[preserved Egg Platter] Deep Love in The Lotus Pond
1.
Preparation before placing the plate: first wash all the ingredients and cut them, remove the shells and wash the preserved eggs, scald them with boiling water to remove the dirty gas, then heat the half-cooked oil in the pan, add dried red peppers and ginger and stir fry It is golden brown and fragrant. Add the sliced lotus root and stir fry for a while. If you like hot and sour, you can add white vinegar or balsamic vinegar and pepper. If you don't like hot and sour, you can add a little light soy sauce. Stir-fry for a few seconds, wait until it is out of the pan, sprinkle in an appropriate amount of salt and chopped green onion, and then set aside. I put white vinegar here in order to make it look good.

Everything is ready, start to set the plate. Choose a plate of the lotus root in the cooking pot and place it in a suitable position to make lotus root leaves

Let me first teach you a technique for cutting preserved eggs without sticking a knife: Dip both sides of the knife in water, so that the preserved eggs cut below will not stick to the knife. Every time you cut it feels a little sticky, just wet the knife in the water. Of course, you can also It is possible to cut preserved eggs with thin threads, but we are arranging the plate today. Some parts of preserved eggs are very thin and require skill, so thin threads cannot be used here. Then cut two of the preserved eggs vertically from two-thirds to make two goldfish bodies. (If you cut them in half, they will be very large and you need to add a preserved egg to use.) Take the remaining preserved eggs It can be cut from one-half of the place, and then lying upright and cut open for the tail, and cut into two thin slices, then use a straw to press out four goldfish eyes and cut out the fins on both sides of the goldfish, and cut the remaining leftovers. It is best to use the tip of the knife to cut the preserved egg with the tip of the knife, so that you can cut and draw a curved line, and the made water weed will not feel blunt.

Whether the arrangement is good or not, let’s look at your real skill in the arrangement. According to the shape of the goldfish, the water plants and the underwater stones, choose the position on the plate and start placing the preserved preserved eggs.

Cut the red apple in half, cut it vertically, and put the lotus on the plate.
6.
Cut the cucumber into a wide strip of skin diagonally, use a utility knife to carve out the shape of the lotus, and then put a few black sesame seeds on the warp rod under the lotus to embellish an interesting picture through the ingredients.
Tips:
1. In addition to stir-frying, you can also choose to blanch the lotus root and then marinate it in cold dressing. Choose what you like
2. Dip the knife with water on both sides of the preserved egg, so that the preserved egg will not stick to the knife when you cut the preserved egg below. If it feels a little sticky every time you cut, just damp the knife in the water. Of course, if you usually cut preserved eggs, you can still use thinner. We cut the preserved eggs by wire, but we put them on the plate today. Some parts of the preserved eggs are cut very thin and require skill, so the thin thread cannot be used here.
3. Pay attention to the clever combination of ingredients in the picture
4. Cutting the tails of preserved eggs and water weeds may become a major difficulty for novices. Pay attention to practice finding skills by yourself.
