Don't throw away the spices that are added for the smell. If you don't like the taste, just swallow it. Eating greens is more effective. Since they are not cooked yet, they must be full of vitamin C. Green chilies are good. Even if you can't use more because it's spicy, it's not bad if you can add a little here and there.

plum, Ripe pickled pears, etc., are really valuable from a health point of view. Just look at the vitamin C in plums. If you mash plums, use only raw ones. If you grind garlic and green chilies with peanut hair, you will have to say that the antioxidants in this mixture are the same. So even if you respect me a little bit, it goes away. Similarly, you can use ripe (red) pickled yam. You can get the same benefits. Mashed eggplant should be treated the same way. If you like fish paste, You can add dried shrimp, but it doesn't have the same nutritional effect as peanuts. I'm afraid it will be more salty.

Khajeu (Uwa) means all kinds of benefits, Especially because of its powerful antioxidant beta carotene, it is one of the heroes that health nutritionists put at the top of foods. It is very good to mix this with meat desserts. Add to fried greens, Add to twelve soups, In addition to adding it to various fruit dishes, it is also eaten as a salad such as grated papaya salad.

Pulses are a staple food that Burmese people have to consume every day. In addition to cooking it as usual, you can also mix it with vegetables. chickpeas Red bean little bean peanut butter Butterflies etc. roasted pickled leaves, Stir-fry with spinach. It is a vegetarian dish and tastes good. It has a variety of nutritional effects, so it must be a dish to rely on for health. Another example is to cook peanut butter like a pot and mix it with shrimp or lobster. It must be a dish with full nutritional value. As far as meat dishes are concerned, the cost is not high, and the meat content is full.

Another hero is the Burmese way of making bean paste. Chinese way At least 2 times a week after experimenting with various recipes. Eat about 3 times. Using the beans mentioned above, both with meat and Can be mixed with vegetables.

Tomatoes are very edible, so try to find them and eat them every day.

Sprouts such as beans, These peanuts are very good to eat. The main benefit is vitamin E. You can also get fiber and other antioxidants.
foam, These are a kind of food that is encouraged in the Burmese diet. There are so many varieties and so valuable. I eat raw food, so I don't run out of vitamins and minerals. But cleaning will be given special attention, Eating raw vegetables can cause diarrhea. So you will have to wash it carefully. Even so, I want to be pure. Wash thoroughly. Is it enough to want to be enough? at

We have already presented how important fiber is in modern disease prevention. Eating less fiber is one of the reasons for the rise in the number of diseases that kill people today. As mentioned above, if you eat more vegetables, you will have sufficient fiber. Among the two types of fiber, we should not forget to eat soluble fiber. This type of fiber is found in fruits with many seeds and mucilaginous resins. So a variety of eggplants, okra Sometimes it's worth eating pickled yams. You can put it in the foam. Among the fruits, guava fruit, which has many seeds, Ripe strawberries are rich in soluble fiber.
There are still important things. These are to use only good oil (bean oil). not to eat fried food not to use butter margarine; to reduce salt It is to maintain weight so as not to gain weight. You need to always be mindful of these things when planning and cooking.

The next thing to be careful about and eat less is salt (saltiness). Fish paste, a staple food of Myanmar, five or six sauce Dried shrimp are salty items. So fish paste, You will have to reduce the sauce. It will have to be replaced. The best is the tomato puree (Pan Chumju). You can also use canned sesame seeds and pickles. (Note - Sesame seeds are said to have a liver cancer-promoting toxin)

Don't eat out as much as you can. The things I don't trust in food are oil (the most used oil is inappropriate); salt (more often, otherwise I use soup powder, so the sodium is high); Durable material (often included), Freshness and most importantly cleanliness. Also, don't encourage digging. The reasons mentioned above for the letter apply here. When cooking, I will give you a few tips to be aware of. Don't use too much oil. Do not cook oily curry often. Don't let too much oil when cooking. Many Burmese restaurants have too much oil in the curry. Fish are drowning in oil. Never eat such things. If you can't afford it, filter the oil and eat only the meat chunks. fresh water Only cook the kind of curry with leftover oil and water. Encourage completely oil-free recipes that require very little oil. baked grilled dip All will be in this category.

Avoid fried foods. Don't eat fried foods. If you need to fry in oil, don't leave it until the oil is hot and the steam rises for a long time. Very dangerous. steam rise Keep it until just before going up.
There are recipes that use very little oil and do not require heating the oil. For example, pickled curry, this curry is a popular dish among Burmese people. There is this kind of dish in Thailand. You don't need to use oil if you use the Thai recipe. This is how it is cooked in the Philippines. Myanmar has too much oil, and it seems that they are using oil too much. Their method is to boil water and add sliced ​​and pureed onions. white fish paste Add sauce and continue to boil. It takes a long time until the onions are soft. Then add the vegetables that will be used. Add tamarind juice to the menu and finally add the seasoned shrimp. For Burmese, who cannot do without oil, fish paste, You can add a little oil when adding the sauce. It takes a long time to continue boiling, so the green oil doesn't smell rancid. The risk is reduced because the oil is not heated. If you use black painted nonstick pans called nonstick pans, you save oil. Thai food has much less oil compared to Burmese food. This must be imitated.

