In our busy lives, we often choose to go to a restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal to relieve the fatigue of the day. Did you know that some common dishes aren't as hygienic as you think?In particular, the three major dishes of dry pot cauliflower, fried mushrooms and spicy crayfish are loved by customers, but many restaurant staff avoid them.
Let's take a look at the dry pot cauliflower. Many people think that restaurants will choose to use low-quality meat in order to save money, so they will choose to order some vegetable-based food. What you may not know is that in order to be more efficient, restaurants will also put a lot of effort into vegetarian dishes, and it may even be more than you think. Dry pot cauliflower is a must-order dish for many people in stir-fry restaurants because it has a crisp and delicious texture and is loved by everyone. Cleaning cauliflower is a technical task, because the flower spikes are dense and have a special shape, and if not handled properly, the flowers will fall apart. Cleaning yourself at home is already tedious, not to mention hard-to-clean substances such as pesticides, dust, and insect eggs in flower spikes. Therefore, in order to save time, many restaurants do not wash the cauliflower thoroughly, but directly rinse it with a water hose and fry it. This method not only saves time and effort, but also becomes the first choice for many restaurants.
Next up is fried mushrooms. In recent years, this snack has become very popular on the streets. Although it is a fried food and can be daunting, there are still many consumers who really like its crispy texture and delicious seasoning. Fried mushrooms are similar to dry pot cauliflower. In order to save time on serving, restaurants usually omit the step of washing the vegetables and directly coat them in flour and fry them in the pan. This makes people wonder, mushrooms are not as dense as cauliflower, can't everyone see if they are washed or not?That's a good question!Since mushrooms need to be coated in flour before they can be made, the dirt on their surface will be covered with flour. After frying and sprinkling with spices, you probably won't notice it at all. In this way, you may end up eating some unhygienic mushrooms.
Finally, there is the spicy crayfish that is popular all over the world. This dish has become a regular on the Chinese menu, especially on a hot summer day with a cold beer. Why is it also the "most unhygienic" food?We all know that you must choose a spicy flavor to order crayfish, and whether the shrimp you eat is fresh or not, it will be completely masked by the rich spicy flavor. But what we want to discuss today is not whether it is new or not, but whether it is clean or not. In the summer, there are many barbecue stalls on the roadside, and the demand for crayfish also increases. I heard that a restaurant with a good business can ** hundreds of catties of crayfish a day. With this huge demand, do merchants have enough time to clean up these crayfish?Even if you can really clean up each one, can you serve it in less than 10 minutes?Apparently impossible. Most restaurants are cleaned simply, as long as they look passable on the surface. There are also some businesses that choose to use chemical products such as special shrimp detergents to clean, but this will also leave other harmful substances behind. These merchants have washed the shrimp with care, but some merchants directly pour the shrimp into the oil pot in order to save time and effort, and add a large amount of soy sauce, spices and other seasonings to cover up the fishy smell of the seafood.
So, how should we solve these problems?A good solution is to "go home and do it yourself". If you want to eat crayfish, you can go to the vegetable market and pick a fatty lobster and wash and cook it yourself at home. The crayfish that come out of this way are the cleanest and most hygienic.
Although the restaurant saves time and effort, while pursuing convenience, the restaurant will also choose some sub-healthy products in order to save trouble. The purpose of our spending is to enjoy food with peace of mind, so we should also take care of our health while enjoying food. Choose a good restaurant that knows the basics to ensure that our stomach is best protected.
