White radish is rich in vitamin C and fiber, which is unique in cleaning up garbage in the lungs and moisturizing the intestines. Moreover, the selenium, zinc, carotene and other ingredients in radish are simply the right-hand man of our immune system and help us survive the cold season healthily.
Watermelon
Did you know that watermelon and white radish are examples of "fire and water are incompatible"? Traditional Chinese medicine tells us that the sexual taste of these two guys is very different, and eating them together may cause diarrhea and stomach pain. I've experienced it myself, and it's really not covered, especially in the cold winter, this is more likely to happen.
Momordica charantia
Bitter gourd is cold and bitter, and eating it with white radish may cause spleen and stomach dysfunction, causing abdominal distension, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. What's more, the effect of the ingredients is canceled out, and the moisturizing effect of white radish may be diluted by the bitter taste of bitter gourd, which is not the result we want!
crab
Let's talk about crabs. Crabs are slippery and conflict with the spicy taste of white radish, which can easily cause diarrhea or abdominal pain. In addition, some people may have an allergic reaction to crabs, and eating with white radish may increase the risk of allergies. This is a cautious "sworn enemy"!
Today I want to share a must-have delicacy in winter - radish and shredded meat soup! The elderly and children like it, the kind that has been drunk up, let's learn to make it together!
【Shredded radish soup】
[Ingredients]: white radish, foreleg meat, leeks, ginger and garlic, red pepper
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
First, peel the white radish, remove the head and tail, cut it into thin slices with an oblique knife, and then cut it into thin strips with a knife. Remove the fat from the fresh forelegs, cut them into thin slices, marinate for a while, add the light soy sauce and starch and stir well. The key to this step is the way the radish is cut, the thin slices better retain their sweet taste, and the marinated meat slices add tenderness to the meat.
Step 2: Prepare the side dishes
Next, cut the leek segments, slice the ginger and cut it into thin strips, slice the garlic, shred the red pepper, and prepare the side dishes. This step requires attention to the meticulousness of the knife work, and the uniform side dishes can make the whole dish richer in taste.
Step 3: Blanching treatment
In boiling water, blanch the white radish for one minute to remove the spicy taste and make the soup sweeter. Drain and set aside. The blanching treatment here is to reduce the pungency of the white radish while retaining its sweetness and enhancing the taste of the soup.
Step 4: Stir-fry meat and vegetables
Now, heat the pan with cold oil, stir-fry the minced garlic and ginger, add the marinated meat slices and shredded radish and stir-fry to bring out the sweet taste of the radish. This step needs to pay attention to the heat, and stir-frying quickly can better lock in the tenderness of the meat.
Step 5: Cook the finished product
Finally, add an appropriate amount of water, add salt, bring to a boil, add red peppers, leeks, and then add sliced cooked meat. Finally, add chicken essence to enhance the flavor, and it is ready to serve. The key to this step is to know how well the meat and vegetables are cooked to ensure nutrition without losing taste.
The key to winter health is to eat the right food. White radish is a good thing, but it also has its own "rivals", and if you are not careful, you may not be sick. By understanding these taboos, we can make a more scientific diet and live a healthy and warm winter. Don't forget to keep some white radish at home, but don't forget its "sworn enemy" so that food and health coexist!
