Steamed tofu with chopped pepper fish fillet

Overview

This recipe is so simple yet tastes amazing. The first time I ate it was in the workplace canteen. There was tofu at the bottom of a small round bowl, fish fillet in the middle, and chopped pepper on the surface. The fat tofu combines with the protein of the fish. It is delicate and contains fat. It has no tofu taste. At first, I didn’t know what it was. After I ate it in my mouth, it took me a while to confirm that it was steamed fish fillet with tofu. 100 grams of tofu contains 15.7 grams of protein, 8.6 grams of fat, 4.3 grams of carbohydrates and 0.1 grams of fiber, as well as high amino acids. The protein contained in fish is complete protein, and the amount and ratio of essential amino acids contained in the protein are most suitable for the needs of the human body and are easily digested and absorbed by the human body. There are also vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin B2, and vitamin B12, as well as rich magnesium, iron, calcium, and phosphorus elements, all of which are nutrients needed by the human body. And the fat of fish is mostly composed of unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids have longer carbon chains and have the effect of lowering cholesterol. Chopped peppers Chopped peppers contain vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, carotene, folic acid, etc., making them the king of vegetable vitamin C. Moreover, peppers contain a special substance - capsaicin, which can accelerate the metabolism of fat and prevent the accumulation of fat in the body. In addition, it tastes delicious, increases appetite, and allows people to eat one more bowl of rice.

3. 3 Place the tofu cubes in the bottom of the bowl and sprinkle with a little salt to marinate. Note that chopped chili peppers are salty, so don’t use too much salt.

5. 5 Place chopped chili pepper on top of the fish. Note that the chopped chili pepper itself is salty. The fish and tofu have also been marinated, so don’t put too much. Pour cold water into the pot, turn on the steam and steam for 10 minutes.
