I tasted a mouthful and realized that my grandmother used lard to fry the green vegetables, so there was a fishy smell.
I said, "Let's not use lard to fry vegetables, the baby doesn't like it, and I don't like it too much either.
Grandma said: We are there to use lard, so more fragrant ah!
Grandpa also agreed.
The lard is not specially bought, it is bought from the meat, and the fat part is used to refine the oil. People don't like to eat fatty meat, so they use lard to fry vegetables without wasting it.
I said: lard fried vegetables can also be, but do not use to fry green vegetables it. Green vegetables are supposed to be light, or use vegetarian oil.
Grandpa asked: What do you think is suitable for frying with lard?
I said: meat dishes!
I said: meat dishes, suitable for frying meat dishes, use lard, anyway, are meat.
Grandma said: we are the opposite, lard fried green vegetables, vegetarian oil is used to fry meat dishes. I'm not sure why you'd want to use lard when you've already got meat on your plate.
......
Later I analyzed, our point of contention. I don't like the smell of lard, so I think it's a bad thing and I don't want it to "pollute" the vegetables. On the other hand, my grandparents like the smell of lard, so they think of lard as a good thing to enhance the flavor and "empower" the vegetables.
Of course, these are all related to life experience, eating habits, no right or wrong.
And these small things, in today's family is very common, if not handled well, may also be a conflict trigger.
Today, I read an article and realized that there are really different habits in different places about stir-frying green vegetables. In addition to our family encountered fried vegetables to not use lard, there are:
Fried green vegetables to not put water?
Fried green vegetables, should I put soy sauce?
Stir frying bok choy, should I put chili?
Should I use meat oil or vegetable oil?
Do you want to add water? Should I add soy sauce? Should I add chili?
In fact, it's all about what the public says, and what the mother-in-law says.
How to solve it?
The simplest thing is that whoever cooks and whoever is in charge has the final say.
The person who eats the ready-made meals, will eat more if he wants to, and less if he doesn't.
The person who eats the ready-made meals, will eat more if he wants to.
If you really can't eat, you can also put forward your own feelings and requests, and ask the cook to take care of it.
Of course, the person doing the cooking has been doing it for so many years that he is used to it, and it may be a bit difficult to get him to change. Denying him the way he's been cooking for so many years before might leave him at a loss.
So, there is another way, want to eat something, want to follow their own ideas, make dishes that suit their own taste, then do it yourself!
That's why it's so important in this day and age to learn how to cook! If you can do it yourself, at least you won't be condemned to eat what you want to do yourself.
So make sure you teach your kids to cook for themselves.
