I like to eat dried cowpea very much. I can’t dry it by myself without the sun on my balcony. My relatives brought a big bag back from the countryside, soaked it in water and stewed it into the meat, so that it really sticks to the autumn fat. Dried cowpea absorbs the meat and tastes more delicious than the meat inside. It is fresh enough without chicken essence, and the meat is crispy and not rotten or fatty. Dried cowpea is more delicious. In the end, there is no soup left.
1. Cowpea provides high-quality protein that is easy to digest and absorb, appropriate amount of carbohydrates, multiple vitamins, trace elements, etc., which can supplement the body's signature nutrients.
2. The B vitamins contained in cowpea can maintain normal digestive gland secretion and gastrointestinal peristalsis, inhibit cholinease activity, help digestion, and increase appetite.
3. The vitamin C contained in cowpea can promote the synthesis of antibodies and improve the body's antiviral effect.
4. The phospholipids of cowpea can promote insulin secretion and participate in sugar metabolism. It is an ideal food for diabetics.

Tips:
1. Dried cowpea should be soaked in advance until it is soft. Dried cowpea absorbs the mellowness of the meat, and makes the meat not too greasy, which is particularly delicious;
2. 1 None of us eat fatty meat, so use a little oil to smooth the pan to ensure that the meat does not stick to the pan.
