As the elderly get older, they need to pay more attention to their diet. Although big fish and meat are delicious, excessive intake may lead to an increase in the burden on the body. Conversely, eating more vegetables is a healthier option. The vegetables in a vegetarian diet are not only nutritious but also easy to digest and help maintain good health.
I noticed that my grandparents usually prefer to eat vegetarian dishes and are healthier. So every time I go back, I make a few seasonal vegetables for my grandparents to eat, and they all say that my cooking is delicious.
Here are 4 "healthy dishes" for you in winter:
Braised winter bamboo shoots in oil
Peel the bamboo shoots and cut them into small pieces. Boil water in a pot, pour in the winter bamboo shoots and blanch for 3 minutes to remove the oxalic acid in the winter bamboo shoots.
Boil the oil in the pot, add minced garlic and fry until fragrant, pour in the winter basket, add 15 rock sugar, and stir-fry over low heat until the surface of the winter basket is slightly charred. Pour in a small amount of boiling water, add 0 tablespoons of dark soy sauce to adjust the color, simmer for 0 minutes on low heat, turn to high heat to reduce the juice and sprinkle some flowers out of the pot.
Peanuts tossed with spinach
Wash the spinach and remove the roots. Boil the water in the pot, put in the spinach and cook, then take out the water and set aside.
First of all, add 1 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 0 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 0 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, half a tablespoon of sugar, half a tablespoon of sesame oil, a little chicken essence and salt in a bowl and stir well.
Put the spinach in a dish, add peanuts, minced garlic and millet spicy, pour in the sauce, and mix evenly.
Braised winter melon
Wash the winter melon, peel it and cut it into thick slices. Stir-fry the hot oil, add the onion, ginger and millet until fragrant. Pour in the winter melon and stir-fry, add 1 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 0 tablespoons of oyster sauce, half a tablespoon of dark soy sauce, a small amount of salt and monosodium glutamate to taste.
Pour in a small half bowl of water, simmer for 8-0 minutes, then pour in starch water to collect the juice and remove from the pot.
Stir-fried mushrooms with green peppers
Clean the green peppers, remove the seeds and cut into shreds, clean the mushrooms, cut them into thin slices, blanch the mushrooms in a pot for 1 minutes, and pick them up for later use.
Stir-fry the minced garlic and millet in the hot oil, then pour in the mushrooms. Add 1 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 0 tablespoons of oyster sauce and half a spoon of salt sauce and stir-fry for a while, then add green peppers and stir-fry until cooked.
In general, the diet of the elderly should be based on light, easily digestible foods, moderate intake of vegetables and fruits, and avoid too much greasy and high-calorie food. With such dietary adjustments, they can maintain their good health and enjoy a better time for longer.
