After the heavy snowfall, the earth is covered in a layer of silver, as if entering a fairyland. At this time, people should pay attention to their diet and choose some foods that are beneficial to their health. So, what are the four types of food we should eat after a heavy snowfall?
Vitamin C can strengthen the body's constitution and help resist cold weather. For example, citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwifruit, etc., are all good choices that are rich in vitamin C. In addition, spinach and cauliflower in vegetables are also rich in vitamin C.
1.Prepare the ingredients.
Before you start cooking, first prepare the ingredients you need. Usually we need to prepare seasonings such as fresh cauliflower, garlic, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. If you like, you can also add other vegetables or meats according to your personal taste.
2.Chop the vegetables.
Wash the cauliflower and cut it into sizes. In order to preserve the nutrients and taste of cauliflower, it is recommended to cut it into small pieces or balls. At the same time, mince the garlic to better release its aroma.
3.Heat the pan.
Add an appropriate amount of olive oil to the pan and heat the pan over medium heat. When the oil starts to smoke, the temperature is already moderate and you can start stir-frying.
4.Sautéed cauliflower.
Put the chopped cauliflower in a pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat so that the cauliflower does not cook soft. During the stir-frying process, keep experimenting with the doneness of the cauliflower to ensure that they can maintain a certain taste and nutritional value. At the same time, add the chopped garlic to allow the cauliflower to fully absorb the aroma of the garlic.
5.Flavouring.
When the cauliflower is sautéed to a certain extent, you can add the right amount of salt and black pepper to taste according to your taste. Be careful not to add too much so as not to affect the taste of the cauliflower. In addition, you can also add other seasonings such as light soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc., as needed to enhance the flavor of the dish.
6.Remove from pan and serve.
When the cauliflower is sautéed until it is cooked through, it can be served out and plated. At this point, you can choose different ways to present the dish according to your personal preference to make the dish look more appealing. Finally, a delicious cauliflower dish is ready!
After heavy snowfall, the temperature is lower and people tend to feel cold. At this time, eating some foods that have a warming effect can help the body stay warm. For example, ginger, garlic, chili, etc. all have a good warming effect. In addition, you can also choose some warm soups, such as red dates and wolfberry soup, mutton soup, etc., which can not only keep warm but also nourish the body.
1.Prepare ingredients: 50 grams of red dates, 20 grams of wolfberries, appropriate amount of rock sugar, appropriate amount of water.
2.Wash the jujube and cut it in half with a knife for later use. Soak the wolfberries in water in advance and remove them for later use after they have fully absorbed the water.
3.Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put the chopped red dates into the pot, and bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
4.After boiling, turn to low heat and continue to cook for about 10 minutes to allow the dates to fully ripen through. During the period, you can stir appropriately to prevent the red dates from sticking to the pan.
5.When the dates are fully ripe, add the soaked goji berries and continue to cook over low heat for about 5 minutes. This allows the wolfberry to fully absorb the nutrients in the jujubes.
6.Finally, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar according to personal taste, and stir until the rock sugar is completely dissolved.
7.Pour the boiled red dates and wolfberry soup into a bowl and let it cool a little before enjoying. Note that red dates and wolfberry soup is best drunk half an hour before meals to achieve the best health effect.
After heavy snowfall, people's bodies need more energy to maintain normal physiological functions. Therefore, after heavy snowfall, we should eat more high-protein foods, such as chicken, fish, tofu, etc. At the same time, nuts, milk, etc. are also good choices.
1.Ingredients: 1 black-bone chicken (about 15-2 kg), Huaishan, wolfberry, red dates, lotus seeds, astragalus, angelica, Chuanxiong, white peony, rehmannia and other Chinese herbal medicines, ginger, green onions, cooking wine, salt, pepper and other seasonings in an appropriate amount.
2.Chicken handling: The chicken is slaughtered, haired, and gutted, and then rinsed with water. Make a few cuts on the surface of the chicken to better absorb the flavor.
3.Prepare other ingredients: Huaishan, wolfberry, red dates, lotus seeds.
4.Blanching: Put the black-bone chicken in a pot, add enough water, bring to a boil on high heat, remove and rinse with water. The purpose of this step is to remove blood foam and impurities from the black-bone chicken.
5.Stew: Put the blanched black-bone chicken into a stew pot or saucepan, add the sliced ginger and green onions, and add enough water. Chinese herbs are also put into a stew pot or stew pot and simmered with the black-bone chicken. The simmering time is about 15-2 hours until the black-boned chicken is cooked through.
6.Seasoning: During the stewing process, you can add an appropriate amount of cooking wine, salt, pepper and other seasonings according to your personal taste. After simmering, use a strainer to remove the ginger slices and green onions, and finally sprinkle with some pepper.
7.Remove from the pot: Pour the stewed black chicken soup into a bowl and enjoy while hot. If you feel that the soup is too thick, you can add some hot water to dilute it.
Finally, drink the right amount of fluids. After heavy snowfall, although the humidity in the air is higher, people tend not to sweat easily due to the lower temperature, resulting in faster water loss from the body. Therefore, it is important to ensure adequate water intake every day to avoid dehydration. You can choose to drink plain water, tea, fruit juice, etc., but be careful not to drink sugary drinks in excess.
