On Lian Manman's family dining table, cold dishes often replace dipping sauces. For example, smashed cucumber is best made without a steel knife, as it can harm the cucumber's freshness. Using the back of a bamboo knife yields the best results. There are also thin strips of tender cucumber and dried tofu, seasoned to perfection, incredibly refreshing and appetizing.
When making cold dishes in summer, garlic paste is indispensable.
Lian Manman believes that adding garlic paste not only enhances the flavor, but also serves as a sterilizing agent. Speaking of garlic paste, one must mention another dish Lian Shouxin loves; that is steamed eggplant.
