1. The best time to put oil in: The oil should be put in when the pot is 80% hot, because when the oil temperature reaches above 200℃ when cooking, a harmful gas will be produced, which is the main component of oil smoke.

4. The best time to put cooking wine and MSG: The best time to put cooking wine is when the temperature in the pot is the best. MSG is best added when the pot is boiling. Because when heated above 120°C, MSG will turn into coked monosodium glutamate, which not only has no umami flavor, but is also toxic. In addition, it should be noted that excessive intake of MSG will put various nerve functions in the human body into a state of resistance, resulting in adverse reactions such as dizziness, headache, and muscle atrophy. In addition, the elderly, infants, and patients with high blood pressure and kidney disease should avoid or eat less MSG. 7LR Recipe Network Fuzhou Food
