summary

Mapo Tofu, I think most people like this dish very much. Delicious, spicy, and nutritious. Tofu with the following four kinds of food, more nutritious and healthy, conducive to the absorption of tofu. Let's take a look at the following.

Nutrition and delicacy of tofu

First: with some meat, protein absorption, soybean has a "plant meat" reputation, it is the best plant food protein food. Bean curd made of soybean, protein will not be bad. However, the content and proportion of protein and amino acids in tofu is not very reasonable, and it is not particularly suitable for human digestion and absorption. If we add some foods with high protein quality while eating tofu, it can complement tofu and make the protein of tofu better digested and absorbed by human body. And these high-quality protein foods are meat and eggs. Therefore, tofu with minced meat and tofu with preserved egg can make its protein better absorbed.

Second: add egg yolk, blood tofu, calcium supplement more, just like eating calcium tablets at the same time need to supplement vitamin D, eat tofu to supplement calcium, it is necessary to match some vitamin D rich food. Because in the process of calcium absorption and utilization, vitamin D plays a very important role. Although bean curd is very rich in calcium, North bean curd contains more calcium than the same amount of milk, it can play a more effective role when eating bean curd with food rich in vitamin D. Egg yolk is rich in vitamin D, so the delicious and smooth egg yolk tofu is an excellent dish for calcium supplement. The content of vitamin D in animal viscera, such as liver and blood, is also very high, so it is ideal to make "red and white tofu" with white tofu and blood tofu. In addition, chicken gizzard, pig liver and other animal viscera can also increase the calcium absorption of tofu.

Third: add kelp, laver, can more iodine, tofu not only can supplement nutrition, but also to prevent arteriosclerosis has a certain therapeutic effect. This is because tofu contains a substance called saponin, which can prevent the production of oxidized lipids that cause arteriosclerosis. However, saponins will bring a trouble, cause abnormal iodine excretion in the body, if long-term consumption may lead to iodine deficiency. Therefore, when eating tofu, add kelp, laver and other iodine rich seafood to cook together, and you'll have the best of both worlds.

matters needing attention

Although bean curd is rich in nutrition, it lacks dietary fiber. Eating it alone may cause constipation. And vegetables and fungus are rich in dietary fiber, just to make up for the shortcomings of tofu. In addition, Auricularia auricula and green vegetables also contain many antioxidants that can improve immunity and prevent diseases. When eaten with tofu, they have better disease resistance. It should be noted that the content of oxalic acid in spinach, amaranth and other green leafy vegetables is higher. Should be blanched first, and then cooked with tofu, so as not to affect the absorption of calcium in tofu.
