What effect does ginger have after steaming?

Ginger is steamed in a pot. I didn't expect it to be so effective. I learned a lot when I first saw this practice.

As we all know, ginger is a seasoning in our kitchen. As a condiment, it has a good deodorization effect. So when we cook meat and fish, we can't do without ginger.

Speaking of ginger, you will think of an old saying: "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer." Ginger has a good health care function. Because of the hot weather in summer, people often stay under air conditioning or often eat some cold drinks to lower their body temperature. This will lose our yang, leading to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, especially prone to diarrhea. Therefore, drinking a little ginger soup at this time can play the role of dispelling cold and expelling wind, warming the stomach and stopping diarrhea.

Whether in summer or winter, you should eat more ginger. Below I will share with you a very healthy home-cooked practice of ginger, which is very delicious whether it is served with porridge or noodles.

The key step in cooking this dish 1 is to choose fresh ginger.

First, we can look at the surface of ginger. Generally, there are some wrinkles on the epidermis of ginger. If it is fresh and good ginger, the wrinkles on it will be more obvious, and we will feel rough when we touch it with our hands.

Next, let's take a look at ginger buds. If there are some ginger buds on ginger, it means that this ginger is live ginger and relatively fresh ginger. However, it should be noted here that if the bamboo shoots are too long, you can't buy them. Because of that kind of ginger, more than half of its nutrients have been absorbed by ginger buds, and the loss of nutrients is very serious. So choose the kind of ginger that just grows small buds. This kind of ginger is not only nutritious, but also tastes better.

Let's get started. We pour all the ginger we bought into a pot, add water, and then brush the ginger skin with a toothbrush. If there are some grooves in ginger, we can't clean it. We can break it and clean it again.

After cleaning ginger, put it in a ventilated place to control moisture. Then cut into thin slices. Be sure to cut it thin. The thinner, the better. Note that ginger skin cannot be removed, because ginger meat is hot and ginger skin is cold, and the combination of the two can play a comprehensive role.

After cutting the ginger, put it in a steamer and spread it all out. Be sure to spread it flat, so that it will be heated evenly. Then boil the water and steam for three minutes. Steamed ginger can not only stimulate its nutrients, but also taste less spicy and pungent.

After all the ginger is steamed, take it out and dry the water on the surface of the ginger. Then, put it into an oil-free and water-free sealed jar and add a little rock sugar or sugar to relieve the spicy taste of ginger. Then pour some balsamic vinegar, the amount of balsamic vinegar is just less than ginger, and then cover it and seal it.

Because the weather is cold now, you can eat directly in your room at room temperature for three days. If it is summer, it should be kept in the refrigerator.
