I like to put some quinoa in the salad, but yesterday I posted on WeChat Moments, I suddenly found that many people don’t like to eat quinoa, I don’t know the reason, of course, some people with intensive phobias are not excluded. For ladies who love beauty, it is really a big loss if you don’t like eating quinoa, because one of its biggest nutritional characteristics is that it has a high proportion of germs and has nutritional activity, which is not available in many grains. It also contains 9 essential amino acids. It is especially worth mentioning that the content of lysine, which is lacking in general cereals, is high in quinoa. The quantity and quality of quinoa protein are comparable to skimmed milk and meat. And its low fat, low sugar, low starch, will not accumulate too much calories in the body, more importantly it is alkaline food, the blood oxygen content increases when the human body pH is higher than 7, which helps to consume fat. Therefore, it is not only the best choice for weight-loss vegetarians, but also a high-quality substitute for grains such as rice.
Of course, if you really don’t like to eat, you have to be strong. Someone said: One person’s food is another person’s poison. Instead of making you feel treated with poison, it is better to say that you are the greatest insult to the nature of food. But if you are an extremely health-conscious person, then try different ways of eating, boil or stir-fry, fail a few times, and feel sick a few times. Your stomach and tongue will always find a sense of mutual dependence and accept it.
The traditional way to eat quinoa is to eat it alone. When cooking the porridge, boil it in boiling water for about 10-15 minutes to make it swell and the grains to become translucent. This way of eating is really monotonous, so you don’t have to follow the tradition and mix it with other grains. , Such as: quinoa millet porridge, quinoa rice porridge, quinoa rice braised rice. Make special dishes with other ingredients, such as quinoa fruit salad, quinoa steamed meat, quinoa and red dates pumpkin porridge (beauty and detox), quinoa duck porridge, quinoa cake, quinoa cod. Quinoa has a refreshing aroma when it is especially cooked. It removes the fish and meat smell, such as: quinoa black fish soup, quinoa spinach tomato soup, quinoa chicken soup, quinoa tomato oxtail soup. Quinoa is just an ordinary food. Whether it can be turned into a delicacy, or let you accept it if you don’t accept it, depends on your own requirements.
For the quinoa salad I made today, I did not choose to use salad dressing as a condiment. One of the reasons is that the salad dressing itself is relatively greasy, and the quinoa feels like porridge and a little sticky in the mouth. If the person rummaged in the pot a few times, the appearance can be imagined. It is a lump, and even the desire to hold chopsticks is gone. So use vinaigrette or this sauce from Kyushu, Japan, which has a history of 150 years. The grapefruit salad sauce of the brand Youyixian is the first choice for the seasoning of this dish today, and it has a refreshing taste when paired with different seasonal waters.

Tips:

1 Fried salmon should be three or five mature. What is three-five mature, that is, the fried salmon stands up and sees an agate-colored transparent band in the middle, which not only preserves the freshness and tenderness of the fish, but also removes the fishy smell.
2 Before frying the salmon, it is best to marinate it in lemon juice and sea salt for a while so that it tastes better.
3 To prevent oxidation and blackening of avocado and mango, you can squeeze some lemon juice.
