Ingredients

Peony Jelly

1. Cut the fresh large white radish into thin filaments. If the knife is not good, you can use a grater, but the radish must be as thin as possible. It looks like agar-agar.

2. After cutting into filaments, put it in cold water to remove the peculiar smell of the radish.

3. After about ten minutes, remove the shredded radish and control or squeeze the water. This will stick to the powder for a while.

4. Be sure to sprinkle mung bean starch evenly, other starches will produce poor results.

5. This is shredded radish covered with mung bean starch

6. Put the pot on high heat and steam for about 6 minutes.

7. The steamed radish shreds should be rinsed in cold water immediately, so as to make the radish shreds crystal clear and more like agar-agar.

8. Is it very similar to bird's nest, and the taste is very similar! Make more and freeze it in the refrigerator. The longer it freezes, the better the effect.

9. All kinds of vegetable shreds are ready, because my family likes to be vegetarian, so some are vegetarian. The real peony agar-agar has shredded squid, sea cucumber, and beef. The soup is hot and sour.

10. The frozen shredded radish is thawed, and the moisture is controlled dry, and you can start to plate it. This is a steamed dish.

11. Finally, cut the egg skin into a fan shape and fold it into a peony flower shape. Cut some carrots into the center as stamens.

12. The dishes on the plate should be steamed on a high fire, about 8 minutes. Don't take too long, otherwise the taste of shredded radish will be bad. At the same time, start another pot to make the soup to be poured on the dishes.

13. Sprinkle some coriander froth around the dishes after they are out of the pot to make them more fragrant. Because I didn't take care of the pictures of making the juice, so omitted here. The sauce is bone broth (you can also replace it with water), appropriate amount of vinegar and a lot of pepper, add chicken essence, salt, and adjust to your favorite hot and sour taste, without thickening, just pour it on the vegetables just out of the steamer , And sprinkle some sesame oil. It is hot and sour, and the aroma is overflowing. Very appetite!

14. Many people don’t know that they eat shredded radish, but think it is bird’s nest!

15. The color, fragrance and taste! As long as you want to do it, you can too!

Tips:
Remember to use mung bean starch to make it look similar and there will be no other peculiar smell! The sour appetizer is perfect for winter! More suitable for the Spring Festival!
