Kelp and mung bean soup

Most people will drink mung bean soup in summer, because drinking mung bean soup in summer can effectively prevent heatstroke. In fact, in addition to cooking pumpkins with mung beans, we can also cook kelp with mung beans, which can effectively remove fire and make our skin better and less acne.

In fact, the method of kelp and mung bean soup is very simple, and the heat of this soup is very low, which can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also effectively lose weight, so it is very worth drinking by women who love beauty. First, we wash the mung beans and soak them in clear water for several hours. Try not to omit this step.

After the mung beans are soaked, put them in a pressure cooker. The reason why kelp and mung beans should be cooked in a pressure cooker is because kelp is not easy to cook, so try not to cook in an ordinary pot. After putting mung beans into the pot, prepare to cut kelp. Kelp must be cut into kelp silk.

But before cutting kelp, you must soak it in water and try to soak it in warm water, because it is not easy to soak it in cold water. There are a lot of dirty things outside the kelp, that is, white things that we can see with the naked eye. We must wash them clean.

After washing kelp, roll it slowly from one section, cut it in half after rolling, and then you can start to cut kelp silk slowly. Many people don't know how to cut kelp silk. In fact, the method just mentioned is a very scientific method for cutting kelp silk. You must cut it as thin as possible. It's too strong to taste.

You don't need too much kelp to cook mung beans, just a proper amount of kelp. After the kelp is put into the pressure cooker, try to add more water to the pot. Because the pressure cooker is easy to boil water, we all know that mung beans and kelp are tasteless, so we should put rock sugar in the pot.

The amount of rock sugar can be determined according to your own taste. If you eat in summer, try not to put too much rock sugar, because too sweet kelp and mung bean soup can't quench your thirst, and you will feel very tired if you drink too much. We can let it stew in the pot for a while, because we should stew mung beans and kelp as much as possible, which will taste better.

Cold kelp silk

In addition to stewed mung beans with seaweed, you can also make cold shredded seaweed in summer, which is actually very convenient and simple to cook when drinking porridge. Of course, to make cold kelp silk is to cut kelp into shreds. The cutting method of kelp silk has just been mentioned, so I won't introduce it in detail.

We can also prepare some shredded carrots and put them together with kelp to make the cold kelp taste better, so that we can wash the carrots, peel and shred them, and then start to boil a pot of water, because we have to blanch the shredded carrots and kelp in water for a while, otherwise they will all be raw.

Blanch shredded carrots with boiling water for a while, but kelp must be cooked for a while, because kelp is not very delicious if eaten raw. After the shredded carrot and kelp are cooked, put them into a clean basin, pour in the seasoning and stir well. We can put a little pepper in kelp, which will be more delicious.
