Currently, the trend of raising Koi fish in the garden pond at home is being responded by many people These are 2 types of pets that Mr. Tai bought in Ho Chi Minh City. Food for South American dragons and African turtles Sulcata is just water spinach, sweet potato, pumpkin…, farmers don’t have to spend a lot of money, just need to take care. Mr. Tai said: “I’m a young person, so I like to play with something unique and strange. Since then, I switched from raising dogs and cats to South American dragons and Sulcata African tortoises. These two types have beautiful, benign colors. Above all, for me, taking care of a pet is also a way to teach my children how to love and take care of the people around them, and at the same time bind family members together.” Koi fish hobby appeared in Vietnam for a long time and was well received by many people, but this hobby has only appeared in Long An in recent years. According to Koi fishers, in terms of feng shui and spirituality, this fish is considered a symbol of wealth, longevity and fertility. Breeding large, beautiful Koi fish is considered as if the owner has good feng shui and good luck. Mr. Nguyen Cong Danh, living in Binh Tam commune, Tan An city, said: “In the past, I mainly raised ornamental fish, but recently switched to Koi. The reason Koi fish create interest in fish. I am a beautiful body, color, pattern and a flexible and relaxed swimming. Initially, my family only kept fish in a glass tank, then upgraded to a garden pond. In order to raise Koi fish. If there is natural beauty, the aquarium must be wide, the depth is from 0.8-1.5m, the water is always clear and clean, the pH level is always kept at 6-8, the algae and algae are not too much, of which special Don’t let dirty water be contaminated, causing fish to get sick and die, and feed must use specialized food, ensuring protein from 30-35%.

These are the most beautiful and meaningful fish lines in the current Koi fish lines, because of their colors and lucky meanings for the owner.

And the hobby of Koi fish in the household is spreading strongly in Long An, create a healthy and useful playground for many people with the same interests after hours of hard work and study”. It can be seen that the trend of raising pets is not new in Long An, what is new is that people’s lives have been raised, since then the trend of raising unique and strange pets is increasing. Through the pet trend, many people find joy and live less closed. Because for owners, pets are not simply animals, but they are also “companions” who are always attached to each other in daily life.

Many vegetable growers now often use pesticides to spray vegetables and fruits to fight pests and promote better crop growth. In addition to vegetables that are reported to be high in pesticides, there are also some vegetables that contain the least amount of pesticides. Parents should choose to buy clean vegetables that contain less pesticides for their children to eat. Here are some clean vegetables that contain less pesticides, mothers can rest assured to cook for their children. Spinach is one of the popular vegetables for young children thanks to its smooth, easy-to-swallow properties. Spinach and jute vegetables are not the “favorite” vegetables of insects, and are easy to grow, so they are safe for children. Mothers can use spinach to cook baby porridge dishes such as: spinach beef powder, field crab spinach powder, clam spinach porridge … Amaranth has a high germination capacity, grows easily and rarely requires the use of insecticides. Therefore, they are also approved for the list of highly pesticide-free vegetables. Not only is a vegetable that clears heat, amaranth also contains a lot of vitamins, known as the “vegetable of longevity”. Mom can cook amaranth soup with rice or amaranth porridge with rice, which is very good for the baby. Zucchini, pumpkin, melon, gourd are plants that do not have many pests and diseases, so they are less likely to be sprayed with pesticides such as some types of broccoli, cowpea, etc. The drug is also often sprayed on the stem and leaves, so the amount of medicine on the fruit is reduced. And these fruits also have a long shelf life after harvest, so they can reduce drug residues before use. Environmental organization EWG (USA) announced in the annual study, eggplant is classified as a safe food choice, because the amount of protective drug residues on the eggplant skin is very small. One cup of peas provides about 14 grams of fiber, making them one of the highest in fiber vegetables. Peas have very little pesticide residue and are very safe to buy, according to the US Environmental Working Group. Nutritionists recommend feeding babies solid foods at the age of 6 to 8 months. The most common cooking method is steaming or boiling and then mashing it for the baby to eat. Sweet potato vegetables are the top vegetables in the top vegetables to help children quickly get rid of constipation. Coincidentally, this is also the vegetable proven to contain the least amount of pesticides. Because sweet potatoes are easy to grow, the effort to care for them is usually not much, there are few insects. Therefore, growers do not have to worry too much about using pesticides. You can cook sweet potato porridge with pork, beef or shrimp, all delicious and nutritious. Soak them in clean water for about 30-60 minutes before washing. It will help reduce 10 – 60% pesticide residue. Or you can expose it to the sun for 5-10 minutes, which also helps to “eliminate” the amount of residual pesticide very well.

Water spinach soup, tomato pickle with soy sauce… Every year, after the season of plucking the peanuts and pressing the oil, Dad uses those oil cakes to make soy sauce. Banh Dau sauce is made from the carcass of peanuts after pressing all the essential oils. The bean carcasses are packed into round, thick cakes. When making soy sauce, three chop the oil cake into pieces and then pound it, sifting to get the fine powder. The flour is roasted, mixed with hot rice, granulated sugar and salt, finely ground and incubated for fermentation, forming soy sauce. The stages of making Banh Dau sauce are not difficult, but perhaps the secret, or it is often said, that the person who has the best hands in making the best soy sauce in the village is only three.
One of the secrets of my father, I know, when making soy sauce, he never used well water but only rain water from the cement block in front of the house. This is also the type of water used to make tea, offer rice on the occasion of the full moon, or the death anniversary. In summer, it usually rains for two or three days. Rainwater from the jackfruit tree makes a faucet catch the lake, carefully covered around it. Giap weekly change the water so that it does not get dirty, swarm or leaves fall in. The most oppressive tree on the summer side, when the wind blows, only a few leaves are considered as water damage. Banh Dau sauce has a brown color of cockroach wings, fatty, aromatic taste, at first glance similar to fish sauce, but the taste is lighter and the fragrance is very characteristic.
In those years, life was still very difficult, fish and shrimp paste was not like it is now. I remember sometimes carrying fish from the sea across the sea to follow in the footsteps of thousands of women, every house buys a little bit called… to eat for fish. In order to have a more sustainable meal, many families have to pack bags and tin boxes to cycle for dozens of kilometers down to Hoi An to buy fish incubated with fish sauce to eat all winter.

