When eating out, I always like to order a side dish, and the most common one is probably peanuts soaked in vinegar. This side dish looks simple, in fact, the more you eat, the more delicious it is, and it is also a recipe for health and diet. This dish is sour and delicious, has a unique flavor, can stimulate appetite and promote digestion, and is deeply loved by people.

So, how did such a classic side dish come out? We might as well switch to the kitchen scene. To make this dish, we must first choose the raw materials, such as good peanuts, authentic mature vinegar, daily necessities and some ingredients, such as lettuce, mushrooms and shallots.

First, shell the peanuts and clean them with clear water. It should be noted that the red skin of peanuts should not be washed off. Drain the washed peanuts, put them in a pot, add some oil and fry them with strong fire. Then wash a proper amount of lettuce, shred it, dry it, cut it into dices, wash the shallots, cut it into powder and put it on a plate for later use. Then prepare seasonings such as mature vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and salt for later use.

After all this is done, a plate of sour and delicious side dishes is served. Take a trumpet-shaped bowl, put shredded lettuce and diced citron at the bottom of the bowl, add fried peanuts, then pour the aged vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce into the bowl, sprinkle with chopped green onion, add sugar and salt, and stir well to serve.

Although there are many ingredients in this dish, the real core is only peanuts and mature vinegar. The combination of peanuts and mature vinegar is called "immortal couple" by some people. Especially from the point of view of nutrition, peanuts contain unsaturated fatty acids needed by human body, but they are high in fat, high in calories and greasy, just like various organic acids in vinegar can relieve boredom and produce fragrance.

In addition to the above methods, there is a simple and rude method, that is, directly soaking peanuts in mature vinegar for a week, and then eating 7 ~ 10 capsules every night for a week, which can lower blood pressure, soften blood vessels and reduce the accumulation of cholesterol. However, it should be noted that it is necessary to eat in moderation, up to a dozen capsules, and rinse your mouth in time after eating, otherwise it will be bad for your teeth.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that peanuts have the functions of "pleasing the spleen and stomach, moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm, benefiting qi and clearing throat, and relieving itching", while aged vinegar has the functions of "appetizing and nourishing liver, strengthening tendons and warming bones, sobering up and resolving food stagnation, lowering qi to ward off evil spirits, and detoxifying fish and crabs". Peanut soaked in vinegar has the effect of clearing away heat and promoting blood circulation, and has a good effect on protecting blood vessel wall and preventing thrombosis. Long-term consumption can lower blood pressure, soften blood vessels and reduce the accumulation of cholesterol, which is a health food for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases.

Although vinegar soaked peanuts have many advantages, some individuals are not suitable. For example, when eating some western medicine, it is not advisable to avoid eating peanuts. For example, sulfonamides are easy to form crystals in the kidney and damage the renal tubules in an acidic environment, so it is not advisable to be jealous when taking such drugs. If you take alkaline drugs such as sodium bicarbonate, magnesium oxide and weishuping, don't avoid cooking food; For example, patients with gastric ulcer and hyperacidity should not avoid eating, because vinegar will corrode gastrointestinal mucosa and aggravate the development of ulcer disease.
