Why do you want to eat eel on Dragon Boat Festival?
Monopterus albus, through artificial breeding, can be eaten all year round now, while it used to be eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. After a winter's storage and a spring's recovery, coupled with warmer weather and abundant food sources, the wild eels in the Dragon Boat Festival are particularly strong and fat. At this time, the eels are tender and tender, which is the best time to choose food.
In addition, Monopterus albus is also one of the "Huang Wu" of the Dragon Boat Festival. In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Hangzhou is called May Yellow Moon, named after five kinds of food with "yellow" sounds. In the tradition of Jiangnan people, they eat "Huang Wu" on the Dragon Boat Festival-Monopterus albus, yellow croaker, cucumber, salted egg yolk and realgar wine (realgar is poisonous, and ordinary rice wine is generally used instead of realgar wine).
At noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, the most suitable meal for Huang Wu is to mix five kinds of yellow food. Because the theory of traditional Chinese medicine holds that the Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is the peak of yang in a year, and noon is the peak of yang in a day, we can use the power of the solar terms of the Dragon Boat Festival to curb bad luck and improve our energy.

How to eat healthy eels?
The eel must be fried thoroughly.
It should be reminded that eels must be slaughtered and cooked now. There are a lot of histidine in eels, and the histidine in eels will be converted into toxic substances after death, so the processed eels must be alive. Monopterus albus scalded with boiling water can wash away the mucous membrane outside, and the boiled soup can reduce the fishy smell.
Generally eating fish, everyone likes the feeling of being tender. Many times, in order to ensure the tender taste of the eel, stir-fry it in the pot a few times, and it is very likely that the eel is not fully mature inside. There is a parasite in eel, which must be completely cooked before it can be killed. If people eat half-life eels, they are likely to be infected with this parasite.
