【Broccoli Chicken with Soy Sauce】---Private secret recipe with balanced nutrition
Overview
Soy sauce chicken is a famous dish in Cantonese cuisine. This dish is bright in color and the chicken is tender. Broccoli is also known as green cauliflower, broccoli, tender stem cauliflower, Italian kale, and stem broccoli. It belongs to the Brassica genus Brassica variety of the Brassicaceae family and is an annual herbaceous plant. It is native to the eastern coastal areas of the Mediterranean. In recent years, a small amount of it has been cultivated in my country, mainly for Western food. Broccoli is between cabbage and cauliflower. A green or purple fat ball is formed on the top of the main stem. The small flower buds on the surface are obvious and loose, not densely packed into balls. The young stems of the flower buds are collected for consumption. It is rich in nutrients and contains protein, sugar, fat, vitamins and carotene. Its nutritional content ranks first among similar vegetables and is known as the crown of vegetables. French and American scientists recently discovered that broccoli (broccoli) is not only rich in vitamins and minerals, It may even have the miraculous ability to kill the Helicobacter pylori bacteria that causes gastric cancer. Interestingly, it is the substance that gives this green vegetable its unique taste that has such wonderful functions. The nutrients in broccoli are not only high in content, but also very comprehensive, mainly including protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamin C and carotene. According to analysis, every 100 grams of fresh broccoli bulbs contains 3.5 to 4.5 grams of protein, which is 3 times that of cauliflower and 4 times that of tomatoes. In addition, broccoli is more comprehensive in mineral content than other vegetables. It is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, etc., which is much higher than that of cabbage, which also belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Perhaps the most significant thing about broccoli is its anti-cancer effect. Cauliflower contains more vitamin C than Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, and celery. It is especially effective in preventing and treating gastric cancer and breast cancer. Studies have shown that when suffering from gastric cancer, the level of serum selenium in the human body drops significantly, and the concentration of vitamin C in the gastric juice is also significantly lower than that of normal people. Cauliflower can not only supplement a certain amount of selenium and vitamin C, but also provide abundant carotene, which can prevent the formation of precancerous cells and inhibit the growth of cancer. According to research by American nutritionists, cauliflower also contains a variety of indole derivatives. This compound can reduce estrogen levels in the human body and prevent the occurrence of breast cancer. In addition, research shows that an enzyme extracted from cauliflower can prevent cancer. This substance is called carotene, which can increase the activity of carcinogen detoxification enzymes. In addition to fighting cancer, broccoli is also rich in ascorbic acid, which can enhance the detoxification ability of the liver and improve the body's immunity. A certain amount of flavonoids can regulate and prevent high blood pressure and heart disease. At the same time, broccoli is a high-fiber vegetable, which can effectively reduce the absorption of glucose by the gastrointestinal tract, thereby lowering blood sugar and effectively controlling the condition of diabetes. Therefore, chicken and broccoli are more nutritious and balanced when eaten together, and the soup of soy sauce chicken makes broccoli richer in taste. This broccoli and soy sauce chicken is what I often make, sometimes in small pieces, and sometimes in whole chicken drumsticks. It's delicious, and I can't get enough. Everyone has their own soy sauce chicken recipe, so I’ll share mine with you. Regardless of whether it is authentic or not, delicious food is the king, right? If you serve this dish at a family reunion or a gathering of friends, it will definitely be popular. More importantly, this dish is simple to make, easy to make, and tastes good
