“The black rice has the effect of hair growth and is also one of the mixed grains. It’s not easy to gain weight after eating this dish. While losing weight, it can also treat one’s hair problems. It’s akin to killing two birds with one stone.”
After the two dishes were cooked together and some coconut juice and shredded mandarin skin were added, the fragrance of the porridge instantly became stronger.
The second weight loss meal she prepared was fresh bamboo shoots and konjac noodles. Konjac had a very obvious satiation effect like mixed grain. Baby corn and bamboo shoots had a relatively low heat. It was supplemented with a rhubarb and licorice concoction. It could help one with weight loss and increase immunity.
At the end of the meal, there was also celery and fruit juice. She used celery, tomatoes, and grapefruit and blended them together. She only needed to add some sugar or honey.
As soon as the vegetable juice came out, a different reaction appeared. There were many people who liked it but there were also those who didn’t.
[This vegetable juice is a little awful. It tastes a little like nutrient shakes. It’s not my favorite flavor.]
[I think it’s not bad. It’s refreshing and light. If it’s summer, I can ice it a little. I feel like I can drink a big cup at once.]
Su Yayan wasn’t too bothered by this. There were differences in taste preference, especially with the addition of celery. Some people really didn’t like this taste.
Su Yayan cooked a portion of the soup and porridge. She then began to stir-fry the vegetables. The first dish was braised pork trotters.
The pork trotters contained a rich amount of collagen. Eating more of it could make the skin turn white and smooth. It could also help remove the traces of acne left behind by pimples.
Before this, Su Yayan had already treated the pork trotter and blanched it before marinating it for half an hour with soy sauce and wine. It would be ready to be cooked.
The soup and congee in front of her were all slow stews. She had to cook them slowly to get the fragrance out.
However, this dish was different. As soon as it was placed in the pot, a fragrant smell wafted out. When seasonings such as star anise and cinnamon were added, it was as fragrant as the previous braised food. Once it came out of the pot, it immediately caused a heated discussion.
[I’ve seen pork trotters before at a high-class restaurant. They are usually used for stewing soup. My mother ordered it once. Out of curiosity, I took a bite and felt that the taste was a little too strong. Also, I felt that this thing wasn’t very clean and didn’t like it very much. However, the host’s pork trotters are really amazing. Not only did they not have that awful smell, but they are also very special. They taste good. I feel that with this, I can eat a lot of white rice!]
[The taste of this pork trotter was similar to the braised food that the host had made before, but it is very special, especially the juice inside. It would definitely be very delicious if it was used to mix noodles and rice! Sob sob sob, I had worked overtime and didn’t eat dinner. Now that I’m watching this, I can only salivate in hunger.]
Apart from the braised pork trotters, Su Yayan also made Poria tofu and stir-fried papaya with celery. By then, the soup was almost done.
Su Yayan used the last bit of time she had to make two desserts after dinner. One was rock candy papaya and the other was steamed lily with pumpkin.
Rock candy papaya was quite simple. She just needed to add water and steam it with rock sugar. As for steamed lilies, she had to first cut the pumpkin into a hollowed-out pumpkin bowl and then put the rock sugar mixed lilies into the pumpkin bowl to stew them.
When Su Yayan was making the pumpkin bowl, she did not peel off all its outer skin. Instead, she carved a complicated and beautiful pattern on it, making the ordinary pumpkin bowl stand out.
The steamed pumpkins were soft and tender. Coupled with the refreshing lilies, they were really beautiful and delicious. They immediately captured the hearts of many girls..
