Sometimes, actually most times I like to do a one dish. Often, we skipped breakfast, have early lunch and late dinner. Lucky for me hubby is one who do not mind eating the same dish for both meals and if it is Malaysian curry he can eat it for few days – kekekekeke
Today I decided to do a trio of braised soyabean products dish. It is said that soya products are very good for menopausal symptoms, and I am lucky that hubby is a huge fan of anything made from soyabeans. Heck there are soyabean products that he will eat, and I won’t! Funny man will eat like fermented beancurd especially the spicy ones with plain rice!
Soyabean has some of the most important nutrient required in the human body. Besides offering high-quality protein it is super rich in saturated fats, antioxidants, Omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and phytoestrogens.
It has a long list of benefits, but I am only interested in the diabetes aspects, the potential of sleep regulating and the improving of blood circulation for the menopausal women.
We do eat a lot of soya produce, at least once or twice a week in one form or another. I do make my own soya milk often and it is pretty easy to just add a few egg yolks and steam for a smooth soft eggy dish.
When I make my own soya milk, I would also boil it in the morning and crack a couple of eggs in for breakfast.
Anyway, hope you enjoy this simple made-up dish. Please adjust and add anything you wish. I would have added other types of mushrooms if I had.
Note: To velvet your chicken just marinate with light soy sauce, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Before hitting the oil add in a sesame oil and loosen. Your chicken slices will be velvety smooth and won’t clump together.
