What traditional food did you eat at first? The first dietary customs.

1, wonton

In some southern areas, such as Shanghai, people want to eat wonton. Actually, for southerners, wonton and jiaozi are almost a kind of food. Shanghainese have the saying "Fu Tou Wonton Er Fu Tea".

Compared with jiaozi, wonton is thin and transparent when cooked. In addition, wonton is cooked for a short time, and cold water needs to be added several times to ensure thorough cooking. Another point is that jiaozi is heavily dipped, and wonton is heavily soup, especially in Guangdong. Chicken soup and meat and bone soup are the first choice for soup base. We often eat wonton with noodles here, which is called wonton noodles.

2. Ham

People in Hangzhou call it "ham on the head and chicken on the feet". Chinese medicine believes that ham has the effects of invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, promoting fluid production and benefiting blood. Ham can be eaten all year round, but it is best to eat it in summer. In summer, people often lose their appetite and lack nutrition. Ham is nutritious, not greasy, and can stimulate appetite. Ham and wax gourd are cooked together, which is nutritious and can prevent heatstroke and get rid of diseases.

Ham soup also has nourishing effect. Foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, can be added to eliminate the concern of cancer caused by pickled food. Ham also has the function of accelerating wound healing, and is now used as an auxiliary food after surgery.

3. noodle soup

On the first day of accommodation, there is a custom in the north, that is, "jiaozi's head is on the second floor, and the eggs are laid on the third floor". In the south, for example, Shanghai eats wonton and Guangzhou eats noodle soup. Noodles are rich in carbohydrates, which can provide enough energy and absorb a lot of water during cooking. 100 grams of noodles will become about 400 grams after cooking, so it can produce a strong feeling of fullness.

In addition, noodles can stimulate people's thinking activities. People's brain and nervous system need a food with 50% carbohydrate, and noodles are the food that people's brain needs. Hard wheat contains B vitamins, which can stimulate brain cells.
