The must-have supplement for postpartum confinement is sesame oil chicken, but do you know? Drinking a bowl of sesame oil chicken contains about 1,000 calories, which is equivalent to at least 4 bowls of rice. The calorie content is surprisingly high! Although sesame oil chicken has many benefits for postpartum women, nutritionists still remind us to pay attention to the time of eating sesame oil chicken, avoid the sequelae of excessive calories, and pay attention to the cooking method to ensure that we will not gain weight during the confinement period and cannot lose weight even if we want to.

Sesame oil chicken can help the uterus contract, and chicken is rich in protein which can help physical recovery, and the oil will stimulate the secretion of milk. When cooking sesame oil chicken, sesame oil is mostly used to stir-fry old ginger, so that the effects of ginger can be brought into play, such as dispelling cold and unblocking meridians. In addition, sesame oil can lubricate the uterus and promote its contraction; ginger and wine can strengthen the heart and help the uterus expel lochia faster. Once the lochia is discharged, the uterus can recover easily.

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that traditional sesame oil chicken is high in fat, meat and low in fiber. If postpartum women eat too much, it will increase the burden on their bodies. It is best to start eating sesame oil chicken two weeks after giving birth. You can eat it once every two days and gradually increase the amount. Mothers with a hot constitution are not suitable to eat too much sesame oil chicken, as they are prone to rashes or skin allergies.

Sesame Oil Chicken Cooking without Oil

1. Remove the chicken skin before cooking to avoid excessive fat intake.

2. Fried sesame oil is more likely to cause a sore throat, so it is recommended not to stir-fry sesame oil.

3. When cooking sesame oil chicken traditionally, you may pour in half a bottle of rice wine or half a bowl of sesame oil. However, since sesame oil and rice wine are high in calories, they are a big burden for postpartum women. It is recommended to add 10 to 20 cc of rice wine, and about 5 to 10 grams of sesame oil is enough.
