As the saying goes: "Fish is not garlic, beef is not leeks, and meat is not ginger" What does it mean? Let's take a look together
"Fish without garlic":
The nutritional value of this fish is very high, containing folic acid, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin A, iron, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients.
It is rich in magnesium, which has a good protective effect on the cardiovascular system and is beneficial to the prevention of hypertension, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases.
Fish contains a lot of protein, such as yellow croaker with 17.6% protein, hairtail with 18.1%, mackerel with 21.4%, silver carp with 18.6%, carp with 17.3%, crucian carp with 13%.
The protein contained in fish is a complete protein. The amount and ratio of essential amino acids contained in protein are most suitable for the needs of the human body, and are easily digested and absorbed by the human body.
Do not use garlic when cooking fish. The fish itself has a light and delicious taste. It is best to steam it to taste the original flavor of the fish. If you put too much minced garlic in the fish, the strong garlic smell will overwhelm the original fresh taste and taste of the fish.
"Cows are not leeks":
Beef is rich in protein, vitamin B group, amino acid, calcium, phosphorus. Beef is a nutrient rich in protein and amino acid, which is closer to the needs of the human body than pork.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine diet, beef enters the spleen, the stomach meridian of weak spleen and stomach, no thinking about eating, decreased appetite, and poor digestion. Eating beef in moderation has a good nourishing effect on the spleen and stomach.
Beef has the effects of invigorating the middle and replenishing qi, nourishing the spleen and stomach, strengthening the muscles and bones, reducing phlegm and expelling wind, and quenching thirst and saliva.
Beef is best not to appear in the same dish with leeks. Food also has causes that generate and overcome each other. From a health standpoint, beef is a warming ingredient and leeks are also a sunny plant. These two ingredients are made together and can have adverse effects on people's health when consumed.
"Meat without ginger":
Mutton is one of the main meats eaten by the Chinese. Lamb is more tender than pork and fatter than pork and beef. It has less cholesterol.
Mutton is rich in fat, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., especially the content of calcium and iron is significantly higher than that of beef and pork, and the content of cholesterol is low. It is an excellent food for nourishing the body.
Mutton has always been considered as one of the important foods for winter supplements. Often eating mutton in winter can invigorate qi and invigorate deficiency, promote blood circulation, and enhance cold resistance.
Do not put ginger when cooking meat dishes. Adding ginger when stewing mutton not only cannot remove the taste of mutton, but also makes the taste of mutton stronger and stronger.
