Nourishing yin and cooling blood. Tortoise, also known as tuanyu and soft-shelled turtle. People call soft-shelled turtle noble fish in aquatic products, which has seven flavors: cow, sheep, chicken, deer, pig, frog and fish.

The contents of protein and carbohydrate per100g of Carassius auratus were 65438±05g and 26g, respectively. Soft-shelled turtle is cold in nature, which is a tonic for nourishing yin and can tonify kidney and strengthen bones. It is most symptomatic for internal heat due to yin deficiency, night sweats, flushing on cheeks, feverish sensation of five nerves, dry cough with little phlegm, blood in sputum and low fever after tuberculosis. The data show that no cancer cells have been found in turtles so far. Cancer cells were injected into the tortoise to see what happened, but they did not survive. The reason is that the turtle itself contains anticancer substances, which can prevent blood vessels from supplying blood to the tumor and make it die. The back shell of a turtle is called "turtle shell", which is salty and flat. It is a medicine for softening and resolving hard mass, and can be used to treat hepatosplenomegaly, hot flashes due to yin deficiency, malaria and other diseases.

In addition, according to medical research, crucian carp contains an important substance that can resist the aging of human blood vessels. Regular consumption can lower blood cholesterol and is beneficial to patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease. Proper consumption of soft-shelled turtle is beneficial to the recovery of maternal body and improve the quality of breast milk. Turtle also has certain anti-cancer effect and the function of improving the immunity of the body. Turtle contains iron, folic acid and other substances, which can enrich blood and restore fatigue. The fat of soft-shelled turtle is composed of unsaturated fatty acids, which will be digested and decomposed quickly after being absorbed by human body. Unlike pork, fat is a saturated fatty acid, which will solidify into lard when it is cold, and it is not easy to be absorbed and decomposed by the human body. Eating too much will gradually accumulate in the human body and become fat over time, so eating soft-shelled turtle will not get fat, but it will be very beneficial to the body ~ ~
Making:
1) After the turtle is slaughtered, the internal organs are removed, washed, cut into pieces, blanched in a boiling water pot, buttered, washed away, put into a tasting pot, pour clear soup, and add seasonings such as sliced chicken, ham, salt, yellow wine, scallion and ginger;
2) Cover the seasoned soft-shelled turtle, steam for about half an hour, leave the fire, take out the onion knot, and serve with ginger slices.
Stewed turtle
Ingredients: a turtle (about 500g is best), ham, dried mushrooms, ginger, garlic, onion, Shaoxing wine, salt and monosodium glutamate.
Method: (1) Turn the tortoise over, with his back to the ground and his stomach facing the sky. When it turns over and stretches its neck to the longest, it quickly cuts at the root of the neck with a sharp knife and then raises it to control the blood. Then put it in hot water with a water temperature of about 70~80 degrees, and scald it for 2~5 minutes (the specific time and temperature depend on the tenderness of the turtle).
(2) After cooling (those who can't wait to soak in cold water to cool down), cut a cross knife in the belly of the turtle with scissors or a sharp knife, dig out the internal organs, and slaughter the limbs and tail tips. The key is to remove the butter from your legs.
(3) Gently scrape off the black and dirty skin of the turtle. Be careful not to scratch or scrape off the skirt (also called flying edge, which is located around the turtle and is the most fragrant and beautiful part of the turtle). Scrape the black skin and wash it. Even if the cleaning is basically completed.
(4) After the soft-shelled turtle is treated, put it in a bowl, spread ham slices, and put the mushrooms, ginger, garlic and onion together. Finally, add cooking wine.
(5) Then it takes time to stew, depending on the size of the turtle. One hour is almost enough, and 60 minutes is enough.
Raise a little objection. According to our local eating method and mothers' experience, soft-shelled turtle should not be slaughtered in the usual way, because the blood and even urine of soft-shelled turtle are the essence of its body, so generally killing is a waste! Its medicinal value does exist. I don't mean to brag about it. You can go to the website of Chinese medicine and health care.
Theoretically, we should do this: after buying the turtle, put it in clear water for a while and let it spit it out. Wash it before killing it, then put the water just enough to drown the turtle shell in the pot, cover the pot and cook it on low heat. When it swims slowly in it until it dies, it will pee in the pot. Then, take it out, let the blood flow out of the pot from the head (even if the blood is solidified), and then use chopsticks to find a good position from the back of the neck. ). Then chop it up (or don't chop it all and stew it for a long time) for processing. Remember, if you stew, don't pour out the soup with blood and urine just now, but join it and stew it together!
Also, if the butter is burnt, it can't be taken out! Because it is delicious and nutritious! Also, the turtle has something called a skirt, which is a layer (a circle) of soft waxy things on the outer ring under the shell. Don't scrape it out! You know, that thing is the best meat in the whole turtle. It's smoother than jelly and softer than glutinous rice! You must know this, hehe.
