2. Analysis of the mechanism of pork ignition
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that pork is flat but prone to phlegm and dampness, and improper cooking methods will lead to an increase in "fifth fire". Modern nutrition points out that high-temperature frying will denature proteins in pork to produce AGEs (latest glycosylation terminal products), which is a key substance that triggers an inflammatory response.
| How to cook | Fire index | Key inflammatory substances |
|---|---|---|
| Charcoal barbecue | ★★★★★ | Benzopyrene + Heterocyclic amine |
| High temperature frying | ★★★★☆ | AGEs+oxidized cholesterol |
| Braised sauce | ★★★☆☆ | Glycated hemoglobin |
| Steamed and boiled | ★☆☆☆☆ | Not detected |
3. Five major cooking plans for reducing fire
1.Winter melon, barley and rib soup
The moisture content of winter melon is 96.6%, and it can enhance the diuretic effect with coix seed. It is recommended to use pork ribs, blanch them and simmer them in low heat for 90 minutes, which can reduce the purine content by 40%.
2.White-cut meat with bitter melon
Use the "three soaks and three-out" process: put the pork in a pot with cold water, boil the water and simmer it off the heat, repeat 3 times. Slice the bitter melon and ice it after salting. The combination of the two can increase the activity of glutathione by 32%.
3.Pear juice slices
Use pear juice instead of sweet and sour sauce, the arbutin in pears can neutralize aldehyde substances in meat. Experiments show that this practice can increase the DPPH radical scavenging rate to 78%.
4.Steamed meat with lotus root
The mucus protein contained in lotus root can wrap fat particles. Brown rice flour is used instead of glutinous rice flour, the dietary fiber content increases by 4 times, and the steaming temperature is best controlled at 102℃.
5.Honeysuckle stewed pig heart
For people with strong heart fire, the chlorogenic acid in honeysuckle works synergistically with pig heart coenzyme Q10. After simmering in water for 2 hours, the dissolution rate of the active ingredient reaches 67%.
4. The golden ratio of ingredients
| Main material | Fire-reducing auxiliary materials | Best ratio | Mechanism of action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pork 100g | Horse hoof | 1:0.6 | Water chestnut inhibits TLR4 pathway |
| Pig bone 200g | green beans | 1:1 | Mung bean polyphenol chelating heavy metal |
| Pork liver 150g | Lycium barbarum leaves | 1:0.8 | Chlorophyll promotes choletic acid excretion |
Recent hot search cases show that a food blogger's "Cool Version of Braised Pork" video (using Luohan Fruit instead of sugar + bamboo fungus to absorb oil) has received 3.2 million likes, proving that healthy and improved recipes have widespread communication potential. It is recommended to choose pork hind legs instead of pork belly, as the saturated fatty acid content can be directly reduced by 28%.
