Selection of ingredients for hot salad/

Theoretically, all 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 with other vegetables.

The ingredients of hot salad need to be heated. Therefore, root vegetables, various fungi and seafood and meat rich in protein in autumn and winter are highly recommended.

Root vegetables mainly refer to vegetables with a part of food in the soil, including potatoes, radishes, carrots, taro, sweet potatoes, yams and so on.

Fungi are recommended to choose fleshy ones, such as Tricholoma, Pleurotus eryngii and Crab-flavored mushrooms. For meat, it is recommended to choose chicken and beef, which are higher in protein and relatively less in fat, or all kinds of seafood, such as shrimp, scallops, salmon and tuna, etc.

In particular, root vegetables, fungi and meat are not suitable for raw food, which is the best choice for making "hot salad".

Cooking method of hot salad &; Sauce matching/

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 will the operation be simple, but the original flavor of the ingredients will be kept as much as possible.

The usual practice is to treat all the ingredients, put them all together like ordinary salads, pour in the sauce and mix well. This is also the difference between "hot salad" and ordinary stews, stir-fried dishes and oven dishes.

In addition to the common sauces used in ordinary salads, "hot salads" are also suitable for matching with heavy seasonings such as cheese powder, cheese slices, cream, Chili powder, garlic and curry powder, and can combine a variety of salads with rich flavor, rich layers and great appetite.

Eating "hot salad" in winter can not only eat many kinds of vegetables at a time, but also warm food can accelerate the basic metabolism of the body, which is very suitable for people who exercise in winter and are afraid of gaining weight.
