*Edible Compatibility：
should:
1. Cabbage and tomato: Both Chinese cabbage and tomato are rich in vitamin C and potassium, and eating together can help prevent colds, relax muscles, and relieve emotions.
2. Cabbage and cheese: Both Chinese cabbage and cheese contain calcium and phosphorus and should be paired in moderation. For example, maintaining a high calcium-to-phosphorus ratio helps to form calcium phosphate, which strengthens teeth and bones, and helps prevent osteoporosis and muscle cramps.
3. Cabbage and lean meat: The vitamin C in Chinese cabbage combines with the protein in lean meat, which helps the synthesis of collagen and enhances the elasticity of the skin.
avoid:
1. Cabbage and cucumber: Cucumber contains vitamin C decomposing enzyme components, which will decompose the vitamin C contained in Chinese cabbage, resulting in nutrient loss.
2. Cabbage and pork liver: Pork liver contains copper, which will oxidize the vitamin C contained in oxidized Chinese cabbage, and then reduce the intake of vitamin C.
3. Cabbage, shrimp, squid, etc.: Since these foods are cold in nature, they are likely to cause diarrhea, allergies, asthma, cold hands and feet, etc., so they should be eaten less.
4. Cabbage and licorice: Cabbage is cold in nature and sweet in taste, while licorice is flat in nature and slightly warm in nature. The functions of the two are just opposite. Eating them at the same time can easily cause physical discomfort.
5. Eating Chinese cabbage and Atractylodes atractylodes at the same time will make the medicinal properties of Atractylodes atractylodes overpowering and harmful to the body.
Cooking Skills：Edible parts are tender stems and leaves. When chinese cabbage grows, the outer leaves are the first to grow, and the inner heart leaves grow out slowly later. Therefore, the outermost leaves have a greater chance of contacting pesticides. Therefore, the outer leaves must be removed, and the leaves are split into individual pieces and soaked. After about 45 minutes in water, rinse with running water. If you add a little vinegar or other acidic substances to cooking, it can keep its white color.
Notes：If it is marinated with sea salt, pepper and garlic are added to make "kimchi", which is an extremely popular food in Japan, South Korea, and northern China.
Rotten cabbage contains toxins such as nitrite, and these nitrites finally combine with secondary amines in the gastrointestinal tract to synthesize nitrosamine carcinogens. In fact, as long as the human body absorbs a large amount of nitrite, poisoning will occur, and the patient will have degenerative hemoglobinosis, black mouth disease, gastroenteritis, dyspnea, unconsciousness and other symptoms, which are fatal; If left overnight after frying, the nitrite content will also increase sharply, so it is not suitable for consumption, so as not to cause nitrite poisoning.
Dish：Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with bacon, grilled Chinese cabbage with minced legs, and soaked Chinese cabbage.
Suggested Eating Method：
Before cooking, water is scalded (half cooked). The water used in Sichuan can add a little oil to make the color of the vegetables more beautiful. Hot pot, hot oil, and savory, add hot cabbage for about 20 to 30 seconds. Avoid the old lady who cooks the dishes (the color usually becomes yellow and shrinks), and the bitter taste will become obvious.
