There is no trouble that a hot pot can't solve.
If not.
Then eat two meals!
Whether it's Chongqing hotpot, Chengdu hotpot, or old Beijing shabu shabu shabu ... meat is always the soul of hotpot.
But have you found that no matter what hot pot you eat, there are often some pieces of lettuce and meat under the plate, and kelp needs a knot? Why?
Red with green increases appetite.
Meat is generally red and lettuce is green. A few pieces of lettuce were spread under the meat, and the red and green tones collided. The whole dish looks more exciting to the taste buds.
Quietly make the meat look more.
The second reason is actually the cleverness of the store. The meat rolls and slices cooked in hot pot will be cut very thin, and a plate of meat is actually not much. If only meat is put on the plate, diners will inevitably think that the meat is really thin and the money is not worth it.
If you put a layer of lettuce under the meat and the uneven leaves hold the meat slices, the weight of a plate of meat will be much more visually.
Avoid direct contact between meat slices and plates.
Some pickled meats, such as spicy beef, tender beef and shrimp paste, are sticky and oily.
Spread a few slices of lettuce on the bottom of the plate to avoid direct contact between the meat and the plate, make the plate easy to clean and reduce the time of dishwasher.
Cover up the blood
Both mutton rolls and fat beef rolls in hot pot restaurants are frozen. When they are served on the table, there will be blood oozing when they melt, which will make people lose their appetite. A few slices of lettuce can solve this problem well.
So when you eat hot pot, how do you solve the lettuce under the meat? Shall we put the lettuce in the hot pot together, or leave it on the plate for the waiter to take away?
Can the lettuce under the meat be eaten?
Lettuce will be contaminated with meat.
If lettuce is placed under meat ingredients such as beef and chicken, with the melting of meat, blood will be immersed in lettuce, resulting in the fishy smell of lettuce. This kind of lettuce has been polluted. If it is not cooked thoroughly, lettuce will remain bacteria, which will affect health after eating.
Lettuce as cushion leaves is easy to smell fishy.
Lettuce is not only placed under the meat, but also on the plate of seafood ingredients in many cases. The smell of seafood will also condense in lettuce. After raw oysters, shrimps, clams, piranhas and other ingredients come into contact with lettuce, the leaves of lettuce will also smell fishy.
Go down to the hot pot and cook it before eating. Lettuce has a strong smell. Friends with weak gastrointestinal function may have nausea after eating it.
Generally speaking, it is still not recommended for everyone to eat.
Why does kelp knot?
Prevent nutrient loss
Nutritionally, kelp is rich in iodine, but it is easy to lose iodine during high-temperature cooking.
Compared with scattered kelp, knotted kelp can retain more iodine and rich nutrition.
Convenient to eat
Secondly, some algin and alginic acid are attached to the surface of kelp, which makes it sticky. After high-temperature cooking, the surface is sticky, and it is easy to stick to each other or to the wall of the pot. If you are not careful, it will paste the pot.
Knotted kelp can avoid this situation to a great extent; At the same time, it is also convenient for us to take it. For friends who love kelp, it should be loud when eating hot pot!
