Why did you choose a broiler?
Director Zhao told reporters that a broiler refers to a cockerel that can't crow, but has just matured but has not been bred; Or a cockerel that weighs 1 kg to 1.5 kg in three months and has never been bred. Later, there was a special breed called Broiler. Director Zhao explained that the reason for choosing Broiler Chicken is that Broiler Chicken contains certain growth hormone, which has a good tonic effect on children in growth and development period and middle-aged and elderly people with decreased hormone level, even young people and those with weak constitution are not bad to try.
Besides, hens, ducks, etc. are the best choices for tonic in summer. Director Zhao said that the traditional dietotherapy in China thinks that chicken has the effects of warming the middle warmer, invigorating qi, replenishing essence and filling marrow, and people with poor appetite, excessive sweating, weak body and emaciation can improve their symptoms after eating it in summer, which has the effect of appetizing and strengthening the body. Duck meat is cool, which has the effects of nourishing yin and enriching blood, benefiting qi and promoting diuresis. It is especially suitable for people with dry throat and thirst and reduced diet, especially for people with hot constitution to make up for it in the summer. Pigeons are flat in nature, and have the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, benefiting qi and blood, expelling wind and detoxifying, tonifying both qi and blood, and calming the nerves, which is especially suitable for mental workers and neurasthenia.
From the nutritional point of view, the nutritional components of poultry meat are mainly protein, followed by fat, microorganisms and minerals. Compared with livestock meat, poultry meat is a low-fat and high-protein food, and its protein is also a high-quality protein.
How to cook
Broiler soup: Choose a whole broiler about 2-3 kg (preferably no more than 3 kg), chop it, and then add black fungus, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and so on.
Cordyceps old duck soup: an old duck is cleaned, 5 ~10 pieces of Cordyceps are stuffed into the belly of the duck, and some onions, ginger, cooking wine, etc. are added to make soup or steamed.
Stir-fried edamame with diced chicken: Dice chicken, stir-fry with appropriate amount of edamame oil, and optionally add diced mushrooms. The combination of chicken and edamame has the advantage of combining animal protein with plant protein, which makes the nutrition richer and more comprehensive.
These are classic cooking methods, and steaming and cooking soup are the best ways to preserve the nutrition of food. As for those people who have poor appetite and can't eat chicken and duck, Director Zhao suggested that it is a good way to chop or mince the meat and wrap it in jiaozi and wonton.
In addition, it can also be cooked with Chinese herbal medicines such as yam, codonopsis pilosula and angelica sinensis, which can be eaten by people with weak qi and blood, and the dietotherapy effect is better.
matters need attention
Hot spices should not be used in summer: star anise, fennel, cinnamon, pepper and other spices are pungent products, which are used in food cooking in summer to help heat get angry.
You can't just drink chicken soup: many people think that chicken soup is the most nutritious, but this is actually a wrong view. Chicken soup contains water-soluble or fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, but it lacks protein, the main nutrient of chicken. Therefore, you must eat chicken or duck, not just soup.
Cancer patients should not eat chicken: Chinese dietotherapy believes that chicken is hair and can induce diseases, so cancer patients should not eat it.
Buy grass chicken and grass duck: chickens and ducks can be eaten 2 ~ 3 times a week in the summer, and it is advisable to buy grass chicken and grass that are free-range.
