12 things to change if your parents start leaving leftovers for side dishes
There are days when I bring side dishes to my parents' house and when I go back next time, the whole container is still there and the amount of food is just a little less. I...
Bring some side dishes to my parents' house.
If you go next time
The container is still the same
There are days when it's only a little less.
I thought you wouldn't like it at first.
So I made it even better based on what you liked.
The results were the same.
Then I sat down at the table with you and realized it.
There was a side dish that you had to chew and then put down.
Something hard like anchovy stir-fry
It's as tough as a fern
The longest among the cooked vegetables
It was not about the taste, but about the burden of chewing and swallowing.
As you get older, your chewing strength and swallowing ability
The strength falls together
In the study, about one out of three elderly people
It is reported that they are having difficulty swallowing.
So even in our country
There are separate standards for elderly-friendly food.
Step 1 is the degree of chewing with teeth.
The second stage is the extent of crushing the gums.
The third stage is the extent to which it is crushed by the tongue.
Just knowing this concept, how to make home side dishes
I have a direction to change
There is one more important thing.
Even with the same material
Rather than frying and baking
The side that is cooked and prepared becomes much softer
There are research results.
A cooking method that uses moisture
Makes meat and vegetables softer more effectively
So the twelve below are
Not a new side dish
It's just the things that changed the way you learn.
1. Egg steamed —
3 eggs: water 250ml
It is a representative side dish that can be crushed with your tongue.
It is the most soft when the ratio is (1 : 1.5).
If there is less water, it gets hard.
If it's too much, it will sink and won't be caught in the spoon.
Start on low heat, cover the lid and cook for 2 minutes until 80% cooked.
If you blow it hard to make bubbles
After it was cooked, the hole was suddenly pierced.
The liquid is stuck in that hole.
The smoother side is much more comfortable on your parents' shoulders.
2. Tofu stew —
Don't bake, cook instead.
Slice 1 block of tofu into 1 cm thick pieces.
Dry the water with a kitchen towel.
3 tablespoons of soy sauce, gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon of sugar, minced garlic 1 tablespoon, ½ cup of water
If you fry tofu crispy, the outside gets hard.
Just lightly fry it and pour the seasoning on it.
Cook it yourself using traditional Chinese medicine.
If you find spicy things hard
If you leave out gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) and add plenty of scallions
As the seasoning softens, there is still a savory taste.
Refrigerate for 3~4 days
3. Zucchini shrimp paste stir-fry —
Cover with the lid and wait another 1 minute.
If you use ½ tablespoon of shrimp paste, it will give a little seasoning.
Usually, we turn off the light when it hasn't cooked enough after 3 minutes of high heat.
On the parents' table, then
Cover with the lid and let it sit for another minute.
It gets so hot that it boils all the way to the inside
It also hurts in the gums.
4. Blanching of eggplant —
Peel the skin and microwave it
The skin of the eggplant is tough and hard to handle.
Divide into 4, sprinkle with a little salt, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
As the moisture evaporates, it reaches the bottom layer.
Put on a wrap for 3 minutes 30 seconds~4 minutes
After cooling down a bit
Use your hands to stretch the peel side and split it into sections.
If it's like this, the shell won't be chewed.
Korean soup soy sauce 1 tablespoon, minced garlic 1 small spoon
1 tablespoon of sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds
Don't overdo it and wait 3 minutes before checking the liver.
It feels salty when you see it right away.
5. Braised potatoes —
5 more minutes, a little more water
Soak 400g of potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove the starch.
First fry the outside in the oil.
3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of malt sugar
minced garlic ½ tablespoon, 1 cup of water
Everything up to here is the same as usual.
Add another half cup of water to your parents' table.
Please cook for 5 more minutes.
It gets fluffy all the way to the middle.
Potatoes that are only cooked on the outside
I end up letting it go because I bite and get a hard heart.
6. Sweet Potato Mash —
Steam and mash
Pumpkin is mushy when left in lumps.
After steaming thoroughly and mashing it
Mix a little milk and stir well.
If it's as watery as water, it's actually easier to get dehydrated.
