Lettuce, also known as lettuce, is both a nutritious food and a medicine with high medical value. The content of carbohydrates in lettuce is low, but the content of inorganic salts and vitamins is relatively high, especially nicotinic acid. Niacin is an activator of insulin. People with diabetes often eat lettuce, which can improve sugar metabolism. Lettuce also contains a certain amount of trace elements zinc and iron. Especially the iron in lettuce is easily absorbed by the body. Regular consumption of fresh lettuce can prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia. Lettuce is rich in potassium ions, which is 27 times the sodium content, which is helpful for regulating the salt balance in the body. For patients with hypertension, heart disease, etc., it can promote diuresis, lower blood pressure, and prevent heart rhythm disorders. Lettuce also has the functions of increasing appetite, stimulating the secretion of digestive juices, and promoting gastrointestinal motility. However, if you eat lettuce too much or too often, because the lettuce biochemicals in lettuce have a stimulating effect on the optic nerve, you will have a toxic reaction of dizziness and drowsiness, leading to night blindness or other eye diseases, so you should not eat too much. Night blindness and eye diseases caused by eating too much lettuce only need to stop eating lettuce, and they will get better in a few days.
Both leaves and stems can be eaten raw. The stems should be peeled and washed. Of course, the safest thing is to blanch them in boiling water first to ensure better hygiene. Then add some seasonings and eat cold.
Ingredients (for two people):
1. Lettuce (if you don’t know what it is...it’s very long, a bit like bamboo shoots but without scales and has long green leaves on the head...I don’t know what bamboo shoots look like...If you really don’t know...then just eat kelp shreds ...I don’t know what kelp is...-_-++|||), three (despite its size, there isn’t much left after peeling off the outer skin)
2 ． Two cucumbers, it is best to use dry cucumbers (the skin is smoother, the color is lighter, the short, thick and fat kind, I think it tastes better when eaten raw than water cucumbers.).
3. The more coriander, the better (note: it is not used as a ‘condiment’)
4. Four or five vegetable peppers (or the kind that are not spicy and have thick meat)
5. One large carrot or two small carrots (may or may not be present)
Production process:
1. Break off the lettuce leaves, wash the tender ones and set aside.
2． Rinse and peel the lettuce. The skin is light green, and the outer layer with white strands is omitted, leaving the pure green center. The remaining part of a relatively large lettuce is probably only about 3 centimeters in diameter.
3. Cut the lettuce into thin oblong slices (cut diagonally), about 3 mm thick. Put it in a bowl and set aside, add salt (you can add a little more to kill the water), and stir.
4. Wash the cucumber, no need to peel it, just remove it (-_-||||), cut into thin slices, follow the same instructions as above, put it in a bowl, stir and set aside.
5. Rub the carrots clean with a wire brush (by the way, not dry rub, but rub under tap water... -_-||||), and cut into thin slices, but the thickness should not exceed 1-2 mm, otherwise it will be too hard. Place in a bowl and mix roughly, set aside.
6. Wash the peppers, remove the seeds, and cut them into long strips that are slightly wider (but no wider than 1 cm at most) (because the peppers are irregular in shape, you can actually cut them into whatever you want. The principle is to make the peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, and carrots look like they are cut) That's pretty much it. Of course, if you're good at knife skills, you can do whatever you want... -_-|||). Place in a bowl and mix roughly, set aside.
7. Wash the coriander thoroughly. A large handful of coriander must be washed for ten minutes. The requirements are the same as "unique kelp". Cut into shreds about the same length as lettuce slices.
8． At this time, remove the water from the killing, take out a piece of lettuce and lick it (don’t put it back after licking it, just eat it, it won’t kill you...-_-||||), if you feel it is salty, you can Rinse it with water and control it immediately. If you are indifferent...ask me...-_-||||
9. Add garlic, horseradish (optional), MSG (a few grains are enough), honey (two tablespoons of it! Add if it’s not enough!!), vinegar (four tablespoons of it! Add if it’s not enough!!!), Three to five drops of sesame oil.
10． Stirring
11. Cut the lettuce leaves into two-centimeter-long pieces and mix them separately. Just use coriander, garlic and seasonings. If there are few leaves, just mix them together.
12. eat.
Notes:
1. This cold dish is relatively complicated among the cold dishes, and it consumes a lot of energy, so it is best to make it with two people. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, the couple can circle around the cutting board (hence the name "two-person circle"), which is fun. Suddenly. ^+++^
2． How to peel lettuce: Have you seen how to peel sugar cane? That's it. Have you seen Mi? -_-||||...I can't describe it, but if you really can't, you can ask the vegetable vendor...I don't dare to ask! ! -_-++++
3． Standard state: The green is crisp and clear, and the transparent green and opaque green are mixed together, the dark green and light green complement each other, the red is full of energy, and there are cute coriander leaves... plus a few drops of crystal clear saliva ……-_-||||
4． Standard smell: the fragrance of coriander, cucumber, pepper, lettuce, carrot, vinegar, sesame oil ~~~~
5. Standard taste: definitely sweet and sour, not too salty, you can eat it with an empty mouth (just don’t eat the staple food!), that refreshing fragrance~~~
6. Standard taste: Don’t say anything, just one word: absolutely delicious! ! (It doesn’t seem to be a word... a certain F who can’t count thought in confusion... -_-||||) If you close the doors and windows, turn on the air conditioner, put it in the refrigerator to chill before eating (Mi has a refrigerator>_<~~ ~)——Wow! The world is peaceful! ! Great enlightenment! ! No more desires! ! See through the world of mortals! ! ……-_-||||
7． Carrot slices are basically quite hard, and it will be very uncomfortable if they get stuck in your throat, so it is recommended to chew them slowly and savor them carefully, especially when your boyfriend is present.
8． If you pay for the food and cook it, I suggest you quietly pick the lettuce and eat it with cilantro. Next is cucumber and coriander, and then carrot, pepper and coriander.
9. Brush your teeth after taking it.
10． Like some boring people who are idle at home, you can cut the above feed into thin strips. Carrots should be the thinnest, followed by green peppers, lettuce and cucumbers can be thicker, and the corresponding killing time is as long as the table.
11. I can’t eat enough
