It's such a poetic and delicious food

Xi Shi's tongue is very excited by the name alone! The flesh of Xishi tongue is white, smooth and tender, and tastes delicious. There is a popular saying among the people that if you eat clam meat, all kinds of flavors will fail. Moreover, its meat and shell can be used as medicine, which has the functions of clearing away heat, nourishing Yin, resolving phlegm and relieving drenching. Many scholars once admired the delicacy of Xi Shi tongue. It's said that when Yu Dafu was in Fujian Province as a public official, he could not help himself after his first taste of Xi Shi tongue. No matter how he cooked it, he ate hundreds at a time. He joked that it was a 'heroic undertaking' in this life.

Ingredients: appropriate amount of Xishi tongue, appropriate amount of salt, chicken essence, sesame oil, cooking wine, coriander, 1 egg

Methods: 1. Clean the clam shell with a small brush

2. Put water in the pot. When the water boils, put the clams in the pot. 2-3 seconds later, the clams will be filled immediately (the clams themselves are very big. I didn't expect that the skin is so thin. When I put the clams in the pot, I will open in an instant. So if I put the clams in the pot in cold water, the meat will be old.)

3. Separate the shell from the meat, remove the dirty things, tear off the tongue, put it into the original soup, stir it clockwise with chopsticks and rinse it clean

4. Put the processed tongue into the original shell

5. Clear the original soup repeatedly, pour it into the casserole, add proper amount of water to the egg, stir it evenly, pour in the egg liquid after the water boils, turn off the heat (turn off the heat after the egg flower is poured in, or it will get old), add appropriate amount of salt, chicken essence, sesame oil, cooking wine and coriander, and season the soup

6. Put the tongue into the soup before serving

The traditional way is to blanch the tongue lightly, adjust the soup, and put it on the table to ensure the freshness of the tongue. My egg flower is a match. For the sake of good soup color, it's really delicious because the main character is not vulgar
