There are also four staple foods in life that "grow the most meat", and even rice and steamed buns have to stand aside. Here's a closer look at these four staple foods and alternative recipes to help you eat healthier.
1. Fritters. Fritters are a common staple food in breakfast, especially in the north, where people like to drink a bowl of spicy soup with a few hot fritters. However, the carbohydrate and grease content in churros is extremely high, which is easy for people to gain weight quietly.
Alternative recipe: Breakfast omelets.
1.Prepare a small basin, pour 200 grams of flour, add 2 grams of yeast powder, 2 grams of sugar, and then add warm water not more than 40 degrees, stir into a viscous batter, then cover with plastic wrap, seal and rise to twice the size.
2.Cut a few shallots into chopped green onions, put them in a bowl, beat in two eggs, add 2 grams of salt to taste, 1 gram of pepper to remove the smell and increase the flavor, stir well with chopsticks, and dissolve the seasoning for later use.
3.After the batter rises, stir it a few times with chopsticks to expel the air inside, then pour the batter into a piping bag and cut a small hole at the bottom for later use.
4.Heat the electric baking pan, brush with a layer of cooking oil, turn on low heat, and when the oil temperature is 4 hot, squeeze the batter into a circle, leaving a hole in the middle.
5.Pour the egg mixture into the hollow in the middle of the batter, wait for the bottom to fry until set, turn the egg cake over with a spatula, and continue to fry until golden brown on both sides, then remove from the pan.
2. Fried rice. Fried rice is a delicacy enjoyed by many people, especially when eating out. However, fried rice in restaurants often has too much oil and salt, which can easily lead to obesity.
