Steamed crocodile meat with wolfberries

Overview

Crocodile meat is a low-fat, low-cholesterol meat. Healthy and high-quality crocodile meat is not only delicious, but also has the effects of nourishing the heart and lungs, nourishing blood and bones, nourishing the kidneys and strengthening essence, expelling evil spirits and dehumidifying. Regular consumption can nourish qi and blood, relieve asthma and relieve coughs. However, it is best to eat crocodile meat with the skin on, because crocodile skin is rich in colloid, which can effectively prevent and treat osteoporosis and has the effect of moisturizing and nourishing the skin. The crocodile looked scary, especially the skin, which made me feel like I had no idea what to do with it. But after the seller pointed it out, I went back and tried it. It turned out that it was not difficult at all. It was very easy. I steamed it with cloud fungus, wolfberry, and red dates. Haha, it was fresh and tender, and even more delicious than chicken. The skin was also very elastic (those white pieces are the cooked skin). Not bad!
