices into the pot, cook for 30 seconds, the celery and carrots are all discolored and fish out. After two times of cold water, it can keep its crisp taste and bright color;
7.
Put the kidney beans, ginkgo, celery, and carrots that have been cooked and air-cooled into the basin, sprinkle salt and sesame oil according to the taste, and mix well before serving.
Tips:
1. This dish can not only be used as an appetizer to remove the fire, but also as a slimming dish for removing fat and oil. The kidney beans are rich in starch, which can replace part of the staple food;
2. The side dishes can be adjusted as you like, such as diced cucumber, dried tofu, etc.
