Chapter 411: Fried Ground Vegetables with Green Peppers
Chapter 411: Fried Ground Vegetables with Green Peppers
When the two little ones came closer, they rolled up their sleeves and helped Li Heng wash the ground vegetables.
"No, no, no, I appreciate your kindness!"
"If you really want to help me, why not help me cut the side dishes for later."
Li Heng quickly stopped the two little ones and assigned them other tasks.
Even Li Heng himself was very careful when handling this basin of ground vegetables and he didn't dare to leave it to the two little ones to eat.
"Okay! Let's do it right away."
The two little ones didn't think too much about it. They readily agreed to Li Heng's request and jumped up and down to work on the stove nearby.
This dish doesn't require much seasoning, just some chopped green peppers, chopped green onions and minced ginger.
Soon, after Li Heng washed the ground vegetables twice, he finally met his requirements.
During this time, more people came into the kitchen one after another.
Since Jiang Mei had already given instructions in advance to the other disciples of the Lingzhi Sect, the people present, except for her, the sect leader, were all those brought by Li Heng.
The arrival of these people did not disturb Li Heng.
After cleaning the ground ivy, it needs to be blanched before frying it in the pan.
Boil water in a pot, add a spoonful of salt and a few drops of cooking oil, and after the water boils, pour in the cleaned ground vegetables.
Blanch it for 30 seconds to remove the oxalic acid and some other impurities, while retaining the color of the ground ivy.
Note that this time cannot be too long, otherwise it will affect the taste.
After blanching, remove from water quickly.
Rinse it with cold water again. This step can allow the ground vegetable to maintain its original crisp taste.
Then take out the ground vegetable again and squeeze out the water on its surface with your hands.
Li Heng had completed all the preparations and had asked the two kids to cut almost all the ingredients.
Now it’s time to start cooking.
First, heat the pan and pour in a little cooking oil.
When the oil is heated, add two small chopped onions and minced ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.
Then pour in the chopped green pepper and stir-fry until it becomes spicy. Then add the ground vegetable and stir-fry over high heat for ten breaths.
Because this dish is eaten in its original flavor, you only need to adjust the taste simply by adding an appropriate amount of salt and a little MSG.
As usual, MSG is replaced by goblin.
Under Jiang Mei's surprised gaze, Li Heng called the goblin, grabbed the leaves on its head, put it into the pot, and swirled it twice.
"Hehehe~ So this is the little guy's unique way of using it!"
Jiang Mei never expected that the method of using the goblins would be so simple and crude, completely different from what she thought.
After Li Heng finished using the goblin, he threw it aside.
With a "snap" sound, it returned to the top of the deer's small head.
"You little brat, you really have no manners at all. After using me, you don't even know how to say thank you?"
The goblin stood up, shook off the non-existent moisture, and started to make small talk.
"Politeness? Can that thing be eaten as food? How about I give you a courtesy, and you won't have to eat for a while?"
Li Heng kept moving his hands and spoke to the goblin without turning his head.
"No! You might as well just kill me!"
"I was wrong! Can't I just shut up?"
When the goblin heard Li Heng say that he would not let it eat, it immediately gave in. Why was it willing to follow Li Heng?
It’s just for this bite of food.
The goblin simply used his whiskers to wrap his mouth and stopped talking to Li Heng.
"Tsk! Goblin, you're a coward!"
Danning sneered from the side. He has always been brooding over the goblin's molestation of Junior Sister Xue'er, and would say something back at it whenever he got the chance.
"Now I'm a little curious, what does this little thing taste like?"
Jiang Mei became more and more interested in the goblin. She stared at the goblin's white and fat body with her eyes shining.
"Gudu~"
She licked her lips excitedly, swallowed her uncontrollable saliva, and got closer and closer to Lu Xiaoxiao's head.
"Just a small taste, it should be okay, right?"
Sure enough, the world of foodies is connected, because before this, Li Heng and the two little ones had the same idea.
The two kids not only thought so, they actually did it.
If the goblin hadn't relied on his thick skin and flesh, he would have been eaten by the two little ones long ago, and finally turned into fertilizer for other spiritual plants.
"You you you...what do you want to do?"
Jiang Mei's whisper quickly aroused the goblin's vigilance.
It wonders if these humans all have a serious disease. Why do they want to taste it as soon as they see it? What does it taste like?
"Don't come over here! I'm warning you, I also know Kung Fu, be careful or I'll beat you up!"
In a panic, the goblin used his beard to roll up two bunches of the deer's tiny hair.
He used it as a weapon and waved it at Jiang Mei a few times, trying to scare her away.
Would Jiang Mei be frightened by a blade of grass? Of course not.
"I advise you not to struggle, just let me take a bite, hehehe..."
Jiang Mei continued to approach the goblin with a sly smile on her face, rubbing her hands back and forth, pretending to be impatient.
"You look pretty, girl, but why are you so cruel? You want to eat people at every turn?"
No matter what the goblin said, Jiang Mei showed no intention of stopping.
"Woo woo~ I really don't taste good, please let me go!"
The goblin is almost scared to tears. The world outside is still too dangerous. Why not go back to the mountains?
"Li Heng, you're not going to take care of her? I've already joined Xiaochu Peak, and I'm considered your disciple. As the peak master, you have to protect my people, ugh, my own safety!"
Seeing that Jiang Mei had extended his evil hand towards it, the goblin had no choice but to place his last hope on Li Heng.
"Sister Jiang, please stop teasing it. You might scare it to death."
Li Heng was busy cooking and originally had no intention of intervening between them.
But then he thought, even though the two little ones couldn't do anything to the goblins, it didn't mean Jiang Mei couldn't do it either.
What if this goblin is not strong enough to bite Jiang Mei, and then he gets so angry that he doesn't want to follow him anymore? That would be a big loss.
In addition, Li Heng was not sure whether Jiang Mei was teasing the goblin or really wanted to bite him, so he stopped her before she succeeded.
"You little brat, you keep calling me 'great master'. I thought you were so powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so timid!"
Since Li Heng had spoken, Jiang Mei had no choice but to retract her arm, and teased the goblin at the same time.
Li Heng shook his head and ignored everyone else because the food in the pot was almost ready.
With his continuous stir-frying, the aroma of the ground ivy has been stimulated.
Before serving, Li Heng added a little water into the pot.
This will help to better dissolve the seasoning and allow it to fully blend with the dish.
After continuing to stir-fry for four or five times, the stir-fried ground greens with green peppers are ready.
This dish would be good with rice!
