Bean curd, mushroom, dried squid porridge

1

Do you know what this is? In my hometown, it is called Xiangqian Tofu Granules. It is a crispy and fragrant taste. It is often used as an ingredient when cooking Xiangzhou. It tastes very good and can be regarded as a local specialty. My mother just delivered this to me from my hometown last week. I remember at home, my mother would like to put it in every time she cooked fragrant porridge, adding a unique flavor to the fragrant porridge. Now I think about it, I'm greedy...

2

Soak dried mushrooms 1 hour in advance;(just wash fresh mushrooms)

3

Soak dried squid in cold water in advance;

4

Remove the cartilage from the soaked squid, as shown in the picture; then wash the squid;(It is difficult to remove the dried squid before it is soaked)

5

This time, the squid does not need a cut knife. Just cut the squid into three large pieces and then cut them into strips. The squid must be cut into sections, as shown in the picture;(This way, the squid will be crispy and fragrant)

6

Put the washed rice in a casserole and add appropriate amount of water to boil the porridge. Be sure to use strong fire to make the porridge boil quickly, and then slowly boil it with slow fire to make it erosion, soft, and taste sweet and palatable;

7

During the porridge boiling process, wash the parsley and dice it; cut the mushrooms into cubes; cut the ginger into bits and put it in the porridge to cook together;

8

Heat the pan and heat the oil, put the squid in and fry until the squid rolls are fragrant. Add some refined salt and fry until the squid is fragrant. This way, the squid will taste crispy and fragrant;(This process actually only takes a few seconds. The squid should not be fried for too long. You can turn off the heat when it is rolled up, otherwise it will be too old and hard)

9

If there is not enough oil in the pan, add some cooking oil as appropriate, heat the oil in the pan, add the mushrooms in and saute them until fragrant, add some refined salt and saute them until fragrant;

10

When the porridge is cooked to 6 minutes, change the heat to the high heat, put the fried mushrooms in first and cook them. After boiling, change the heat to a low heat for about 15 minutes to fully dissolve the taste of the mushrooms in the porridge;

11

When the porridge is cooked, change it to high heat, add some refined salt, and put the fried squid in and cook for less than a minute;(Don't cook it for too long, lest the squid become hard when it is cooked too old and will affect the taste)

12

Then add the fragrant tofu grains and stir well;(Do not cook the fragrant tofu grains for too long to avoid being too soft and affecting the taste)

13

Then add parsley grains to taste;

14

Stir in chicken essence and pepper;

15

Finally, add the winter vegetables, stir well, season and turn off the heat. (Winter vegetables should not be cooked for too long to avoid becoming sour and affecting the taste)

16

The taste of this porridge is very delicious. Mushrooms and fragrant tofu grains play a role in aroma. Combined with the umami taste of dried squid, it can be said to be delicious. This porridge is made in my hometown. When the rice is cooked, it is still made one grain. It is not like the porridge in the north, where the rice is cooked very mushy and rotten. (I made this porridge thicker, because last time there was a fragrant porridge that was thinner. Some friends said that they couldn't see the porridge, hehe ~ so I made it show it this time)

[Jing Kitchen's Warm Tips]: 1. Spiced tofu cubes and preserved vegetables naturally have a savory and salty flavor, so add refined salt in moderation; do not add too much, otherwise the porridge will become saltier as you eat it; 2. Cooking tofu with spinach and scallions produces calcium oxalate, which is difficult for the body to absorb and easily leads to stones, which is detrimental to health; 3. Porridge is best eaten warm; do not drink cold porridge, as this is both tasty and healthy; 4. Squid contains high cholesterol, so people with cardiovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, arteriosclerosis, and liver diseases should consume it with caution; squid is a trigger food, and people suffering from eczema, hives, and other conditions should avoid eating it; 5. High-quality dried squid is dry, firm, has thick flesh, is a bright pale pink, and has a slight layer of white frost on the surface. Note: As the ancients said: "Eating ginger in the morning is better than drinking ginseng soup; eating ginger at night is equivalent to eating arsenic."
