Green vegetables are rich in minerals, chlorophyll, vitamin C and dietary fiber, which can supplement human nutrition and balance body functions. Similarly, in terms of eating green vegetables, both Guangdong and the mainland have a soft spot for green vegetables. But there are also differences, that is, Guangdong people like to eat light dishes, while the mainland pays more attention to spicy frying or deep frying.
Many Cantonese people like to rinse vegetables in hot pot for dinner, whether it's chicken, mutton or pork, such as spinach, Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, oily cabbage, lettuce and so on.
If Cantonese people can't live without vegetables, it is better to say that China people can't live without vegetables. Green vegetables are the most precious gifts in Cantonese life and the most unpretentious true love in all China people's lives.
Many friends in the north are concerned about Guangdong's eating habits. There are always all kinds of questions, such as:
"You Cantonese, why do you want to rinse the bowl before eating?" "Why do Cantonese people have to have green vegetables when eating?"
In fact, Cantonese people like luck in every moment of their lives, which makes everyone happy all day. Today, I will talk to you about Cantonese cuisine.
When having dinner with friends in Guangdong, I always add a green vegetable to every order. There can be no meat after a meal, but you can't lose vegetables. In the eyes of Cantonese people, "If you want to live decently, the table must be a little green". Even if it is a bowl of egg noodles, one or two vegetables should float on the soup to be complete and comfortable.
Cantonese people are obsessed with vegetables. Although it is often praised as "everything in the sky and underground", even Fujian people don't let go, but it seems that there are few big fat people. In addition to genetic factors, healthy eating habits should also contribute. There must be a plate of vegetables on the dining table of Cantonese people. As the older generation said, "If you don't eat green for three days, you won't walk straight."
Guangdong people's vegetables, but there can be no color difference, green is pleasing to the eye, and the locals pay attention to hygiene, and the ingredients must be in season. Of course, not all green vegetables are vegetables: celery, leek and Chinese toon, and they are not vegetables if they are too strong; Beans, cucumbers and loofahs don't even have leaves. How can you call it a green vegetable? Potatoes, yam, eggplant and vegetables must be watered! What about Chinese cabbage and Chinese cabbage? These two stalks are too many, neither green nor green.
Ha ha ha ha, for me, a northeastern person, I am often silly and confused!
Guangdong mother goes to the food market every day to buy the dishes just picked that day, then blanchs them with boiling water, and then pours them with delicious oyster sauce and soy sauce. This "white cooking" method preserves the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent. Of course, in order to enrich the taste, fresh ingredients such as shrimp paste, garlic, fermented bean curd and mushrooms can still be used. In short, green vegetables are interpreted as sweet and refreshing in Guangdong, which can not only be eaten, but also relieve boredom and keep in good shape.
There are many kinds of green vegetables in the south, such as lettuce, Chinese cabbage, rape, kale and spinach. Of course, there are also many regional characteristics, and foodies who like to hunt for novelty may wish to go to Guangdong to try it.
As a person from the coastal area of Guangdong, come and answer!
How do vegetables exist? Answer: "God-like existence".
This vegetable is not "Shanghai green" in the eyes of friends in southern Anhui and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, nor "rape" in the northeast.
Vegetables in Northeast China include: onion, green onion, chive, eggplant, tomato, potato, green pepper, cucumber and carrot. ...
There are differences in dietary concepts between the north and the south, while in the south, especially in Guangdong, green vegetables refer to green vegetables, crisp vegetables and leafy vegetables! It is a green vegetable. And you can't fry meat, such as "shredded pork with fish flavor" and "shredded pork with green pepper", which are not real vegetables.
The importance of green vegetables
Cantonese people order vegetables when they go to restaurants. Even order two dishes when there are many people. On the dining table, the last dish must be green vegetables. Is it not fruit? No, it's not a vegetable. All right! The same is true of all kinds of banquets. The dishes always come to the end, which means that all the dishes are here.
