Steamed pork ribs with tofu

Tofu steamed pork ribs is a dish with a relatively balanced nutritional combination. Its benefits are mainly reflected in the following aspects: • Rich in nutrients: Tofu is rich in high-quality plant protein, calcium, iron and other nutrients; pork ribs provide animal protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. The combination of the two can supplement a variety of essential nutrients for the human body. • Easy to digest: Steaming is a relatively gentle cooking method. Tofu and pork ribs are soft and rotten after steaming. They are suitable for people of different ages, especially those with weak digestive function. • Calcium supplementation: Tofu and pork ribs both contain a certain amount of calcium. Calcium is very important for the health of bones and teeth. Regular consumption helps prevent osteoporosis and strengthen the body.

Poached White-Cut Chicken

“Soak chicken” is actually a slow-cooking method—using warm water to gently cook the chicken, reducing protein loss and preventing moisture from being drawn out, resulting in a more tender, silky texture. Additionally, to enhance the flavor, this time we’ve added pork ribs to the poaching. The perfect accompaniment to white-cut chicken is, of course, minced ginger, which we’ll share in another recipe.
