Tips for buying "red meat and white meat"

(1) Red meat and white meat have different nutritional values and different prices. Although it is generally cheaper to eat white meat, they are more nutritious.

(2) When cooking white meat, steaming or boiling is generally recommended, because white meat itself contains more fat. If it is still fried, it is generally easy to get tired and get fat.

(3) Because the saturated fat of red meat itself is high, it is suggested that when frying meat, the pot should be heated as much as possible, and then the meat slices should be fried after the oil is cooled. Don't burn the oil too hot, otherwise the vegetable oil will become trans fat due to high temperature, and frying with red meat is more likely to increase the risk of cardiovascular obstruction. It is suggested to marinate the meat slices first, then heat the pan and cool the oil before frying.
