Second, how to cook delicious and nutritious soup?

I believe everyone knows that the old fire soup in Guangdong is spicy enough. Of course, the soup stewed in this way is delicious, but the nutrients in the ingredients are lost. Here are some tips to pay attention to.

1, meat and bones must bleed first, that is, burn a pot of warm water and put the meat and bones in boiling water until they foam. Then take out the meat and bones and rinse them with cold water. Take another pot of water and make soup.

2, fish, first fry the fish with a small amount of oil, and then cook with cold water. The fish soup cooked in this way is delicious and tasteless, and the soup is milky white Fish with thorns can be wrapped in gauze special for cooking fish and then put into the soup pot.

3, the material that must be put into the soup: ginger, do not need one or two pieces. Because meat and fish have a strong smell, you can put ginger slices to remove the smell and cold. Note: Too much ginger is just a pot of ginger. Another material: candied dates, an essential material for Guangdong people to cook soup, can add some natural sweetness and nutrition to the soup, and the boiled soup is fresh and sweet without monosodium glutamate.

4, soup must be cold water pot, avoid adding cold water in the middle, because the heated meat shrinks when it is cold, protein is not easy to dissolve, and the soup loses its original flavor. At the same time, avoid putting salt too early, because putting salt too early will solidify the protein in the meat, make the soup darker and the concentration is not enough.

5, the materials should be sufficient, the water should be appropriate: some people's soup is always bad, because the materials are very small, a large pot of water, the soup is still clear and tasteless. So be careful not to add too much water here, which is generally 2 to 2.5 times the moisture of the ingredients.

6, soup fire, the time should not be too long: generally controlled at 1.5 hours. After the fire boils, don't turn to low fire immediately, turn to medium fire for 20 minutes, and then turn to medium fire 1 hour. Some people later turned a small fire, but they didn't see the soup change color for a long time.

7, how to judge whether the soup is cooked: Usually when cook the meat and bones, you can use chopsticks to clip the meat in, it is easy to clip it in. After the soup is cooked, the color of the soup will change from clear to turbid, slightly white.

Third, what should I pay attention to in autumn and winter tonic?

One note: it varies from card to card.

Many people compare the tonic function with their own diseases and think that it will not be bad. Actually, this is unscientific. What is the main function of tonic? Make up for the shortcomings and losses? Deficiency is divided into four types: qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency and yang deficiency, each of which has different methods to supplement it. As the saying goes: the medicine is consistent with the certificate, and rhubarb is also supplemented; If the medicine is wrong, ginseng antler is also poisonous. In addition, people's physique is different from cold and heat, and food is also different from cold and warm. What is the key to tonic? Cold or hot? Or? Hot people are cold? . Making up for mistakes is harmful to your health.

For example, both of them are invigorating qi, but the effects of ginseng and tonic American ginseng are completely different. Ginseng is warm, suitable for yang deficiency? Cold syndrome? Anyone who is full of qi, has a hot body, has a slippery and strong pulse, and has poor urination but is really hot should not take ginseng. American ginseng is cool in nature and is generally used for heat syndrome. It is suitable for people with yin deficiency such as weakness, dry mouth and thirst, lung yin deficiency such as dry throat and cough, and yin deficiency such as hot flashes and chronic cough in the afternoon.

Note: It varies from place to place.

When making supplements, we should not only consider our own physical differences, but also consider the areas where we live. This is also crucial. For example, in the northwest and northeast of winter, the weather is cold, so it is necessary to make up some high-temperature and high-calorie flavors, such as mutton and venison, and tonics such as ginseng wine do have the function of strengthening the body, keeping out the cold and helping the yang.

Although the south of the Yangtze River has entered the winter, the temperature is much milder than that in the north, so the tonic should be light and sweet, such as chickens, ducks and geese. If Jiangnan people eat more mutton and venison, it is easy to get hot and dry, and there will be symptoms such as sore throat, aphtha and nosebleeds. In areas with less rainfall and dry climate, it is better to use less, especially lily, water chestnut, lotus root, pear and other fruits and vegetables.

Note: It varies with seasons.

According to the viewpoint of TCM health preservation, tonic should be promoted in spring, clear in summer, light in summer, flat in autumn and warm in winter. It is cold in winter, and cold pathogens are easy to hurt kidney yang, so it is appropriate to eat warm food. In addition to the daily staple food and various vegetables and fruits, you can eat mutton, beef and other meat with enough calories. When stewing mutton, if it is combined with angelica and astragalus, it can replenish qi and blood, especially for those who are afraid of cold in winter, cold hands and feet, and easy to catch a cold.

Four notes: you can't take medicine.

As the so-called medicine and food are homologous, many foods are also good tonics, and they are convenient and affordable, so don't worry about any side effects. However, while clarifying the difference between food supplement and medicine supplement, we should also make appropriate supplements according to personal physique, such as kidney deficiency in the elderly, and eat more foods that can tonify the kidney and resist aging, such as walnuts, chestnuts, pig kidneys, turtles and so on. In order to prevent neurasthenia and delay brain aging, you can eat more brain-strengthening and sleep-promoting foods, such as pig brain, lily, jujube and so on. Patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease should eat more celery, spinach, black fungus, hawthorn and kelp. In order to prevent vision loss, you should eat more carrots, pig liver, melons and so on.

Five notes: medicinal liquor should be used with caution.

In recent years, all kinds of medicinal liquor are very popular in the tonic market, which also makes many elderly friends who are willing to drink a little wine flock to it. In fact, although drugs can be soaked in wine, some effective components of drugs can be leached, but the effective components in medicinal liquor are still limited every time. If you drink too much medicinal liquor, the harm of alcohol is far greater than the efficacy. You should consider your own situation when taking medicinal liquor, and you must not overdo it. For example, people with fever due to yin deficiency should use it with caution, and patients with hepatitis, cirrhosis, peptic ulcer and chronic nephritis should not use it.
