Shan Yao Carrot Pork Rib Soup is not only appetizing, but also replenishes energy and increases body resistance. It is a type of pork rib soup that has the added nutritional value of shan yao (Chinese yam). Drinking this soup regularly can treat habitual miscarriage. Now let me teach you how to make Shan Yao Carrot Pork Rib Soup.
[Ingredients]
400g pork ribs, 300g shan yao (Chinese yam), 100g carrots, some red dates, some ginger, some spring onions
[Method]
1. Soak the pork ribs in water for 20 minutes to remove blood. Peel the shan yao and carrots with a knife. Use an appropriate amount of red dates. The sticky substance on shan yao is good, so don't wash it too much. I used cut dried dates, but if you have large dates, it's better to cut them into pieces.
2. Put cold water in a pot and add the pork ribs. Bring to a boil. It's important to use cold water, otherwise the texture of the meat won't be good.
3. Remove the boiled pork ribs, cut the carrots and shan yao into pieces, and pat the ginger. 4. Put the pork ribs, shan yao, carrots, and some red dates and ginger in a pressure cooker, add enough water to cover the ingredients. 5. Cover the pot, place it on an induction cooker, select the steam cooking mode, and set the time to 30 minutes. 6. Remove from heat, add an appropriate amount of salt and spring onions. It smells so good and there's soup, what more could you ask for?
[Health Benefits]
Carrots, also known as yellow carrot or red carrot, have a beautiful color, crisp and juicy texture, and a sweet aroma. They have multiple health benefits and are known as "little ginseng".
[Ingredient Introduction]
Carrots: Carrots are rich in carotene, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, folic acid, calcium, and dietary fiber, which are almost comparable to various vitamin pills. In addition, carrots contain a large amount of phosphorus, which is an important component of brain cells and bone marrow cells. In every 500g of carrots, there is 140g of phosphorus, 305mg of calcium, and 35g of sugar.
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which promotes normal growth and reproduction, maintains epithelial tissues, prevents respiratory infections, maintains normal vision, and treats night blindness and dry eyes. Eating carrots can reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer in women. Carrots also contain potassium succinate, which helps prevent arteriosclerosis, lower cholesterol, and prevent and treat hypertension. Carotene can eliminate free radicals that cause aging, and the nutrients such as B vitamins and vitamin C have moisturizing and anti-aging effects on the skin.
Pork ribs are suitable for those with qi and blood deficiency and poor appetite; those with damp-heat and phlegm stagnation should consume with caution; those who are obese or have high blood lipid levels should not eat too much. Pork ribs have the functions of nourishing yin, moisturizing dryness, nourishing essence, and replenishing blood; they are suitable for those with qi and blood deficiency and poor appetite.
[Food Taboos]
1. Pork ribs: Pork should not be consumed with Wu Mei, licorice, crucian carp, shrimp, pigeon meat, snails, almonds, donkey meat, sheep liver, coriander, soft-shelled turtle, water chestnut, buckwheat, quail meat, or beef. Avoid consuming large amounts of tea after eating pork.
2. Carrots: Do not consume in excess. Consuming large amounts of carotene can cause changes in the pigment of the skin, turning it orange-yellow.
3. Shan yao: Do not consume with Gan Sui (a Chinese herb); do not take with alkaline medications. Shan yao will change color after peeling, but soaking it in water with a little vinegar will prevent discoloration.