It's good if it falls slowly from the spoon.
You can put it on the bread
You can just take one spoonful at a time.
7. Beef Soboro —
Sleep well, and stay moist
The meat chunks are hard to chew.
With 300g of minced meat
2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons sugar
1 big spoon of soju, minced garlic ½ big spoon
It's best to stir-fry it until crispy for storage, but
If you are going to put it on the table that day when you eat it
Leave some of the broth behind and keep it moist.
If you put it on top of the rice, it falls along with the rice grains.
8. Beef radish soup —
Slice radish thinly, for more than 20 minutes.
200~300g of beef broth is
Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove the blood.
sesame oil Stir-fried with 1 tablespoon
Korean soup soy sauce Add 1 tablespoon and stir together
Add thinly sliced radish and cook for 2~3 minutes more.
1.5L of water, when it boils, skim the foam and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
Please use radish as thinly as possible.
If it's thick, even if you boil it for 20 minutes, there's still leftover.
You end up spitting after chewing.
9. Spinach salad —
30 seconds, and 3cm
More than the time it takes to dehydrate spinach
The problem is the length.
Long seaweed feels like it's hanging around my neck.
The elders avoid it.
30 seconds in boiling salted water
Rinse with cold water and squeeze out thoroughly.
Cut it short about 3cm.
It's the same vegetable, but the number of times you use chopsticks changes.
10. Broccoli —
For more than 2 minutes, just rest deeply, only the flower petals.
40 seconds is right for young mouths, but
It is not on my parents' table.
To soak it for more than 2 minutes
Make it so it crumbles in your mouth.
Just the flower bouquet, without the stem
Please cut it smaller than a bite.
Even after boiling, the fibers remain in the stem.
11. Drug egg omelette — 7 minutes of medium-boiled
The perfectly cooked noodles are so hard that my throat is blocked.
If you boil it for 7 minutes, the yolk will be half-liquidized.
It goes much more smoothly
Soy sauce 5 : water 10 : sugar 2, boil the marinade
Please cool it down completely and pour it.
When it's hot, it swells and the white part on the outside gets hard.
Soak for a day and refrigerate for 5 days.
12. Stir-fried kimchi — chop it finely and cook it well
Kimchi has long fiber structure
It's hard to chew as it is.
Cut the fresh kimchi 300g into small pieces.
Heat up the oil generously and fry for more than 5 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
½ tablespoon of sugar brings out the sourness.
If you cook it thoroughly, the texture will break.
It also hurts in the gums.
It needs to be cooled down and stored.
If you close it while it's warm, water will condense inside the lid.
Three things that make it soft
Boiling or cooking —
Rather than frying and baking
Cooking with water makes it softer.
Cut short —
The vegetables and kimchi have long stems
It feels like it's hanging around my neck.
Remove the shell and stalk —
Eggplant skin, broccoli stems
Even after boiling, there is still fiber left.
It is a good food not to put on the table
The following may be a burden for those who are uncomfortable swallowing.
Rice cakes, hard bread and crackers, coarse whole grains
Nuts, dried fruits
Chewy meat, fried meat
A long-lasting vegetable like the stalks of perilla and seaweed
Long hair
Fruits with peels,
Fruits that are very moist
It's good to bring together when setting up the table.
Standing up straight with your chin slightly pulled back
Make it easy for you to eat it slowly and gradually.
The meal time should not exceed 30 minutes.
Do not soak rice in water or broth — grains and
If the liquid is mixed, the swallowing speed is uneven.
Do not drink water all at once from the cup, but take it slowly with a spoon.
Surprisingly, more than rice cakes or meat
Pure water is easy to run out of.
Because it has no viscosity, the speed at which it passes through the neck is
Because it's fast.
My parents don't talk much.
If you say it's hard to chew
I think you're doing it because it seems like you're getting old.
So I have no choice but to look at the remaining bowl.
If there is any leftover side dish you always ate
Not because it's tasteless
It might be because it is uncomfortable to eat.
Among the twelve
Just one side dish you usually post
Try to change it first
