In the past, when it comes to potatoes, people always think of Western food practices, such as potato salad, potato chips, mashed potatoes. Here I'd like to introduce you to the practice of potato New Year's Cake.
Take 4 to 5 potatoes and cook them. After mashing a bowl of leftover rice, mix it with boiled potatoes and add 200 grams of starch bit by bit. Knead until the hardness of the dough is similar to that of the earlobes. Knead the dough into a rod about 5 cm in diameter and cut it into a 1.5 cm thick disc. Heat butter in a pan and bake the rice cakes until they are brown on both sides. New Year's Cake slices baked with butter are delicious, sweet and nutritious. Unbaked rice cakes can be frozen.

As we all know, carrots are not only rich in carotene, but also rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other vitamins and minerals. Because vitamin B2 and folic acid in carrots have anti-cancer effect, regular consumption can enhance the anti-cancer ability of the human body, so it is called "cancer prevention vegetables". A study by American scientists shows that eating carrots regularly can prevent lung cancer.
Carrots also contain an enzyme that breaks down vitamin C, vitamin C oxidase, so eating carrots with vitamin C-rich white radishes will greatly reduce the nutritional value of white radishes. However, adding a small amount of vinegar when cooking carrots and white radishes can protect vitamin C from being destroyed. The vinegar and shredded radish, which Japanese often eat during the Spring Festival, is a dish with reasonable mix and rich nutrition.
