How to use cauliflower to make sauce

Have you ever eaten the flowers of this common dish made into sauce?

Sauce is a dip that we often eat in our daily diet. Especially hot pot and barbecue, a bowl of fragrant sauce is the soul of taste. Even if the taste is dull, it will improve several grades because of its mellow fragrance! There are many kinds of sauces on the market now, and their tastes are also very rich. But among the sauces I have eaten, the one that impressed me the most, and my favorite since childhood, is the sauce made by my grandmother herself. It's grandma's sauce made of coriander, the flower of this common dish. Its fragrance is very rich. Have you eaten?

Coriander is very common. As we all know, its taste and fragrance are unique, and it is often used as a side dish to enhance the taste of dishes. But its flowers are rarely used in our daily cooking. Today, I will share with you the charm of coriander flowers. The flowers of coriander are not only beautiful, but also more fragrant than the leaves of coriander. Every summer at this time, the coriander in grandma's yard will produce a big, white and beautiful flower. People can feel the unique fragrance of coriander without going near it. Then grandma and I will pick some coriander flowers and make a rich coriander flower sauce. Use it to mix cold noodles in summer, not to mention how delicious it is! So delicious that you don't want it! Next, I will take you to taste the coriander flower sauce!

Coriander flower sauce

Ingredients: 50g of coriander flower (containing a little fragrant leaves), 2g of salt, 5g of shrimp sauce (or shrimp oil), 3g of sesame oil and 2g of soy sauce. 5 grams of cooked white sesame seeds.

The flowers of coriander are not large and the amount is small, so when it is used to make sauce, it will contain a little coriander leaves. In addition, if shrimp sauce is not easy to buy, shrimp oil can also be used instead, but it is best to choose shrimp sauce, which is more delicious. Because I didn't pick many coriander flowers today, I used less ingredients. Just remember that this ratio is the ratio when grandma makes coriander flower sauce. The sauce made according to this ratio tastes better. For your reference.

Production steps

1. First, clean the collected coriander flowers and soak them in salt water for about 30 minutes. This will not only make the coriander flower tasty, but also dehydrate it, which will make it easier to mash later.

2. Mash the soaked coriander flowers with a wooden mortar or a stone mortar. It is best to choose a stone mortar, which can mash coriander flowers faster. I used a wooden mortar today, because there is no stone mortar like my grandmother's at home. So in order to save time, I cut some parsley flowers with a knife and mashed them with a wooden mortar. I feel that the taste is not much different, but I still feel that it is better to pound it with a stone mortar. I don't know if it's my psychological reason. Choose according to your personal situation!

3. Mash the coriander flowers in a wooden mortar, add other seasonings in the ingredients in the wooden mortar, mash them together into a sauce, and mash the cooked white sesame seeds as much as possible, so that the fragrance is more intense.

Recommended eating method

I recommend two ways to eat this coriander flower sauce.

The first way to eat: 90-year-old grandmother's favorite, coriander flower sauce mixed with tofu. Tofu mixed with this coriander flower sauce tastes particularly delicious. It's worth a try. In addition, when eating this kind of coriander flower sauce, it is not advisable to add vinegar, because the sour taste of vinegar will cover up some of its fresh fragrance. This way, the flavor of coriander flower sauce will not stand out.

The second way to eat: it is my favorite way to eat, and it is also very suitable for summer, that is, to mix cold noodles with it. If you mix some fried diced meat or Chili oil, it will taste better! This summer, you might as well try this cold noodle with cauliflower sauce. Maybe you'll like the taste!
