Selection of ingredients for hot salad/
Theoretically, all the ingredients of ordinary salad can be used. However, in order to ensure the taste, some vegetables suitable for cold food, such as lettuce and cucumber, are suggested to be replaced by other vegetables.
The ingredients of a hot salad need to be heated. Therefore, root vegetables, various fungi and seafood and meat rich in protein in autumn and winter are strongly recommended.
Root vegetables mainly refer to vegetables whose food is in the soil, including potatoes, radishes, carrots, taro, sweet potatoes, yams and so on.
Mushrooms are recommended to be fleshy, such as Tricholoma, Pleurotus eryngii, and Crab-flavored mushrooms. As for meat, it is suggested to choose chicken and beef with high content and relatively low fat in protein, or various seafood, such as shrimp, scallop, salmon and tuna.
In particular, root vegetables, fungi and meat are not suitable for raw food and are the best choice for making "hot salads".
Cooking method of hot salad &; Sauce collocation/
The cooking methods of hot salad mainly include steaming, boiling and baking in the oven, and the ingredients will not be processed too complicated. Not only is the operation simple, but also the original flavor of the ingredients will be preserved as much as possible.
The usual practice is to handle all the ingredients, put them all together like a normal salad, and pour in the sauce and mix well. This is also the difference between "hot salad" and ordinary stew, stir-fry and oven dish.
