Hi, I'm the editor of Variety Kitchen. As the New Year approaches, we are confronted with a variety of sumptuous delicacies every day. However, unhealthy eating Xi often leads to bloated tummy and weight gain. In order to maintain good health, we should pay attention to meat and vegetarian combinations, eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise more, and reduce the intake of fried foods. Today, I'm going to share a very delicious apple recipe that has been hailed as the "Scraping Champion" for its way it is stewed with specific ingredients. Let's take a look at how to make it.
First, we need to prepare 1 to 2 apples. Depending on your appetite, you can choose the right amount of apples to make. Then put the apples in a pot, wet the surface with water, sprinkle the apples with an appropriate amount of salt on the skin, and scrub them with salt. Apples are rich in a lot of dietary fiber and other nutrients, and they are relatively low in calories, so regular consumption is very beneficial to the body. However, the skin of apples is usually very dirty, and there may even be residues of pesticides and wax applied by merchants, so scrubbing with salt can disinfect and sterilize, and create friction during the scrubbing process to wash the wax off the surface of the apples. There are many types of apples on the market now, you can choose according to your preferences, different varieties of apples have different tastes, but the nutritional content is not very different. Cut the washed apple into your preferred shape, which can be sliced, chunked or granular, but be sure to remove the pit, as the pit contains certain toxins. Place the sliced apples in a casserole.
Next, prepare a piece of ginger, wet it and scrub it clean. Cut the ginger into thin slices or thin strips and place in a casserole. Ginger is a commonly used condiment that adds flavor to dishes. We can choose how much ginger to add according to our taste. Again, prepare a few jujubes and wash them with flour and salt. Use a toothpick to poke small holes in the surface of the dates so that they can be cooked for better nutrients. Put the processed jujube in a casserole.
Finally, add some goji berries. Goji berries are very common in our daily life, and the common ones are red goji berries and black goji berries. Be careful not to confuse them by distinguishing their uses. The washed goji berries are also placed in a casserole. Finally, add an appropriate amount of mineral or purified water, do not use tap water, and then cover the pot and cook for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, the apples and other ingredients were cooked, and the dates were very soft. At this point, we can cook the sugar and seasonings together as well. When apples are cooked, the pectin and dietary fiber in them are softened, making it easier for the body to digest and absorb. In winter, when the weather is cold, eating raw fruit may not be very adaptable, while people like the elderly and children may feel uncomfortable. At this point, we can cook them in this way to make them eat the fruit. Eaten every evening as dinner, it is both delicious and nutritious. The sweet taste of apples when cooked is not because of the added sugar, but because the natural sweetness of the apples themselves is released.
This apple cooking method is very simple, with just a few ingredients and a few simple steps to make a delicious and healthy apple. The dietary fiber in apples can help digestion and reduce constipation, ginger can promote metabolism and increase immunity, jujube can nourish blood and beauty, and goji berries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which are beneficial to eye health. So this apple boil not only scrapes the oil, but also provides rich nutrients.
You can add some other ingredients or seasonings, such as honey, lemon slices, cinnamon, etc., according to your personal taste, to increase the texture and flavor. In addition, this apple boil can maintain the original taste and texture of apples, and can also replace some high-calorie desserts or snacks, which can help reduce tummy bloat and control weight.
We hope you enjoy this simple and healthy apple stew, so that we can maintain a good diet and Xi habits in the new year, and spend every day healthily!
