I like vegetables in good combination

Formed as a custom in my small family, after some holiday feasts mainly with meat and much protein content there should be usually some lighter meals of mainly vegetables and soya curd ingredients. These can be understood as essential breaks to balance our nutrition regime and keep us fresher with more components from nature that are vegetables and fruits, Through more and more experience by ourselves and our friends around, we have known better the top necessity of vegetables which are much cheaper than meat, fish, prawns or other high-protein food items but not at all less important in our human beings’ mental and physical activities. Moreover, vegetables are surely less harmful and more helpful in many cases, especially for high-blood-pressure cardio-vascular people.

Therefore, for myself at the age 40 as beginning of ageing, I have more highly considered the balanced and reasonable proportions between milk, sugar, meat, fish, prawns etc and more vegetables and fruits, more water amount in our daily meals so as to ensure enough protein, calcium and vitamin content and simultaneously to minimize cholesterol in blood. That’s why such images as the water spinach combined with some other items in the following dishes are also appealing to me:

Have you ever tried cooking this way ? First, fry soya curd into yellow color, take them out. Then, fry some garlic and onions until they turn yellow, next put spinach into the pan, stir evenly until it becomes soft but still keeping green, next put back the soya curd in, put in soya sauce (or yellow bean sauce), add some more garlic and also ginger for more taste.









And hereunder is a special soup with freshwater mollusks and water spinach, it sounds very close to nature. The ways of cooking this soup can be various :

- First way, after deeping the fresh mollusks in water for 10 minutes and washing clean, you can boil them in water and then remain them in their shells (as in image). Next, put the spinach in and boil again, add sauce and seasoning powder and garlic for more taste.









- Another way, after cleaning fresh mollusks, you can take the filling out of the shells and discard the shells. Then cook well the mollusks together with spinach in enough water until the mollusks becomes well-done and spinach turns soft but still keeping green, next add fish sauce, seasoning powder, garlic and ginger for more taste. The sweet flavor is fine and cool, making you feel pure and healthy.









I believe you would have a good appetite with less meat and more vegetables becauce they are really delicious too. Please try these once and probably you would like to do them again !!!
