As the saying goes: 'Fish does not have garlic, cattle do not have leeks, sheep do not have ginger, pigs do not have pepper' What does it mean? Worth learning

Chinese culture not only reflects the wisdom and charm of individuals, but also reflects in all aspects of life, such as our daily diet, many people say that garlic is a treasure, and eating it regularly is good for the body, of course, there are many proverbs, especially in cooking , many people use it frequently, some just take it literally.

For example, chefs of the older generation often say: fish is not garlic, cattle are not leeks, sheep are not ginger, pigs are not pepper, but many people should not understand the true meaning, and the result is that the nutrition of the food itself is destroyed. I hope that after reading Give you a hint.

fish not garlic

Common fish in life can be roughly divided into three categories: warm in nature, cool in nature and flat in nature.

Warm - such as eel, loach, hairtail, grass carp. It can nourish blood and qi, but people with hot constitution and skin diseases should eat as little as possible.

Cool

—Such as cuttlefish, turtle, squid, etc. Generally, people with hot constitution can eat more in summer.

Sexual balance - such as yellow croaker, crucian carp, carp, etc., these fish can be eaten by people with cold and hot constitutions.

The so-called fish is not garlic. In fact, you can't put garlic in fish. In the past, most people ate wild fish. Now, after the improvement of living conditions, most fish are farmed, so the fishy smell will be heavier.

Garlic itself is a pungent condiment. Falsely adding fish will destroy the deliciousness of the fish itself. Now various cooking methods follow, and more and more condiments are added. Sometimes garlic has become an irreplaceable condiment.

Garlic can also be divided into many types, such as garlic kernels, garlic stems and garlic leaves. The fish is also delicious as long as you pay attention to the method and order. Therefore, we should choose whether to match according to different cooking methods.

Niu Bu Lie

Beef and leeks are common foods in life. They have high nutritional value and delicious taste, such as dumplings stuffed with leeks, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, etc. If eaten alone, their nutritional value is really high, but if leeks and beef are combined, they may lose their original effect.

The beef itself was delicious, but the flavor of the chives was strong. At the same time, it is accompanied by a spicy and stimulating taste. When the two are combined, the spicy taste of wine and vegetables will directly overwhelm the taste of beef. Eating too much can easily cause fire in the human body. The most common condition is mouth ulcers or oral inflammation, which is not conducive to maintaining good health.

Another point is, when cooking beef, don't mix the ingredients with the pepper. If the two are combined, it will affect the nutrition in the beef, and even produce the opposite effect. Not only can it not achieve the effect of removing fishy smell, but it will even destroy the fragrance. You may not want to eat it again.

sheep not ginger

Ginger is old and spicy, which is proof enough that many people may not like the dry mouth of ginger, mainly because of its high amount of gingerol. Ginger is rich in spicy and aromatic ingredients, among which there is a spicy ingredient "zingerone". We think that ginger tastes very spicy and smells a special taste, which is related to this substance.

Therefore, when using ginger, you can get rid of fishy smell and bad smell. Lamb itself is a very fishy meat. There is nothing wrong with properly adding ginger to the cooking process.

However, some pictures came to mind for many. For example, when a person drinks ginger soup, he will sweat all over his body. At the same time, some people will feel hot all over when eating mutton and drinking mutton soup, so adding ginger to mutton will make it very hot, "overwhelmingly hot", which is what we often call getting angry.

The reason put forward by the older generation of chefs is "sheep does not have ginger", and we should stand from this angle. As for whether to put ginger when making mutton, I personally suggest to put less ginger. You can use other seasonings to get rid of the fishy smell if you mind.

pig not pepper

Pork prices are very low today. Many people prefer to eat ribs or pork wash. Maybe you've heard of "pigs don't have peppers".

In many people's perception, it is best not to put chili when cooking pork. In fact, the pepper here mainly refers to pepper, which is a common condiment. Add it when cooking to improve the taste.

However, it is best not to add it when stewing pork. The main reason is that it will turn the pork into a special firewood, which will seriously affect the taste.

Maybe you already understand what "fish is not garlic, cattle are not leeks, and sheep are not" refers to. This should be left to us by the old people. I wonder if you think it is appropriate to do so?
