Time flies so fast, the Spring Festival seems to be still yesterday, and the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. Every year I feel that the Double Ninth Festival has passed, and the year is coming to an end. This year is no exception. Wednesday, October 21, 2015 [the ninth day of the ninth lunar month]; a very suitable day for autumn, the Double Ninth Festival, children usually go home to accompany their parents to fulfill their filial piety. The filial piety of "Parents are not far away" runs through the ancient motto. Filial piety is a product of ancient social history, and certain norms of filial behavior stipulated by traditional concepts. It cannot be regarded as the shackles that the ancient saints came up with specifically to restrict the children of the family. When returning home on National Day, the parents have been looking forward to it at the door of the house, and there are already hot meals on the table for my brother and me. I have mixed feelings after eating the food my mother cooked. I don't remember when I cooked for my parents, but my parents' happy smiles are still fresh in my memory. If you have the opportunity to do it yourself, prepare three meals for your parents. Today’s original soup with shrimp and tofu is a dish for parents to preheat the Double Ninth Festival. The warm old hen soup is rich in nutrients; parents’ teeth are not good, and tofu , Shrimp melts in the mouth, let them eat smoothly, eat sweetly, enjoy health, and live longer! I also wish the elderly in every household a happy Double Ninth Festival, happiness and health~

Shrimp and Tofu Chicken Soup

1. Fresh shrimp

2. 1 piece of soft tofu

3. Prepare 1 ginger

4. 1 shallot

5. 1 fresh old hen, boil water and blanch the old hen

6. Put the blanched old hen in the pot, add sliced ginger and a small green onion

7. Bring to a boil, turn to low heat and simmer for about three hours. Adjust according to your own taste. Add 3 tablespoons of salt to taste

8. Take out the simmered old hen, let it cool and tear it into silk for later use

9. Remove the shrimp head and shell and pick the clear shrimp line. For Q, you can save one third of the shrimp and finely dice, and chop the rest into shrimp paste

10. Add starch, the starch and shrimp are about the same, otherwise the shrimp meat will be boiled! Salt, cooking wine, green onion ginger, egg white. Use chopsticks to whip clockwise; take an egg to make the egg white continue to beat the prawns to become fluffy and firm. The shrimps don't need to be too crumbled, otherwise they won't have a smooth texture! Put the prepared prawns in the refrigerator for more than 30 minutes. This way the meat is firmer and tastes better

11. Put the simmered old hen broth in the pot, put the shredded chicken into a boil. Tofu cubes after immersing in blanching water

12. Take out the chilled shrimp slips from the refrigerator, dip the spoon with hot water first, dig out the shrimp slips of even size and put them into boiling water. Cook until the pink balls float

13. Add appropriate amount of salt and pepper to taste [if there is no chicken broth, you need to add light soy sauce to taste]

14. Sprinkle chopped green onions. The cooked prawns are delicate and crispy, with a smooth and sticky taste, and maintain the nutrients of the shrimps. The thick original chicken soup with prawns is delicious; the aftertaste is endless.
