Yes, it is the "court snack" that Empress Dowager Cixi likes. A side dish in a restaurant costs more than ten yuan. Doing it at home is simple and cheap!

I think it's much more expensive to do it outside than at home.

It feels like ordering a dish outside can make a big table at home.

Before inviting friends to dinner, I cooked a big table of dishes. The ingredients cost 200 yuan as soon as they were used.

Stir-fry two flavors of lobster, one is mashed garlic and the other is spicy. Lobsters were on the market in large quantities at that time. /kloc-bought 8 Jin of A Jin on 0/6 and spent 128. This is the price of ordering a lobster outside.

A spicy snail, a Jin of snail 6 yuan, bought 5 Jin of 30 yuan. A night market stall 20.

A spicy flower nail, which weighs 5.5 kg, also bought 5 kg and spent 27.5 kg. 38 yuan, a night market food stall. It is estimated that the flower armor is only half a catty.

A boiled edamame, 10 yuan 3 kg, 20 yuan bought 6 kg. The food stalls in the night market are also 10.

Then I bought some side dishes. One * * * is more than 200 points.

It is true that every dish is much cheaper than the outside, and it is clean and hygienic.

As a foodie who studies how to eat all day, he has too much say in this issue.

Because I like eating, but I think it's expensive. In order not to go bankrupt, I went home and cooked a lot of delicious food myself. In contrast, there is indeed a situation that "it is expensive to sell outside and take a few dollars at home". I will share it with you today.

As soon as milk tea arrived in summer, the orders for milk tea and iced drinks soared. But this is really expensive. Compared with the outside 15 yuan, the normal milk tea in 25 yuan. I have tried several recipes myself. It is much cheaper in terms of price, and the amount of sugar can be controlled by itself in terms of health. However, especially complicated formulas are not easy to make.

1, basic materials: milk, tea bags. I've tried several kinds of tea bags, and I think Lipton's is more suitable. Black tea and green tea are all ok. Another advantage of using tea bags is that there is no need to filter, which keeps the purity and taste of milk tea.

2. Ingredients: sago, pearls, taro, honey beans, turtle paste, pudding, coconut, etc. These can be bought in semi-finished products. Turtle paste can be bought in small boxes or powder, which will solidify after adding water.

3. Special ingredients: rose, chocolate sauce, jam, Oreo and brown sugar, which can be developed by ourselves.

Basic practice:

1, brew the tea bag with water, put less water and make it stronger. If you especially like drinking milk, you can soak it directly in it.

2. Add all kinds of ingredients and add whatever you want. If you can cook sago and make your own pudding, you can also make it yourself (there are too many things to write here, so I won't write about these practices for the time being, you can write in another post).

Step 3 add embellishment. For example, sprinkle roses, sprinkle Oreos and put an ice cream ball.

Putting it in a nice glass is not necessarily worse than takeaway. It can go with breakfast or make afternoon tea. Isn't it amazing?

Fruit juice beverage materials: all kinds of fruits, milk, yogurt, sugar, ice cubes.

Basic practice:

1. Juice: Buy your own fresh fruit, cut it into small pieces, and press it in the juicer.

2, milkshake: use milk and fruit, no water, so that the juice is thicker. Yogurt will do.

3, fruit smoothies: fruit and yogurt juice, the rest cut into small pieces, add to the juice, you can drink and eat. Lemons, kiwis and strawberries can also be sliced and decorated.

4, you can also match a variety of fruits and vegetables. In short, it is healthy.

formula

1, kiwi+apple+cucumber+honey. This recipe is very refreshing. It is very comfortable to drink in summer.

2, passion fruit+avocado+milk. Avocado is tasteless, but it smells good with passion fruit.

3, lemon+watermelon. Watermelon is the main ingredient, and lemon juice is squeezed to taste.

4, mango+banana+milk. This can be beaten with ice. It will be like a smoothie.

5, carrots+oranges+cherry tomatoes. This kind of juice has a good color and a little light taste. Carrots have crude fiber. If not, you can filter it.

6, cantaloupe+grapefruit+apple. This is really comfortable, sweet and sour.

7. pear+peach+strawberry. Remember to cut diced strawberries and sliced strawberries for decoration.

8, papaya+milk. Classic recipe, delicious without anything.

9. Mango+pineapple+milk. It's particularly sticky, but I really like it.

Let's stop writing about juice drinks for the time being. Everyone must have a better formula than me. It's summer now, and this is the best way. Doing your own cleaning is cheaper than outside. Let's all try it.

Here are a few more complicated ones.

Fruit cheesecake seems to be very popular recently, especially durian cake. There are many punch cards in online celebrity stores, which is also common in Tik Tok.

Ingredients: durian, flour, milk, cheese, sugar, butter, eggs, yeast.

Practice: 1. Add water, milk, yeast, eggs and butter to flour and knead into dough. If you have a dough mixer, use it. Let stand and ferment for more than an hour.

2. cut the cheese. Stir durian a little and the fruit will become cloudy.

