〖Source〗: Folk Remedies
〖Ingredients〗: 200g tofu, 100g kelp, appropriate amounts of refined salt, ginger minced, green onion, and peanut oil.
〖Preparation〗: 1. Soak kelp in warm water until softened, wash, then cut into diamond-shaped pieces; cut tofu into large cubes, boil in water, remove, cool, then dice. 2. Heat peanut oil in a pan, sauté green onion and ginger until fragrant, add tofu and kelp, pour in sufficient water, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until kelp and tofu are flavorful. Add salt, serve immediately.
〖Characteristics〗: Smooth, savory, rich but not greasy.
〖Notes〗: This dish combines tofu—tonifying Qi, harmonizing stomach, moisturizing, clearing heat and detoxifying—with kelp. Kelp contains abundant iodine, mannitol, and other nutrients. Iodine prevents goiter and maintains normal thyroid function. Mannitol treats acute renal failure and cerebral edema. Kelp tastes salty and cold, with functions of softening hardness, dispersing nodules, clearing heat, promoting urination, lowering lipids, and reducing blood pressure. Due to its high iodine content, kelp is excellent for blackening and beautifying hair. Women value beautiful hair greatly, so they should consume more iodine-rich foods like kelp daily.
