The best hot pot for cooking fresh, sweet and not greasy vegetables. Some people eat greasy food and fat, while others can enjoy delicious food and keep healthy and in good shape. The key to the difference lies in the "soup base". Wu Lingyi, a nutritionist in the Nutrition Department of Renai Hospital of Beilian Hospital, also teaches you how to choose the soup base. Pay attention to the following four points:
1) Choose low-fat clear soup such as Japanese shabu-shabu, seaweed soup, tomato soup or medicinal soup. It is suggested to choose less rich and greasy soup bases, such as incense pot, sand tea pot, curry pot and milk pot. If you cook hot pot at home, you can cook it with all kinds of fresh vegetables, such as corn, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms and kelp. There is no concern about animal fat, and the soup is quite sweet.
2) Remove the oil slick. Cooking broth or ingredients with chickens and pigs will release oil, remove floating oil in the pot, reduce fat intake and help control weight.
3) In the process of adding soup to the boiling pot, the soup will become more and more salty. It is suggested to dilute with water, which is especially important for patients with chronic diseases such as kidney disease and hypertension who need to limit sodium intake. According to the recommendation of the American Heart Association, the sodium intake per person per day is below 2400 mg, and a bowl of 250 ml soup contains about 200 ~ 1.400 mg (equivalent to 0.5~3.5 g of salt). Soup lovers may consume much more sodium than recommended. If this happens frequently, it will not only affect blood pressure, but also cause kidney burden.
4) Reduce the consumption of soup. In addition to reducing sodium intake, the content of purine in broth is high, and people with gout or high uric acid should also pay attention.
