吃螞蟻抗癌症?
Eating ants could protect against cancer, study finds
Henry Bodkin, telegraph.co.uk
Eating ants and other insects could soon be recommended to protect against cancer, following a groundbreaking new study.
A series of experiments by Italian scientists show that the ubiquitous invertebrate - in common with others such as grasshoppers and crickets - contains high concentrations of antioxidants.
The compounds are important for reducing chemical reactions in the body that produce free radicals, which are themselves believed to raise the risk of cancer.
They have also been linked to higher chances of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
Antioxidants are present in a range of foods, including fruit and vegetables.
However, many of these consumed in the UK have a poor carbon footprint.
Food scientists believe western consumers will have to begin incorporating insects into their diet in coming decades, so a group at the University of Rome set out to discover the invertebrates’ antioxidant potential.
They found that after grinding down the insects, many had several times the concentration of antioxidants found in orange juice or olive oil, two of the items most frequently recommended to limit free radicals.
Water-soluble extracts of grasshoppers, silkworm and crickets displayed the highest values of antioxidant capacity, five-fold higher than fresh orange juice.
Meanwhile grasshoppers, black ants and mealworms contain the highest levels of total polyphenols, another way of characterising antioxidant potential.
Fat-soluble extracts of silkworm, giant cicada and Africa caterpillars showed an antioxidant capacity twice that of olive oil.
Professor Mauro Serafini, who led the research, said: “At least two billion people - a quarter of the world’s population - regularly eat insects.
“The rest of us will need a bit more encouragement.
“Edible insects are an excellent source of protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and fiber.
“But until now, nobody had compared them with classical functional foods such as olive oil or orange juice in terms of antioxidant activity.
“In the future, we might also adapt dietary regimens for insect rearing in order to increase their antioxidant content for animal or human consumption.”
Insects are gradually crawling their way into the UK diet.
Last November Sainsbury's announced it would become the first British supermarket to stock edible bugs, launching Eat Grub’s Smoky BBQ Crunchy Roasted Crickets in 250 stores across the country.

Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) 唐揚げ
Author: Nami
Karaage is Japanese fried chicken that is fried to perfection with a crisp texture on the outside and super juicy and tender on the inside.
Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) is a popular appetizer or main dish at home or restaurants and often f0und in a bento box.
Today I’m sharing more garlicky flavored chicken karaage recipe than my original Chicken Karaage recipe. Both karaage recipes are pretty similar, but if you enjoy strong garlic flavor, definitely go with this one.
In Japan potato starch (or katakuriko 片栗粉) is most commonly used as a coating for deep frying instead of corn starch. I was using corn starch when I first moved to the U.S. because it was easier to find at regular American supermarkets.
As we often substitute corn starch for potato starch or vice versa, I didn’t think too much. However, when I compared potato and corn starch side by side by rubbing them between my finger tips, I noticed they are quite different in texture. So I’ve decided to make karaage with these two types of starch and see which karaage tastes better.

Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken by Kirbie
Taiwanese popcorn chicken, also referred to as Crispy Chicken or Salt and Pepper Chicken, is a popular snack often found at tapioca/boba tea cafes.
The crunchy bite-sized pieces of chicken are dusted with a special mix of seasoning which makes them quite addicting. If you’ve never had them before or you’re a big fan of the snack, I definitely recommend you trying out this recipe
