The noble quality of the lotus that is "out of silt but not stained, clear ripples but not demon" has always been my favorite. It is not only a representative of holiness, but also a symbol of happiness, representing harmony and beauty. I wish every family can be harmonious and happy, and always "have home, love and good food"

Chestnut lotus chicken chestnuts are made by steaming the minced chicken with the minced chestnuts wrapped with the minced chicken, and then topped with thin gorgon hooked with clear chicken broth. The shape is beautiful and the taste is delicious. Because it looks like a lotus, I named it "chestnut lotus chicken"

Chestnuts are also a kind of food that I particularly like. Not only are they rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, they can prevent and treat hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis and other diseases. It is a good tonic for anti-aging and prolonging life. . Moreover, it is rich in vitamin C, which can maintain the normal functions of teeth, bones, blood vessels and muscles. Regular food can nourish the stomach and spleen, strengthen the kidneys and muscles, and promote blood circulation and stop bleeding.

Chestnuts are suitable for cooking with chicken. Chestnuts have the effects of nourishing the stomach, invigorating the spleen, and strengthening the kidneys and muscles. The protein content of chicken is relatively high, and it is easily absorbed and used by the human body. Therefore, the combination of the two enhances the nutritional effect. The sweetness of the powder and the deliciousness of the chicken complement each other.

The New Year is almost here, and you will be happy if you cook a plate of beautiful chestnut lotus chicken at the family banquet! Eat happiness. "

Tips:
Poetry heart phrase:

1: The chestnut velvet should not be too dry, but it should not be too thin, otherwise it will not be easy to operate. After the chestnut velvet is stirred, it can be placed in the refrigerator for a while.

2: Remember to put a thin layer of oil on the spoon to make it easier to take off the spoon after steaming.

3: When thickening, pour a little oil before serving to make the juice brighter and more thorough.
