Easy, Healthy Recipes to Try

To help you kickstart your culinary journey, here are three simple recipes that are perfect for those who care about fitness and healthy eating.

1. High-Protein and Healthy-Fat Mackerel Curry

When indulging in a fitness journey, it’s easy for meals to become monotonous. However, a flavorful curry can elevate your dining experience! Mackerel, rich in protein and healthy fats (EPA and DHA), is favored by those focusing on muscle gain. Using the Teito Chef's stewing mode, you can effortlessly prepare mackerel curry.

Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

- Half a mackerel (goma-saba)
- A pinch of salt and sake (for preparation)
- 50g green onions
- 50g burdock root
- 2 slices of ginger
- 1 tablespoon of curry flakes
- 30ml mentsuyu (noodle soup base)
- 10ml sake
- 80ml water

Instructions

1. Sprinkle the mackerel with salt and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Rinse with sake and pat dry with kitchen paper, then cut into four pieces.
2. Place all ingredients into the inner pot, set to the stew mode for 20 minutes, and start cooking.
3. Plate the dish and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

2. Low-Carb Bran Bread for Weight Loss

Bran flour, made from the outer layers of wheat, is incredibly nutritious compared to standard white flour. It’s perfect for those looking to reduce body fat and manage carbohydrate intake. Its high fiber content helps curb snacks and promotes healthy digestion. The 40°C fermentation mode allows for stable fermentation regardless of room temperature.

Ingredients (Serves 4-5)

- 200g bran flour mix
- 200ml water
- 1 egg
- 2g salt
- 3g dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except the olive oil.
2. Once mixed, add olive oil and knead for about 10 minutes until completely mixed.
3. Transfer the mixture to the inner pot, set to 40°C fermentation for 40 minutes, and start cooking.
4. Check the dough; if it retains a fingerprint, remove it and gently press to release gas. If it seals too quickly, allow for additional fermentation.
5. Return the dough, set for another 40°C fermentation, and start.
6. Once doubled in size, switch to cake mode to bake. Let cool before slicing.

3. Chicken Nuggets with Okara for Post-Workout Recovery

These okara-infused nuggets are a healthier alternative to traditional breaded nuggets, containing significantly less carbohydrates. Okara is rich in plant-based proteins, aiding in muscle recovery and growth, making it a perfect post-workout meal. Using chicken breast helps manage calories while providing substantial satisfaction.

Ingredients (Serves 3-4)

- 1 chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons okara powder
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1/4 onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pepper as desired
- 1 tablespoon aonori (dried green seaweed)
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon powdered cheese
- Extra okara powder for coating

Instructions

1. Add oil to the inner pot up to the L0.5 mark. Set to frying mode for 40 minutes and start.
2. Soak the okara powder in water until ready.
3. Mince the onion and finely chop the chicken breast until it's ground.
4. Mix the chicken, okara, onion, salt, and pepper.
5. Divide the mixture; mix aonori into one half, and curry powder with cheese into the other half.
6. Shape the mixture into bite-sized nuggets and coat with okara powder before frying.
