Teach you how to use toast to easily make a traditional Chinese painting version of a creative meal

Overview

This creative meal recipe is suitable as a side meal for older children, not as a main meal. For older children, especially those over twelve or thirteen years old, as their knowledge increases and their psychology matures, they are no longer curious about interesting children's meals. They may even feel that the hard-working children's meals that their mothers make for them every day feel childish. They think it is very simple and they can make it themselves. Therefore, the creativity of this recipe incorporates some elements of traditional Chinese painting that are suitable for older children's knowledge. Since it is not the main meal, the amount of food is very small. It mainly uses toast, purple sweet potato rice paste, steamed iron bars, and fruits. In terms of nutrition, you can also use other ingredients to match. The sesame chocolate sauce in the ingredients can be homemade, because the purchased black sesame sauce is relatively dry. You can add a little chocolate sauce to mix it to make the sesame sauce become slightly thinner. Put it in a piping bag. Cut off the tip of the piping bag a little bit and it will be easier to squeeze out thin lines and you can paint as much as you like. Below I will introduce to you in detail the content production method of Lutang Heying’s creative meal.