At that time, my house was at the top of the village, right at the foot of the mountain. After the liberation from the North, his father spent months in the forest cutting trees to build a spacious 4-room wooden house. On the porch, close to the wall facing the rising sun, put two jars of earthenware, a jar of soy sauce and a jar of salted eggplant. Ba Bao ketchup is like a plant, it needs sunlight to be delicious. With soy sauce, each meal can be scooped into a cup and then cooked in the rice cooker when it is exhausted. Changing the taste can de-oil making the sweet potato dipping sauce great, and the pickled eggplant is also delicious.
Every day, when there is pork divided into seasonal rice, my father shows off his ability to store meat with soy sauce, which is very interesting. Pork cut into small slices, marinated with a little seasoning, sugar, main noodles, onions, garlic for about fifteen minutes for the meat to absorb the spices. Lemongrass washed, cut the white part, chopped. Heat peanut oil and then add lemongrass and stir until the lemongrass turns yellow and fragrant, then add the meat and stir-fry. When the meat is cooked, add the soy sauce and stir. Then, add a little warm water, simmer on low heat for the meat to infuse. When the water in the pot is completely exhausted, the slices of meat become dry, a layer of brown soy sauce, emitting a fragrant aroma is okay. You can also add a little roasted sesame to braised meat, rub off the silk skin to make the dish more flavorful. In particular, this delicious dish can also be preserved in a glass jar and eaten gradually for a few days and still retains its delicious taste.
Soy sauce is also used to pickle pickled tomatoes. The fish is drained, soaked with seasoned soy sauce, and eaten very well. Biting a piece of coffee, it sounds like a crackling sound, no matter how tired people are, they want to wake up. The sweet and fatty sauce mixed with the tray taste of the eggplant settles down on the tip of the tongue, it is difficult to resist when picking up the first egg, the second and third are hard to resist. And always, the ketchup meal ends with a cup of water spinach soup, or a new bowl of boiled vegetable juice. Reading “Love and miss the twelve”, writer Vu Bang once sang “how disgusting that the beloved North Vietnamese country is not richer than anyone else, not as luxurious as anyone else, but how can it produce a delicious eggplant, melon, soy sauce, and fish sauce? “The devil cries so much”.
Please tell me, the Central region of my hometown is also inferior, especially the dish of ketchup, boiled sweet vegetables dipped with soy sauce on every summer occasion that my father makes. But that’s also true, delicious food doesn’t have to wait to be rich. And then the writer and author of “Hanoi delicacies”, “Stranger dishes of the South” confessed: “Oh, it’s the compassion of people, many things don’t produce anything “dead” that they can do for themselves. But remembering the turmeric eggplant or a piece of tomato and soy sauce to eat right in the summer, it’s not just about missing coffee, it’s about remembering the wife of Cao Khang…”.

Prepare:

• 1 kg of sweet potatoes, medium sized tubers. You should choose medium-sized, even tubers, not to have large tubers – baby bulbs will “help” your potato dish to ripen first, ripe later, soft, hard.

Illustration.

Potatoes are still sticky soil, the soil is not too dry as possible. Potatoes often have a lot of sandy soil (often grown near river banks, with a lot of alluvium), they are “genuine” sweet potatoes.

The tuber inside the flesh is firm and not fibrous, no tubers are devastated, there is a place called phoenix, which means the potato shows signs of sprouting or absorbing water.

• Country

• A little salt

Making:

• Wash the sweet potato, put the potato in the pot, add a little salt (about 1/3 teaspoon) and water to cover the potato. Salt is also an important factor in making the potato feel more fluffy.

• Boil, then boil for another 10-13 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, skewers can be tried with chopsticks and the potatoes are not crushed.

• When the potatoes are just cooked, drain off the water, cook a little more for the potato slightly scorched. This is the way to make potatoes very tender and fragrant like baked potatoes.

However, the choice of potatoes is also extremely important. Therefore, when shopping for potatoes, women pay attention to choosing potatoes with a moderate size, evenly tubers. If the potatoes are mixed with large or small tubers, the tubers will be ripe first when boiled, the tubers will ripen later, the potatoes are not evenly friable.

Boil potatoes with sugarcane

Spread the eyes of the sugar cane on the bottom of the pot and then place the potatoes on top, cover the potatoes with water about 5cm and then boil. Boil for 15 – 20 minutes, use chopsticks to test, if it feels soft. Drain the water out, cook for about 3-5 minutes for the potato to scorch. With this way the potato will be much sweeter.

Steamed potatoes

Alternatively, to make the sweet potato more flavorful, instead of boiling it, you can steam it in a water bath. Put the potatoes in the pot to steam, arrange the big ones below, the small ones on top, and set the heat to high. When the water in the pot boils for a while, sprinkle it over the low-salt potatoes, steam for a few more minutes and then use chopsticks to check, the potatoes are ripe.
