Quinoa is a grain with complete protein. It is also rated as one of the top ten good grains in China. Others include: whole wheat flour, brown rice, oats, millet, corn, buckwheat, sorghum rice, highland barley, and barley. I usually like to mix all kinds of grains and rice to cook, so that the taste will be better and the stomach and intestines will be more acceptable.

Shrimp, low-fat and high-protein, you all know that fresh shrimp is not easy to peel, but in the picture I described my own method of peeling shrimp, of course, if you have an easier way, you can leave it in the comments. Vegetables are an indispensable part of every meal. Here I used dark green leafy vegetables-broccoli. Of course, the correct way of eating requires diversification of ingredients. Don't always eat one or two kinds of vegetables. You should eat everything and change your diet every day.

Don’t say anything else, just do it!

2. Soak the quinoa for half an hour to remove the astringency. Add 1.3 times the amount of water and cook for 15-20 minutes. If it is cooked with rice, it can be cooked for the same time as usual. Of course, if you don't eat quinoa, you can also use other grains. They are all healthy thriller grains.

3. Marinate the shrimp with some salt, cooking wine, and starch for ten minutes.

4. If you buy shrimps, marinate them directly. If you are buying fresh shrimps, you will have to trouble your little hands with a little hard work! There are many ways to peel shrimps. I did this: use a toothpick to pick out the shrimp thread from the second section of the shrimp, remove the shrimp head and feet, cut the belly, put it in the refrigerator and freeze for more than 20 minutes, and then it is ready to peel.

5. While the shrimp is marinating, cut the red pepper into sections;
Tear the broccoli florets and blanch them in boiling water with cooking oil for one minute.

6. Heat the pot over medium-high heat, add a little oil, sauté the ginger and garlic, then add the shrimp and stir fry quickly.

7. After the shrimp changes color, add broccoli and stir fry for a while.

8. Pour in the mixed sauce and stir-fry evenly. The sauce is made by mixing 20g of sweet chili sauce, 10g of soy sauce, 10g of rice vinegar, 1g of salt, and 3g of corn starch. The stir-frying can be served on a plate.
