How to make yellow croaker and tofu

1. After cleaning the yellow croaker, wipe off the moisture, and make two oblique cuts on both sides of the fish (deep enough to get close to the bones but not cut through); cut the tofu into small pieces, cut the green onions into sections, and cut the ginger into shreds for later use

2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a hot pan, add the yellow croaker and fry until both sides are golden brown.

3. Add scallions and ginger and sauté until fragrant

4. Add soybean paste, other seasonings and water (cover the fish) and bring to a boil.

5-6. Add tofu and bring to a boil, then turn to medium-low heat and continue cooking for about 15 minutes until the soup is slightly dry (it doesn’t need to be very dry, as tofu and fish soup is great with rice)

Tips:

The fish meat is very tender. When frying, just turn it over once. Don't turn it over and over and break the fish. During the cooking process, just use a spoon to pour the soup on the fish and tofu to make them taste good.

Why is it said that eating fish and tofu together is the best way to supplement calcium?

"First, the proteins in fish and tofu are incomplete. Tofu protein lacks methionine and lysine, but these two components are more abundant in fish; fish protein has less phenylalanine, but tofu has more. The combination of the two can complement each other.

Secondly, eating fish and tofu together can help the body absorb the calcium in tofu. Although tofu contains a lot of calcium, it is not conducive to human absorption when eaten alone. The rich vitamin D in fish has certain biological activity and can increase the body's calcium absorption rate by more than 20 times. Children who are prone to rickets, women who are prone to osteoporosis, and the elderly are good for eating more fish and tofu. "——The above is from the Internet