3. Mix cheese and durian with sugar for later use.

4, the dough is thin, wrapped in cheese durian stuffing. I like cheese very much. I always put more. Wrap it and press it into the shape of a cupcake.

If you use an oven, brush a layer of egg liquid and butter on the surface of the cake, and the cake skin will bake beautifully golden yellow.

6. You can also use a frying pan. Fry the cake in butter until golden on both sides.

This cake can also use other fillings instead of durian. Such as bananas, purple potatoes, mangoes, avocados, mangoes, etc. If you want to achieve the effect of Explosicum, you'd better mash all the hard ingredients first.

I recommend milk cubes. If you usually eat milk outside, it will cost tens of dollars. It is not only cheap but also simple for you to do it at home. People who often stir-fry can also make a dessert. And eating more won't make you fat.

My colleagues came to my house as guests, so I made this dessert for them. Received unanimous praise, and everyone gave a thumbs up.

The raw materials needed are also very simple. About ten yuan. Mengniu pure milk 250ml 3 yuan, corn starch 40g. If you buy a bag, it's probably 3.5 yuan. And sugar, of course. It's best to use this zero-calorie sugar, and white sugar can also be used. The price is around two yuan. Coconuts cost 3 yuan a bag, and half a bag is enough.

Write down the steps. I hope my friends can do it at home.

Step one. In a saucepan, mix milk, corn starch and zero-calorie sugar together and stir well.

Step two. Wash the box with a layer of coconut milk.

Step three. Turn on a small fire, heat and stir the milk until the liquid thickens, and quickly pour it into the box containing coconut milk.

This step should be quick, otherwise the milk will coagulate easily.

Step four. Shake the box to flatten the surface. Put it in the refrigerator for two hours.

Is it simple? In fact, in a word, mix the raw materials together and heat them in a thick refrigerator for 2 hours.

At this time, you can cut it into small pieces, or any shape you like. It has a strong coconut flavor and milk flavor, and it has an unspeakable happiness when eaten. Have the friends learned?

It's expensive outside, but there are many cheap ones at home. Mainly depends on your cooking. If you are a good cook, cooking at home can save about 60%. And there are many dishes, which cost one tenth of the hotel.

Which foods are expensive outside and cheap at home? If this list goes on, it is estimated that some people will say, "Just eat at home! Why do you want to eat out? " Actually, when we eat out, we shouldn't just look at their profits. But enjoy the service and dining environment provided by the other party. Because the food in restaurants outside is expensive, it is because of various operating costs and profit accounting. So whether we cook it ourselves or go out to eat, we all enjoy the pleasure brought by delicious food, and we can't just calculate whether it is suitable or not, right? Share two delicious dishes, both of which are very easy to use and have a high success rate.

The first course is a classic Cantonese seafood steamed dish-steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli. Many people think that this dish is relatively tall at first glance, and it is basically at least thirty or forty in restaurants. But in fact, the cost of doing it yourself will be much lower. Moreover, this dish is simple and easy to operate, with basically zero error rate, which is super suitable for beginners to try. Share the practice.

Steamed scallops with garlic and vermicelli

Production materials: scallops (6-8), vermicelli, garlic, onion, oyster sauce and sugar.

Production steps:

1. Wash scallops, separate the shell and meat, and keep the shell for later use.

2. Soak the vermicelli until soft and set aside.

3. garlic is cut into minced garlic, seasoned with oyster sauce and white sugar, and made into sauce.

4. Set the plate, stack the shells, vermicelli and shellfish in turn, and finally pour the sauce on each shellfish.

5, even the steamer, steam for 8 to 10 minutes.

6. Cut the onion into sections and sprinkle it on the shellfish.

6. Heat the oil and pour it on each shellfish to make it.

The second course is spaghetti with western tomato sauce.

It is also a seemingly complicated and simple dish. The price of western restaurants ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. But if you do it at home, the cost is really a few dollars.

Ingredients: minced meat (pork or beef), tomatoes, pasta, onions, potatoes and cheese slices.

Production steps:

1. Boil water, take a handful of spaghetti and cook for 8- 10 minutes. The criteria for judging whether spaghetti is cooked or not are not accurate at first. How to use it is to take out one and throw it on the tile wall, just right (just kidding, it's almost cooked in one bite). When cooked, take it out and put it aside.

2, tomatoes peeled and diced, in the same way, potatoes and onions diced.

3, hot pot, put olive oil (why put olive oil, because this is a western food that pays more attention to B, in fact, it is as delicious as other oils, use whatever oil you have).

4. Stir-fry the onion, add the meat and stir-fry until it is slightly cooked. Add tomatoes and potatoes and stir-fry over high heat.

5. Add water and continue to stir fry the stuffing. When it is seven ripe, add cheese slices (or other sauces containing cheese ingredients) and continue to stir fry. Add spaghetti when it is medium-cooked.

6. Fully mix the stuffing and sauce with the noodles, collect the juice over high fire and set the plate.

7. At this time, you can add black pepper (preferably freshly ground black pepper) and cheese powder (available online, just sprinkle it directly) to increase the flavor and aftertaste.

