❤️ Hello everyone, this is Ah Fang loves food, and continues to share delicious recipes and tutorials every day, and may happiness always be with you.

Before and after the rainy season, the weather is getting warmer and everything recovers. At this time, middle-aged and elderly people especially need to pay attention to dietary conditioning, not only to supplement nutrition, but also to avoid too greasy or cold food. Today, I would like to recommend four home-cooked dishes suitable for spring - salt-baked chicken thighs, fried tofu balls, garlic crab fillet and honey-glazed chicken thigh rolls. Not only are these dishes delicious, but they also help keep your family energized during this warmer and colder season.

1. Salt-baked chicken thighs

Ingredients: chicken thighs, coarse sea salt, ginger, green onions, cooking wine

Method:

(1) Wash the chicken thighs and make a few cuts on the surface to absorb the flavor;

(2) Spread a layer of coarse sea salt in a pot, add chicken thighs, add ginger slices, green onions and cooking wine;

(3) Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.

This dish is characterized by a charred skin and tender meat. The salt-baked method not only locks in the moisture of the chicken, but also adds a unique salty flavor.

2. Fried tofu balls

Ingredients: old tofu, minced pork, chopped green onion, minced ginger, egg

Method:

(1) Puree the tofu, mix with the pork filling, add chopped green onion, minced ginger and egg and stir well;

(2) Roll into small balls by hand and wrap them in a layer of breadcrumbs;

(3) Fry in a pan of hot oil until golden brown and crispy.

Tofu meatballs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich taste. The vegetable protein in tofu and the animal protein in pork are matched to provide a balanced nutrition.

3. Garlic crab fillet

Ingredients: Crab fillet, garlic, chili, light soy sauce, oyster sauce

Method:

(1) Cut the crab fillet into sections, slice the garlic and cut the chili pepper into rings;

(2) Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry garlic slices and chili rings;

(3) Add the crab fillet and stir-fry evenly, add light soy sauce and oyster sauce to taste;

(4) Stir-fry until the crab fillet changes color.

This dish is rich in garlic, and the crab fillet is tender and springy. The garlic aroma not only enhances the flavor, but also makes the whole dish more appetizing.

4. Honey chicken thigh rolls

Ingredients: Chicken thighs, honey, soy sauce, ground black pepper

Method:

(1) Thinly slice the chicken thighs and marinate in honey, soy sauce and black pepper for 30 minutes;

(2) Roll the marinated chicken thighs into rolls;

(3) Fry in a pan until golden brown on both sides.

The honey chicken thigh roll is sweet and salty, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The sweetness of honey neutralizes the saltiness of soy sauce and softens the whole dish.

Nutrition Lessons

Take salt-baked chicken thighs, for example, chicken is a good source of high-quality protein. At the same time, chicken is rich in phosphorus and iron. The tofu in the tofu balls is rich in vegetable protein and calcium, and when paired with pork filling, the nutrition is more comprehensive. Both of these dishes are suitable for the daily consumption of middle-aged and elderly people.

The rain festival is not only an important node for farming, but also a reminder to cherish the current good season.

Spring is coming, and may everyone's life be as colorful as these four dishes. Whether it is a family reunion or a solo taste, you can feel the warmth and beauty of life.
