The climate in winter is cold, and people are often reluctant to go out for exercise because they are afraid of the cold. In addition, winter is also the season that can easily lead to constipation, which is caused by prolonged inactivity and irregular diet. Therefore, in the cold winter, we should eat more foods that can moisten the intestines.
When it comes to laxative foods, sweet potatoes are the first thing that comes to mind for many people. However, although sweet potatoes have laxative effects, they are too sweet and heavy, and eating too much in winter is not good for the body. And the food I want to introduce today has both laxative effect and nourishing the body, it is the "yam bean" that people who know how to maintain health will vigorously eat in winter.
While the yam forms tubers in the underground part, there are many small shoots growing between the axils of the aboveground leaves, and these small shoots are yam beans. Don't underestimate yam beans, it has the effect of "moistening the lungs, laxative, strengthening the spleen and stomach", especially suitable for eating in winter. Although yam beans are highly nutritious, many people don't know how to eat them, so I'm going to share three of the most delicious ways to make them.
1. Ingredients preparation: 500 grams of yam beans, appropriate amount of water.
2.Method: First, rinse the yam beans with water, then put them in a steamer and steam them for 15-20 minutes, and then they can be eaten directly after steaming. Steamed yam beans are soft and glutinous and sweet, and can better retain the nutritional value in yam beans. Whenever you are bored, just grab a handful of steamed yam beans and eat them, so that you can feel the deliciousness in your mouthful.
For those with a sweet tooth, steamed yam beans are an excellent choice. The natural sweetness of the yam beans and the glutinous soft taste after steaming make people want to stop, as if they are in full happiness. The rich dietary fiber in yam beans helps to promote intestinal peristalsis and increase the frequency of bowel movements, thereby relieving constipation. In addition, steamed yam beans can provide rich vitamin C, vitamin B and minerals, which can help strengthen immunity and promote good health.

2. Production method:
Step 1: Rinse the yam beans and steam them in a steamer for 15-20 minutes until they are cooked.
Step 2: Take a pot, add an appropriate amount of water and rock sugar, and heat over high heat until the rock sugar is completely melted. Then, turn the heat to low and keep stir-frying the rock sugar until there are a large number of small fisheye bubbles in the pot, then turn off the heat.
Step 3: Put the steamed yam beans in a pot and continue to stir-fry until each yam bean is coated with a layer of white frosting. After the yam beans are completely cooled, put them in an airtight bottle and store them. Consuming a few yam beans every day is very beneficial to the body.
Hanging cream yam beans are a delicious dessert, not only glutinous and soft and sweet, but also a unique icing coat, giving people a double enjoyment of sight and taste. The rock sugar in the icing gradually melts during the frying process and wraps around the surface of the yam beans, forming a white frost-like substance. This layer of frosting not only adds sweetness to the food, but also dissolves in the mouth, releasing a hint of sweetness that will leave you with an endless aftertaste.

Combining fresh leeks with glutinous and soft yam beans not only makes the flavor of yam beans more varied, but also adds a touch of fresh aroma.
