Introduction: The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and the Mid-Autumn night feast is a time for family reunions and gatherings with friends. While enjoying the festivities, it's important to ensure that our diet is scientifically sound and nutritionally balanced to promote good health.
How to Properly Pair Dishes for the Mid-Autumn Reunion Feast:
1. Main and Side Dish Balance
The intake of animal-based foods should not exceed that of plant-based foods. A proper balance between main and side dishes is an essential prerequisite for nutritional equilibrium.
2. Meat and Vegetable Pairing
Balancing meat and vegetables can stimulate appetite and maintain a well-rounded nutrient intake. Eating fish is preferable to consuming pork, beef, lamb, or poultry. Additionally, the flavors of hot and cold dishes should be skillfully adjusted between sweet and salty to ensure a full range of tastes that will enhance one’s appetite.
3. Coarse and Fine Grain Combination
It is advisable to consume some coarse grains and high-fiber foods, ensuring a mix of coarse and fine grains to aid digestion.
4. Lean and Fatty Meat Balance
Meat consumption should be limited but of high quality, with a focus on lean meats over fatty ones. Opt for lighter flavors and consider choices such as beef, dog meat, rabbit, pigeon, pig trotters, aspic made from meat skin, chicken, duck, or goose feet, as well as seafood. Fish and meat should ideally be prepared using steaming methods, avoiding excessive frying or grilling.
