I like to eat pearl balls, without cooking and steaming, using the most healthy cooking and steaming method, away from oily smoke, very light, but without losing the original taste of the natural essence of the delicious ingredients. But looking at the pork belly is still a bit greasy, let’s try something healthier. Mix with tofu and minced meat. This way the tofu can help to remove part of the greasy, and it won’t taste greasy.

The rice on the outer layer of pearl balls varies. Usually, glutinous rice is wrapped on the outside, but in order to eat healthier, red rice is also a good choice. Red rice is rich in starch and plant protein, which can replenish consumed energy and maintain normal body temperature; it is rich in many nutrients, of which iron is the most abundant, so it has the effect of replenishing blood and preventing anemia, and has anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. Efficacy; moreover, eating more whole grains also helps digestion, excretes toxins, and is more conducive to our weight loss.

The more you eat, the more FIT.

Tips:
