In the cold winter, we must eat some food that strengthens the spleen and stomach, because the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the acquired and the source of energy obtained by the body, so eating more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach can consolidate the righteous qi, raise the yang qi, and nourish the middle qi, so that we can spend the whole cold winter more healthily. In nature, there are many foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, such as millet, apples, yams, lotus roots, etc., all of which have a certain effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach. And today Lao Hu introduced to you this food, it is better to eat lotus root in winter, because it is not only highly nutritious, but also has a very good spleen and stomach effect, it is known as the king of the spleen and stomach "yam bean".
Yam bean is also known as "yam egg, yam bell", it is grown from the vine of the yam plant, we often eat the yam, that is the stem of the yam plant, and the yam bean is equivalent to the seed of the yam. Yam beans and yams contain similar nutrients, but most of the nutrients are higher than yams, and its price is cheaper than yams, so it is very popular among some people in the market. Every time I am in the vegetable market, as long as I see yam beans, I will always buy four or five catties, and then take them home and fry them casually, which is more delicious than meat!
The yam bean is not only delicious, but it is also rich in calcium, iron, selenium, a variety of amino acids and other nutrients, these substances are combined and matched, with the effect of "strengthening the spleen and stomach, strengthening the kidneys and improving the essence, benefiting the heart and soothing the nerves, and prolonging life", so I strongly recommend that middle-aged and elderly people eat yam beans 2-3 times a week.
[Preparation of raw materials]: 1 kg of yam beans, 100 grams of garlic leaves, 10 grams of garlic seeds, salt, light soy sauce, chicken essence, and appropriate amount of cooking oil.
【Preparation of garlic yam beans】:
Step 1: When you buy yam beans, try to choose large yam beans, this yam beans are not only softer and glutinous, but also more fragrant, and then put the yam beans you bought home into clean water to soak for 10 minutes, and then repeatedly scrub the yam beans, rub off the soil on the surface of the yam beans, and then rinse the yam beans with running water.
Step 2: Put the washed yam beans into the steamer, steam the yam beans for 10 minutes on high heat, turn off the heat, and then bring out the steamed yam beans immediately.
Step 3: Remove the yellow leaves of the garlic leaves, then rinse them well, then cut the garlic leaves into medium-sized segments for later use.
Step 4: Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, after the oil is boiled, put the minced garlic into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then put the yam beans and garlic leaves into the pot, and fry the garlic leaves on high heat until they are broken.
Step 5: Then put the light soy sauce, salt, and chicken essence into the pot, and continue to fry seven or eight times before eating.
In winter, garlic leaves and yam beans are a natural pair, because garlic leaves have the effect of "sterilizing and inhibiting bacteria and promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis". You can buy a little more yam beans at a time, and then put them in a dry and ventilated place, and they will not spoil for at least 3 months!
Eat lotus root is not as good as eating "yam beans", now it is in season, the nutrition is extremely high, strengthen the spleen and stomach, stir-fry at will, more fresh and fragrant than meat
