Monsters like to steam Tang Priest. I don't like steaming, but I don't like braising in soy sauce and cooking. The root cause is attributed to Wu Cheng'en, the author of The Journey to the West. Wu Cheng'en likes steamed food very much. These monsters in his works will naturally follow the example of Wu Cheng'en and Steam Tang Priest.

First of all, these monsters think that steaming food can better ensure the original flavor of food. As we all know, this proverb in The Journey to the West is: You can live forever with a bite of Tang monk's meat. After catching the Tang Priest, these monsters will naturally choose the safest way to eat him. Of course, eating raw is not conducive to disciples coming to Tang Priest, so choose the most nutritious way to eat, steaming.

And we all know that Journey to the West lived in the Tang Dynasty, when there was no current speculation. At that time, there were basically only three ways to cook food, namely, roasting, steaming and boiling. Moreover, boiling and roasting may kill Tang Priest at once, which is not conducive to the Monkey King and others to come to the rescue, and it is most suitable for steaming.

Another reason is because of Wu Cheng'en, who is from Huai 'an. One of Huai 'an people's favorite cooking methods of Huaiyang cuisine is steaming. Wu Cheng'en, a native of Huai 'an, naturally likes to eat steamed vegetables. Moreover, many celebrities in history like steaming food, just like Li Yu in the Ming Dynasty highly praised this steaming. He thinks: People who can make fresh fertilizer come out of generate are innocent, dull to Xian Yi, not worried about the heat, and are best at steaming. ?

When Wu Cheng'en wrote about how the monsters in Journey to the West cooked Tang Priest, he considered his own taste on the one hand and nutrition on the other. The last question is how to cook Tang Priest, so that the Monkey King and others can rescue Tang Priest immediately.