Vegetables have different meanings on different occasions. If it's a rural banquet, the last dish is probably green vegetables. Why?
Because of the banquet in the countryside, there will always be a "farewell dish" in the end, perhaps it is a customary rule! You should leave as soon as you finish this dish. What kind of dish is this? It varies from place to place. I heard that the "farewell dish" in East China is "egg soup", which means "fuck off soup", implying that you can go after eating. In contrast, the "green vegetables" in rural Guangdong are more elegant and subtle, without losing etiquette, and their Cantonese homonym "green vegetables" means "the last dish".
Why do Cantonese people love vegetables so much?
First, it is inseparable from the habit of growing up.
I don't know when I was taught that "green vegetables" are indispensable good food. Perhaps it was instilled in my elders from an early age and passed down from generation to generation.
Basically, except breakfast, lunch and dinner have a green vegetable, which is served every day for 365 days. I'm not bored, and I can catch up with the meal. Maybe South Renye Fang feels this way. After all, the north doesn't take rice as its staple food and eats pasta regularly, but I don't think it will get tired. The reason is the same.
Second, eating more green vegetables is good for health.
What I heard most when I was a child was that adults often told their children, "Eat more vegetables and grow up. Don't be picky about food, eat the vegetables quickly. When you have a sore throat, well, eat more vegetables. If you are angry, eat more vegetables.
Other dishes can be left on the table, but vegetables can't You must see the light at the bottom of the plate. Sometimes three people can eat more than two kilograms of vegetables, and even they feel quite powerful.
In the eyes of Cantonese, eating more green vegetables can supplement various nutrients and reduce fire. If you don't eat vegetables for two days a day, you really can't pull out Baba. It's strange, and you can't say why. It may be that green vegetables contain a variety of micronutrients, which have the effect of relaxing bowels, so they especially like to eat green vegetables.
Third, the charm of green vegetables.
There are many kinds of vegetables delicious in the south, but not in the other north.
Guangdong's "red cabbage" tastes crisp and tender, with endless aftertaste. If you want to achieve this state, you have to follow the secret of frying kale: "The fire is fierce, the fork is thick, and the soup is fishy." That is, the heat is bigger, the lard is more, and finally the fish sauce is flavored and fragrant, in one go! Fried kale is oily and green! Crisp roots and tender leaves! Sweet mouth!
The ancients also praised Su Shi's poem: "Chinese kale is like a mushroom, crisp and beautiful, with teeth and cheeks." Kale is another name for kale.
Western food, fried, sweet and tender, cooked and juicy, is the best. The soup boiled with fresh chicken or bones for several hours is used to soak watercress, which is beautiful! Eat it once, and promise to remember to eat it again.
Cooking with bone soup is very common in Guangdong restaurants, so how can such authentic food not leave people's hearts?
There are also "Shuidong mustard", "dwarf cabbage", hemp leaves, sweet potato leaves, pepper leaves and so on, all of which are undoubtedly delicious. Even friends in the north have stayed in Guangdong for a long time, and they are obsessed with this special dish, and they are used to the days when there are dishes.
Fourth, the soul mate in diet.
If there are no vegetables when eating, I always feel that the food is too greasy to eat. With the help of vegetables, I can stimulate my appetite. And in the environment of healthy eating, green vegetables are particularly important, green and healthy good things!
There is a folk proverb: "A day without meat is better than a day without vegetables". It is the embodiment of Guangdong people's stubbornness towards vegetables, the unshakable status of vegetables and the existence of vegetable pride.
The concern of the family outside is still the phrase "eat more vegetables and drink more soup in the future"
Well, this sentence is very incisive, very concise and in place!
The reason why vegetables can arouse the appetite of Cantonese people is not only a long-term habit, but more importantly, vegetables are really delicious and have many benefits. The benefits of eating more vegetables can be listed casually!
Beauty and weight loss
Relaxation and relaxation
Lowering blood lipid
Detoxification and detumescence
In fact, both the north and the south like to eat green vegetables, maybe it's just that northerners don't eat as much as southerners.
