2.4 From the perspective of combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern nutrition, this meal is considered unhealthy:
Negative factors: The combination of hot, dry foods and raw/cold foods. French fries are fried at high temperatures, which makes them “heat-generated” foods that can easily cause internal heat and dryness. The vegetable salad, consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, consists entirely of raw/cold foods with a cool nature. These foods can damage the yang energy of the spleen and stomach, leading to weakened digestive function.
3.Side Dishes: Stir-fried vegetables like bok choy or broccoli. Stir-frying over low heat quickly helps to remove the raw and cold nature of the vegetables while preserving their qualities that are suitable for the spring and summer seasons.
Soup: Crucian Carp Soup with Shredded White Radish. The white radish helps to promote digestion and reduce stagnation, while the crucian carp strengthens the spleen and aids in fluid metabolism. This meal maintains a balanced temperature between hot and cold, and its cooking method uses both fire and water in harmony, thereby providing comprehensive nourishment for the spleen and stomach.
