Peony and Yancai

1. Cut fresh white radish into thin strips. If the knife is not good, you can use a shredder, but the shredded radish must be as thin as possible. The product made in this way looks like a swallow.

2. After cutting into thin shreds, put them into cold water to remove the odor of the radish.

After about ten minutes, remove the shredded radish and control or squeeze out the moisture. This way, the powder sticking effect will be better.

4. Be sure to sprinkle mung bean starch evenly, as other starches may result in poor results.

5. This is shredded radish soaked in mung bean starch

6. Steam over high heat for about 6 minutes.

7. After steaming, the shredded radish should be immediately rinsed in cold water to make it crystal clear and more like oatmeal.

8. Does this look very similar to bird's nest, and the taste is also very similar! Do more and put it in the refrigerator to freeze. The longer it freezes, the better the effect.

9. All kinds of shredded vegetables are ready, because my family loves to be vegetarian, so I'm a vegetarian. The real peony and swallows have shredded squid, shredded sea cucumber, and shredded beef, and the soup is sour, spicy, and delicious.

10. Thaw the frozen shredded radish, control the moisture, and then start laying the plate. This is a steamed dish.

11. Finally, cut the egg skin into a fan shape, fold it and place it in the shape of a peony flower. Cut some shredded carrots in the middle as stamens.

12. The prepared dishes should be steamed over high heat for about 8 minutes. Don't wait too long, otherwise the taste of the shredded radish will be bad. At the same time, start another pot to make the soup that needs to be poured on the vegetables.

After cooking, sprinkle some coriander foam around the vegetables to enhance their aroma. Because I didn't take the time to take pictures of the sauce, I omitted it here. And the sauce is bone soup (which can also be replaced with water), an appropriate amount of vinegar and a large amount of pepper, added with chicken essence and salt, to make your favorite sour and spicy taste. No need to thicken it, pour it directly on the vegetables that have just come out of the steamer, and sprinkle some sesame oil. It is sour, spicy, and fragrant, with a rich aroma. Very appetizing!

Many people, without understanding this dish, do not know that they are eating shredded radish and think it is bird's nest!

15. Complete in color, aroma, and taste! As long as you want to do it, you can do it too!
