Enjoyable DIY
Hot 3 |
Now it is green everywhere. At this vivid and vibrant season, everything is new and fresh. As the temperature goes up, it is getting warmer.
I ran into a sentence today and had it translated to be the English version: "Spring is a lover with whom we can remind of the other three seasons, summer, autumn and winter. The change of seasons make the long time waiting meaningful and the love of life everlasting." Exactly, it is the beginning of a year.
All of these bring us the hope of becoming better and striving for a nicer future. What I remember is this the season of tea-picking. It will the harvest of tea soon if it keeps warm within less than weeks. Right, the green tea.
When it comes to the tea, there is a dish called Shrimps with Dragon Well Tea. It is famous and the one which becomes very popular that almost every tourist orders it when he or she comes to the West Lake. Mostly, what we have is not authentic. You can probably figure that so many people are coming out here everyday, how could it be so possible to cook such a delicate dish to cater for everyone in time.
It is the dish with top class river shrimps and first class qualified Dragon Well Tea.
The meat of shrimps is shelled and then the meat is being washed and cleaned by water and finally to be set to dry out the water. After than the meat is to put with egg white and pepper salt, plus with little spice. Then use the chopsticks to stir the mixture of meat till it is welled stirred and sticky. When it is done, add some dry starch to stir again till it is starching.
The second step is to take around fifty grams of green tea. It is to be made from hot water(But not too hot to break the nutrition of tea). After that, keep the filter of tea juice and just few tea leaves for the next procedure.
The third step is to process the shrimps meat. Pour the oil over the pan well and heat it. When the oil is boiled to be at its half of its boiling point, put the meat to the pan. Use the chopsticks to spread and turn over the meat quickly. About fifteen to twenty minutes later, take the meat back to the strainer to remove the oil. The pan is kept with little boiled oil, and then put back the shrimps meat again by adding few tea leaves and tea juice and also some little local cooking wine, salt and spice. After stirring about several times, load the cooked meat into the dish. Done.
Very palatable and appetitive. The slight scent of tea fragrance manifests over the room, and the yummy shrimps meat make everyone who sees can't help swallowing saliva. By drinking of tea, admiring the elegance of figures of outlines of grass and trees outside is quite amazing.
What a life. DIY by yourself could be another wonderful experience you never expect yet.

- Nice translation. Indeed Spring does seems to be a lover which reminds us of the other three seasons and the wait for the Spring is certainly worthwhile. We should enjoy this wonderful Spring season.
As for Dragon Well Tea, I love this flavor of Chinese Tea, but my friends say it is not desirable for men as it may affect the reproduction system. Well, I have been drinking it for years, so I guess it is fine.
I saw that dish Shrimp in Lung Tseng Tea at a nearby Shanghai restaurant. I did not order that because it seemed strange to mix tea with Shrimp, but according to your recommendation, it seems quite nice. Next time I would surely try that dish.

As the words from your friends, I am keeping doubting about them. Tea is a good drink. Green tea is quite popular. Here we drink almost everyday. At some time I do not have that due to busy work. While I am free, I make some. My father views tea his best drink and he drinks everyday. One thing we can be sure, everything goes to the extreme opposite side if it is overdone. Thus, I suggest that people who like tea can have it on regular basis. Needn't to be drinking everyday, just feel ok when there is the time to enjoy it which is enough. Of course, those who are not well with their stomach and with a feeble coldness in body not recommended to drink green tea too much. Black tea would be better and suitable for them.
That is a good dish and palatable. Maybe it is weird for the first sight. When you really have it, you feel that goodness. When you are free you might try. The only problem is I can not be sure if it is that so good as it is from the origination here. Most Hangzhou dishes are very famous while I tasted them and felt not so authentic when I was for business trip in other places. It lies in the ingredients, raw materials, and the cook.

- Let me see, oh, getting up too early so people think that I am an eccentric person who runs in the morning, which might disturb and scare them a lot. I should have chosen some quiet ways to avoid them and make them feel peaceful and nothing bothered from me.
