Winter Health-preserving Dish 1: Baby Bok Choy. In traditional Chinese medicine, baby bok choy is believed to nourish the stomach and balance the body. It has a slightly bitter taste and is cooling in nature, promoting smooth digestion and benefiting the stomach. Baby bok choy is rich in vitamin C and calcium, as well as iron, phosphorus, carotene, and B vitamins. Additionally, there is the Western cabbage, also known as head cabbage, which is neutral in nature with a slightly bitter taste. It can benefit the heart and kidneys, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and has analgesic properties for gastric and duodenal ulcers while also promoting healing.

Winter Health-preserving Dish 2: Cauliflower. Cauliflower contains abundant vitamins. For every 200 grams of fresh cauliflower, it can provide more than 75% of the daily vitamin A requirement for adults. Its vitamin C content is particularly remarkable, reaching up to 80 milligrams per 100 grams, which is 3-4 times higher than common vegetables like Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts, and twice as much as citrus fruits.

Winter Health-preserving Dish 3: Celery. According to traditional Chinese medicine, celery is cooling in nature, calming the liver and strengthening the stomach. It has a sweet and pungent taste without toxicity, and is rich in protein, sugars, carotene, vitamin C, and amino acids. It can stimulate the central nervous system, increase gastric juice secretion, enhance appetite, and also has expectorant effects. Celery can be stir-fried with scallions or shredded meat for dishes that are colorful, fragrant, and appetizing.
