What vegetables can seaweed make

Kelp can be used to make dishes such as cold kelp shreds, kelp pork rib soup, kelp tofu soup, kelp stewed soybeans, kelp stir fried shredded meat, etc. Kelp is rich in iodine, dietary fiber, and various minerals, making it suitable for pairing with different ingredients to enhance nutritional value and taste.

1. Cold kelp shreds

Cold kelp shreds are a refreshing and appetizing cold dish. Cut the soaked seaweed into shreds and blanch it in water. Add minced garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, vinegar, and a small amount of chili oil and mix well. The toughness of seaweed combined with the sourness and spiciness of seasonings is suitable for summer consumption and can promote appetite. The dietary fiber in kelp helps with gastrointestinal peristalsis, but those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should eat less raw and cold cold dishes.

2. Kelp Pork Rib Soup

Kelp pork rib soup is a classic nourishing soup. After blanching the pork ribs, slowly stew them with soaked seaweed, add ginger slices to remove fishy smell, and the soup color is clear, fresh, and sweet. Sodium alginate in kelp can combine with the fat in pork ribs, reducing greasiness while supplementing calcium and collagen. Suitable for people with physical weakness or in need of calcium supplementation, but gout patients need to control the intake of high purine pork ribs.

3. Kelp Tofu Soup

Kelp Tofu Soup is a low-fat and high protein vegetarian choice. Boil tender tofu and seaweed together, add a little shrimp skin for freshness, and the taste is smooth, tender, and light. The plant protein in tofu complements the minerals in kelp, making it suitable for people with high blood pressure or weight loss. When cooking, seaweed should be soaked in advance to remove excess salt and avoid the soup being too salty.

4. Seaweed stewed with soybeans

Seaweed stewed with soybeans is a traditional combination of plant protein. Soak soybeans in advance and stew them with seaweed until soft and tender, then add a small amount of five spice powder for seasoning. The iodine element in kelp can promote the metabolism of protein in soybeans, making it suitable for people with normal thyroid function to consume. But legumes are prone to gas production, and those with weak gastrointestinal function need to control their consumption.

Five, stir fried shredded pork with seaweed

Stir fried shredded pork with seaweed is a home cooked quick stir fry dish. Cut and marinate lean meat, stir fry with shredded seaweed, and add shredded carrots to enhance color. The freshness of seaweed can reduce the greasiness of meat, and the combination of meat and vegetables is balanced. It is recommended to use pork tenderloin to reduce fat content, and hypertensive patients can use less soy sauce when cooking. Before cooking kelp, it is necessary to soak it thoroughly and change the water multiple times to remove impurities and excess salt. Patients with thyroid diseases should consult a doctor to control their intake of kelp. Kelp can be paired with different ingredients in daily life, such as winter melon to reduce swelling and water retention, and black fungus to assist in lowering cholesterol. Avoid long-term and excessive consumption to prevent excessive iodine intake. It is recommended to consume 2-3 times a week, with no more than 50 grams of dried seaweed per time, to maintain dietary diversity.
