Stewed Pork Exhibition with Fresh Figs

Main functions: clearing away heat, promoting fluid production and soothing the throat, invigorating the spleen, appetizing and clearing the intestines

Suitable for: People who stay up late in the summer and get angry.

Ingredients:

3 fresh figs, 250g pork belly, 1 candied date (for 2-3 people)

Preparation method:

Wash 3 fresh figs, no need to peel them, slice them into slices and set aside. Wash the pork belly and cut into large pieces. Put the pork belly and candied dates into the soup pot, boil for about 30 minutes, add the sliced ??figs, boil for another 15 minutes, and add salt to taste.

Usually we use dried figs to make soup, but this time we used fresh figs. Because figs are a fruit that cannot be stored well, they could only be shipped out after being dried in the sun. Fresh figs are relatively rare in Guangzhou. But now with the development of transportation and preservation technology, fresh figs can often be seen on the market, and the price is not expensive. So I tried using fresh figs to make soup. I didn’t expect it tasted better, so I wanted to recommend it to everyone.

Summer is here, and everyone likes to eat some fruits to cool down and quench their thirst. However, many fruits are actually relatively cold foods. Some people with weak spleen and stomach have no connection with fruits. Including the figs we recommend to everyone this time, they themselves are also cooler. But if we use it to make soup, after heating it, the coldness will not be so prominent. Therefore, people with weak spleen and stomach may wish to cook fruits and eat them, which will only result in the loss of some vitamins. However, beneficial ingredients such as potassium, pectin, chlorogenic acid, and flavonoids in fruits can still be retained after heating. It's better to cook it like this than not eat the fruit at all.

Figs themselves can clear away heat, promote fluid production and soothe the throat, and can also strengthen the spleen, stimulate the appetite and clear the intestines. Summer is a time when it is easy to get angry due to the hot weather. If you stay up late, it will be more likely to cause people to get angry and cause discomfort such as sore throat and constipation. But the body is relatively weak and cold, so it cannot be too clear of heat. Then drinking this fig soup is perfect at this time.

Tips: If you do not cut the figs, you can stew the figs with lean meat and candied dates. The stewed figs will be sweeter and more juicy. If you cut the figs, the taste of the soup will be more fragrant. Just put it in at the end and roll it for a while.

Acne, also known as acne, is caused by imbalance of sebaceous gland secretion and bacterial infection. People with oily skin are more likely to appear. Cleaning the skin, choosing appropriate skin care products and cosmetics, avoiding the abuse of hormone drugs, and paying attention to the mood (especially for girls), regular work and rest, and reasonable diet can all play a preventive role. We all know that we should avoid fried, warm, and spicy foods. We should also drink less milk, avoid sweets, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat appropriate amounts of fish and seafood. Vitamin C and A help to improve skin condition. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, carotene, and lycopene. Adding lemon slices can help protect vitamin C. Eating Omega-3 fatty acids can help fight skin inflammation. In addition to marine fish, seaweed, etc., which are rich in Omega-3, sea bass also contains it, and sea bass is also rich in zinc.
