Because of its close geographical relationship, South Korea is influenced by China in education, language, clothing culture and so on, and naturally there are similarities in medical concepts. In particular, Korean traditional medicine has a theory of harmony between man and nature, which emphasizes that the human body should be in harmony with the natural environment: it is generally believed that eating warm food in winter is actually a way of eating against nature, whereas eating cold food in winter and eating warm food in summer is the only way that conforms to it.
Korean black wheel soup: Korean black wheel set has a variety of fillings, including hot dogs, seaweed, rice cakes, crabs and so on. They are also slightly fried and heated, and served with sauce. Common black wheel sauces are yellow mustard sauce and ketchup.
Nutritionists suggest that nutritionists basically don't recommend eating fish dishes or black wheels often, because these foods are processed products, and starch and salt are easy to be too high. On the contrary, for the common Guandong cooking in Taiwan Province Province, you can choose mushrooms and vegetables rich in dietary fiber, eat the prototype of food, or choose high-quality tofu from protein, which has a higher CP value.

It is a very classic snack dish in Korea. It is also very common in Taiwan Province Province in recent years and can be seen in many Korean restaurants.
Nutritionists suggest that pepper itself is rich in vitamin C, which is good for health. It can also help the body to get rid of heat and sweat, which is quite suitable for winter consumption. However, the salt content of Korean cuisine is usually too high, and the heat of sauce should not be underestimated. Remember to add more water after eating.
Red bean porridge must be eaten on the winter solstice: Koreans think that evil spirits are afraid of red, and the winter solstice has the shortest day and the longest night, so Koreans will scatter red beans around the house to drive away evil spirits and eat a bowl of red bean porridge. However, Korean red bean porridge is not sweet, and unexpected ingredients are added, such as chestnuts, ginkgo, black beans and rice cakes, cinnamon powder and so on.
Nutritionists suggest that Korean red bean porridge is healthier than Taiwan Province red bean soup, because it is rich in iron, fiber and protein. Potassium ions in red beans can help eliminate edema after removing excess sugar and adding red beans, chestnuts and black beans.

In traditional Korean customs, cold noodles are eaten on the fourth day of the first month and birthdays, just like longevity dishes, which means longevity. The main ingredients of cold noodles are buckwheat noodles, cucumbers, pears, beef and boiled eggs. And add ice cubes to the soup base to make the noodles more elastic.
Nutritionist suggested that nutritionist Zhao said that the nutritional value of cold noodles is not far from that of Hu spicy soup noodles, but from the point of view of conditioning physique, it is still not recommended to eat iced food often. In addition, there is still a gap between people in Taiwan Province Province and Koreans, so it is not necessary to learn to eat cold food in winter.
