Nowadays, whether young or middle-aged, many people have unknowingly become part of the long-term night owl crowd. Whether it's for work or for play, this actually harms one's health. Let's take a look at what to do about the lack of energy from staying up late for long periods.
In today's world of advanced technology like QQ, WeChat, computers, and mobile phones, going to bed after 12 AM has become commonplace for many office workers. For many middle school students, a mountain of homework also means few get to sleep before 12 AM. With only a few dozen days left for the high school entrance exams, many students even neglect sleep and meals to get into their desired schools... But how can one replenish the energy lost at night? The editor here recommends a protein-rich late-night snack for everyone: Fish Porridge.
Topic: Lettuce Fish Porridge
Ingredients: An appropriate amount of grass carp, a head of lettuce, one stalk of celery, a handful of rice, an appropriate amount of ginger, and an appropriate amount of salt and sesame oil.
Instructions:
1. Slice the grass carp into thin fillets. For a better texture, you can also carefully pick out the bones. If you find it too troublesome and time-consuming, you can leave the bones in.
2. Wash the lettuce and cut it into 2-3 cm pieces. Wash the celery, remove the leaves, and chop it finely. Slice the ginger into thin shreds.
3. Wash the rice. Add an appropriate amount of water to a pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, then add the rice. Once it boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 60 minutes.
4. Add the fish fillets and ginger shreds, turn the heat to high and cook for 3 minutes. Then, add the lettuce and celery and cook for another 1 minute. Add a small amount of salt and sesame oil to taste, and it's ready to be eaten.
Warm Tip: Although a bowl of fish porridge might seem exceptionally simple, making it well is not easy! When choosing fish, any type will do, but be sure to remove the belly, skin, and bones. This way, it will have a tender texture without a fishy taste. Ginger is an indispensable ingredient when making fish porridge. On one hand, it removes the fishy smell, and on the other, it neutralizes the cold nature of the fish, nourishing the stomach and dispelling cold. Adding MSG when making fish porridge is a big taboo. Because fish contains natural umami, adding MSG will completely destroy this natural flavor, which is not worth it.
In fact, for various reasons, many people have unknowingly become night owls. Insufficient sleep is not only bad for your health but also affects your work the next day. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone pay attention to choosing these delicious and healthy late-night meals when staying up late or working overtime.
