Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Pinch off the old ends of the cowpeas, clean them, and put them directly into boiling water to cook. (Boil it first and then cut it, so there will be less nutrient loss; the cowpeas must be cooked, but not too soft, otherwise the taste will be bad. You can taste them when cooking, but be sure to spit out the uncooked ones. Do not cover the pot when cooking, otherwise they will turn yellow.)

   

2. 2 One clove of garlic minced

   

3. 3 A slice of ginger, minced

   

4. 4 Let the cowpeas cool slightly and then cut them into sections (if your gastrointestinal condition is good, you can boil them in cold water, which will make the texture more crispy and tender, or you can cool them in advance and boil them for a while. Note that the chopping board and knife used to cut cowpeas must be used for cutting cooked food.)

   

5. 5 Pour a small amount of oil into the pot and heat it

   

6. 6 Arrange on a plate, put minced ginger and garlic on the cowpeas, add pepper powder, ginger powder, chicken powder, pour hot oil, add soy sauce and vinegar and mix well. (Chicken powder can significantly improve the taste of cold dishes and is recommended to everyone. There is already salt in chicken powder and soy sauce, so there is no need to add additional salt. A low-salt diet is healthier.)
