Bought green beans, eggs and onions. Then forgot to buy minced pork. Getting old forgot this and that. So, today simple meal to go with rice.

“Green beans are young pods of the common bean plant, low in calories and fat, and high in fiber, vitamins K, A, and C, and folate. They offer benefits such as improved heart health, digestion, and bone strength, while their nutrients help manage blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and fight inflammation.”

“Eggs are a nutritious and affordable source of high-quality protein and essential vitamins/minerals, including 𝐵12, selenium, and choline. They support eye health, muscle maintenance, and weight management, containing all nine essential amino acids. One large egg provides about 6 grams of protein and is rich in choline, which benefits cognitive function and mood. Additionally, eggs are a good source of antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin and contain Vitamins A, D, E, and B12, important for immune and bone health.”

“Onions are nutrient-dense bulb vegetables from the Allium family, offering health benefits such as improved heart health, lower blood sugar, reduced inflammation, and better bone density. They contain antioxidants like quercetin that help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Regular onion consumption may help manage diabetes, strengthen bone density, and support gut health due to their prebiotic content. Additionally, they are linked to a reduced risk of certain cancers, including stomach, colorectal, and prostate cancer.”

Glad my three ingredients are healthy ingredients, though I didn’t have minced pork. I serve it with rice and leftover can have it with noodles. It’s comforting and delicious. Let’s cook!!!
