Why do Yunnan people like mint so much?

Mint is a sacred thing. In Yunnan, the most common place is beef and mutton rice noodle shop. There are bound to be some mints floating on the steaming bowl of rice noodles served by the boss.

People who love mint and are bold and unrestrained can chew it in a few bites, with a memorable expression. Be a little reserved, press the mint floating in the middle of the bowl into the hot soup with chopsticks for a while, and then take it out and mix it with rice noodles. In short, in Yunnan, beef and mutton rice noodles without mint must be fake beef and mutton rice noodles.

Of course, mint also likes to appear in hot pot restaurants of all sizes. People in Yunnan who have been sweating like a pig always like to shout and have another plate of mint. Basically, a plate full of mint is put into the pot and fished out in a few times.

It tastes good, it tastes cold, and it's even a little cold between the lips and teeth. Even if it has been swallowed into the stomach, the whole body seems to be full of mint flavor, which makes people gasp again and again involuntarily.

But after a long time, some foreigners have stayed in Yunnan for a long time and feel that, to be honest, there is no mint when mutton is boiled, which seems a little uncomfortable.

Mint, also known as fish vanilla, is a perennial herb in Labiatae. As a kind of medicinal and edible wild vegetable, mint has increasingly become a well-known green food and nutritional health food in people's daily life.

Mint has a fresh taste and strong odor penetration, so it is used to treat fever, stuffy nose, headache and sore throat caused by colds and upper respiratory tract infections.

Eight kinds of catechuic acid contained in mint are effective anti-inflammatory agents, which can inhibit 3a- hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and have weak anti-inflammatory effect. The blue sesame oil hydrocarbon contained in mint has anti-inflammatory effect on scalded rabbit ears.

Mint can increase the secretion of mucus in respiratory tract. Removing mucus attached to mucous membrane can reduce foam sputum and increase effective ventilation of respiratory tract.

The main edible parts with cool taste are stems and leaves, which can also be eaten by squeezing juice, and can be used as flavoring agent, spice, wine and tea.

It seems that other provinces seldom use mint, but Yunnan is rich. It grows everywhere and likes to eat. It tastes very fresh and refreshing. And very appetizing.

As far as I know, there are many ways to eat it, such as: cold salad (with a little millet spicy+Laoganma Shuidou Valley+tomatoes) is simple and delicious for the public, and soup (with mint and two eggs) is turned over. The color is nice and delicious. Seasoning: mint is also a very good seasoning, especially magical. If you put a little mint in the well-known fried potatoes, it will have another taste. Secondly, if you like to cook some beef, mutton, dog meat and so on. Just press a little mint, it will smell fishy and fresh.

In short, mint is really a good thing to feed. Whether it is medicine or cooking, it is very good. Potting is also good.

Hijacking by Yunnan people

People in Yunnan like to eat mint for two reasons: the first is that mint can be used as a seasoning for cooking and the effect of eating mint on human body! First of all, mint is not as popular as everyone said! People in Yunnan like to use mint as seasoning. For example, eat mutton soup pot, stew beef, put some mint when cooking fish, and the most important thing is to remove the fishy smell and increase the color, fragrance and taste of the dish! Fried ribs will also put mint! Mint will also be put in the cold salad. Mint is a special spice, which has a different taste in dishes. Thin.

Why do Yunnan people like mint so much? My daughter-in-law likes to eat all kinds of freshwater fish, such as bream, crucian carp and grass carp. Every time she eats fish, she will leave me the fish with no thorns on its belly;

I really don't eat fish, because the fishbone stuck in my throat has happened several times. So every time I eat fish, I will be extra careful when eating other parts except the fish on the belly of the fish. Sometimes I'm so hungry that I don't like to spit, so I just don't eat.

Once a guest came to the house and cooked a snapper. It happens that my cousin doesn't like fish either. He is the kind of person who only eats marine fish and doesn't touch all freshwater fish. Since my cousin didn't eat it, my daughter-in-law gave the fish belly to her parents. Then, my daughter-in-law ate the most stinging bream by herself, and she ate every spit.

After dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen and had tea and chat with my cousin in the living room. My parents went out early after dinner because there was a performance at the University for the Aged. It's nothing important for my cousin to come to our house. He just invited us to take the driver's license test together. He said that four people pay together, but the driving school has a discount. Besides, it is convenient for the four of us to practice driving together.

After talking about serious business, I talked about my wife's habit of eating fish. My daughter-in-law explained to my cousin that she lived in the countryside when she was young, and there was a small river behind the old house. Her grandfather often goes to the river to cast a net for fishing. All the bigger fish are sold on the same day, and the remaining small crucian carp will be taken home for his brothers and sisters to eat.

So I have developed this habit since I was a child, which is also influenced by her grandfather. At an early age, I established such a cognition in my mind that people who can eat fish can smooth every fishbone, and my daughter-in-law's mother can't eat fish, so their brothers and sisters will give the fish clip on the fish belly to her mother to eat. Because of the habit formed all the year round, I hardly eat fish on my stomach when I grow up.

Today, I saw this question from the topic: Why do Yunnan people like mint so much? Reminds me of my daughter-in-law The reason why she likes eating fish is influenced by her family. As the saying goes, people eat whole grains. Some people like to eat fish, others like to eat meat. There is no right or wrong. They all like to eat mint in Yunnan. Apart from geographical reasons, it must be related to their eating habits. Based on this logic, let me also talk about my views.

1, first of all, it must be the problem of eating habits, just like people in Yunnan don't like to eat Regan Noodles. In the early morning in Wuhan, the breakfast stalls in the streets and lanes are full of diners queuing to eat Regan Noodles. In Wuhan, it's too early, and few people will eat rice noodles. Even for Chinese food or dinner, few people eat rice noodles, but in Kunming, whether it is small pot rice noodles or other rice noodles, it is basically the first choice for Yunnan people;

When eating beef noodles in Wuhan, everyone likes to add a little coriander to the noodle soup, which is our eating habit. We have never seen a beef noodle restaurant in Wuhan. Mint leaves are for diners, and on the one hand, they are nourished by water and soil. Everyone's living habits are different, and their eating preferences will naturally change. Therefore, people in Yunnan like to eat mint, and the most important thing is that they are influenced by local eating habits;

3. In addition to eating habits, the smell of local meat ingredients in Yunnan must be matched with mint, and the smell of mint is used to stink. For example, local people in Yunnan like to eat beef and mutton, which may be heavy. The local people stumbled upon this plant a long time ago. It can remove the odor and then gradually spread to become people's favorite ingredients;

4. For example, mint tripe soup is a standard for Yunnan people, because mint beef soup will be a little sour and more appetizing. Before adding mint to tripe in Yunnan broth, you will feel the peculiar smell of tripe when you eat it, and the uncomfortable taste will be gone in an instant because of mint. Put yourself in my shoes. If I am from Yunnan, the smell of tripe will affect my appetite, but adding mint can easily solve it.

On the dining table of Wuhan people, especially in summer, you can often eat cold dishes, cold cucumbers, cold edamame and so on. Because Wuhan is hot in summer, everyone likes to eat cold mint in Yunnan, which seems to be a truth. Because they like it, they become more passionate.

6. In Yunnan, I like to eat all kinds of rice noodles, most of which are greasy, because rice noodles are oily and fleshy. However, when mint is added to this bowl of rice noodles, the steam of rice noodles just out of the pot meets mint, and a chemical reaction can occur instantly. The air seems to be much fresher, because mint contains volatile components, and the air emits the fragrance of mint under the action of steam. This wonderful feeling can only be realized when eating Yunnan rice noodles;

7. After working in Kunming, Yunnan for a while, I still like the local climate. In summer, it is hot during the day and the temperature drops immediately at night, so I can have a cool night without turning on the air conditioner at all. This climate makes Yunnan people need to find a little coolness from their diet in the hot air during the day, and I can give it when I make mint.

8. Wuhan people don't expect to be cool in summer unless they turn on the air conditioner. So Wuhan people like to eat cold noodles and ice water in their summer diet. But in Yunnan, the temperature is high, it is really not as hot as Wuhan, but people's bodies can really feel the heat again. Because of the coolness at night, local people long for coolness, because their coolness will come at night, which can be reflected in their diet.