As an authentic Cantonese, I tell you that Cantonese love green vegetables beyond your imagination.
Unlike northerners, Cantonese people are not tired of eating meat. Cantonese people basically have a dish of green vegetables on every table, whether it's hot pot or home cooking, or eating out and drinking morning tea. Like cabbage with garlic shoots, it is the favorite vegetable in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, and the method is relatively light, because Guangdong people are afraid of humidity and heat, so they seldom stir-fry and generally boil it in water.
At present, lettuce is a seasonal dish in the heart of Guangdong, and these delicious Cantonese dishes are indispensable.
First, Cantonese people eat vegetables at every table. Cantonese people eat vegetables at the dinner table just like Sichuan people, Hunan people, Guizhou people and Jiangxi people eat peppers. People in these provinces have a saying at the dinner table that "everything is spicy and not delicious". As the old saying goes. Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy, Hunan people are not afraid of spicy, Guizhou people are not afraid of spicy, Jiangxi people are not afraid of spicy. It should be said that Cantonese people are afraid of eating without food. In Guangdong, the variety of vegetables is very rich, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits can be produced almost all year round. There are Cantonese people who buy food, and there are also Northeasters who buy food. It can be seen that Cantonese cuisine is still an indispensable ingredient on the table every day.
2. Green vegetables are easy to grow in Guangdong. There are also many varieties of green vegetables in Guangdong. Melons and beans are also rich in vegetables. The growth period of various vegetables is also very short, mainly because the warm and humid weather in Guangdong is more suitable for the growth period of various vegetables.
Third, green vegetables are rich in essential vitamins and chlorophyll. The combination of vegetables and meat is the best nutritious diet. Green vegetables are rich in more than 20 vitamins needed by human body. Cantonese people pay more attention to diet and nutrition balance. For example, cooking soup is even more particular. And the soup mix is also very scientific. Every household in Guangdong is good at making soup. The pig bones used in the soup are mainly fresh. In fact, Guangdong soup has long been the essence of Guangdong food culture.
I have a say in this question. My husband is from Guangdong and has a soft spot for vegetables. Sometimes I don't want to go out to buy food. I will cook whatever is at home. He will eat very little, but he also wants to eat meat. In fact, he can't eat much meat. Without meat, he would say no meat, so the best match is pork and vegetables. I have been married to him for almost 14 years, and my living habits are not much different. Have you noticed that they all eat rice and dry rice? Although we Sichuanese also live on rice, we occasionally eat noodles, rice noodles and porridge. When I got married, their family really cooked rice every day. My grandmother often serves two dishes, one is fried with meat and the other with vegetables. They are used to it. Now I buy food without vegetables, and I think it is perfect to eat delicious food without vegetables.
Anyway, a day without meat is ok, and a day without vegetables is not. What you want is green leafy vegetables, not melons, not beans!
In Guangdong, if the banquet guests don't prepare some green vegetables, such as raw fried hearts and soup and lettuce, the guests will wait until the end and think they haven't finished eating.
What kind of existence is green vegetables for Cantonese people? Although I am not from Guangdong, I can still answer this question, because the old young people in Guangxi have lived in Guangdong for more than ten years.
Cantonese people prefer to eat light food, even when cooking soup, they also like to make soup with dried vegetables. When I was in my twenties, I lived in Haizhu District, Guangzhou for more than 10 years. Cantonese fried rape is really delicious, and cabbage soup is also really delicious. Speaking of which, it reminds me of the days when I lived in Guangdong.
In a word, why do Cantonese people like to eat green vegetables is because green vegetables are rich in vitamins, and Cantonese people's cooking is very good. Even a green vegetable, Cantonese people can make all kinds of tricks. Guangdong has rich food experience and a long history.
Generally speaking, when Cantonese eat, green vegetables are an indispensable dish. I hope Cantonese people will come out and talk about it.
Finally, I wish the people of Guangdong a prosperous business, good health and abundant financial resources.
