Year-end parties often have fried and stir-fried dishes, causing excessive consumption of greasy foods to keep the body in a state of bloating and indigestion. Accordingly, housewives can consider changing the taste of the year-end party with steamed dishes that both ensure enough nutrients and prevent boredom for Tet dishes.
Limit grease, effectively anti-greasiness
The advantage of steamed dishes is that they retain maximum nutrients and important minerals in vegetables or meat and fish. This is also a way to limit grease and prevent greasiness in endless year-end parties.
Unlike fried and stir-fried dishes that require a lot of grease, steamed dishes take advantage of heat to cook. This helps significantly reduce the amount of bad cholesterol intake into the body. A party with steamed dishes as the main dishes will help diners feel lighter and more comfortable than fried dishes.
Keep the flavor fresh and natural
While grilled or braised dishes are often rich in marinated spices, steamed dishes retain the maximum natural flavor of the ingredients. Heat will help cook food slowly without losing the water inside the food.
Thanks to this, the meat and fish still retain their sweetness and tenderness, while the vegetables are green and lush. When enjoying, you can clearly feel the freshness of each type of seafood, meat and fish, or the coolness of the vegetables. Steamed dishes usually only need to be dipped with a little ginger fish sauce or lemon salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
The simplicity but sophistication in steamed dishes will help the taste buds relax amidst countless Tet-flavored dishes.
Convenience in processing
In the busy year-end days, convenience in processing is always put first. Steamed dishes have a fairly simple processing process and do not require housewives to spend much effort and time. Just pre-process food and vegetables and fruits cleanly as well as marinate gently and put them in the steamer, the dish is basically completed.
Especially in the chilly weather of Tet, keeping the food always hot will make the year-end reunion party even warmer. For steamed dishes, you can use hotpots or steamers placed right in the middle of the banquet table. The billowing white smoke not only helps the food always be hot but also creates a gathering atmosphere when blowing and eating.
