Recipes with protein
I’ve shared shrimp cakes with pork before. This time, I’m mixing fish with shrimp, which has a more similar texture and richer nutrition.
Crucian carp soup is a nutritious soup with the following nutritional values: • High-quality protein: Crucian carp is rich in high-quality protein and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body, which helps maintain the body's normal physiological functions and promote muscle growth and repair. • Unsaturated fatty acids: The fat in crucian carp is mostly unsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower blood lipids, protect cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. • Vitamins: Contains vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12 and other vitamins, which play an important role in maintaining vision, promoting metabolism, and protecting the nervous system.
Shrimp crackers are chewy and tasty, but also very nutritious. Mixing them with minced meat can enrich the flavor and make the texture thicker. My youngest son doesn’t like eating shrimps, so in order to ensure that he doesn’t miss out on this delicious and nutritious food, I have to be a bit more thoughtful. Shrimp cakes can be obtained by fighting for them at home! 😂
The green of shredded cucumber, the golden color of fried eggs and the whiteness of shrimps are spread on the chewy buckwheat noodles. The sauce is flavored with garlic, chili powder and sesame oil, and then added with soy sauce, vinegar and oyster sauce to enhance the flavor, sugar and salt to blend the taste, and a few drops of sesame oil and pepper oil to make the aroma more layered. The red, green and white are intertwined, and the sour, spicy and fresh fragrance bursts on the tip of the tongue. Buckwheat noodles are low in fat and high in fiber, shrimps are rich in protein, and cucumbers are refreshing and relieve greasiness. You must know how to make the soul sauce, which can be mixed with cucumbers, preserved eggs, etc.)
“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.
Dried squid is rich in high-quality protein and minerals such as calcium and iron, which can supplement essential amino acids for the body; lotus root is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance immunity; peanuts provide plant protein and unsaturated fatty acids, and the nutrients are fully released after boiling. The protein, dietary fiber, and various minerals in the soup work synergistically to nourish the spleen and replenish the deficiency while moisturizing the skin. It is a healthy and nutritious soup with both inner beauty and taste. Tips: If you want to save time and retain the taste, it is more convenient to use a pressure cooker! Compared with slow cooking, high-pressure stewing can make the ingredients release the freshness faster, and lotus root pieces and peanuts can be quickly cooked to be soft and glutinous, and the purine content is even lower, so it is more burden-free to drink~
