Spring is the season of high incidence of colds. Some people with low resistance can easily catch colds if they don't pay attention. There are many people around who need to take medicine and injections at every turn. In fact, our body's resistance is the best "medicine" against the virus. So, what if you improve your immunity? How to eat to improve immunity? Today, Meimei recommends a delicious food that is especially suitable for spring. It is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition. It is a "protein treasure house"! Only 2 yuan per catty, fluffy and refreshing, more delicious than cakes!
To improve the body's resistance, the key is to replenish immunity in a timely manner, which constitutes the basic nutrient of Chinese medicine-protein.
However, due to the problem of dietary habits, the protein intake of Chinese residents is not scientific. The Chinese Nutrition Society survey pointed out that the protein intake of Chinese people is seriously insufficient.

Especially when a person gets older, various body functions are reduced, blood lipids and blood sugar are unstable after eating "fine", and constipation is easy to eat. "Rough" eating is difficult to digest.
To supplement a protein-balanced diet with balanced nutrition, in addition to various animal foods, chicken, duck and fish, the best way is actually to eat more high-protein plant foods.
The protagonist of our delicious dish today, peas, is the most suitable ingredient for spring. Peas are rich in nutrients, with 7.2 grams of protein per 100 grams and 80 kcal of calories, which is equivalent to the nutritional value of the same amount of tofu.
Pea is rich in various nutrients needed by the human body, especially high-quality protein. The ratio of amino acids produced by the decomposition of this type of protein is in line with the ratio of human protein and amino acids. It has high biological value and high utilization in the human body, which can be used for the growth of the body. Development provides high-quality protein and promotes growth. It can also promote the body's recovery and disease resistance.
Scientists have found that pea protein isolate is particularly suitable for diet foods, because the two amino acids in pea protein isolate-lysine and arginine are particularly high in content. Lysine can keep the body slim, and arginine can reduce fat while reducing fat. Can improve muscle mass.
Spring is when a large number of peas are on the market. Yesterday the supermarket was engaged in activities, and it was only two yuan per catty. I bought a large bag and used it to make all kinds of delicious food these days.
Today’s pea cake, the amount of peas is very large, the powder is put as little as possible, and it only serves as a sticky lotus. The red dates are used for seasoning, refreshing and delicious, and the calories are particularly low. You should eat more if you lose weight. Don't be afraid!

Ingredients

350g Fresh Peas
40g Flour
A few Red Dates
A handful Raisin
2g Baking Soda
a little Vegetable Oil

Emerald Refreshing Pea Cake

1. The amount of fresh peas can also be replaced with peeled yellow peas. Pick out the bad beans and wash them. If you don’t have fresh peas, you can use dried beans, which should be soaked for 24 hours in advance.

2. Add water and boil for about five minutes. When cooking, put a few drops of cooking oil and a pinch of baking soda in the pot to make the peas more beautiful in color.

3. Quickly remove the peas and put them in cold water, and pass the water several times to pick out the peeled skins. Perfectionists can also squeeze off the unpeeled ones and control the water.

4. The red dates are pitted and cut into small granules. The raisins are cleaned and chopped slightly for later use.

5. Find a larger pot, pour the peas into it, add raisins and chopped red dates according to your preference, if you don’t like it, you can just put sugar. The taste of our house is relatively light, so without sugar, the light sweetness of red dates and raisins is delicious.

6. Sprinkle 40 grams of flour into the peas. Don't have too much flour. Don't use chopsticks or any tools. Use your hands to hold the pots up and down, so that the peas are covered with a thin layer of flour.

7. Find a mold of the right size. I use a normal-sized sealed box. You can also use a bowl or basin directly. The inner wall of the container is brushed with a thin layer of cooking oil. Pour the well-mixed peas into the box, press firmly with your hands or with a spoon, don't use too much force, keep the peas intact, and the cut section is more beautiful. If you touch your hands, just dip your hands in some water.

8. Bring the water in the steamer to a boil, put the mold in, steam for 20 minutes on high heat, take it out after steaming, let cool and cut into pieces before eating.

Tips:
This pastry will taste better with fresh peas.
This pea cake can be made into the original flavor with just a little sugar, or it can be made into your favorite flavor with various nuts and dried fruits. It would be great if you add some salt to make it salty!
