Dumplings That Are Okay to Eat While Losing Weight: Beef Carrot Tofu Steamed Buns
The little girl in the company started complaining about wanting to lose weight again, so her diet changed to eating an apple a day and some cucumbers…
You absolutely cannot skip on staple foods during weight loss!!!
I admit, restricting calories can lead to quick weight loss because of the starvation, due to the huge calorie deficit. Carbohydrates are essential nutrients for the human body, and if they are missing, the superficial cells will accelerate aging, the skin will become very dry, and over time, it will lead to paleness and obvious deficiencies.
Moreover, it's very easy to rebound. Almost everyone who loses weight by starving themselves ends up regaining the weight.
I'm recommending a steamed bun that's also suitable for weight loss today: Beef Carrot Tofu Steamed Bun
Ingredients: 500g of flour, 3g of yeast, 300g of beef, 300g of tofu, 300g of carrots, ginger and scallions to taste
Seasoning: soy sauce, (liao jiu - rice wine), salt, pepper, oyster sauce, ginger scallion water
Instructions:
1First, make ginger scallion water: Crush ginger and chop scallion segments, soak in a small bowl with water for 30 minutes;
2Cut the beef into a fine paste, add soy sauce, rice wine, salt, pepper, and oyster sauce, gradually adding half a bowl of ginger scallion water and mixing in one direction until it becomes sticky;
3Blanch the tofu in boiling water for 2 minutes and cut it into pieces, grate the carrots into shreds, and mix them with the beef filling. The steamed bun filling is ready;
4Activate the yeast in warm (30°C) water and knead the dough until soft. Place it in a warm place to ferment until doubled or tripled in volume;
5Knead the dough again to remove air, cut it into dough pieces and roll them into steamed bun wrappers, filling them with the mixture;
6Steam for 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit for 3 minutes before opening the lid. The steamed buns are ready!
The beef contains vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, which enhance immunity and resistance, contains protein, potassium, and linoleic acid, which are beneficial for muscle growth.
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which has a protective effect on vision; tofu is a high-calcium, high-protein food; flour is a carbohydrate, which is also essential for weight loss.
After making the steamed buns, you can store them in the refrigerator for frozen storage. Have a breakfast of a beef carrot tofu steamed bun + a glass of milk + a serving of fruit + a serving of leafy greens, and it's a nutritionally balanced slimming breakfast.
