The cold winter is coming, and the cold air hits people to feel bitterly cold. Even with a thick down jacket, you still don't feel warm, and if you don't have heating indoors in the south, the temperature may be even cooler than outside. In order to have a comfortable winter, in addition to wearing more clothes, it is necessary to remember to take supplements, especially to replenish enough qi and blood. Only when the body's qi and blood are sufficient, can you keep your hands and feet warm and have a good complexion. Therefore, I pay special attention to food for my family in winter, and eat more foods that nourish qi and blood. Below I will introduce 4 kinds of ingredients and practices to replenish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and warm up the body in winter.
1. Production method:
Peel and wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into thin slices and steam them, then add an appropriate amount of sugar to the steamed sweet potatoes and press them into mashed sweet potatoes with a spoon. Then add an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour, stir until the dough is lumpy, and then knead it into balls the size of a table tennis ball by hand. Flatten the meatballs and wrap them in an appropriate amount of chopped mozzarella cheese and tighten the mouthful.
2. Cooking method:
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the sweet potato balls in the oil until golden brown and serve. These meatballs taste sweet and soft, and each meatball has a cheesey runny texture.
Pumpkin balls and red bean soup uses pumpkin and red beans as the main ingredients, which can nourish blood and qi and warm the body.
1. Production method:
First, soak the red beans in water overnight in advance, then add the red beans to the pot and boil over low heat for 40 minutes. Add an appropriate amount of rock sugar and continue to cook for 20 minutes until the red beans are boiled into red bean paste. The pumpkin is then peeled, cut into small pieces, added to the steamer to steam, and pressed into a pumpkin puree. Then add an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sugar, stir into dough pieces, and make pumpkin balls.
2. Cooking method:
Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot and heat it, add the pumpkin balls and cook until they float, then take them out and put them in the soup where the red bean paste is boiled. Pumpkin balls and red bean soup tastes sweet and soft and glutinous, which not only replenishes qi and blood, but also moisturizes the skin and makes people radiant.
Spinach and pork liver soup uses pork liver and spinach as the main ingredients, which can replenish qi and nourish blood, and is also good for the liver and eyes.
1. Production method:
Wash and cut the pork liver into thin slices, add an appropriate amount of salt, white pepper, starch and cooking wine, stir evenly and marinate for 20 minutes. Then blanch the pork liver slices in boiling water, boil until they change color, and then remove them.
2. Cooking method:
Take a pot of hot oil, add green onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, pour in an appropriate amount of water, and add the soup soup and stir well. Then put the appropriate amount of ingredients such as pork liver slices, spinach, and wolfberries into the pot, add an appropriate amount of salt and white pepper, and finally drizzle an appropriate amount of sesame oil and bring to a boil. Not only is this dish delicious, but it is also rich in various nutrients that are good for both immunity and beauty.
1. Production method:
Chop the chicken into pieces, soak in water for 1 hour, wash and set aside. Then put the chicken pieces into the pot, add an appropriate amount of ginger slices and cooking wine, cook on high heat for 5 minutes, skim off the foam, remove the chicken pieces, and rinse with warm water. Add water to boil the chicken pieces again, put in the yam pieces, simmer for half an hour, and finally add an appropriate amount of salt and wolfberries to continue to cook for 10 minutes.
The above four ingredients are processed in different ways and can be enjoyed separately or combined. These foods are rich in nutrients, such as sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A and dietary fiber, pumpkin is rich in vitamin C and plant fiber, pork liver is rich in vitamin B and protein, and chicken is rich in protein and minerals. Not only can they replenish the nutrients needed by the body, but they can also strengthen the immune system and maintain the health of the body. In winter, proper consumption of these qi-nourishing and blood-nourishing foods can help the body stay warm and the complexion will get better and better.
