China people's traditional eating habits are mainly plant-based foods. The staple food is grain, the supplementary food is vegetables, plus a small amount of meat. The main reason for the formation of this custom is that agricultural production is the main type of economic production in the Central Plains. But in different classes, the proportion of food distribution is different. Therefore, in ancient times, people in power were called "meat eaters".

Hot food and cooked food are the main features of China people's eating habits. ?

1, cooking. Stir-frying may be the most common cooking method in life, and it is also the cooking method used by many families almost every day. Stir-frying is divided into quick frying and slow frying. Quick stir-frying refers to quick stir-frying with quick fire. Most green vegetables are cooked in this way, which can retain nutrients, especially vitamins, to the greatest extent. However, slow frying will lose more nutrients. The best way to stir-fry in life is to stir-fry quickly with a big fire, but we should also pay attention to the fact that vegetables must be cooked.

2, boiled. Boiling water is a healthy cooking method, but it should be distinguished from eating hot pot. Cooking with boiling water can also maintain the nutrients of ingredients to a great extent, but some water-soluble vitamins will be lost with boiling water. In addition, the calories of boiled vegetables are relatively low, which is a more suitable cooking method during weight loss. Most nutritious and healthy meals are cooked in boiling water.

Step 3 steam. Steaming is also a common healthy cooking method, which can also maintain the original nutrition to a great extent. Cut vegetables before washing them. When washing vegetables, the contact area between cut vegetables and water will be greatly increased, which will easily lead to the loss of water-soluble vitamins such as B vitamins and vitamin C and some minerals. The correct way is to wash the vegetables carefully first and try to control the water before cutting. Need to be reminded that it is best to cook the cut vegetables immediately and leave them for no more than two hours, otherwise it will easily lead to the oxidation of some nutrients.