Personally, I think fried rice with eggs is more expensive. Do it at home for no more than three or two dollars. A bowl of leftovers, one or two eggs and a spoonful of salt will do. The whole family likes it. But every time I go out to eat, the younger one needs twenty or thirty, and there are at least two in a family. It feels more expensive than a plate of meat!

Recommend two kinds of dishes, the thief sold in the hotel is expensive, the cost at home is only 1/3, and it is easy to use. As we all know, we always invite friends to eat in restaurants on holidays. When eating out, I always order some "hard dishes". These dishes are often attractive and expensive (the price of vegetables often exceeds that of 80 yuan), and they can't be cooked at home. No way, often these "hard dishes" are used by businesses to make money. Cheap vegetables drain and hard vegetables make money, which has been the business model of the catering industry for many years. Next, I recommend two cheap "hard dishes", which are simple to operate but will definitely be the most dazzling stars on the table! Not much to say, dry goods

First, fried shrimp, this kind of fried shrimp, restaurants are often between 78- 100. I made it at home last month, and the cost was finally set at around 20. This dish is often only eaten in hotels, not cooked at home, but when I tell you how to cook it, you will find that it only takes 7-8 minutes to cook it.

| Production method |

1. Prepare two fried dough sticks, cut them into 6 cm pieces, and then hollow out the middle.

2, the amount of new prawns is 2 Liang. Remove the shrimp line and skin, add Jiang Mo and cooking wine, and mash with a blender.

3. Stuff the shrimp paste into the fritters (it is also convenient for 20 yuan to put a box of semi-finished products on tb).

Step 4 make a fire. When the oil temperature is 70% hot, fry the fritters for 5 minutes and then take them out.

5. Prepare your favorite fruit and cut it into pieces. Mix the fried fritters with salad dressing and serve.

A fried shrimp can be eaten as a snack. Put down the phone and go into the kitchen to show it to friends and family!

Second, black pepper cowboy bone Speaking of this dish, the hotel owner walked over and liked you best. Low cost, high price and simple production are the most remarkable features of this dish. Besides, ordinary small restaurants don't have this dish. If you want to eat, you can only go to restaurants with per capita consumption above 100, and the price of a meal is also around 100. Break the deadlock today and teach you this "cow" dish with a cost of about 30 yuan! Done, you are the focus of the audience.

| Production method |

1, Shang Chao bought pickled cowboy bones (a box of 20-25) and went home to thaw them.

2. Prepare a bottle of black pepper sauce and a spoonful (1 yuan).

3. Take out the steamer, put beef bones on it, and steam for 30 minutes after SAIC (don't fry it, steam it directly, it will be more tender and delicious).

Step 4 slice the onion

5. Prepare a pot, add corn oil, black pepper sauce and a little water in turn, and fry for 2 minutes to fully blend the oil and sauce.

6. Add onion and fry for 4 minutes. When the onion is soft, add the cowboy bone.

7. Add salt, chicken essence, sugar and a teaspoon of soy sauce in turn and fry for 5 minutes.

This "hotel dish" has only been fried for 10 minutes, but it can become your exclusive private kitchen. Learn quickly.

Yesterday, I went to a restaurant with my friends and ordered Mapo tofu. Let's not talk about the taste, but this Mapo tofu has no minced meat, so I dare not say that I dare not ask (there were so many people at that time that I didn't have the courage to take pictures). Pay attention to the list when checking out, this mapo tofu 38 yuan.

Mapo tofu belongs to Sichuan cuisine. The main ingredients are tofu and minced meat (which can be minced beef or minced pork), and the main ingredients are pepper and pepper. Others need lobster sauce, bean paste, salt, oil, sugar, starch, ginger and onion.

Tofu is 5 1 in my hometown, and one piece of tofu is enough. It's no problem to make a piece of tofu here in Lhasa for two or three yuan. The minced meat in Mapo tofu only needs a little, and with other seasonings, the cost of cooking at home should be less than ten yuan.

Mapo tofu is not complicated, and people without kitchen experience can easily finish it.

1, chop into minced meat. Wash the meat and chop it into minced meat, which is fine particles.

2, tofu drowning. Add water to the pot, add a little salt and bring the water to a boil. Cut the tofu into cubes of about 2 cm, pour the tofu into a boiling pot and blanch it. This can remove the beany smell and soak it in water. By the way, the shallots are washed and cut into chopped green onion, and the ginger is cut into a small piece to make Jiang Mo.

3. Stir-fried minced meat. Heat the pan, add oil, add minced meat and stir-fry until the minced meat is dry, add bean paste and red oil, then add lobster sauce, Jiang Mo and Chili powder.

4. Boil tofu. When the minced meat in the pot is fried to the highest color, add water to boil (broth is the best), not too much water, as long as it can drown the tofu. Add tofu and cook for about 3 minutes on low heat. Season with salt, soy sauce and sugar (bean paste has been added before. Be careful when adding salt and soy sauce. It is best to taste it first and then add it as appropriate). Thicken with a little wet starch.

5. plates. Sprinkle pepper noodles and chopped green onion after serving.