Chinese food is low in fat. Burmese food is Chinese, There are similarities with Thai food (especially in Tanintharyi recipes), but I think it's because of the speed of contact with India that there is more oil. The recipes are based on local produce, right? So in Myanmar, which has good oil production, they start using more oil. Now, the practice of adding sugar to Burmese recipes is increasing. On TV cooking programs, most of the dishes contain sugar. Do not encourage this. In fact, neighboring Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia Singapore Cambodia Compared to the food of countries such as Indonesia, Burmese food consumes the most oil. So it's good to reduce fuel consumption.

If you eat vegetables, you need to eat a variety of colors. Only then can vitamins that benefit health and prevent diseases. micron Full of antioxidants. Therefore, eat the following dishes often with mixed vegetables. For example, in salads, in addition to the vegetables that will be added to the salad, additional ingredients such as onion, Parsley garlic, green chilies Sesame Use Hlaing Hlaing of peanut hair. No parsley, Horseshoe leaves can be used as a substitute when rare. During the horseshoe season, use him as much as you can. Where parsley is used, you can add it. For example, dried fruit salad, Fish salad.

Peanuts in Thanatuk Using more sesame, oil Reduce salt. Nuts are very important for health, so you have to eat a lot of them. You can use easy peanuts here. Other cashews Walnuts etc. can be used as appropriate.

soup Do not use vegetables in pickled soups Add two other vegetables that will match. Parsley Add leek wherever needed. Add these to the curry a little cold. Don't destroy the beneficial substances.
Add all kinds of vegetables to the fried greens. Use egg (Khajek egg) in Western vegetable salad called salad is also a very good food. tomato, cucumber, I often use lettuce. You can add other vegetables. For example, avocado (a fruit that must be used with special effort); pineapple, onion, leek, Mustard etc. The liquid (dressing) for the salad is oil (bean oil, sesame oil is preferred), a little salt, Vinegar Mix together the lime juice, pepper powder (and a little garlic, if you like). It is better to put it in a small bottle and shake it. When about to eat, pour over the vegetables and give it to the children. When it's cold like winter, the vegetables are medium-sized and crispy, so they're very good to eat. It is health food. fried noodles The pickles that are eaten with fried rice etc. are the foods you should eat if they have vegetables and lime juice. onion, Parsley In addition to mint etc., there are other things that can be done to make a change. For example, Khajek, 2. 3 hours Green chilies about to eat Parsley You can eat it sprinkled with chives. Can't eat rice and noodles. When you finish a meal with fried lotus seeds etc., you should use these three to supplement the vegetables. You can use pickled bean paste here. Try to mix the chickpeas with other vegetables wherever you can. No matter what kind of dish it is, if it contains beans, the nutritional value will increase, so it is a food that you have to eat a lot.

What I want to present in a series is a few cautionary notes in cooking. If you have to boil the vegetable for other purposes like dipping, reuse the cooking liquid. Do not pour. Can be used in soups and sauces.

Vegetables, especially thorn leaves; Don't boil green leaves such as plantain leaves for a long time. I'm afraid that the good effect, especially vitamin C, will disappear. Always cook lightly with salt. For those who want to eat more salt, add more at the table. If you have a person who eats light salt, cook it without salt or the lightest, and set it aside for someone who eats light salt, then add more salt as needed. Avoid all dyes. (Pickled shrimp, bamboo shoots, pickled sesame seeds, etc.) When cooking oil, don't let it sit on the pan. Be careful not to inhale the rising oil fumes. These oil vapors promote cancer. Do not reuse the oil left over from frying.

If you have to fry for a long time, fill the pan with water and let it cool for a while before continuing to fry.
oil storage box, Do not place the bottle in a place with strong light. Keep in a dark place. Do not mix water with oil. If there is water, the oil will break down quickly and often cause bad effects. Similarly, rancid oil is no longer healthy. Fried meat and fish When cooking, don't leave the oil until the steam rises for a long time. Add oil and fry. Wash raw vegetables with plenty of water.

Use (plastic) gloves when mixing salads etc. It's best if you can throw it away. If you have to reuse it, wash it and save it. When you are about to use it again, put the bag in your hand and wash it again with soap.
Don't stir the dishes from time to time. roasted pickled leaves, leaves Add the rotted thorn leaves only when you are about to eat them. Sometimes valuable substances can be lost. (especially important vitamin C), In addition, it is time to burn out. Take special care to avoid flies. Always cover food. If you practice and keep these points in mind while cooking, you will definitely be healthy.
