Moon cake moon, always make people gnash their teeth! It is always inevitable to send moon cakes to see and look a bit tired, let alone eat them!

Mooncakes are hot and humid, and eating more is bad for your health, especially for people with spleen deficiency and dampness, damp-heat physique, gluttony mooncakes can cause severe symptoms of dampness and heat.

Tired of mooncakes, you probably lose your appetite when you see big fish and meat, so let's have a sweet and sour appetizer dish---sweet and sour pork ribs!

This dish was originally a Shanghai dish, but it was modified by me according to my personal taste. Vegetarians are definitely suitable.

There are many explanations on the edible value of lotus roots on the Internet, so I won’t say much, but it must be said that the value of lotus roots is not as magical as the effects mentioned on the Internet, but the edible fiber is quite rich, so eat more in moderation. Point is also beneficial, especially after some oiliness, we need more fiber to help our body detoxify. Such a sweet and sour material is not suitable for it, ha! "

Ingredients

one period Lotus Root
2 pieces You Tiao
piece Tofu
2 pcs Egg
About 4 tablespoons Ketchup
Corn flour 120G Cornflour
150ML Water
A tablespoon Sugar
a little Salt

Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

1. Split the fried dough sticks in half and cut them into moderately sized sections, about 3cm long.

2. Wash the lotus root and cut it into a rectangular parallelepiped shape of the ribs, which is slightly longer than the length of the fried dough sticks.

3. Cut the tofu into small particles.

4. Boil water in a pot, put the sliced lotus root in boiling water and blanch for about 3 minutes, then remove and drain.

5. Peel the tomatoes and cut into small pieces.

6. Take an appropriate amount of tomato paste, use the soup spoon, about 4-5 tablespoons (adjust according to your own taste)

7. Take 20G cornstarch, mix with water and stir evenly, pour it into tomato sauce, add sugar and stir well.

8. Take a section of fried dough stick and poke the inside with chopsticks.

9. Stuff a lotus root into the dough stick.

10. In the fried dough sticks with lotus roots, fill the gaps inside with a suitable amount of tofu (less attention span, too much force will break the fried dough sticks).

11. Put the ribs that have completed the above steps into the beaten egg liquid and soak in pressure to absorb the right amount of egg liquid.

12. Put the ribs from step 11 into the corn starch and roll with a thin layer of corn starch.

13. Boil the oil in the pot, put the chopsticks into bubbling, and then deep-fry the ribs in the pot until golden brown, pick up and drain the oil.

14. Boil a little oil in another pot, put the tomatoes in the pot, add a little salt and fry for a while, pour in the ribs of step 13, then pour in the tomato sauce of cornflour water, cook until the juice is thick and turn off the heat On the dish.

Tips:
Dip cornstarch directly before frying, instead of mixing cornstarch with water to make a batter and then dip it. The main reason is that you don’t want the pork ribs to become too big after being fried so that you can’t see the orange-red and orange-red “meat”. Fried pork ribs with batter will look fake~~~ But if it’s vegetarian and you don’t even eat eggs, then you can mix cornflour into batter, dip the batter and add some bread crumbs to fry it without the egg mixture. Right!

In addition, the tomato sauce I bought is sour, so I didn't add white vinegar. If you like to eat sour TX, you can add a small spoonful of white vinegar!