At the end of the paper, I want to say a few words. After working in Yunnan for several weeks, I have never been used to eating breakfast every day. My love for mint has plummeted. I didn't like it yesterday. I may like it right away after eating it a few times. This feeling still comes from the charm of mint, just like the toothpaste we like to use. Toothpaste containing mint cooling ingredients is estimated to be the most purchased by everyone. If you think about this reason, you may immediately find the reason why they like mint in your mind.

One side of the soil and water support one side. Mint is not only a condiment, but also a dish. The combination of mint and beef and mutton can not only remove the fishy smell, but also reduce the fire. Not all parts of Yunnan like to cook with mint, and other places are not clear. Kunming prefers it. Kunming has a plateau climate, which is particularly prone to upper respiratory tract infection, sore throat, swollen gums, cough and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it excessive internal heat, and mint is a very good food to clean up excessive internal heat and liver and gallbladder heat. In fact, every place will have some local unique foods with both medicinal and edible values. As the saying goes, a lot of things are also related to the local climate and geographical environment.

The common dishes made of mint in Kunming are: mint and egg soup, fried mint with leek, cold mint, beef and mutton hot pot mint, which are also delicious. There are all kinds of fried foods that are fried with mint. The fried mint is also delicious, but it has no effect on the fire. Mint can also be made into drinks, and menthol can also be extracted as a food additive.

Mint is an excellent seasoning for beef, and Puhe seasoning is used in cold salad. Cold-eaten beef slices add the fragrance and sweetness of Puhe to the flavor of the mouth, and clean up the fishy smell of beef. Therefore, in Yunnan, braised beef, beef soup, beef cold slices, mutton soup pots, beef rice noodles and so on are absolutely indispensable. Without it, the taste of beef is not authentic, and the boss's diners are also decreasing. In Pupu, Yunnan,

When I wrote down the word "mint", a few faint scent coolness suddenly rose in my heart. It is a dark green perennial herb, and menthol can be extracted from its branches and leaves, which can be used as medicine and edible. Speaking of eating mint, I want to see China. No one likes it more than Yunnan people.

When you eat in a restaurant in Yunnan, you will find a few fried mint leaves on almost every plate. This is not a decoration. It should be eaten with the main course, especially high-oil and high-water foods such as beef jerky and fried mushrooms. Don't chew a few mint leaves. That's really disappointing. I thought it was fresh at first, because the eating habits in the north are not very good at eating mat dishes. Fortunately, a local friend told me that although the fragrance of mint is rich, it will never stimulate or spoil the taste, but it will better volatilize the taste of the ingredients themselves, so I didn't miss this delicious taste. Especially after eating meat and drinking alcohol continuously, the whole person will become depressed. At this time, a mint will immediately be full of coolness, a lot of spirit, a clear feeling, and will highlight the original flavor of natural dishes.

In addition, in Yunnan, mint is also used to remove the smell of beef and mutton. Because of the limited geographical environment there, there are only goats in the area, and the smell is very strong, so mint comes in handy when you want to eat stewed mutton. Pour the mutton cooked in clear soup into a pot with fresh mint leaves, the fragrance disappears instantly, and sprinkle with a little pepper noodles, which is simply the favorite of Yunnan people. The same is true of beef. Even many beef rice noodles will add a few mint plants, and some will simply mix mint as a cold dish. It can be said that I am not happy without mint, and I became an "addict" for a time.

Yunnan people are genuine, but the customs and habits of each place are different. I'm from Chuxiong, Yunnan, and I've never heard of eating mint as a meal. But mint is cool and can be washed with water and made into soup. When eating stewed beef, it can be fried as ingredients. I have never heard of it as a meal. . . .

Maybe because of different eating habits, you will think that you are eating mint as a meal. . . .

It's not that Yunnan people like to eat Pu River. The taste of various ingredients is caused by people's taste. Mint itself has the effect of cooling, fragrant and cooling, and it is quite delicious with fish, sheep, dogs, cows and ingredients. This is the truth that one side of the soil and water can support one side.
