Cook with 3C

Sweet potatoes are an excellent carbohydrate source that offers a variety of nutrients, including fibre, vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants. When prepared correctly, sweet potatoes can be incorporated into any balanced diet. 😋 Here are some ways we recommend it:

🍠 Simply bake or boil! Sweet potatoes are fantastic on their own, having a mild starchy sweet flavour.
🍠 Roasted sweet potato with different toppings like chives, onion, yogurt, or peppers.
🍠 Sweet potato as a grain/carbohydrate substitute! Try replacing your rice, pasta or typical white potato for sweet potato a couple times this week. It would surely mix up the flavours in your food as well as your nutritional profile.

紅薯是一種很棒的碳水來源，它提供豐富的營養素，其中包括纖維，維生素C，維生素A和抗氧化劑。如果準備得當，紅薯可以融入任何均衡飲食中。以下是我們推薦的一些準備方法：

🍠 簡單地烘烤或煮熟！紅薯本身就很棒，含有溫和的澱粉甜味。
🍠 用不同的配料搭配烤紅薯，例如韭菜、洋蔥、酸奶或胡椒。
🍠 用紅薯代替主食(穀物/碳水)！本週可以試試用紅薯代替米飯，義大利面或白土豆。它肯定能融入你的飲食，豐富你的味蕾及營養攝入。

Have you ever had Glutinous Rice Dumplings (also called Zongzi)? They’re a traditional festive food eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival! 🥢⛩🎊

The chewy, tender, and sweet glutinous rice is wrapped in bamboo leaves, and there are numerous savoury or sweet fillings. 😋 Most of them have glutinous rice, salted duck egg yolks, mung bean, and pork. I like to add tri-colour quinoa, mushrooms, and chickpeas to increase their protein and fibre content.

There are also meatless options available. 🌱 You can buy them from most Asian supermarkets. Happy Dragon Boat Festival! 🥳
