Rookie’s Cooking Notes

Yesterday afternoon, my mother was feeling lethargic. When her body temperature was 38.0, I quickly told her to rest. When I picked up my daughter and came back from get out of class, I saw that my husband had gone out to have a class reunion, my mother was lying on the bed, and the four people at the table in the living room, led by my father, were busy building the Great Wall. Okay, let me cook.

Putting on an apron and walking into the kitchen, I found that my mother still didn’t listen to me. While I was out picking up the children in the afternoon, she washed and prepared the rice cooker for the evening cooking. There is also heat coming out. Stir-fried a leek with a green bamboo shoot, boiled a cauliflower, and stir-fried shredded eel with an onion. My mother carefully cut the ginger and green onions and put them on the plate. Unconsciously, my heart felt hot, thinking that I am not confused at this age, the youngest. She is so favored that she doesn't usually go into the kitchen. My parents understand that I have two children and my work is not easy. They quietly take over a lot of work at home and outside the house. I will have to share more in the future.

Nannan saw me busy in the kitchen and felt strange, Mom, can you cook? how? In your eyes, does your mother only know how to wash dishes and cut fruit for salad? I said jokingly. No, no, no, Nannan waved her hands repeatedly, but rarely watched you cook. I laughed loudly and turned to cooking. When I was stir-frying the green bamboo shoots, my daughter asked her to do it, but she accidentally flipped a few bamboo shoots out of the pot. I then taught her how to do it, and the two of them looked at each other while holding the spatula. laugh. My younger brother often comes to the kitchen door to check. When he sees his elder sister cooking, he screams worriedly, be careful not to burn it!

I have never made this shredded onion eel before. I loudly asked my eldest sister in the kitchen how to stir-fry shredded onion eel. My daughter took my mobile phone and Baidu read the steps for making many kinds of onion eel. I agreed with my eldest sister. After one, bring it to me and do it. Thanks to the almighty Du Niang and the clever girl, my confidence has doubled! I followed the recipe from Baidu and carefully stir-fried shredded onions and eels. My daughter tried the leeks and green bamboo shoots beside her and nodded repeatedly. It was neither salty nor bland. It was so delicious! When I tasted it, I found it was a bit overcooked, the green bamboo shoots were not crisp and soft when eaten, and the cauliflower was a bit bland... To be honest, Nannan actually said, I just think it tastes delicious! Well, mom enjoys your good comments. Please remember to try your best next time!

Everyone was satisfied with the meal in the evening. The eldest brother-in-law said that after being married to his eldest sister for so many years, it was the first time he had eaten food cooked by his sister-in-law. It was a surprise that he could cook it well without burning the pot! Okay, I accept your neutral review, and I must keep up the good work and cook more for everyone!

My husband took my mother’s temperature this morning, and it was 37.8. She feels much better, and I feel much more at ease. When I got home from get off work, I found that my mother was busy in the kitchen again. She quickly grabbed the apron and started cooking. Dad, who was drinking peanuts in the living room, said, "Today's green bamboo shoots can't be braised so bad anymore... Haha, it turns out that this old comrade is also having a hard time holding back negative reviews!"

Okay, okay, I promise to improve today! I responded while driving my mother out of the kitchen. The old comrade is good at making up for it. The fried snails in sauce is the time to test your cooking skills. Don't overcook it, you won't be able to instigate anyone! While the wild rice cabbage was stewing in a pot, I humbly asked my mother how to make fried snails in sauce. My mother was generous with her advice and explained it in detail. I listened to my ears and remembered it in my heart. When the sauce-fried snails come out of the pot and are put on a plate, pick one up and taste it, and the meat of the snails will come out, yay! Success! When I was excited, I realized that I forgot to sprinkle the chopped green onions, so I quickly grabbed the chopped green onions and put them on the plate and mixed them with chopsticks. The color of the chopped green onions changed due to the temperature just out of the pot. When it was brought to the table, the highly myopic old comrade didn't notice the strangeness of the chopped green onions. He picked up a snail and gave it a try. The snail meat jumped into his mouth obediently. He nodded, indicating that I had passed the test.

Nannan was curious about when I learned to cook. I told her that I actually lived in a dormitory when I was single, living together with Juan and other little sisters, and everyone took turns cooking. At that time, everyone started from scratch, and were not picky or careless. They had to cook the food first, and then pursue the flavor. Gradually, we also learned to stuff the dough with gluten and chop the stuffing ourselves. The process of seasoning was very enjoyable, and the happy moment of sitting around and tasting it together settled in our hearts. Listening to my narration, my father lost no time in supplementing his education. Sister, I heard that you must learn to cook some home-cooked meals at any time. No matter where you go, you must not let yourself go hungry. Nannan nodded repeatedly, and her convinced look impressed the old comrade very much. She picked up the wine glass and took a sizzling sip of wine.

The empty plate after dinner makes me very motivated. Cooking for a newbie is not just a whim. I will persevere and strive for further progress!
