Introduction: "The champion of pushing feces" is not a banana, but it, eat it 1 time a week, clean the intestines, detoxify, and the whole body is smooth!
The rainy season has not yet begun after the beginning of spring, and the air is still very dry at this time, which is not only easy to cause respiratory problems, but also easy to cause fire and constipation. In particular, after the beginning of spring, everyone's appetite becomes better and eats more meat, which makes it easier to put a greater burden on the stomach while enjoying delicious meat. At this time, many people will first think of eating bananas. Bananas are rich in pectin, a substance that is good for digestion and reduces stress on the stomach.
However, in addition to bananas, there is one fruit that is in season and that is yacon. Yacon is both a vegetable and a fruit with a unique taste. It is crisp and juicy, and when you bite into it, the refreshing taste spreads in your mouth. Yacon fruit is rich in various amino acids, vitamins, dietary fiber, potassium, calcium and other minerals, and has extremely high nutritional value. Eating yacon fruit often can play a role in detoxification and fire reduction, moisturizing and laxative, so it has the reputation of "fecal champion".
Yacon can be eaten in a variety of ways and can be eaten raw to taste its original refreshing taste. It can also be boiled and drunk to integrate its unique flavor into the soup to add flavor and nutrition to the soup. Below, the editor will share with you several delicious methods of yacon, so that you can appreciate the production process of this delicious dish.
Yacon pork rib soup
Wash the ribs and cut them into appropriately sized pieces. Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, add ginger slices, green onions and cooking wine, and blanch the pork ribs in a pot under cold water. The purpose of blanching is to remove blood and impurities from the ribs, making the soup clearer and more delicious. After the water boils, skim off the foam, remove the ribs, rinse with clean water, drain and set aside.
Next, process the yacon. Wash the yacon, peel and cut into cubes. The skin of yacon is relatively thin, and when peeling it, you can use a knife to gently peel it off, being careful not to cut it too thickly, so as not to waste the pulp.
Then, prepare a saucepan and put the blanched ribs into the pot and add an appropriate amount of water. The amount of water should be adjusted according to the amount of pork ribs and personal preference, generally speaking, the water should be submerged over the ribs. After the heat is boiled, turn to low heat and simmer for a while to allow the nutrients and flavor of the ribs to be fully released.
After simmering for about 30 minutes, add the chopped yacon pieces. Continue to simmer over low heat to allow the nutrients of yacon to incorporate into the soup, while also allowing the pork ribs and yacon flavors to blend together. The simmering time can be adjusted according to individual taste, and it is generally enough to simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
During the simmering process, stir the soup at the right time to ensure that the ingredients are evenly heated. At the same time, observe the color and consistency of the soup, and if you feel that the soup is too thick, you can add some water appropriately. If you feel that the taste is not enough, you can add the right amount of salt to taste according to your personal taste.
Finally, when yacon pork rib soup is simmered until it is moderately thick and delicious, turn off the heat. Place the soup in a bowl and garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro to add to the beauty of the soup.
Yacon pork rib soup is not only delicious but also nutritious. On a cold winter day, a steaming bowl of yacon pork rib soup will not only warm the body, but also bring comfort to the stomach.
