How to cook cowpeas to make them more delicious? Today I will introduce several common ways to cook cowpeas:

Mushroom and Beans

raw material:

400 grams of beans, 75 grams of mushrooms, 40 grams of oil, 2 grams each of chopped onion and ginger, 5 grams of soy sauce, 15 grams of cooking wine, 2 grams of salt, 5 grams of MSG, 30 grams of water starch, 5 grams of sesame oil, and appropriate amount of soup.

Production process:

1. Remove the tendons from the beans, clean them, cut them into 3 cm long pieces, and blanch them in boiling water. Select and clean the mushrooms, remove the stems, and cut them into pieces.

2. Put oil, onion and ginger in a pan, add cooking wine, pour in beans, mushrooms, soy sauce, salt, MSG, soup, cook until cooked, add starch, drizzle with sesame oil, and serve. Key to operation: beans contain saponin, which can easily cause poisoning if not heated enough, so pay special attention to the heat when cooking.

Nutritional value:

Beans - Legume vegetables mainly include lentils, beans, peas, cowpeas, etc. Most people only know that they contain more high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids (good fats), and their mineral and vitamin content is also higher than other vegetables.

Mushrooms - The fruiting bodies of mushrooms are rich in nutrients, most of which contain more than 30% protein, which is higher than that of ordinary vegetables and fruits. Take shiitake mushrooms as an example, the protein in shiitake mushrooms contains at least 18 kinds of amino acids.

Cold beans

1. Cut beans into strips and blanch them in hot water. Some people like to blanch them before cutting them, but raw beans are prone to poisoning, so it is better to cut them first and then blanch them for safety;

2. Take out the beans and cool them in cold water; add salt, sugar and garlic and mix well;

3. Heat a little oil in a pan and add a few peppercorns to make peppercorn oil. Pick out the peppercorns and throw them away, then pour the oil into the beans;

4. Add a little vinegar, chicken essence and sesame oil and mix well. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on it after serving.

If you like spicy food, you can add dried chili peppers when frying pepper oil, but be careful not to burn it.
