When the weather is cold, children and the elderly with low immunity are more likely to get sick. To meet the challenges of winter, we need to focus on immune-boosting diets. Fortunately, there are some vegetables in nature that contain phytonicidal substances similar to penicillin, which can help us strengthen our immunity and prevent diseases. In this article, I will recommend four dishes that come with "penicillin" and explain their practices and effects in detail to help you better protect your health.
Garlic has been praised as a "natural antibiotic" since ancient times. It is rich in active substances such as sulfide, allicin, capsaicin and has excellent anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. To take full advantage of the antimicrobial benefits of garlic, I recommend a simple recipe – sugar garlic.
Here's how to make the garlic: First, remove the outer skin of the garlic and leave only the innermost layer. Then, soak in lightly salted water overnight to remove the spicy smell of the garlic cloves. The next day, after draining the water, cut off the roots of the garlic and place it in a clean glass bottle. Next, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar and rice vinegar to make sure the garlic is completely submerged in the vinegar. Finally, close the lid and place the glass bottle in a cool, ventilated place to marinate for a month. After a month, the delicious sweet garlic is ready, and the sweet, sour and crisp taste is very appetizing.
Like garlic, onions are ingredients that contain sulfide and allicin, which can help kill bacteria. If you like to eat onions, I recommend a simple recipe - stir-fried pork liver with onions.
First, cut the pork liver into thin slices and wash it several times with clean water until the water is clear. Next, put the pork liver into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine, pepper, cooking oil, spread the seasoning evenly on the pork liver with your hands, and marinate for 20 minutes for later use. Then, cut the green pepper and onion into cubes. In another bowl, add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, balsamic vinegar, pepper and starch, stir well with chopsticks, and make a sauce for later use. Next, heat the pan and add an appropriate amount of cooking oil, pour the marinated pork liver into the pan, stir-fry until it changes color, and set aside. Finally, keep the remaining oil in the pot, add onions and green peppers, stir-fry for a while on high heat, and after the break, add the fried pork liver, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir-fry over high heat to collect the juice. This stir-fried pork liver with onions is not only fragrant, but also rich in flavor, making it an immune-boosting delicacy.
Like garlic, garlic sprouts are also rich in allicin, which has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, garlic sprouts also have a laxative effect. In order for everyone to better enjoy the benefits of garlic sprouts, I recommend a simple recipe - stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts.
First, cut the pork into shreds, then add an appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine, starch and cooking oil, knead evenly with your hands, and marinate for 20 minutes. At the same time, soak the fungus in advance and wash it for later use. Next, pinch off the head of the garlic sprouts, wash them and cut them into segments. Next, boil a pot of water, add an appropriate amount of salt and cooking oil, blanch the garlic sprouts in water for 2 minutes, remove them and rinse them with cold water, drain them and set aside. Then, heat the pan and add an appropriate amount of cooking oil, pour the marinated shredded pork into the pan, stir-fry until it changes color, and then set aside. Finally, reserve a small amount of base oil in the pot, add the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the fungus and stir-fry for a while, then add the garlic sprouts and stir-fry for a while. Finally, pour in the fried shredded pork, add an appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce and oyster sauce to taste, stir-fry evenly and then remove from the pot. This stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts is a healthy and delicious home-cooked dish.
Asparagus is not only rich in elements such as vitamin C and folic acid, but also has the effect of sterilization and immunity enhancement. For a simple asparagus dish, I recommend boiled asparagus.
First, cut off the old roots of the asparagus, wash them and set aside. Boil a pot of water, add an appropriate amount of salt and cooking oil, blanch the asparagus in water for 2 minutes, remove and rinse after it changes color. Next, drain and serve. Then, mince the garlic cloves, cut the millet pepper into rings, put it in a bowl, add the cooked white sesame seeds, pour it into the hot oil that has smoked, and bring out the fragrance. Next, add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, oyster sauce, sugar and cold boiled water, stir well to make a sauce. Finally, pour the sauce over the asparagus. This boiled asparagus is fragrant and delicious, not only delicious but also immune-boosting.
During the cold winter months, boosting immunity is essential to prevent disease. Garlic, onions, garlic sprouts, and asparagus all contain phytonicidal substances similar to penicillin, which can help us boost our immunity and prevent disease. By consuming these dishes every other day, we can maintain good health and reduce the likelihood of getting sick. While paying attention to strengthening immunity in winter, it is also necessary to maintain a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle to comprehensively improve the body's resistance. I hope these dishes will bring health and deliciousness to everyone!
