Why does Fu Tou eat Fu Tou jiaozi? What kind of stuffing is good for jiaozi?

There is a saying in the north that "jiaozi lies on his head, and pancakes spread eggs on his feet". It is a traditional custom to eat jiaozi on the head, because when it rains, people have a bad appetite and can't eat anything, while jiaozi is a food that stimulates and satisfies the appetite in the traditional customs of China people.

Jiaozi is shaped like an ingot, and "Fu" and "Fu" are homophonic, so "Fu Tou" in jiaozi is also called "Yuanbao Fu". In hot summer, people often have a bad appetite and can't eat anything, and jiaozi is a traditional custom to satisfy their appetite. Therefore, people eat jiaozi on their heads, hoping to spend the summer safely. More importantly, eating jiaozi, drinking hot soup and sweating all over can dispel the "poisonous fire" in midsummer and make up for the physical exertion in sultry weather.

Why do you want to eat pasta in dog days?

This is because in summer, the temperature is very high and you sweat a lot, so you will lose a lot of protein, amino acids, and a lot of B vitamins and minerals such as potassium and sodium. Compared with rice, protein in white flour is higher, and B vitamins and various minerals are about twice as high as refined white rice, so eating noodles is more conducive to supplementing nutrition and absorption.

At present, most people are overnourished, so we should change our diet appropriately to meet the nutritional needs of people now. For example, if you eat jiaozi on your head, you can put some bean flour in the dough, which can improve the protein content of dumpling skin. Because flour lacks lysine, soybean flour is just rich in lysine, so you can mix 10% soybean flour with 90% flour, and it will be close to the ideal level.

As a kind of pasta with stuffing, jiaozi has the greatest advantage of rich nutrition: it is both a staple food and a non-staple food; There are both meat dishes and vegetarian dishes, which can provide a variety of nutrients. The skin made of flour contains many vitamins and trace elements. Vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, fennel and leek are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Pork or beef and mutton can supplement high-quality protein. It is best to add some mushrooms, kelp, black fungus, onion and ginger to the filling. Because fungi are anti-cancer foods, onions and ginger have bactericidal effects.
