Do you know:
Pork Heart: Pork heart is a nutrient-dense food, providing a rich source of protein, with approximately 28 grams in a 100-gram serving. It's also low in fat and contains only about 112 calories per 100 grams. This organ meat is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin B12, which is crucial for nerve function and the formation of red blood cells, and zinc, which supports immune function. It also contains a significant amount of iron, which is necessary for oxygen transport in the body. However, like other organ meats, pork heart is high in cholesterol, with around 250 milligrams per 100 grams, which is over half of the recommended daily limit. Therefore, individuals with high cholesterol or heart disease should consume it in moderation.
Garlic: Garlic is a powerhouse of nutrition. It's low in calories but rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6, and manganese. It also contains trace amounts of various other nutrients, making it a very beneficial addition to most diets. Garlic is known for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to combat sickness, including the common cold. It can also reduce blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels, which may lower the risk of heart disease. However, garlic also contains FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols), which can cause digestive problems in some people, especially those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Additionally, consuming too much garlic can lead to bad breath and body odor.
For weight watchers, both pork heart and garlic can be included in a balanced diet. However, due to the high cholesterol content in pork heart, it should be consumed in moderation. Garlic, on the other hand, is generally safe to consume but should also be eaten in moderation to avoid potential digestive issues.
Nguyên liệu
1 pork heart, cleaned and sliced thin
4 large garlic cloves
A pinch of salt
Pepper
Tomato salad:
Fresh tomatoes or cherry/date tomatoes (they taste even better), cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt
Cooking oil
Juice of half a lemon
A pinch of cilantro, thinly sliced
1 onion, sliced thin or diced (as shown in the video clip). If you find the flavor too strong, you can rinse the sliced onion 2 or 3 times with water; this will make the onion milder and crispier, enhancing its taste
Cách làm
Sauté the garlic until fragrant, add the pork heart, and stir-fry quickly until it firms up.

Serve the braised pork heart with rice and the tomato salad. I really like this dish because the tomato salad balances the richness of the pork heart (or liver, if used), making it very delicious and pleasing to the palate.
Good luck to everyone!
